"Sister, you must know. Where's Luo Ya?"
"After so many years, Ravshini, you finally have the courage to face me head-on."
If only this courage did not come from Roya but from her own will, Abrana sighed in her heart. As a sister, she could not hide Ravshini's little tricks on Roya from her.
With her protection, there are very few men that Lavshini can come into contact with. The appearance of Roya has lit up a small light in Lavshini's heart.
Therefore, Abrana was not surprised that her sister fell in love with Roya. After all, she herself couldn't help it.
"Roya is your secretary. It's impossible for him to act without your approval. You... let him go to talk to a grand duke alone!?"
Shen Chi's actions have been unusual these days, and Luo Ya did not hide the news that Shen Chi was going to contact the Duke of Stafford. Blind deception would only make people feel divided and lead to disunity, so Rafshini also guessed where he was going.
"You guessed right, I did allow him to do this."
It was winter, but the tea in Abrana's hand did not get cold but gradually became hot. The temperature of the surrounding air was still gradually rising, and the flame at the tip of Ravshini's tail suddenly grew larger.
Her chest ached. Even if she temporarily forgot her fear of this power, it was still not something that the young Rafshini could control at will. The temperature in the room at this moment was hotter than the hot desert in Sargon.
"But that's also because of you, Ravshini. After all, I originally expected you and Roya to go together, but he didn't agree to put you in such a dangerous situation."
This is not an excuse for Abrana to deceive Ravshini. At the beginning, when she didn't know what Roya really wanted to do and simply thought that he really wanted to discuss cooperation with Grand Duke Stafford, Abrana really intended to do so and let Ravshini, who was her substitute, come forward to talk to Roya.
But how could Luo Ya agree to this? Bringing one more person would not only not help him at all, but would only cause more trouble. Of course, Abrana was also worried about what might happen if the two of them were together.
"He..." Ravshini was stunned for a moment, "He really just went to discuss cooperation with the Duke of Stafford, right?"
"Do you need to know?"
Abrana stood up, and the temperature in the air rose to another level. She no longer suppressed her dissatisfaction. Her smile was filled with a hint of anger, and purple flames danced on her tail.
A cup of warm tea was boiled by the temperature of the two sisters. The surrounding tables and chairs all gave off a burnt smell. The purple flame easily suppressed the orange flame.
"My dear sister, for you who are resisting the power and confused about which path to take, what does it matter if you know this question?
"How can you help him? How can you help me? You can't even control your own powers!"
This was probably the first time that Abrana expressed her dissatisfaction so directly, but Ravshini quickly raised her head and confronted Abrana without any loss of momentum.
"So you're going to let him die?"
With an explosion, orange and purple flames broke out and blew the entire building into pieces. The resulting blast wave shattered the glass of all the windows in the entire base except for Rosemary and Xiaoke's rooms. This was all thanks to Kal'tsit who had already used the Sarkaz spell to reinforce the glass.
After seeing Ravshini rushing towards Abbrana's room, she knew that the conflict between the two sisters was inevitable. One was suppressed by her elder sister who was too outstanding and powerful and could not hold her head up for years, while the other envied her younger sister who could live the life she wanted without being immersed in conspiracy and power. Coupled with the conflict of ideas, this day would come sooner or later.
"Kal'tsit, is Ravshine okay?"
Although she was worried about Roya, Ravshini was also an important friend, and Rosemary was very worried that something might happen to her and Abrana after fighting like this.
"No, both she and Roya will be fine."
Eloya would not have failed to realize that there would be a conflict between Abrana and Ravshini after he left, and he probably wanted to take this opportunity to make some changes in the relationship between the two sisters.
Although what Roya was going to do was risky, Kal'tsit was not worried. She even wondered if Roya had really lost his past memories.
There was no way, she knew Luo Ya too well. He was a true all-round genius, good at disguising himself to the point where he could even disguise his own personality. No one... no, only one person could synchronize his thinking patterns with him.
Sighing secretly, Kal'tsit looked at the lost Keobe curled up in the corner. Roya's leaving without saying goodbye was an extremely terrifying thing for her. She had become accustomed to being with Roya, so how could she want to return to the lonely and cold wilderness?
