I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

You know, His Highness died in this civil war.

Ikaros didn't think that the civil war in Kazdel, which had reached this point, could be negotiated secretly.

So there must be some other information and secrets that she didn't know.

Anyway, it can't be the one who received Tracy.

Chapter 176: Exclusive Desire!!!

After communicating with Theresa for a while and chatting about some other things.

Although I don't know why your final topic gradually shifted from the commission to the Kazdel Civil War, and finally deviated a little bit to the country of Victoria.

However, due to their own inner purposes, the two people actually had a quite pleasant conversation.

However, despite this, as time passed, the conversation between the two people finally came to an end.

For Theresa, the conversation with Ikaros made her feel a long-lost sense of satisfaction and security, as if the real Grand Duke was right beside her, chatting with her.

The familiar feeling became clearer and clearer, and even the complicated emotions in Theresa's heart were only chaotically expressing to her the vague idea that Icarus was the Grand Duke. It was a pity that the clothes Icarus wore now were too modern. If he wore a Victorian dress, Theresa felt that she probably would not be able to control her emotions.

And apart from the increasingly familiar aura of Ikaros, Theresa was very happy even if she was just chatting with Ikaros.

After all, many of the problems and principles that Ekaros talked about, as well as the methods to solve these problems, were to the point, unheard of yet sounded very feasible, enough to make Theresa, who was troubled by these aspects, feel like she had suddenly become enlightened.

If the situation was not inappropriate and the current relationship between the two people was not in place, Theresa really wanted to invite Ekaros to her room to discuss with her the governance plan for Kazdel.

It can only be said to be a pity.

At the same time, because she had other things to deal with, and Theresa knew that the relationship between her and Ikaros was still very distant, although she missed the time she spent communicating with Ikaros, she also knew that she needed to leave.

And Ikaros, who had the same feelings as Theresa, had similar feelings.

In his previous life, Ikaros, who was originally a "doctor", liked this gentle princess more. He had enjoyed the scene countless times after the plot that Theresa might win the resurrection match and come to his side.

It was a pity that she never got to see Theresa go to the island as she wished, until Ikaros in her previous life was hit and killed by a car.

Now that he could chat with Theresa face to face and personally feel the comfort and sense of security brought by this most gentle demon king, Ekalos had to admit that after he briefly forgot about Arturo, he did more or less like the feeling of chatting with this princess.

It was not just because of the influence of the simulator, nor was it because of the love in the previous life for the 'character' in the game who turned into light in the darkness to guide the Sarkaz forward.

But Ikaros was pure and straightforward. During his brief interaction with Theresa, he fell in love with this person whose every word and gesture was filled with unconcealable tenderness and a hint of maternal love.

Originally, Ikaros was still a little confused.

But now she finally understood why the Archduke in the simulation would gradually fall in love with Theresa in their daily interactions, and his attitude towards Theresa also changed from just playing around in the beginning to gradually reaching the level of devoting his heart and even his life to her.

There's no way, a truly gentle and kind beautiful girl is really hard to resist.

This is especially true for those who lack love and security.

It was no wonder that Theresa had such a formidable level of public support and reputation among the people of Kazdel.

If the Terran countries had not been so frustrated in defeating the Sarkaz that their capitals had not been razed to the ground thousands of times, I'm afraid Theresis would have been no way to lead the Military Committee to start a civil war with Theresa.

What a terrifying charisma you have, Your Highness.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but Ikaros also knew that people like Theresa were very busy. In addition, the two of them had indeed chatted for a long time, so Ikaros decided to end the topic between them.

After all, Ekaros had only temporarily forgotten about his childhood sweetheart.

"Speaking of which...it's getting late, Theresa. How about we discuss this topic tomorrow?"

During the communication, Ikaros, who had already subconsciously changed the way he addressed Theresa, tactfully suggested ending the topic between the two that seemed to never end.

Theresa was thinking the same thing. Seeing that Ekaros had brought it up in advance, she smiled and nodded.

