Helena couldn't help but look down at her hands.

It is well maintained, and there is no evidence of any work done. When she was in the temple, she wanted to sew a button that fell off for herself, but she forgot how to tie the knot at the end... Therefore, the noble lady does not need to learn how to sew and cook. Kind of?

That's right, what she learned when she was a child is mainly to marry a good family. If you are a nobleman, you shouldn't care about these things. You think it's enough to hire a maid... Anyway, it's strange that she is not married yet at her age.

She had inquired, and there was no fiancé, no lover, only the person she had a crush on that she vaguely remembered.

Helena sighed a little worriedly.

Although she guessed that the person she had a crush on might be the Duke, she couldn't confirm it without meeting anyone. She originally wanted to come to the door to thank her in person, but it seemed that the other party didn't care about such trivial matters.

All I can do for the Duke is to quickly master the blood magic and become a magician of the Stuart family.

But before that, the thank you letter will have to be rewritten, too official and without any sincerity.

And since there happens to be a pen and paper here, it is much more convenient——

Helena has had a lot of dreams recently, but she often can't remember what they are when she wakes up.

There is a widely circulated saying that dreams are an extension of reality and an integration of memories. There will be no things you have never seen in dreams—even a fox with wings has definitely been seen in reality. The fox has also seen those wings.

Helena guessed that if she could remember all the dreams, it might be helpful to restore her memory.

In the temple, she doesn’t want to bother others too much. Now she can put a pen and paper on the bedside, so that as soon as she wakes up, or wakes up in the middle, she may be able to write down some key words to help her recall what she dreamed about .

Once or twice may not be effective, remember more, maybe it will be useful?

A few days later, when Shalltear went to the Duke's Mansion to hand over work to Langdon, she handed Langdon an extra letter.

"What's this?" Langdon asked.

"Miss Helena's thank you letter." Xia Tiya replied, "She probably wanted to thank you in person. When I asked her to write a letter, she seemed a little disappointed...but she didn't bother, and she accepted it readily. .”

Flipping his wrist, Langdon looked at the name on the envelope and realized that it was actually Helena.

Thinking back, he didn't seem to have received many letters from Helena, because Helena was too controlling, and she would go wherever he went, except for living in school, most of the time under the same roof, There is absolutely no need to write a letter.

"... Thank you for taking care of her." Langdon hesitated, and threw the letter into the drawer, not letting it take up space on the desk. "Just tell me if you have any difficulties."

Shatia shook her head: "At present, Miss Helena is still very easy to get along with... It's completely different from before."

Speaking of this, Shalltear hesitated.

Langdon flipped through the documents and said, "Let's talk about it if you have any questions. I don't want to guess what others think now."

I'm too tired, can't everyone just speak up?Guess what to do!

"...Sorry, I didn't mean to question what I said next, but I was a little confused. You can treat me as a research project." Shalltear pushed up her glasses, "Miss Helena who lost her memory...or Helena? Miss Lianna? The influence of memory on personality is so great that it scares me..."

Langdon put down the document in his hand, thought for a while, and replied, "I haven't seen the current Helena, but according to Flora, I think Helena is still Helena...you only met this year Hers, she should be closer to when she was a child now... To be precise, it is the state of the three views when she was a child and the thinking of an adult."

After a pause, Langdon added.

"Actually, I didn't expect her to become like this... If she had always been like this, we wouldn't have gotten into this situation at all."

Although in the previous life, I also heard that some children had psychological shadows. After hypnotherapy, they forgot the cause of the psychological shadows and regained their vitality... But the world's direct memory manipulation treatment method is too hard-core, and the effect is too good. He thought it would be Helena who was still cold and just wouldn't meddle in his business.

As a result, Helena is now like this, he is too embarrassed to meet her, she has lost her memory, and she even thanked him sincerely and tenderly... His conscience hurts a little, why don't we just treat him coldly .

Shalltear seemed to relax a little.

Langdon felt that the method of erasing memories was probably too cruel for other people. Shalltear saw Helena completely changed, and it was normal to be afraid in her heart. Now she knew that it was not really beyond recognition. That was also a stage for Helena, so she felt much more at ease.

...But obviously Helena and Shalltear hadn't been together for long before, yet she left such a deep impression on Shatia that it was unacceptable to be a little gentle?To a certain extent, Helena is quite a failure in life...

"That's right." Langdon remembered to mention something to Shalltear, "When Flora came over two days ago, she told me that she had already divined the location of the seal...but it was a side-kick, so it might not be accurate. In short, it is far away from the emperor, and no one will look for you in the imperial capital for the time being. The second prince of the Heka Empire will not recognize you now, so relax a little bit, and go out to relax. You don’t need to stay in other places all day. Die."

This kind of thing can't be said in the letter, anyway, Xia Tiya would come here every now and then, so it wouldn't take a day or two to say it face to face.

