Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

When the elegant unicorn girl mentioned Roya, there was a complicated look in her eyes, and she felt a bit headache.

"Now that the Duke of Stafford is under his control, Deep Pool will surely accelerate its development after being freed from Wellington's control. Who would have thought that someone would dare to assassinate the Grand Duke? Add to that the Red Dragon's ambition... maybe it will grow into an unimaginable monster. It's really tricky."

"But you don't look angry."

The girl in front of him was someone that even Caister had to respect. She knew that in her eyes, there was not much difference between her and the Duke of Stafford. Her true face was hidden under her casual appearance, and no one knew it.

"Why are you angry? Just because I lost the power of a Grand Duke?"

The one-horned girl's smile was gentle but with a hint of disdain, as if the Grand Duke who could call the shots in Victoria was just a chess piece that could be discarded at will in her eyes, and she abandoned old Stafford in the same way.

"I admit that everything on the Faustin is out of my control, but so what? The balance of Victoria has changed, hasn't it? This is my goal."

The new Grand Duke's coming to power will secretly change Victoria's situation. Roya's behavior of maintaining balance does not go against the wishes of the one-horned girl, and it can even be said to be the same as what she thinks.

Deep Pool needs enough time to develop and grow stronger, and Abrana also needs time to integrate the Duke of Stafford's power. Therefore, Roya needs to ensure that Victoria does not become chaotic for the time being. Caster also needs to consider winning over more forces, and the Iron Duke needs to adjust his plan.

No one wants Victoria to cause trouble, so they tacitly agree not to cause trouble at this time.

"But the Duke of Cavendish seems to be a little restless."

Caister was talking about the presence of Sarkaz in this incident. It was not difficult for her to guess that Cavendish and the Sarkaz were secretly colluding, but the problem was that these Sarkaz were still fighting a civil war among themselves, so why would they think of intervening in Victoria?

"It seems like he can't wait to sit on the throne. Sigh, I don't know why anyone would like to have such a big crown on his head. It's so depressing.

"But since Roya knows about this, he must have figured out how to deal with Cavendish."

It was a sign of pride to be able to be addressed by the person in front of him by his name, which made Kaister even more curious about the secretary of Shenchi whom he had never met before. He had previously sent the gray hat Naris to invite him as a guest, but he ended up being kept by him and becoming the Grand Duke. The key point was that Roya had calculated that no one dared to question Wesley's identity.

If anyone dares to say that the current Wesley is not the Duke of Stafford's biological son, the grand dukes will definitely refute it first and then try their best to play Candy Crush with his entire family, because once the fact that Wesley is not the legitimate heir is revealed, Victoria will usher in a major reshuffle, which will not benefit anyone.

"The red dragon might be more capable than I thought, as it has made Mr. Roya willing to take the risk of assassinating the Grand Duke."

This sentence brought Kaister back to her senses instantly. Knowing the identity of the girl in front of her, she immediately understood what this meant.

"what do you mean……"

The girl did not answer her directly, but just ate the cake by herself.

"You still like to daydream, just like your great-grandmother."

"Don't dare."

Caister slowly lowered her head, but she knew that this meant that Roya had won a ticket for Abrana to ascend the throne, and now it all depended on Abrana's performance.

Luo Ya...why can't I use such a talent for my own benefit? I need to think of a way.

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

At the other end of the deep pool, the officer, who had confirmed the intelligence again and again, covered his head and couldn't believe what he knew.

I thought Roya was going to negotiate with the Duke of Stafford, but I didn't expect that guy was going to assassinate him. He was a powerful Duke, how dare he do that! ?

"It looks like the mission was accomplished well."

Abrana's fingertips ignited a flame and burned the telegram, her eyes fixed on the line "Roya's whereabouts are unknown after leaving the ship". She guessed that Roya was probably overdrawn and recuperating somewhere, but she had never thought of this result, and it was related to the Sarkaz.

I thought things would be easier if Roya and Edward worked together, but it ended in such a ridiculous way.

"I have to leave for a while. I will leave the work to Ravshini during this period."

"Without some guards?"

"That's not necessary."

Abrana tapped her fingers on the table. She had wanted to go with Roya, but the risk was too great and it might have made the Iron Duke completely furious and flip the table over. But now she regretted not going with Roya.

"I understand. I will prepare everything for you. Do you need to ask Princess Lavshini to accept the loyalty of the Duke of Stafford?"

The officer knew very well that Abrana was simply planning to find the whereabouts of the seriously injured Roya. This was in line with common sense. Otherwise, if Roya could really assassinate the Grand Duke and escape unscathed, it would be too much.

"No need, I'll take care of it on the way."

The Red Dragon's Royal Sword is the heirloom of the Deep Pool Clan. Apart from Rafshini, the only thing she took away was the sword. However, if it was so precious, she would not have given it to Roya.

