Langdon was already lying down, but probably because he still had something to do in his heart and felt that he hadn't finished it, or he was more alert than usual due to the attack today. When Bellatrix opened the window, he woke up in a daze. come over.

"Princess? Why are you here now..."

Bellatrix had listened to Shalltear's melon, and she was inexplicably upset when she heard it, and her mind was full of disrupting Shalltear's plan, but now seeing Langdon, she suddenly remembered that she left Langdon today. As a result, Langdon was attacked.

The perplexity and entanglement that had been suppressed surfaced again.

Bellatrix hesitated in response: "Hmm..."

Langdon didn't care about her attitude, anyway, he didn't feel any murderous intent, so he yawned and got straight to the point: "Where did we talk yesterday?"

Bellatrix couldn't help asking: "Is there nothing you want to ask me?"

"...?" Langdon didn't wake up, and he couldn't keep up with his thoughts for a while, "What do you want to ask?"

Bellatrix pursed her lips, and even in the dark night without the lights on, she raised her hand and spread her fan to cover her face, her eyes wandering: "It's just... I could have saved you... You don't blame me ?”

She was very sensitive to other people's emotions, and thought that Langdon would be resentful or dissatisfied, but she didn't expect that she could only feel the same peace from Langdon as usual.

"That's it?" Langdon laughed, "Don't you know that I have props on me? You don't need to save them. And I always knew you were this kind of person, so there's nothing to care about? Back then you left me and ran away , I didn't say anything."

Bellatrix fell silent.

He was very tolerant, but the meaning of this answer was not that he forgave her like a good old man, but that he didn't expect anything from her from the very beginning.

She had always known that Langdon was wary of her, treating her like a difficult guest... She was also self-conscious about what she was doing, and she didn't think that the real herself was so likable.

But she could accept it before, and she didn't think there was any problem with it, why now...

Ah... So that's because, she has changed her mind.

Obviously she really wanted to save Langdon this time, but Langdon didn't know it at all, and she wouldn't be trusted even if she said it. The guy who tipped him off.

Even if her attitude towards Langdon changed, Langdon's attitude towards her never changed.

This feeling of unfairness made Bellatrix's chest tight.

But it is impossible for her to say something like "I actually want to help you" to Langdon. Haven't heard the story yet?

Langdon didn't know why Bellatrix was silent. He didn't even have the slightest interest in the topic just now. He just said sleepily: "I remember what I said before, let's continue today..."

"I didn't come to listen to the story today." Bellatrix interrupted him a little irritably, "Don't you always think that I know something and I will keep it from you? I heard important information this time … Believe it or not, do you want to hear it?”

Langdon finally showed a surprised expression.

"……want."

52. Tell you a story called The Farmer and the Snake (3k)

Langdon was genuinely prejudiced against Bellatrix.

For example, before he applied for a job as a magician, Bellatrix came to him and told him that he would be very happy to meet Bridget-senpai... His first reaction was that Bellatrix was talking ironically.

And Bellatrix's subsequent performance also confirmed that she knew he would be suspicious, so she told him so on purpose. As for the purpose, it was probably to watch the excitement.

So this time, Bellatrix ran over in the middle of the night and said that she had something important to tell him, and Langdon also subconsciously felt that Bellatrix had malicious intentions...but Langdon didn't care about Bellatrix's intentions. Well, anyway, listen to it first.

Then Langdon, who hadn't woken up and couldn't concentrate, was woken up by a thunderbolt.

Bellatrix: "Your assistant is a girl."

Langdon: "...??? Who's the girl?!?!"

"Who else could it be? Don't you only have one assistant officer?"

Langdon froze.

His only assistant, Charles Valéry... was a girl? !

Langdon's first reaction was that it was impossible.

But Bellatrix would not tease him with such an easily exposed lie...

But to put it that way, Charles always wears glasses, and his hair is long. Even he has never seen Charles's uncovered face, and he often wears gender-ambiguous scholar's robes. Can't see anything clearly... Wait, has he seen Charles' Adam's apple?

"But why? Is it necessary?"

Langdon couldn't understand that he was not the kind of guy who discriminated against women, let alone women, even transvestites, as long as he had the ability, he was willing to recruit them.

Ah, is it because he complained about his fear of women? !

But that's just a joke! ! !I'm afraid he has replaced all the maids with servants long ago! ! !

