The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

It is not that they have never tried to negotiate with the young heir to the duke, but they always had a good conversation. The scene could not be said to be a happy one for the guests and the host, but it was definitely a happy one, with a full exchange of opinions.

But the other party just doesn't change.

They go their own way and are stubborn... What's even more outrageous is that they can't even play dirty tricks!

Tallulah, who had been taught strictly and even harshly by Kosich, although she didn't like tactics, she was not bad at it.

Therefore, they can only rely on the laws of the Ursus Empire and the mainstream of the entire social environment, and even the opinions of the Ursus people, to question and protest Tallulah's actions.

And it works.

Some of Tallulah's radical actions soon aroused the dissatisfaction of the powerful, and even many citizens were talking about the heir of the Eternal Duke.

After all, Tallulah was not Cosiche, and she did not have enough prestige to persuade those people to give up some interests.

And these nobles and officials came here to investigate.

Tallulah's actions have completely aroused the anger of some nobles and officials. They need to vent...and asking the Eternal Grand Duke to cut off a few pieces of flesh, isn't it a good outlet?

There are so many of them anyway.

And this time, it was indeed the Eternal Archduke who crossed the line.

……

Tallulah, who was standing next to Kosich, was a little uneasy.

She is afraid.

She did go too far this time...but she couldn't control herself.

Seeing those infected people who were teased and abused, and even those poor people who were treated as prey and escaped in the shooting range...the anger continued to burn in Drake's heart.

And she did destroy a lot of things.

But she can't fight against the current Ursus...at least not against the majority of Ursus.

The majority often means "justice".

And "justice" is invincible...usually.

Unless, that "evil" is an existence more terrifying than the combined power of most people.

……

Kosiche stopped smiling, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he slowly stood up from the desk.

"You mean...my heir did something wrong?"

"No, no, no, dear Duke of Cosiche, your heir has an extremely kind heart like you, and no one has the qualifications or the courage to deny your kindness... However, your heir sometimes Some of the things I did were really not appropriate.”

"..."

Koschich fell silent.

When Tallulah saw the silent Kosiche, she began to panic a little.

Do not……

She wasn't a little panicked, she was scared.

The situation in front of me was so similar to that time.

She has been abandoned three times, will she be abandoned a fourth time?

Some bad memories suddenly came to Tallulah's mind.

……

"I'm sorry, Xiaota."

Tallulah knew that it was her mother's helpless move, and she did not abandon her on purpose.

"I'm sorry, my daughter... it's all dad's fault. Dad didn't protect you and your mother, but dad wants you to ask one last thing. Don't hate your uncle, don't hate Wei Yanwu."

Tallulah knew that it was her father who wanted to save her, save her mother, and compensate for the trouble caused to Wei Yanwu by secretly taking mother and son to Victoria but failing. He did not abandon her on purpose.

"You win, Jackals of Ursus... Sorry, Tallulah."

Tallulah knew that that was the most correct choice Wei Yanwu made among himself and half of the citizens of Longmen, and he could only do this.

but……

Tallulah doesn't want to be abandoned...

……

'Strange, why is Tallulah trembling?Just a bunch of people scared her into this... Humph!He is probably more afraid of my punishment. '

Kosich noticed something was wrong with Tallulah, but didn't care... and didn't use mind reading.

After all, Tallulah has grown up, so she needs to leave some privacy to the other party... Black Snake considers herself to be a very liberal parent.

As long as He does not activate the black snake hidden in Tallulah's soul, who can say that He is not enlightened!

……

Kosich held the scepter and walked step by step towards the nobles and officials standing in a group.

One step, two steps...

And looking at Kosiche, who was walking towards his group step by step, even the most confident nobleman who had spoken before could not help but stutter his words.

"Uh... we just want an explanation, an apology from the duke...'s heir, and a promise that she will not interfere in some reasonable matters that are not within the scope of her responsibilities."

The noble, who had been a bit hot-headed due to his large numbers, gradually calmed down.

Noticing the shrinkage of his companions around him, the noble could not help but secretly lower the price in his heart.

These nobles and officials who came to the door could only have the qualifications to negotiate with the oldest nobles in Ursus if they stayed together.

And as long as one person surrenders... no, it doesn't even need to surrender.

As long as someone retreats, or even maintains neutrality, they will be nothing more than dry bones in the grave in front of the Eternal Grand Duke.

