Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Rafshini glanced at the documents on her bedside. These days, she had experienced the intensity of Roya's work and understood how outrageous Roya's work efficiency was.

"Then learn slowly. You don't lack this little time."

"But Roya, I want you to help me, leave with me."

The hand that was writing suddenly stopped, and Luo Ya looked at Lavshini with a strange and puzzled expression, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Are you serious?"

"Sister...I don't want to see you doing those dangerous tasks again. Sister is not worth it."

(Oh no, has this girl realized that her sister and I are having an affair? I really can’t guess.)

Before she is sure whether she will have another life, whether she will remember what is happening now and whether she can come back here, it is impossible for Roya and Abrana's relationship to be made public. That would be disadvantageous to her in all aspects.

"Who told you that I did these things for Lovebrana?"

Xiao Ke estimated that it might take him ten years to finish the topics he had written. Luo Ya closed his notebook and prepared to write a few fairy tales by hand, but his typewriter was confiscated by Kal'tsit.

"What's that for?"

"Of course it's for you, Xiao Ke and Rosemary."

While preparing to write another article "Mermaid in the Deep Sea" to tell the adventure story of the little mermaid defeating Cthulhu with the help of Aquaman, Roya suddenly felt that the way Ravishne looked at her had changed, and became very much like Abbrana.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"... Roya." Ravshini's face was very red. Roya's words just now made her heart beat faster. "Can we date?"

It was too difficult for Ravshini to say the word "I like you" now. Just dating her had exhausted all her energy. Luo Ya was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"This is inappropriate. I'm worried that your sister will kill me."

"The person you're dating is me, not my sister. What does it have to do with her?"

"I can't say. Anyway, I think you should just pretend you never said it. Otherwise, if your sister finds out, she will break my hands and feet and lock me in a small dark room."

Luo Ya was almost sweating profusely. He really couldn't say this. Abrana knew that Ravshini liked him and accepted it were two different things.

If Abrana came back and found out that her good sister had stolen her home, Roya didn't know what would happen to Ravshini, but he himself... would probably be roasted to a crisp.

"Then I'll protect you!"

"But you can't beat your sister."

This is a fact that no one can refute. Ravshini scratched her head, not knowing how to respond, and Luo Ya sighed helplessly.

"Don't be obsessed with me, Ravshini. You should find someone who can truly accompany you for the rest of your life, and that person is definitely not me."

Luo Ya was writing a new story and didn't look at Lavshini's expression. He didn't expect that he would be liked by so many people, but he knew that he shouldn't have any emotional entanglement with others.

If it weren't for Abbrana's domineering attitude that didn't even let him spend the little time he had, it would have been impossible for them to be together.

Now that you have Abrana, don't let the others down.

Chapter 74: The Attitude of the Dukes

Accepting the allegiance of a grand duke is more boring than imagined, even if the other party is completely loyal to her. Looking at Wesley kneeling on one knee in front of her, Abrana couldn't help but sigh that it was really a ridiculous farce.

So much blood was shed in the conspiracy, but in the end it was this former grey hat who won the first prize. If the incident itself had not been so dramatic, Abrana would have suspected that the Duke of Castor sent this guy on purpose.

"Stand up. I have indeed accepted your loyalty. From now on, you are my subject. You must abide by your duties."

"Yes, everything is as you wish!"

It can be seen that old Stafford has been tutoring Wesley a lot these days. As a grey hat, he learns things very quickly. His temperament and etiquette are almost the same as those of a great nobleman.

"Shenchi is temporarily unable to show up. Please help Shenchi grow and develop. At the same time, contact the noble council and the military. We need to have a good talk."

Sitting in the former Duke of Stafford's seat, Abramana turned back into the arbitrary and self-centered monarch she had long ago. Her unpredictable half-smile, unshakable temperament, and the sense of fear that Roya had previously created made her exert an almost absolute oppressive force on everyone here.

"what do you mean?"

"Victoria is the country of the Victorians and the Tara people after all. How can they tolerate the Sarkaz getting involved?"

Her fingers tapped lightly on the staff, and Abrana's murderous intent blended into the air, raising the temperature around her to that of a furnace. She swore that she would make the woman named Salus burn to death in the flames. Anyone who dared to seduce her would be punished with death.

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

This self-proclaimed title undoubtedly represents that Abrana now has absolute command over all the forces of the Duke of Stafford. It is different from the alliance with the Iron Duke, but a true loyalty.

"I will write to the other Grand Dukes later. Roya is a bit busy at the moment, so you can handle it yourself."

Hearing that he didn't need to meet Luo Ya, Wesley felt a lot more relaxed. He was really afraid that Luo Ya would call him and take him away.

But on the other hand, he was very grateful to Roya. He first joined the army and then joined the Grey Hat for power, status and wealth. Now that he has become the heir to the Grand Duke, these are within his reach.

