Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

The next day, Langdon showed up at the restaurant yawning from sleep deprivation.

After sitting at the dining table, Langdon found that, except for Senior Bridget, it seemed that everyone was not in a good state of mind.

Not to mention the eldest nephew who hasn't woken up yet, Bellatrix, who had been tossing until the early morning yesterday, frowned and stirred the porridge in the bowl, looking absent-minded and having no appetite.

Shalltear seemed to have drunk the spiritual potion, and she felt unnaturally uplifted, which was in stark contrast to her embarrassed attitude.

Flora was seriously injured yesterday. Although the saint's physique recovered quickly, her face was still a little pale. At this moment, she glanced at Langdon, and then at her left...

The most comfortable person at the table, apart from Bridget who was concentrating on cooking, was the nanny who just arrived last night and was sitting on Flora's left.

Theoretically speaking, as a nanny, she cannot be on the table, and she will be said to have no rules.

But in Langdon's position, his words are the rules, not to mention that the nanny is not just a nanny, but also the biological mother of the saint. Even if she still considers herself Langdon's nanny, others dare not really treat her as a nanny. , respect her very much, and cooperate with Langdon's attitude. As long as the nanny is willing, she can even get the treatment that Langdon's mother used to, but she doesn't want to get too much preferential treatment.

At this moment, the nanny looked at Langdon lovingly. Anyway, there is no rule of not eating or sleeping, so she said worriedly at the dining table: "I just heard that something happened when I arrived last night, so it's not easy to give it to me." You're making trouble, it's too late after the rest of the process... I finally saw you, and I feel that you're a little thinner, so you're really tired, right?"

This kind of treatment that they can have breakfast with Langdon when they just came to the castle without seeing Langdon, is not available to others, but Langdon takes it for granted when it is put on the nanny.

"There are quite a lot of things to deal with, and it will be fine when the work is over." Langdon enjoyed the care of the nanny, and replied with a smile, "Where is the nanny, the road is bumpy, did you have a good rest last night?"

"Hey, it's pretty good. I'm still troublesome to arrange so many things. In fact, I'll just come back with you normally..."

Langdon flatly refused: "I'm too rushed to come back, and I haven't made any arrangements. The people below are all busy, as long as the nanny's journey goes well."

Langdon didn't have high requirements for his own treatment, but he cared very much for his nanny. He couldn't accept her suffering, so he asked his subordinates to arrange a comfortable return trip for her, so she arrived so much later than them.

After hesitating for a moment, Langdon made a formal statement in order to reassure the nanny: "I'm sorry to say that Flora got hurt yesterday while trying to help me. You came just in time. She probably wants to see you most now."

Langdon has always known that although the nurse has always treated him like his own son, he is not his own after all, but Flora. , the nurse was too ashamed to come to see him for a long time.

Now Langdon also wants to express a meaning to the nanny, she can no longer be entangled, and just return to the way it was before.

The nanny arrived last night and had a good chat with Flora, but it was only now that Langdon finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed smile: "Flora is causing you trouble."

"Let's pass the previous ones. Recently, she has really helped me a lot."

Langdon commented very pertinently. After all, even if he didn't understand it, he should understand that it would be troublesome for Flora to provide [Divine Blood].

Yesterday was a private conversation, but now saying this in front of so many people shows that Langdon's attitude will not change again. Flora's eyes that have been wandering all the time have finally dared to directly focus on Langdon.

She gave Langdon a coy smile.

After Flora returned to her room in despair last night, she saw the nanny who had just arrived in the castle and was waiting to see her in the room.

After all, she was her own mother, and the nanny was startled by the blood stains on Flora's body, but after knowing that she was fine, she immediately became concerned about her sluggish mental state.

Flora's suppressed emotions collapsed in an instant, and she cried bitterly while hugging her mother. The nurse tried to comfort her for a long time, and finally extracted the general situation from Flora's emotional description.

"Woooooo... He forgave me, but I'm not happy at all... Why did this happen... What do you mean you can't trust me anymore..."