Xia Tiya breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, that's great, but the second prince hasn't left yet?"

"After all, he came all the way, and it's not good to drive him away too quickly...Although he did stay for a long time, I suspect he wanted to watch the fun."

In a world without planes and trains, the pace of life is very slow. The more expensive a person is, the less likely he is to rush around. When he arrives at a place, he must have fun there, otherwise he will appear to be rude to the host.

The problem is, the second prince of the Heka Empire is doing something related to the demons this time!It is very delicate to stay in your own country instead of returning to your own country after finishing business.

Considering the recent actions of the princes, Langdon guessed that the second prince might want to take the opportunity to observe who the next emperor of the August Empire is, and collect some information by the way... It is estimated that the emperor is already thinking about how to invite the second prince. The prince has returned to his country, so he can't let foreigners laugh at him.

Shalltear's work was related to government affairs, and she quickly understood what Langdon meant by the excitement. After all, there was still a prince who wanted to go to the newspaper to make money.

"Duke...isn't it affected?"

Langdon smiled: "How can I be affected? This kind of thing has nothing to do with me. The risk far outweighs the reward. Let's just watch the excitement... Let's go."

Shatia: "...?"

Langdon, who suddenly remembered Bellatrix's previous "Participation Declaration" in the middle of the speech, fell silent.

That's right, although he has no contact with the prince, he and Bellatris are obviously considered together!It's just that Bellatrix hasn't entered the arena with a clear banner, so everyone ignores her.

Speaking of which, the emperor still wants to see him this afternoon, he was still thinking that it might be about Helena and Lilica, but now that he thinks about it, it might have something to do with Bellatrix, right?

With such doubts in mind, Langdon entered the palace in the afternoon.

This time the meeting was different from the previous ones, it was not in a place with distinct classes like the palace, but in the garden, where the two drank afternoon tea face to face.

The form was very personal, but considering Langdon's status, it was normal. After all, he was also a duke with his own country, and this was also a way for the emperor to show his closeness.

"Just treat me like an ordinary elder, and let's talk casually without talking about those unsightly topics today." The emperor said, "May I call you Langdon?"

Of course, Langdon couldn't refuse: "Please feel free, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction: "Langdon, have you been working hard recently?"

"...not bad." Langdon replied cautiously.

"Is your sister okay?"

Langdon replied honestly: "With the help of the saint, there is no problem... But she lost her memory. In order to avoid such a thing from happening again, I transferred her adoption relationship to the separated family. Before Helena Helping the housekeeper is also very hard, and the pressure is too great, and being a housekeeper can make it easier for her."

Anyway, the emperor has nothing to do with Helena. The emperor would not say anything if he knew about this kind of thing.

The emperor really didn't care why Helena was separated from the family, nor did he care about the sudden amnesia. In his opinion, it was normal for such a thing to happen in an aristocratic family, as long as he gave a plausible reason, he could accept it.

"Oh? Speaking of which, I haven't figured out why Lilica hurt Miss Helena. Bella said that she is responsible for her knight, so let me leave it alone."

"It's nothing, just some old grievances." Langdon complained half-truthfully, "You know, Lilica was also from my family before, I thought she had a good relationship with Helena, but the girl's mind was a little bit difficult Guess……"

The emperor showed a subtle expression: "Yeah, it's really hard to understand, let alone other girls, I can't even see through my own girls--ah, in fact, I called you here today mainly for one thing .”

Langdon lifted his spirits, and thought that the main event was finally here, and it was impossible to simply drink tea if he was asked to come in: "What's the matter, please tell me."

The next second, the emperor said, "It's about Bella. What do you think of Bella?"

Langdon's fingers on his knees twitched, and he restrained his expression: "His Royal Highness is very cute, but she is a little enthusiastic..."

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "What time is it, and you are still helping her to hide it."

Langdon had heard from Bellatrix a long time ago that the Emperor already knew her true face, so he was not surprised to see the Emperor's reaction, and just smiled awkwardly.

The emperor continued on his own: "I only recently learned that Bella is more self-willed than I imagined. At that time, she chased you to your principality, so she must have caused you a lot of trouble." ?”

This matter is also something that the emperor has only recently pondered over.

He wondered why his daughter was so good, why Langdon was not only unmoved, but also had a faint feeling of avoiding her in the letter he wrote.

Generally speaking, even if you don't like it, you won't push it out, right?Being pursued by a noble and capable girl is obviously a very elegant and interesting story, and Langdon's reaction is a bit strange.

Now that he knew Bellatrix's true character, he soon understood it. Langdon probably knew it too. Maybe it was something Bellatrix did in the principality that caused Langdon to be angry with Bellatrix. Latris was unmoved.

But after all, she is the daughter I am very optimistic about. I heard that even on the day of her mother's death, Bellatrix went out of the palace to the Duke of Stuart's mansion. After returning, she felt much better. The emperor realized that Bellatrix Liz was probably really serious about Langdon.

