I Captivate the Player

Charlotte calmly averted her eyes from the book, and turned to look at him, smiling.

"Grand Duke Andocher, you broke into my room without even saying a word. If people find out and spread the word, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence."

Chen Ye smiled slightly and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this."

The entire imperial capital was panicked, and when the "mentor" frequently entered and exited Charlotte's room, she never said anything like "it would have an impact".

Is this a double standard?That's pretty true.

"Where is my tutor?" asked Charlotte.

"..."

Chen Ye didn't speak for a moment, "Mentor" No. [-] fell into the underground of the holy city, and "Mentor" No. [-] was still in charge of various player affairs in Andochel.

So he had no choice but to use his body to meet and protect Charlotte, not the "mentor" that is often used here.

Seeing that "Samael" hadn't answered for a long time, Charlotte had a smile on her face.

"Then, Grand Duke Andocher, what are you going to do now that the matter has come to this?"

"The demons are coming fiercely. If you say that I can escape, then I will let people pack my luggage now."

Chen Ye shook his head and said, "No, you don't have to run away."

"But the imperial capital may not be able to hold it."

Charlotte explained: "Even though the imperial capital still has a lot of troops, and there are even many 'God's Chosen' among them, as far as I know, there are too many demons this time."

"Even if the military strength of the imperial capital is doubled, it will be difficult to resist."

Chen Ye did not argue with Charlotte, but said directly: "With me here, the imperial capital can be defended."

Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."

"Grand Duke, if you have nothing to do now, why don't you tell me the story in this book. I've been reading for a long time, and my eyes feel a little tired."

After she finished speaking, she turned to hand the book in her hand to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to take the book, which was very thick and heavy.

Instead, Chen Ye immediately found that there was only one chair in the room, so he could only stand beside Charlotte, telling her the story in the book in a calm tone.

The content of this heavy book is actually just an old story about a hero saving a princess. This story is very simple and pure, but it makes people feel boring.

Everything is flat, without any reversal.

Even the ending is "the hero finally lived happily with the princess", this kind of cliché ending makes everything in the book look like a simple fairy tale.

Although he didn't know how to write novels at all, Chen Ye felt that such stories were boring.

However, Charlotte listened with gusto, showing a familiar expression to Chen Ye, which was the expression she would have when she took the initiative to pester the "mentor" when she was in Andochell in the past.

Like a child looking up at a shooting star for the first time.

Full of longing and longing.

"The story is over."

Chen Ye closed the book and said.

She smiled and held her chin in silence for a while.

"I like the story, but the Grand Duke seems to find it a bit boring."

"There is indeed a point."

"Well, if the hero in the book actually had ulterior motives, and he saved her just to take advantage of the princess, kindness is not pure, and he has a guilty conscience, wouldn't this story be much more interesting?"

Chen Ye held the book in silence for a long time, and replied bitterly, "Maybe."

Charlotte sighed, and continued: "A hero who acts out of selfish desires, deceives the world, but saves many innocent people in a real sense, and saves the princess in the story, is such a hero really a hero? "

Chen Ye remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he laughed and replied open-mindedly: "He who can defend his family and country without hesitating to sacrifice is a hero, and he who can persist in himself and never forget his original intention is a hero, but a hero who behaves misbehavingly, is greedy for money, and lustful is actually a hero." Not for nothing."

Had it been a year ago, Charlotte might have shook her head.

But now she has seen many people and things, so she did not deny Chen Ye's point of view.

She just sighed, and said: "If this is just an ordinary, even rather boring story...the princess, then she will definitely be happy."

"But if the story becomes 'interesting', can the princess who discovers the truth still be happy?"

"Yes." Chen Ye replied with a smile without thinking.

Charlotte froze for a moment, a little surprised.

"why?"

Chen Ye said: "Because no matter how twists and turns the story is, how dark it is, and how ups and downs it is, as long as the ending is that the hero and the princess live a happy life, it will be fine."

Charlotte thought for a while, then suddenly got up and took the book back from Chen Ye.

Her act of grabbing it completely was beyond Chen Ye's expectations.

This move was not mature at all, not at all like what an emperor should do, it could even be said to be a little childish.
