She is very curious about Helena's situation, and also how she became like this, so she has to learn more... Well, she is also a little curious about the image of Langdon in Helena's mind, but this is just incidental !

Helena didn't like Bellatrix very much when she told her the good news, but because of Langdon's kindness, she still replied.

"I'm worried that they won't take good care of Langdon. If no one is watching Langdon, even if he did something wrong, no one will dare to tell him. This is not acceptable."

This answer was a bit beyond Bellatrix's expectation.

...Even she, who has just met her not long ago, thinks Langdon is a hopeless good old man. What the hell is Helena doing?

Bellatrix couldn't help it: "I think your worry is a bit... unnecessary."

Helena, who was always described as "stubborn" by Langdon, readily admitted at this moment: "Looking at it now, it is a bit unnecessary. I am very happy that Langdon has grown into a good man, but it is my worry." , seems to have caused Langdon a lot of trouble."

There was a slight worry on her pale face, and she raised her hand to pull the shattered hair behind her ears: "I'm just... too worried, my mother often told me to pay attention to Langdon not to be bad, and I also You have to pay more attention to this aspect…”

The fan in Bellatrix's hand tapped lightly on her palm.

Aha, she knew, Langdon's mother had a problem...

But Helena's problem is not small.

She also had the feeling of worrying about someone turning bad—even just yesterday, she was worried that Langdon was not as good as she imagined, and instead secretly did something cruel to others like her father.

Anyway, it is completely different from Helena, that is to say, what Helena said is different from her thoughts.

"You clearly said just now that the reason for going to the imperial capital was that no one would be able to point out what the Duke did wrong..." Bellatrix said, "If you're just worried, you won't be able to reach this level... ...and, this worry is offensive enough in itself, Miss Helena distrusts the Duke even more than I imagined."

Helena's eyes turned cold little by little: "His Royal Highness doesn't understand anything, so please speak carefully."

Bellatrix had been cautious in speaking in front of her mother for long enough, but in front of Helena who was similar to her mother, she felt somewhat rebellious.

Want to try stimulation therapy?

[ps: Added more, good night everyone~]

65. In Langdon's mind, Shalltear is... (3k)

Bellatrix was a little eager to move.

Her mind has been in a mess for the past two days, facing Helena, it seems that she has returned to her childhood self - but she is no longer the weak and irresistible her.

Now, as long as she is willing, she might be able to tear Helena's self-deception apart, allowing her to reveal her truest side without hurting herself.

The desire to destroy is rising violently, and the strong impulse to make up for childhood is stirring in my heart.

"you……"

Bellatrix's gorgeous and delicate face carried a weird expression of pleasure, and the magic power around her was agitated slightly. The golden eyes she looked at Helena glowed under the influence of the magic power, and her beautifully shaped lips almost controlled her. He couldn't stop wanting to spit out the venom that could corrode Helena.

Are you really worried about Langdon going bad?

All your preparations, on the contrary, make me feel that it is more in line with your expectations that Langdon really becomes bad?

Deceiving yourself, hurting others, and then immersing yourself in happiness, isn't it very happy?

Bellatrix couldn't tell whether the person she wanted to accuse was Helena or her own mother. Almost at the moment when she was about to vent her emotions, she saw a touch of blue from the corner of her eye.

It was a painting in Helena's living room of a cat wearing a jeweled necklace.

The color of the sapphire seems to be a pigment made directly from the powder ground from some precious ore. The shadow caused by a cloud happened to move away. Silk's attention.

She was about to erupt like lava in a crater, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind filled with anger and grievance.

So pretty, like Langdon's eyes.

When she came back to her senses, she found that her anger and killing intent had suddenly disappeared.

Helena was still waiting for Bellatrix's next words: "His Royal Highness?"

Bellatrix spread her fan silently, covering her face.

Ah, almost lost control.

It's too bad, Helena is not her mother. If she accidentally vents her anger too much, pouring down her anger at her childhood powerlessness and weakness, she might kill Helena on the spot.

Even if she really wanted to try stimulation therapy on Helena, it felt like it would be better to change the time, not now.

At least he had promised Langdon to keep Helena steady, and it hadn't even been an hour, so at least pretend for a little longer, or Langdon probably wouldn't trust her again in the future.

... No, Langdon's trust didn't matter to her at all!

She just thought it might be more fun this way.

As a victim of the same kind, Bellatris understood Langdon's feelings very well. Even if she was treated like this, it was indeed a family member she recognized.

Just as she had put up with her mother and the rest of August's royal family, Langdon was willing to put up with Helena now, in the hope that Helena would be cured.

