All the contract girls want to marry me

No wonder Matthew admits his mistake, she looks completely different now than she did a few months ago.Although there are some traces of the past between his eyebrows and eyes, his facial features and temperament have changed.

Shirley was also confused.

Matthew smiled and said: "Anyway, it's a good thing that you have become stronger. Let's have a drink together."

The two returned to the room and sat down on their knees facing each other in front of the coffee table.

Matthew took out a whole roast chicken, placed it on the plate, cut off a chicken leg and handed it to Shirley.

“It’s been a long time since you had roast chicken, right?”

Shirley nodded and hesitated to take the chicken leg from Matthew's hand. She whispered softly: "I am a prisoner now, I..."

"You are my contractor first, and secondly the prisoner who is punished to practice here."

Matthew pushed the plate in front of Shirley and asked softly: "What are your plans in three years?"

Shirley took the chicken leg, and the alluring aroma shattered her reserve. She wanted to be polite, but the sound of her stomach "gurgling" betrayed her.

Anyway, she had already lost her image in front of Matthew, so she didn't bother to worry about it. She simply threw down the fork, held the chicken drumsticks in her hands and started chewing happily.

It still smells the same as before, but it's a little strange after being detained here for half a year.

Seeing Shirley happily eating, Matthew's lips became more smiley.

Shirley was really a guy that he loved and hated.Her cultivation progressed very quickly. Except for Surante, who had practiced in Poseidon Temple for ten years, and Wen Leiya, who had an unexpected encounter under the Salo tree, her progress was the fastest.

After eating the chicken legs, Shirley felt much better and even had the strength to joke with Matthew.

"If I want to leave, will you let me go?"

Matthew thought for a moment and said calmly: "Yes."

Shirley looked up at Matthew and was surprised to find that Matthew was not joking. She asked in a deep voice, "Is it okay even if I want to terminate the contract and leave independently?"

"Of course, but you must swear an oath not to leak the secret."

Three years later, Matthew will officially participate in the election of emperor. If successful, he will be the master of the entire empire. Even if Shirley wants to leave, she will definitely not dare to go against him.

He once promised Shirley that he would give her the opportunity to choose freely after three years.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, his words must be fulfilled.

Hearing Matthew's words, Shirley's eyes were slightly red. It took her a few seconds to adjust her emotions, and she snorted pretending to be angry.

"What, are you going to kick me out in three years? I won't leave!"

"I don't care. Since you forced me to sign the contract, I must be responsible to the end."

Shirley made her decision in a tongue-in-cheek manner.Matthew took a deep breath and his eyes gradually softened.

Of course he didn't want Shirley to leave either.

How much energy and financial resources he spent on Shirley. If he left after three years, wouldn't he lose money to his grandma's family?

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a little subtle, Matthew simply took out the reward prepared for Shirley from the storage space.

[Winter's Embrace], a blue super mace.

This weapon suits Shirley perfectly and is a perfect match for her.But this weapon looked like it was no ordinary product, and Shirley didn't accept it.

She asked quietly: "Why?"

Matthew knew what she was struggling with.

Six months later, Shirley still has not gotten over the assassination incident.

Driven by the top management of Angel Corps, she stabbed Matthew with a dagger. Afterwards, her parents and family were silenced by Angel Corps.She could never let go of this.

Looking at Shirley's troubled expression, Matthew said softly:

"You are both the perpetrator and the victim. The real culprit is the top management of Angel Legion and the financial backers behind them. They are the ones who killed your parents and forced you to assassinate me."

"Do you want revenge?"

Matthew's magnetic voice is full of temptation like a devil. When Shirley's mind is agitated, his spiritual power gradually erodes Shirley's soul, allowing Shirley to change in the direction he wants.

He succeeded.

Shirley's eyes turned red and her hands were shaking. Of course she wanted revenge.

The hatred for killing her father was irreconcilable, and she would never be able to forgive herself if she could not avenge her parents.

Although Shirley was sad, she didn't shed any tears. She bit her lip tightly and spoke in a cold voice through gritted teeth.

"I will not let go of the murderer who killed my parents, not even one of them."

Matthew was very satisfied with Shirley's attitude.Although it is not appropriate to use hatred to drive oneself forward, and one will fall into endless emptiness after revenge, but at least for now, hatred can make Shirley more energetic.

His voice rose an octave and he reminded in a persuasive way:

"Since you want revenge, then take up arms and fight! You are my contractor. Of course I will reward you after the breakthrough. This is the agreement of the contract!"

Shirley was not pretentious, nor was she any more hypocritically polite. She knelt across from the coffee table, holding the weapon in both hands and accepted Matthew's reward.

Enchanted with the slightly shiny hammer handle of [Winter's Embrace], and feeling the surging power coming from the hammer body, Shirley felt an indescribable bloodline awakening in her body.

She closed her eyes and began to feel the cold energy transmitted from [Winter's Embrace], entering a state of deep enlightenment.

Matthew knew that this situation was rare and did not disturb Shirley.

He left quietly, leaving only a letter to Shirley.

From now on, Shirley's status will change from house arrest to standby.When Matthew needs it, she must obey orders absolutely and join the battle at any time.

Of course, she had to change her identity.

No one can recognize her anyway, so it would be nice to change her identity.

Matthew didn't have to wait long.