"Okay, we can arrange a time. By the way, I can also bring you a set of Victorian-style clothes to see if it suits you, Ekaros."

They happened to be talking about Victorian clothing just now, and to be honest, Theresa was looking forward to how Ikaros would look after wearing the Grand Duke's clothes.

And Theresa had sufficient reasons. After all, during the conversation just now, Theresa specifically mentioned that Ikaros had a unique temperament like a Victorian aristocrat.

Ikaros did not take this too seriously, and only felt that he was subtly influenced by the Grand Duke, so he talked a lot with His Highness about this aspect.

So Ikaros would not refuse this small request made by Theresa.

"Sure, Theresa. I'm looking forward to the clothes you bring me."

Besides, to be honest, Ikaros herself was somewhat curious about those clothes. If they were really as beautiful and convenient as recorded in the Grand Duke's memory, she wouldn't mind collecting some clothes of this style in the future.

"I won't let you down... So, goodbye?"

Theresa chuckled, then waved goodbye to Ikaros, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited for Ikaros's answer.

"Well, goodbye, Theresa." Ikaros waved his hand naturally and said goodbye softly to the gentle demon king in front of him.

The first meeting between the two ended peacefully in a way that made both parties happy.

But... beneath that peaceful appearance, what lurks in the shadows is clearly not truly peaceful...

It can be said that both women have their own ulterior motives in their hearts.

And the unspeakable emotions hidden deep in their hearts are much deeper and more twisted than what they show on the surface.

Whether it is Theresa.

Or maybe Ikaros.

This is all the case.

The former needs no further explanation, but for the latter, even though Ikaros thought that he just wanted to save Theresa, when she wavered in the idea of ​​only caring about the people around her, when she compromised with herself little by little and no longer focused her attention and emotions on only one person.

The impact that the simulation had on Ikaros, the fragments of memory and emotion belonging to the Grand Duke, had been deeply engraved in the depths of Ikaros' soul.

But this is ultimately Ikaros's own choice.

If you really reject being influenced by the Grand Duke's memories and emotions.

Then no one could force Ikaros to change his will, but from beginning to end, Ikaros subconsciously wanted to save something, to redeem something.

This is why her heart is gradually longing to ask for something and possess something.

She... therefore really wanted to become "friends" with Theresa.

——It must be the kind that lasts a lifetime.

However, Ikaros is still not fully aware of the thoughts hidden deep in his heart. He just feels that he simply wants to save Theresa's sad future.

But in the future, sooner or later she will understand her feelings.

Just like she would understand Arturo's feelings for her sooner or later.

-------------------------------------

After separating from Theresa, in the afternoon, Icarus originally wanted to find Arturo as soon as possible to see how he was doing at the moment.

Although Icarus hopes that Arturo, who relies too much on himself, can get away from his influence a little.

But this does not mean that Icarus no longer cares about Arturo, nor does it mean that Icarus wants a rift in the relationship between himself and Arturo.

So she originally planned to find her childhood sweetheart immediately after finishing her conversation with Theresa, and decide how to comfort him based on the situation.

But things did not go as planned. Since there was the word "originally", it was destined that things would go slightly wrong.

For example, after Ikaros cleaned up the room, he just went out and met a lost infected girl.

Icarus could have ignored him and gone straight to Arturo's room, but the morals and conscience she had developed in Lateran made her take the girl to find her family.

After spending two or three hours, they finally found the girl's family with the help of Ascalon who emerged from the shadows.

I was also thanked profusely by the other party.

This made Ekalos quite happy, but the smile on his face froze after he saw the time.

Because he was not familiar with the Rhodes Island ship, and because Ikaros had taken the girl around for a long time, when Ikaros arrived at Arturo's door, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.

This is actually not the most embarrassing thing.

What made Icarus feel most embarrassed was that not only did she come back late, but Arturo seemed to have realized that she would come back sooner or later and was waiting for Icarus at the door.

Icarus, who was feeling a little nervous, was frightened when he entered the corridor where he and Arturo lived, and saw Arturo standing at the door waiting for him. After all, what was the feeling of a husband going out to fool around after marriage, leaving his wife, who was at home taking care of the children, standing at the door and worried?

