Chapter 456: Acelyn's Melancholy (Part II)
Acelyn stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer for a moment. To be honest, she did like Jenn very much, because this half-elf ranger was young, handsome, and dashing. And he is also very capable, and he is her lifesaver. Not to mention, for some reason, when Acelyn first saw him, she was immediately captivated by him. The kind of indulgence that seemed to be like a whole body made Acelyn immersed in it, and she could hardly extricate herself. As soon as she saw Jenn's figure, her heart began to beat violently. When she heard his voice, she was nervous. And if she can get Jenn's praise, then she will be happy as if she is going to fly to the sky. It is precisely because of this that Acelyn is willing to help the "Free Salvation Army" do these things. In order to be able to get Jenn's praise and be valued by him.
She had also imagined whether the other party would like her, but Aislin herself did not have great expectations for this, most girls of her age liked the kind of love stories with sad overtones. And in reality, the identity gap between Jenn and her is indeed very large, and in the stories of those bards, there will be no good ending between such identities. This also made Acelyn worry and look forward to it. On the one hand, she feels that it is very romantic for her to be the heroine of such a love story. On the other hand, she didn't like that ending......... Although it is a very old-fashioned ending to say that the prince and princess live happily, it can't stand so many people liking it.
But now, Jenn actually confessed to her in person, which made Acelyn excited again. Excitement again. Not only that, but at this moment, Acelyn even felt a wonderful feeling spreading in her heart. It made her feel like she was in a dream.
It's funny.
Looking at the girl in front of him, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly. He could see it clearly. The demon mark is rapidly spreading along Acelin's soul, eroding the girl's original pure soul, which is like a drop of bright red dye falling on pure white paper, the demon mark can silently erode the infected, so that the other party's body and mind are closer to the holder of the mark. This erosion is done inadvertently, and it is disguised with normal emotions. It is difficult to be found, only the priests and ascetics who keep the vows can feel the slightest. For an ordinary person like Aceline, there is almost no resistance.
Come to think of it. Jenn reached out and took Acelyn's hand.
"Would you like to? Miss Acelyn? ”
"I ........."
Feeling the touch coming from her hand, Acelyn felt her heart skip a beat, and an intoxicating pleasure exploded, and together with that joy, it almost broke the girl's reason. At this moment, Acelyn just wants to be by Jenn's side forever, no matter what he wants to do, as long as he can be with him, she is willing! This moment. What family, what worries, have been completely abandoned by Aislin, in her eyes. The person in front of her is the only point for her to survive.
Thinking of this, Acelyn no longer hesitated. She looked up at Jenn's face. Then he nodded slightly.
"I do...... Mr. James........."
Even she hadn't noticed the depths of Acelyn's eyes at this moment. An eerie bright red glow emerged. Then, she looked up and closed her eyes.........
That nasty guy!!
Nadia stood on the terrace, looking at the two people snuggled together in the distance, her fists clenched, but she didn't know what to say. She stared blankly at Acelyn and James, trying to say something, but couldn't say anything. She had only come out to get some fresh air because she had been a little upset after the meditation, but Nadia had no idea that she would see such a scene here. She looked at the figures of the two people, her mind was also a mess, and she didn't know what to do at all. Eventually, Nadia stomped her foot hard and turned away from the terrace. She originally came out to relax, but she didn't expect that after this circle, her mood was worse than before.
"Boom!"
The door was slammed shut, and Nadia sat down on the bed angrily. She bit her lip, only to feel a mess in her heart. Frankly, she wasn't surprised that James was able to get together with Aceline. Before this, she had always been the one who took care of Acelyn, so she naturally knew how deeply this aristocratic lady missed Jenn, and even went a little crazy. Although Nadia is not unaware of her feelings, Nadia still thinks that Aceline's performance is too exaggerated. She is a noble lady, as for such a smooth person, do you never forget it?
And James, that guy, is also very attentive to Acelyn every time, and he is a little unhappy to look at Nadia. However, she is also a paladin, and she knows that this half-elf ranger is actually like this to most people, and only when Oldman and her and a few others will show that somewhat lazy side.
