Chapter 989: Truly Integrating into the Circle

When people live in this world, they are always in various mixed positions.

Not to mention positions on ethnicity, race, or country, even within a small family, there are positions.

For example, if your parents have an argument and the family is about to break up, as a child you have to choose a side.

Now Claire and Qili are facing a similar situation, with their husbands on one side and their parents’ family on the other...both sides are in trouble now.

Although the husband was considerate and asked them to go back to help.

And based on their understanding of Hardy, the latter sincerely believed so.

But...as a wife, at this time, I should really stand with my husband's family.

In the end, Eurobet left Basov alone and headed for the royal city.

Of course, as sisters, Claire and Qili still provided him with a long-distance warhorse with excellent endurance and a large backpack of dry food.

Although Eurobert can indeed transform into a firebird and fly, that consumes a lot of physical strength and magic. When it comes to traveling long distances, a pony is more practical.

Claire and Qili stood on the city wall and watched their loved ones disappear completely in the distance before returning to the city lord's mansion.

Then, as soon as they entered the room, they saw Aya. She was in the main hall, talking to several envoys. When she saw the two of them coming back, she smiled and said, "Hadi is in the study. You can go see him."

Both of them were stunned for a moment. They had a feeling that Aya seemed to be more intimate with them.

I used to be very enthusiastic, but I always felt a little "unfamiliar", as if there was something between us.

But now that barrier seems to have disappeared.

The two felt a little confused, and then came to Hardy's study and saw Hardy looking at a map.

"You're back!" Hadi waved at the two of them and said, "Our external environment isn't very good right now, and you should be able to see that."

The two nodded.

"We have some gaps in defense to the west and south, and... there are a lot of people who have been enslaved in these two directions." Hadi pointed to these two places on the map and continued, "I personally prefer to take the initiative. Instead of waiting for the enemy to come to us, we might as well attack them directly."

Qili's eyes lit up with joy: "You mean... you want the two of us to lead the army to war?"

"Yes!" Hadi laughed and said, "The lords of these two places have threatened us. Each of you should bring 500 armored elite soldiers to kill the lords of these two places."

The two did not think that Hardy's plan was cruel. After all, the enemy was about to attack, and taking the initiative was indeed a good idea.

"And then we take over those two places?"

“No need.” Hadi shook his head. “After killing the lord, we can collect the spoils and return them. A chaotic no-man’s land will become a target for many people to seize. This can buy us a lot of time and also help us weaken the strength of other lords.”

Claire looked at Hardy with her beautiful eyes and said admiringly, "Hadi, your plan is amazing. Only someone who knows how to give up can do it."

Most lords, upon conquering a piece of territory, would like to hold it in their hands immediately, and would never be willing to use it as fat meat to be used as a trap.

Hardy waved his hand: "This is just a common tactic."

Qili said angrily, "At least it's the first time I've seen it."

"Well, go get ready. We'll be leaving in three days."

"Follow the order."

The two men saluted at the same time.

They are princesses trained by the Rida family, and they know when to talk about official business and when to talk about personal matters.

The two came out of the study. Qili looked quite excited. She really liked leading the troops in battle, but in Rida's house, this was almost impossible.

But with Hardy, she got enough trust.

Claire turned her head and looked at her sister. She whispered, "Have you noticed that Aya seems to be much more enthusiastic towards us?"

"Is there?" Qili thought for a moment and said, "It seems so." Claire sighed and said, "Hadi fully trusts us, but now it seems that Yu Shao Aiya and the others did not fully trust us before. I wonder if the others are the same."

"You mean, now Aya completely trusts us?" Qili asked, "Why?"

"Maybe it's because we didn't follow our second brother back to the royal city." Claire seemed to be relieved and said, "After all, our Lida family may have conflicts with Basov City."

Qili was shocked: "That is to say, if we follow my previous suggestion, we might become strangers to Hadi and the others after we go back with my second brother?"

"It's even possible that they are in a hostile relationship!" Claire added.

Qili suddenly felt the hairs on her body stand up: "Luckily you stopped me!"

There was relief in her eyes.

She wanted to help the family before because she was not worried that Hardy would have any opinions about her sisters. After all, Hardy doted on them both.

But now after Claire's analysis, she was afraid.

She didn't want to become a stranger to Hardy, not at all.

Never.

During dinner, Claire and Qili discovered that all the women in the City Lord's Mansion were very close to them.

They were sure that what they had felt at noon was correct.

It turned out that they had never really entered the core circle of the City Lord's Mansion before.

After dinner, Hardy continued to handle government affairs. During this time, Leola came once, ordered a popsicle made by Hardy, and then left.

This has almost become a repertoire.

Late at night, the study door was gently pushed open again. Hadi thought it was a succubus coming in, but he found that it was the lovely little girl Neferti standing at the door. She was holding a rag doll in her hand and asked expectantly: "Dad, can you tell me a story tonight and accompany me to sleep?"

In fact, Nefertiti is very sensible and she doesn't disturb Hardy most of the time.

Only when she really wanted to get close to Hardy would she come over and ask cautiously.

"sure."

Hadi closed the government affairs notebook in his hand, stood up, went to the door and took the little girl's hand: "Dad will tell you three stories tonight."

"really?"

Neferti was visibly happy: "What's the story?"

Hadi pulled Neferti to her bedroom and said, "The first story is called 'The Little Girl Selling Explosive Magic Scrolls'."

"What about the second story?"

Neferti asked expectantly, her eyes full of stars.

"Listen to the first one first..."

"it is good!"

In fact, Hardy was correct not to consider the second story.

Nefertiti fell asleep before she finished the first story.

Hadi covered Neferti with a blanket and was about to leave when he suddenly froze.

Because she found that there was a faint light flashing on Nefertiti's forehead.

It was very faint, and if it weren't for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
