Ask felt a little uncomfortable.
If the matter of Medea was because he was drugged, and the matter of Eleanor was because he was arranged, then as for the matter of Mi'er, he really seemed to be unable to find a suitable excuse.
As an adult male, it is somewhat shameful to let a woman take the initiative.
But when Mi'er made a move, his mind went blank for a while, and when he came back to his senses...
In short, probably the consequence of not taking the initiative for a long time is that every time he should take the initiative, he is a beat slower than the woman.
With this snap, the initiative changed hands. Although the result did not change, the process was more embarrassing.
No, you have to take the initiative!
After learning from his mistakes, Ask decided to be a real man and not be arranged by others again.
Not long after he made up his mind, as if God was testing him, Matilda found him in the Grand Palace.
"Nora is here?" Ask was a little surprised.
"Yes, the Saint wants to see you." Matilda was a little nervous because she was afraid that after her sister came back, her brother-in-law would tell her about the matter, and then she might be questioned.
However, those luxury goods were just too tempting... Ah, no, it was because sister Adelaide asked me to do so. After all, they were both sisters, and it would be bad to offend either of them.
Besides, Sister Adelaide also said that if Sister Sophie really blames me, she can help me take the blame.
Matilda thought so, and then she mustered up her courage again and said:
"It's in the south of the city, in the newly built manor of Count Siegel. The Saint Lady is already waiting for you there."
"Yeah." Just as Matilda was thinking about what other reasons she could use to convince her brother-in-law if he disagreed, she heard Ask nodded and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll go over now."
"Eh?" This answer caught Matilda off guard, but she was soon overjoyed and said quickly, "My car is just outside the palace. Can I take you there, brother-in-law?"
"Is that so? Thank you for your help then."
Not understanding why his sister-in-law was so enthusiastic, Ask simply agreed.
…
Nora.
It's been a long time indeed.
In the back seat of the car, Aske, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly heard his sister-in-law Matilda curiously ask:
"Brother-in-law, how did you get to know the Saint Lady?"
"Didn't your sister tell you?" Ask replied with a smile, "We used to be in the same mercenary team."
"Mercenary group?" Matilda was a little puzzled.
Eleanor did not keep the Blue Sword secret after she came back, but she was not interested in talking about it either. However, even the few words she mentioned during the casual chat seemed a bit too sensational.
For example, the White Emperor and the Red Witch of the Helsingor Empire in the north, the Saint of the Italian Church, the Storm Queen and the Scarlet General of the Eastern Solomon Empire, and the captain of the Ghost Fleet galloping across the Mediterranean...all of them are overlords or leaders of forces, demigods who control the life and death of thousands of people.
