From the very beginning, Yves didn't take César seriously.
This remained the case even after he awakened his extraordinary powers.
The child from the Pound family was just a whetstone for sharpening the knife of the Third Princess.
As her thoughts reached this point, Yves suddenly seemed to realize something and her mind moved slightly.
Then, he immediately ordered: "You should leave first. I want to be alone for a while."
"Yes."
After watching Shirley bow and quietly leave, Yves looked away.
Then, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, soft and soothing music and the boy's extremely familiar and gentle voice came to my ears.
"What would you like today, Miss Nightingale?"
Chapter 12: Who hurt Xiao?
A man in a crimson noble robe sat in the study, with a cup of coffee on the table and an opened file bag in front of him.
The contents of the file are all the things that happened not long ago before César and Yulina got engaged.
Duke Oka rubbed his brows and said quietly, "Craig is such a troublesome kid."⑷
The man in black robe stood respectfully beside him and whispered, "Now the entire aristocratic circle of the royal city is discussing the engagement between Xizel and the third princess. I just don't know if this is what Master Craig wants to see." Lin
That being said, it is clear that this is not what Craig wants to see.
Xizel is engaged to the Third Princess, so the Third Princess's reputation will be affected... Logically, this should have been Craig's original plan.
However, the balance that should have been one-sided was slightly shaken because Xizel became a transcendent last night.
This was obviously something that Craig had not thought of at first.
"Any news from Cesare today?" Duke Oka suddenly asked.
The man in black robe seemed to remember something and placed a letter on the table.
"This is the letter Master Cesar just wrote to you."
Duke Oka raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.
He and César were obviously both at the manor, so why couldn't they talk in person? Why did they have to write a letter?
Despite his thoughts, he still opened the letter.
After a quick glance, Duke Oka quickly revealed a faint smile.
"What's wrong?" the man in black robe asked subconsciously.
Duke Oka said slowly: "Cesare hopes that I can hold a ball for him tomorrow night and invite nobles from all walks of life to celebrate this event together."
The black-robed man was somewhat surprised and said, "It's really rare... With Master Xizel's personality, he would actually take the initiative to mention such a troublesome matter."
In the past, what Cesar hated most was attending various banquets, because people would always compare him with Craig at the banquets.
Unexpectedly, this time he would take the initiative to hold a dance party.
Duke Oka smiled and said, “This is a good thing.”
As the spoiled youngest son in the family, César has always lacked ambition.
However, after this engagement, coupled with the fact that he awakened his extraordinary powers last night, it seemed that César's fighting spirit had finally been aroused.
As a father, Duke Oka was naturally happy to see this scene.
"I will give you a list later, and then you can send the invitations to the nobles from all sides."
Duke Oka put down the envelope and said with a faint smile: "As a reward for Xizel's awakening of his extraordinary power... I will create a good atmosphere for him at this ball."
……Nine
"What would you like to drink today?"
Nightingale opened the door and walked to the bar counter to sit down. The young man's gentle question came to her ears.
The lights were soft and vinyl records were playing soothing music.
Nightingale held her cheek with her hand, looking at the boy who was preparing the tools for mixing drinks and was surrounded by black mist. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's have a drink tonight."
Xizel subconsciously looked at Nightingale.
"Are you sure...?"
The alcohol content of "Tonight's Not Coming Back" is over 30 degrees, and Nightingale is the type of person who loves to eat and drink, and has had the experience of getting drunk and going crazy in the past.
Of course, Nightingale's drunkenness is different from that of a normal drunkard, in that he is somewhat unreasonable.
Nightingale raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I always feel like you are questioning me... Do you think I can't drink and not come back tonight?"
"Or... I don't deserve to drink the 'Never Come Back Tonight' you made? You made it for Ming Yin last time..."
When she finished speaking, the woman looked very sad and looked at Cesar with resentful eyes.
Mingyin is also one of the guests of Xizel Tavern, but she seems to have been delayed in the real world recently, so she has not been here in the past few days.
Xizel sighed helplessly and said, "If you get drunk, I won't care about you."
Nightingale chuckled and said calmly, "I can drink quite well."
……
Half an hour later.
Nightingale sat on the soft sofa, leaning sideways, close to the boy's shoulder, her beautiful face already tinged with an intoxicating blush.
The cup of 'No Return Tonight' on the table had already been drunk up.
"Xiao, give me another cup of wine. I won't come back tonight."
Feeling the woman's breath gently falling on his ears, Xizel's body stiffened slightly.
Then he could not help but glance at the woman and said, "If you drink one more cup, you will not be able to go back tonight."
"Then don't go back."
