455. in the first place
"What the hell is going on?" It wasn't until the four of them had followed Cecilia away that Sean turned his head to look at William, "Is that woman really your sister?" β
"My sister." William sighed, looking extremely tired.
In order to be able to rescue Reis, in recent days, William has had to take into account the cover-up of Cecilia and the others when discussing the battle plan with Hashasas. After all, this is a secret rescue operation, something that Hashas cannot let know, but the problem is that it is easy to conceal it when following the large army, but it is not easy to follow the line.
In recent days, William has been agonizing over how to get the people who secretly went to rescue Reiss back, and complete the strategic plan of retreating from the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire to the wilderness.
Therefore, it can be said that William has indeed been in a very tired state in recent days.
Now because of the appearance of Relista, William's mental state is obviously more tired and distressed.
However, Sean was even more shocked by the "sister" that William said at this time.
"You're talking about your own sister......" Sean blinked.
William knew what Sean meant, so he could only nod helplessly: "Half-sister of the same father and mother." β¦β¦ She is ten years younger than me, and we still had a good relationship when we were young, after all, we are the same parents. Probably...... I left the Yale family and caused her to hurt her, maybe she thought I had betrayed her or something...... Alas. β
Sean always knew that William's emotional intelligence was really not very good.
This point, there was already a very obvious feature in the game era. I just didn't expect it. This guy's EQ can be so low that it's no different from a blind man.
Relista was clearly angry.
Although William left the Millennium Covenant Empire fifteen years ago without saying goodbye to Relista, the relationship between the two in the family that William just said was present. And combined with Rilista's cousin, it is obvious that this woman still cares a little about William. It's just that it's likely that something happened in between. That's why I directed Rylista's current personality is a little awkward, and I'm not very willing to deal with William.
It's just that Sean really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of family matter.
"Is there only one sister you have?" Sean asked.
"Is it the same father and mother? It's really just me and Ruili. William said softly, "But as a big family, in my father's generation, which one didn't marry several wives." Even my father has three wives, so there are probably three or four more half-siblings...... At least fifteen years ago. I also have two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister and two younger brothers in addition to Ruili. β
"Fifteen years ago...... It shouldn't be the same as now, right? Sean was a little embarrassed, "I don't understand the aristocratic world." β
"You really can't understand it, because you don't look like a person from the aristocratic world at all." William said lightly, "Let's not talk about the future Grand Duchess, you haven't gotten close to any woman so far, and there are a lot of rumors about you in the outside world now." β¦β¦ Of course. Since the opening of the Black Swan Castle, it's not just men who have come here for sightseeing, it's just that because you're not in the Void Duchy, there aren't many women here. β
These words about William. Sean has also heard of it.
In the last few days, since the news of his return to the principality, the number of women who have come to the Black Swan Castle has increased significantly. This is another reason why Sean is reluctant to show his face. Look at those women with extreme redness. Bare. Bare. Desire. Looking at the eyes, Sean really had no time communicating with them. Especially some of the more put. Swinging, all kinds of body language movements are especially abundant. It made Sean even more tired to deal with.
Of course, it's not without real elegant women.
These women know very well how to communicate with each other, and it does give Sean some good impressions, but it's just a good impression. Because most of these women are vases that have been trained as marriage tools by major families, few of them have real talent and talent themselves - women who value both beauty and wisdom are not at all compared to the huge miracle continent.
And the vast majority of nobles are also more willing to marry a beautiful vase to go home than a wife with superior strength or talent.
"You'd better have a good talk with your sister first." Sean sighed, then reached out and patted William's shoulder, "I'm sure you know the importance of this action, although they will be acting with Cecilia at that time, but I don't think you want any surprises, right?" β
William nodded, his face showing a rare solemnity.
Probably, it was much more difficult for William to renew his relationship with his sister than for him to go into battle and command the battle.
"I know that too." William frowned, but there was some uneasiness in his heart.
