"Brother Regnar..." Eileen looked over worriedly.
"Don't worry, Irene, it's okay..." This time it was Alpacino who spoke first.
"If the person Irene likes is really you, then I will not force her to stay with me..." Regnar adjusted his mood and then said: "But I can assure you that this kind of thing is impossible. occur."
"Really..." Alpacino seemed not to understand what Regner said at all.
"Do you know why I'm angry this time?"
"Because I'm here to pursue Erin?"
"Nonsense!" Regnar rolled his eyes: "You are poaching here, who wouldn't be angry? But more importantly, you put Irene in danger."
“…”
Regnar glared at Alpacino and said coldly: "Irene came here with you because she trusted you. And what about you? You can't even guarantee her safety. If I didn't do it this time If it follows, whether she is alive now is even a question. This is what pisses me off the most."
"..." Alpacino lowered his head and said nothing.
"For Irene's sake, I will let you go this time." Regnar said coldly: "But I warn you, stay away from Irene! If something like this happens again next time, regardless of Irene If anything happens, I will kill you. I do what I say, do you understand?"
"I know..." Alpacino said dejectedly.
"That's good." Regnar nodded: "Let Irene help you treat her."
"Are you still letting me have contact with her?" Alpacino was stunned.
"If I don't let her help you heal your wounds, even if this girl doesn't end up with me tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." Regnar smiled bitterly, and he knew Eileen's good intentions all too well: " So, go!”
Alpacino took a deep look at Regnar, and after a long while he said, "Now I understand why Irene likes you."
"That's right!" Regnar raised his head with a smile, then adjusted his hair with both hands and said, "Because I'm much more handsome than you!"
"I don't seem to understand again..." Alpacino was speechless.
Although Alpacino was beaten violently, he basically suffered some skin injuries, with only a slight bleeding in his stomach. Strictly speaking, these injuries were only the extent of what a gangster would sustain in a fight, so neither Alpacino nor Regner took them particularly seriously. However, the kind and timid Irene didn't see it that way. She pulled Alpacino and repeatedly performed three secondary healing spells. She felt relieved after watching the bruises on his body gradually fade.
"Is this relieved?" Regnar looked at Irene and asked helplessly.
"It should be almost done..." Eileen still seemed a little worried.
"Ah, he's so strong, he'll be fine!" Regnar was about to pull Eileen away: "Let's go, I just stretched my muscles, and now I'm a little hungry. Come back with me for another meal." .”
"Sooner or later I'll eat you up like a little pig!" Irene said angrily: "But wait a minute, I want to have a word with Brother Alpacino."
"Huh?" Regnar was stunned.
"Oh, come on over!" Erin said, pushing Regna aside.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous?" Regna joked as he walked away.
"Bah!" Erin spat again, blushing.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you at the magic street lamp over there." Regnar said helplessly.
After Irene saw Regna leave, she turned to look at Alpacino. She had prepared a lot of words in her mind, but when it came time to face Alpacino alone, she was too embarrassed to say no. Out.
"I'm really sorry this time, I was so useless..." Alpacino looked very guilty.
"No, it's not your fault..." Erin shook her head. She hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Speaking of which, I should be the one to apologize."
"???" Alpacino was a little confused.
"I'm sorry, Brother Alpacino." Irene said, "I'm too slow and haven't noticed your thoughts. I'm really sorry."
"..." Alpacino was silent.
"And..." Erin's face flushed slightly: "And I also... I..."
"You don't need to say anything, Irene." Alpacino smiled bitterly: "I understand, that Regna... is indeed much better than me."
"No..." Eileen shook her head: "Whether Brother Regnar is outstanding or not is not important to me. What is important is that he is the person, the one who will find ways to make me happy no matter how weak or powerless he is. The one who will fight tooth and nail to protect me.”
"It seems that a lot of things did happen between you and him." Alpacino looked gloomy.
"Yes. So, I'm sorry, Brother Alpacino, I... I... I can't accept you..." Irene really didn't know how to reject someone, so she could only say it firmly, even if she was not a good person. Nor was it sent to Alpacino.
"..." Although he was fully mentally prepared, when Irene said this clearly, Alpacino's face still showed strong disappointment and sadness. He smiled reluctantly: "I understand, I was too presumptuous this time, I'm sorry."
"..." Erin didn't know what to say.
Alpacino nodded to Regna who was looking this way, then said goodbye to Irene, turned around and left.
Irene looked at Alpacino's back apologetically, but in the end she didn't say anything more. She turned around and saw Regna looking at her with a half-smiling expression.
"Let's go." Regnar said.
