The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

The former third princess, the Duchess of Lister, who was married to the original owner, looks really good and well-maintained. A woman in her forties looks as young and beautiful as she is in her twenties.

After seeing the other party with his own eyes, Arnold could understand why the original owner couldn't resist the other party's passionate pursuit, and then married him.

Due to her status, Mrs. List asked to see Arnold at the pavilion in the guest courtyard.

Arnold didn't like this lady with disdainful eyes very much, so as soon as she stepped into the gazebo and sat down, she asked bluntly, "I wonder if the Duchess has anything to discuss?"

Helna raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said straight to the point: "Earl Bert must be very clear about the purpose of the king's visit here. I won't go into details."

Hearing this, Anol was taken aback.

Heerna didn't care whether he understood or not, and then asked, "I don't know what you think about this?"

Anol was confused by the question and couldn't answer for a moment.

Seeing that he was silent, Heerna just thought that he was not resisting, but she understood with a smile on her face.

"In this case, we will be a family from now on." Helna raised her hand to beckon to the maid standing beside her, and looked at Anol with a smile and said: "One family does not speak two different languages. I hope you will taste the fine wine brought from the capital."

As her words fell, the maid put down a glass of blood-red wine in front of Anol at the right time.

Already smelling that the glass of wine was poisonous, Arnold: "...?!?"

He couldn't figure it out, how could he attract the murderous intention of this vicious woman even though he had done nothing.

As for the family or something, that is even more nonsense.

Not to mention his own wishes, but the fact that the original owner died at the hands of this woman is doomed. The relationship between them can only become enemies, and it is absolutely impossible to become family members.

If it weren't for the fact that the original owner hadn't mentioned his desire to avenge his own death because of guilt, it would be impossible for Arnold to give a good face to this beautiful, evil, and duplicity poisonous woman.

In this way, let alone become a family.

Arnold stared at the glass of poisoned wine, his thoughts turned sharply, secretly thinking about where this murderous intention came from.

Scenes of the daytime experience flashed through his mind, until he recalled the scenes where King François frequently showed favor to him, and it was only then that Arnold realized something was wrong.

At that time, Arnold only thought that François was showing favor to him frequently because he had the relationship with the dragon god Aogu behind him.

At this moment, it seemed that he had lost his mind.

Thinking about the enthusiasm shown by François when he met him for the first time, combined with the frequent gestures of goodwill during the day, and the words of "family" that the poisonous woman said, Arnold suddenly realized that he seemed to be a Being shown love without knowing it.

After thinking about it again, Francia seemed to have shown her kindness to the original owner frequently, but the original owner mistakenly thought that it was just the brother-in-law's attitude towards her brother-in-law, and completely ignored it.

So, this poisonous woman's murderous intentions must not be caused by this! ?

Thinking of this, Arnold inexplicably felt that he was the truth.

Lowering his eyelids to hide the strangeness in his eyes, Anol calmly picked up the glass of poisoned wine, brought it to his lips and sniffed it lightly under Helna's involuntarily nervous gaze.

Then, he bent his lips and said with a smile: "The wine is fragrant and mellow, and it is worthy of being the fine wine produced in the capital."

Heerna raised her fan to cover her lips, smiling extremely charmingly.

Just looking at the surface, no one would have guessed that there was a knife hidden in that smile.

Arnold just put the wine glass on his lips and sniffed it, then put it back on the table.

Then, without waiting for Helna to speak, he spoke first, "Does the Duchess know that I am an alchemist?"

"I've heard about it." Herna's smile faded a little, and she moved her lips to try to persuade her again, but Anol spoke first again.

"Does the princess know that I am an alchemist who is good at preparing magic potions?"

Hearing this, Hernaton felt something, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

"You..." Helna hesitated for a moment, in order not to make a fuss, she finally didn't express her questioning words.

Arnold looked at her eyes full of surprise and uncertainty, and the corners of his lips slightly raised a smile that was not a smile: "The Duchess is murdering me because His Majesty the King looks at me differently?"

Heerna never expected that he would be able to detect the poison in the wine before he even drank it, and even dared to open up about it.

Seeing that he was so confident, Heerna immediately stopped flirting with him.

