"We are almost at the border between Ursus and Casimir. At this rate, we will probably be able to leave the border of Ursus and reach Casimir tomorrow."
"That's really fast. It's only been a few days."
Thinking of the White Rabbit who wanted to take him down after just a few days and Tallulah who had already taken him down, Roya suddenly felt that a few days didn't seem so short. He clearly remembered that he was not handsome, so why did his relationship with Frost Star and Tallulah become like this?
Looking at Roya's tangled face, Afdoka didn't know what he was thinking. The man in front of her always had too many thoughts. She had asked the snow monsters about Roya in her spare time. The snow monsters didn't know Roya's past, but they all admired him very much. According to them, Tallulah was the heart of the integration movement, the Patriot, Froststar and Shield Guard were the hands and feet of the integration movement, and Roya was the brain of the integration movement.
Coming back to his senses from his thoughts, Roya followed Avdoga towards the snow monster, and suddenly remembered that this girl was not yet a member of the Reunion Movement, and they would separate after arriving in Casimir.
"Have you decided where you want to go next?"
"No, I want to go to Colombia but I can't adapt to the fast-paced life there. I want to go to Dos Soles but I heard that Bolivar is very chaotic. After thinking about it, I wanted to settle down in Xiosta, but it might be too noisy there."
Afdoka subconsciously glanced at Roya's face as she spoke, then quickly retracted her gaze. She still remembered what they said about the relationship between Roya and Froststar when she asked the snow monsters about Roya. This made her more or less concerned.
"I still owe you for saving my life, so I'll just follow you guys and do something within my ability to repay you."
This was not the first time that Avdoka mentioned such an idea. Luo Ya had no objection to her wanting to join the integration, but he did not care about things like life-saving grace. He just hoped that Avdoka would not choose the same way of repaying as Shuangxing. Fortunately, this girl had only known him for a few days and they did not communicate much, so it was unlikely that she would have such an idea.
In his heart, Roya also hoped that Avdoka could stay. This girl was very smart, hardworking and down-to-earth. She was very suitable to help him deal with the staff affairs of the Integration Movement. She could also assist Tallulah together with Alina after he left.
But from another perspective, he also hopes that Aphrodite can leave and live the life she wants freely. Nowadays, there are still reservations within the Integration Movement towards ordinary people. Moreover, if there is too much contact with the infected, the risk of contracting the Originium disease will increase. Not everyone is not afraid of the Originium disease, and there are even fewer people who have the courage to actively contact the Originium like Roya and Tallulah.
"Then you can answer this question after we leave Ursus tomorrow, or after we return to Integration, I can find someone to escort you to where you want to go."
Roya thought that after arranging the integration movement and repaying Tolan's favor, it would only take half a month at most. He could take Avdoka back to Victoria and have Deep Pool send her away. He just needed to explain to Abrana and Mandela that she had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Roya still said the same thing, Avdoka said nothing more. She knew that Roya was worried that she would be infected with oripathy or be excluded by others, but she just wanted to escape from Ursus and repay Roya's kindness. She didn't care about being excluded. As for the risk of contracting oripathy, she could also take more protective measures.
"Are you worried that Frost Star will be unhappy? I heard that you and she are a couple?"
"Those guys from the Snow Monster Team are just trying to make a fuss. Froststar and I are just pure comrades in arms. Don't think too much about it."
Luo Ya thought of the kiss from Frost Star a few days ago, which gave him a headache. He had not figured out how to reject Frost Star's feelings, but if he delayed it any further, something bad would definitely happen. If this went on, Frost Star's feelings for him would no longer be comradeship, but possessiveness.
After hearing what Luoya said, Afdoka's doubts were answered. Perhaps because she was about to leave Ursus, she seemed to be in a very good mood.
Chapter 141 Tallulah doesn't want to separate from Roya
It was another cold morning. Kashena wrapped herself in a scarf to keep warm and prepared to go to school to continue her classes, but she saw the messenger responsible for delivering mail on this street walking towards her.
"Good morning, Miss Kashiena. I have a letter for you."
"My letter?"
Kashena was stunned for a moment, then took the letter and took a look. The letter did have her residential address and her name written on it, but the sender's signature was Tallulah. However, Kashena knew very well that Tallulah would never reply to her.
Then this letter could only come from someone she was familiar with, the man she had been thinking about for more than a thousand years. She could even guess where the letter would be used, so she simply opened the letter and took a look.
"As expected, this kind of behavior is worthy of Teacher Noah. He is still like this after all these years."
After reading the letter, Kasheina had a rough idea of Roya's plan. She could even imagine what kind of unfortunate ending the radicals and conservatives of Ursus would have in the end. Whether Roya's plan could be implemented depended on her willingness to cooperate. If Kasheina was unwilling, it would only take more time for the Integration Movement. But if she helped...
