Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

It was impossible for him to leave at this critical moment. Now he stayed in the deep pool just hoping that Abrana would not go down the wrong path and drag those who followed her and her sister into the abyss.

"Mr. Roya." Ravshini knocked on the door of the ward, "Can I come in?"

"Come in, the door is not locked."

The door was gently pushed open, and Ravshini walked in with a cake, with a little worry in her eyes and a bit restrained behavior.

"Um...I heard that you were sick, I was a little worried."

"It's actually okay. Xiao Ke and Rosemary don't know about this, right?"

Luo Ya took the cake and started eating without any hesitation, and Lavshini simply sat on the bed.

"Well, Dr. Kal'tsit said not to let them disturb your rest, so I came here by myself. Is there anything I can help with? That is... I should be able to do something, right?"

There should be something she can do, at least she should help. Every time she sees Roya and Abrana busy together, she feels a little uncomfortable.

"What can you do? Help me with Xiao Ke's studies?"

"Change it, this one is too difficult."

Rafshini had a bitter smile on her face. Instead of asking her to tutor Xiao Ke, it would be better to let her go and duel with Abrana now. At least she could still fight a few moves.

"Then let me think about it. Well, smile more. You look very beautiful when you smile. You are completely different from Abrana."

"Ah!" Ravshini's face suddenly turned red. "How can I...how can I compare with my sister?"

"I didn't compare you two. You are you and she is she. But if Ravshini was just an ordinary girl, there would be a lot of people who would like her."

Roya is not stingy with his praise, especially for a kind girl like Ravshini, because she is not given too many expectations and does not have as heavy responsibilities and missions as Abbrana, so the pressure will not make her become distorted.

Being praised like this, Lavshini blushed even more, and flames couldn't help but appear from the tip of her tail. She was really easily shy.

"Have you talked to Kelsey?"

"Well, Dr. Kelsey told me a lot, and now I understand... Whether it's Tara or Victoria, the persecuted and the perpetrators cannot be divided based on their origins."

"In fact, you have already understood this, but you just can't get recognition living in such an environment."

Reaching out and touching Ravshini's horn, Roya sat up slightly.

"Sometimes if you look more and think more, you can discover many other things. For example, you may feel that you are not as talented as Abbrana in other aspects, but you don't know that she also envies you for being able to grow freely and do many things you want to do."

"Will my sister envy me too?"

"Yes, she was not born to be a king. She has to find a balance between different forces and learn conspiracy and power tactics. Her ambition and desire will also be tiring."

Roya put the finished plate aside and looked at the still reserved and shy Ravshini with gentle eyes.

"I tell you this in the hope that you can understand her and stop her from going down another path. You sisters deserve a better ending.

"But before that I still hope you can think more and do it freely."

Looking at Luo Ya's overly gentle smile, Ravshini couldn't help but look away. She always felt... her heart was beating fast.

Chapter 51: Letter from the Iron Duke

"Is that so? The Originium technique that can manipulate objects. It seems that this mysterious Secretary of the Deep Pool is indeed difficult to deal with. However, it is necessary to talk about it. Hehe... As long as our interests are aligned, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."

Playing with the golden wine glass in his hand, the old Grand Duke looked at the armored guards in front of him, with no expression on his face and no emotion in his eyes, as if what happened in Oak Forest County was just a joke not worth mentioning.

"Then I will go and invite you right away."

"No, no, no, Richard, our guests have already said that they hope to see our sincerity, so we should also show our sincerity."

The golden wine glass was thrown around casually, and the old Grand Duke slowly stood up and couldn't help coughing.

"Then let us show our sincerity a little and let the Stanford sail to Oak Forest County!"

"Yes, at your will, the great Duke of Stafford!"

Richard of the Guards saluted with a standard military salute. Even though he was old and seriously ill, the Grand Duke of Stafford in front of him still had the highest power and status in Victoria.

Following the order from Grand Duke Stafford, the entire high-speed warship began a new cruise, and he cast a disappointed look at Richard, obviously dissatisfied.