But what Nadia couldn't figure out was that when Acelyn was away in the past, James had always treated the girls in those villages and towns with such an attitude, and he was quite popular with them. At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with James doing this. But why was Acelyn so upset when she came and saw James so kind to Aceline?
"Hahh............"
Thinking of this, Nadia closed her eyes and sighed. It's useless to think about these now, and looking at their appearance, it's obvious that they've made up a pair. James once talked to Oldman and Nadia about the treatment of Acelyn, and Nadia, as a paladin, naturally did not agree to kill Aceline, after all, during the time she was in contact with this eldest lady, she also found that although Acelyn has the squeamishness unique to a noble lady, she is not an evil person. And she has also done a good job in the Free Army for National Salvation during this time, so the two of them are not resistant to Acelin. It's just that they still decided to hide the eldest lady's life experience to the end. After all, the Soros family is the number one enemy of the Free Salvation Army, and although Aislin is just a young lady with little real power within the Soros family, ordinary civilians obviously don't understand this. For them, as long as they have anything to do with the Soros family, even if it is a dog, it is murderous. In such a situation, once Acelin's identity is revealed, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. And it will also make people whether they have any other intentions for the Free Army of National Salvation.
But now, with James by her side, there should be no problem.
"Hey............"
Nadia sighed again, she didn't know why, she just felt depressed. Logically speaking, this is a good thing, James is a good person, and Acelyn, although a little squeamish, is also a good girl. If she is willing to abandon her family and take the side of justice, then it is also a good thing for Nadia. Both of them can be considered her companions and comrades-in-arms, and it is something to celebrate that they can be together. Why couldn't she be happy at all?
Thinking of this, Nadia couldn't help but fall on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling in front of her. And at this time, for some reason, Nadia suddenly remembered another person.
Jen.
Don't know what he's doing now?
Thinking of this, Nadia's mood became more and more uneasy, and she knew very well that the reason why she was able to strengthen her faith and get to this point today. It is inseparable from Jenn's guidance. Although he spoke harshly and was always unforgiving, Nadia had to admit that what he said made sense. It was because he pointed out to him the Templar Order, the relationship between faith and the gods, that Nadia woke up from her confusion and found her own way. And it is precisely because of his guidance that Nadia did not hesitate and be confused during the time when she lost her power, but strengthened her beliefs, and finally regained the favor of the True Eye.
But in addition to this, Nadia has a lot of dissatisfaction with Jenn, especially the rumors that he likes beauty make Nadia very unhappy. She had been to Passus more than once, and she knew that Jenn had always been by her side, and even the guards were young and beautiful girls. Thinking about Jenn, and then looking at James, Nadia also bit her lip and snorted coldly.
Men are all virtuous!
However, thinking of Jenn now makes Nadia feel a little complicated. She wasn't the dazed paladin she used to be, having fought with Jenn and Oldman for so long. She also knew very well that the other party was not just trying to overthrow the superior and then become the ruler himself. Rather, it intends to subvert the political system that has always been in the Klein Continent, showing a new and different way. Nadia had to admit that when she heard James talk about this, she was also quite longing. After all, she was still a paladin, and in Nadia's opinion, as long as the Templar Order could restrain the ruling class, then the ruling class would not be so domineering. And people's lives will be fine. But......... In this way, it means that they have to intervene in the power disputes of the nobles, and Jenn is a nobleman.
Nadia felt like she was in a mess again. She knew Jenn well, a very tough man who didn't even allow the Templar to enter his realm in the first place. Moreover, he was unlikely to agree to these reforms, and it is conceivable that it would be difficult for the Templar Order to do such a thing in Passus. And at that time, what should I do? Do you really want to meet him in battle?
Now Nadia feels more and more distressed. She felt she shouldn't have done it, but standing up for what she believed meant she might well fight Jenn one day. And with what she knew about Jenn, Nadia didn't think she would be able to convince the tough young man to give up her power and position.........
At this moment, Nadia was already a mess in her heart, so she buried herself in the pillow, closed her eyes, and fell into a restless sleep with boundless thoughts. (To be continued......)