Flora was not in the mood to change her clothes, and just sat there wiping tears.

The nanny already understood what Flora had been doing during this period of time, and she was a little speechless for a while, before she said, "Langdon is right, he really doesn't know you anymore."

"So I'm trying to make up for it!"

"It's your compensation!!!"

The nurse's head is getting big: "You can make Langdon say such things, there is something wrong with your approach... You are too anxious, can't you take your time? Slow down, keep a low profile... Your previous urgency And frankly flattering, maybe Langdon will be even more frightened! The biggest psychological shadow he has on you is that he doesn't know you anymore? You didn't do that when you were his maid , and now suddenly..."

Flora was still a little dissatisfied: "Why don't you take it slow? He's going to get married soon! If you keep a low profile, it's useless if he doesn't know that I did it? If I don't do this, Langdon won't even want to see me , I can only please a little more..."

"You were obviously very smart when you were young, but why are you so stupid now." The nanny's face was inconceivable, "Who told you to do this? Don't say you thought of it yourself."

"...Don't ask, I want to discuss it with you, but weren't you on the way at that time?"

Flora also faintly felt that something was wrong now, suspecting that she was tricked by the son of prophecy who claimed that "men know how to chase men best".

The nanny sighed: "Think about it, when you were a child, did you do those things to please Langdon?"

"........."

"Have you realized it? You wanted to do it yourself. You just want to make Langdon happy. This kind of intention is the most touching. Now you are helping and pleasing with a purpose, 'to get forgiveness'. Do you think Langdon can't see it?"

Flora was stunned: "I, I didn't realize..."

The nanny sighed worryingly: "The only thing you did right was to help Langdon block you a little bit today, although mom doesn't want you to cherish yourself so much, oh...forget it, the one who should be scolded has scolded you just now, anyway, It was also because of your subconscious reaction that finally moved Langdon, the point is not what you did, but why you did it, understand?"

"why……"

Flora felt as if she understood.

That's right, that's right!

Langdon's complicated expression at that time, and the fact that he said "I found that I can no longer trust her", was because Langdon was probably affected by her recent intentional flattery, so he probably also doubted whether the attack she blocked might be the same. Purposeful action.

But in the end, Langdon chose to forgive her, because he still believed that her reaction was really subconscious this time.

Although it was a kind of comforting trust after careful consideration, it was still trust after all. Maybe things were not as difficult as I thought yesterday!

"Finally understand?" The nanny looked at her child with distress and headache, "Be calm, don't add new anxiety to Langdon by changing... Why do you get more and more stupid as you grow up?" , where did all your cleverness go when you were young, I told you not to go to the temple..."

Flora, who had been educated by her mother all night, summoned up her courage after breakfast and asked Langdon softly, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Langdon looked up at Flora.

Without the impatience and eagerness before, Langdon seemed to be simply asking. This attitude made Langdon less tense, and his sense of resistance dropped again. After all, Langdon doesn't like to face too heavy and aggressive things now. feelings, that would make him nervous subconsciously.

"You don't want to go to places like the dungeon. Take a good rest today." Langdon also unknowingly regained his previous attitude, and replied in a gentle voice.

Flora nodded obediently: "You also remember to rest."

"...I probably won't be able to rest anymore." Langdon smiled wryly. "Speaking of which, since we're done eating, Charles, come with me. I have something to talk to you about."

Although she usually didn't talk much at the dinner table, Shalltear, who was exceptionally silent today, slightly shook her hand wiping the corner of her mouth with a napkin, paused unnaturally, and then responded a little stiffly.

"Yes, Duke."

[ps: It's about noon now, and if there is a change, it looks like it's going to bed at night, and there's a change tonight~]

54. It should be too late (3k)

Shalltear faintly sensed something from Langdon's attitude, and followed Langdon to the study anxiously.

This time, because of the accident yesterday, Bridget did not stay by Langdon's side all the time, but was temporarily sent out to work, so there are only Langdon and Shalltear in the study.