With enough benefits and fear of Roya, Wesley's loyalty to Deep Pool is much stronger than that of the Iron Duke. Coupled with the rich foundation of the Stafford family, Deep Pool has unexpectedly become the third largest force in Victoria today.

Apart from the Iron Duke in the first place and the military in the second place, there is really nothing to be afraid of in Deep Pool. However, this is something that only Roya can do. He is the first person in Victoria's thousands of years who dares to board a ship alone to assassinate the Grand Duke, and he may also be the last person.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"We have prepared vehicles and escorts for you. The intelligence department has just received news that Gastriel seems to be continuing his journey towards Oak Forest County."

Wesley knew that he reported the news a little late, so he chose to express his opinion without waiting for Abrana to say anything.

"Do we need to intercept the Iron Duke?"

"Do you have a chance of winning?"

"Not really, but we will only be where you need us to be."

If a soldier needs to rely on the odds of winning to decide whether to fight, then he is not a qualified soldier, because there are some wars in this world that have to be fought even though one knows that they will fail.

Wesley's answer satisfied Abrana. She wanted to sigh that old Stafford had educated the former gray hat very well. He knew when to advance and when to retreat, and his words were not annoying. Most importantly, he knew himself well.

Unlike a certain chief secretary who knew how to make things difficult for her boss all day long, and... oh yes, she took the initiative. Luo Ya was not happy about it, but the more unhappy he was and the more he resisted, the happier Abrana was.

From the initial reluctance, struggle and resistance, to the later begging for mercy, and finally letting his life be manipulated as if it were his own, Tsk tsk, Abrana discovered that this method was actually needed to conquer Roya.

No, I had the wrong idea when I mentioned Roya. The most urgent thing now is what's going on with the Iron Duke.

"Use your status to greet the Iron Duke. After all, you are both my subjects."

Currently, Shenchi and the Iron Duke have not really torn their relations apart. This incident may have caused the Iron Duke's attitude to change. Abrana estimated that the old duke had already sent a letter to Shenchi, but she didn't know whether it was for herself or Roya.

"Yes, as you wish."

Wesley was not afraid of the title of Iron Duke at all, because he had already met Roya, and he did not think that the Iron Duke would be much more terrifying than Roya. After all, no matter how powerful and majestic the Iron Duke was, he could not be a madman like Roya who could be equated with death.

Even if the Stanford collided with the Gastriel, Wesley felt that it was better than seeing Roya standing in front of him.

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

"This old guy, I thought he would fly into a rage and drive a high-speed battleship over my head."

Luo Ya looked at the telegram in his hand and said something that made the school officer sweat profusely. Even Abrana didn't dare to treat the Iron Duke like this. Luo Ya really didn't give him any face at all.

The content of this letter was very simple. It was nothing more than greetings to Roya and praising his behavior on the Stanford. This should be a sincere compliment. It was not difficult for the Iron Duke to guess what Roya's original purpose was. He just didn't expect Roya to succeed.

Secondly, he expressed that there might be misunderstandings between himself and Shen Chi, and hoped that they could be clarified in person to avoid unnecessary losses, and expressed his wish to meet Luo Ya in person.

"Do you need a reply?"

"Just tell me that I already know about it and thank him for his concern, but I have another mission and need to leave in a while. Your Highness Abrana knows that Lord Wellington is loyal and will not do anything to betray him."

Although they currently have the support of the Duke of Stafford, there is no need to rush to break up with the Iron Duke before Abrana contacts the Victorian military and gains a foothold. After all, he is the most powerful Grand Duke in Victoria. He once commanded a thousand-mile front in the Four-Nation War and destroyed the once most powerful empire.

Whether to enemies or allies, he is always like a hungry beast waiting to tear apart and drink blood. Cooperating with him is like working with a wolf.

"You really don't want to meet with His Excellency the Duke?"

"Do you think he really wants to see me?"

Luo Ya sneered, which made the officer feel a little uneasy. Yes, how could it be possible? No grand duke wanted to meet Luo Ya, especially after this incident.

All they think about is how to get rid of this sharp knife that is hard to guard against and may pierce their hearts at any time.

Chapter 75: Xiao Ke's Decision

"Finally it's finished."

It was late at night. Luo Ya put down his pen and took out a bottle of painkillers from the bedside. It felt really bad to be unable to get out of bed, but the pain from the headache made him even more uncomfortable.

As his remaining lifespan decreased, he could feel his strength growing stronger, but the price was that his brain felt like it was about to explode every day, as if someone was constantly pumping air into it.

"It was the same last time. Could it be that this power is the reason why my life is short?"

