Chapter 2340 Countermeasures
She is lonely and sad, in complete contrast to the noisy crowd.
She was melancholy and helpless, just like a lonely cliff on the seashore, unable to escape the baptism of the scorching sun and the tearing of the sea breeze.
She was the little princess of Dashai City, but when her parents were suffering, she was powerless and could only cry sadly.
She is my fiancée, Cagalli.
The light green grape juice has an intoxicating fragrance, but has a cold color, just like her mood at the moment, which is both longing and sinking.
Sitting opposite her quietly, looking into her sad eyes, I comforted softly: "Don't be sad, there will always be a way."
"Yeah" she responded softly, but I knew that this was just a perfunctory way to comfort me. In fact, she had been confused and at a loss.
So why am I not?
"In a few days, I may ask most of my family members to evacuate Dashai City." After a pause, I apologized: "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." Cagalli smiled sadly, put down the juice cup, and gently covered the back of my hand with her little hand, saying softly: "If you want to blame, only blame my parents, the king or the queen, if you want to blame, only blame my grandfather. I don’t know people well.”
I pursed my lips and said, "If you can blame me, maybe I'll feel better."
Cagalli didn't speak. She was holding back her feelings and suppressing her impulses. This could be felt from her constantly clenched and trembling hands.
A soft cry, as thin as a gnat, undetectable, but accompanied by this soft cry, there was an even more subtle muffled sound.
Along with this muffled sound, a sharp pain came from the back of my hand, making my mouth tremble.
I never expected that the power of grief could be so terrifying.
I looked down at the back of my hand, which was slightly swollen. Without looking, I already knew that the bone under the swollen flesh was undoubtedly broken.
Crushed and broken.
If broken bones can make Cagalli feel better, what if all my bones are broken?
Anyway, it only takes a few hours for the bones to heal. I can still endure the severe pain for several hours.
Perhaps it was because the anger in her heart dissipated along with the force that broke my hand bones, Cagalli's mood seemed to have improved, and she was even able to force a smile, drink with everyone, and gulp down the barbecue.
After they had eaten and drank enough, everyone went to rest, but Cagalli pulled me to the cliff, carrying two bottles of liquor, saying that she wanted to drink and watch the moon.
I knew that the suffocating fire in my heart would not simply pass away. It was better to simply have a drink with her than to be stuffy in my heart.
Sitting on the cliff, the sea breeze was blowing on our bare feet. It felt like a mischievous child was constantly teasing the soles and insteps of my feet with cool silk yarn.
Cagalli rested her head on my shoulder, breathing the fragrance of orchids and wine, telling her about her childhood past.
She said that when she was four years old, she was stung by a wasp. She cried to her father and asked him to help her teach these insects who built a nest indiscriminately.
The orc king did not agree to her request, but took her to the hornet's nest, pointed to the hornet's nest and said to her: Look, it didn't sting us, right?
Cagalli felt aggrieved and did not understand the meaning of the Orc King's words.
The Beastman King explained patiently: "They just want a place to stay. As long as we don't provoke them, tease them, or hurt them, they won't hurt us."
Cagalli breathed out the breath of wine and sneered: "Father, you are wrong, wrong! The old Duke's family is highly trusted by the Fergus family. Grandpa even gave an imperial edict to cooperate with the Fergus family. Glory! Our family has always followed the instructions of our ancestors, not to provoke anyone casually, not to hurt easily, to be tolerant if you can, and tolerant if you can be tolerant. However, the fact is! He turned out to be a powerful official who usurped power, and even imprisoned you and your mother. !”
Shouting and shouting, Cagalli slowly lowered her little fist, placed it on my leg, and beat it gently. While beating, she said painfully: "Father, you always think that only by treating people with sincerity and courtesy can you treat others with sincerity and courtesy." I'm coming here, but, the old Duke is just a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake disguised as a sheep! How could he, who is cold-blooded, be grateful for your courtesy!"
A venomous snake disguised as a sheep?
Why does this metaphor always seem so awkward?
The wine filled my heart with sadness, and soon turned into drunkenness, and with each murmur, I expressed sadness one after another.
I took her into my arms and covered her delicate waist with clothes. I gently hummed a nocturne that was vague in my memory while quietly thinking about the future.
The high priest once said that I will become an indispensable link in the war.
I originally thought she was referring to the battle between Dashai City and Airui City, but now that I look at it, it may be more likely that Dashai City and I will fight.
Old Duke, this old fox, who has always been kind-hearted, turned out to be so vicious after showing his sharp teeth and fangs, which really surprised and troubled me.
What troubles me even more is the adventurers who belong to his command. I believe that they are definitely enough power to stabilize the entire country. Even if it is not such an exaggeration, it can definitely shake the capital of Dashai City. .
That is to say, it can control the existence of city guards, palace guards, and special forces.
Of course, there is another possibility. The city guard, the imperial army, the special forces, and even most of the army in Dasay City are already members of the old Duke.
If it's the first possibility, it's better. Once a war breaks out, only some adventurers will need to be eliminated.
If it is the second type, regardless of the outcome of the war, victory or defeat, Dashai City will definitely experience a catastrophe.
At this time, those countries that still have the energy to fight may come to take a share of the pie.
At that time, Dasai City probably didn't even have the strength to resist, and could only be turned into fish meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.
Cagalli couldn't accept this result even more.
This is a stab into her heart!
What a damn old Duke!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse inwardly.
But now, what should I do?
It is definitely impossible to rescue the Orc King and the Orc Queen, let alone them. Now I am worried that the old Duke and his group will be crazy enough to attack Jin Siqi and others.
What worries me the most is Daphne. Daphne's father is not involved with the military in Dasay City. Even though she has suffered several losses, she is still stubborn and refuses to look back.
Sometimes, I wish I could just give him up and let him fend for himself, but no matter what, he is Daphne's father and my father-in-law.
It’s really, really, helpless!
Forget it, he is just an ordinary merchant anyway. Even if he has some connection with the military, even if he is Daphne's father, so what?
The old Duke is not blind. He should have realized long ago that Mr. Mavro's position in my heart is equivalent to a floating cloud and has no weight at all.
The important thing is his daughter Daphne. As long as I can get Daphne out in advance, as long as I can temporarily block all the news about Mr. Mavro, so that he can't affect Daphne, and he can't affect me indirectly. .
