"Kaido, do you know why I deliberately let you know this?" Alins patted Kaido on the shoulder.
"Because you are rational enough, and you have experienced enough like me, you will not choose to be naive in the face of established facts. Other brothers and sisters may not understand me very well, but you can definitely understand me."
"........."
"In this world, if we don't hold others' lives in our hands, others will hold our lives in our hands."
"Either you die or I live, it's that simple."
"If we want to live better, isn't this the only way we can do it? It's not that I have to control other people's fate, it's just the way the world is, I have no choice but to do this."
Arins passed by Kaido.
"Not only me, but if any of our brothers or sisters were diagnosed with a terminal illness, I would do the same." Alins turned around. "And without hesitation."
"Yes Nia, I will do this."
"Yes Lotta, I will do it."
"Yes, Melvy, I will do it."
"If it were you, I would do the same."
"I just hope that we brothers and sisters can take our destiny into our own hands."
".......Since you still consider me a brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Kaido was silent for a moment and sighed. "And you lied to me."
"It's better to be prepared than to be unprepared." Arins felt relieved after hearing Kaido's response.
"Well, I admit it to you openly. I was indeed the one who spread the plague. The war against the Principality of Fernan was justified, but the war against the Principality of Casas was indeed because we have not yet found any evidence of their guilt."
"You need more 'materials'. Simple plagues are no longer enough to satisfy your needs. So you need to start a war, right?"
"Yes, we could have just maintained the status quo, but you know, I see hope for recovery."
"get well?"
"That's right. Using this method to extract life energy can only prolong life, but if the amount is large enough, it can even repair damaged tissues." Alins smiled. "Plague is not enough, we need war."
“This may cause the death of many people, but as long as I am alive, I can protect more people and prevent more wars.”
"Whether from the perspective of the continent of Arlen or from the perspective of our brothers and sisters, I must do this."
"So Kaido, what's your answer?"
"If I answer that I don't support you, will you kill me?" Kaido looked up.
"Of course not, Kaido. I said, sacrifice is just a means, not an end. My real purpose has always been to protect our brothers and sisters and the achievements created by our master."
"Therefore, whether it is you or any of my brothers and sisters who rebel, I will never threaten his life."
"At most, we can restrict his freedom a little bit until he figures it out." Alins said lightly.
"If you had said it earlier, it wouldn't have been so obvious, right? With more people covering for you, there would be fewer traces. You don't have anyone to cover for you, what if the Queen finds out?" Kaido shook his head.
"Ha, Kaido, I knew you would understand me." Alins patted Kaido on the shoulder.
"It's too dark here, let's go upstairs and talk." Kaido suggested.
"I'm sorry, Kaido." However, Arins shook his head and said to Kaido apologetically, "I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a few days."
“........? What do you mean?” Kaido’s pupils shrank slightly.
"These few days are critical. I really can't take this risk. Please understand."
"Don't worry, it won't take too long. It will be resolved in about a week. I will then release you. There is enough food and water stored in the southeast corner. You just need to bear with it for a while and stay here for a few days."
"Alins, you......" Before Kaido could continue speaking, Alins had already walked around Kaido and walked to the door.
"Don't worry, if things go well, three to five days will be enough."
"Don't you trust me?" Kaido asked hurriedly.
"Of course not, my brother. In fact, I think you should show your loyalty to me first, right?"
"It's just a few days. It's okay to let you stay here, right?" After saying that, Alins closed the door, and a magic array suddenly lit up in the underground stone chamber, covering the entire basement.
“.........Now, we are in trouble.” Kaido, who was locked in the basement, was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
one-one-one-one-one-one
"Yeah, yes, that's right, the expression and the movements have to be in place." Andrew, who was watching Xiaoxiang teach Fate's etiquette on the sofa, complained a few words while watching, which was very annoying.
so annoying.
The blonde girl accepted Xiaoxiang's instructions but looked away with impatience written all over her face.
On the one hand, she was not interested in these things, and on the other hand, these red tapes would remind her of some very bad memories, and remind her of someone who should not appear in her memories.
"Very good, you performed very well in the last performance. Keep up the good work next time. You are worthy of being a young lady. You have a solid foundation. You can learn it if you study hard."
