To be honest, judging from Ling's ability to take the initiative to talk to Lucien, the relationship between the two has improved a lot.In the past, she would basically just glance at the other person with a dirty look, and then say nasty things to them.
Seeing Ling's speechless expression, he spread his hands and shook his head.
"Forget it, this is not something that can be resolved in a day or two. There have been too many major incidents recently, and Schiff can only use the injection of vitality potion to maintain his spirit when writing press releases. As for that boy Logan... .Do you think I look better than the others?"
Ling couldn't refute this, so he could only roll his eyes, and then went to tease the fat cat who was approaching.
"Mr. Captain, how have you been since you came back from Nod?"
Ella has become accustomed to this title and has no intention of changing it.
"Very good, Miss Williams. If this time can also be successfully concluded, more than half of the family should support me. But now is not the time to talk about this, the discussion about me should be over, we are here It's for the heir of the Belusay family."
"How is Hyde's recovery? Why isn't he here?"
Ling looked at Helena, who put down her pipe.
"I would like to know how he is, but my worthy father does not trust me to approach Hyde at such a time."
"I don't worry about my younger brother getting bored with a puppet that isn't even a living thing."
-
"Why, do you have any opinion on dolls that are not even biological creatures?"
Another voice came from the door. The doll lady dressed as a Gothic maid brought the tray, but she had no intention of handing the snacks to the guests. She just held them in her hand and threw them into her mouth.
Ella and Ling looked back in surprise at the same time, subconsciously wanting to say hello.
"Ah, it's been a long time, pfft... What is your outfit, are you practicing as a bride of the Belusay family?"
Ling was amused by her appearance and patted the armrest of the sofa in an exaggerated manner.
Shadow didn't care about her ridicule, but just sat on the armrest of her sofa unceremoniously.
"Clothes are just decorations in the final analysis, and only ordinary people will match them with occupations and identities - wear them if you think they look good, what else is there?"
"And it's not bad to be a maid in their family. At least the salary of the Belusse family is better than that of yours in Paris. I don't have to take such a meager salary while working a lot of jobs part-time. "
Ella looked behind the shadow, and asked after confirming that she didn't see another blond boy.
"Where is Hyde, why didn't he come with you?"
Shadow smiled.
"To avoid suspicion, as a candidate for this battle, meeting the executive officer in advance may reveal many problems?"
Although she said that, her hidden real meaning was obviously completely different, she just said it deliberately as if confirming something.
Ling replied.
"There is nothing to avoid suspicion. Our relationship is not a secret as long as we investigate a little bit. Ella just said that she wants to stand by her friend. So what?"
Although what she said was a bit too straightforward, Ella had the same opinion as her.I just came to see how my friend was recovering, there was no need to think too much about it.
Their reactions made Shadow smile maliciously but happily,
"Since the two of you are still the same idiots as before, I'm relieved. I'm still worried that you will suddenly become smart after Ella becomes the executive officer, and that will be too boring."
"Come together, I have something nice to show you."
She beckoned.
"The one in the letter?"
Ella asked curiously.
"You'll find out later."
The puppet is beaming.
......
"Hahaha what is this, this is actually that Hyde, how did you do it?"
A certain strange magical image made Ling almost roll with laughter, and even Ella couldn't help laughing, holding back her laughter very hard.
"This is what we did on Valentine's Day last time to sneak out in disguise. After that, the defense of the manor became stronger, and Hyde didn't want to come a second time. He obviously looks quite cute."
"So this thing is basically out of print and needs to be preserved well."
Shadow carefully put away the crystal ball.
This would have been unimaginable a few years ago, so love is really a wonderful power.
Ella covered her face and sighed,
"The progress of your relationship is really surprising in all aspects."
-
The blond boy stared at the three people with strange expressions in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
"Shadow, you won't show them that kind of thing, will you?"
Saying this, he slumped down on the carpet with a wry smile and shook his head.
"...Forget it, I knew you would do it."
After speaking, he changed a vicious expression,
"This is my final bottom line. It's fine if you three see it. That thing must not be spread anymore! Otherwise, even if I can keep my position as heir, I will not be able to hold my head high in the entire wizarding world."
"Don't worry, this is my personal collection. There is no reason to share it with more people."
Shadow replied with a serious look, but judging from the slightly raised corners of her mouth, this nasty doll might have some other bad ideas hidden in it.
