Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"Let's prepare for both situations. As for Londinium, I want to contact the descendants of Grand Duke Cumberland and the Steam Knights first. These people were once loyal retainers of King Aslan. Whether for safety reasons or because they want Aslan to ascend the throne again, these people are very likely to have met Vina."

Clovisia nodded thoughtfully.

This is the truth. After all, if Gawain really just wanted to protect Aslan's bloodline, he could have taken the little girl away long ago - and staying in Londinium, doesn't that necessarily mean he has other intentions?

"What if we still can't find it?"

"Then let's give Mr. Edward a blood pressure challenge. I have already taken away his wife, and I can take away his child, and then send the Sarkaz into Londinium and trample on his homeland wantonly - I don't believe he won't react."

Qiao Yelan said casually.

"Take his child?"

"There must be a chess piece in hand, just like Wellington wanted to kill the Gael King and his wife. I am just kind-hearted and can't stand killing an entire family."

"Who's going to rob it?"

"Kosice."

Before Qiao Yelan could react, Clovisia had already pushed him into the wheelchair again.

"Still mentioning that woman's name..."

"No, she and I are just partners! And we only started to get in touch several decades ago."

"So it is said that new people are worse than old clothes. It is true that new people can give you greater stimulation."

She said sadly.

"No, that black snake is too stupid. It feels like I'm playing with a fool. I'm starting to feel a little guilty just for using her."

Qiao Yelan argued.

"Really?"

"real."

The unicorn then let go of Qiao Yelan and returned to his sofa.

The man breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't have any left.

"So your next step is to contact Allardy Cumberland and Charles Lynch, the leader of the Steam Knights?"

"Yes, as the Cumberland who was once the most loyal to King Aslan, Aledae may be able to give me some clues. As for Mr. Charles, I hope to reach some 'secret agreement' with him."

"What kind of secret agreement?"

"That can only be confirmed after I finish the discussion."

Clovisia nodded and decided to give Qiao Yelan some psychological preparation.

"Then you better be careful. Alede Cumberland is now one of Grand Duke Caister's pawns, and the Steam Knights have become a thorn in the eyes of all the nobles. Everyone is secretly planning to consume them all."

"Consumption?"

"Yes. They plan to use the name of the Victorian Parliament to send these knights to fight in the most hostile areas without providing them with adequate logistical support. The Steam Knights factory has been completely shut down. The next step is to demolish it and divide up all the skilled workers to completely eliminate the existence of the Steam Knights."

Hearing this, Qiao Yelan gritted his teeth.

Damn, these bugs.

"Help me delay it for a while. I will buy the entire Steam Knight production line, as well as those workers. After all, this is one of my hard work. I can't just sit there and watch."

“I’ve already bought most of them.”

The woman wiggled her finger.

"That's what you spent so much effort to build. How could I just watch them get destroyed? I have sealed the machine tools and production lines in the underground warehouse. Most of the skilled workers are also in the factory under my name. They have been marked. If they need to be restarted, they can be pulled out at any time."

A smile appeared on Qiao Yelan's face.

"Thank you, Clovisia."

"Hmph, just thank you?"

"...I just can't do it today."

Qiao Yelan spoke sincerely.

The unicorn licked its lips, tacitly agreeing with Qiao Yelan's words.

I really ate a lot today.

Chapter 119 Do you want to see how you teach your children?

"Why are you back, Mr. Qiao Yelan?"

The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple asked in surprise.

Qiao Yelan:?

Are you guys fucking stupid from slacking off?

In other words, is there a possibility that I am also a member of the Great Yan Mission?

"Ahem, that's not what I meant - I meant that you came back even though it was already dark. We thought you wouldn't come back tonight."

Fortunately, Shaoqing also realized how stupid his previous words were and quickly tried to make amends.

"...Anyway, the Speaker's case has come to an end. All that's left is to submit the credentials and wait for Victoria's response."

"Understood. I will be ready at any time."

Shaoqing immediately took over the task.

"Do you have any plans next?"

"I still need to visit some personal friends."