He just wanted to complain that there are too many top-notch girls around him... No, he's complaining after getting acquainted, but when he first met, the other party was already dressed as a man.

After brainstorming for a while, Langdon suddenly came to his senses and looked up in Bellatrix's direction, looking at those golden eyes that glowed faintly like cats in the dark night.

"Is that all you want to talk about about his...er, her gender? Do you know anything else?"

The corners of Bellatrix's mouth curled up.

It's really rare, even if it's just to get the next information from her, the fact that Langdon can ask her is enough for Bellatrix to feel better.

She put aside all her previous entanglements and dissatisfaction, and regained her sense of joy.

"If you want to know, just..."

Halfway through the conversation, Bellatrix suddenly realized that rather than flattering her, Langdon would actually prefer to ask Shalltear directly.

As long as Langdon asks, Shalltear, who has no need to hide anything, will definitely tell the whole story, so wouldn't she just make a trip in vain?

Sure enough, before Bellatrix even finished her sentence, Langdon had already consciously touched the coat on the bedside, looking as if he was about to go out to work overtime.

Bellatrix immediately held Langdon down and pushed him back on the bed: "It's not like I won't say anything!"

Langdon returned to his original position without hesitation.

He didn't intend to confront someone now, but he just wanted to put a little pressure on Bellatrix, so that she would know that she was not the only choice... It was a very basic negotiating skill.

After all, if you really go to the party, you may encounter a situation where you need to give a promise or answer on the spot. If you don't go to the party directly, you can have a little buffer time, at least you can think about it overnight.

In the middle of the night, after another day of tossing, he was tired and sleepy, and he didn't want to think about too complicated issues.

Experience tells him that it is best not to make important decisions at this time, and there is a 70.00% probability that he will regret it.

Bellatrix was not very happy when she was being held, but she knew that Langdon, who was short of sleep, would not be very patient, so after a few seconds of silence, she answered obediently.

"Shire's real name should be Shatia, she is a princess of a country, but her country should have been destroyed, and her imperial brother came with the mission of the Heka Empire, mainly to arrest her and marry Heka The second prince of the empire..."

Langdon listened with a stern face and indifference, except for the very obvious shock at the beginning. Even Bellatrix, who was very sensitive to emotions, could not feel his emotional tendency at all.

Bellatrix was really curious, and when she had finished speaking, she asked tentatively, "Are you angry? She has hidden a lot from you. If you are not careful, it will become a national conflict!"

"I'm a little angry, but it's not incomprehensible... She told me before that she has secrets and enemies... I didn't get to the bottom of it."

Langdon sighed.

Although what Bellatrix said was not detailed enough, unlike the politically blind Bellatrix, the information was enough for Langdon to guess the rest.

The subjugated princess and the royal family were secretly hidden by the Heka Empire...they must be members of the Sarière Dynasty.

When Shalltear faked her identity, she knew that the most dangerous is the safest. She didn't completely avoid the relationship with Sarière, so she set up a god of the exiled nobles of Sarière to explain her love for Sarière. Sad civilization and excessive concern for the people.

Now it seems that nobles are indeed nobles, but they are much more noble than imagined.

However, now that the Sarière dynasty has been overthrown, the royal family is a little more miserable than ordinary nobles. At least the ordinary nobles will not be torn to pieces by the angry people when they return home. Even he knows that members of the Sarière royal family are offering rewards on the black market. .

Wanting to escape marriage and avoid being caught by the bounty hunters for money, Shalltear's concealment was for a very good reason. No matter how much Langdon hated being cheated, he couldn't say anything.

After all, his original intention was not to lie to him, but to protect himself. How cold-blooded would he be to accuse a person of not trying to live?

... Even now he is a little bit thinking of arresting Xia Tiya's imperial brother for money.

Langdon concluded: "Understanding is understanding. It is really troublesome to get involved in this kind of thing. I need to think about it..."

He understood, but Bellatrix couldn't understand at all. She interrupted Langdon: "Wait, are you thinking of helping her?"

Langdon explained: "Just thinking about..."

Bellatrix's tone was full of inconceivability: "It's strange that you still think about it! They are even discussing how to use you now!"

"It's not taking advantage, it's asking for help..."

If you only know Shalltear's real gender today, and save other things for later, then Langdon may indeed become more and more angry, and his sense of trust and security will collapse again... In fact, it did collapse at the beginning .

