Strange ceiling.
No, this has been played once.
Also, I’m on a diplomatic mission, so the ceiling should be unfamiliar.
Warm breath fanned against his neck.
Oh, by the way, I was raped yesterday—
Qiao Yelan suddenly jumped off the bed.
Didn't get up.
However, this did wake up the woman who was holding Qiao Yelan in her arms.
"Well...is it morning already, teacher...don't close the curtains, I want to sleep a little longer."
"I think you should explain."
"What's there to explain... This is the reward you promised me."
The woman's voice sounded extremely lazy.
"You said it yourself. As long as I can beat you, it doesn't matter what means I use. You won't hate me for that—"
Having said this, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, staring at Qiao Yelan nervously.
"You won't deny it, will you, teacher?"
"...... Won't."
Qiao Yelan lay down again and closed his eyes.
"Really?"
"If you ask again, you'll never see me again in your life - go to sleep."
His Excellency the Grand Duke immediately lay down and hugged Qiao Yelan tightly, with an unconscious curve at the corner of his mouth.
When a period of time is recognized by everyone as sage time, it is likely to be effective.
So Qiao Yelan has figured out what is going on.
The information gap between him and Grand Duke Kaster originated from his past self - he deliberately concealed this relationship and his true relationship with Grand Duke Kaster, so that he was recorded as no different from other tools in the internal information of the Tower of Babel.
As for the purpose, of course, it is to continue providing information to Qiao Yelan.
From the time Qiao Yelan woke up to the time she met Grand Duke Kaster, except for people like Kal'tsit and PRTS who knew the inside story, no one else knew that Qiao Yelan was still in a state of amnesia.
The reason is simple - the relationship between the doctor and these people is the purest one of exploitation.
Tracy, Wei Yanwu, Nicholas, Black Snake, Master Dayan... and so on. There is no extra communication or feelings between these people and Qiao Yelan. Everyone is using each other, and at most Qiao Yelan gets more.
Therefore, these people are unable to "verify" whether Qiao Yelan has lost his memory.
As long as he remembers the files and information he had recorded, and uses the correct mask to deal with each person, no one will be able to see the flaw.
The only person who could not deal with such an approach was Grand Duke Kaster - a person who had feelings for him that went far beyond interests, and even beyond teacher-student relations.
Because her understanding of him is concentrated in daily life, which is the most difficult to imitate and record, especially with Qiao Yelan's unconscious methods of hiding things from the public, there are too many possibilities for exposure.
Therefore, Qiao Yelan should have kept his distance from Duke Caster from the very beginning, because it would be difficult for him to avoid being exposed when dealing with him twice before and after he lost his memory.
Once the truth is revealed, the sense of trust that Qiao Yelan's identity can bring will disappear.
The current situation is that not only did he not stay away from the Duke of Kaister, but he indulged him, or even intentionally deepened the relationship. In addition, this was deliberately concealed in the internal archives - this ultimately led to Qiao Yelan being directly defeated by the Grand Duke of Kaister.
This is a new contradiction, which also means that
This is a new reminder [he] left for himself.
The first point of conflict came from Kazdel, which reminded Qiao Yelan to be careful of the "people" around him, as they were not on the same page as him - this made Qiao Yelan start to be on guard.
The second contradiction comes from Rutland, which reminds Qiao Yelan that in the eyes of every past self, Kal'tsit is [irreplaceable] - this points out to Qiao Yelan who he needs to be wary of.
Now, here comes the third contradiction.
It reminded Qiao Yelan that he must carry out the Longmen Coin plan to the end.
There is no doubt that in the past, when facing Duke Caister, I definitely took the initiative. At that time, I was the one upstream of the information gap, and Caister was downstream. At that time, the initiative was in my hands.
And when the time came to now, at least before I woke up today, the initiative has always been in the hands of Grand Duke Kaster - because I have lost my memory.
Just one amnesia, just one concealment, is enough to make you stumble.
So how many times had he lost his memory before today? And how many times had he been kept in the dark?
The information gap between him and PRTS is beyond reason.
But at the same time, no matter how long PRTS has held the initiative, no matter how huge the advantage is - as long as it has the information gap in its hands once, there will be a chance to turn the tables.
The emergence of contradictions one after another is enough to prove that these are not traces left by my past self who took advantage of every opportunity, but a series of plans that were completed in front of PRTS.
From Kazdel to Lateran, from Kal'tsit to Grand Duke Kast, it seems like a mess, but in fact, their triggering methods are the same.
It's like Tom tears the cheese into small pieces and arranges them into a line, tempting Jerry into a trap.
The Longmen Coin project is to use these "cheeses" as a "string".
As long as Qiao Yelan continues along this line, he will be able to find all the cheese and finally see what kind of message he left for himself.
This information will inevitably reverse the information gap between him and PRTS, and ultimately allow him to regain the initiative in this game.
As for another effect of this matter...
He no longer had to guess what he and Grand Duke Kaster had done before.
---------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the other envoys in the delegation, when Douzi greeted him with eyes of amazement and understanding, Qiao Yelan knew that he would not be able to escape the title of "Succubus Envoy".
The Shaoqing from the Honglu Temple sneered at everyone else with a look of contempt and disdain - he knew that the two empresses of Leithania were both fond of Qiao Yelan, and how could a mere grand duchess resist the favor of the Star Sea Succubus.
