Chapter 163

"Uh..." Lianka was stunned for a moment, recalling what she had just said.

"I mean...even if the dance partner who ran away was Orson, I wouldn't take it seriously, let alone anyone else."

"Oh, so that's it." Olivia smiled and nodded. "As expected of my good sister Lianka, she has high standards!"

…

The next morning, Orson opened his eyes hazily and saw another small bag bulging under the quilt. He sighed helplessly.

Then, he stood up, lifted Li Te who was still sleeping by the back of his neck, and put him back on her bed.

After coming downstairs and washing up, he heard a knock on the door.

Opening the door, she found Lianka standing at the door.

"Well, even though you left halfway yesterday, Orson, I still appreciate your willingness to take time to accompany me. These are cookies that my sister and I learned to make. If you don't mind, just...just accept them."

"Ah, thank you, Lianka." Orson said, nodded, and then welcomed Lianka into the room.

"Last night, I'm really sorry. Lite suddenly felt unwell..." Sitting at the dining table, Orson poured two cups of tea for himself and Lianka, and then the two of them sat and drank tea while enjoying Lianka. Cookies made from card.

As expected of what I learned from Olivia, the biscuits are crispy and sweet, perfect for eating as a snack.

"But I think Lite was fine before." Lianka bit off a piece of biscuit and looked at Orson doubtfully.

"Well... Lite's physical condition is quite special. Only the relatives around him know about it, so it's inconvenient to tell you Lianka. I'm really sorry."

"Well, I'm sorry, I asked about something unpleasant."

"It's okay, it's okay." Orson shook his head.

"By the way, Orson, there is actually one more thing I have to do this time." Lianka slowly spoke after eating a few more biscuits.

Chapter 63: Teach me!

"What's going on?" Orson looked at Lianka and asked doubtfully.

"It's just... um..." Liancca paused for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but please don't tell your sister. Even if your sister asks, don't tell her. "

"As for the price... I can do whatever you want me to do."

"Is it really okay to do anything?" Orson said, looking at Lianka.

Feeling the tone of Orson's words, Lianka's face instantly turned red and she quickly shook her head.

"Of course not that kind of thing!"

"Well, that's boring." Orson said, shaking his head.

"Then I can't agree to it. After all, I don't have anything you need to do."

"Ugh, is there really no leeway at all?" Lianka said, her eyes filled with tears, looking very aggrieved. "Then...if it's not too much, it's not impossible..."

The further back she spoke, the thinner her voice became.

"Okay, that's what you said." Orson said, putting his hands on Lianka's shoulders.

Lianka blushed and closed her eyes, her heart beating fast.

"Lianka, go back immediately and tell your sister that you invited me to the masquerade yesterday. Isn't this too much?"

"Hey!???" She looked at Orson in surprise, and then quickly said: "Isn't this right?"

"What's wrong? I didn't violate your request." Orson said, and sat down with a smile.

"Think about it, Lianka, you asked me not to

Tell Olivia, right? "

"Yeah." Lianka nodded.

"Then, if I ask you to do something without violating your request, it is also what you promised me, right?"

"Yeah." She nodded again.

"So, I asked you to tell Olivia this, is there any problem?"

"It seems..." Lianka was about to say no, but then she shook her head. "No, no! It's not like this. I don't want you to tell my sister. The purpose is to prevent her from knowing about this matter. So if you ask me to do this, it will be meaningless if I ask you to keep it a secret!"

"Tsk." Seeing that he didn't scare the girl, Orson secretly clicked his tongue.

"So, apart from this condition, I can promise you anything else, even if..."

"Okay." Orson's tone returned to normal and his expression became serious. "Listen, Lianka, I will help you keep this matter a secret, just treat it as a girl's willfulness, but you have grown up and are no longer a child."

"There are some things that I don't want to say too clearly, as this will only damage the relationship between the two of us."

When it's time to draw a clear line, you have to say this. Orson knows that this bad guy can only be himself, otherwise it will only make Lianka go further and further down the wrong path.

"If you want to go home and play pretend games, I don't mind playing with you, but if you want to take it seriously, please forgive me for refusing."

"...Why?" Lianka looked at Orson in confusion.

"Am I... bad?"

"You're not bad, but I already have your sister as my fiancée. I don't want to make the relationship weirder, and I don't want outsiders to look at me like a scumbag."

"But what if this is all of my own free will?"

"Voluntary?" When Orson heard this, he laughed.

"Lianka, you don't know what you thought of me when you first entered school last semester, right? Your attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. If I tell you this, will you believe it? ?”

"That's right." Lianka nodded after hearing this.

"Sorry, Orson, I'm too naive. I just want to take back what originally belonged to me."

Hearing Lianka's words, Orson immediately realized that something was wrong.

This girl knew what Olivia did?

Orson didn't have time to think about it, Lianka raised her head and looked at Orson again.

"Then, I'll change to a simpler request, this request will definitely not make you embarrassed, Orson."

"Uh... you say, as long as I can do it."

"Orson, please let me become like Lit!"

