Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

54. Can’t aggravate the psychological shadow anymore (reward plus more)

Hearing Langdon's words suddenly, Shalltear was startled.

She was able to hide her gender for such a long time, thanks to the alchemy glasses. If Langdon was to see her face clearly, the glasses must be removed, and her secret would not be able to be concealed.

In fact, having worked with Langdon for such a period of time, Shalltear also knew that Langdon was not someone who would discriminate against her because of her gender. In any other situation, she would probably have confessed.

But the question is... Isn't Langdon suspected of having a psychological shadow on girls?

Think about the adoptive sister who has occupied the magpie's nest, then think about the former guard who can give someone a sword in class, and think about Qingmei who turned her face and refused to recognize anyone... She is Langdon, and she is also afraid of women.

And she just joined the job, before Langdon joked that it was a good thing she was a man, and then she suddenly got such a big thunder...

I always feel that Langdon's misophobia will become more serious! ! !Maybe he will become suspicious because of this, and even become afraid of men! ! !

How could she be the sinner who made Langdon become like that? !

She just wants to work hard, and she must not lose the trust of her boss because of this kind of thing!

So Shalltear adjusted her glasses nervously, her wool-like soft and curly bangs swayed, and continued to block her face: "I don't like being stared at..."

Well, she couldn't think of a plausible reason, and hoped Langdon wouldn't take it too seriously.

Who knew that Langdon was very understanding: "I understand."

Dead house, I guess she used to be the kind of scholar who put her head down and studied hard. Judging from her performance at the beginning, she knew that she was not very good at communicating with people, and she might also suffer from sight phobia... How could he force the best work under his command? What about people?

So Langdon felt that he understood Shatia very well, and began to draw an exclusive pie: "As long as you work hard, don't say you don't want to show your face, let me streamline some work processes for you, and reduce the number of times you show your face at work. It's not impossible."

Shalltear: "...It doesn't have to be like this."

Langdon let Shallia go with a smile, and then asked about Shallia's study by the way: "Speaking of which, my palace director didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

After all, Xiatiya is not from the Stuart Principality, and she doesn't know much about the situation of the Stuart family. She was suddenly asked to be an assistant officer, and Xiatiya herself was very worried, for fear that something might happen.

It just so happened that Langdon had sent the head of the principality's palace affairs to the imperial capital with the group of maids and servants who had come to change people, and handed over some important tasks. By the way, he also asked Shatia to teach Shalltear how to be an assistant officer.

After all, before Langdon decides not to study magic anymore, he will probably not leave the imperial capital for the time being, so the government affairs center of the Principality of Stuart has actually moved to the imperial capital...

At this time, I can thank Helena, because she has intervened too much before. The head of the palace of the Principality of Stuart has already made a plan to relocate the imperial capital, and now it just happens to be available.

Anyway, it’s not like this happened before. For example, a certain generation of emperors in August didn’t like the environment of the imperial capital and traveled everywhere, but they had to work, so the prime minister set up a system of mobile government affairs processing centers. It happened to be used as a reference.

I just don't know if Charles is suitable...

"I didn't make things difficult for me. He taught very well. Recently, he is tutoring some situations in our principality."

Shalltear has naturally called the Principality of Stuart our Principality, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's expensive to raise soldiers."

Perhaps because of her status as the princess of a subjugated country, Shalltear is particularly concerned about the level of combat power of the country.

"Especially the magician I raised, it's really expensive..."

Speaking of this, Langdon couldn't help but want to sigh: "Yeah, obviously I didn't do anything, but hiring a magician is a long-term cost of money, otherwise he would go to work for someone else... Tsk."

This is definitely the emperor's conspiracy.

Because the imperial school of magic is free of tuition, and even includes food and housing, and there is no need to worry about work after graduation, so as long as people with magical talents are willing to go to the imperial capital to go to school.

Outsiders don't understand that as long as they can graduate from the Imperial School of Magic, they are collectively called magicians, but in fact they are divided into classes.

For example, you must graduate from grades 1 to 2, and those who can't advance to higher education are basically trash, and no one who knows how to do it will treat them as magicians.

The attack power that ordinary people imagined would be enough to wipe out a house of dozens of square meters if a magic spell went down, at least it had to be at the level of a fifth-grade graduate.

It’s fine for those who graduate from the fourth grade, and they can work normally when they return to their hometown. Graduates from the fifth grade and above, especially magicians who are excellent in combat and defense, that’s a big deal. The lord of the hometown I dare not speak loudly to him, and I have to negotiate in a friendly voice and give a similar price before I can hire someone.

So in this world, magicians are the people at the top of the pyramid, and he is really nothing like a duke, which is why Langdon didn't give up and insisted on dying in the magic school.

