"Are you happy now?"

The Duke of Windermere, looking at his daughter who was still happy with her face after finishing the communication with Luo Hang, could not help but tease her while standing beside her with his arms folded.

"No, I didn't. If you hadn't stopped me from helping the doctor, I would have been a part of the scene where Vina and the others were in the spotlight. We in Windermere wouldn't just be cheerleaders."

The short, silver-haired girl pouted deliberately.

"Yes, yes, our Dai Feien has grown up. Compared to staying with her mother, she is more suitable for a man now."

The smile on the Duke's face became even more intense.

"I didn't say that, what's that expression on your face, Mom?"

"hehe--"

The Duke of Windermere laughed twice with merriment.

Seeing that his thin-skinned girl's face was becoming more and more embarrassed and her cheeks were getting redder and redder, the Duke wisely stopped smiling and pretended to change the subject to something more serious:

"Daifen, you are so grateful to have such an excellent partner. When you take over my title, I can safely hand over the duchy to you."

This was originally just a joke, but Dai Feien pursed his lips and showed a concerned look on his face.

"If Dad were still alive, those guys wouldn't be able to make you, Mom, suffer so much."

The Duke of Windermere's marriage to her husband Kent took place at the beginning of the Duke of Windermere's succession to the title. From the very beginning, the Duke of Windermere's image has always been Victoria's sharp sword, and the voices within the territory have always been coordinated by her husband Kent. It can be said that this laid an extremely stable rear for the Duke of Windermere who stood in the front.

But similarly, with Kent's illness and death, the Duke of Windermere, who had never been accustomed to politics from the beginning, reluctantly took over the situation in the territory. However, various problems also made the Duke of Windermere, who was not an expert in politics, show fatigue that was rarely seen outside of the Sword of Victoria.

Why does Dai Feien like Luo Hang more and more?

Of course it’s not because he can still seduce the girl when no one else is around.

Rather, it is because since the Duke of Windermere chose to stand on the side of the King, his successive victories, from public opinion to practical interests, have led to the Duke of Windermere receiving widespread public support within the Duchy.

Those guys who originally used various questions to embarrass her mother had to stop for the time being due to the Duke's rising reputation. The orphan and widowed mother felt more relaxed and powerful surrounded by a group of wolves, and her mother smiled more often.

She certainly had ample reason and a sense of honor to proudly call herself—

I am also a member of Rhodes Island, and I am also a companion of His Majesty the King.

"Daifen..."

Seeing that the daughter he had always protected was no longer a chick, the Duke of Windermere showed a complicated expression on his face for a moment, but as a duke and a mother, she quickly adjusted herself.

"I don't deny that Ken is better at domestic affairs than I am, but Daphne, are you saying that I can't do anything without your father?"

The Duke of Windermere, dressed in military uniform, raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't say that."

Dai Finn shook his head subconsciously, and then when he saw the expression on his mother's face, he knew he had been fooled again.

"Well, really, I'm not a child anymore, Mom."

Dai Feien puffed out his not-so-high chest, his eyes firm, "I have my own decisions and my own companions. Most importantly, with the Doctor here, I can protect you, Mom, from being bothered by those guys."

"Haha, with the Doctor here...having a man backing me up, it's definitely different, my Daphne."

Faced with the girl's resolute look, the Duke, who was her mother, laughed heartily.

"Well,"

Dai Feien's face also turned red. "I know very well that I can't deal with those guys with my current ability. Anyway, you owe the doctor a debt, Mom. I will repay what I owe in the future."

"You girl."

The Duke of Windermere was speechless for a moment.

What do you mean I am in debt too?

It is a very dangerous sign that we, an orphan and a widow, owe others things.

During the years since she lost her husband and became single, there were many people who coveted her and her daughter. Whether politically or with force, she knew very well how to protect herself and her daughter.

However, seeing Delphine's bold expression of "Am I wrong?", the Duke of Windermere was unable to refute him for a moment.

In the current situation, Wellington and Rhodes Island each support a royal bloodline, and the Duke of Caster has been at odds with her since before.

Now that she and Rhodes Island have gained the upper hand, she has no reason and no possibility to leave the camp of Rhodes Island and the King under the current enthusiastic public opinion.

This public opinion is now a strong foundation for her to maintain her voice. Once she loses this foundation and even stands in opposition to those who originally supported her, those forces suppressed by her will certainly not give up the opportunity to kick her when she is down.

On the other hand, unlike those guys who each had their own ambitions, the Duke of Windermere's goal in joining the war was to maintain the continuation of Victoria from the very beginning.

She did not want to be king, and facing future competitors for the throne, she would naturally have to choose a side to support sooner or later.

Shaking his head, the Duke of Windermere finally came to a conclusion:

"A son pays his father's debts, and the same probably applies to his mother's debts. If I ever need to repay a debt, I'll use you, Dai Feien, to pay it off."

"Mom! You have to pay back what you owe! I have to go take care of work first!"

Looking at the girl who hurriedly turned around and ran away, the Duke couldn't help but feel helpless.

"How could my daughter be so inconsiderate that she made me pay off my debts myself..."

Her daughter will inherit her title sooner or later, and by then the entire duchy will belong to Daphne. If she gives her daughter away, wouldn't it be the same as giving away everything she has? What else can she give in return?