Nightingale said faintly, "You seem to have been very busy recently. The time you have spent in the old world these days combined is not as much as a single day before."
If it were in the past, Xizel would usually stay in the other world for three or four hours.
However, this period of time seemed to be due to things in the real world. He basically waited until Nightingale finished drinking the cocktail and then left the old world.
All in all, I spend less than half an hour in the old world every day.
Xizel was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It will be over in a while, and then we can resume our previous business hours."
"Really?" Nightingale raised her eyes and looked at Cesar, her beautiful golden eyes showing a hint of drunkenness.
The two of them were so close at this moment that they seemed to be able to smell each other's breath. The woman's rosy lips were soaked in the wine and had an alluring luster. Her red lips seemed to be spewing out an intoxicating fragrance as they opened and closed.
She really had drunk too much... Xizel nodded gently: "Really... We will be able to resume our previous business hours soon."⒊
"Don't you need my help?" asked Nightingale.
What she was referring to was, of course, Cesar's troubles in this world.
Xizel shook his head and smiled: "I can handle it myself, don't worry."
"Compared to this, I have something else I would like to ask you for help with."
When he said this, he looked at the woman's tipsy eyes again and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it after you sober up."
After drinking so much, even if I tell him now, Nightingale will probably forget everything after he sobers up.
"It doesn't matter, just say it."
Nightingale leaned against Cesar's shoulder. Compared to her usual mature and dignified tone, her voice was now a little more lively like a girl: "I'm not drunk."
As we all know, drunk people will say they are not drunk.
But César was too lazy to argue with the woman about this matter and said, "I need some materials for Homer bullets."
Unlike ordinary bullets, Homer bullets are mixed with special alchemy, and combined with the extraordinary power of [Destiny], if used properly, even a fourth-level enemy can be seriously injured.
This is also what Xizel urgently needs right now.
"can."
Nightingale nodded without thinking.
"Won't you think about it...?" Although he had expected it, Xizel couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the woman agree so readily.
Homer bullets are extremely expensive, and even César felt a little painful when he decided to make Homer bullets. But this woman agreed without any hesitation.
She is indeed a little rich woman...
"What are you considering?
Nightingale raised her hand and gently stroked the boy's face. Her pair of intoxicated light golden eyes were full of seductive charm: "Xiao, I told you before, didn't I? I owe you a lot, so I will do everything I can to compensate you.
"Whatever you want, I will satisfy you."
Her tone was extremely calm, as if she was just saying something very ordinary.
But for some reason, Xizel believed it firmly.
"But if you feel embarrassed, now you have a chance to make it up to me." Nightingale suddenly said again.
"What opportunity?" Xizel asked subconsciously.
Nightingale raised her lips slightly and said slowly, "I have added a lot of new things to my basement recently... You can go and experience them when the time comes. How about that?"
"If you don't say anything, it means you agree."
After a brief moment of indifference, Xizel quickly held his forehead and said helplessly: "Ms. Nightingale, I don't intend to agree to such an outrageous thing--"
Before he finished speaking, he could hear the sound of a woman's even breathing on his shoulder.
A strand of hair fell from her forehead, half covering her delicate and beautiful face.
She fell asleep.
Xizel looked at the face of the woman sleeping on his shoulder and fell into deep thought for a long time.
She wouldn't really think that I agreed to this outrageous condition, right?
When I thought of this, I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall again.
About half an hour has passed since I entered the old world.
The sound of the woman's even breathing on his shoulder gradually calmed Xizel down.
Let's go back a little later today...⒎
……six
That night.
Yves leaned back on the throne and slowly opened her eyes.
The slightly tipsy state just now has completely disappeared, and the light golden eyes are full of arrogance and majesty, quietly watching everything in the hall.
She gently pressed a button next to the throne.
Soon, Shirley came to the palace quietly.
"Have you found any results from the investigation?" Yves asked.
Shirley bowed her head respectfully and whispered, "The deputy director of the Securities and Futures Commission did forge a fake identity for someone before."
"That fake identity is exactly the same as the form I registered not long ago."
So, he is indeed the son of a high-ranking official in the empire...Yveline was not surprised by this. As early as when she had talked with Xiao before, she had vaguely guessed something through the other party's words and actions.
But at that time, she didn't want to disturb his life privately, so she didn't ask anyone to investigate.
but now……
It was the first time she had seen him so upset.
This incident has even affected the time they spend alone in the other world.
To be able to make him so upset right under her nose... I want to see for myself who has this ability.
Yves slowly said, "Who is the person who forged a fake ID and identity and asked the potion master to make extraordinary potions?"