But unfortunately, if her analysis of Helena is correct, the more Langdon sympathizes with Helena because Helena is a patient now, the more he will treat Helena when he knows the core of Helena's illness. disappointment.

Just let this superficial peace last for a while longer.

Bellatrix closed her fan, put away the aggression in her eyes, and smiled softly at Helena: "It's nothing, it's just a feeling, you really care about the Duke, but sometimes, give him a little space maybe will be better."

Although Helena has no combat experience, she is still quite sensitive to changes in the atmosphere. She was inexplicably nervous just now, and with Bellatris's smile, that wonderful feeling of depression disappeared.

She was a little hesitant, but she gradually relaxed and accepted the words reluctantly: "He was still young before, and he needed more care."

Bellatrix did not refute, but showed a subtle expression of "whatever you say".

...Since Langdon once acted as a shield at her birthday party and solved her father's matchmaking for her, she will also help him this time.

Otherwise, it's the demons, Helena, and Shalltear... It feels like Langdon is reaching his limit. If he breaks down like this, she may not be able to find such an interesting person in the future.

At least let Langdon have a peaceful birthday.

Langdon, who had finished chatting with the butler, didn't know that Bellatrix, whom he had placed high hopes on, was jumping sideways repeatedly, almost detonating a landmine to give him a thrill.

But even if it really detonated, Langdon probably just sighed and accepted the reality... After all, he didn't trust Bellatrix much at first, he just thought she was very suitable to deal with Helena's affairs now, but with Bella Triss' character is normal even if she fails.

There are still too few decent, capable and reliable people around him...

"Duke?" Shalltear knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Langdon who seemed to be resting on the sofa, he hesitated.

Langdon waved his hand: "Let's report verbally, I'm a little tired now."

Shalltear couldn't help showing a worried expression, she walked to the sofa with the documents in her arms, and began to report to Langdon.

With Langdon's continuous overtime work, some troublesome problems caused by the handover of titles have been resolved. After that, Langdon's workload will drop sharply, and it can almost return to the level of other dukes. He can usually hold banquets, hunt, socialize and have fun. The work can be done by the subordinates themselves.

... If it weren't for knowing that the demons might invade within two years, the future looks pretty good.

Langdon sighed in his heart while listening to Shalltear's report. After confirming that there was no problem, he reluctantly got up and began to sign.

Seeing Langdon's tired expression, Shalltear felt a little uncomfortable. After Langdon finished signing, she picked up the document, but did not leave immediately.

It took Langdon a while to react. When he looked up blankly, he saw Shalltear holding the stack of documents tightly. The guilt was still very obvious in front of him.

Realizing that Langdon was looking at her, Shalltear couldn't help but say, "Sorry, Duke, I have caused you a lot of trouble, you look really tired..."

Langdon let out a long sigh: "It's true that I'm tired, but it's not just your problem."

A bunch of bad things have collided, and he really wants to quit now... What kind of duke, he is better than a commoner with a bit of magic talent than now, right? !

Speaking of magic talent, that rubbish gem magic also sounds very tasteless. He is still not sure whether to try the awakening method of his ancestors, and he is always worried that the gain will outweigh the loss.

It happened that the handbook said that the gemstones used in the ceremony would also affect the success rate of the ceremony, so he was procrastinating by looking for better gemstones, pretending that he didn't have difficulty choosing.

Everything is prepared first, and it must be top-notch. As for whether to do it in the end, that is another matter.

...Is this the feeling that poor students have a lot of stationery? I've been taught.

Although Langdon said "it's not just your problem", it was actually equivalent to admitting that Shalltear's matter really bothered him a little, so Shalltear felt even more guilty.

"……Feel sorry."

Langdon came to his senses: "You don't need to apologize, even if it's nothing to do with you, since your brother has something to do with the demons, he will be put under house arrest and sent to the temple. big."

"I mean..." Shalltear said with difficulty, "I'm sorry that I lied to you and didn't tell you the truth until something happened soon."

"...You have already apologized."

"Yes, you even forgave me, but..." Shalltear said softly and cautiously, even using an honorific that she doesn't use in private, "No matter what, I made you unhappy... ..."

Her deacon could only be happy that Langdon didn't hold her accountable, didn't drive her away, and instead agreed to help her deal with these issues.

Only she could sense Langdon's alienation from her.

It's not like he used to be joking or something, but now most of the things he said to her were business affairs, and rarely involved the field of "friends".

The deacon also comforted her by saying that it was because she was too busy recently, but Shalltear knew it was not like that.

For example, about Helena, if it was in the past, she would have known about it immediately, but last night when she saw that something was wrong with the barrier, when she wanted to go to find Langdon, she was sent by the maid sent by Langdon to deliver the documents to her. No problem, don't worry about it, just keep working. It wasn't until today that she found out that it was Helena who came.