"Luo Ya... I've never heard of his name, but at this age he has such courage and strength. He is much better than my useless sons and grandsons."

On the other side, in a village on the outskirts of Oak Forest County, Abrana leaned against Roya from behind the chair as usual, not shying away from using his head to rest her chest as she watched him type out new stories one after another.

"Are you sure it's the Grand Duke of Stafford?"

She adjusted her posture and rested her head on Roya's shoulder, biting her ear gently. Abrana rarely showed the tenderness of a girl in love, and she put her arms around Roya's waist.

"There is at least a 70% chance. I heard that the Duke of Stafford is old and seriously ill. There are even rumors that he will not live long. None of his sons and grandsons can be used, let alone inherit his position. I'm so itchy, please stop biting my ears."

Reaching out and gently patting Abrana's thigh, Luo Ya also subconsciously touched it. Hmm, the feel of this black stocking is really good.

Originally, the relationship between Roya and Abrana was just budding, but maybe she was scared by Roya's sudden vomiting of blood a few days ago, so the two sisters are now particularly open and will flirt with each other in various ways as long as there is no one else around.

"At least close the door. What if someone sees us?"

"Wouldn't it seem like you have something to hide if you closed the door?"

"Nonsense, our relationship is not something that can be seen by others. If the officer knew about it, he would chase me with a sword in hand."

Luo Ya put aside the newly written "The Little Mermaid vs. the Six-Headed Shark in the Deep Sea" and stretched his body a little. In fact, it would not be a big deal if he was really seen by the officer. Luo Ya's "Midnight Ring" ability was already well known in the Deep Pool, and the officer didn't want to have much contact with him.

As long as Roya and Abrana did not publicly announce their relationship and affect the Iron Duke's plan, the school officer would turn a blind eye and acquiesce.

"Anyway, if my guess is correct, we will inevitably have to meet the Duke of Stafford next. The Iron Duke must know about it, so the colonel will come with letters from the two grand dukes tomorrow at the latest, and the Iron Duke will arrive first.

"One is from the Iron Duke, who will use a peaceful tone to tell us that the Duke of Stafford has ulterior motives and we should not cooperate. The other is undoubtedly from the Duke of Stafford, who will probably invite us to take a ride on his warship, but of course you can't go."

If Roya had just been caught in Shen Chi, he wouldn't have cared whether Abbrana would encounter any danger there. If anything happened, he would just run away with Xiao Ke and Rosemary. But now it's no longer possible. Not to mention that he had already made up his mind to get Shen Chi back on the right track, Abbrana is still his girlfriend now, so he can only bite the bullet and go ahead.

"Then let Ravshini go?"

"Don't joke about that." After tapping Abrana's head, Roya pointed at himself and said, "Of course I'll go."

"Are you qualified?"

"You should ask the Duke of Stafford this question. He is just a great duke. After making a mistake, does he still want to be received by you, the future monarch of Victoria?"

This answer was very helpful to Abrana. To be honest, even without mentioning other things about Roya, he would not starve to death just by relying on this pleasing mouth. Abrana was originally fussy about the fact that he hit her head, but now she directly absolved him of the crime.

"And I am Shen Chi's chief secretary and your boyfriend. If things go well, I might even get the title of prince in the future. Isn't it enough for me to meet him?"

Seeing Roya's smug look on his face, Abrana couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't be too proud. You are at most my personal servant now. It's too early for you to become a prince. Tell me what you think."

Based on Abrana's understanding of Roya, when he is willing to tell you his first-level plan, it often means that he has already thought about what to do on the fifth level. So since he knew that the Duke of Stafford was the person behind the Earl of Oak Forest County and knew that the other party was coming, how could Roya not have thought about how to welcome him.

"Well... keep it a secret. I need to be away for a while. If this plan succeeds, the Iron Duke will need to consider his loyalty carefully in the future."

Abrana couldn't quite understand Roya's smile, but she could guess what Roya was going to do. Although the Iron Duke swore allegiance to Abrana on the surface, he could tear up a written agreement at will, not to mention a verbal oath? If he really regarded Abrana as a monarch to whom he was loyal, why would he arrange for a school officer to monitor her?