This is the inevitable result of an individual being too strong.

"Why apologize? And why make a promise?"

Seeing the retreat of the nobles and officials, Kosich chuckled and stopped.

He is very good at keeping a good balance.

"Come here, Tallulah."

His call allowed Tallulah to escape the nightmare of the past and return to reality.

Tallulah stood obediently next to Koscich, but her body was still trembling uncontrollably—an imperceptible tremor.

Fears from the past still haunt her after all.

And Cosiche continued without hesitation:

"I think the infected are the power Ursus should have...Although we are trapped by the development of technology, the lack of medical means, and the flaws of the social system, we are unable to freely use the power of the infected. However, the times are developing, It’s changing and progressing.”

"The late emperor realized the opportunities brought to Ursus by the industrialization of Originium, so that we can let the greedy countries spit out the lands they plundered, and let those who have been ravaged regain their dignity under the glory of Ursus. , our conquest is not to destroy, but to recast.”

"This is an opportunity to seize the times. And at that time, how many people were opposed to the late emperor? They were dismissive of the so-called industrialization?"

Snapped!

A thin, but warm hand placed on Tallulah's shoulder, dispelling all Tallulah's uneasiness and worry.

"The infected will open up a different kind of territory for my heir. What she will do will be unique in this land of Ursus... But what about you?"

Koscich once again took a step toward those people.

And those people all took a step back, or even multiple steps.

Cosich said contemptuously:

"You are just a bunch of trash! You are just a bunch of parasites who are overshadowed by the glory of your ancestors, and you are just a bunch of short-sighted rats!"

"While my heir works for Ursus, you eat, drink and merry."

"While my heir promotes change in Ursus, you vie for power."

"So, tell me."

"As I, my heir, and all the people of Ursus fight for the future of Ursus come to you...children."

"Are you going to back off?"

Everyone present fell into a long silence.

And the nobles and officials who originally came to investigate the crime had no idea of ​​asking for an explanation at this time.

They just want to escape from the mansion.

The servants in this mansion were obviously just standing around, just like the servants in other noble mansions.

The owner of this mansion is obviously just a slightly old Duke. From the outside, he doesn't even look like a calm and proud Duke, but more like a kind old man.

but……

But they seemed to feel that thousands of eyes pierced their skins and penetrated into their dirty hearts... They almost couldn't breathe.

"Excuse me, my dear Duke of Cosiche... I suddenly remembered that I still have some official business to deal with today. Please excuse me and leave first."

With the first "deserter" signal, those people seemed to suddenly wake up and began to make all kinds of lame excuses.

"Uh... I suddenly remembered that today is the one-year wedding anniversary of my tenth wife and I. I'll take my leave first."

"Sorry, Duke Cosiche, I suddenly remembered..."

"Sorry……"

"Please forgive me..."

Although the group was eager to leave, they still followed the etiquette of facing the Duke.

Rather, they did it more quickly and meticulously.

……

When they left, Coscich waved his hand to stop the servant who was about to leave, not wanting to disturb the Duke's education of the heir.

Koscich put down his hand on Tallulah's shoulder, tapped Tallulah's head gently, and sighed helplessly.

"Be careful next time and don't ask me to wipe your ass every time... I didn't raise you to make you hate me."

Coscich turned and left.

……

And what about Tallulah?

She felt like her head was foggy.

Did she think so much?

It turned out that she had been working conscientiously for the future of Ursus?

……

Cosiche, did not abandon her.

She was not forced to abandon her by external forces like her mother, father, and uncle.

She touched her chest.

The heart rate seems to be incredibly fast.

Chapter 255 Black Snake: It’s show time!

"Tallulah...you always bring me some surprises."

"But I refuse!"

"Do you think that [feeling] in that moment can convince me and solidify the connection between us?"

"Human thinking is changeable. The loyal guards never thought that they would become the butcher's knife swinging at the lord; the knights who liberated Casimir never thought that one day they would become shackles tied around the people's necks; Idealists never thought that they would become the conspirators they once despised... Tallulah, emotions will change with the passage of time, the growth of experience, or natural forgetfulness."

"Do you really think that so-called mind reading can make me believe you?"

"Unless you are willing to return to my monitoring every moment, but obviously you are not willing... What's more, if you can escape my control once, can you escape a second time?"
