Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

"A wicked woman with a venomous heart?"

"Very self-aware."

Roya wanted to go down the steps that Abrana gave her, but she smiled and handed him the cup of coffee.

"Drink it, it's not poisonous."

"If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have thought about it."

Having said that, Luo Ya still took the cup of coffee and drank it. After spending some time with her, he roughly knew what kind of person Abrana was. If she really wanted to kill him, she would not use such means.

"What would you do if I told you now that I poisoned this cup of coffee?"

"Well... do you think I'm afraid of death?" Luo Ya raised his eyebrows and glanced at the smiling Abrana, then took another sip of coffee.

This is a question worth pondering. Abrana reviewed all of Roya's behaviors from the time he met him until now. Although he acted very afraid of death many times, he seemed to enjoy going against her.

"Not afraid?"

"No, I'm very scared. How many people these days are really not afraid of death?"

Roya answered calmly, tapping his fingers lightly on the typewriter, which surprised Abrana. However, the cup of coffee was just a reward for his hard work. If she really wanted to kill Roya, she didn't need to do that.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, Abrana, why do you want Lavishini to be your stand-in? Is this necessary?"

Except for the lower-level personnel of Deep Pool, Roya, the school officer and everyone in this stronghold knew that Abrana was the real leader of Deep Pool. Ravshini was really not suitable for this position. Even if she was just a substitute, she lacked the necessary faith and courage.

"Are you distressed?"

"I'm just worried that you'll feel bad. You two sisters have very different personalities. Your desires are too strong, and she's too kind. You're like a mirror."

After Luo Ya finished drinking the coffee, he suddenly realized that this was the cup that Abrana usually used. This was a bit embarrassing, but Abrana herself didn't seem to care much.

"So how do you think I should treat her?"

Abrana's tail was placed on Roya's shoulders and wrapped around his neck. With just a little force, Roya's head could be twisted off.

"How else can you deal with her? You are her elder sister and she is your younger sister. You are relatives, not enemies. How can you eat her?"

The tail wrapped around her neck tightened and loosened, and Abrana just smiled, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking, just like Roya who always looked perfunctory about everything.

But Roya's words did give Abrana some ideas. Ravshini was her sister, and of course she would protect her only blood relative. However, in the eyes of many people, Ravshini's existence was actually a bit redundant.

Sometimes she didn't know what kind of ability Luo Ya had. He seemed to always be able to read her thoughts, ignoring the mask of her ambition and desire, and directly poking at her thoughts.

"It seems that many of the stories you wrote are related to Tara?"

"Yes, after all, if we want to publish the book in Victoria, we must localize these stories."

Many adaptations have been made to Victoria in Roya's stories. For example, "Snow White and the Seven Calabash Brothers" tells the story of a princess of the Kingdom of Tara who, after her father was killed by her uncle and stepmother, overthrew the brutal rule of her uncle and stepmother with the help of Victoria's seven Calabash Brothers. From then on, Victoria and the Kingdom of Tara changed their previous tit-for-tat relationship and lived in peace with each other.

There is also "Magic Brush Ma Chao" which tells the story of a magical boy from Dayan who used his paintbrush to decorate the battlefield into a field of blooming flowers, making the soldiers unwilling to fight and preventing a war.

"Then why is it always the Tara people who work together with the Victorians?"

"Hmm...you want me to write some stories with Victorians as villains, so as to arouse people's emotional dissatisfaction and gradually provoke confrontation?"

Literary works are very powerful and can influence people in a subtle way. Both Roya and Abrana know this. She has also read the stories written by Roya. Although they are somewhat different from the popular fairy tales, they are indeed very interesting.

"is it not OK?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. I have plenty of stories like that in my head, but fairy tales are for children and should convey the right values."

Luo Ya was about to continue typing on the typing machine when he felt Abrana's hand on his shoulder become a little stronger, which made him scratch his head helplessly.

"How about I tell you a story? About 2,000 years ago, there were seven countries coexisting in my hometown. Each country had its own language, customs and culture, and even the units of measurement were inconsistent. However, one day, one of the kings was very dissatisfied with the current situation. Guess what he said?"

"You can guess. He declared war on other countries?"

Abrana crossed her legs, watched Luo Ya nod and continue talking, but more than two thousand years ago...is this guy talking about Yan Country?

"He aimed his sword at the six kingdoms and unified them within ten years. He said to his ministers: From now on, all the land in the world belongs to me, and all the people are my subjects. I will make everyone speak the same language and write the same characters. My achievements will surely be praised for generations to come."

Although he was not very good at history and could only give a brief account of the story, Roya noticed that Abrana's grip became stronger.

There is a difference between being able to guess and hearing others tell you. There have been many famous kings in ancient Terra, but there are only a few that Abrana admires. One is the Great Flame Dragon who used the whole country's strength to expel the giant beast gods thousands of years ago, and the other is Igor, the first Emperor of Ursus, who defeated the gods and founded the Ursus Empire.