Therefore, if they could establish contact and cooperation with the Duke of Stafford, Deep Pool's reliance on the Iron Duke would be greatly reduced, which would not be a big deal for Abramana, who was no longer obsessed with provoking emotional conflicts between the people of Tara and Victoria.

"Then how should I reward you then?"

Sitting on Roya's desk, her tail gently wrapped around his thighs, Abrana's eyes held a hint of teasing, but more of seriousness, she was the kind of woman who had to take the initiative in relationships and was very aggressive, Roya had fully experienced this in the past few days.

She either hugged him close to her like she did just now, or teased him deliberately like this, but she was not in a hurry, as if she wanted Luo Ya to be the first to beg her.

"Just look at my performance."

Luo Ya spread his hands, as if saying, "I don't know what you are talking about anyway. Are you kidding? He learned his concentration from the priests, monks and Taoists in the prison. One said that he was blessed by God, another said that he had a connection with Buddha, and the last one said that he had a deep fortune. This made Luo Ya wonder if the truck that hit him was driven by Jesus, Buddha and the Three Pure Ones together.

"Don't you want me to pay the deposit now?"

"Not very appropriate, I sense the school officer coming."

Hearing what Roya said, Abrana had no choice but to let go of her hands and tail and continued to pretend that she was just drinking tea next to Roya.

Just as Luo Ya expected, the officer quickly ran over with a letter.

"Your Highness Abrana, this is a letter from the Duke, saying... it's addressed to Secretary Roya alone."

Give it to him alone? Roya became interested in the Iron Duke whom he had never met. It seemed that he realized that even though Roya had never been to any other camp or base camp in Shenchi, he had been constantly using ciphertexts to transfer the Shenchi troops away from his territory one by one in this stronghold.

Originally, the Iron Duke didn't care much about these things. If Shen Chi could really get rid of his control so easily, wouldn't he be eating dry rice? But after learning that Roya was interested in contacting other Grand Dukes, his attitude had to change a little.

.............................................

Dear Mr. Roya

I was surprised to hear that Mr. Luo Ya is now the chief secretary of Shenchi beside Abrana. I heard that you were at the disposal of Mr. Wei Yanwu of Longmen, but now you have left Mr. Wei to join Shenchi. With Mr. Abrana's help, Shenchi's cause will be more successful. However, I heard that you intend to contact other grand dukes, which I think is too reckless.

The Duke of Caster is very cunning and shrewd; the Duke of Normandy has been dormant for a long time and has been developing secretly; the Duke of Cavendish is plotting and has evil intentions...

To sum up, I still hope that you can consider it carefully and look forward to meeting you. I am your Majesty's cavalryman and you are your highness. Please convey my opinions to Her Highness Abrana. I will write another letter to state my views.

"This old... Duke is really interesting. He even wrote to me in the Great Yan language. It must have taken him a long time to write this letter, right?"

He almost uttered the word "old thing". Luo Ya could even sense a hint of murderous intent from the Iron Duke's sharp handwriting.

It was just a simple letter, without any fierce words or condescending tone, but this was what troubled Roya the most. Firstly, this was due to their identities. Although Roya was a commoner and the Iron Duke was a noble, the former was the secretary appointed by Abrana herself. If the Iron Duke Wellington was in charge of Deep Pool's foreign wars, then Roya was in charge of Deep Pool's internal management. Secondly, this meant that the Iron Duke Wellington knew his origins and had therefore treated him as an equal.

"After all, it is a letter written by the Duke himself, so of course we have to take the most urgent route."

"Then please send this reply letter along."

He opened the drawer and took out a reply letter and handed it to the school officer. What made Luo Ya feel a little funny was that the Duke of Victoria Wellington wrote to him in the Great Yan language, and as a Great Yan, he replied to the Iron Duke in Victorian. It can only be said that both parties were too considerate of each other and were afraid that there would be errors in the translation of the language and cause the other party to misunderstand their meaning.