Luo Ya, he is always such a sinful man.
Chapter 57: The Task Given to the Successor
"Interesting. This Secretary Roya is willing to come to my high-speed battleship alone. It seems that he is not only very intelligent, but also very courageous. He even gave us his communication wavelength and said that he is willing to cooperate with me."
After reading the telegram forwarded by the Earl of Oak Forest, the Duke of Stafford thought of Roya, who was only a young man in his twenties. Looking at his incompetent sons and grandsons, Richard, the only one with some promise, was his illegitimate child with a commoner and had no chance of inheriting the family business. He could only sigh that comparison is the thief of frustration.
"He totally ignores you." Richard said with dissatisfaction, "With your status, the red dragon should be present in person, but he only sent a secretary to meet you. This is too arrogant."
"You don't understand, Richard. This means that she is not just a puppet of the Iron Duke or a small leader who claims to be the leader of Tara. She really regards herself as the new monarch of Victoria. How can a monarch personally welcome a minister like me who has bad intentions?"
The aged Grand Duke no longer had the high spirits he once had. He had become calmer and more amiable. If this had happened decades ago, the Duke of Stafford would have scolded Roya for his arrogance and Abrana for her wishful thinking.
He originally thought that Roya was only good at political schemes and had some strange Originium skills, which was why the Iron Duke suffered a loss. He did not expect that this guy had the courage to go to the meeting alone, which reminded him of his youth.
"What do you mean?"
"Since you've shown your sincerity, why not talk about it? He only receives signals at 7 a.m., 1 p.m., and 8 p.m., so let's send a message at noon. The content should only be one sentence."
Leaning against the head of the bed, breathing heavily every time, every move of the Duke of Stafford made the people around him very cautious. No matter whether it was his four sons in their sixties or those grandchildren who were equally not young, they did not dare to let the Duke of Stafford see the greed in their eyes. Only Edward Seymour felt uncomfortable all over, and looked at the door from time to time, wanting to leave.
"The Grand Duke of Stafford welcomes His Royal Highness, Secretary of Deep Pool, Roya, to visit at any time."
Not everyone is qualified to be called His Royal Highness by the Duke of Stafford, but this is normal. Since he can be the envoy of Abrana and dare to board the warship of the Grand Duke of Victoria alone, then Roya is indeed qualified to be treated with courtesy by the Duke of Stafford. His courage alone is enough.
"My subordinates will make arrangements now!"
Richard left, leaving only the legitimate heirs of the Duke of Stafford waiting by his side. They couldn't guess what the Grand Duke was going to do, but that was definitely closely related to the entire Victoria. They all needed to show enough loyalty before he died.
But Edward Seymour did not. He left with Richard without even going to see his grandfather. This made the Duke of Stafford feel very sorry. He could feel that Edward, the most talented grandson, was not pretending but really did not like his position.
“I give you a task, and whoever completes it will inherit my position in the future.
More than a dozen people present all raised their heads, quickly or slowly hiding the panic and greed in their eyes, pretending only to be confused and surprised, but no one wanted to show their loyalty by persuading the Duke of Stafford to retract his idea.
The reason is simple: they neither want to nor dare to say it out loud.
"Guess what the messenger from the Red Dragon wants to do."
This question made everyone present fall into deep thought. Duke Stafford was too lazy to watch their clumsy performance and waved his hand to signal them to leave.
The gate closed again, and there were no more guards on either side of the Duke, but he felt relieved, and then he couldn't help but laugh contemptuously.
“Civilians are civilians.”
"Oh, sometimes it's dangerous to underestimate civilians."
"Yes, after all, the common people are the foundation of the country... but they themselves often don't realize this and are easily instigated and manipulated. They don't even realize that nothing has changed in the twenty years since they lost the king."
The Duke of Stafford closed his eyes and breathed in the warm, dry air. He wanted to get out of bed and have a drink, but that would make it known that something was wrong with him.
"With or without a king, life for Victorians will be no better or worse, but there is no telling what will happen in the future. Wellington's warships are also heading for Oak Grove."
