"So, did you see Langdon this time? Did he speak back?"

Stuart was in the duke's mansion in the imperial capital, Helena asked softly.

The maid lowered her head deeply: "...Yes, I saw it, but the Duke said that he is not a doctor, and you will not be cured if you see him. He told you to see a doctor. If the doctor is incompetent, you can go to the temple to find the priest."

Helena was speechless for a moment.

Compared with the cold and capable appearance before, Helena now looks much haggard.

She sat weakly against the head of the four-poster bed, the curtains of which were half-drawn to block the sunlight that was somewhat harsh for the patient.

His face was sickly pale, and his red lips had lost their color.

The thin square-neck white nightdress exposed her delicate collarbone and slender neck, and her long dark blue hair was uncommonly let down, with a slightly curved arc, gathered on one shoulder, making her a little more fragile beauty.

It took her a long time to whisper: "...you go down."

Even though there were thousands of words, she didn't intend to say anything to the maid.

All she wanted to do now was to see Langdon, so she could ask him what he was thinking.

Langdon didn't want to see her, and she could understand that, after all, there had been a fight before he left.

But why... why Langdon didn't even want to say "have a good rest, I'll see you again when I'm free", instead he just asked her to call the doctor indifferently?

Of course she called the doctor, but the doctor said it was a heart attack, so she wanted to have a good talk with Langdon.

Langdon is so cold-blooded, even when she is sick, he refuses to let go of his stance?

The performance of maturity is not to be stubborn to the end.

There have been severe quarrels before, and when she had a fever the next day, Langdon would still awkwardly visit her and urge her to take medicine...

As a result, now that Langdon has grown up, he is not as sensible as he was when he was a child.

Why on earth is this happening?

Helena was full of complaints and couldn't complain to the maids, so she could only lament Langdon's changes with Lilica who came to visit her.

Because there is no one else in the room, Lilyka kicked off her restrictive boots a long time ago, stepped on the edge of the chair with her little feet in black stockings, hugged her knees without any manners, and curled up on the armchair, Lazily listening to Helena speak.

After Helena's complaints came to an end, Lilica pondered for a while, slowly took the lollipop out of her mouth, and said.

"Ah... I think Langdon may be, if you don't believe me, you are really sick."

Helena retorted subconsciously: "Why, do I need to lie?"

Lilica looked at Helena with empty black eyes: "You, don't you want to see Langdon? That's the reason."

Helena was stunned, feeling aggrieved in her heart: "Is it because of this? Does he doubt me like this?"

Isn't this something without evidence?

Obviously, if you only need to take a look at her, you can understand that she is not lying, why would you rather doubt her than come to ask for proof?

Lilica tilted her head: "Isn't this enough? The motivation is very convincing."

Helena was brooding: "How can I be convicted based on motives? At least there must be evidence, right?"

Lilyka thought casually.

If there is no evidence, there is even less evidence for Helena to convict Langdon. It is entirely based on other people's mouths.

Although she was also at fault for perjury... But Helena, who chose to trust outsiders instead of Langdon, had a bigger problem than her.

If Helena is willing to trust Langdon, then nothing will happen?

After all, it's Helena's problem.

After being reminded by Lilica, Helena thought about Langdon's misunderstanding of her now, and immediately couldn't sit still.

In any case, she felt that she was justified in the previous quarrel.

But if Langdon thought her illness was a lie, then her authority in Langdon's mind would suddenly be reduced, which Helena could not tolerate.

"I'm going to see Langdon." Helena lifted the quilt, and her long white legs protruded from the hem of her nightgown. "As long as he sees me, he can understand that he misunderstood me."

Lilica said without sincerity: "Probably, but even if this matter is a misunderstanding, it will be over if the misunderstanding is resolved... But what happened to you before is still difficult, right?"

Helena shook her head lightly: "I was not wrong in the first place. I was doing it for his own good. If Langdon finds out that he misunderstood me this time, he will understand how wrong he was. Then he should think about it." There is a way to get my understanding."

Lilyka stared at Helena for a few seconds, and found that Helena was serious.

"...you really, haven't changed at all...then, good luck to you."

Helena hurriedly rang the bell to call the maid, changed her into the dress she was going out in, called the carriage, and sent her to Langdon's new mansion.

This is the first time Helena has seen the house with her own eyes.

She used to think that she was right and could not show weakness, so she refused to bow her head and come to Langdon in person, but now the situation is different, and she can finally see Langdon's new living environment.

The doorman was already familiar with this carriage, but when he saw Helena stepping out of the carriage with a complicated skirt, the doorman was still shocked.

This...why did this eldest lady come in person?

Helena looked at the dazed guard and frowned slightly: "Tell Langdon that I'm coming."

After all, she was the Duke's sister, and the servants couldn't wait outside like the attendants who passed messages back and forth before, so they had to welcome Helena in quickly, and entertained her well in the reception room.

This response from the servants made Helena relax a little.

That's right, no matter how Langdon quarrels with her, she can be regarded as the half master of the Stuart family.

Helena observed the place with scrutiny all the way, but couldn't see anything better than the Duke's Mansion. She couldn't help but began to think of ways to persuade Langdon to go home.

Just as the maid was serving tea to Helena, the door of the reception room suddenly opened.

"I still think—huh? Someone here?"

Helena looked up and saw that it was Langdon's best friend, Roland, and a stranger.