".......I don't want to learn anymore." The girl didn't respond. She didn't raise her arms or lift her hips. She was completely disobedient.
Well, the doll needs to be charged, otherwise it won’t move.
"Yeah, I've been studying for too long and I'm really tired." Andrew checked the time. "It's time for dinner, let's go have dinner first."
Hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up and she walked towards the restaurant.
This foodie.
After spending a few days together, Andrew deeply realized that this young lady was an absolute foodie, and the type who could never gain weight no matter how much she ate.
I don’t know if it’s because all the nutrients I absorbed went to my hips and chest, but no matter how much I eat, I can’t see any fat on my waist and legs. The fat all grows where it should grow.
"Tomorrow is the dance, please behave yourself."
"Uh-huh."
"........" Seeing the golden-haired girl eating with an expressionless face and not forgetting to say a few perfunctory words to him, Andrew's mouth trembled.
His appearance was very good when he was not moving, but his true colors were revealed when he started eating. His eating habits were too exaggerated. I hope he doesn't eat like this at the banquet the next day, otherwise I will be embarrassed.
Although Fate was enjoying his meal, he had not forgotten his mission at the banquet tomorrow night.
The venue is in Alins' villa. She will arrive at the banquet late and then observe if there are any acquaintances there. Although people who are not on the banquet list cannot enter the banquet, to be on the safe side, Fate thinks it is better to be cautious.
"Oh, by the way, the banquet tomorrow night is a banquet for the nobles of the imperial capital. Commoners without status cannot enter. Since you refuse to tell me your real name, I can only make up an identity for you, that of a daughter of a remote noble family. Do you mind?"
"Don't mind." Fate wiped his mouth and took the forged business card handed over by Andrew.
Written on it was the name he would use for the banquet: Phil Aaron.
Chapter 103: 111~You're welcome~
"Niya, take this warrant and call back all the royal guards guarding the imperial mausoleum and the Eagle Falcon Guard stationed at Wengshen Pass, and have them stand by in the inner city of the imperial palace."
Inside the Cailin Palace, Beatrice, wearing a nightgown and black stockings, handed a handwritten warrant to her personal knight Nia.
"Yes, sir." Nia respectfully took the warrant handed over by Beatrice and was about to go to the admissions office when she was stopped by Beatrice.
"Aren't you curious about why I called back all the royal guards?" Beatrice supported her head with both hands, smiling like an innocent little girl.
"It would be an overstepping of my authority to ask further questions about your will," Nia responded calmly.
"Hey, this time is different. I can make an exception and satisfy your curiosity~" Beatrice stood up, walked to Nia's side, stood on tiptoe, put her hands behind her back, and spoke in a playful and cute tone.
"I can finally fulfill my long-cherished wish."
"Your, long-cherished wish?" Since Beatrice had asked her to ask, Nia no longer concealed her doubts. She didn't understand what long-cherished wish Beatrice, as the queen, had that could not be fulfilled.
"If you have any difficulties, I can help you."
"No, you may not be able to fulfill my long-cherished wish, my lovely guard."
"...Then what is your long-cherished wish?" Nia didn't know why, but when she saw Beatrice in this posture, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Just watch carefully, the show is about to begin." Beatrice did not answer directly.
The half-smile on Beatrice's lips gave people a creepy feeling that corroded their bones. It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful girl could give people such a feeling.
Beatrice's abnormal behavior today made Nia shudder.
She couldn't guess who made Beatrice hate him so much.
one-one-one-one-one-one
In the imperial capital, on the evening of the banquet day, on a hasty carriage.
"You must remember your identity when you enter the banquet. Do you understand?"
"Mr. Andrew, this is the sixth time you have given instructions since we got on this carriage." The blonde girl supported her head with her hands and looked out the window casually.
"Aren't I afraid that you will forget it? Come, repeat the identity I gave you again." Andrew, who was dressed in a men's suit, still seemed worried.
The girl sighed and put on a serious face:
"My name is Fei'er Aaron, and I'm the eldest daughter of a fallen noble family in the Carlo region."
"Well, remember your identity." Andrew couldn't help but look at the girl again.