"But he would never have thought that the Shenchi secretary would come to the meeting alone. Hmm, maybe his position in Shenchi is higher than we thought?"
The voice behind the curtain did not answer the Duke of Stafford's question, but snorted coldly instead.
"Who knows."
..............................
"It's really interesting. It seems that this old guy is not yet at the stage of being terminally ill and dying. The momentum and vision accumulated over the years are there. If he wasn't so old, he would be really hard to deal with."
Listening to the signal codes coming from the telegram, Luo Ya translated the corresponding content in his mind while eating instant noodles. The two sides used the Victoria Conventional Military Telegraph Code Book when communicating, and he basically understood it.
The black bow rested lightly on Roya's hand, and the sword that Abrana had temporarily borrowed was placed aside. There were not so many bandits in the wilderness of Victoria that needed to be guarded against, and the beasts were also afraid of the scent of the black bow. Roya could have a good sleep to relieve the fatigue of driving all night.
But he was still waiting, flipping a switch slightly to reverse the frequency, waiting for a new string of codes to come from the other end of the telegram. This time he typed the telegram back almost at the same time as the other party finished sending it, and the whole process took no more than three minutes.
"Then let's make a small bet, Your Excellency the Duke of Stafford."
After muttering to himself, Luo Ya finished the instant noodle soup and threw the box into the bonfire. He climbed into the car and prepared to take a nap. After all, he would be busy soon.
According to Luoya's estimation, his departure would definitely make Xiaoke and Rosemary very anxious. Kal'tsit could calm them down, but Ravshine and Abrana would most likely quarrel or even fight.
Although she wasn't sure why Ravishini liked her, Roya was still happy about the two sisters fighting.
Be it Abrana or Lavishne, if the dissatisfaction between the two sisters is not vented at this moment, they will only become more confrontational in the future, and may even kill each other.
Of course, the sisters' original idea was to give the Tara people a place to live. As long as this did not change, Abrana would not make things too difficult for Ravshini. It was time to let the girl understand that if she wanted to achieve something, she had to give up something.
"I hope I won't be bitten to death by Xiao Ke when I return."
Closing his eyes, Luo Ya fell into a long-awaited good dream.
Chapter 58: Ravshini's Transformation
Ravshini already knew that her power was much weaker than Abrana's. Her elder sister had always been too outstanding, leaving her far behind.
A person who wants to be a king is different from a person who just wants to live by his own little fireplace, but if someone really wants to put out the fire in the fireplace, the latter's anger will not be much worse.
She likes Luoya because he is the only person so far who truly understands her ideas, respects her wishes, encourages her to do things and has expectations for her, but she has been unable to express her love for him.
Now that Rosemary's problem could be solved, Roya's reasons for staying in the Deep Pool had actually changed long ago. Rafshini knew that he did it for her and her sister. Although she didn't know Roya's past, she knew that he must be more sincere to her than the Iron Duke and his ilk.
However, even for such a person as Roya, Abrana actually let him go to a grand duke's warship alone for a meeting, which was almost tantamount to sentencing Roya to death.
"doctor……"
Waking up from a drowsy dream, Ravshini looked at Kal'tsit who was sitting beside the bed. There was no doubt that she had lost to Abrana, and she must look very embarrassed now.
"You need to rest. Although Draco's power is strong, it is also a burden. You can't control your flames well yet."
"You sound like you know us well?"
“I’ve only heard a little bit about it.”
Kal'tsit didn't answer too much, but just wrote down Ravnhee's medical examination report. Abrana obviously still remembered the sisterhood and only taught Ravnhee a lesson briefly. Although the injury looked serious, considering Draco's physical fitness, it was just a free fall from a height of 300 meters.
As for those hideous-looking burns, with Kal'tsit around, not even a scar would be left.
"My sister has been raised with high hopes since she was young. In contrast, what I want and what I want to protect are always too small."
Looking at the wound on her hand and the pain all over her body, Ravshini had to admit that she was too weak. She did not have the strength to protect everything, whether it was her parents or the peaceful and stable life she wanted. Even the person she loved was about to be taken away by Abrana.
“I can’t seem to do anything…”
"Roya came to see me last night."
