The Devil Inside
Page 61
She was wearing makeup, and her long black hair was styled, with the ends of her hair falling on both sides of her face in curls, making her look bright and generous. She noticed Han Solo's gaze and was a little flustered: "What are you looking at?"
Han Solo smiled and said, "You look particularly beautiful now."
“…What are you talking about?”
cough cough.
Rachel fixed her hair and said, "Adela is teaching us etiquette. The Heroes' Gathering is a grand event after all. Leila and I got up very early this morning and spent a lot of time dressing up, so we can adapt in advance."
"very nice."
"……Thanks."
Rachel put her hands on her knees like a true lady.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Lila wants you to accompany us to the brave gathering, but only as an accompanying staff member. It may take a whole month..."
At this point, she paused.
To put it bluntly, the entourage are service personnel and servants.
Again, the only one who went there as "Laila's teammate" was Rachel.
Rachel thought this was a bit too much and unfair to Han Solo.
Couldn't Han Solo go as "Layla's teammate"?
If Rachel can do it, why can't Han?
It doesn't matter if you can't become "Lyla's teammate", just pretend that it never happened. Now Lyla wants Han Solo to accompany her, but doesn't give any substantial benefits. What's the logic?
And, for a whole month!
Han Solo had just arrived in Arendelle and had just become Monica's student. It was time for him to calm down. It was inappropriate to occupy his time for a month for no reason.
but……
Rachel glanced at Han Solo but didn't voice her thoughts.
She felt that her thoughts would affect Han Solo's judgment. Maybe he was willing to go, but after she said that, he decided not to go.
"I seem... a little selfish."
Rachel thought to herself that she actually wished Han Solo had come along.
"What do you think?" Han Solo asked.
Rachel smiled and said, "I...I think Leila is thinking too simply. A month is too long. The Kingdom of Elzlia is too far away. You should have your own things to do."
Han Solo said calmly, "Rachel, I'm not asking if I should go; I'm asking if you want me to go."
"Eh...what's the difference?"
"The Kingdom of Elzlia is indeed very far away, and I don't think I should go there. But on the other hand, it is the most powerful kingdom today, and I should go there to broaden my horizons. I can find ten reasons why I shouldn't go, and I can also find ten reasons why I should go. That's not the point."
Han Solo looked over to Rachel and met her eyes.
There was a fawn-like timidity in those ice-blue eyes.
"The key is, do you need me to go? If you need me to go, I can go."
Rachel looked away: "I...of course I don't care. Your wishes are what matter."
For Han Solo, he now has two main tasks.
The first is to upgrade the engraving to "rare level";
The second is to launch as many raids as possible.
There is no progress in the engraving upgrade, and I am currently in a state of waiting and watching the script.
Participating in the "Gathering of Heroes" can, on the one hand, allow you to have more contact with Leila and Rachel, making it easier to launch a raid. On the other hand, it is equivalent to opening a new map, meeting new NPCs, and making it easier to discover the "desperate person".
This is an excellent choice.
Han Solo said, "Rachel, we have only known each other for a few days, but I never hide my personality. You should know that I am a straightforward person. I always say what I want to say."
"Yes. Mr. Han called me 'stupid' several times, and I remember them all."
"What you just said was stupid, too."
Rachel vented her anger, and seemed a little annoyed, but she was clearly smiling: "In this room, the one who needs to brush up on 'etiquette' the most is not Leila, but you! I'm going to ask Adela to come over and teach you how to speak like a respectable gentleman!"
Han Solo also smiled: "I know you are uneasy. When the brave assembly officially begins, you will face other 'brave teammates'. They are all dragons among men, extremely powerful, and you will pale in comparison when standing next to them.
"You will have to take photos and put your name in the newspapers. The whole world will know your name. Everything about you will be discovered and presented to the world in every detail. Miss Rachel is worried that she is not gorgeous enough and cannot meet the expectations of the world."
Rachel pursed her lips and looked at Han Solo, her expression seeming a little dissatisfied.
"I'm not blaming you or making fun of you when I say this. Everyone gets stage fright and everyone has moments of insecurity. I just want to say—"
Han Solo was serious.
He looked into Rachel's eyes and added, "You should open your heart. Tell me your desires and I will satisfy you, unconditionally."
“…I don’t have any desires.”
Once again, Rachel looked away.
She twisted the black hair on the side of her face around her fingers, and her voice became much softer: "If you don't mind, I hope you can come with me... Leila is a brave man, and there will be many things to do and many people to meet. If you are there, I will have a company."
[What is Han whispering to Rachel? Rachel's face is red, and she looks a little...shy?]
[Why am I standing here while they are chatting and eating snacks over there? I can't accept this!]
【So annoying! 】
[Raid was successfully launched, free points +2 (from Leila). ]
The golden sand text suddenly appeared, and Han Solo was satisfied.