"Just do what you're good at." Sean patted William on the shoulder and smiled, "If you're not good at something, you don't have to think about it." β¦β¦ Cecilia will take care of your sister for you, so nothing has changed what you need to do. Don't let your mind get too big to avoid unnecessary situations where only you can do things and things that are too far away from your battlefield. β
The meaning of Sean's words has been made very clear, William just has a low EQ, but it does not mean that his IQ is low, so he quickly understood what Sean wanted to say.
"Thank you." William looked at Sean and said seriously, "I'll look for her...... Let's talk about it. β
Sean shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.
However, when William also left, Sean's gaze suddenly swept to the top floor of the castle.
The top floor of the Black Swan Castle is a large open space adjacent to the Black Swan Lake, but the only stone staircase leading to this open space is from the third floor to the fourth floor, but there are three stairs leading to the third floor of the Black Swan Castle. Under Diana's Jianyì, only one staircase on the right side is opened for visiting travelers. As for the rest of the people in the castle, they have long been tired of seeing Black Swan Lake all these years. Of course, I didn't get tired of seeing the Black Swan Lake where the black swan came, but it was just because it was open for visiting. Therefore, it can only be seen after the traveler leaves.
On weekends of each week, there is a free open day. At this time, there are usually some commoners and children who come to visit the Black Swan Castle, and this day is also the only day when the Black Swan Castle does not provide free meals - although Sean is a little dissatisfied, but he also knows that if the free meals are also open to commoners, then the nobles who paid to enter the visit before will definitely be dissatisfied, and will think that their value has fallen and become the same as the commoners.
These are the rules of the game in the Miracle Continent.
Maybe Sean can break a lot of rules, but that's because he has enough strength to break them. But that doesn't mean he can change the rules at will.
At this point, though, Sean looks at the place because he notices that someone is looking at him.
Following the gaze that made him care, he looked at each other with the man who was looking at him.
This person was none other than the man with whom Sean had met and greeted him when he was going up the mountain that day - Hashas. Zoandon. Sean already knew who he was, and of course he was rejected for his pursuit of Cecilia, but there was something Sean did admire about this man, and that was that he wasn't angry. He did not make any other actions that did not conform to his identity, but maintained a polite attitude and etiquette as always.
The two sides looked at each other and smiled at each other.
Then, Sean and Andrew returned to the castle. It's rare that Gollum has woken up. It's also back to normal, Sean of course wants to catch up with Gollum, and it is also necessary to discuss the next itinerary with Andrew. Because they were leaving tonight, he had to give an account to Cecilia as well.
And stand on top of the castle. Looking at the back of Sean and the others leaving, Hashas's brows also furrowed slightly.
"Your Excellency?" Moro. Hashasas's uncle came up and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
"Uncle, I've said it many times, you don't have to call me that." Hashas was a little helpless, especially seeing that Moro was just smiling but didn't say anything, he knew that he really couldn't convince Moro, so he could only continue to speak: "This time our cooperation with the Void Duchy, I'm afraid there will be some other unexpected things. This time, William personally led the army, and the purpose was probably not only to ensure that our cooperation and commission could be completed smoothly, but also to conceal other things. β
"What do you mean......" A gleam flashed in Moro's eyes.
"Has anything happened in the country lately?" Hashas asked in a deep voice.
"I haven't heard of it." Moro shook his head slightly, a little unsure, "However, it is also possible that our authority is too low, so we can't participate in some confidential matters." β
Hearing Morro's words, Hashas was slightly stunned, and then sighed lightly, looking a little helpless.
Only you know your own things.
As the third in line to the Zoandon family, he does look quite glamorous on the outside, but many times he does not have the priority to share information. In particular, he was not very good at military strategy, so Hashas would not get any information on matters related to the war, because he could not come up with ideas and could not help. As for the political field that he is good at, his brother and sister are not inferior to him, so it can be said that his only advantage is from an economic point of view.
"Since it's not an area that we can access, then we don't need to worry about it." Hashas closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them, the smile on his face still the same, "Let's do what we're doing." β¦β¦ Are you sure my brother is coming to grab the credit? β
"Yes." Moro nodded, then handed a bag to Hasas.
