Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

There were some teeth marks on her snow-white shoulders, and there was only tenderness in Abrana's eyes. No matter how domineering or ambitious she was, she always had a soft side in her heart that others could not know.

Only when she was with Luo Ya could she restrain her ambition, temporarily forget her responsibilities and hatred, and only express to him her desires and the fatigue and worries accumulated over the years.

She told Roya how much she wanted to kill the Earl of Warwick while she was being protected by him, how much pressure she faced when she met with the Iron Duke, and how carefully she had to maintain a balance between different forces.

"I'm going to the office. I still have some things to deal with."

Lowering his head and biting Abrana's lips gently, Roya pinched the tip of her tail, not afraid of the flames burning him at all.

"Then come back and stay with me tonight."

"it is good."

With so little time left to spend together, Abrana certainly wanted to take more of it, her desires unbridled, as unreservedly displayed to Roya as she was herself, and just as ardent.

After getting dressed and throwing the pantyhose and stockings that Abrana could no longer wear into the trash can, Roya yawned, patted his head, and left her room.

Abrana just looked at his back. She wanted Roya to stay and sleep with her until New Year's Day, but this was unlikely. She was greedy for everything about Roya. The surprises and sense of security he brought made her reluctant to leave.

Even though he was about to leave, he still wanted to work hard to pave the way for her future, and even proposed a plan that was crazier than the assassination of the Grand Duke. Abramana even suspected that Roya had actually already figured out how to take her to the throne of Victoria, but he really didn't have that much time.

But fortunately, his departure was not permanent, at least they still had time to spend more time together.

"There are still several months left..."

The flame at the tip of Abrana's tail danced, representing her current thoughts. She gently stroked her belly. Hmm, it was a little sticky. Luoya could be a little willful sometimes. Didn't she really want a child? Four out of six times, she was outside.

But it has been so long, maybe she can really get pregnant, and then she will have to find a way to hide it.

………………

"Abrana is really persistent."

Roya rubbed his head. He could understand Abrana's thoughts, but having a child was definitely not a good thing for Abrana and Shenchi. Although the main reason was that Roya was not ready to be a father, the development speed of him and Abrana was already fast enough.

Pushing open the office door, Luo Ya muttered as he fumbled for the lamp.

"I was originally thinking about when we could meet, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own.

"But what surprised me even more is that you are actually a sweets lover?"

There were several sounds of knives and forks hitting plates and slight chewing sounds coming from the dark office. Luo Ya knew without thinking that he was being robbed.

The bright light illuminated the room in an instant. Luo Ya looked at the cakes and cookies on the table that had been eaten up, and the various documents beside them had not been touched by the other party.

There was no one in sight. It seemed that the people in charge of patrolling were not lazy, but that they themselves possessed some special power or Originium skills. However, Roya could feel that the extra extremely powerful consciousness was standing behind him. He had no doubt that he would not see anything even if he turned around.

“I have always felt that desserts are the most valuable thing created by humans.”

A soft and boneless little hand was gently placed on Luoya's shoulder, and the warm breath and sweet words hit Luoya's ears, making him feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Don't be like that, ma'am. I am a person with a partner."

"I didn't realize you were such a reserved person. It makes me look like I'm being impolite."

"After all, he is a person that the Grand Duke is willing to sacrifice his life for. So let's not do this."

Luo Ya was too lazy to look back. He knew that the other person was standing behind him but would not let him see her. He also knew that he probably couldn't do anything to her. She didn't seem to have any ill intentions, but Luo Ya had the urge to stab her with a sword. After all, the last woman who played this trick on him was called Salus, and she was the Sarkaz who was almost killed by his sword on the Stanford.

He didn't expect that the person who had been hiding behind the Grand Duke had such a strange personality. It didn't match the impression he had heard from Stafford. As Victoria's shadow, the girl known as the unicorn seemed too lively.

"To be honest, it's the same for you. Sigh, Stafford is a good chess piece. It's really hard to just hand it over to you like this."