Langdon also directly opened the previous silence enchantment to ensure that Shalltear had no other concerns.

"Okay." Langdon said naturally, "I think you should have something to tell me?"

Langdon didn't say how much he knew, but just put pressure on him, intending to see Shalltear's reaction.

Shalltear had already guessed all the way, but she still wasn't sure how much Langdon knew, or maybe it was because she was not in the right state, so she asked with concern... But fortunately, she had discussed it with the deacon last night, and decided to Just confess to Langdon, or I'm probably going to be very anxious now.

She took a deep breath: "Yes, I do have something very important to tell the Duke... Do you remember that when you recruited me, I said that I have enemies and secrets?"

Langdon nodded: "Of course I do."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have calmed down so quickly from the horror and anger yesterday. After all, they had warned in advance, and it couldn't be considered malicious deception.

"... What I want to say now is about the things I concealed... um..." Shalltear hesitated, "Let's start with the best explanation, I hope you don't get too angry, actually..."

She hesitated for a moment, but took off her alchemy glasses in front of Langdon, and at the same time stroked her thick bangs to the side.

Under the gray-purple curly hair like wool, on the delicate and beautiful face that finally saw the light of day, a pair of beautiful emerald eyes looked at Langdon with a little tentativeness and anxiety.

Her voice also changed from a low and neutral voice to a clear and gentle female voice: "... I'm actually a girl, and I've been hiding it from you. I'm sorry... I didn't mean to."

Langdon, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, still couldn't help showing a little sleepy at this moment.

Yesterday he kept thinking about what his assistant officer would look like if he was a girl—although it is true that he wears glasses, and his bangs can block his vision, but when he wears glasses, he doesn't make a mosaic. I can roughly see the shape of the face, no matter how I look back, I feel like a boy!

Just a pair of glasses can make people unable to recognize the real face, do you think this is some kind of superman?

As a result, Langdon, who watched the whole process today, found that the difference is really just a pair of glasses... It feels amazing to change from a boy to a girl the moment he takes them off!

If I had to say it, it was as if some kind of soft light filter was added in an instant. The person who was not very conspicuous suddenly became very bright after showing his entire face, and the emerald-like rich green eyes flickered. Looking at him, the eyelashes are long and slightly curled like a doll, and the curly hair that was pushed aside is curled back in disobedience, and the messy hairstyle is a little more cute...

Shalltear was nervously waiting for the trial.

However, after Langdon stared at her for several seconds, his first reaction after recovering was: "Show me your glasses."

Shatia: "..."

She obediently handed over the glasses, and explained: "I made the alchemy glasses myself. The effect is that people's attention will not be focused on my face, and at the same time, the facial lines are blurred, making people feel more masculine..."

Langdon checked the alchemy glasses, and after listening to the explanation, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's not that he's really blind enough to be unable to recognize people with just a pair of glasses...

Otherwise, he will no longer have the right to insult the male protagonist in the animation manga game for not being able to recognize a woman disguised as a man! ! !It's just a boomerang! ! !

Langdon's silence made Shalltear misunderstand something, and she explained eagerly: "Actually, I have been thinking about how to explain to you, but... But, you said 'Fortunately, you are a man', I just I dare not let you down, I always want to make more contributions, so I have the nerve to make it clear..."

"...I also said that?"

Shalltear said categorically, "I said so."

Langdon was a bit at a loss. He remembered that he had made jokes about fearing women, but he didn't remember that clearly. However, seeing Shalltear's impressive expression, he probably put a lot of pressure on the other party by his unintentional words. It affected the timing of Shalltear's confession.

...I always feel that the pot on my body seems to be a little heavier.

"Okay, I see." Langdon put the glasses on the table, because he liked the saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and he wanted to look into the other person's eyes to communicate, "Tell me why you want to disguise yourself as a man." Bar."

"...Yes, but things are more complicated. Let's talk about it from when I was a child..."

