Cannon Fodder Strategy

It's a pity that this time the plot only has a beginning and no ending, so Lily hasn't thought about what to do with Brian yet. He was obviously fascinated by Anna. For such a person, Lily didn't want to put in the effort to bring him back. Even if the original owner really liked him, she decided to sit on the sidelines. If the plot progressed to the later stage, she would get more. clues, if she finds that Brian is not helpful to her mission, if he stops provoking her, Lily will do whatever he wants, but if he dares to provoke her again, and he is not helpful to the plot, then she Just think of a way to kill him.

And if it is discovered later that the original owner's wish is to win Brian from Anna, when she becomes stronger, she will keep Brian close to her, which can be regarded as indirectly completing the task.

During the early morning prayer the next morning, Lily didn't talk to Brian much. Her abnormal behavior made Brian look at her several times.

The time for the ball that Archbishop Andrew said His Majesty was going to hold in honor of Archduke Arturi came soon.

During this period, Aturi did not send anyone to give her gifts or ask her out again. Although Lily wanted to inquire about Anna, she thought that sooner or later she would see Aturi again at the ball, so she did not Don't be anxious or panicked.

The day before the ball started, the Roman family had sent people to the temple to pick her up and bring her back to the family to dress up. Apparently, this time the Roman family also made an exception and got His Majesty's permission because of Lily's date with Arturi. Participate in this high-society dance. However, Lily had already promised Archbishop Andrew that she would attend the party as his female companion, so she explained the situation to the Roman family, and Earl Roman sent jewelry in advance. No one was sent over again.

Lily came over in the carriage of Archbishop Andrew of the temple, and Brian sat outside the carriage with Archbishop Andrew's guardian knight.

In the car, Archbishop Andrew looked at Lily's simple dress today. She did not wear the complicated and complicated dress sent by the Roman family. Instead, she only wore a fitted white dress. Showing her graceful posture. She didn't wear any dazzling jewelry, but her long, thick, curly curly hair was spread behind her. There was only a simple aquamarine forehead ornament on her forehead, and the gemstone reflected its dazzling luster under the light.

She was dressed fresh and refreshing, although it was too simple, but it was precisely because of the simple clothing and jewelry that it brought out Lily's own temperament and the beautiful appearance of the original owner. Therefore, although Andrew was a little dissatisfied with Lily's dressing up so simply. But when he saw her, he didn't comment on her dress.

The carriage stopped in front of the manor where the party was held tonight. The guard on duty stepped forward to check Archbishop Andrew's identity and quickly let him go. Night has fallen and the dance has not started yet. The garden in front of the castle is already filled with lights and there are many decorative moonstones hanging around. The stone reflects the light, making this ancient castle brightly lit.

This ball was mainly organized by the emperor for Aturi. As the protagonist this time, Grand Duke Aturi sat beside the emperor, and he was surrounded by the crowd along with several princes.

But the Grand Duke's tall figure, even if he was surrounded by the crowd, still stood out from the crowd. When Lily took Andrew's arm and entered the middle of the ball, her eyes immediately fell on him.

As if he felt someone was watching him, the Grand Duke turned his head very keenly. His originally lazy and cold expression changed after seeing Lily. He quickly showed a smile and without turning his head, he approached the emperor sitting beside him and whispered something.

Because it's too far away. Lily couldn't hear his voice at all, but his eyes kept falling on her. The hair on her back was creepy. Archbishop Andrew soon discovered this, and the smile on his face deepened a bit. He took Lily and walked over here. Along the way, he greeted the nobles who came forward and wanted to talk to him. As he walked to today Next to some of the ball's brightest stars.

As she got closer, Lily saw that Arturi was not wearing a serious and elegant white shirt today like the previous two meetings. He was wearing an olive green hunting suit today, and his light blond hair was completely swept away by him. He combed his back, revealing his plump heavenly figure. Compared with his previous aristocratic, cold and distant look, the outfit he wore today showed his handsome and heroic side.

As Archbishop Andrew approached Lily, he stood up. This uniform perfectly showed his long legs and slender waist. He was wearing a pair of leather boots, walked towards Lily, and stretched out a hand:

"Madam, you look very charming tonight." His palms were facing up, and his fingers were slender and strong. Under the bright light, you could vaguely see the thin calluses between his fingers caused by holding something for many years.