But almost as soon as he got angry, Bellatrix had already started talking about the cause and effect, and Langdon was a person with high empathy, so he quickly understood the plight Shalltear was in and the reason why he had to lie to him. reason.

After all, Langdon did regard Shalltear as a friend. This friend had devoted himself to him for so long, and he only stayed because of his strong invitation. It was promised that Shalltear would come to him if she had any problems, and he would help.

Compared with that bitter and vengeful life experience, Xia Tiya's gender issue seems to be nothing worth mentioning.

No matter how much Langdon thinks "Why are you a woman again, it's troublesome to have so many things about women", at this moment it is impossible to use the reason "I can't help you because you are a woman" to refuse. like a pompous chauvinist...

However, I have to say that the timing of this exposure is very good.

Langdon had just met Bridget, and received some emotional feedback from senior sister Bridget that he had always needed. Knowing what he had done in the past, there were indeed people who would benefit from his help, and even life changed.

This gradually melted Langdon's frozen heart, and he was willing to use a softer method to deal with the affairs of the people around him.

And it's all about consideration, he doesn't want to make a decision on this occasion!

We must wait until the brain is clearer, ask the person in person, and listen to more detailed information before talking about it!

If the risk is high, Langdon will of course be more responsible for his principality, and it is impossible to bite the bullet just for a promise.

But these considerations would naturally not be understood by Bellatrix.

She just felt that Langdon, a good old man, was so stupid that he couldn't be cured: "You guy... you don't have a long memory at all, and you want to help anyone? Do you really want to be a saint?"

Langdon repeated mechanically: "It's for consideration... Of course, I don't want to help everyone. For example, if I see you being taken away by people with malicious intentions, I know that you definitely don't need help, so don't make a mess of it." Heavenly sages and sages have spoken of me."

In the darkness that no one knew, Bellatrix showed a stinging expression.

"... Forget it, whatever you want!" Bellatris clenched her fan tightly, "Tell me a story—don't follow up on yesterday's one, I want to hear a story about a good man who is not rewarded."

Langdon: "...Why do you have such a big opinion on good people, don't you see good people?"

What a strange habit!If it was him, of course he hoped that there would be as many good people as possible!

Bellatrix was silent for a few seconds.

Just when Langdon thought she would not answer, she spoke in a slow, confused tone.

"...I just feel that since it didn't appear when I needed it, it would be better if this kind of thing never existed...Isn't it possible?"

Langdon faintly felt that something was wrong, but he was really sleepy, and his mind was almost out of control, so he could only make simple comments in his heart.

It meant that she didn't have a candle herself, so she was going to put out the lights of others... What kind of person is this!

In business, I hate to meet such a guy who harms others and does not benefit himself!

Langdon decided to skip the subject and hurried off to bed after finishing the story.

"Then I will tell you a story about "The Farmer and the Snake" tonight."

This is short, you can rest after finishing the lecture, let's listen to Xia Tiya's speech tomorrow... If he intends to ask for help and hides a lot of things, then he doesn't have to be too concerned about Xia Tiya's matter.

...That is, it is better not to be too sincere when making friends in the future, I always feel that there will be psychological shadows.

[ps: Added more!It's early today, good night everyone~]

53. Nurse: Do you think he can't see it (3k)

Bellatrix was a fool tonight.

Langdon quickly finished the story of the farmer and the snake, which was so short and difficult to break up. Bellatris did not express any dissatisfaction, nor was she angry at being caught. Instead, she said good night normally as before, and then He left through the window again.

Langdon thought for a while, got out of bed and locked the window.

Too many things happened today, and it felt like he couldn't bear to be woken up by someone coming in through the window in the early morning... Whether it was his own or the enemy, he was not allowed to affect his sleep.

But Bellatrix ran over and stuffed him with such a big melon. Langdon was obviously sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while, and could only think in a daze.

Charles... No, Shalltear, she usually looks like an ordinary workaholic, but she didn't expect her background to be so complicated.

Compared with Xia Tiya, I always feel that what I have encountered is nothing, as if he is very hypocritical... Xia Tiya is a girl who has such a difficult life, but she can cheer up, enrich herself and work hard. Can't be too decadent!

I hope Shalltear won't let him down, and make it clear, instead of continuing to conceal key information in order to deceive him for help.