It's really sad that her daughter didn't even think about helping her pay it back and let her do it herself.

As for Luo Hang's private life, although she did not accept it, she did not care as much as ordinary people.

As an imperial country, political marriages between high-ranking officials and the royal family were nothing new in Victoria.

Ancient emperors had so many wives, but not all of them were chosen by themselves. For political considerations, they really had to accept many of them.

As for how his daughter would get along with the two kings in the future...

Forget it, she might still have to support behind the scenes for a while longer.

Chapter 4: What flavor does Jenny have with toffee pie? (k)

Rhode Island.

Luo Hang had just finished communicating with the Duke of Windermere and left the communications room. He had just stepped out of the door when he received another communication.

This time it was still a long-distance call, but it was his private call.

After the call was connected, a seductive voice came over immediately.

"I'm jealous, Darling~"

With such a tone and such address, there was no doubt that the person calling this time was his Highness Abrana.

"You want to make the headlines too? With Wellington leading so many influential media outlets, it should be easy with just a word from Her Royal Highness, right?"

Luo Hang easily guessed the reason why Abbrana was jealous. Or rather, he had already thought that a certain princess who was also a candidate for king would be unhappy.

"Hehe, since you understand what I mean, Darling, you should also know that what I'm jealous of isn't the so-called media attention, but the fact that you, Darling, personally arranged such a great opportunity for that lioness, right?"

Abbrana's voice is full of dissatisfaction and has a magnetism and magic that always seduce the heartstrings.

"I gave Darling gifts and helped him, and he almost broke me and my sister. He made me look so humiliating, but I still didn't get such good treatment. What did that lioness do?"

"Well, let me walk around twice with the collar on?"

"...?"

"Or recite the entire text of Self-Cultivation for Pets?"

“…Hehehe,”

Abbrana was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into a series of emotionless laughter.

"It seems I underestimated that lioness. She appeared so dignified in front of the camera, but turned out to be so unbearable in private. If those people who enthusiastically supported their king knew what their king looked like in front of you, Darling, I wonder what expressions they would show."

"Maybe he'll just come after me and kill me."

He listened to the princess's gnashing of teeth with amusement and shrugged his shoulders easily.

It was he who portrayed Vina as the glorious image of His Majesty the King, and it was also he who privately treated His Majesty's glory as a plaything.

I have to say, he is really a bad guy.

"No,"

Abrana's voice suddenly became gentle and sweet. "As expected of my dear, even if I am of Aslan's blood, I will be conquered by you."

"Oh?"

He got in the car, sent a message to Vina asking for her location, forwarded it to Dubin, and continued to talk to Abrana on the phone.

"If my dear princess wants to come, I can prepare a special collar for you that you like."

"Haha, Darling, don't get too complacent before the real results come out. According to my intelligence, there's a big gift waiting for you, Darling. If you're not careful—"

Abbrana paused for a moment, then became unusually sticky.

"I wouldn't mind, darling. I'll tie you to my boat... and let a bunch of girls drain you until you can't even stand up straight in front of me. How about that experience of a reversal of status?"

That seems quite exciting...

"Ah,"

He controlled his own desire to deliver himself to the door, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Then I'll look forward to the scene when we meet next time."

"Okay, Darling~"

Communication hang up.

He really had no idea about Abrana's so-called intelligence and gift, but he would never lose his composure because of other people's danger warnings.

He just needs to prepare himself well, and no matter what happens, he will naturally have the cards to deal with it.

As he was lost in thought, the car he was riding in stopped by the roadside in a very familiar way.

There is nothing wrong with this situation...

"Click."

The car door was opened, and a pair of extremely straight and slender legs wrapped in warm over-the-knee boots with a velvety texture, and blonde hair that still cascaded down the legs, first appeared outside the door.

Next came the long-haired, straight-haired girl from Waifan, who politely folded her hands in front of her and bowed.

"Hello... Doctor."

Seeing the embarrassment of the girl standing outside the car, he smiled gently, took the girl's delicate hand, moved aside, and pulled the girl into the car.

"Come in first, Jenny."

"Yes……"

The girl was led into the car by him and sat in the simple and elegant seat in the back of the car, still looking a little at a loss.

"Close the car door, there are people outside looking in here."

"Ah! Ok, ok—"

Jenny hurriedly turned around and closed the car door beside her.

The space inside the car suddenly became isolated from the world with the dull sound of the car door closing. The outside vision and noise were instantly cut off. As silence suddenly came, the gaze cast at me from the side seemed to become clearer and more perceptible.

Jenny clearly felt her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.

Here is...

Exactly the same as in the textbook...

"..."

The place of confession.

She felt herself going… dry in the mouth.

The Archbishop must be praised for his excellent work, because Luo Hang's daily work often requires running around in different places. In order not to disturb Luo Hang's work, and to have a suitable occasion and free time, the car on the road is indeed an extremely suitable place.

Golding chose this as the teaching setting for confession from the very beginning, and judging by the actual results that followed, it was an excellent decision.

But now I am getting off topic.

"When I saw that the nun who was going to confess today was you, Jenny, I was very surprised. I never thought you would get involved in this matter."

Luo Hang spoke in a rare gentle voice, just like a priest in church helping people solve their problems.

As for whether he had ever thought that Jenny would appear in the confessional nun's file...that was another matter.