Perhaps because of the Alpacino incident, Irene always felt that Regnar still had some knots in his heart. So when walking halfway, Irene finally couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry, brother Regnar..."
"Oh? Why do you need to apologize to me?" Regnar was stunned.
"I..." Eileen didn't know what to say. In fact, she herself was wondering why she apologized to Regnar
"Okay, it's okay." Regnar smiled: "You didn't do anything wrong in this matter, you don't have to apologize to me."
"You... aren't you angry?" Irene was stunned. She realized that Regner's smile at this time did not seem to be fake.
"Why are you angry? Is it because other men also like my girl?" Regnar asked back: "There are many people who like Annie! Then don't I have to be angry every day?"
"Sister Anne..." Whenever I think of that talented young mage, Irene always feels a little inferior in her heart, because she is so much better than herself.
But she also would not ask Regnar who was more important in his heart, himself or Annelotte. Because this question is boring and meaningless, the only effect is to make it difficult for Regnar, which is what Irene doesn't want to see.
"So, I won't be angry." Regnar looked at Irene and said seriously: "This incident only shows that Irene, you are also a very outstanding and attractive girl. Do I still want to do it because someone has proved it? Are you angry because you are so good?"
“…”
"Give yourself some confidence, Eileen." Regnar gently touched Eileen's little head: "You are a great girl."
"I'm just an ugly guy..." Erin touched her face.
"There will be a way to solve it." Regnar said, "I have already asked Annie. She will find a way to restore your appearance. Trust her! That girl will never agree to something that is uncertain."
"Thank you, and thank you sister Annie." Erin was moved.
…
After returning to the tavern, Regnar really took Eileen and had another hearty meal. The four of them ate, drank and laughed, and then Kordak announced his decision to go to the rear to rest for a few days in two days.
For this, both Regna and Vera voted in favor, but Irene insisted on staying here.
"There are still many wounded here, and I still have a lot of knowledge to learn from the teacher. I'll just stay here." Irene explained.
After hearing Eileen's unexpected decision, the three people also tried to persuade her, but this time Eileen was unexpectedly stubborn. In the end, the three of them had no choice but to follow her temper. Anyway, the fortress was quite safe. Just kidding, the second prince of the Hawke Empire is here, is it safe
But plans often fail to keep up with changes. Early the next morning, Kordak and others were called by the messenger. This time it was Tamro who was looking for them too.
"Okay, General Tamro, we don't plan to take on the mission this time. I discussed with a few companions that we should go back and rest for a few days." Kordak said straight to the point.
"This is a very critical task, we need your power!" Tamro began to persuade earnestly again.
"That should also be a headache for your military." Kordak frowned. He had done a lot for Tamro recently, so he was not so polite when he spoke: "Back then, the Empire We were promised to be free to move around, but since I came to Costa Fortress, Your Excellency has assigned us tasks one after another, which seems inconsistent with the original agreement, right?"
"Help us again, we really need a few elites this time." Alexander said.
"Why do you need to say more to them, Your Highness? They are just a group of mercenaries who work hard for money. What can you say to them?" Just mumbled, "Give them a few gold coins, and they will definitely help. Well, these people, in the final analysis, their lives are only worth these few gold coins!"
"What did you say?!" Kordak was immediately aroused. This Juster had been treating them badly when he first met them. Kordak didn't want to cause trouble, so he kept tolerating. But what Just said now was extremely mean, and even Kordak's steady temperament made him furious.
"Did I make a mistake? The country and the people need you, but you hide behind and enjoy yourself, huh!" Just did not give in.
"I don't owe you anything, so why am I here to work for you?!" Kordak's forehead had veins popping out: "Since the moment we met, you have been causing trouble for us. Do you really think that we are... Easy to bully?"
"What's the point of bullying you?" Just sneered: "It's just a bunch of wild people who have the skills of a three-legged cat. Don't be arrogant here!"
"Fuck! If you compare with me, you will know how much I am capable of!" Kordak cursed: "Do you dare?!"
"Why don't you dare?" Just said, "But, there's no point in competing here."
"What do you want?"
"If you lose, you must help us complete this mission without saying a word." Just said.
"So I'm waiting here." Kordak suddenly realized why Alexander said nothing while watching the two of them quarreling. But now that the words had been spoken, he didn't bother to change them. Kordak asked: "What if you lose?"
"Then it's up to you to decide!" Just replied without hesitation.
"Okay! If you lose, kneel on the ground and apologize respectfully to me. Everyone kowtows!" Kordak gritted his teeth.
"No problem!" Just said without hesitation.
