Even though Helena's voice was so small that it was close to talking to herself, it still clearly reached Langdon's ears in the empty and quiet living room.
He didn't look back, and even said with a bit of pleasure.
"That's as you wish."
Helena stared blankly at Langdon's tall and tall figure disappearing from her field of vision, feeling her mind go blank.
He's gone, he's really gone.
She heard the relief in Langdon's tone.
For Langdon, was her existence really so unbearable that he was tired of even looking back at her?
Helena's head was dizzy, her body swayed, she fell down on the sofa, and she took a few short breaths before recovering.
It's so uncomfortable, why is it so uncomfortable...
Helena was in a trance, leaning on the sofa, and after an unknown period of time, she suddenly realized that there was Lilica next to her.
They were also the ones brought back to the Stuart family by the Duchess. The last thing Helena wanted was for Lilica to see her embarrassed side.
She should have invited Lilica to dinner normally, so that she could appear not to be too influenced by Langdon.
But Helena felt the dull pain in her heart, and the auditory hallucinations that stimulated her spirit kept ringing in her ears again, and she felt that it was difficult to guarantee that her emotions would not collapse suddenly.
She could only pull herself together: "Lilika, I can't entertain you today, let's talk again when we have a chance."
Lilica nodded silently, got up and left without hesitation, showing no sense of friendship corresponding to her behavior of coming directly to Helena as soon as she returned to the imperial capital.
In fact, not only Langdon, but even Helena couldn't figure out what Lilica was thinking.
Lilyka is always lazy, empty and sluggish, as if she has exhausted her strength just to live, and rarely takes the initiative to do anything.
In my impression, the first time Lilica became active was when she suddenly said that she would leave the Stuart family.
I still don't know the reason, but I still have contact with her and Langdon after that, don't I?What does it matter if you stay in the Stuart family?
With Lilica's personality, it doesn't seem like she would do such troublesome things for her freedom?
Helena supported her forehead with a headache and sat on the sofa, extremely exhausted.
Now was not the time to think about Lilica. What mattered was Langdon.
She was too scared to chase after her, worried that she would hear words that would make her collapse even more, and at the same time, she still had a faint expectation in her heart, what if, what if Langdon would come back soon...
Langdon himself didn't know Helena's pain. He had already figured out where he was going tonight, and asked the coachman to take him to Roland's house as soon as he went out.
Roland didn't live with his parents and brothers. The businessman's family was normal across the world and had real estate in various places.
When seeing Langdon, Roland was very pleasantly surprised, and very wittily did not ask "Why don't you go home and come to me", but pretended not to know how abnormal this was, and directly and enthusiastically invited Langdon in.
"You came at the right time! Didn't we use the words related to the Kingdom of Sarière when we were talking about propaganda? I asked someone who is familiar with the Kingdom of Sarière for consultation. He happens to be here now. Let me tell you introduce……"
Roland opened the door of the study, and someone inside looked up.
The large white robe was worn on the man, which was a little empty, covering most of the details, and it could only be seen that he was very thin.
His gray-purple hair is a little long, fluffy and curly like wool, bangs block most of his face, and he wears glasses. It's hard to see his appearance clearly, but from the fact that his chin is a little softer than ordinary male lines, we can guess He should look more delicate.
"Hi, I know you, Duke Stuart."
The voice was neutral and clear. If Roland hadn't used the masculine "he" to address him, Langdon would have doubted the other party's gender.
"I'm the person Mr. Roland called to help, my name is Charles...Charles Valéry, you can call me Charles."

22. Coach, I want to learn this
Langdon didn't put on airs of a duke, and after a brief acquaintance, the three sat down naturally.
"So, how's the progress now?" Langdon went straight to work, looked through Roland's meeting minutes, and found that Charles had signed a confidentiality contract, and felt more at ease.
The cooperation project between him and Roland is actually very simple to say, it is to use a restaurant in Roland's hand that is on the verge of bankruptcy to conduct a marketing experiment.
After Langdon regained his memory, he discovered that this world might be limited by the development of science and technology and humanities, and was very backward in publicity. At most, it was handing out leaflets and street preaching in the style of ancient Rome, without the fancy routines of later generations.
So Langdon, who was full of thoughts on how to avoid the ending of death, suddenly had an idea.
In the game, not long after the hero of the game came to the Imperial Capital, he heard about a bunch of Huangmao's misdeeds, and saw Huangmao bullying his follower Kane, so he had a bad impression of Huangmao, so that he later killed Huangmao There was no hesitation when talking, and there was no time left for talking.
