Chapter 859: Girls’ Thoughts

"Mom, I'm back!"

Entering the room, Illya showed a happy smile and threw herself at Ai Li, who hugged Ilia and stroked her hair. Feeling Ai Li's touch, Illya also narrowed her eyes and showed a happy smile.

"How's it going? Illya? Is it fun outside?"

"Well, it's very interesting. An and Gu Leiya took me to many places, which was very interesting."

"Thank you."

"Ah, you're welcome."

Facing Aili's thanks, An smiled and waved her hand.

"We have nothing to do anyway...and Illya is also very cute."

"Then let's take our leave first."

Gu Leiya replied in a low voice, then bowed to Ai Li and turned to leave.

"Oh... Illya is such a cute and smart child."

After leaving Ai Li's room and coming to the corridor, An couldn't help but sigh.

"I really want to have a lovely daughter."

"Ah, um..."

Hearing An's emotion, Gu Leya just responded casually, but An obviously seemed dissatisfied with Gu Leya's answer, and she turned her head and stared at Gu Leya again.

"I would also like to give birth to a lovely daughter!"

"Why?"

Hearing An repeat it word for word, Gu Leiya was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was saying.

"Yes, but we are all women..."

"Of course it's not you! It's Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight!"

Looking at Gu Leiya who was blushing, An sighed helplessly.

"We are Mr. Knight's fiancee, shouldn't we be more conscious? There are more and more women around Mr. Knight, and we also need to have a sense of crisis."

"A sense of crisis?"

"Yes, it's okay to be like Miss Leia and Miss Kanami...but Miss Mary, Miss Ellie and Miss Medea are all powerful enemies!"

What An said is not completely unreasonable. In their opinion, people like Leah and Kanami will only visit them when Duanmuhuai goes to their world. It's like a nobleman keeping a lover outside, so An doesn't particularly care about it. It's like border officials or royal city officials. It's almost obvious who gets more attention.

However, as the number of girls around Duanmuhuai increased, An gradually developed a sense of crisis. Especially Ai Li and Medea - they are Duanmu Huai's followers, which means they will be with Duanmu Huai anytime and anywhere. And more importantly, the two parties also have a contract called "Command Spell", which makes An very jealous.

In addition, Ai Li has a child named Ilia, which is a big advantage in An's eyes - a beautiful mother and lovely daughter, which will naturally make Duanmu Huai pay more attention to them. Although Ilia is not technically Duanmuhuai's daughter, who wouldn't like such a cute child? She is smart, cute and lovable.

Isn't it the same in the palace? A princess who gives birth to a child is more concerned by the king, while a princess who cannot give birth to a child will sooner or later be relegated to the cold palace.

And An also felt that because of Illya's existence, Ellie also had a maternal aura charm.

This is something that little girls like them can't learn from movies. This is really only available to women with children!

Of course, apart from that, in Ann's view, their biggest competitor is Mary.

It was obvious that Duanmu Huai treated what happened in Mary's world as his top priority. This time too, it was obvious that Mary was just here to seek some reinforcements. If it were another planet, Duanmu Huai would directly send a team of night guards to solve the problem. After all, there didn't seem to be a particularly strong threat. However, as soon as Mary asked for help, Duanmu Huai went directly in person. In An's view, this was somewhat of a differential treatment.

In addition, Duanmu Huai almost always takes Mary with him, no matter what world he goes to, so that Ogis is jealous - this is normal. There are some worlds that Ogis cannot go to, but Mary can Being able to go...well, it's natural that Ogis would be unhappy.

Although An also knew that for Duanmu Huai, Mary's golden eyes were really powerful, and he would always wear them if necessary.

But... love grows over time!

Even if Mary doesn't have this intention for Duanmu Huai now, who can say for sure after a long time? Besides, Mary is also well-educated and well-mannered, and her manners are very good. Even from Ann's point of view, she is no worse than the eldest ladies trained by the high-ranking noble families in Manalia. She herself seems to be the same. I don’t hate Duanmuhuai……

"The length of time we spend together will develop deep feelings. Look, Miss Lumière... Well, take a step back. Even if we believe that she and Mr. Duanmu did nothing in that future, they But after being together for sixty years, they are almost like an old couple! Do you understand? "

An stretched out his hands, held Gu Leya's shoulders, and spoke earnestly.

As the princess of Manalia, although An has an innocent personality, she has learned a lot about emperors. Therefore, An knows very well that in many cases, the harem is actually no different from royal politics. You have been with the emperor all year round, so the relationship between the emperor and you is of course better than others. A "frontier official" like Leah, even though his status is more important, but he is not in the royal city all year round, he does not need to be counted as an opponent at all.

But Mary and Ellie are new important officials. They are also in the center of the royal city. Their influence and status are naturally incomparable.

An herself has always worked hard. For example, every time Duanmu Huai wants to do something, she will take the initiative to help.

But the problem is...

"Do you understand what I mean? Gu Leya?"