I thought the emperor that Luo Ya mentioned was only waging wars against neighboring countries, but I didn't expect that he would accomplish such a great feat within ten years.

Of course, Roya's few words were definitely not enough to fully tell the story of decades, it was just a brief summary, but he knew Abrana's ambitions and desires. What this woman wanted was not just to become the new King of Tara.

"Abrana, that is what a true monarch is. If you only get the territory of Tara, then the difference between you and the Grand Duke is only in name. I hope you can be a good monarch."

Luo Ya gently patted Aburana's shoulder. He was taking advantage of Aburana's desires and ambitions. Aburana knew it, but so what? Was she really satisfied with just being a feudal lord in a small area?

"So the thing to do now is not to pit Tara people against Victorians, but to put you in a position to have fewer obstacles in the future."

At first glance, this statement sounds very misleading, and in fact it is indeed very misleading. Abrana is not stupid, but she is indeed not satisfied with simply controlling the territory of Tara. This shows that Roya has grasped her psychological state.

"It's up to you. I'll have someone publish it for you after you finish writing it. Have you thought of a pen name?"

"Well...as for the pen name, just help me come up with one. It's not a big deal."

Anyway, Luo Ya was just acting on impulse and didn't expect to do anything with these stories. He only had half a year left to live.

"In that case... Dragon Knight Roya, how about this pen name?"

"Forget it, sister. This name is too embarrassing for an adult like me. Besides, where can I find a dragon to ride on..."

Before he could finish his words, Luo Ya suddenly realized that Abrana was saying something else. A bad premonition came to his mind. He looked at Abrana sitting at his desk and suddenly remembered the first words he learned in prison.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Chapter 41: Expectations for Ravshini

"The stories written by Mr. Roya are very interesting and have some depth, and are indeed suitable for leisure reading."

Rafshini put down the manuscript in her hand. Since Kal'tsit came, she no longer needed to treat Rosemary specifically, but as a substitute for Abrana, there was not much she needed to do, so Roya asked her to help review the manuscript.

What made Rafshini feel a little uncomfortable was that Roya had been staring at her since he was reviewing the manuscript. Although it was not considered rude or impolite, she was shy.

"Um, Mr. Roya, why are you staring at me?"

"Nothing, I just think that even though we are sisters and look alike, why isn't Abrana as likable as you?"

Recalling Abbrana's half-smile just now, Luo Ya felt his scalp tingling and his back chilled. He really hoped that one of the three major illusions in life, "I think she likes me", could continue to work normally.

"My... huh?"

Ravshini had no idea how to answer this question, was this saying that she was likable, but why was she being compared to her sister?

No, no, no, does Roya mean that in his heart he is more important than Abrana as a sister?

"Ah, what? You don't think you're unwelcome, do you?"

Roya made a cup of black tea and handed it over, but what he didn't expect was that Ravshini nodded.

"I have never been as good as my sister in any aspect since I was a child. In the eyes of my parents, my sister is more capable of shouldering the responsibility of reviving the bloodline of the Drake family. Although we are both Drakes, my flame is far inferior to my sister's.

"I would just want a storybook, or go out to buy some snacks and toys, but my sister wouldn't want these tiny things, she..."

No one had any expectations of Ravshini. If it weren't for Draco's bloodline, she would be no different from an ordinary girl. She liked reading, flowers, and all beautiful things.

Because of this, she was so mediocre that even as a substitute for Aburana, she seemed full of loopholes. No one, including Aburana, including the school officer and the Iron Duke who was allied with Aburana, had any expectations for her performance.

"It must be very stressful to have such an outstanding sister."

Of course, Luo Ya guessed what Lavshini was thinking. Ablana was too outstanding and too strong, which made Lavshini, as a younger sister, unable to hold her head up. Her parents or other people always praised Ablana. As expected, the evaluation Lavshini received was basically: she tried very hard, but was just a little worse than Ablana.

Is it really just a little bit short? Ravshini knew that those were just to comfort herself. Her sister rarely asked her parents for anything, because she would fight for what she wanted.

"It's just that her desires and ambitions, will they become the stepping stones for her or the fuel for her self-immolation?"

Hearing what Roya said, Lavshini looked at him with some worry. What Abrana was going to do now was very dangerous. Forming an alliance with the Iron Duke was tantamount to courting disaster. However, Lavshini could not persuade Abrana. If Deep Pool wanted to grow rapidly, it would not be possible for the two sisters alone to do so.

"Ah, don't take it seriously. I'm just speaking from my heart. But your strength, Ravshini, is actually no worse than Abrana's. You just don't know where to use your strength. To be honest, you are not suitable for this deep pool."

"But I am Draco, Draco of the Deep Pool, Draco of the Tara people, I...should save them."

It was rare for someone to have expectations of her. Lafshini seemed a little excited. Luoya guessed that this girl probably didn't even have anyone to chat with in the deep pool, let alone friends. No wonder she still liked to go there even if she didn't need to treat Rosemary. She was more suitable to be with Xiaoke and Rosemary.