The latter took it and opened it, just swept a name, and stuffed this article back into the bag, with a somewhat solemn look on his face: "You give this information to William." This time the battle is in charge of his coordination, so he can hand over all these intelligence materials to him. β
After a moment's hesitation, Moro nodded, then took the information and turned to leave.
Stand on the top floor of the Black Swan Castle. Hashas's expression did not seem so calm and comfortable, but there was a deep sorrow that could not be dissolved.
That's when it happened. There was a soft sound of footsteps.
Hashas turned around, only to see a woman dressed in a rather atmospheric manner walking towards Hashasas. The woman had a beautiful face. She was about twenty-two years old, much younger than Hasas, and she had fairly smooth straight black hair, but even if the woman was smiling at this time, there was an extremely cold chill permeating the air, and just looking at it from afar, you would feel a rather strong chill.
Hashas's face looked a little ugly.
"I heard that the Grand Duke of the Void has returned." The woman strode up to Hashas and spoke calmly, but her tone was full of a commanding tone. "I want you to introduce me."
"I don't know the Grand Duke of the Void." Facing this woman, Hashas rarely showed a helpless look, and obviously maintained a considerable sense of distance in his attitude.
Apparently, Hashas knew about the woman, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with her at all.
"But you know Cecilia. Connelly. The woman continued, "I don't have access to other areas in this castle, and you do. β
"Miss Angel, it's not that I don't want to help you, but ......"
Without waiting for Hashas to finish speaking. The cold woman named Angel had already interrupted: "I know you're asking for help and want to be the first in line to the throne of the Zoandon family. I also know that your brother and sister have used the Savage Bands as a competitive bargain, and they have already made the move......"
Hashas's heart shook slightly. The information he received was that his brother had taken action on it, but he didn't expect his sister to have it! And the most incredible thing is that he doesn't have any news about this at all.
Angel noticed Hashas's heart beating faster. But she didn't pay attention to it, and still said to herself: "...... I believe in the strength of the Void Principality. Especially with Mr. William personally leading the army, it was not difficult to achieve a big victory. But. Wouldn't it be better to have one more person's assistance? β¦β¦ If you introduce me to Miss Cecilia, then whatever the outcome, I can lend you my Frost Legion. β
Hashas looked at Angel in disbelief, he didn't expect Angel to be so generous.
If his beliefs in William and the Void Principality were only based on rumors and he didn't have any confidence, then after Angel said her approval of William, he had a relatively strong confidence in William and the Void Principality. However, this qiΔ is not as good as the recognition of the Frost Legion, because this legion is too famous in the aristocratic circles of the Millennium Covenant Empire.
This is an all-female legion, the only female legion in the Millennium Covenant Empire, and the tenth legion composed entirely of women in the military history of the Southern Continent. This legion has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile since its formation, but not many people were optimistic about this legion at the time, until seven years ago, when Angel, who was only sixteen years old, led the Frost Legion for the first time, and on the battlefield of 10,000 against 50,000 enemies, it was able to kill more than 10,000 enemies, lose 3,000 on its own side, and capture 20,000 enemies.
After that, for the next seven years, the Frost Legion maintained a regular strength of 10,000 men. However, its record is becoming more and more exaggerated, so that the military headquarters of the Millennium Covenant Empire have all played Angel's idea. It's just that Angel's backstage is too powerful, so so far, the Imperial Military Department of the Millennium Covenant has not been able to absorb both the Frost Legion and Angel.
However, what is even more legendary is that the Frost Legion is not only not affiliated with the Imperial Military Department, nor is it affiliated with any of the noble families behind Angel! Because there is only one object of allegiance to this legion, and that is the woman named Angel in front of them.
After a moment's silence, Hashas felt that he didn't seem to have much to lose, so he asked, "It's okay to introduce you, but I still want to know, what do you want to do?" β¦β¦ If, is it to satisfy my curiosity, how? β
"Yes." Angel nodded, then spoke, "I'm going to marry Sean. Connelly. (To be continued......)
