Chapter 586, Stubborn Sylvia
For Sylvia, Ryan's perception is actually quite complicated.
On the one hand, Su Liya's maid has never been able to deal with him very well. She often confronts him, and often criticizes some of his practices and things that are not in line with noble etiquette, which makes Ryan feel a little headache.
On the other hand, Sylvia's actions were not unreasonable. Ryan's actions did not conform to noble etiquette. Sylvia's criticism of him was well-founded, and she did not hold on to power. When Ryan After returning, she did hand over all power very readily.
So this chick is messing with herself! This is Ryan's perception that she is not maliciously against herself, but just expressing her dissatisfaction in this way.
So where is Sylvia's core dissatisfaction?
Ryan felt that he had too many female courtiers and maids, which caused the maid's dissatisfaction.
"What's the matter, Sylvia, what's the matter with you?" Ryan felt that Sylvia was obviously in trouble, but she just didn't want to say it. The Duke himself approached the maid with small steps and squatted down: "What's the matter?" ?”
"Don't, don't come~" Sylvia's face was flushed, she seemed to be enduring something, seeing Ryan approaching, her face couldn't help panic, she wanted to move but felt powerless, she could only Repeatedly stopped: "Don't come over!"
"What's going on?" Ryan was even more worried. He approached quickly, held Sylvia's wrist rather domineeringly, and put a hand on her forehead: "Your face is fine." It's red, but I don't have a fever either."
"Oh!" Sylvia struggled hard, and the maid wanted to push Ryan away with her hands, but Ryan's body was as solid as a dwarf-fortified city wall, and he couldn't push it at all: "You, let me go, You bastard, don't do this!"
"Then tell me, what's going on? Are you feeling unwell?" Ryan found that Sylvia did not have a fever, nor was she unconscious or corrupted, but her face was very red, and he pulled the head maid When I got up, I found that Sylvia was still a little unsteady: "What happened? Do you want me to let the prophet of the Lake God or the doctor from the Salia Hospital look at it for you?"
"No, I'm really fine." Sylvia's face turned redder, and she shook her head desperately: "I'm just a little tired."
"You won't tell me?" Ryan smiled maliciously, and he held the head maid's wrist: "If you don't say anything else, I will..."
Today's head maid wears a standard black and white maid uniform, and also wears a knight sword, but it is slightly different from the dark elves,
Dark elves always look quite coquettish in this maid outfit, but Sylvia still looks heroic and serious in this maid outfit. Even the beautiful legs under the maid skirt are wearing the slightly thick white velvet stockings. Paired with standard black leather shoes with a little heel, she blushed, with some helplessness and anger in her purple eyes: "My lord duke, please respect yourself!"
"Self-respect?" Ryan knew how stubborn Suria's maid was. He thought for a while and felt that too much persecution might backfire, so he let go of Sylvia and complained: "You are Su Leah's maid, Sylvia, you make me respect myself?"
"Well~" Sylvia also felt that there was something wrong with what she said. As Suria's dowry, she should have belonged to Ryan, and it was wrong to make him respect himself from any angle.
But thinking of this, the head maid felt an unknown flame in her heart again. She snorted coldly, bit her lips, then drooped her hands in front of her body, and barely stood up: "Okay, we've been wasting a lot of time... I ..."
Before the words fell, Sylvia squatted down again: "Um~"
Ryan sighed lightly, and he clapped his hands: "Come on!"
"Yes! My Duke, what are your orders?" A maid came up quickly in the castle. The maid was only fifteen or sixteen years old and was very happy to see Ryan take the initiative to order: "Please order."
"Go and tell Earl Durin and Earl Larotte that I have something to do in the evening, and the meeting will be changed to tomorrow night." Ryan said lightly: "Go now."
"Wait!" Sylvia hurriedly said: "I'm fine, the meeting tonight is a big event, don't delay the meeting because of my business."
"This..." The maid was a little hesitant, because when Ryan was not around, because Suria was pregnant, everything in the entire castle was actually managed by Sylvia. At this time, she was facing different orders from the Duke and the head maid. , she didn't know what to do.
But Ryan's prestige is unmatched after all, the maid finally bowed to Ryan to express her understanding, and then left quickly, no matter how much Sylvia yelled, it was useless.