Anyway, Icarus thought of at least a hundred ways to apologize and words to comfort Arturo in his mind.

Especially after seeing the slight redness in the corners of Arturo's eyes, Icarus felt even more that he deserved to die.

Her intentions must be good, but if she really hurts her childhood sweetheart.

Then Ikaros would really feel that he would never give up!

Even on the way to Arturo, Ekalos' legs had begun to weaken slightly, which showed how much pressure Ekalos was under at the moment.

"Good... good evening, Arturo..." The tone of his voice became slightly timid when he greeted him. Ekalos swallowed and looked at Arturo, who had a cold face in front of him, with a wry smile.

I wonder if I really made Arturo angry this time?

“Well…well, actually, I’ve wanted to find you, Arturo, for a long time, I just…no, I, I…”

He was trying to explain incoherently to his childhood sweetheart why he came to see her so late.

It was rare for Ikaros to show such panic that he was dancing around and explaining something, looking as cute as an innocent kitten.

Arturo, who had been keeping a cold face and trying to tease Ekalos who had disappeared without a word for the entire afternoon, couldn't help but smile.

Even the little bit of resentment in his heart towards Ekaros disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, okay, no more jokes, Ikaros."

"You don't need to explain anything to me. I understand your thoughts. Mother has already enlightened me, so you don't have to take my gaffe at that time to heart."

Reaching out and touching the girl's silver hair that was as smooth as silk, Arturo thought a lot after realizing that he was overly dependent on Ekalos. With the guidance of his mother, he also figured out many things.

If the original situation continued, Arturo knew that he and Arturo would still maintain a close "friend" relationship with each other.

But that's all.

But what Arturo seeks is not just a simple friendship.

She hoped that she could build a closer, deeper relationship with Ikaros.

Arturo hopes that he and Icarus can become each other's supporters, absolute understanders, comprehensive acquaintances, ideal martyrs, close friends, co-players, accomplices, and even...

——Become lovers.

This is what Arturo really insists on and wants in his heart.

Therefore, she understood that she could no longer blindly get along with Ekaros as a childhood sweetheart, nor could she continue to overly rely on the gentleness that Ekaros brought her.

Otherwise, she would end up appearing at Ekaros' wedding with another guy as a sister-in-law or a sister-in-law.

That would be hell.

"Is that so? But..." But Ekalos still felt guilty towards Arturo, and even felt more guilty because of Arturo's understanding.

At this moment, I'm afraid that no matter what request Arturo makes, as long as it is not too excessive, Ekalos will agree without hesitation, right?

"No buts, but... If you really feel bad, Ekaros, then how about sleeping with me tonight? Just be my pillow for the whole night, as my 'punishment' for you."

However, upon seeing this, Arturo turned around and was about to walk into the half-open door, but after walking a little further in, he turned his head slightly and made this suggestion seemingly "awkwardly".

And why would Ikaros care about anything else?

She just wanted to gain Arturo's forgiveness and avoid any rift between them.

Therefore, Icarus agreed to Arturo's "punishment" without hesitation.

"Okay, let's sleep together tonight. It just so happens that we haven't watched the stars together for a long time."

Grabbing one of Arturo's arms with both hands, Icarus followed Arturo into the other's room and closed the door skillfully after entering.

Apparently, he regarded Arturo's "punishment" as his last "lifeline".

When Arturo saw this scene, although a trace of guilt flashed through his heart, it was quickly covered by excitement and joy.

After all... I didn't know it before, but now it seems that Arturo discovered that his childhood sweetheart is not only very easy to be teased by him, but also very easy to be fooled by him.

They could sleep together casually, and it seemed that Ikaros was not opposed to it.

Really, what was I worrying about before?

And after all, we are all girls, so it is normal for us to sleep together before the feelings are exposed.

Thinking of this, Arturo felt inexplicably relieved, yet couldn't help feeling a little lost.