"This……"

Looking at the reply that had been prepared long ago, and then looking at Luo Ya's unpredictable smile, the fear that had never dissipated in the colonel's heart spread again. This meant that Luo Ya not only knew the Iron Duke's reaction in advance, but even predicted what he was going to say?

"Any comments?"

"No, I'll go right away!"

This time, the colonel finally put himself in a position lower than Roya. He could not understand the Great Yan language, but the fact that he wrote the letter in a language other than Victoria represented the Iron Duke's attention. He would need to adjust his attitude towards Roya in the future.

As soon as the officer left, Abrana put her hands on Roya's waist, with a dangerous smile on her face.

"What was written in the letter?"

"Nothing, pretty much as expected. The only thing that surprised me was that I'm from Longmen."

Roya stroked his chin, looking a little surprised but not shocked. Abbrana's tail once again wrapped around his feet, and the smile on her face became even bigger, but this was actually equivalent to telling Roya that she understood what was written in the letter and to tell him the truth.

"Yes, and he is a subordinate of the Governor Wei of Longmen. I am really surprised."

"It seems that the Iron Duke had already started investigating me the day we met, or maybe I am very famous in Longmen. However... it is not ruled out that I am just a coincidence of names. After all, Xiao Ke found me in the wilderness."

Logically speaking, Roya could not be an undercover agent like France, because he originally planned to go to Minos with his family, and it was Abrana who forced him to join the Deep Pool, so there was no subjective motive.

"Are there many people named Luo Ya in your Da Yan?"

"First of all, I'm not from Dayan. It's just that the customs and culture of that place are very similar to my home. Secondly, there are quite a few people with this name in our place...hiss, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Seeing Roya gasp in pain, Abrana let go of his waist. She knew that Roya could not be an undercover sent by Wei Yanwu, but the Iron Duke did not dare to be so sure. The reason was very simple. Wei Yanwu was involved with another bloodline of the Red Dragon Drake clan. What he was afraid of was not that Roya wanted to let Shenchi escape from his control, but the possible interference from Dayan.

"You really don't know that you are from Longmen?"

"I have no idea. You know I'm missing a piece of memory, and if he says it's true, then it's true. Do you believe that old man or your boyfriend?"

"That makes sense." Abrana's lips curled up. She was not stupid, so how could she not guess what the Iron Duke was thinking? "What do you think of this letter?"

Not to mention the wording in the letter, the fact that he only wrote to Roya instead of Abrana is very interesting. This is a subtle expression of his dissatisfaction with Abrana. As a leader, he let Roya be responsible for all the affairs of the Deep Pool while he just drank tea.

"What else can I say? The old man just ran up to me and said, 'If you dare to associate with other grand dukes or let Deep Pool escape from my control, I will fucking kill you!' and then drove his high-speed battleship into my face."

Roya's accurate and interesting descriptions always make Abrana smile. She likes Roya's attitude of being nonchalant no matter what happens and always thinking calmly. This is the kind of person she likes.

"But it's a bit troublesome. Only half of Shenchi's assets have been moved away, and the turnover of personnel is only 40%. Most of our assets are tightly controlled by the Iron Duke. Fortunately, he is willing to call himself a minister, otherwise we will have a real headache."

"But you still thought of a solution and even wrote a reply letter."

"In fact, my letter didn't say much. It can be summed up in just one sentence."

Roya tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, a subconscious action when he was thinking. Abrana sat back in her seat, stretched out her hands, held him in her arms and sat him on her lap.

"What is it?"

No one would come for a while, and knowing that Abrana was a strong woman, Luo Ya didn't say anything. After all, he was very comfortable and she was his girlfriend, so there was nothing to be shy about.

"You old man have no right to interfere with what I do, that's all."

Roya smiled. Abrana was stunned at first, but then she realized that this guy had cut off her retreat. The letter would definitely cause discord between the Iron Duke and Deep Pool, which was now controlled by Roya. It was possible that they would fall out, and in that case, they would lose their greatest support.