Have you lost trust in her?Or is she planning to adjust her involvement with the Stuart family after learning her true identity?

Langdon was tolerant enough to her, and it would be too light for anyone else to hand her over to the second prince, but Langdon, who had experienced treating her as a friend before, Shalltear was very tolerant of Langdon who was a little distant from her now. Can't help but have more expectations.

She finally understood why the Saintess was so persistent with Langdon. Even if she was ridiculed, ignored, and even had to work hard to recommend herself to be allowed to help, the Saintess was unwilling to give up.

Even the current Langdon is enough to make her nostalgic. The unharmed Langdon who grew up with the saint must be an existence that the saint will never forget.

She couldn't even imagine what Langdon was like, but she could understand the mood of the saint.

Every bit of his alienation and indifference will make the light go away, so that those who have been illuminated by the light can no longer ignore the coldness and darkness in reality.

That's why I want to keep him and let his light continue to shine on me, as if this can continue to maintain hope in life.

The harsher the reality, the more dazzling Langdon's light.

How could someone like him be born in this kind of world?The world was too cruel for Langdon.

From the very beginning, Shalltear had a desire to protect Langdon. She didn't want Langdon to be hurt by others, or even by this world, but now she herself became the existence that hurt Langdon.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do... Did I break your heart?"

Langdon took a deep look at her: "Don't think too much, I'm just a little tired recently, you are helping me by working hard, instead of thinking about these things, why don't you think about your brother going back to the temple and putting that or something What will you do if the sealed cauldron is pushed on you?"

This is already a rare and reliable part-time worker around him, maintain the persona that you love to work, and it will be his birthday party soon, so don't make any mistakes, okay?

[ps: The quicker payment is over, but there are still 54 monthly tickets to be owed to add more...]

66. Sister, you don’t want to be a housewife, do you? (3k)

Langdon also knew that Shalltear's imperial brother was a hidden danger, but no matter what, Langdon couldn't let people die on his territory, so this hidden danger could only keep him alive.

As for after...

That's for later. After being popularized about what this person has done, even Langdon with modern thinking thinks that the death penalty is not too much, but he must have a chance to do it.

Similarly, there is also the second prince of the Heka Empire.

It's true that people know people, know their faces but don't know their hearts. Some people look like human beings, but in private they don't behave at all, and they deserve to die.

But Langdon couldn't take care of his own affairs. He was not in the mood to be a Pacific policeman. Anyway, he couldn't kill the foreign ambassadors on his territory and cause disputes between the two countries. Let's pretend he didn't know.

But on the surface, he couldn't do anything, and it didn't affect Langdon's secret rubbing and stumbling.

Since he no longer planned to praise the second prince in the letter and urge the emperor to marry Bellatrix as soon as possible, Langdon changed his pen and directly wrote that he thought the second prince of the Heka Empire was suspicious.

First of all, it is suspicious that the staff is a demon, and secondly, the crown prince of the Sarière dynasty who brought a demon to confess is also very suspicious, and then he was too excited after the staff was exposed, as if he was covering up that he drank the [divine blood] The reaction to the wine is also very suspicious, but it is difficult for Langdon himself to say anything when it comes to diplomatic issues between the two countries. In short, your majesty, please pay more attention to yourself.

Langdon himself knew that this part was far-fetched, but it didn't matter. Anyway, his external image was no different from that of a persecuted paranoid. If he guessed wrong, he could explain that he was paranoid and just worried about the emperor too much!

Does the emperor still have to convict him for his worries?

impossible!

Anyway, he was conscientious, and he was worried about the safety of the emperor after receiving the ambassador and finding out the demons. The emperor couldn't make trouble for him, so he had to give him the compensation he promised.

Oh, no, Bellatrix is ​​actually helping him stabilize Helena now, that is, he earned the emperor's compensation for nothing.

Langdon made some calculations and felt that he was not at a loss.

Because looking for a job for the second prince of the Heka Empire was really random, and Langdon didn't pay attention to the work of writing, and didn't think it would really have any serious impact. Anyway, he sent the letter just like that, and the pressure was immediate. Give it to the emperor, he has nothing to do.

The situation of the mission has stabilized for the time being, and we will wait for his birthday party to be over before going to the imperial capital. After all, it is only two days away, so it would be impolite to leave at this time.

It was the same for Langdon, who waited for the birthday party to be over before going back to school in the imperial capital.

The difference from the reception banquet of the mission is that there are more ministers and nobles who are interested in the mission at the reception banquet, which has a stronger political meaning, and for the birthday banquet, some families with stronger personal ties will also come ——
