After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"But you..."

"It's okay, go ahead—"

Villian smiled softly as she spoke.

"Why does it feel like you're saying goodbye to your terminally ill wife? It's okay, go ahead."

Aize sighed, weighed the pros and cons, nodded and stood up.

"I'll be back soon."

Soon, Aize saw Heidi in the living room. The latter was looking around the room as if examining the house.

When she saw Aize coming in, she immediately stood up and rushed over to hug Aize.

"Good morning, Aize. I've missed you so much after not seeing you for a whole day~"

The acting was quite realistic, but unfortunately it didn't fit with her previous character, and it was a bit exaggerated. Overdoing it is a big taboo, Heidi.

Aize complained in his heart and then pushed the other person away.

"Good morning, are you still in Tafia? I thought you returned to Anlin Plain after the banquet the day before yesterday."

"There's nothing going on over there. Leah and Rosalyn can handle it. I'm just worried about you, so I want to stay here for a few more days."

As she spoke, Heidi smelled the smell of alcohol on her fiancé, sniffed hard and frowned.

Because she knew that Aize didn't drink.

But without saying anything more, the two of them took their seats.

Heidi spoke first:

"Is this the house of that woman... Miss Vivian?"

"Yes, it's her family's side house. They moved here temporarily because of some things."

"I see. Are you used to living here?"

"Yes, it's much more comfortable than the military camp."

"Yeah, that's good."

Heidi smiled but was filled with disdain.

The house of an unknown minor noble in the empire, and a secluded one at that, no wonder it is so shabby and old.

Although his own Arte family has declined, the palace that a proper royal family should have has not been lost at all, and it is still magnificent and dazzling.

And this, that's it?

There's such an obvious gap, but Aize just chooses the worse side. What's wrong with his brain?

As expected of a commoner, he is so ignorant that he doesn't even understand why someone from another world comes to the kingdom to beg for food.

Heidi thought so, but still pretended to be very kind and asked:

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to stay here forever instead of returning to the team? Stay with Miss Vivian..."

"I'll be staying here for a while. I'm still thinking about what to do next."

Heidi nodded, feeling a little relieved.

At least I didn't plan to join any faction right away. I still had time...

...No, don't worry at all. The threat posed by that woman is no less than that of a noble.

Thinking of this, Heidi became confused.

She went straight to Aize's house, thinking that the woman would follow her, but now she was nowhere to be seen.

"Um, Miss Vivian isn't home?"

"Yes, but... it's a bit inconvenient to meet people right now."

Heidi was even more confused.

Inconvenient? What inconvenience?

Could it be that... he was frightened by my last words yesterday and didn't dare to come out?

Well, that must be the case. I can't think of any other possibility.

He was so arrogant at the party, mocking and swearing, but actually it was all bluffing. Is he so cowardly?

What a waste.

What a pity, it’s too late. What were you doing before?

If she had been more polite to herself before, Heidi would have been merciful and not bothered with her. But now... haha, I'll just become a stepping stone to win back Aize.

Heidi, in a good mood, smiled unconsciously and said to Aize while the iron was hot:

"Oh right, your injury is finally healed, let's go out for dinner to celebrate."

"Don't go."

Aize refused without hesitation.

(Book friends group: 342735233)

Chapter 39: If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. There’s no reason.

During the two years of their engagement, Heidi Eizer went on only a handful of dates.

She was worried that showing her affection too much would make Aize become too demanding and then make some excessive demands, which would be difficult to deal with.

Anyway, controlling the distance to a level that is just enough to control Aize and push him away at any time is enough to achieve the goal.

Besides, Aize himself is very busy and really doesn't have the time for this.

But on the other hand, as long as Heidi occasionally asks him out, Aize will basically never refuse and will make time no matter how busy he is.

So this time, she was still confident that Aize would agree immediately.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Faced with Aize's firm rejection, Heidi jumped up from the sofa and began to feel at a loss.

"No... not going? Why? I arranged this specifically for you."