"Okay, now can you tell me what's going on?" Ryan went to Sylvia again and squatted down, the Duke smiled and said: "Because of you, the evening meeting has been cancelled, dear Sylvia Via, do you still want to cancel tomorrow's meeting because of your resistance?"
"...This is not the same thing!" The head maid looked at Ryan with resentment.
"Now, that's the same thing, Sylvia, my head maid, your refusal to cooperate really bothers me, really." Ryan said with a smile: "If the maids are as uncooperative as you are, I, as the Duke How do you work?"
"No, don't be here." Sylvia's face turned green and pale for a while, and she finally gave in. The head maid said in a low voice, "Change to another place."
"Okay." Ryan hugged Sylvia by the waist.
A few minutes later, the guest room on the third floor of the castle was single.
Ryan put Sylvia on the sofa chair, and then the Duke sat opposite her and said with a smile, "Now, can you talk?"
"Yes... it was done by your personal dark elf maid!" Sylvia leaned on the sofa chair a little limply, trying to make herself sit upright. The head maid blushed and said in a hateful voice: "She is I moved my limbs!"
"Why? Olika promised me that she would not cause trouble. Did you provoke her? Sylvia, I need you to tell me the truth." Ryan still felt a little strange after hearing this, and he immediately asked : "Otherwise I can't help you."
As if remembering something unbearable, the maid pretended to blush even more, she gritted her teeth: "I just entered her place."
"You entered the Pale Garden?!" Ryan immediately understood, and the Duke immediately asked: "Isn't it because it is the place where Orika makes potions and conducts magic experiments, so anyone is forbidden to enter without invitation?" ?”
"So what? Now is the critical moment, how can I allow a restricted area in the castle that cannot guarantee safety?" Sylvia twisted her body uncomfortably, and she tried to say: "Two days ago , I finally found a chance to go in, and it turned out that the dark elf had discovered my intention..."
Sylvia slowly told Ryan about the matter.
Sylvia was discovered by Olika immediately after entering the pale courtyard. The dark elves were of course dissatisfied with someone ignoring the prohibition and breaking into their territory. Ryan's personal maid and the head maid immediately had a duel in the pale courtyard .
"You lost?" Ryan was a little amused. As the master, he knew the strength of the dark elves best.
"I'm no match for her... She beat me and tied me to the rack." Sylvia was very embarrassed to say the humiliation, but she finished: "She said, she said if it was Someone broke into her courtyard, she would definitely cut off his limbs and make him an experiment, but she couldn't do that to me, so she...she took out a pink potion, put it on some parts of me Smudge it once and put a curse on it, let me go, and I'm just...becoming like this."
"Okay, I see, I will tell Olika about this matter, but Silvia, you should also pay attention, Olika has my permission to build the Pale Garden, so don't be so self-righteous next time Already." Ryan frowned slightly, thinking that both parties were wrong in this matter, Sylvia shouldn't have broken into the Pale Garden without Olika's permission, but Olika shouldn't have used lynching either: "But What are you going to do now? I'll ask Orika to prepare the antidote for you?"
"No... that dark elf said that there is only one way to cure this medicine." The head maid blushed.
"To do something like that?" Ryan frowned, what is this?
"No, it's not what you think, you just..." The head maid shook her head vigorously, and then she told the dark elf's trick, how to temporarily undo the effect of the medicine and the curse of Orika.
It was indeed a vicious trick, and after Ryan heard it, he knew what the dark elves were thinking.
This is indeed only for Ryan to help.
"Oh well."
……… I am the dividing line of vicious little tricks………
Twenty minutes later, inside the castle, the lady's garden.
Ryan was walking in the garden with his hands behind his back. Sylvia in the maid outfit blushed and followed behind with some unsteady steps. From time to time, she thought of the previous things in her mind, and every time she thought about it, she felt that her brain was rushing. Smoke, may faint at any time.
"Feeling better? Sylvia?" Ryan looked at the midsummer night sky and listened to the cicadas in the garden. The expression on the Duke's face was a little painful.
It was a special way to detoxify and break the curse. He really didn't know whether to praise the dark elf's whimsy or criticize her recklessness.
"It's much better, thank you, Your Excellency Ryan." Sylvia blushed: "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble and delaying the evening meeting."
