Chapter 153: A Confused Heart (I)
Jenn didn't bother to bother with the internal affairs of the Pawood family, and since Daily said that she could handle it, let her handle it. Moreover, Deli is also accompanied by Dobby, who is also the chief swordsman of the Pawood family, and he is also very aware of the severity of the Pawood family's collusion with the cultists. Daily just gave him a little bit of this, and Dobby's original victorious mood suddenly disappeared. He and Dale were the ones who knew Jenn's strength best during the operation, and knew that if he were to do it, ten Pawood families would not be enough for each other. Therefore, Dobby also hurriedly promised Jenn that he would definitely help Miss Deli find the cultist's internal response when he returned, and then dispose of him completely. It's not that difficult to deal with a person within the aristocracy, after all, all kinds of things can happen in political struggles, right?
So after dividing up the spoils, Jenn left with Lycia and the two maids first, leaving Patilina and the other knights there, after all, Starfall Fang is his territory, and he always has to prepare well.
For this trip, both Liguia and the two maids seemed quite excited. It's no wonder that they are just ordinary people after all, and the most they spend on weekdays is just taking a walk in the surrounding parks and woods. I've heard a lot of legends about adventures, but seeing them in person is a completely different story. On this trip, they not only saw those legendary terrible monsters, but also witnessed a moving battle. For them, this is already a rare experience.
For Lycia, the feeling is even more profound.
Her husband was also a swordsman. Lygia has admired his heroism more than once. It can even be said that the reason why she agreed to marry Cotton in the first place. It is because of the masculinity he showed when he practiced swords. But right now, Jenn's skills made her even more fascinated. She doesn't know swordsmanship. But he can keenly feel a person's momentum. If Cotton looked like a cheetah when he wielded the sword, then Jenn naturally exuded an aura of defiance just by holding the sword. It seems that as long as there is a sword in his hand, there is no existence to be feared in front of him. That awe-inspiring, proud, and tough attitude fascinated Lygia, and she even subconsciously compared Cotton to Jenn more than once, but even the most glorified image of her husband in Lygia's impression was still not as attractive as Jenn's.
"Hey..............."
Lying in the bath, Lycia opened her eyes and sighed with mixed feelings. Before that, Jenn had respectfully and politely informed himself that after the construction of Starfall's manor was completed. He would leave Passus. Lycia also has a complicated heart about this, and to be honest, she would prefer that Jenn can live here forever. However, Lycia also knew that this was impossible, after all, the two sides had nothing to do with each other, and Jenn had only lived here because of a friendship before. Now it is normal for him to leave, in the words of that gentleman, there is no banquet in the world, and mortals will always have a moment of parting.
But Lygia was not willing to let Jenn leave, at least these days of getting along made Lycia find herself deeply dependent on the man in front of her. It is precisely because of his existence that his originally boring life will become colorful. But if Jenn leaves, then Lygia can be sure that her life will return to its original monotony of black and white again.
Thinking of this, Lycia lowered her head. Look at your body. Slender and beautiful legs, plump buttocks, fair and smooth lower abdomen. Because I haven't had a baby yet. So it still maintains the mature charm unique to young women. Although Lygia is a woman with little knowledge, she is not stupid. She knew a down-and-out aristocrat like herself. Basically, there is no capital to attract Jenn, the only one who owns. It's just your own body.
But......... Is that really good?
The moment this thought came to Lygia's mind, the morality and guilt of the world also quickly arise. That Mr. Jenn was tough, but he was a decent man, and if he did such a shameless act, would he be disappointed? Or will she reprimand herself for being a woman who does not respect herself? Anyway, after all, she is a married woman, although she has lost her husband, but doing such a thing is not in line with the moral norms of the world, as a woman who has been educated by strict traditions since childhood, Ligia cannot get rid of the constraints of this rule.
But............ What can be done?
Just as Lycia was wandering in the depths of her heart, suddenly, an inexplicable voice appeared in her head. The voice was so dark, but it had a warm feeling.
He will leave you, that's an established fact. Even if you can maintain a semblance of friendship, what's the use? Could it be that if he comes to see you in a few days and tells you a few stories, he will be able to soothe your inner irritability and restlessness? When he leaves, don't you have to endure the loneliness and anxiety caused by the emptiness of the flesh? That being the case, so why not take a gamble? If you succeed, you will be able to regain your happiness as a woman, isn't that what you want?
The thought startled Lygia, and she even instinctively sat up from the bath and looked around, as if someone was hiding in the dark corner. But in fact, there were no other figures here, and the light of the candles reflected softly on the walls and marble floors, empty.
How can I do that? In any case, she is also a responsible woman, and if such a thing spreads, then it will lose the face of the Black family.........
But is it really that important to have a face between nobles? Lygia herself had heard more than once of the private absurdities of the noble ladies and ladies, but she had thought that they had nothing to do with her. But now that I put myself in their shoes, Lygia seemed to understand their thoughts.
But someone else is someone else, as a descendant of nobility. How can you commit such a debauchery yourself?