As if she had changed her face, she said with a cold face, "So what! I can only blame you for being a man, but you have such an attractive appearance, which attracted my brother to see it." I don't want to marry you if I fall in love with you!"

"A disgusting man like you should have gone to hell a long time ago! If you hadn't always had a giant dragon sitting in Thorn Ridge, and no one dared to accept the reward task for assassinating you, you would have died thousands of times already."

Arnold was not angry at these vicious words, and still had a half-smile on his face. When he opened his mouth again, the maid who was serving by him froze, and almost knocked over the wine by accident. bottle.It made Heerna's face pale, and her murderous intentions became even worse.

"I have heard for a long time that the fifth prince who was not favored back then was able to inherit the throne because of you, who were willing to commit himself to the old Duke of Lister at an age like flowers and jade, and disregarded your reputation and dealt with the old prince after his death. Sister Wang, among the top nobles in the capital, is helping me with all my might."

"Before that, I also said that the rumors should not be completely believed. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed groundless, but my vision is too narrow."

"People in the world only know that you can do this for your younger brother because you must have a deep friendship with his siblings. But no one would have thought that you are actually deeply in love with your younger brother."

"May I ask, your brother knows that you love him deeply, and this "deep love" is not the love of siblings?"

"Nonsense!" Helna was so angry that she slapped her palm on the table, causing the wine glass and fruit plate to fall into pieces.

Since Arnold dared to say it, he had his own grounds.

Those who were fans of the original owner and the authorities could not see the deepest thoughts hidden by this poisonous woman, so it is understandable.

But Arnold, as a bystander, noticed the vicious woman's strange intentions as soon as he received the memory of the original owner.

Although he is a spiritual race, he has also been a human race for decades.

Although I don't have a deep understanding of the intelligent creatures of the human race, I also know that there must be something strange about the purely platonic marriage between such intelligent creatures.

As far as he knows, and as far as he knows from personal experience, platonic marriages are only possible in two cases among intelligent races that require flesh/body/bonding to reproduce.

In these two situations, one is that at least one of the husband and wife must love deeply, and the other is that at least one of the husband and wife must have a heart that belongs to them.

Of course, in addition to this, there may also be situations where both husband and wife love each other deeply, and there may also be situations where both husband and wife belong to each other.

However, this kind of situation is only an example and rarely occurs, so it can be skipped.

As a half-breed elf who grew up in the elf land, the original owner has already adapted ten percent to the elves' traditions and living habits.

Especially in the aspect of indifference and desirelessness, the original owner is even more like a pure elf than those pure blood elves.

This point can be seen just by looking at the original owner who has been married to this poisonous woman for more than [-] years but has never had intercourse.

The original owner really fell in love with this poisonous woman, and he really couldn't have any carnal/desire for her.

This is the reason why the original owner felt guilty towards her. Even if he died at her hands later, the original owner only thought that he had treated her badly, which made her hate him because of love and even killed him.

Perhaps it was because of this that the original owner never mentioned his request for revenge for his own death.

As a bystander who had personal experience in this area, what Arnold saw was not that the vicious woman had no regrets for the original owner at first, but eventually hated her because of her love.

In this way, the thoughts of this poisonous woman are already clearly revealed in his eyes.

Just because in his opinion, if deep love could turn into hate in such a short period of time, then he would probably have died at the hands of Diss many times.

Anol was neither blind nor stupid, so he could tell whether Desi had feelings for him.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't foolishly be his spiritual partner for more than a thousand years just because he didn't want to.

On the other hand, if it weren't for this, Arnold would not have accompanied him obediently for more than a thousand years, and would not leave that world until after his death.

Thinking of these past events, Arnold's thoughts couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.

In fact, before this, Arnold was still very puzzled, who is this poisonous woman pretending to be, so that she can make her a dignified princess of a country keep her mouth shut, and only bury that feeling deeply in her heart.

It was not until today that Arnold saw something strange from the eyes of the poisonous woman looking at her brother.

Because when the vicious woman looked at Francia, the look in her eyes was really similar to the strange look in Zengdis's eyes when she looked at him.

Arnold suddenly understood at that time, and even vaguely noticed the cause of the original owner's death because of this.