Looking at her friends in front of her, An felt a sense of disappointment. Originally, the two of them were Duanmu Huai's fiancées, the most legitimate. But Gu Leya was introverted and not good at communicating with people. Secondly, she seemed to be a little afraid of Duanmu Huai, so she gradually became a little alienated from Duanmu Huai.

This also made An anxious. Of course, she knew what Gu Leya was afraid of, because as a good friend, Gu Leya had talked to her about what Duanmu Huai had said to her. Indeed, Gu Leya was not very good at dealing with the human supremacist court of justice.

And Gu Leya's original personality was a bit negative, and she was not very good at taking the initiative.

This might be okay in school, but working in the court is another matter.

"Listen, Gu Leiya, the more this happens, the more you have to be proactive!"

"I, I know, so every time Mr. Knight asks me to do something, I do it..."

"This won't work!"

An shook his head vigorously, interrupting Gu Leiya's defense.

"Listen carefully, you don't have to wait for Mr. Knight to tell you to do it. You must be more proactive and take the initiative to show Mr. Knight that you are willing to help! Whether Mr. Knight agrees to your request is one thing, but you must show your attitude, so that Mr. Knight will know that you are willing to help him. Otherwise, if he always gives orders and you do it, then Mr. Knight may think that you don't like to do it and will not take you with you in the future!"

"But... for the sake of humanity, eliminating other races is really... "

"Ah... "

Hearing Gu Leiya's answer, An also sighed silently. The human supremacy of the Inquisition is indeed a problem. Of course, in the eyes of An, who is also a human, this is actually not a big problem, but for Gu Leiya, who is a mixed-race... it seems to be another matter.

"Haven't we read the rules of the Inquisition? Aliens refer to other races that are completely outside of humans, and we have seen along the way that no matter whether it is the Star Alliance or anything else, as long as it is a race outside of humans, it will eventually betray humans, so it is understandable that the Inquisition has such an attitude. I think you shouldn't think too much, Gu Leiya, after all, aren't you also recognized by the Inquisition? Otherwise, Mr. Knight would not agree to you building a city for dragon people in the Duel City."

"……………… Yeah."

Hearing An's answer, Gu Leiya thought for a moment and finally nodded, which made An relieved and smiled again.

"Okay, you should be more proactive in facing Mr. Knight in the future, and I will help."

"Okay, but………………"

"But?"

Facing An's curious gaze, Gu Leiya blushed and her eyes wandered. Then she raised her head and looked at An uneasily.

"What if... I mean what if... our child looks as fierce as Mr. Knight..."

"... This is indeed a problem."

At this moment, even An, who is optimistic by nature, couldn't help but worry.

"Ah---choo--!"

Duanmu Huai sneezed violently, and at the same time, he threw a punch that was off-center, and the bone spur of the one-eyed ghoul also hit his head, and then it broke into pieces like plaster hitting the wall.

"Hey? Mr. Duanmu, are you okay?"

Seeing this scene, Mary was also quite surprised.

"Do you have a cold?"

"No, I guess someone is plotting against me behind my back."

Duanmu Huai wiped his nose, and then looked at the huge ghoul in front of him again. Unlike the short stature of the green-haired woman, the ghoul she created was extremely tall. Fortunately, there are no secrets in front of the golden pupil. Mary saw through the huge body of the ghoul in front of her at a glance. It was just her shell. In fact, the green-haired woman was hiding in this huge shell, just like a driver controlling a biological robot.

Now that we know what's going on, it's much simpler.

Duanmu Huai sniffed, then reached out again and grabbed the ghoul in front of him tightly. At this moment, the entire lobby on the first floor of the Countermeasures Bureau had been completely evacuated, and other investigators also rushed over after hearing the news, but they had no way to intervene in the battle in front of them. All they could see was Duanmu Huai and the one-eyed ghoul punching and kicking like Ultraman fighting a small monster.

Fortunately, Duanmu Huai still had one more helper than Ultraman.

"Hah——!"

Duanmu Huai once again punched away the bone spurs fired by the one-eyed ghoul, and seeing that there were more and more investigators around, the one-eyed ghoul also tried to turn around and run away. However, Duanmu Huai took the opportunity to rush over, grabbed the body of the one-eyed ghoul with both hands, and lifted it high.

"Mary!"

"Yes, Mr. Duanmu!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's voice, Mary also hurriedly raised the staff in her hand, pointed it forward, and then pulled it back. As Mary moved, the roaring magic energy began to condense at the tip of her staff. Then, Mary held the staff tightly, aimed forward, and pushed forward.

Soul torrent!

“Boom———————!”

The shining magic beam directly penetrated the tall body of the one-eyed ghoul held up by Duanmu Huai, tore its head, and blasted a big hole in the middle of the one-eyed ghoul's body.

And then, the one-eyed ghoul just struggled for a while, and then completely scattered, turning into a pile of tattered flesh and blood.

“Huh, done.”

Duanmu Huai threw away the broken body, looked at the other investigators next to him, and then curled his lips.

“It seems that the security of your Countermeasures Bureau is not very good.”