By the way, because the previous generations of dukes spent too much money and lived in peace for too long, they felt that it was not worth raising too many magicians. As a result, there is only one court magician in the Principality of Stuart now, and it is still the main defense department. Yes, the attack power is a bit difficult to describe...

Xia Tiya said: "The director of palace affairs means that he wants to reduce military expenditures, such as disbanding one or two..."

Langdon blurted out, "No!"

The demons are about to invade, is it time to cut military spending and disband the Principality's army to farm?He is not crazy!

Seeing Langdon's reaction, Shalltear felt relieved: "I don't think so either."

Her country is that the father and the emperor are very stingy with military expenditures, which leads to the upper class being full and the civilians recruited below living in misery. The last group of people combined together and united with ordinary people to rebel.

The magicians were also displeased with her father's arrogant attitude for a long time, and they were a bit perfunctory in their work. As a result, there were blood clans in the rebel army on the opposite side to help... In short, the power to protect the country must be taken seriously.

The appearance of the Son of Prophecy was only circulated internally. After all, everyone knew that the appearance of the Son of Prophecy meant that the demons would make a big move, and if it spread, it would cause riots. Langdon had no plan to tell Shalltear now. I can only exhort.

"In short, military expenditure cannot be cut, and the city wall should be repaired as soon as it is necessary. The necessary expenses cannot be saved."

Shalltear wrote it down seriously: "Okay, then there shouldn't be any big expenses recently..."

"Speaking of expenses." Langdon remembered something, "Although it's still early, it's almost time to start preparing the birthday present for the Seventh Princess."

Shatiya's note-taking hand paused for a moment: "Do you know Princess Seven?"

"I haven't seen it at all, but His Majesty invited me to her birthday party this time. Who let me be in the imperial capital? This kind of banquet must be to find a husband for the princess, and families of similar status will be invited there."

Langdon thought that the nobles would probably be very disappointed this time, and the emperor's goal might be the Son of Prophecy.

"In short, the gift helped me choose someone who is low-key and not loses my status. I don't want to be misunderstood as interested in the princess... I hope everyone will treat me as a passerby."

For such a simple wish, God must have mercy on him and help him realize it.

55. I am Langdon's sister

For Langdon, the birthday party of the Seventh Princess of the Empire was just a small trouble.

He knew very well that this was the scene where the male protagonist of the game and the female protagonist of the official supporting role met, and it had nothing to do with him, so after he asked Shatia to prepare the gift according to the etiquette, he put it behind him, and probably wanted the banquet soon. It was only at the beginning that I remembered.

But for many others, the importance of this birthday party is strong.

For example, nobles with marriageable women in their families will find ways to participate in this kind of banquet with a strong purpose of blind date-the princess can only marry one person, and of course let other people choose the rest!

There are also some reasons for attending the banquet that cannot be clearly stated. For example, Langdon's aunt's daughter and his serious cousin are also planning to attend the banquet.

This cousin Mary was older than Langdon, she was nearly 30 years old, and she had already married the second son of a certain Marquis, but this year her husband died because of a fall from a horse, so she became a more popular widow.

The reason why she didn't have time to attend the funeral of the former Grand Duke Stuart was because she was preparing for her husband's funeral herself, so she really didn't have the time to spare. Otherwise, given her relationship with Langdon, even if she was married, she would still be able to stand in the front row. .

Fortunately, she didn't come too late, at least she could catch up with the Seventh Princess' birthday party.

Due to lack of information, this cousin Mary didn't know that Helena and Langdon had broken up. After arriving in the imperial capital, she visited the duke's mansion in the capital of God according to the etiquette.

Helena had just tried her best to send away her distant relatives who were seriously forced into marriage, when she received her cousin Mary again.

Fortunately, this cousin Mary had no interest in Helena's private life, she just wanted to visit her cousin.

Cousin Mary is ten years older than Langdon, so she got married when Langdon was still young, but it is a fact that the blood relationship is close. Even if they haven't seen each other for many years, they can still be let in by the guards of the Duke's mansion, and there are maids dedicated to serving her. .

When Helena got the news, Cousin Mary was already drinking tea and waiting in the reception room.

Because she was not in the mood, Helena hadn't dressed properly for several days, and when a guest came suddenly, she could only hastily comb her hair, changed into a well-fitting dress and ran to receive her.

All the noble women have sharp eyes, not to mention Helena's energy is gone, as long as her eyes are not blind, she can see that something is wrong.

Cousin Mary looked at Helena in surprise, almost spilling the tea in the teacup she was holding.

This... is this still the famous ice rose?

Although Cousin Mary and Langdon are closer in blood, sometimes there are more exchanges between female relatives. Cousin Mary still remembers that when she met Helena last year, she was not in such a haggard and melancholy manner.