The one-horned girl had expected that no matter what happened on the Stafford, she would be the winner in the end, because Naris was also sent by her on purpose to be a pawn for Roya. She thought that after Naris inherited Stafford's position, she would be able to use him for her own purposes, but he was so devoted to Roya.

"What are you afraid of? Don't you still have Kaister in your hand?"

The unicorn girl's eyebrows twitched. She was somewhat surprised that Luo Ya knew this.

The hand on his shoulder couldn't help but use a little more force. Luo Ya knew that he had hit the man's mind, but it was only a momentary mistake.

"How do you know that Caister is mine?"

The one-horned girl stared at the back of Luoya's head. There was a satisfied smile on the face that Luoya couldn't see. Luoya surprised her again. If it weren't for the person in front of her who brought her so much pleasure, how could she have come to visit him in person?

But he was too dangerous. He seemed to follow the rules of the game but cheated in a place where no one could see.

"That's too easy. If Caister really wanted to cooperate with me, he could just send Gray Hat to Deep Pond. Why would he show up on the Stanford? Didn't you send Naris there just to give me a controllable heir?"

Luo Ya tapped the table with his index finger, and the smile on his face became even wider. He knew that he had guessed at least 80% right. At least Naris was indeed one of the other party's actions to express sincerity.

According to Naris, Kaster wanted to invite Roya to negotiate, so he sent him, a gray hat, to the Stanford to pretend to cooperate with Richard and lie in wait. But how could a simple invitation require so much trouble that he had to specially send Naris, who was still injured, to the Stanford.

This means that at the very beginning of the plan, Naris was designated as the heir to the Duke of Stafford. Even if Roya had not intervened, the one-horned girl would have let old Stafford pass the throne to him. Richard and Edward were abandoned pawns from the beginning, one was too stupid and the other was too ambitious. In order for Naris to become the Duke of Stafford, the simplest condition was met.

"If I'm not mistaken, he is probably from the Stafford family, so he has the right to inherit the Grand Dukedom. Of course, Naris himself may not know this."

"You're guessing?"

This surprised the girl even more. She thought Roya had asked Naris and Duke Stafford to do an appraisal, but it turned out to be pure inference.

“Sometimes intuition can be very accurate.”

Luo Ya casually put away the empty plates on the table. As for those documents, he thought that the other party really had not read them. Her control over Victoria was deeper than he thought, and the intelligence of the deep pool could not be hidden from her eyes at all.

"Then your guess is quite accurate. Naris is indeed from the Stafford family, but not from old Stafford's branch. He is the descendant of his uncle.

"When Stafford succeeded in seizing power, his uncle's entire family was almost wiped out. The survivors sought Caister's protection and naturally became our pawns."

In the girl's original plan, whether it was Edward or Richard, in fact all the heirs of the Duke of Stafford would die. In the end, she would let old Stafford support Naris to take the throne like Roya, so that she could continue to control the power of a grand duke.

But now her mind has changed, because she has found someone who is more valuable and can make her happier than the Grand Duke. For some reason, the more she looks at Luoya, the more satisfied she is with him. She wanted to recruit him before, but unfortunately the old woman pretending to be young in the Fairy Tale Castle disrupted her plan. However, the other party has been busy these days, so she is free to move.

"But it doesn't matter now. No matter who Naris belongs to, you won't let anyone question his identity as the Duke of Stafford."

In Caster's plan, letting Narys go to the Stanford was a win-win situation. She knew Narys's background, so she would not lose out no matter what the result was. She would be able to laugh along with whoever had the last laugh among Edward, Roya and Richard.

Now all the Grand Dukes have sent letters to congratulate the new heir to the Duke of Stafford. Anyone who dares to question Naris's identity will be tantamount to slapping the Grand Dukes in the face.

"So what are you going to talk about? Don't tell me you're just here to steal my cake."

Luo Ya has always understood that someone who shows kindness without any reason is either a traitor or a thief. The other party came to visit him late at night without concealing his presence at all, which clearly meant that he wanted him to notice him and then talk to him about something.