"My dear teacher Noah, how you repay me when the time comes is not your choice."
Muttering quietly, Kashena thanked the messenger and prepared to continue to go to school, but this time she was not going to class, but to resign. Next, she planned to find a job in Chernobog. She wanted to establish an integration movement there to see how Roya could escape from her in the future. By the way, she did not object to Roya's plan. After all, the purpose of the Black Snake's existence was to keep Ursus alive. Since Roya did not want to start all over again like he did back then, she of course raised her hand in approval.
As for the resentment and unwillingness over the past thousand years, she would get back from Roya little by little in the days to come what he owed her. If Roya had not left without saying goodbye that year, she would not have to worry about no one inheriting her position as Duke of Kosice and would have to give it to her adopted daughter. She would not have made a deal with the dark snake and split herself into so many parts and lived until now.
"Ah!"
A very bad feeling inexplicably surged into his heart, causing Luo Ya to tremble all over, and his nose itched and he sneezed.
"What's going on? I have a bad feeling... Could something have happened to Tallulah?"
Luo Ya thought a little anxiously. While Ursus hadn't reacted yet, they had already left the border of Ursus and were heading towards the meeting place agreed with the Integration Movement. It was estimated that the journey would take half a day, and they would reach the pine forest tonight.
"Don't think too much. We are the bait. With Tallulah, the old stubborn man, and so many shield guards here, they will definitely be fine."
Frost Star, who was in charge of driving, glanced at Roya and Avdoka in the rearview mirror. After confirming that the two did not do anything, he continued to focus on the road ahead. The wilderness is open but also dangerous. There are always some scavengers and wanderers who will attack passing vehicles. The vehicle that Roya and others are using now is "borrowed" from some scavengers.
However, there are a total of four vehicles, including the transport vehicle of the Snow Monster Team at the back. There should not be many people who have the courage to attack such a convoy. If they are really attacked, it means that the trouble is extremely serious, just like Rusty Hammer.
"That's true. There shouldn't be any problems with Tallulah."
After being separated for nearly a week, Luo Ya was still somewhat concerned about his adopted sister. Although Tallulah was now one of the causes of his headaches, he still hoped that everything was going well for her.
Avdoka, who was sitting next to Roya, thought for a moment and was a little curious about Tallulah, whom she had never met.
"What kind of person is Tallulah that you are talking about?"
"Well... I'm a bit careless at times, and too honest."
Luo Ya thought about Tallulah's daily behavior. She was obviously very smart, but she was easily trapped in misconceptions. She couldn't think clearly about many things. She was also too straightforward and honest. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Frost Star didn't save face for Tallulah like Roya did, and was not polite at all when complaining.
"To put it bluntly, he is not smart, stubborn and protective of his shortcomings."
After listening to Roya and Shuangxing's descriptions, Afdoka thought about it and looked at them.
"It seems like you have a good relationship with that Tallulah."
"Who has a good relationship with that guy... Never mind, it's not that bad."
Frost Star suddenly remembered that Tallulah was Roya's sister, and then thought of their past, and felt that the relationship between herself and Tallulah was pretty good.
Roya did not deny what Afdoka said. He and Tallulah had been in a relationship for a long time and knew each other very well. But the more he thought about it, the more difficult it was for Roya to admit the relationship between him and Tallulah.
"Of course, she is my sister."
"...-Then should I bring some gifts when I meet her?"
Afdoka looked at her hands and subconsciously felt that she should bring some gifts when she met Tallulah, but she was penniless. She still had some money, but it was impossible for her to find a place to buy things in the wilderness, let alone give her dowry to others.
"No need. You are our temporary companion. This is not a visit to relatives or friends, so you don't need to bring any gifts. Tallulah is very easy-going."
"Will she dislike me?"
When Luo Ya first heard this question, he felt that something seemed to be wrong, but it was also very reasonable. After all, it was normal for Afdoka to worry about being rejected by Tallulah because of her non-infected identity.
"That's not the case. Tallulah is kind and gentle. Although she is a bit stubborn, that's because she has a strong personality. It's better to say that everyone in my family has a strong personality. I am an exception."
Not to mention Abrana and Tallulah, even Ravshine is very strong-willed in most cases. She will never admit defeat in something she has determined and never give up on something she wants to do. She would even confess her love to Abrana after having a fight with him. As for Roya, he is an exception... He doesn't want to be strong, he wants to be strong.
Listening to the conversation between the two people, Shuangxing felt like an unnecessary outsider, like a taxi driver taking a couple to meet the boy's parents. Shouldn't she be in this car? But she couldn't see why Luoya liked Aphrodite. This guy treated everyone like this.