The next afternoon, Shirley appeared on the top floor of Destiny Library.

She wore a blue robe, covering her body tightly, and she also wore a delicate blue half-face mask on her face, covering her most exposed eyes.

She knelt down on one knee in front of Matthew, her cold voice trembling.

"Lord Matthew, from today on, I will be your sharpest war hammer."

Matthew helped Shirley up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "What I need is not a war hammer, but you who regain your confidence. By the way, what is your new name?"

"Call me Winter!"

Winter?It's indeed a good name.

Matthew nodded, remembering an allusion.During the Second Ragnarok War, countless human heroes rose up and achieved immortal fame.

Among them is a warrior named Winter who is good at using ice energy.

The legendary warrior Lingdong must avenge his enemies and repay his favors. He is a person with a clear distinction between love and hate.

Shirley changed her name to Winter to express her feelings to Matthew.

She will not forget Matthew's kindness to her, and will use practical actions to atone in the future; she will not forget the murderer of her parents, and she must take revenge.

Matthew recognized Shirley's new identity and gave her a new appointment.

"Snow...Miss Winter, from now on, you will be my guard captain. When I am in danger, you must do your best to protect me!"

Matthew once left a mental imprint on Shirley's mind. He was sure that Shirley would never harm him again, so he trusted her very much.

After comforting Shirley, Matthew returned to the castle, ready to see what news there was recently.

He casually looked through the information compiled by Surante, and there seemed to be nothing noteworthy recently.

But he knew very well that this was just the silence before the storm. Once the silence was broken, it would be a storm.

Sure enough, just as he put down the information, rapid footsteps came from the corridor.

Andre opened the door and brought the latest news.

"The main force of the Imperial Army defeated the Perth Kingdom Army in the plain area, has recaptured Groningen, and is marching into the enemy's hinterland!"

Chapter 148

Did the Imperial Army win?This is the biggest good news from the frontline in half a year.

Matthew asked in surprise: "Where is the battle report?"

After receiving the battle report handed over by Andre, Matthew quickly browsed it, his expression soon became serious.

"What's going on? Why are we dividing our troops?"

Matthew vaguely felt something was wrong.After the victory, Model could only control his own troops and the Walder Knights. The other deputy commanders took their troops to disperse.

Their reasons are very good and they want to regain the lost ground as soon as possible.

Anyone can see that they care more about making money for their own interest groups.

Defeating the enemy on the frontal battlefield is thankless, and you won't get much merit.The merits of spreading out and occupying major cities are real.

As long as the city is recaptured, who dares to say that they have not made any achievements?

But is it so?

"The battle isn't over yet!"

Matthew was extremely angry and slapped the battle report on the table. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

Andre has received systematic formal military training and has a very keen understanding of the battlefield situation. Of course he knows what Matthew is worried about.

He shrugged and said disapprovingly: "Even if something happens, it is the Himilun family's business. When they suffer heavy losses, it will be our turn to clean up the situation."

For Andre, he didn't care at all whether the Claire Empire was good or not. What he cared more about was whether he could improve himself through battlefield experience.

After staying with Matthew for half a year, his combat experience is much richer than before.His sparring partners include Matthew, Zero and even Medith.

Although he couldn't beat Zero and Medis, two super strong players, he also benefited a lot from the competition.

Recently, Andre has been looking for people to spar with less and less frequently. It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but that fighting without the pressure of life and death will not improve him much.

He is more eager to go to the battlefield and seek a breakthrough between life and death.

The martial arts skills he practiced were all killing skills, and only the battlefield was the stage for her to display them.

He didn't say the words, but Matthew must have understood.

Matthew sighed softly and said in his own voice: "I also want to go to the battlefield and serve the country, but we don't even have the full strength of the Knights. Although the training level of the army is not bad, they have no actual combat experience. I am a little worried. ."

Andre was dissatisfied with Matthew's caution. He sneered softly: "Matthew, your worry reminds me of a classic joke."

"What joke?"

"The joke is a conversation between veterans and new recruits."

Andre coughed lightly and said seriously: "Veterans say to recruits, 'You can't go to the battlefield without actual combat experience.'"

"The new recruit nodded solemnly and curiously asked the veteran, 'Then when can I go to the battlefield?'"

"Wait until you have actual combat experience."

"Then how can I get practical experience?"

"You have to go to war!"

"Okay, I'm ready."

"No, you have no actual combat experience."

......

Andre wanted to keep a serious expression, but he couldn't help laughing just after telling the joke.The way he smiled was particularly beautiful, like the wilderness after the spring breeze, swaying and moving.

Matthew's only worries disappeared in Andre's laughter.

Yes, the army must go through the baptism of blood to grow, and there will be no iron army on the training ground.

Matthew was not optimistic about the division of troops on the Southern Front. He mobilized all the troops in the territory and prepared to dispatch at any time.

He is ready to step forward in times of national crisis.

He is the elector of the empire and a vested interest in the empire. Of course, he must defend the interests of the empire.

Just as Matthew was getting ready, new news kept coming.

The Southern Front Army regained the important town of Sabal and defeated three enemy divisions; the Walder Knights defeated 5 Perth Kingdom troops in the San River Plain and captured more than 3 people; the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Armies of the Southern Front set up ambushes and defeated them. The cavalry of Zalandin Khan captured more than 2 horses and [-] cattle and sheep...
