Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

"Ugh, Xiao Ke doesn't want this!"

The only problem that doesn't work is the math problem. Xiao Ke would never ask for this, and this certainly wouldn't be the gift Luo Ya wants to give her.

"Then what do you want?"

"Well, Xiao Ke wants to be with Luo Ya forever, no matter where we go!"

After all, she was still too naive to hide her thoughts, but Xiao Ke didn't want to tell Luo Ya that she only had a few months left. The worry in her eyes made Luo Ya reach out and pinch her chubby face. He still remembered that when they first met, this silly girl had a handful of grass roots in her pocket, which was her food reserve.

"Xiao Ke, isn't it great to have enough food to eat and a warm place to live now?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ke nodded, "There are delicious food, a soft bed to sleep on, and new clothes. It's much better than before!"

This is of course. Luo Ya can imagine how difficult Xiao Ke's life was in the past, which makes her easily satisfied. Her current life must be the best.

"But the best part was being in the wilderness with Roya."

"why?"

"Because Luoya loved to laugh more back then than now. Luoya, you haven't laughed for a long time."

Opening the door of the storage room, Luo Ya touched his face. It seemed to be true. The month he traveled with Xiao Ke in the wilderness was the most relaxing time for him. He didn't need to intrigue with the grand dukes, worry about the future development of Shenchi, or restrain Abrana's ambitions and desires.

Xiao Ke was about to say something until Luo Ya patted her shoulder gently.

"It's a little dark. Xiao Ke, can you help me find the red and gold balls of yarn?"

Glancing at the bright light above his head, Xiao Ke suddenly realized something. He stopped asking Luo Ya and just took out two balls of black wool and handed them to him.

"Two balls of yarn may not be enough. Take another one."

In Luo Ya's eyes, the world only had three simple colors: black, white and gray, so he couldn't tell the color of the ball of wool. Fortunately, he brought Xiao Ke with him.

"Luo Ya..." Xiao Ke opened his mouth, but finally hugged him, "Luo Ya, Xiao Ke, wu..."

Luo Ya didn't understand why Xiao Ke was crying, so he hugged her and rubbed her gently. He actually didn't like to coax people.

"Just this once, feel free to cry."

Buried in Luoya's chest, Xiao Ke's sobs echoed in the narrow storage room. That's why she made up her mind: she would make Luoya get better, no matter what the cost.

Chapter 76: Abbrana's Transformation

"Really? Abrana is planning to call a Grand Duke meeting. Then let's hold it."

The wooden stick needle in Luoya's hand kept weaving the threads together. Today, Lilafshini, who had recovered from her injury, had officially taken over Abrana's work in the deep pool.

Ravshini also wanted to find a way to cure Roya, but it couldn't be too obvious. If people knew that Roya only had a few months left to live, it would definitely not be a good thing for Shen Chi.

“Do you think this meeting could change anything?”

At this point, the officer lowered his posture completely in front of Roya. He felt that he was not as good as Roya, and in his heart he had already placed the other party on the same level as Aburana.

Aburana's authority and appeal, and Roya's execution and deterrence, the two constitute the core of Shenchi today. Many people who have never seen Roya also know what kind of ability this Shenchi secretary has, and Roya's notoriety has also spread.

There were too many witnesses to everything that happened on the Stanford. Shen Chi, who survived and made the most profit, would inevitably become the object of suspicion. Luo Ya was also deservedly rumored to be the mastermind of all this conspiracy.

Luo Ya didn't care at all about being considered the mastermind, because he was the one behind it, and it wasn't a misunderstanding at all.

“Balance is relative, change is absolute. Now that the Duke of Stafford has joined us, it’s a reshuffle for Victoria. The existing balance is still a little unstable, and it is indeed necessary to talk to the grand dukes.

"But Abrana is indeed a little anxious. I was thinking of going to talk to the Grand Dukes in person."

(You want to negotiate? Which Grand Duke would dare to negotiate with you?)

The school officer couldn't help but complain in his heart. What Luo Ya did not long ago was enough for all the grand dukes to put him on the blacklist. He was still negotiating? Who would believe that this guy was going to negotiate? I'm afraid he would put a sword on someone's neck and force him to sign.

"Trivia game, which of these two balls of yarn is gold?"

"The one on your right."

Although he didn't understand why Roya asked such a boring question, the officer still answered it honestly. After all, Roya's thoughts were harder to guess than Abrana's. If the Iron Duke didn't intend to turn against Shenchi, he, the officer, would naturally stay here.

"According to our original plan, everyone needs some time to develop themselves, so no one will easily disrupt the existing situation. Even I don't want to make a big fuss."