"Understood - will you come back to the embassy to sleep at night?"

Qiao Yelan:?

What's going on? Is there a curfew?

"Ahem. What I mean is that everyone is tired from traveling recently and has dealt with a lot of things, so they all go to bed early. If you come back, won't there be no one to greet you?"

Shaoqing wiped his forehead. He had been sleeping so much during this period that his mind was a little unclear.

"Tired of traveling?"

"Yes."

"A lot of things?"

"Yes."

"Go to bed early?"

"Yes."

Qiao Yelan stroked his chin and stared at the sweaty Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple with a suspicious look.

"...Then take a good rest. I have my own guards, so you don't need to worry about me."

"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? This is the responsibility of the subordinates and others."

Lord Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Don't worry about my back, just tell me whether I am upright enough when facing my superiors.

"but--"

"Your orders!"

"Tell the Imperial Guards not to let their guard down. The political situation in Victoria is volatile. Even in Londinium, we must not let our guard down."

"Understood. I'll convey that message right away."

After watching Shaoqing slip away quickly, Qiao Yelan sighed.

Why are the people around him becoming more and more naive?

On the contrary, the students who left him became more and more savvy.

Is it possible that I am not suitable to be a teacher?

The man thought about it carefully.

"No, I don't believe it. I have to try again."

He made up his mind.

"If I fail this time, I will definitely not teach students next time."

-------------------------------------------------- -

When Qiao Yelan was enjoying breakfast, a guard came to him.

"Master Qiao Yelan, someone outside the embassy wants to visit you."

"Visiting me? Who?"

"It's a little girl."

Ok?

Qiao Yelan just showed a trace of doubt. A gleam of light flashed through Shaoqing's eyes. He put down the fried dough sticks in his hand, picked up the soy milk inconspicuously, covered half of his face, and glanced at the door with his peripheral vision while lowering his head.

Fishing and eating melons are twins (sure).

"Invite her in."

Then Qiao Yelan turned his kind gaze to his deputy beside him.

"I'm stuffed."

Shaoqing reluctantly put down the soy milk in his hand, and after delaying with a more cumbersome and artificial mouth-wiping action than that of a Victorian noble lady, he finally saw the appearance of the little girl before leaving the cafeteria.

His movements were a little stiff, but there was no sign of timidity on his face - he looked like a child who was forced to grow up prematurely.

Could it really be the adult’s illegitimate child?

However, Qiao Yelan did not expect that his subordinates could be so imaginative - he had already guessed who the child in front of him was.

"your name."

"Allardye, Allardye Cumberland."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"No, not yet."

"Eat a little. You're still growing. It's not a good habit to skip breakfast. You need to replenish your nutrition."

Qiao Yelan scooped a bowl of vegetable and meat porridge for the other person, picked up a few buns, and placed them in front of the seat next to him.

But obviously, Miss Aledae wasn't here to stay, so she just swallowed and forced herself to turn around and tell her mission.

"I came to ..."

"In Da Yan, you don't talk during meals, Miss Aledai."

Qiao Yelan said leisurely.

The girl had no choice but to clutch the corner of her clothes tightly with one hand, sit down next to Qiao Yelan, pick up the spoon and start drinking porridge.

Apparently, warm porridge and meat buns can effectively dispel the biting cold of Londinium in winter, as well as the pressure that a child brings to a strange environment. Aledai was a little restrained at first, but she was already relaxed when she ate the second bun.

"Would you like to have some more of this, or have some porridge first?"

"Um... this."

“Well, it’s called a bun.”

"steamed stuffed bun?"

Qiao Yelan signaled to the waiter to get another tray of buns, and then poured the girl a cup of soy milk.

Only after the girl swallowed the last bun with satisfaction did Qiao Yelan pick up the handkerchief beside him and carefully help Aledae wipe the grease off her face and hands. The girl obediently let him help her, no longer feeling the fear and terror she had before.

Waving his hand, signaling the waiter to remove the leftovers on the table, Qiao Yelan turned around with a smile and looked at the girl seriously.

"Well, little Alladhea, what is it that brings you to me?"