Save the Tara people. This has always been the slogan of Shenchi. Because the Tara people account for a small proportion of Victoria and are not welcome for certain historical reasons, they are not treated well.

"Silly girl."

Roya reached out and tapped Ravshini lightly on the head, making her a little dazed.

"You think that all the Tara people are innocent, powerless and weak victims, but those who sent the Tara people to the factory and caused them to become infected with mineral disease and have no choice but to wait for death are also Tara people."

"This……"

"I know you want to say this is just an isolated case, but that's because you haven't seen it yet. After all, you haven't been to many places."

After collecting all his fairy tale manuscripts and preparing to hand them over to the publishing house for publication, Luo Ya looked at Rafshini with no contempt or disgust, no regret or pity, but only expectation and blessing.

"Lafshini, don't judge whether a person is noble or not by birth and bloodline. You should learn to look into their hearts. Who is greater, a cruel and powerful king with a lot of blood debts or a doctor who is willing to help others and heal the wounded?"

Ravshine wanted to lower her head. This was something no one had ever told her, not her parents or the Earl of Warwick who adopted her and Abrana. They only said that Draco was of noble blood and was destined to become the leader of the Tara people. They only told her that the Tara people were oppressed and that the Victorians were enemies who shamelessly took away their land and power.

But she actually knew that what Roya said was right. Are all Tara people innocent? Are there no compatriots among the group that persecutes Tara people?

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Well...I can tell you the reason, but don't tell Abrana."

Luo Ya looked around and found that Ravshini, the leader's substitute, was indeed unpopular and the guards here were not strong either.

"You're a good girl. It's rare to find a cute girl like you. You're kind-hearted and gentle. I don't want you to be ruined by the deep pool. You should learn to find your own way. Since you like chatting with Rosemary and the others, why not chat with Kal'tsit? She knows a lot."

Although he didn't like Kal'tsit, Luo Ya instinctively felt that she would not harm him, and it would not be a bad thing to let Rafshine have more contact with Kal'tsit.

What made Luo Ya feel even more uneasy was what Kelsey said to him. She obviously knew about Luo Ya's past, but she couldn't reveal too much. And this was actually Luo Ya's own idea? It was too incredible.

Seeing Roya preparing to leave, Ravshini subconsciously held his hand.

"Mr. Roya, what should I do with my sister?"

"She's a bit troublesome. I can't talk her down or beat her now, so I can only try to stop her from going down that path that is doomed to failure."

Luo Ya held Lafshini's hand and shook it up and down gently, then gently let go and turned to leave. Ever since he noticed Abrana's thoughts at noon, he has been avoiding the sister.

You know, his attitude towards Abbrana has not been very good. He has been mocking her here and there. Why does this girl like him? Does she have some shameful habits?

"I……"

After Roya left, Ravshini realized that her action just now was a bit bold. It was really the first time in her life that she held the hand of a man other than her father.

And it was that touch just now that made her flame feel Luo Ya's emotions. What exactly was that thing that was suppressed deep in his heart by his own layers of emotions?

Chapter 42: Xiao Ke’s Real Name

Did she really like Roya? Abbrana's rationality told her that it was impossible.

She was interested in Roya because of the Cyclops' prophecy, and then she recruited him to join. It's only been more than a week. How can you fall in love with someone so quickly? Not to mention that they are only together when they are at work every day. Roya doesn't want to see her at other times... Well, this situation seems to have improved a little not long ago. Roya will take the initiative to come to her to discuss various things.

反正就罗亚那个嘴上不饶人的欠揍性格，爱布拉娜实在想不通自己有什么理由喜欢他，何况她还是深池领袖，注定要成为塔拉啊不对，现在是成为整个维多利亚君主的人，爱情这种事情怎么可能和她有关？

"Abrana, I have made some adjustments to the training program and rules for the Candle Shadow Force, as well as the development plan for Deep Pool. The Iron Duke will agree to this as he is definitely not satisfied with Tara's small piece of land. I plan to make the copies of the fairy tales myself. If there is nothing else, I will leave."

After finishing the report in one go and throwing all the documents in his hand to Abrana, Luo Ya prepared to evacuate and run away. When he saw Abrana, he was worried that this sister would do or say something that would make him mad.

But Abrana obviously saw through his thoughts, and her flaming tail wrapped around Roya's feet, almost hanging him upside down.

"You don't want to see me so much?"

"Then do you really want to see me?"

To defeat a question with a question, Luo Ya knew that no matter whether he answered yes or no, he would not be able to satisfy Abrana. He had no idea what this elder sister was thinking, so it was best to kick the question back.

This is a very difficult question to answer. If she said it was not the case, Abrana had been subconsciously looking at Roya's empty seat, but if she said it was the case, she really couldn't say it.

"I said love Brana."

"Ok?"

"Are you interested in going out for a walk?" Luo Ya pointed outside. "Today is the New Year month. I want to buy some gifts for everyone and hand in the manuscript of the fairy tale."