What kind of aristocratic descendant are you? Blake is just a down-and-out family, and no one even invites you to a noble tea party. In their eyes, this down-and-out aristocratic lineage was meaningless at all. No matter how much you insist on the traditions and pride of the nobility. But it won't be recognized by others, will it?
Lygia's mind was in turmoil, and two voices rang in her ears, which also represented her hesitant thoughts. After all, this kind of thing is inconvenient to say, and if Jenn is the kind of person who is as lustful as her life, then Likia may be more relaxed. But the problem is that she can't see through Jenn's thoughts at all, and his reaction seems to be teasing herself at first glance, but she keeps a distance from herself politely, and that's why. Lizia would suffer so much, after all, she was not sure whether the other party really liked her. If he has such feelings for himself, then it is better to say. But what if he just treats himself as an ordinary person? Lygia had seen the girls who followed Jenn with her own eyes, and they were all stunning, even the young knights in armor, and their demeanor was full of elegance and grandeur that only nobles possessed. They are beautiful, resilient, pure and immaculate. And loyal to their masters, at every level. He has a better choice than himself.
So, what should you do? Looking at the ring on her finger, Lycia gritted her teeth, finally. She closed her eyes, stood up, and sighed helplessly.
At this moment, even Lygia herself did not know the answer.
The light of the candle illuminated the desk in front of me.
Jenn leaned back in his chair. Looking at Wen Jiàn in his hand, a solemn look flashed in his eyes. This information was obtained from the Chamber of Commerce at his expense. In fact, it is not a particularly important and secretive text, but just some records of the battles in the swampy areas of the West. But that's what they record. It made Jenn feel very bad.
According to intelligence, Klein's necromantic army was slowly advancing, and the Starr defenses were almost useless. This is also very normal, Jenn knows how powerful his cheap big brother is, the five siblings of the son of the demon king all have their own research directions, and Klein's specialty is necromantic transformation. This kind of necromantic transformation is not just a simple transformation into an undead creature, but can retain the strength of the opponent intact. Generally speaking, as long as it is a living being, it will lose a part of its power after being transformed into an undead creature, even at the legendary level. Because the power of living beings comes from life and soul, forcibly depriving them of life force will naturally cause damage to the soul. However, Klein's necromantic transformation can avoid this loss, which makes him stronger and stronger, and no matter how powerful the enemy sends a warrior to deal with it, as long as he dies, he will be immediately transformed into a necromantic creature. In this regard, it can be said that Klein's undead army has almost no natural predators.
But Jenn knew that Klein would eventually fail. Just like those demon kings in history, this made him worried. Because now there are many forces on the continent that have begun to pay attention to this immortal kingdom that has risen from the west and its rulers, and there are even gossip that those alliances that have disappeared are likely to reunite again. But Klein obviously doesn't care about that, he only expects to fight and die, and he doesn't care how much trouble he causes to others.
But forget it, I have long known that he is this kind of person, it is better to rely on himself than to ask for others, and it is better to do it yourself to be able to have enough food and clothing. Since this guy is a mess, he doesn't care about letting himself drink some soup.
However, what Jenn didn't expect was that at the moment when the enemy was clearly the enemy, the Starr people were still investigating who provoked the sleeping Necromantic Empire in the first place. It seems that these guys may still have some political purpose in attacking the dungeon in the first place, but Jenn is too lazy to care about these things.
"Knock knock."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Jenn put down the text in his hand and looked up at the door.
"Please come in."
With Jenn's voice, the door opened, and immediately after, a graceful figure appeared in front of Jenn.
"Mrs. Black?"
Looking at Lygia in front of him, Jenn couldn't help but reach out and push his glasses, and Lygia in front of him was not wearing a plain robe like usual. On the contrary, she wore lace, translucent pajamas with graceful curves that loomed in the candlelight, bringing a bit of seduction. And at this moment, Lygia's face was also slightly red, I don't know if it was because of the effect of the candlelight, or for some other reason.
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, that's ........."
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Lygia hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I saw that there was still light in your room, so I wanted to come and have a look......... Aren't you going to sleep at such a late hour? Mr. Jenn? ”
"It's almost time to rest, thanks for the reminder, Mrs. Black."
As he spoke, Jenn put away the information and smiled at Lycia and nodded. Seeing his smile, Lyzia seemed even more cramped and uneasy.
"That......... Can you take the liberty of asking, what are you looking at? ”
"Just about some troubles in the West......... It doesn't seem to be very calm over there, so I'm going to go west when things are dealt with here. ”
Of course, this is Jenn's rhetoric, after all, his own job is the master of the dungeon, and he can't help but do his job, right? Hearing his words, Lycia was taken aback.
"Are you going to get out of here?"
"Almost, probably going to be away for a while............ Any questions? ”
"No, nothing......... I'm just ............"
At this moment, Lygia had no idea what to say, and the news she heard from Jenn made her feel like a thunderbolt in the sky. She originally thought that even if the other party had her own manor, she would come to visit her from time to time. But now it seems, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with, so I won't disturb your rest......... Have a good dream, Mr. Jenn. ”
As she spoke, Lycia hurried away from the crowd.
She didn't notice it, staring at her departing back, Jenn's eyes showed a strange smile. (To be continued......)