Luo Ya grabbed a handful of painkillers and put them into his mouth, then swallowed them with half a glass of water. Although Longmen's memories had not yet recovered, he still remembered that he was in the same situation at that time. At the beginning, he showed no symptoms, but as time went on, his brain became more and more painful, and he even needed a lot of drugs to barely resist it.

But the situation this time seemed to be more serious in every way. Luo Ya closed the notebook for Xiao Ke and the fairy tale manuscript he wrote for Rosemary, and thought about what to do next for Shen Chi.

Ravushini has fallen asleep, which is quite funny. Because the tail is so big, neither Ravushini nor Abrana can sleep lying down properly, so Ravushini is used to sleeping on her stomach most of the time, and the horns on her head always prick the pillow.

As her elder sister, Abrana Roya has never seen how she sleeps, but Abrana herself said that she can fall asleep while standing. Sometimes she would envy Roya for not having any racial characteristics.

"This tail is really big."

Sometimes, Luo Ya also envied Abrana for having horns, a tail and the ability to control fire, but unfortunately he was just a time traveler and did not have such magical powers.

But after saying this, Roya suddenly remembered what the sound was that sounded in his head after he touched Salus' blood and... uh, Abrana's. Tsk, his head was hurting so much at that time that he didn't remember it at all.

Kal'tsit and the others were probably asleep by now, so Luo Ya simply rolled out of bed. New Year's Day was in a week, and he needed to pack these two gifts, and also think about what would be the best gifts for Abrana and Ravshine.

This year, the first snow in Victoria came later than usual, so Roya still had some time. He was thinking about whether the gift should be memorable enough, so he knitted a scarf for Ravshini, and a ring might be too tacky for Abbrana, so he decided to write something useful for her.

"I remember I bought some wool to prepare a winter sweater for Xiao Ke. It should be in the storage room."

Arriving at the corridor, Luo Ya suddenly stopped at the door of his room. After hesitating for a while, he carefully pushed the door open to see if the two girls were asleep. He happened to see Keobe's dog head looking over here.

"Roya~"

Xiao Ke lowered his voice because Rosemary had fallen asleep, otherwise she would have broken through the door and fallen on Luoya.

"You're not sleeping yet, are you hungry?"

"No, well... Xiao Ke can't sleep without Luo Ya around."

"Me too, it's really hard to sleep without Xiao Ke around."

Carefully opening the door to let Xiao Ke out and then closing the door, Luo Ya reached out and rubbed Xiao Ke's head a few times. In order to let him have a good rest these days, the two girls didn't come to disturb him. At most, they came to chat with him during meals. With Xiao Ke's personality, he was almost suffocated.

"Come on, come with me to the storage room to get something."

"Is there anything to eat?"

"Of course, but didn't you just say you weren't hungry?"

"When I see Luo Ya Xiaoke, I think of food, hehe."

Scratching his head shyly, Xiao Ke simply hugged Luo Ya's waist and pointed at his head.

"Hmm~ Luoya, has Xiaoke become smarter?"

"Much smarter than when we first met."

Luo Ya said this not simply to make Xiao Ke happy. From the silly little girl who did everything based on instinct at the beginning to the Xiao Ke who now understands how to be considerate of others and learns to think, her progress is indeed obvious. At least she can recite the multiplication table backwards.

This made Luo Yazhen sigh with emotion. Even dogs can recite the multiplication table. When he left prison, some of his cellmates didn't even want to learn addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers.

"Then can Xiao Ke also learn from the good guy?"

The good guy that Xiao Ke mentioned always refers to Kal'tsit. In her not-so-big worldview, people are generally divided into three types: Roya, good guys, and bad guys.

Hearing that Xiao Ke actually wanted to study medicine with Kal'tsit, Luo Ya first felt that this girl who only thought about eating and collecting weapons actually had such a great ambition, and then he immediately realized what the girl was talking about.

"Listen to me, Xiao Ke. There is a saying in my hometown: 'It is better to be struck by lightning than to study medicine.' You are not suitable for this line of work."

What a joke, letting Xiao Ke study medicine? Others become doctors to save lives, but she becomes a doctor to deliver results to the crematorium.

However, it is not difficult to guess why Xiao Ke, who has a headache even doing arithmetic, wants to study medicine with Kal'tsit. Her world is so small that everything she owns is so precious, and Roya is the most special one among them.

Luo Ya didn't want to dampen Xiao Ke's enthusiasm by pointing out her thoughts for the time being, so he just led her towards the storage room.

"Why did Roya go to the storage room?"

"I plan to knit a scarf for Ravshini as a gift."

"Xiao Ke also wants a gift!"

Rather than wanting a gift, it's more like she simply wants something from Luoya. Even a lollipop can make Xiao Ke happy for a long time. Thinking about it this way, she is actually very easy to please, but difficult to raise because she eats too much.

"Heh, how about I give you a math book?"