Now that Luo Ya has proven his worth, even if the relationship between them is still unspeakable, it is her turn to prove her sincerity.

Now the colonel knew that Roya and Abrana were really having an affair, but it was not made public. Otherwise, what Abrana should have done was to accept the loyalty from the Duke of New Stafford first, and then go to Roya. In fact, this was also something Roya and she had arranged long ago, but Abrana did not intend to do everything according to what Roya said.

"Then I'll send someone to look for him."

"No need, I know where he is."

From the very beginning, Roya had prepared for the worst. He knew that he would not be able to escape unscathed, so he made various preparations in advance, such as agreeing with Abrana where to meet at that time.

With her eyes closed, thinking about the future, Abrana was not in a hurry to completely turn against the Iron Duke. From the attitude of the officer, it could be seen that the Iron Duke must have considered the interests clearly. The Gastril battleship also stopped. In the future, the Iron Duke would probably reconsider their relationship.

These changes happened silently and few people noticed them. Only Shenchi was the biggest winner.

"How should I reward you...Roya."

There were mixed emotions in Abrana's eyes. She felt anxious for the first time. Roya was really a man that was difficult to control.

Chapter 68: An acquaintance of an acquaintance

"Is that so? I understand... You can bring the documents here starting tomorrow and I'll take care of them."

Considering that her injuries had not yet recovered, it was not impossible to handle official business in the ward. This time, Lavshini did not resist or refuse, and accepted her task calmly.

"It seems my sister is going to accept the allegiance of yet another Grand Duke."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lavishini's tone when she said this, which surprised the school officer, but he didn't dare to say anything. He found that his status in Shenchi had plummeted since Luo Ya came. In the past, he was only the second in command.

After the school officer left, Lavshini closed her eyes and lay on the bed. She was still very worried about Luo Ya's condition. If his injury hadn't healed, she would have gone out to look for him.

[You are a good girl. There are not many lovely girls like you.]

[He didn't agree to put you in such a dangerous situation]

Abbrana's words kept lingering in Ravshini's mind, making her unable to sleep. Roya did all this to protect her, but she couldn't help him at all.

Without power, she can't do anything, not even protect the people she loves. She has already lost her family once, and she can't let that happen again. She has to protect Roya and bring Abrana back from that twisted path.

"I'll go check next door first."

Kal'tsit knew that she should let Ravnice think carefully about this. If she could understand Roya and Abrana's purpose, then she could truly grow. Now it was just a reason to stop escaping, which was far from enough.

Before that, she still had to comfort Rosemary and Xiaoke. She didn't expect that the two would eavesdrop outside the door. She hoped that they would be in a better mood now.

Leaving Lavishne alone to think, Kal'tsit went to Roya's room and gently opened the door.

Rosemary sat on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking about, while Xiaoke sat in the corner, cleaning his weapon. Both of them had their ears drooped, probably wondering where Roya might be right now.

"Ah, good fellow!"

Seeing Kal'tsit appear, Xiao Ke hurriedly ran to her with all his weapons.

"What are you doing?"

"Xiao Ke, I'll give you all these weapons. Can you please heal Luo Ya?"

These weapons were Xiaoke's few treasures and the only things that could be considered her property. Kal'tsit knew that she valued these weapons very much, so Roya even found her a weapon rack and taught her how to maintain them.

“These things are important to you.”

"Roya is the most important!"

Xiao Ke nodded affirmatively, she really liked these weapons, but she could still go find other weapons if they were gone, but she would never be able to find Luoya again if she lost him.

"I'm sorry, I can't treat a healthy person." Kal'tsit pushed the weapons back. "Roya's problem is not any disease or terminal illness, but a price."

"cost?"

Rosemary's ears perked up, and she looked at Kal'tsit with a little confusion, but she didn't answer, or Kal'tsit herself didn't know the answer. She only remembered that Roya said this was the price, but she didn't know whether it was the price of his ability or the price of gaining another kind of immortality.

Perhaps only Luo Ya himself knows the answer to this question, but no one knows where he is now.

After getting this answer, Xiao Ke lowered his head in disappointment, returned to the corner with his weapon, hugged his legs, buried his head, and wondered what he was thinking about.

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

"Hey Roya, are you an Agor? I heard that Agors don't have tails or animal ears."

"Maybe I am. I don't know what I am."

Feeling that his injuries had recovered a lot and he could at least walk, Luo Ya took a bite of biscuit and drank a sip of water, intending to fill his stomach and set off to the meeting place he had agreed with Abrana.

"You don't know what you are. Didn't your family tell you?"

"I'm an orphan and I've never seen them."

"..." Bagpipe was silenced for a moment. He lowered his head and wanted to apologize but didn't know what to say.