"It's nothing, by the way, can I call you Sylvie? Just like Su Liya called you?" Ryan said casually as the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
The Duke felt that it was time for him to figure things out.
"If you insist." Sylvia lowered her head. After what happened just now, she felt ashamed to look at Ryan.
"I always feel that you... seem to hate me, Sylvie." Ryan smiled bitterly. He and Sylvia have known each other for many years. It has been almost ten years since he came to the Knight Kingdom, Sylvie Ya has also grown from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to a twenty-five-year-old woman, but her attitude remains the same: "It has been for so many years."
"...I have never hated you, Your Excellency Ryan, you are the embodiment of chivalry virtues, your strength, glory, and wisdom have saved this country several times in times of crisis, and you have proved your strength time and time again, You are flawless, I have nothing but respect and admiration for you." Sylvia immediately denied Ryan's point of view, and she added anxiously: "I swear to the lady!"
"Then you think I'm not good enough for your lady?" Ryan knew that Sylvia would not lie, so he continued to ask.
"Is there a better marriage partner than you in this kingdom?" Sylvia denied Ryan's point of view again, and the head maid shook her head again and again: "I will not lie to myself, your marriage with Miss is successful and happy , even I can't find any faults, Miss is the future queen, you really treat her very well, I have no objection."
"Uh... Then you think I have many women besides Suria? So I don't like me?" Ryan was a little embarrassed. He was really sorry for Suria, so he made a promise with Suria before marriage. , There will be no more people, and the female knight agrees.
"...His Excellency Duke Francois has twice as many female courtiers than you. As a duke, you only have two female courtiers, Ms. Teresa and Ms. Veronica. This number is the least among the dukes. That's right, although I am sorry for the miss, but I also know that there is no way to do it, and I have never hated you because of this." Sylvia still denied: "As for the maid, it is even more so, what happened to you The only ones who have had a relationship from the beginning to the end are Ms. Emilia and that dark elf, right?"
So why do you dislike me? ! Ryan slandered in his heart, he thought to himself that he must figure out this matter today, and then resolve the misunderstanding, and everything will be happy at home.
The hot summer night wind blows through the garden, swaying back and forth in the sea of purple-gold flowers. Normally, the flowering season of irises is May, which has already passed, but both the fairy in the lake and Suria like irises, so Watered by the divine power of the goddess, the flowering period of the iris in the garden of the Duke's castle lasts for several months.
Gorgeous, bright and free, but also a symbol of love, Ryan felt the faint fragrance of flowers, he thought for a while, and asked again: "So, is it because of my policy? You don't like me building old guards and promoting serfs, Introducing dwarven technology?"
"No, I agree with His Excellency Ryan's point of view, and I also think this country needs to be changed." Sylvia still denied it.
"???" Ryan was really confused now, he thought for a long time, and felt that there was no other reason.
Ryan's status is not what it used to be now. As the most powerful man in Brittany, he would be cheap and frivolous if he kept asking questions one after another. Ask again.
There was silence in the garden.
"..." Seeing that Ryan stopped asking, the head maid showed a look of surprise on her face. She thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "I have never been dissatisfied with you before, Mr. Ryan, if you say yes, That also started three years ago."
three years ago? Ryan thought that wasn't the time when he and Suria got married?
But Sylvia said that she didn't think that Suria was not good enough for her, nor that she felt sorry for Suria because she had too many women.
Then the question came back again, why was Sylvia dissatisfied with herself three years ago?
Ryan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why.
"I didn't expect His Excellency Ryan Machado, who has always been famous in the old world for his iron will, excellent internal affairs ability, superb military command ability and outstanding personal bravery, would not understand such a trivial matter." Sylvia's Her tone became cold again, she turned around and was about to leave: "Okay, I should go back."
"Wait!" Ryan thought that I would figure it out today: "Sylvie, don't rush back, the opportunity is rare, come hang out with me! We can go to the Holy Grail Praise bar in the center of Jean's town for a drink A glass."
"...Is this a formal invitation? Or an order?" The head maid said in a firm tone, "Can I refuse?"
"This is my sincere invitation. I find that we really have very little time to be alone." Ryan said with sincerity: "I think it is necessary for us to communicate."
"...I'll go back and change." The head maid finally let go.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Remember the URL of this site, www. biquxu. Com, convenient for reading next time, or Baidu input " ", you can enter this site