He smiled and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I will go, of course I will go. The Kingdom of Elzlia is the greatest kingdom in the world. I have wanted to visit it for a long time!"
Rachel had forgotten about Leila being taught and just smiled: "You went there on your own accord. Don't tell me it was my request."
Chapter 70 #070 Three sentences changed Adela's mind
Ms. Adela has excellent hearing.
The room was big enough and Han Solo and Rachel spoke quietly, but she could still hear them clearly.
There was no emotion on her calm face, but in Adela's heart...
I have some opinions about Han Solo.
It wasn't the sweet talk that made Adela unhappy.
Han Solo actually holds the initiative.
"Ms. Rachel is still too soft. The granddaughter of the Marquis shouldn't behave like this! She should be in a superior position, commanding Han Solo with a calm and even commanding attitude, instead of being like a young and ignorant girl like now."
It seems...
Han Solo is not a good match.
Adela thought for a moment, and then said, "At least Han Solo is not a frivolous boy. His attitude is quite sincere, and Miss Rachel has some good feelings towards him... We should create some opportunities for them. My original purpose was just to get Miss Rachel's attention away from Lady Lyra."
"…Ms. Adela!"
While thinking, Leila suddenly spoke.
Adela turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Leila pointed at Han Solo who was eating candied fruit and said, "What Han is eating now looks delicious. I want to eat one too."
Han Solo looked up.
Adela frowned. "That's exactly what I want to teach you. Lady Leila, a lady should learn to be restrained. At a formal and grand banquet, you shouldn't eat anything, even drinking water should be restrained."
Leila was shocked!
She stared and asked curiously, "Why would I go to the banquet if I'm not going to eat?"
"I'm talking about a formal and grand banquet, not an ordinary banquet."
"…No matter how formal and grand the banquet is, there will be a lot of delicious food! If you can't eat it, why serve it?"
Leila argued, her golden eyes full of grievance and her voice rose several octaves.
She is really annoyed to death!
I get up early but still can't eat enough. From yesterday until now, this aunt in front of me has been saying some ridiculous things.
What's wrong with her smile? Sometimes they say her smile is too cheerful and silly; sometimes they say her smile is too stiff and not friendly enough.
Leila really didn't understand.
A smile is a smile. Isn't it good enough as long as you can make the other person feel your happiness?
The most exaggerated thing was that Adela actually used a ruler to measure her steps, saying that every step must be maintained at "47 centimeters". Leila was completely stunned.
“…I’m not a robot.”
she said so.
Adela was very serious and her words were unquestionable: "This is etiquette. Master Leila, you are a brave man. I think it is not difficult for you to control the distance of each step you take."
It's possible...
But I have to consciously control myself every time I lift my legs. Isn't that tiring?
Adela was already a little annoyed when she saw Leila's dissatisfied face.
She always holds herself to high standards and also holds others to the same standard. If the Marquis occasionally breaks the rules, she will not show mercy but correct and advise him in person.
This kind of personality is, of course, very unpleasant.
All I can say is that there is a reason why she is still single.
At this moment, she suppressed her restlessness and said, "Lady Leila, you should know that you are about to participate in a world-class event. You will be reviewed by everyone on the Zelmon continent. You represent not only the country of 'Zeslia', but all mankind. You are a 'brave man', a symbol of hope and courage. No one wants to see a lazy, casual, and weird savior."
"Why do you put such a big hat on my head? I am indeed a brave man, but I never said that I symbolize hope and courage and represent all mankind!"
Weird shapes or something...
The words were so hurtful, even more hurtful than Han's.
Leila clenched her fists.
Adela remained unmoved: "It's never what you think that matters, but what people think. Lady Leila, with all due respect... you lack awareness."
"You don't know me at all."
There were ripples in her golden eyes and Leila's expression was serious.
Han Solo and Rachel had been watching. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Rachel quickly stood up and said, "Lyla, Adela, you... calm down."
"I'm calm! I've never been calmer than I am now!"
Leila is already on top!
Han Solo is speechless. What is going on?
You called him specifically to watch the quarrel, right?
From his earlier conversation with Rachel, he already knew who this aunt was and what they were doing.
In his opinion--
Ms. Adela, you are not very well-informed.
She might be an excellent head maid, and a perfect fit for the Marquis's mansion, but she clearly didn't understand heroes.
Han Solo is different.
He has knowledge of all the heroes in this world, including the "End Hero" who has not yet been born and the "First Generation Hero" who has not yet been resurrected.
Heroes are creatures with very strong personalities.
Compared to the others, the most normal hero...
It has to be Leila and the "first generation hero".
He put down the candied fruit in his hand, stood up and said, "Ms. Adela, can I speak? I have some ideas that I would like to discuss with you."
Adela glanced at him, then looked at the angry Leila: "Of course."