In Lianka's view, Lit can become an outstanding talent today, which is inseparable from Orson's training room.

If I also accept Orson's training, I will definitely be more powerful than now, right?

Moreover, when I become stronger, I can also do some things naturally.

"I swear, as long as you are willing to teach me, Orson, I will never have any complaints, and I will bear all the costs in the middle."

Looking at such a serious little girl, Orson also fell silent.

Should I teach her?

After a long time, Orson nodded slowly.

From an emotional point of view, it is okay to help his future sister-in-law.

From the perspective of interests, it is not bad to have one more powerful ally, or helper.

…

At noon the next day, in a high-end restaurant outside the Imperial Academy.

"Orson, when will His Royal Highness come?" Rosalin sat next to him, looking at Orson next to her, looking a little expectant and a little anxious.

"His Royal Highness said that some soldiers who violated military discipline in the military camp outside the city need to be punished this morning before coming." Orson said as he sat next to Rosalin.

For the next period of time, both of them remained silent.

On the other side, Arthas had just returned to the imperial city.

He received Orson's letter last night and then replied kindly.

Although Orson is no longer the designated heir of the Dukedom of Antica, it would be great if he could win Orson to serve him.

Rather, it was because Orson lost the right to inherit the fiefdom that made Arthas want to win Orson even more.

With such a capable person, he could definitely create a prosperous era by assisting himself, and it was not impossible to expand the imperial power to an unprecedented level.

Although his ambition was not small, he restrained himself instantly after being suppressed by himself, which was enough to show that he could still control Orson with the imperial power.

Therefore, when he received the letter, Arthas did not consider the other contents in the letter.

In his opinion, the most important thing was to build a good relationship with Orson, rather than to meet other women.

So, when Arthas arrived at the restaurant, Orson and Rosaline stood up to greet him at the same time, and Arthas ran directly to Orson.

"Mr. Orson, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as high-spirited as before!" Arthas said politely, and then praised Orson.

"Thanks to the sand table idea you told me before, I immediately promoted it to the whole army after returning to the imperial city, and all the generals praised this sand table!"

The two continued to chat for a long time, all about military affairs, and Rosaline next to them couldn't interrupt for a while.

Speaking of which, Arthas has no wife at such an old age, and no female objects of scandal. Could it be that he is not interested in women?

Thinking of this, Rosaline's eyes became complicated when she looked at Arthas and Orson.

Chapter 64: Chess piece? Hero?

Arthas chatted with him for a while, and then turned his attention to Rosaline.

"Who is this lady?"

Seeing Arthas's eyes, Rosaline suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Well... well, Your Highness, hello, my name is Rosalin, the daughter of General Scaloni. I wonder if you still recognize me. I once saw you when I went to the military camp with my father when I was a child..."

"General Scaloni's daughter." Arthas nodded when he heard this.

Then he sat down.

Seeing Arthas sitting down, Orson and Rosalin followed suit.

Arthas's expression had changed from the excitement when he just met Orson to the calmness now.

Although Arthas knew about this from Orson's letter, when he met Rosalin in person, Arthas still looked down on her.

It's not that he really has a problem with his sexual orientation, but that this kind of girl who seems ordinary and confident to him really has no charm.

Moreover, before he becomes emperor, he is not ready to put his energy on women.

After all, he can't leave his father with the impression of indulging in beauty.

So, Arthas himself did not take the initiative to find the topic of Rosalin, but kept chatting with Orson.

Until the end, Orson ended the conversation with Arthas at the signal of Rosaline next to him, and turned the topic to Rosaline.

"By the way, Miss Rosaline has always wanted to meet His Highness Arthas, don't you want to chat?"

"That's right." Hearing this, Arthas turned his head in the direction of Rosaline.

After all, the other party is the general's daughter, and building a good relationship with her can also enhance his influence in the army.

Although she was originally the representative of the army, as long as nothing went wrong, the army would not support her sister.

"Ms. Rosalin, as the daughter of General Scaloni, how well do you know about the military?"

"Uh..." This question stumped Rosalin.

Although Scaloni often mentioned military matters to her when he returned home, and usually paid attention to this aspect in her education, it was limited to theory. In front of the two people around her who had actual combat experience, she still lost a lot.

Fortunately, Orson on the side spoke up to Rosalin: "Your Highness Arthas, Miss Rosalin is very concerned about the army. It seems that you two should get along well."

"Oh? Why is that?" Arthas heard this and looked at Rosalin curiously.

"The three armies have not moved, but the food and grass must go first." Rosalin also spoke up at this time. "During this period, there have been continuous grain transport teams heading south. I think there will be trouble in the south."

"It seems that I underestimated Miss Rosalin." Arthas said so. "It's my fault. The military's movements can be guessed by non-related personnel. I need to punish a few officers when I go back."

After saying this, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly dropped to freezing point.

Rosalin's expression froze for a moment.

"Ahem, His Highness Arthas, don't make fun of me." Fortunately, Orson came out to help.

"Yeah." Arthas nodded.