As for the fact that the male protagonist of the game did not do it himself, but someone who disliked Huangmao and wanted to take the opportunity to relieve the male protagonist of the game, it was also because he knew that after killing Huangmao, no one would take the risk to help someone who offended the saint. , the princess, the son of the prophecy and others, the dude duke to avenge.
Not to mention that after the death of Huang Mao, the head of the Stuart family was Helena - she was just putting on a show.
It can be said that a duke with a yellow hair, who died without any splash, is just a stepping stone on the road of love between the hero and heroine of the game, and it is not worth a CG.
Langdon analyzed it, and felt that the strength of the Stuart family was declining, and the prodigal sons were one after another. By the time of Huangmao's generation, it was almost an empty shell. On the contrary, it is even more exaggerated to squander...
No one looked down upon him without strength. Even if Huang Mao was a fifth-year graduate of the Imperial Academy of Magic, the people around him would not be so indifferent to his death.
Langdon is only in the second grade now, and his blood magic has not been awakened like the yellow hair in the game. It is probably impossible to deter those people with his strength.
But because of the excessive hip-pull publicity in this world, Langdon came up with a way to go the wrong way.
If he had a stronger sense of positive presence, he would have to worry a lot if he dared to attack him, and if he cooperated with himself not to die, would he be able to achieve similar results?
There is a completely different psychological gap between killing a dandy nobleman that no one cares about, and killing a celebrity who is popular on the headlines every day.
The cooperation between Langdon and Roland is to experiment with modern marketing methods, whether it will be unacceptable in a different world.
The person who claimed to be Shire adjusted his glasses: "Mr. Roland said that the promotional content will mention that 'the chef is the royal chef from the kingdom of Sarrière', so let me provide some information about the royal family of Saarière to add more information. Reliability."
Roland explained: "Charles is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Saliere, and he helped me identify some cultural relics from the Kingdom of Saliere before, so as soon as you mentioned it, I immediately thought of asking him for reference."
Langdon was stunned, and said sympathetically, "I see."
The reason why he put the chef's background in the Kingdom of Salieri was because the Kingdom of Salieri was considered dead, and no one would seriously investigate whether there was such a person among so many royal chefs.
The last emperor of the Sarière Kingdom was a tyrant and lunatic. Even the temple withdrew from the territory of the Sarière Kingdom because of blasphemy. Unable to stop the bigwigs from the people, the remnants of the royal family fled in a hurry.
But because of the tyrant, the Kingdom of Sarière has very poor relations with other countries. No country is openly willing to protect the royal family of the Kingdom of Sarière, and they don't know where they went into exile.
So far, the Kingdom of Sarière is still in chaos, and the heroes are divided. I heard that the blood clan wants to eat this cake... It’s okay for the big nobles.
Roland cheered up: "I've already thought about it. When the time comes, I will put a few more decorations of the Kingdom of Saliere in the store, and then let the chef memorize all the information, and say a few words about the Kingdom of Saliere from time to time— —”
"No." Langdon interrupted him. "The more you talk, the bigger the problem."
Roland immediately shut up and looked at Langdon with curious eyes.
Charles didn't speak either, but Langdon thought of something and explained it to him considerately.
"I'm not doubting the credibility of your information, but you don't need to release all the evidence."
Charles seemed a little surprised that Langdon would still consider his thoughts, nodded hesitantly, and said cooperatively, "You mean, half-hidden?"
"Yes, the best effect is to let the customers guess the identity of the chef himself, and the chef must never let the chef say it himself, even if someone asks for a consultation, he can't admit it, and people think that he has some experience. past."
Thinking that it would be impossible to teach everything by himself, and Roland would still need to do more work in the future, Langdon simply took the class, using this as an example to analyze.
Directly admitting "I am indeed the royal chef from the kingdom of Saliere" will not be as effective as the latter, because people always like to question.
But if the attitude is evasive and the answer is ambiguous, customers will instead look for evidence on their own to prove their wit, and eventually when word of mouth spreads, it will become brainwashing and persuasion.
When hearing this part, Charles was just quite surprised. He didn't expect that Duke Langdon would know how to do business.
But what happened next made Charles start to fidget.
"Customers are prohibited from ordering food, only the chef can decide the menu, and even only serve twice a day, with a maximum of ten people at a time. If you want to come, you must make an appointment, and the appointment must often indicate that it is full and the appointment cannot be made... Fundamentally speaking, the reason is the same It’s all about arousing the curiosity of customers.”
"Take away most of the initiative of customers, and respond to customers with a sense of surprise, which is an effect that cannot be achieved by ordering food."