Kal'tsit put down the work in her hands and looked at Ravnhees confused eyes. This was not the first time she had seen such eyes, it was very similar to herself back then.
"He told me that if he didn't come back within a week, he wanted me to take Rosemary and Ceope away from Victoria. If possible, he wanted me to take you with me. I would ensure your safety."
Her painful limbs could not move for the time being. A flame ignited on Ravshini's tail and then went out. She was silent for a long time, and then a gleam of light flashed in her eyes as if she had made up her mind.
“Doctor.” Ravshine raised her head and looked at Kal’tsit. “Please, please help me… master this power. I know you are not as simple as you seem. You know a lot about Draco. You can definitely help me!”
[If Ravshine has really made up her mind, then Kal'tsit, I'll ask you to help her. I know you have a way. Although I don't like this kind of trust without any basis, I still beg you]
When Roya came in last night, the first thing he talked about was not Rosemary or Ceobe, but the matter between Ravshine and Abrana. He had already guessed that his departure would trigger the conflicts that had been secretly accumulating between these two seemingly peaceful sisters.
And Abrana intentionally showed mercy, only causing Ravnheine to suffer a little. Kal'tsit couldn't help but sigh for Ravnheine in her heart. This girl was still kept in the dark by those two men.
But it was a collision of the power of two Drakes after all. The building where Abrana was and its surroundings were demolished by the explosion and brute force. If Kal'tsit didn't really understand Drake, she would not have been able to see that Abrana showed mercy.
That's what the school officer said. He only knew that Draco was born with great strength, but the strength shown by Ravshini and Abrana was too strong. If Abrana hadn't almost crushed them and the whole battle didn't last too long, then they definitely couldn't stay in this stronghold.
In just three minutes, Abrana and Ravshini destroyed half of the village and accidentally injured many people. Luo Ya hadn't been gone for even a day, but the officer already started to miss him.
If Luoya was still here, the two sisters would never have fought. No matter how low the value of Rafshini was, she was still a red dragon. At least she could not be abandoned now.
When the officer saw Abrana wrapping her tail around the wounded Ravshini's neck and almost strangling her to death, his heart was in his throat. He wished that Roya would come down from the sky to stop the sisters from killing each other.
Fortunately, Kal'tsit appeared in time and stopped Abrana's behavior, otherwise the school officer really couldn't imagine how bad the situation would be. Shen Chi would explode if he left Roya.
(No, I belong to the Iron Duke. Shenchi is not my family.)
The school officer suddenly realized this. He had stayed in the deep pool for too long and almost couldn't figure out which side he was on.
"Your Highness Abrana, the conflict between you and Your Highness Lavishini..."
"It doesn't matter. If she dies so easily, then I overestimated her. You should know who is the leader of the Deep Pool."
"Yes!"
The officer immediately lowered his head. He was not like Roya who could guess what Ablana was thinking right now, but it was probably not going to be very good. The officer suddenly felt that this family really couldn't do without Roya as the manager. Compared to Ablana who was only strong in combat, ambitious and good at scheming, he preferred someone like Roya who was shrewd and calculating but didn't like to use shady tactics.
And in the final analysis, although Abrana is the leader, the people in Deep Pool are generally more willing to obey Roya's arrangements. They clearly feel that although their workload is decreasing, their work efficiency has significantly improved a lot. Abrana's leadership is more symbolic.
The former office is now just a ruin. Abrana looked at the still gorgeous rose in her hand and thought of Little Red Riding Hood selling flowers that day. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She suddenly remembered a fairy tale that had been passed down in Victoria for many years.
Every New Year month, a little girl wearing a red hat selling flowers will appear in the countryside and cities of Victoria. Her flowers will never wither, but they need to be watered with love.
"interesting."
It was not until the school officer left to arrange the disposal of the ruins that Abrana breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to defeat her good sister without killing her.
She was very happy that Lavshini knew how to resist her, but when she thought that this was for Roya, she really wanted to kill her.
No matter what, at least after this time, Ravshini should understand that blindly tolerating and escaping will not protect the things she cherishes. No matter what path she takes from now on, it will not be worse than becoming her own shadow.