He thought about what he owed to this child when he was a child, and now he can make up for it a little... In fact, things between young men and women are uncertain. He planned to see what Langdon's attitude towards Bellatrix was. So this time it is the form of this private tea party, just to let Langdon not be full of bureaucracy, and he can say things that are not suitable for formal occasions, such as——

"This child, you can't usually tell, but she is actually a bit surly. She only knows how to pretend to be surly in front of me, maybe she is bullying people outside..." The emperor babbled a series of such words, and then said, "She You can tell the truth about what you do, and I will make the decision for you."

Langdon thought I was not stupid.

There is no one who speaks ill of a daughter in front of a father. He is too familiar with this routine of parents. If someone says that their child is fine, if you dare to agree with it, it will be over.

And considering that Bellatrix has such a strange personality, most of the reasons are that the emperor is not a good person... Hearing what the emperor said about Bellatrix, Langdon was a little dissatisfied, thinking that this thing is real No points.

"Actually, it's nothing." Langdon couldn't help saying good things for Bellatrix sympathetically, "His Royal Highness is a child at heart, maybe it's because I didn't have enough contact with people before, but now it's getting better..."

The emperor stroked his beard thoughtfully.

Of course he knew that no one would complain about Bellatrix following his words. Langdon's answer would definitely be to persuade her back, but whether he really felt that what he said was wrong, or to persuade her in a symbolic way, of course he would You can see it.

It was clear that Langdon meant Bella's kind words with all his heart.

The emperor didn't know that Langdon was sympathizing with Bellatrix's unreliable father, and thought that Langdon's sympathy was because of Bellatrix's recent loss of her mother.

He just thinks it's good to feel sympathy!

Having sympathy is a good start. For young people, those who can’t tell the difference between sympathy and love, sympathy, sympathy, and more affection, may feel that they like each other, and his daughter’s relationship can still be saved!

It would be trouble if Langdon continued to push people away, as he did in that letter, without giving them a chance, because Bella didn't look like she would be willing to change someone's favorite-in this respect. However, Bella is quite like her mother, once she likes her, she is very dedicated.

But Langdon is really a good kid.

He is gentle, kind and intelligent, but he has no ambitions. At most, he is a bit delusional about being persecuted, but being cautious is not a bad habit, and he is moved and sympathized so easily. When he really gets married, he will definitely be able to be easily handled by Bella...

Since he is the Grand Duke of the Principality, he doesn't need to consider issues such as fiefdoms. When the time comes, one of the children born will be left to the empire and the other will be left to the Principality. At least within a few generations, the Principality of Stuart will be surrounded by the hard-core royal family.

Looking back, I still have to persuade Bella to be patient for a while if I have any temper. Now is the time to seize the opportunity to attack the city. Don't waste this sympathy. At least you have to wait until you get married and have children. For sake, tolerance will always be much higher.

Alas, what Langdon said was right, Bella has a childish temper, and she doesn't even know how to fall in love, so she has to be taught by him... Find her a lady to teach her about this when you have time.

The emperor smiled and chatted with Langdon for another half an hour, very satisfied with the results of today's test.

Langdon was chatting, and realized that the emperor probably hadn't given up on making him and Bellatrix...but they didn't mention it, and he acted as if he was just talking about his daughter, so he didn't want to come here suddenly Saying "I don't want to marry a princess" is simply killing me.

Since the emperor didn't force him to be engaged to Bellatrix, Langdon endured it.

But it won't work if this continues. If Bellatris really intends to get involved in the succession war, he'd better avoid suspicion, but he doesn't know if it's too late to avoid suspicion now...

After finishing the afternoon tea with the emperor, Langdon walked out of the palace a little tiredly, and accidentally bumped into Bellatris's second brother.

Bella's second brother greeted Langdon graciously when he saw Langdon. After exchanging some pleasantries, he asked nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, when I met Miss Helena at the ball last time, I just wanted to invite her to dance, but it's a pity that you left too quickly... I heard that Miss Helena had an accident recently, how is it now?"

Langdon: "..."

Bellatrix told him the truth, saying that this guy seemed to be testing whether to win Helena, but he really didn't expect this guy to ask such a question directly in front of his face, because he felt that it would be better if he was more honest. Isn't it poaching?

"Thank you for caring so much about my family. Flora has cured her." Langdon replied politely.

Emphasis, my family, means don't wishful thinking, no matter what they have heard, anyway, he can't let Helena go to work for someone else's family.

Bella's second brother understood Langdon's implication, but he didn't look disappointed, and said with a look of expectation: "I see, that's really a pity... But, can you tell me the truth? , do you prefer my sister, or the saint, or your knight?"

Langdon was just about to fool around like before, when he suddenly heard the new candidate, he couldn't help being confused for a moment.

"……Who?"

Are you talking about senior sister?When did the senior sister also join the gossip spree? !