Shuangxing thought that she still had to say something, lest she really became the one who was only responsible for driving. If it weren't for Aphrodite's lack of security, Shuangxing would have left her behind and ridden in the same car with the snow monsters. Tsk, let this guy sit in the passenger seat later.
"Roya, have you thought about the future development plan in Casimir?"
"Yes, I will go find some old friends to help me after I meet with Tallulah and the others. We will be able to settle down in half a month at most. There will be a lot of things we need to prepare, and money is also necessary."
After hearing what Frost Star said, Roja's attention was immediately focused on the development plan of the Integration Movement. He already had a complete plan in this regard. It would not be a problem to keep the Integration Movement from going astray in the next three to five years. But what to do in the future was something that Talulah and others should think about. He couldn't help the Integration Movement with advice on all matters. He only had one year left to live. If he couldn't find another way to prolong his life, he could only wait for the next revival. He didn't know if it would take him a year or two to get out of the coffin.
Luo Ya's thoughts turned over and he was thinking about the future. He had made too many arrangements. Longmen and Ursus should remain stable for the time being. After the incident with Casimir was over, he would have to go back to Abrana and help her with advice. She should have received the warning he gave to Kaster before.
His fingers gently touched the sword that Aburana had given him. Roya couldn't help wondering what Aburana and Mandela would do now. If something unexpected really happened to Victoria and caused Aburana and Mandela to have an accident, then even if he died again, he would drag those Grand Dukes to be buried with him.
..............................
At the Duke of Caister's Palace in Victoria, after feeling an inexplicable discomfort, Caister looked at Bellingham in front of him. Although he had seen all his experiences in the report, the matter was of great importance, so Caister decided to ask him in person.
"So you're sure it's really him?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke, I can confirm that although I don't know why he became Drake, he knows and has encountered everything about Victoria."
Bellingham wanted to cover his face with the gray politeness on his head. He never liked reporting such things in person. Although the Duke of Castor was known for his generosity, as a gray hat, he knew very well how capable the man in front of him was. After all, there were not many simple dukes in Victoria, except for the Duke of Cavendish, who was recognized as a failed heir with neither ability nor character. The guy became the Grand Duke purely because his father cleared all obstacles for him, but now he chose to contact the Sarkaz.
Based on this alone, if civil war really broke out in Victoria, he, the Duke of Cavendish, would be the first to be dealt with besides the Iron Duke.
Caister did not doubt Gray Hat's ability to do things, at least he did not recognize the wrong person. Caister was actually very clear about the fact that Roya turned into Drake. The other grand dukes all suspected that Deep Pool had weapons of mass destruction. According to the representative of the unicorn, Roya's power could indeed make all the grand dukes afraid, and even if he was not there, Abrana had a trump card in her hand.
"He met with you and didn't say anything else?"
Of course Bellingham nodded to indicate that he had. Because he had a deep impression of Roja and he almost lost his life in Ursus because of the appearance of the internal guard, he remembered the action very clearly.
"Your Excellency the Duke, please forgive me for being rude. Lord Roya asked me to bring you a message. He will visit you in the future if he has the chance. I hope everyone can be more sincere this time."
You? Caister realized that Roya was talking about the one-horned girl, but whether he noticed more hidden secrets remained to be investigated. However, it was unlikely to use Tallulah at present, but at least the purpose of investigating whether Roya was still alive was achieved.
But in this case, let alone war, Kaster also has to help Abrana stabilize the internal situation in Victoria, otherwise no one can predict what Roya will do, not to mention that Abrana's prestige among the people of Victoria is now at its peak. Before Roya, there were people who wanted to manipulate the channels of public opinion, but this matter was too difficult and they could not learn Roya's method.
Caister did not want to see civil war. If the civil war in Victoria must have an initiator, it can only be the most powerful Iron Duke. Only in this way can he, Godottin, Normandy and others unite to take the lead in fighting against the strongest man known as the "Death Knell of the Empire".
If it was the Duke of Cavendish who started the war, he would be the first to be attacked as the initiator, and the Iron Duke's losses would not be too high. More importantly, in that situation it would be impossible to unite with other grand dukes to deal with him, as everyone had their own ideas and it was impossible for them to come together.
Kaister knew very well that Roya was very resentful of the one-horned girl's actions. Originally, the one-horned girl tried to win him over, and after failing, she also thought about negotiating cooperation. After all, she didn't mind letting Abrana ascend to the throne, otherwise the Council of Nobles would not have remained silent until now. But at that time, out of conservative considerations, the one-horned girl still thought it would be best to get rid of Roya. It was the busy New Year month, and the people in the Fairy Tale Castle were unable to spare any time. It was a good opportunity to kill Roya, but no one expected that his potential was so huge, obviously exceeding the upper limit of a human being.