"Next, the preliminary negotiations with Grand Duke Caister will have to continue for a few more days."
Everyone nodded. Everyone could understand this, that was for sure.
"...I mean, private, non-public negotiations."
Everyone continued to nod. Isn't it certain that the negotiation between the two of you must be private?
The corners of Qiao Yelan's mouth twitched. What he meant was that he wanted to negotiate with Grand Duke Kaister in private, and he was also sure that there was definitely something wrong with the understanding of these guys in front of him.
However, since this kind of thing only makes things worse the more you explain it, it’s better to just keep quiet.
"…disband."
Everyone ran away immediately.
Fishing, cool!
Looking at the envoys who disappeared in an instant, Qiao Yelan sighed helplessly.
The feeling of being blown to dust again and again by the landmines buried by his past self was really hateful - but he had no way to counter or retaliate.
What else can be done?
If you think about it carefully, PRTS should be a historical problem that someone had caused before, so is it just his own fault that he has been tossed into this state?
Damn, I'm even more angry.

PS: If I have to take a break for more than one day, I will send you a notice. Otherwise, if there is a leave note every few or even dozens of chapters, new readers will think I am repeatedly going in and out of the palace.
Chapter 109 Is This You?
When Grand Duke Kaster invited Qiao Yelan for a meeting for the second time, what she saw was Qiao Yelan who was fully armed, wearing a mask, a hood and gloves, with not a single piece of skin exposed.
(As shown on the cover of this book)
"Oh, is this necessary?"
She sighed sadly.
"My breath filter has been giving me an alarm since I came in."
Qiao Yelan sneered.
Grand Duke Kaster, with a calm expression, extinguished the incense burner on the table with tea, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup for each person.
"This is the tea I bought from Dayan. It is said to be specially supplied by the royal family. Would you like to try it?"
Qiao Yelan didn't say anything and didn't move.
"Then I'll drink first, okay?"
She just smiled gracefully, picked up the cup in front of Qiao Yelan, and took a sip.
Qiao Yelan took out a sealed bottle of distilled water from his wheelchair and placed it on the table.
His silence was deafening.
Grand Duke Kaster sighed softly, took out his handkerchief, wiped off the lipstick on his lips, picked up his cup, and took another sip of tea.
Then, her face returned to its serious and majestic look.
"Then let's get down to business."
"Dayan's Longmen Coin project needs your support."
"What kind of conditions can they offer? The Dukedom of Caister rules the entire western part of Victoria. The land routes of Columbia, Bolivar and Sargon are all under my control."
"The Grand Duchy of Normandy is not the focus, but the Dukedom of Godotin is - and since Godotin has already clearly refused, Da Yan must go through me to allow the circulation of Longmen currency to more western regions."
Compared to others, it is obvious that Grand Duke Caister has a much higher economic sensitivity than his colleagues, as well as an equally accurate intelligence department.
"what do you want?"
"I want it, but Dayan can't give it to me."
The corner of the woman's mouth curled up in a sneer.
"I don't need to support the Longmen Coin project, because the areas surrounding the Dukedom of Caister have already begun to use Victorian currency imperceptibly. I am of course aware of the economic advantages that such a settlement method can bring, so I have been promoting this practice relying on the geographical advantage."
"The reason why Duke Godoting rejected Da Yan is different from that of Duke Gaodoting. He didn't see the future trend clearly, but I saw the future trend clearly. However, the Longmen Coin Project is in complete conflict with my interests because we are essentially competitors."
This is true.
Longmen and the Dukedom of Kaster are so similar.
The reason why Longmen is so important is that only through Longmen can goods from the West enter Dayan, and the same is true for the Dukedom of Kaster. Goods from the East can only enter the three countries further west through here.
If you don't go through Victoria, you either have to take the land route from Iberia to the sea to reach Sargon, or go around from Leithania in the north to Casimir and then back to Colombia - both the time and cost will increase exponentially.
"You taught me all of this, teacher. How could I forget it? But it really makes me sad that you finally chose Longmen Coin instead of Caster Pound."
She sighed with some resentment.
"If I had known that you would lose your memory to this extent, I should have let you stay with me."
Qiao Yelan was silent for a while.
In fact, even if he hadn't lost his memory, this plan would have eventually fallen into the hands of Dayan - because Dayan really needed the money.
"You don't have enough power to protect this right."
He punctured the bubble blown by Grand Duke Kaster with a bloody blast.
"The restrictions on the military, country, and territory are so obvious that the currency universal policy you promote can only be a regional policy in the end, and not applicable to all of Terra - because not all countries are as broken as Victoria."
This time it was the woman's turn to remain silent.
If she doesn't split, she won't be able to implement her unique monetary system, but if she splits, she won't be able to support the development of this system.
"Longmen Coin gives you a perfect reason to promote it. Although Da Yan will get a share of it, there is no doubt that the Dukedom of Kaster will be able to reap greater profits than the previous small-scale operations."
To put it bluntly, Duke Kaster used to eat small cakes, but now that the Longmen coins have arrived, although the cake needs to be cut and divided, the cake that needs to be divided is several times larger than before.
"——You're not really going to take the gloves from me, are you?"