The heirloom of Abrana was still not found, nor was it in the river. With the help of the bagpipes and the horn, Roya could only accept the fact that he might be roasted on the fire in the physical sense when he returned.

"Don't take it to heart. I don't really care about this kind of thing."

"I'm sorry, I can't control my mouth. I made Chen Chen unhappy because of this before."

"Chen-Chen doesn't sound like a Victorian name."

Luo Ya patted his head. The last name Chen vaguely attracted his attention. Feng Di seemed to think that he had successfully diverted attention and nodded quickly.

"Yeah, Chen Chen came to Victoria to study abroad. We were roommates at that time. She had good grades and I would go to her for help if I had any questions. She was from Dayan, and I heard that people from Dayan are very good at studying.

"But I haven't seen Chen Chen for a long time. I'll take a leave and go to Longmen to see her. I heard that she has become a superintendent of something, and I'm just an ordinary soldier... Hey, Luo Ya, why do you look so unhappy?"

Longmen, a female police superintendent named Chen, an international student from Victoria, these descriptions put together were like a needle piercing Luo Ya's brain, and he almost blurted out the name - Chen Huijie.

How could there be such a wonderful fate in this world? Even though she died once and left Longmen, she could still meet someone who was related to her.

"Roya, are you okay?"

"Nothing, just a recurrence of an old injury."

Without time to sort out the chaotic memories in his mind, Luo Ya hurriedly explained so as not to be noticed that there was something wrong, but in fact he had accelerated his body's recovery, at the cost of three days of life.

It's not that I can't wait, but I'm worried that if I don't get in touch with Shen Chi for too long, it will make them overly worried, especially Xiao Ke and Rosemary. If they don't see each other for three days, they might tear the entire Shen Chi apart.

"You are really lucky. You fell into the river with your head facing up, and you met me and the captain."

"I will repay you for this favor in the future."

Luo Ya patted his stomach gently. It would be better not to use his ability unless necessary. His eyes could no longer see any colors, so it was hard to say what would happen next. He would see if he could ask Kal'tsit to check.

But before that he had to find a way to leave. Bagpipe was a good girl, but Horn was cautious. She didn't believe that Roya was just a noble knight passing by.

However, Luo Ya disguised himself very well and did not reveal any flaws from beginning to end. Horn did not think that his injuries could pose much of a threat.

"We're going to sleep in the forest tonight. Is that okay?"

"Of course, I have slept in the wasteland as well."

Luo Ya took the spare sleeping bag and couldn't help but think of the time when he and Xiao Ke were wandering in the wilderness. He always felt that that period was more relaxing, but he didn't want Xiao Ke to wander in the wilderness forever and live a life with the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed.

"Then good night, both of you, and sweet dreams."

Words carried the power of command, and the ordinary good night greeting caught the bagpipes and horns off guard. They felt sleepiness well up in their hearts, closed their eyes, and fell down.

Luo Ya quickly caught the two of them and carefully placed them on the sleeping bags.

After taking some dry food in exchange for some information about the Sarkaz's intention to get involved in Victoria, Luo Ya glanced at the two sleeping girls and wondered if Xiao Ke and Rosemary would be like this when they grow up, one silly and the other indifferent, complementing each other.

Unfortunately, he didn't know if he would be able to see them grow up.

Chapter 69: Just thinking about digging my own grave

As the sky gradually brightened, when Horn and Bagpipe woke up, Roya had already left. They checked and found that Roya had not taken anything with him except some dry food, and he also left a note.

[Sorry, we are going in different directions, so I will leave first. I will return this favor to you later. In exchange for dry food, I can tell you that the two Sarkaz I met may be secretly colluding with a certain Grand Duke. They are members of the Royal Court.]

[The Sarkaz civil war will not last too long. With the new Duke of Stafford taking office, the situation in Victoria will also change significantly. I hope you can inform the military of this news. Goodbye.]

"...As expected, he is not a so-called noble knight. He is probably a spy."

"But he shouldn't be a bad person." Bagpipe looked at the blanket on himself, "He left without doing anything, and didn't hurt us."

Roya's ability was indeed hard to guard against, but fortunately he did not do anything bad and left behind this bombshell news, which made Horn very curious about Roya's identity. She even suspected that Roya might be an intelligence agent of a certain Grand Duke.

The Sarkaz are in collusion with the Grand Duke. Even if this information is false, it cannot be ignored. However, if he reports it... Horn feels that it will either fall on deaf ears or he might run into some very tricky troubles.

"Come to think of it, I wanted to ask you yesterday. I feel like I've heard of the name Roya somewhere."

The name Luo Ya sounded very familiar to Fengdi, but she just couldn't remember it for a while. It was like many people felt that they had never heard of "Lady Shexiang", but as soon as the sentence "Wumeng Mountain is connected to mountains beyond mountains" came out, their mouths could come up with the next sentence faster than their brains.