"He really gave me a difficult problem. I thought he just understood the situation, but I didn't expect that he was actually guiding the development and direction of the situation, leading to the current situation where everyone can only watch the other side grow stronger. If we really want to break the deadlock, we can't do it from the inside."
As she spoke, Caister looked in the direction of Cavendish. She suddenly felt that Cavendish was not so useless. At least he brought an unstable variable to Victoria - the Sarkaz.
"It's a pity that Tallulah can't be used by me, but I guess he will get rid of her too."
Caister thought that Roya would not leave Tallulah to pose a threat and hidden danger to Abrana. The Roya she knew was that kind of person, ruthless and decisive, never dragging his feet. There would be a conflict between Tallulah and Roya sooner or later.
....................................
In a pine forest in Casimir, Alina gently patted Tallulah's shoulder and watched her rub her eyes sleepily, her eyes full of worry.
"Tallulah, you should go back to bed. You haven't slept a wink since last night. I'll let you know if Roya comes."
"No, I'll stay here. I have to be the first to greet them when they come back. I feel they will be here soon."
Tallulah forced herself to be alert. She had not slept well during the march in the past few days and her mental state was very bad. However, she still stayed at the edge of the pine forest waiting for the return of Roya and the Yeti team, praying that they were safe.
Alina understood Tallulah's thoughts, but she was more concerned about her condition. Alina herself had been praying for Roya and others to return safely, but Tallulah, as the leader, could not fall first.
"That's what you said this morning. It's almost evening now, so let's go have a meal first. I..."
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of an unnatural light from the corner of her eyes. Before Alina could finish her words, Tallulah had already rushed out quickly. She had already sensed the warmth belonging to Roya and couldn't wait to give him a hug.
Frost Star, who was driving, wanted to step on the accelerator and rush towards Tallulah, but he just thought about it and stopped the car. Roya opened the door and walked out, then opened his arms and hugged Tallulah who ran into his arms, and was knocked to the ground by her.
"Roya, I'm so glad you're okay, that's great!"
After feeling Roya's body and confirming that he had no wounds, Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief. She had tried her best to suppress her worries in the past few days, but she couldn't help thinking about what she would do if Roya didn't come back. Now that she finally saw that he was safe and sound, she even wanted to cry.
Roya could feel Tallulah's anxiety and uneasiness, as well as her happiness and excitement at the moment, so she had to comfort her and tell her not to get too excited.
"I'm fine, don't worry, just start with me."
Ever since what happened that day, Roya no longer wanted to call Tallulah "sister". The main reason was that he had an indescribable strange feeling because Tallulah was originally his fiancée's sister.
Seeing Tallulah act like this right from the start, Frost Star was naturally unhappy, but she couldn't do anything and could only say a few words to Tallulah.
"Yeah, he was fine originally. He was lucky that you didn't punch two holes in his body with your horn. But it looks like you don't care whether I live or die."
Tallulah felt a little embarrassed to be told that by Froststar, and quickly moved away from Roja.
"Sorry, sorry. I was just too excited. Ahem. Welcome back, Frost Star."
Holding Roya's hand, Tallulah pointed to the pine forest not far away with one hand, with a bright smile on her face, sweeping away her previous fatigue.
"Let's go, everyone is waiting for you. I'm not the only one who's been caring about you. Although we don't have much supplies, let's have a small celebration party."
Leaving Ursus and entering Casimir will have a crucial impact on the future of integration. Although being away from the oppression of Ursus does not mean that she will be welcomed by Casimir, at least she has taken this step. How can Talulah not be happy?
And all this was caused by Roya. Tallulah held his hand tightly and said she didn't want to be separated from him at all.
Chapter 142 Tallulah's Desire
"Roya, don't you like drinking?"
Sitting next to Roya with a glass of wine in hand, Tallulah noticed that there seemed to be only water in his bowl, which made her feel a little disappointed.
In terms of alcohol tolerance, Roya can drink a lot, but he doesn't like drinking. Juice is his favorite. However, he also understands that everyone in the integration movement needs to have a good drink to vent their worries for many days and celebrate this hard-won short-term victory.
"Someone has to clean up tonight, so go ahead and drink. I really don't like drinking, and I can't drink much."
"OK then."
Tallulah looked around. Roya didn't like to sit in the center of the crowd, but preferred to stay quietly in a corner where no one cared. So people around didn't notice this side, but were watching Alina and Afdoka dancing. One was a gentle little deer from the snowy forest, and the other was a noble but not arrogant pink wolf girl. They were particularly eye-catching together.
Feeling impressed that Alina danced better than herself, the one who taught her, Tallulah glanced at Roya again and had a bad idea in her mind.