(You dared to assassinate the Grand Duke and you still say you don’t want to make a big fuss?)

The school officer, who had completely transformed into a complainer, didn't know what to say to Roya. What on earth did this man think of the Grand Dukes of Victoria?

"But now the Sarkaz are planning to disrupt the situation, and they may even have reached a cooperation with a certain Grand Duke. It's hard not to be suspicious. Hmm... Is Abrana back?"

"It will arrive today."

"Well, go and arrange for the kitchen to make something delicious. She likes sweet and sour. How is the Candle Shadow Unit training going?"

Taking a look at the ball of yarn in his hand and sketching out the rough shape of the scarf in his mind, Luo Ya could only sigh that it was really troublesome. Now all the yarns were gray and black in his eyes, and there was no difference at all. It would be embarrassing if he knitted it ugly.

"Very good, I have basically mastered all the skills."

"Then let them leave Victoria temporarily and live in other countries for a while, whether doing business or being mercenaries, or marrying and having children, so that they don't look so much like spies."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

While waiting for the officer to leave, Luo Ya continued to knit a scarf. She had already prepared gifts for everyone else, except for Ravshini. Fortunately, she was not there, otherwise it would not be a surprise.

"Come in, no need to knock."

The tightly closed door was gently pushed open, Kal'tsit came into the room and locked the door.

"Rafushini is busy, Abrana hasn't come back yet, Xiao Ke and Rosemary won't disturb me from resting, and the school officer just left, there's no need to go to this extent."

"Can your eyes still distinguish colors?"

"You are a little too sensitive."

Luo Ya sighed helplessly, but the fact that he arranged these balls of yarn in a certain order had already exposed certain problems. Kal'tsit just knew him too well.

"This time it's visual. You've overdrawn yourself."

"It didn't have to be so troublesome. Salus and the shapeshifters are difficult to deal with. Edward's betrayal was not beyond my expectations."

"You are not in good condition now. Come back to Kazdel with me."

This is the ultimate purpose of Kal'tsit's trip. She wants to bring Roya back. Although it is impossible to find the secret of Roya and solve the problems he faces with Babel's current technology, Kal'tsit still feels it is necessary for him to meet another person.

"How is Rosemary doing?"

"It's fairly stable. The device in her brain is a semi-finished product, not a failed one. She needs additional devices to assist her. Using her strength alone would be a huge burden."

"Well...how much do you know about Xiao Ke?"

"Theresa is stronger than the Lord of the Wilderness. I will help you investigate her background."

Long before she became the Demon King, Theresa, as one of the six heroes of Sarkaz, already possessed impressive combat capabilities. Now that she has inherited the position and power of the Demon King of Sarkaz, she is definitely better than the Lord of the Wilderness.

"Then let's wait a little longer. Can we leave after the New Year?"

After this incident, Shen Chi's chief secretary Luo Ya had to retreat behind the scenes and become a person that no one wanted to dream of. If he was too active, people would find out his flaws.

"can."

It's only a week, and Kal'tsit still has this much time. She has already found time to contact the Tower of Babel. Although Tracy's faction has intensified their actions, the Doctor has basically blocked them all.

This should have been a good thing, but Kal'tsit couldn't be happy because she knew that the Doctor's condition was getting worse and worse, and she hoped that meeting Roya would make both of them feel better.

"By the way, Kal'tsit, can you imitate handwriting?"

Luo Ya put down the ball of yarn in his hand and suddenly asked such a strange question. He looked out the window and knew that Abrana would probably be back soon.

………………

"Your Highness Abrana, we will be there soon."

"Ah."

Sitting in the back seat, rubbing her chin with her hand, she realized for the first time that there was a place in her heart that she would miss very much if she left it. Even her destroyed home did not give her such a feeling.

After all, her parents wanted a leader who could revive their bloodline, Earl Warwick wanted only a puppet with a crown, and the Iron Duke just wanted to use her.

Only Roya did not indulge in all of Abbrana's ideas, but understood her difficulties, sympathized with her problems, and supported her dreams and ambitions.

This made her realize for the first time that there were people waiting for her when she returned, not expecting her triumphant return, victory or anything else, but simply hoping that she would be safe.

Is there anything better than this?

Chapter 77: Sisters’ Confrontation

He did not go to see the school officer, nor did he go to see Lavishini or announce the good news of the alliance with the Duke of Stafford to everyone in Shenchi. Instead, he went directly to the ward where Roya was recuperating.

Unexpectedly, there was no smell of disinfectant in Roya's ward. Instead, there were several dishes that Abbrana liked on the small table on the bed where she worked and wrote. Roya was leaning against the head of the bed, knitting a scarf, without even raising her head.