The stranger was wearing a white robe, his hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, the front blocked his view and he did not cut it, and his unsightly glasses also blocked most of his face.

But for some reason, Helena faintly felt a sense of hostility from this stranger.

...As it happens, she also feels bad about this stranger.

Being able to show up with Roland in Langdon's new house, and walking around so casually and impolitely, must be new friends.

Roland was surprised when he saw Helena, but he quickly reacted and quickly saluted: "Miss Helena, why are you here?"

Helena straightened her back, sat on the sofa dignifiedly, and assumed the posture of the master: "I'm here to see Langdon, where is he?"

"Ah... this."

Roland was very embarrassed, because he knew that Langdon didn't want to see Helena at all, but as a businessman, it was really difficult for him to say something rude to the nobleman.

At this moment, Shalltear suddenly spoke.

"Your Excellency the Duke is very busy now, do you have an appointment?"

[Bad news: Due to some technical adjustments, the appearance of the princess has been postponed]

[Good news: there will be a monthly ticket to add updates in the evening, and there will be rewards to add updates tomorrow]

27. The Intimate Past (Monthly Pass Plus)

Helena's gaze turned to Shalltear, and she asked displeasedly, "Who are you?"

It's only been a few days since Kane was fired by Langdon, and Langdon has met strange people again.

That's why she said that if you want to make friends, it's best to let her meet first. She really doesn't trust Langdon's eyesight.

"Hi, I'm Charles Valery, I'm sort of the Duke's secretary."

Shalltear lowered her voice, making her voice sound more masculine, and at the same time gave herself a nickname without changing her expression.

Helena recalled a little bit: "Ah, this surname, could it be from the Kingdom of Sarière..."

"Correct."

"...I see, good day, Monsieur Valéry."

Knowing Shalltear's noble status only eased Helena's expression a little.

Helena discriminated against all Langdon's self-acquainted friends equally, even if they were nobles, she felt that they should be playboys.

After all, who would be able to play with Langdon?

Anyway, it is impossible to be a scholar who devotes himself to research, a talented magician, let alone a nobleman with a standard of morality.

This secretary who appeared out of nowhere, Langdon just picked one from among his friends, didn't he?The secretary will have access to the important documents of the family, and Langdon is too outrageous...

However, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Shalltear in her heart, Helena did not reveal her thoughts on the surface, but repeated: "Since Mr. Valery is his secretary... then I want to see Langdon, who can replace me Pass it on to Langdon?"

Xia Tiya adjusted her glasses, and the lenses reflected instantly: "Then please answer my question first, do you have an appointment?"

Helena felt that Shalltear was baffled: "I am his older sister!"

Sister sees brother, when do you need to make an appointment?

Xia Tiya nodded: "That means, you don't have an appointment."

Helena: "...???"

What's the matter with this man? !Did Langdon know his secretary was so arrogant? !

Seeing Helena's shocked expression, Roland turned to look at Shalltear in admiration.

Every time he saw Helena's cold eyes, he would shudder. How dare Charles talk to Helena like that... As expected of Charles!Much tougher than him, the son of a merchant!

Even though Shalltear's expression was almost completely invisible, could Helena know that Shalltear was deliberately blocking her with words?

For a moment, Helena almost wondered if Langdon's criteria for recruiting a secretary was "who dares to yell at my sister to stop her from seeing me".

If this is the case, she can understand why Langdon didn't choose from the family, but went outside to find this kind of guy who didn't know the details.

This made Helena feel angry again.

Why did Langdon do so many meaningless things in order not to see her?

At this moment, Helena suddenly heard something moving outside.

Theoretically speaking, the reception room is very soundproof, but Helena is very uncomfortable at the moment, and even the slightest movement will cause a headache. This side effect made her accidentally catch Langdon's voice, which she shouldn't be able to hear. .

Could it be that Langdon is outside now?

As Helena guessed, Langdon had indeed reached the door of the reception room.

He received a report from the maid and found out that someone had let Helena in, and immediately felt a headache.

Next, he has business to discuss with Charles and the others. Helena's appearance at this time will greatly affect his work.

It's not that he's afraid of Helena, he just finds it troublesome.

Every time I talk to Helena, I feel so tired, it doesn't make sense at all, it's like a chicken talking to a duck.

And Helena was also inexplicably paranoid, no matter what he did, she would never give up.

This persistent energy was put on other things, and Langdon could still praise the perseverance.

But in this situation he encountered, Langdon just wanted to say...

Very scary.

He had to hurry over.

The maids on both sides opened the door, Langdon frowned and looked in, thinking that he would see the familiar adoptive sister who looked at him with dissatisfied eyes and was dressed in strict and dignified clothes.

However, because of Helena's physical discomfort, her hair was not coiled up as before, but spread out like seaweed, and she only used a gem headband with a pearl hairnet to make her face look like a small one. a little bit.

She also didn't wear the dignified dress she likes, but a long dress with a comfortable imperial style.

On the pale and delicate face, the beautiful ice-blue eyes did not have the accusatory emotion of the past, but instead carried a kind of melancholy sadness.

"Langdon, are you finally willing to see me?"

Langdon sighed and said to the other two, "Sorry, I'm a little..."

Roland nodded sensibly, and walked out quickly.

On the contrary, Shalltear hesitated for a few seconds, as if she wanted to stay and help: "If you need help..."