Today's Fei'er is different from the past. She is dressed up and even Andrew, who is used to seeing beauties, couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Her golden hair, as radiant as the sun, was neatly styled and fell to her perky hips. A blue rose, similar in color to her eyes, decorated the side of her hair. She wore a pure white sleeveless, cake-like dress decorated with intricate and delicate golden textures and cat's-eye gems.
In the lower body, the slender and round legs are wrapped in shiny black stockings with hollow patterns on the heels, and then there is a pair of white crystal high heels.
This dress perfectly shows all the advantages of the girl, although she does not need any extra embellishment.
Fei'er didn't ask Andrew how expensive this outfit was. It wasn't her money anyway. If Andrew wanted to spend money to save face, then let him do it.
If she were to say, she might as well just wear her usual outfit to the party. She had done that before anyway, and no one dared to object.
Of course, Andrew would not allow Fei'er's idea, so naturally, Fei'er's dress and appearance had to be arranged by Andrew.
After measuring Fei'er's body size, Andrew immediately threw Fei'er to Xiaoxiang as soon as the clothes were delivered, asking her to change Fei'er's clothes and let Fei'er put on her clothes by herself. Andrew was worried.
Imperial capital, I hope everything has been fine for all these years.
Not paying attention to the look Andrew was giving her, Fei'er stared at the scene outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
This street seemed to have not changed at all from when she first left.
Fei'er had never been to Aoshan Villa, which was located in the imperial capital of Alins. So even though she was familiar with Jinman City, she didn't know where Aoshan Villa was.
There is a speed limit when driving in the imperial capital, and you cannot drive too fast. Perhaps because of this, Fei'er felt that this road was unexpectedly long, even longer than when she took a carriage to reach the imperial capital a few days ago.
Everything on the street was so familiar, as if she was still in the day before she left the imperial capital.
But many years have passed and everything here has changed.
The imperial capital is where the wealth of the entire empire is concentrated. Every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Many powerful nobles have purchased properties here. No matter where you are in the imperial capital, you will always be surrounded by lights and feasting.
This prosperous and blooming place makes anyone who comes here linger and indulge in it.
The carriage stopped in front of a luxurious large courtyard. Fei'er slightly pulled aside the gauze curtain and found that there were many carriages parked in front of the courtyard. Without exception, they were all luxurious carriages decorated with gorgeous and complicated decorations. Obviously, they belonged to either nobles or wealthy businessmen, or at least people with some social status in the imperial capital.
The young masters and young ladies, dressed in elegant formal gowns, gracefully stepped down from the carriage with the help of servants.
The scenery that was constantly flying by stopped, the carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and it was time for her to get off.
Andrew did not bring any servants or lackeys, only the coachman. He got off first and then helped Phil down from the carriage. Of course, they all wore white gloves.
"Be careful."
Fei'er, who had rarely worn high heels and had only undergone intensive training last night, was still a little uncomfortable when getting out of the car. If Andrew hadn't supported her, she would have almost fallen off the car.
If he fell down in front of the noble young masters and young ladies, he probably wouldn't even be able to attend the banquet tonight. He would be completely disgraced.
"Do we have to hold hands like this?" Fei'er felt a little uncomfortable as Andrew held her hand and walked towards the door. Although both of them were wearing gloves and both of them were men, Fei'er just didn't feel comfortable.
"What are you talking about? You are my companion tonight. It would be strange if we didn't hold hands, right?" Andrew said in a low voice.
"Just bear with it. You don't have to dance on stage tonight anyway. We're just holding hands for a while."
If we want to teach Fei'er to dance, then last night's intensive training is obviously not enough. Ballroom dancing is not a course that can be learned overnight, but a process that accumulates over time.
Andrew didn't know what this young lady was like. Apart from her appearance, everything else about her was not related to the term aristocratic lady. She did not possess any of the qualities of a young lady. It was hard to imagine what kind of education she had received since she was a child.
Fei'er groaned and said nothing.
"Dear distinguished guests, welcome to the Aoshan Banquet hosted by Grand Knight Alins himself. May I see your invitation letters?" The white-haired butler standing tall at the door bowed to Fei'er and Andrew and greeted them politely.
"Excuse me, two distinguished guests, please come in." After taking out a monocle from his pocket and looking at the invitation letter handed over by Andrew, the white-haired butler made a gesture of invitation.