"Welcome back, come and have dinner."

As if he had expected that Abrana would come to him first, Roya simply pointed to the chair next to his bed.

She turned around and motioned for everyone else to leave, then she closed the door and locked it. Abrana sat at the end of the bed, picked up her knife and fork, and enjoyed the only good meal she had had in the past few days. Before, she was busy traveling, so she just ate instant noodles like Luo Ya to save trouble.

"How did it go this time?"

"Not bad. At least more loyal and reliable than the Iron Duke. Any news?"

"Well, here, I'll put it there for you..."

Roya took out a handwritten letter from the Iron Duke from under the pillow and handed it to Abrana, then continued to busy himself with the work at hand. Abrana took a look at the intact gold wax seal on it.

"I thought you were going to take it apart and see."

"There's nothing interesting to see. Even with my eyes closed, I can tell what he's going to say. It's nothing more than talking about his loyalty to you and emphasizing his importance. His words are full of loyalty and righteousness, but he's full of evil ideas in his mind."

"So you mean just ignore him?"

"That's not the case. After all, he is the undisputed most powerful duke in Victoria. Since he is willing to be one of ours, let's cooperate. I have asked the school officer to send a letter to him to ask Gastril to stop. You can't invite the grand dukes to a meeting in this shabby little village."

Seeing that Luo Ya didn't take these things to heart at all, Abrana simply sat next to him.

"Did you predict that I would call a meeting of the Grand Dukes?"

"I just didn't expect it to be so early. I originally suggested that you contact Victoria's noble council and the military, but since the invitation has already been sent out, there is nothing we can do."

In Roya's plan, Abrana must take her time if she wants to control the entire Victoria. Of course, relying on the red dragon bloodline to become the new king of Victoria is undoubtedly a pipe dream. The monarchs who sat on the throne in the past were all hanged, let alone Abrana, an uncrowned red dragon.

If a person suddenly declared himself to be the royal orthodoxy of Victoria and had the right of inheritance, but had nothing else, he would be nothing but a joke in everyone's eyes. But if he had the support of the two grand dukes of Victoria, the situation would be completely different, especially if one of them was the most capable one.

"I thought you were going to tell me to ignore him."

"Anyone can see that he has other ideas, but so what? I am actually curious about what kind of reason can make him tolerate us to this extent. It is beyond my expectations."

The Iron Duke was actually willing to lower himself to this position. Roya almost doubted whether he was really loyal to Abrana. To be honest, the Iron Duke was the only person he could not see through so far. He still lacked too little intelligence.

"To be honest, you are definitely the most terrifying person I have ever met. It has only been more than a month since you came to Deep Pool, and the situation in Victoria has changed to what it is now. You even feel that you haven't done enough."

"Yeah, why am I so good at this?"

Luoya reeled in the thread with the tail needle and finished knitting the scarf in his hand. Although he couldn't tell the colors, Abrana really liked the flower-like flame pattern on the scarf. She guessed that this was probably not a gift for her.

Just looking at Roya's quiet appearance at the moment, who would have thought that he is now the Secretary of Shenchi that the whole Victoria is afraid of, but the ability he has demonstrated has already exceeded Abrana's expectations.

"This is a gift for Ravshini. It's very well made. I didn't expect you to be so skillful."

"Thank you for the compliment. I learned it in prison."

Abrana's eyelids couldn't help but jump. She wondered whether Luo Ya was going to prison or to study in a national university. Which prison would teach these things?

"Don't look at me like that. I really learned it in prison. We occasionally act as a clothing factory to make school uniforms and help copy college entrance examination papers. There is an old man in our prison who is the test setter. He analyzes the college entrance examination papers for us after each test."

Luo Ya was not exaggerating. He did not even mention that there are monthly exams, midterm exams and final exams every year in prison, and even driver's license tests. These are all to ensure that the prisoners will not be out of touch with the developed world after they are released in the future.

"Forget it. Do you think she would be so excited to give you a kiss after receiving such a beautiful scarf?"

"Then will you burn me first or beat her first?"

Roya looked up at Abrana's playful expression and knew that she didn't really care about Lavishini. The greatest thing about this woman was her arrogant self-confidence. She believed that her sister could not snatch Roya away from her.

"I will probably burn her to ashes, then tie your hands and feet so that you will never be able to escape from my grasp in your life."

"What if I say that I plan to leave with Kal'tsit after the New Year?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ya suddenly felt that the temperature of the whole room had risen by more than ten degrees, and it suddenly changed from winter to summer. Abrana's hand had already reached into his quilt.

"If you mention it again, I'll burn you."