"People have a herd mentality, limit the number of people, and keep the supply less than the demand. This corresponds to this part. The more they can't make an appointment, the more they must make an appointment, because they will subconsciously think that such a popular store must be of high quality."
"As for our target audience, in order to prove that they are superior to others, the aristocrats will not allow stores that they cannot reserve, and the rich will try their best to follow the trend of the aristocrats in order to raise their status...Of course, remember to include them Separate the batches, otherwise the dog-tempered nobles may leave directly when they see the commoners in the same store as them."
"Let the chef move from the back kitchen to the front desk, in addition to the performance, let the chef personally explain the ingredients and the way of tasting the food, whether you want to dip it or not, etc., you don't have to worry about it, nobles like to flaunt it The civilians who follow themselves are different, the more complicated it is, the more it will make these exquisite people feel worthwhile and worthy of their status..."
In fact, to put it bluntly, Langdon took out the marketing routines of the sky-high-priced Japanese high-end restaurants and some online celebrity shops in the later generations, and localized them according to the situation in the different world.
Modern people have never seen any marketing routines, and all of them are well-informed, but this kind of high-priced store is still popular. The boss has a personality and is a Michelin chef who came back from a foreign country. When he comes, he must abide by his rules. Squab pigeons cut a small piece of skin and put it on your plate, claiming that it is the essence, and the rest is the staff meal in the store...
Even this can't stop people from being taken advantage of one after another. In a different world where no one has seen much of the world, the effect won't be bad.
At least Shire, a native of another world, was deeply shocked, and the hand holding his glasses trembled slightly.
The marketing psychology and deception teaching that have surpassed the times for hundreds of years are indeed a bit surprising, and it is a dimensionality reduction blow.
Charles couldn't help but touch the magic contract in his arms quietly.
Should...shouldn't be silenced, right?They've all signed a non-disclosure agreement...
Shouldn't this kind of content be the secret biography of the big family?
As far as this level of understanding of people's hearts is concerned, combined with the propaganda method Roland told him before—it seems to be the Duke's idea—if you change the direction of effort, you can start a war, right?
But the Duke only wanted to use it to promote a restaurant? !
What a waste of money! ! !
No, it is absolutely impossible for a normal person to be so casual. It must be because, to this duke, this level is just a child's play. He has better and more terrifying schemes, so he doesn't care about overkill, or even leaking give him.
Ciel's deep curiosity about Langdon rose in his heart.
As he said before, he had indeed heard of the Duke, but what he heard was not very good. Even when Roland said that the partner was the Duke, Charles thought that there were two Sierra in this country. Duke of Tuart.
It turned out that when I saw the real person today, I realized that Langdon was completely different from the rumors.
If the Langdon in the rumors was a person who was lost in the crowd of dudes and totally unworthy of his acquaintance, then the current Langdon was an existence full of dangerous wisdom like a sage.
He wanted to know Langdon better.
He wanted to learn more from Langdon.
...you have to do something about it.
After the three-person meeting, Charles returned to his foothold in the imperial capital. He—to be precise, she took off his large robe, and inside was a tight-fitting shirt and trousers, revealing her exquisite curves. figure.
She took off the alchemy glasses used to blur gender characteristics, and moved the hair that blocked her vision to the sides. Her delicate and noble beauty was revealed again, and her emerald eyes were absent-minded.
A white-haired old man rushed over and saluted respectfully.
"His Royal Highness Shatiya."
"As I said, it's fine to call me Young Master here, and I'm not really your Highness now."
Shalltear came back to her senses, her voice changed from neutral to softer: "Sebas, I met a very interesting and powerful person."
The old man took the robe and asked respectfully: "The hall... what does the young master want?"
Shalltear raised her hand, her slender and fair fingers curled the broken hair at her temples, and her emerald eyes revealed excited anticipation.
"Cancel the original plan and stay here for a while. I want to learn something from this person."
The old man had no objection, but asked habitually: "Which great sage is it?"
"No, it's the Duke of Stuart, the one you said a few days ago that such a patriarch would be finished in a few years."
Old man: "... what?!"
— Your Highness!What are you going to learn? !
[The number of words in this chapter is exploding, and there will be a monthly ticket of 200 in the evening]
23. Let's be a childcare together (monthly ticket plus change)
"Miss Helena...Miss Helena?"
The maid's soft call brought Helena's consciousness back from half-dream and half-awake.
Helena slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her sore temples, and asked hoarsely, "What time is it?"
The maid replied respectfully: "It's almost noon, Miss Helena."
Helena sat up straight suddenly, and the blanket on her body immediately slid down, followed by dizziness, and she couldn't help falling backwards. Fortunately, there was a backrest at the back, supporting Helena's body.