Lily smiled at him and thanked him, and put her fingers on his palm. Aturi smiled. Leng Hui suddenly stopped his hand. His expression was reserved and a bit careless, but his movements were as fast as a cheetah. Lily She felt like she was being targeted by him, and she instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but a few fingers were caught by him. He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand gently.

Aturi didn't like people getting too close to him. Now he took the initiative to kiss Lily's hand. This move made everyone around him look a little surprised.

When his lips left the back of Lily's hand, he did not let go of Lily's hand. Instead, he grabbed Lily's hand. Before Lily could react, he stuffed her arm into his bent arm and held it. The palm holding her hand did not let go, making it impossible for Lily to struggle away.

"..." This overbearing action seemed to be declaring sovereignty, and it immediately left Lily speechless. Not only did she fail to react, but Archbishop Andrew on the side was also dumbfounded. Arturi's expression was not strange. He seemed to think that it was natural to do so. Although it was not unusual for a lady to enter the castle together with two male companions on her arms. Most of the noble ladies entered the castle with their husbands and sons on their arms. However, due to the unique identities of the archbishop and the Archduke Aturi, Lily suddenly became the focus of the audience, and many people's envious eyes fell on her.

Archbishop Andrew was silent for a moment, then smiled gently, winked at Lily, and took the initiative to reach out and let Lily go:

"It's an honor to bring you your lady companion. Sure enough, a young and beautiful girl is always suitable for a handsome gentleman." He complimented the two of them without any trace, and Brian, who parked the carriage and came in, said this. After hearing this, Brian's eyes quickly flashed with a haze, and he quickly lowered his head again.

Taking advantage of Archbishop Andrew's greetings with the emperor, Arturi took Lily out of the crowd and found a corner to sit down: "Long time no see, madam. It seems like you are doing well these days."

A group of people in the distance saw the two hiding in the corner, looking like they wanted to come over but didn't dare. They just turned around and stared at the two from time to time.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. Why didn't you see Mr. Lyon today?" Lily wanted to inquire about Anna's whereabouts, but she didn't know how to ask Aturi to bring it up on his own initiative. She didn't want Aturi to see her. As for Anna's special purpose, so as not to cause trouble in the future, she was trying to find an excuse to sidetrack her, but as soon as she said this, Arturi's slender eyebrows suddenly raised:

"What? Shouldn't the lady express her longing for me first and then ask my butler?" His voice was a little softer, with a smile in his tone.

But these words with a smile not only did not make people feel warm, but instead made people feel chills on the back for no reason. The hair on Lily's back stood up. She shook her head and was pushed into the sofa in the corner by Arturi. Her back hit the soft back of the sofa, and before she could scream, Arturi had already held the armrests on both sides of the sofa with both hands, trapping Lily between herself and the sofa.

His tall and slender body bent down, using his body to block the lights in the castle and the many eyes staring at Lily. His beautiful and delicate face was very close to Lily, and a few strands of hair hung down on his face, making him The deep facial features cast shadows, making his eyes look like bottomless pools, deep and dark.

Perhaps it was because he was carrying a light, but his eyes that used to look blue now turned dark blue. When he was staring at him, it gave people a great sense of oppression: "What I brought tonight is not me. Mr. Butler, maybe I think it’s not him you want to see, but someone else, right?”

The tip of Lily's nose was filled with his breath. He was so close, and it was as if she could feel the temperature of his body without reaching out. Her whole body was surrounded by his breath, which was like fresh lemon on Arturi's body. The breath seemed to be everywhere, and every breath seemed to be tainted with his scent from the inside out. When he heard him say this, his heart stopped for two beats, and then started beating crazily. There was a coldness in Tu Li's eyes that seemed to understand everything. Just as she was about to shake her head and deny it, Andrew's voice rang out from behind them:

"I have always admired the master's charm. Now that I have met him, my child, aren't you going to introduce me to the master?"

There was a look of displeasure in Arturi's eyes at being disturbed. He turned his head with a slight expression on his face. The pressure caused by him dissipated a lot as he turned his head. Lily breathed a sigh of relief and was about to sit down. He straightened his body, but he suddenly turned his head again. Lily didn't expect him to turn his head like this. When she reacted and fell back on the chair quickly, his lips were already like a brush, gently moving from Her forehead moved away. (To be continued ~^~)