Look at the ends of Helena's hair!God, dare she say that Helena hasn't taken good care of her beautiful dark blue hair for at least half a month!

And Helena's complexion, even with makeup, her dark circles could not be covered up, making her youthful and delicate face pale... Is this insomnia?

Cousin Mary was a little confused, wondering what happened to make the strong Helena look like this.

But nobles pay attention to seeing through without revealing. Cousin Mary pretended not to notice the change in Helena, and chatted about her reason for coming with a smile: "...the eldest son must be reserved for the eldest daughter of a big family, but for a widow like me Sons and sons, they are still very attractive..."

The implication is that Cousin Mary's husband had just died, and she was planning to find a suitable next family, and she also ordered a small fresh meat.

Although it's not nice to say it, it's a common thing among the nobles. Helena wasn't too surprised, but just followed the topic: "In that case, you need an invitation letter."

"Langdon must have an invitation letter. Has he invited a female companion?" Cousin Mary asked.

Although she felt that Helena must also have an invitation letter, participating in the palace ball is a rare experience for young ladies, and it would be better for her not to deprive her of it, so she wanted to choose Langdon's place.

However, Helena looked down at her teacup, concealed her uneasy expression, and answered in a low voice, "... probably not."

Cousin Mary finally couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Don't even know this... It seems that there is something wrong between Helena and Langdon.

Most likely it was a matter of fighting for power and profit. She had long felt that her uncle duke had not handled it well in this regard, but in her capacity, it was difficult to say anything.

But even if it wasn't for this reason, even if it was Langdon's problem, she would definitely stand on Langdon's side. Who told Langdon to be her younger brother... Even because of the age gap, she could justify Langdon as her son. Still spoiled.

Cousin Mary had some thoughts about Helena in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, and continued to get to the point: "I plan to borrow here, Helena, do you have any opinions?"

Of course Helena had an opinion.

If she stayed here, wouldn't she know that Langdon would never come back here?Then her self-esteem, her pain...wouldn't they all be exposed...

Therefore, Helena's answer was somewhat reluctant: "Ask Langdon..."

Cousin Mary smiled and said, "Langdon will definitely agree."

Her unintentional words, like a sharp thorn, pierced deeply into Helena's heart, growing bloody thorns.

Obviously... Cousin Mary hadn't seen Langdon for so many years, and even met her more than Langdon, but Cousin Mary was still so confident that Langdon would not refuse her request.

If it was her, could she also have such confidence?

Helena didn't dare to think deeply, but the anxiety constantly coming from her subconscious was enough to make her extremely painful under such a comparison.

However, what made Helena even more irritating was still to come.

The person she sent to inform Langdon might not even be out of the stable, but the maid had already come to report beamingly: "Your Excellency the Duke has arrived at the door!"

The atmosphere in the entire Duke's mansion suddenly became heated—since the group of them arrived in the imperial capital, most of them have never even seen the Duke!It's like being thrown into limbo!

They all knew that Miss Helena had angered the Duke, and they thought that they would have no future in this life and only serve Miss Helena. They didn't expect that there would be a day when they would meet their master!

Cousin Mary didn't know why, and was a little confused by the inexplicably high-pitched atmosphere of the maids.

Are you not going to school today?Langdon came back so early... As she was thinking, she looked at Helena, wanting to ask a question, but when she turned her head, she could only see Helena staring at the door, so that she ignored the question. caught her questioning gaze.

Now, of course, Helena would not think that Langdon returned to this seemingly forgotten Duke's mansion just to see her.

But it would be even harder for Helena to accept that Langdon had come back because of his unfamiliar cousin Mary.

Langdon was her brother!She's the one Langdon grew up with!

Helena screamed in her heart, but in reality she could only clenched her skirt tightly and looked nervously at the door of the reception room.

Anyway, this was Langdon's first return home after moving out. How should she behave and what should she say?

Before Helena sorted out her chaotic thoughts, Langdon's familiar voice had already sounded.

"elder sister!"

Helena subconsciously raised her head to agree, but saw Langdon walk into the room quickly and embrace Cousin Mary warmly.

"Sister! Long time no see! Why did you suddenly come to the imperial capital?"

Helena's beautiful face lost all blood in an instant.

[ps: The holiday is gone, so I won't add any updates today, let Jiu take it easy...]

56. This is my sister

The reason why Langdon reappeared in the Duke's mansion after many days was undoubtedly because of Cousin Mary.

Cousin Mary thought that Langdon still lived in the school, so she sent her letter to the Imperial Magic School. Langdon, who was about to leave the school, just received the letter. After reading the content, he simply let the carriage drive to the Duke's mansion because he was on the way. past.

Although I haven't seen my cousin Mary for a long time, but this is the child of my father's sister, and I feel close to him just thinking about it.