These are the real reasons why Arnold dared to assert that this poisonous woman secretly admires her brother.

It's a long story, but in fact, all these thoughts flashed by, and it only took a few breaths of time.

The slammed table in front of him was still shaking.

At the table, Arnold sat as firmly as a mountain, with that half-smile still on his face, but every word he said was filled with unparalleled malice.

"Is it nonsense? The Duchess knows better than anyone else, doesn't she?! The Duchess thinks that a man like me who attracts men's hearts deserves more death, or a man like you who violates ethics and misses his brother Women should die even more?!"

The words were about to fall, and the joy that was about to rise in Heerna's eyes froze.

I saw Arnold tilt his head slightly, avoiding the sharp knife close to his neck, and while getting up slowly, he said softly: "This is the second time the Duchess has shot at me. Seeing that François once For the sake of helping me, I will not kill you tonight. But I will repeat it again and again. If the Duchess dares to attack me again, then don't blame me for being rude. I hope the Duchess will take care of herself."

After saying that, Anol turned around and walked out of the gazebo. He waited until he got out of the gazebo, and then restrained the mental power barrier used to suppress the maid killer.

Nick, who was waiting outside the courtyard, saw him coming out, quickly raised the oil lamp, looked him up and down several times, and only after confirming that there was nothing unusual about his appearance, did he feel relieved and turned around to lead him the way.

Arnold glanced at him and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Nick paused slightly, laughed dryly, and said, "Isn't it worried that you will be seduced by beauty? The Duchess of Lister has been a widow for many years, and all the romantic affairs she had in the capital have spread to our Thorn Ridge. Now she is three Please go over in the middle of the night, I thought she was not kind to you either."

Really upset.Anol said something in his heart.

Away from the guest courtyard, Nick wanted to lead him to the main courtyard, but unexpectedly, just as he was about to turn the corner, Anol said: "Go to the stable."

Nick turned and walked another way, and asked, "It's so late, you want to go back to the manor outside the city?"

Arnold: "Yeah."

Nick: "Then don't you have to come over early tomorrow to entertain His Majesty the King?!"

Anol: "If the king asks about me tomorrow, you can tell him that I was called back by Orgus. If he wants to see me, you can just lead him to the backyard of the manor."

Nick was stunned: "Are you going to let me stay here to entertain the king?!"

Arnold: "Exactly."

While the two were talking, the stable arrived.

Arnold entered the stable alone, took off the reins, and rode away, leaving Nick alone in the wind.

At the same time, in the pavilion of the guest courtyard.

The maid who regained her mobility put away her sharp blade and knelt on the ground with a bang: "This subordinate failed to fulfill the princess's order, I hope the princess will forgive me!"

Herna's face was ashen and said: "What happened just now?!"

The maid said truthfully: "Earl Burt released the domain, and his subordinates were invincible, and they were stopped from moving."

Heerna said in astonishment: "Domain?! So, he has already entered the state of demigod, and he is stronger than you?!"

The maid replied, "Yes."

Heerna murmured: "So that's the case, no wonder even you can't help him."

Seeing this, the maid couldn't help persuading her: "Princess, although his domain is not large, it has already taken shape. His strength is already unmatched by anyone, not to mention that there is a dragon god sitting behind him. If we continue to provoke him, it will be a waste of money." Unwise move. I hope the princess thinks twice."

Herna's complexion changed slightly, and her eyes were filled with viciousness: "No! He must die! François is madly in love with him, and will marry him as a queen no matter what. If he doesn't die, won't my country of Ke Lan You will become the laughing stock of the world!"

Speaking of this, Heerna's face changed instantly, tears glistened in her beautiful eyes, she got up and threw herself into the arms of the maid, crying and begging: "Eileen, you will help me, right?! I only have you Now, you won't care about me, will you?!"

The maid was silent for a long time before she raised her arms to embrace the beautiful woman in her arms, and murmured softly, "This subordinate is your sword and will always be."

Helna laughed through her tears and hugged her tightly.

The moon is as cool as water, and the sky is full of stars.

No one can see the scene of deep love between master and servant in the pavilion of the guest courtyard.