"It's so easy to talk to a smart person. I'll just say it straight. I want you."

The last four words almost made Roya fall off his chair. They were even more powerful than Abbrana's confession.

"This joke is too much."

Roya could still tolerate the teasing just now, but he really couldn't help but draw his sword after hearing this. He knew better than anyone what this sweet-loving girl had done. The hatred between her and Abrana alone could not be explained in a few words.

"This is not a joke. If you agree to be mine, I can not only grant you immortality like Stafford, but I can also let that little girl sit on the throne of Victoria."

The girl poked Roya's back gently with her horn, which meant that she might be shorter than Roya, but her condition only made Roya want to laugh.

"You're pretty good. To be honest, I like you. The last person who moved me was King Gale."

He was able to disrupt her plan, support Shenchi's rapid growth in such a short time, and use the immature intelligence network to deceive almost all the Grand Duke's spies. Even she didn't know what Roya was secretly arranging. Her words of being moved were not false.

"So you're so tempted to kill all of their descendants, even if they run to Longmen?"

Of course, Luo Ya couldn't believe such nonsense. She even deliberately mentioned Longmen to show that she knew that another red dragon bloodline outside the Deep Pool was also being hunted by the other party. She regarded Dayan as her backer. Since the other party had been able to control Victoria for so many years and used the Grand Duke as a pawn, she was a dangerous person in any aspect and was not an innocent little girl.

"How dare someone who doesn't even dare to show his face talk about cooperation?"

The voice behind him fell silent, as if thinking about something, and the hand on Luo Ya's shoulder slowly moved away.

"You are such an uncontrollable variable... I have changed my mind. I can help that little girl ascend the throne and I won't cause any trouble for them, but as a price, I want you to leave Victoria and never come back.

"Think about it carefully, my friend from Dayan. I'll give you some time."

Roya was an uncontrollable variable. His existence itself was a violation of the rules of the game she had designed. Coupled with his demonstrated abilities and that inexplicable attraction, the unicorn girl tried to extend her olive branch. As for killing Roya... she was indeed worried about involving Da Yan. After all, what that country did a thousand years ago forced the giant beasts of the entire Terra to shrink their lives. Even if the other party could not interfere directly with Victoria, it would be troublesome to send people to disrupt the situation.

"Well, it seems that since I have eaten your cake and eaten it, I have to give you one last piece of advice. Although I don't know why you got involved with that stupid dog, you can't beat him even if you put all of you together."

After leaving these words, the consciousness in Luo Ya's perception suddenly disappeared just like when it came, which made him feel relieved. Anyway, he was sure that the other party was not human and would be difficult to deal with.

"After realizing that I'm not a controllable chess piece but an uncontrollable variable, you decisively want to kick me out? Anyway, I plan to leave, but from what she said, there must be more cards in her hand than just Caister. Is it Victoria's military or the noble parliament?"

He tapped the table gently. If the other party really still controlled the military and the aristocratic council, then Abrana would face even greater pressure in the future. The claim of being a grand duke alone was not enough. He needed to find a way to get more support from Abrana, preferably from those with great prestige.

"Can't you give me a little more time?"

Roya spread out the map of Victoria. He needed to find all the forces that could help Abrana. This time, the Iron Duke could be one of them. The old guy's ambition would not allow him to become a puppet of the Unicorn.

Secondly, there were the steam knights guarding the border that Roya and Abrana had discussed a long time ago. They were Victoria's well-deserved high-end combat force. The 34-member knight group could compete with three fully staffed high-speed battleships and even gain the upper hand.

"But they are the subordinates of the late Emperor Victoria, so we need to spend more effort on them."

Luo Ya took out a pen and paper to write a letter, but the moment he put pen to paper, he remembered the warning the other party gave him before he left.

"A little moment."

It's not just Abbrana that he needs to prepare for, but also the silly dog ​​who has been with him from the beginning.