Shalltear discussed with her deacon all night, and came to the conclusion that it is best not to hide Langdon anymore.

The deacon is still a little strangely worried about Langdon, and he is a madman who likes to control people's prejudices. However, at this time, this prejudice is beneficial to Langdon, because the deacon thinks there is no need to hide it. As long as he starts to confess, Langdon will definitely be able to Guess the whole truth!

And her imperial brother is already under her nose!It's pointless to hide it at a time like this, not to mention affecting Langdon's decision-making, but once it does, it will cause Langdon's trust in her to decrease.

Therefore, Shalltear unreservedly planned to tell Langdon all about her life experience.

Although she was stuttering at the beginning, Shalltear's narration became much smoother after she immersed in her emotions, even because of her complicated thoughts about her homeland, her sympathy and intolerance for her sisters, mothers and concubines, and her hatred for the brutal emperor brother. Iron is weak and dissatisfied...

When Shalltear talked about this, she was full of emotion. Langdon's emotions fluctuated with Shalltear's description, which was very substituting.

After telling the whole story, Shalltear was a little depressed due to emotional exhaustion, but she still cheered up and said to Langdon: "That's it, I really don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to implicate you. I won't be found... But I didn't expect Brother Huang to come with the mission, I'm worried that he will find something, if you... if..."

Shalltear's sobs choked up, her emerald green pupils seemed to be fogged, but she blinked quickly, and her eyes became clear and calm again—she didn't want Langdon to think that she was selling out.

"...If you think my trouble is not easy to deal with, I can leave at any time."

The big deal is to go back to the old days and continue to wander around the world like a rootless duckweed.

It's just that I feel sorry.

It was the first time she had such a deep relationship with someone, the first time her ability was recognized by others, the first time she liked someone, the first time she felt the sweetness of love, the first time she felt the bitterness of jealousy...

If she left, she would probably only have a lifetime to miss this short period of less than a year.

Of course she was very reconciled, just as she was reconciled to seeing Princess Bellatrix and Langdon getting closer.

But at that time, she was still lucky, thinking that everything would go in a good direction, so she dared to encourage herself secretly, fantasizing about confessing to Langdon in the future, and then seriously pursuing Langdon and confessing to Langdon.

Now she didn't dare to have any more thoughts, because the appearance of the emperor's brother broke her fantasy, and she finally realized that her existence was trouble, and she didn't want to cause trouble to Langdon.

...No matter what decision Langdon made in the end, she would have no objection.

Regarding how to deal with Shalltear, in fact, Langdon had already thought about some ideas before going to bed last night. Today, he mainly wanted to see Shalltear's attitude and see if there were any details to add.

He found that Shatia's description was similar to Bellatrix's. From a logical analysis, there was no room for concealment. It could be seen that Shatia sincerely wanted to confess to him, and she was cautious about asking for help. Prepared for his refusal.

Shalltear felt that she was causing trouble for him.

It seemed that as long as she said "It's really troublesome", Shalltear could pack up her luggage and leave immediately, so as not to trouble him.

...Obviously Xia Tiya did refuse at the time, because he felt that Xia Tiya was too easy to use, and it would be troublesome to train someone who could keep up with his thinking, so he insisted on keeping her.

Langdon pondered for a few seconds, and said, "I said before, as long as it is a similar problem, I can help you solve it."

Shalltear's eyes lit up instantly: "Duke..."

Are you so calm and decisive?She thought that Langdon must be angry, but she never expected to be so calm from the beginning to the end...

She is worthy of her loyal lord! ! !

Langdon, who had already been seen through by the advance drama, was already too angry, but he still wanted to say, and we are friends, aren't we?But when he thought that Shalltear was actually a girl, he couldn't say that.

...It's not difficult to call a guy a brother or brother, but when facing a girl, even the word friend seems weird.

Therefore, Langdon changed his tone: "And you are the assistant officer I chose. If you can't even keep your own assistant officer, I, the duke, should quit."