This thing might become her use to threaten Hyde for a long time. The poor young man was just played in the hands of an old woman over two thousand years old, and he never had a chance to stand up again.
Hyde put aside the topic that was harmful to his own dignity and asked:
"How is the situation outside recently? I was asked to stay in the family and try to recover. I can only get some news about you through newspapers."
Ella cut him off.
"Compared to this, how is your recovery going?"
"The sequelae of drugs and excessive use of magic have been basically resolved."
The blond boy scratched his ears, and said in embarrassment,
"But the decline of bloodline strength is almost irreparable. It can only be made up slowly through time. It will take about five or six years for me to return to the previous level. As for the growth of the body, there is no big problem. Some foods can promote secondary growth, and I can get rid of this troublesome body in just one or two years..."
Having said that, the boy smiled proudly.This kind of expression no longer makes Ella and the others find it annoying, but has the characteristics of Hyde's strong personal charm.
"These are all irrelevant. If the magic power is gone, it can be re-accumulated, and the bloodline is only an auxiliary condition. Even without those wizards, I am still a genius. It is better to let go of these psychological burdens, so that I can grow to a new level."
"Sooner or later, I will be able to catch up with your footsteps again, and even surpass it. You have to be prepared."
It was probably this freedom and confidence that allowed him to be accepted by Shadow.The doll's emerald green glass eyeballs were glowing. After all, in more than 2000 years, this was the first guy she could appreciate from the perspective of the opposite sex.
"Okay, I accept your challenge."
Ella replied like this, maybe this is a continuation of the childish struggle in childhood, but it is something different without any haze or malice.
----------------Dividing line---------------
It’s almost the beginning of the month, so I’d like to request a monthly pass in advance.
Chapter 51 Lack of imagination
"Then, after saying so many big words, the most important thing right now is to protect what belongs to you. Whether it is subsequent recovery or research on bloodline power, it will require huge resources. At least you can't lose these things now. .”
Shadow poured cold water on him without mercy.
Ella then added,
"Not only that, we don't want an untrustworthy guy who suddenly appears to become an alliance member. Whether it is as a friend or for the overall situation, we will help you in this matter. I have executive authority here before Investigating information on people who may pose a threat to you this time."
With that said, Ella took out several volumes of files tucked into the copper buckle of the Book of Three Days.
"Do you know anything about them?"
Hyde took a quick look at the results file, then dismissed the first one.
"Helena is not a threat. With her character, even if she really wants to compete with me for the position of heir, she will wait until I fully recover before coming in an upright manner. Now she is undoubtedly our ally. What would she do if The most she can do is that after I fail, she will defeat everyone and get back what she once abandoned, although I don't think the premise of "I will fail" is established. "
"As for Elaine... I know this cousin somewhat. Her situation is very similar to mine when I was a child. I noticed during the last family meeting that she couldn't control her overflowing spiritual power."
"what does that mean?"
Ling asked.
Hyde pointed at himself,
"Do you still remember that when I was young, I couldn't restrain my provocative instinct. This is not just a side effect of alchemy props, it also has a lot to do with my own ability."
"Oh, now you finally admit it."
Ling teased that when this topic was discussed before, Hyde would refuse to admit it and even said that he had been very popular since he was a child.At that time, she wanted to punch the latter's nose more than once.
"Well, well...yeah, I'd say Elaine is a lot like me in that regard."
"She will also passively provoke all living creatures around her?"
Ella asked curiously, and even drew a portrait of a girlish version of Belusay in her heart.
Hyde froze, then shook his head.
"No, it's not provocation... Elaine, that guy's spiritual characteristic is charm. You have seen it in the data. She has a part of succubus blood. This does not distinguish between gender and race, as long as it is a life with desire They will all be affected by her spiritual power."
"It's similar to a supernatural charm, and people controlled by this charm will voluntarily accept some of her instructions."
"Eh..."
Ling touched his forehead.
"Are you saying she will seduce any creature that comes near her? That sounds too nasty... But it sounds like there's no limit to the amount of this charm, isn't that tricky, sounds better than if you used the Ring of Pride Dominating the enemy's mind is even stronger."
"No, not as exaggerated as you think."
Hyde denies,
“That’s not a boastful statement on my part, it’s just the truth.”