Aize sighed and scratched his hair.

In the past, I agreed to Heidi's date invitation just to put on a show for those nobles.

After all, even if you verbally say that you are engaged, others will not believe it so easily, so you always have to find opportunities to act for them.

But now, this fake engagement is no longer necessary to continue, so what reason does Aize have to accompany her?

Not to mention that Villian was still struggling in bed.

He shook his head:

"There's no reason. As long as the injury is healed, there's nothing special to celebrate."

"But--"

"This isn't my first time getting injured. I didn't celebrate my recovery before, so why am I celebrating this time?"

Heidi was speechless for a moment.

After all, the so-called celebration is just an excuse.

According to the agreement, the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, Roderick, has organized a group of people to ambush around the house. All the members are masters of doing dirty work, waiting for the moment Aize leaves and taking action immediately.

A weak woman like Vivian wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

What seemed to be an easy task to her was stuck at the first step, which should have been the easiest.

Heidi panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

She quickly devised a plan and immediately changed her expression, adopting a look of grief and guilt that left her wanting to cry. She spoke in a voice that sounded sincere at first glance:

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I was wrong before... Every time you were hurt, that Leah stopped me from taking care of you!"

"I'm worried about the team's unity being disrupted, and I'm also worried that Leah will get angry and start to bully you even more. I have no choice but to listen to her, thinking that this might be better for you..."

When the performance was so emotional, he even started to wipe away tears.

"But, after being away from you these past few days, I realized how stupid I was before. I was really stupid... So, please, can you give me a chance? A chance to correct my mistakes?"

Heidi's classic move - retreat to advance.

Even though she seemed to be at a disadvantage now, as long as Aize softened his heart and agreed, the positions of the two would immediately reverse the moment the plan was completed.

By then, Aize would be crying and begging him on his knees, so how could he have the nerve to mention this small concession he made today?

What's more, even if this matter is taken seriously, I am not lying and I am not taking the blame.

When Aize was injured before, it was indeed Leah who stopped him from trying to improve his favorability.

The reason is--

"He's so fragile that he can't be left alone. Whose shameful hero is this? You're spoiling him too much!"

Heidi scoffed at Leah's stupid remarks, but it was a good excuse to not take care of Aize. Aize himself didn't seem to care anyway.

Heidi was very confident in her performance and thought it was flawless.

However, seeing her actions, Aize couldn't help but cover his face.

Didn't see it.

Just one word, awkward.

It's so embarrassing, so embarrassing that I can dig out another basement under this house.

I thought that being a little cold to Heidi would indirectly make her realize that her acting skills had been exposed long ago, and thus put their relationship on a smooth path.

In this way, there will be no big trouble and both sides can keep their dignity.

The result was contrary to expectations, and Her Royal Highness's illness seemed to be getting worse.

But no matter what, I can't expose her now.

After all, Vivian is still lying there. If she is really exposed and gets entangled, it will not be possible to get away in a short time.

Not to mention that if she gets angry and starts making a scene here, there's no way to resolve the situation.

I could only sigh deeply and say:

"It's okay, everything that happened in the past is in the past, don't mention it anymore."

Heidi stopped sobbing immediately after hearing this, staring at her tearful eyes and asked:

"You...you don't blame me?"

"Do not blame you."

This answer made Heidi ecstatic:

See, my acting is working!!! He cares about me as much as before!!!

She could hardly suppress her smile and said quickly:

"Then let's go together. I want to have a good chat with you..."

"No, not going."

Aize's still firm answer almost made Heidi fall down on the spot.

“Why on earth?!”

This will never end, Aize can only find an excuse:

"Lord Viscount Sean Edgar asked me to help with some urgent documents. I promised him that I would finish them within the next few days, and I don't plan to leave before then."

Let's put it off for now, and wait until Villian is okay and I'm ready, then make things clear.

Heidi shook her head.

"It's just a moment, it's okay, right?"

"Heidi, you know me well. I will definitely do what I promised."