Chapter 87: A Restless Night

"Have you been getting along well with Xiao Ke and the others these days?"

Luo Ya put down the documents in his hand. Tomorrow is New Year's Day. In the past few days, in addition to letting Mandela follow him to learn how to process intelligence, Luo Ya also let her try to contact Xiao Ke and Rosemary. The three little ones had a lot of fun playing together.

The loss of her parents made Mandela mature, and her childish side had more understanding of others. She also became the mediator between Xiaoke and Rosemary. Mandela envied them for meeting Roya so early and being able to leave with Roya, while they envied her for being able to work with Roya.

"Very good. Xiaoke likes to eat and play but is very lively. Like me, he doesn't like doing math problems. Rosemary is very quiet but very smart, but she gets distracted and forgetful sometimes."

It was not easy for Mandela to make two friends in a place like Deep Pool. She knew that Roya hoped that he could have more happiness that belonged to his age.

"How is Xiao Ke doing?"

"Hmm... she's been distracted a lot. She hasn't done anything with the exercise book you left for her these past few days."

"I see, Mandra, what do you think of the sisters Ravshini and Abrana?"

Luo Ya chose to change the subject, but to be honest, this topic was a bit dangerous. In the deep pool, only Luo Ya dared to discuss it openly with others.

The sisters Ravshini and Abrana are both red dragons, but their different ideologies are obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. The school officer has often come to Roya to mediate their quarrels. To put it bluntly, their relationship is similar to that of radicals and conservatives.

"You ask me this... Her Highness Abrana is suitable to be the monarch in troubled times, while Her Highness Lavishini should be the king of a peaceful world."

This was a fair and non-offensive evaluation, and Luo Ya nodded slightly.

"So do you think Victoria is in a chaotic or peaceful time now?"

Scratching the kitten's chin, Roya asked another question. After the New Year's Eve tomorrow night, he would leave the next day. He had already taught Mandela the most important things as an intelligence officer, and used his own power to solidify her memory.

"In troubled times, although the war has not started, the grand dukes are scheming against each other and making preparations in secret. In fact, the war has already begun, but there is no gun smoke."

"You're so good... I'm sorry for making you learn these things at your age."

"I am your follower, and this is what I should do."

Although Roya never acted superior, Mandela always remembered her status and did not dare to overstep her boundaries. Fortunately, Roya was willing to touch her head and chin more as a reward. There was nothing better than this.

"I don't need a servant. You are an excellent student. Abbrana's future will be difficult and lonely. When that time comes, I will ask you to help her."

"what do you mean--"

Roya blocked Mandela's mouth with his index finger, telling her not to give that answer, and then took Mandela off his lap.

"Let's go check if the cafeteria has finished purchasing. Tomorrow is New Year's Day."

"Subordinate, go right away."

Mandela trotted away from Roya's sight without hesitation, but before Roya could think about how Shen Chi would face the pressure from the grand dukes in the future, a tail with fire rushed in front of him again.

"what happened?"

Roya raised his head and looked at Abbrana. It was the first time he saw a cunning look in her eyes, even though she was at least six years older than him.

"this is for you."

Abrana threw the thing in her hand to Roya, and he subconsciously reached out to catch it, and found that it was a sword. Compared with the heirloom Abrana gave him before, it only did not have the gem as the embellishment on the hilt, and it was heavier.

"Is this what you've been busy with all this time?"

In the past few days, Abrana always sat in the office for a while and then left. Although Luo Ya guessed that she was preparing a gift for him, he didn't expect it to be a sword.

"I guess so, but it's a little inappropriate to use it as a New Year's gift, so I'll give it to you today."

Although Abrana wanted to appear calm, she was still very happy when she saw Roya playing with the sword lovingly. After all, it took her a lot of effort to forge this sword.

She herself did not know how to forge, but the fire of the Drake clan could control everything that was burned, and she could also transform the metal into what she wanted, but fine control was a little difficult. The final polishing and preparation work was handed over to the logistics department responsible for weapon maintenance.
