"Does Sister Anne know about this?" Irene asked with some worry. Since Fortress Costa, she has had another backbone, and that is Annelotte.
Because Frost Maiden's performance in recent years can indeed be said to be omnipotent. The champion of the tournament, he helped her restore her appearance, developed magic cannons that many alchemists could not restore, and even single-handedly killed a man named Saron who even Regnar's brother couldn't defeat. Therefore, since Annelotte saved Regnar from Saron, Irene has become somewhat dependent on her, and didn't she also say that? Erin can trust her!
"I will tell Annie, don't worry." Regnar replied with a smile.
Since Regnar didn't hide anything from Annelotte, this proves that there really isn't much danger in this matter. Although this logic is outrageously weird, Erin thinks so. So, the half-elf nodded: "Well, come with me tomorrow to talk to Sister Anne and little Yi Ni, I have to supervise you!"
"Okay, okay..." Regnar smiled helplessly.
…
The next day, Regnar did not act cunning. He honestly followed Irene to find Annelotte. Because he had suffered several losses before, Regner had become a lot more stable this month, and although he was a little unwilling to do so, he had to admit that Annelotte was more than a star and a half better than him in all aspects. So if you have any questions, you can definitely ask her for advice!
But every time he did this, Regnar always felt like he was kneeling on the bedside and surrendering to his wife's power...
Unexpectedly, Inelise was unable to get out because of some small experiments of her own, and Regnar only saw Annelotte. Fortunately, the most important thing for him this time was to meet Her Majesty the Frost Queen, so Regnar didn't pay much attention and just carefully told Annelotte what he was going to do.
Seeing that Regnar came to ask her for instructions so honestly, Annelotte didn't say anything to stop her. She knew Regnar's abilities. Although it was not possible to deal with Saron, it still wouldn't work if he just sneaked into the thousand-year-old capital to steal something. Too dangerous.
"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you." Regnar continued after getting Annelotte's approval: "Although it is just a plan, but because it has something to do with you, I think I'd better ask you first. The opinion is better.”
"What's the matter?" Annelotte asked.
"Actually..." Regnar glanced at the two girls, and then lowered his voice and said, "I don't really want to stay in the Military Intelligence Department anymore. I really can't handle the intrigues in the imperial officialdom. If I quit, Do you have any objections?"
"No objection." Irene was the first to express her opinion. In fact, she had long since not wanted Regner to stay in such a dangerous place. If he planned to leave the Military Intelligence Agency, then Irene would definitely agree.
"I..." Annelotte didn't know whether to admit or deny. As soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly remembered something. Then the Frost Girl's face suddenly turned a little red, and she said angrily: "What does it have to do with me?!"
"Ah, it's really none of Lady Anne's business. Didn't I ask you to give me some advice..." Regna pretended to be very aggrieved.
"..." Annelotte's face turned even redder when Regnar snatched her away from her. She was silent for a moment, and then said, "I have no objection to your withdrawal."
"Just say yes, why are you so arrogant all day long?" Regna muttered in a low voice, and then suddenly felt a cold feeling on his butt.
Annelotte glared at Regnar fiercely, and then continued: "But I think it will be difficult for you to quit."
"I admit this." Regnar nodded: "After all, after staying in this quagmire for a long time, it is really not easy to get out."
"What are your plans?" Annelotte asked.
"Let's take it slow. I don't think this matter can be rushed." Regnar replied: "Today I just want to ask your opinion, as long as you don't object. But don't make any noise about this matter. I Let’s do some small experiments on our own first and then we’ll talk.”
"Yeah, I know." Erin replied.
"Okay, you can take care of it yourself. If you have any questions, you can come to me." Annelotte nodded. She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Speaking of which, I also have something to tell you."
"What?"
"I think little Innie has been acting strangely lately," Annelotte said.
"What do you mean?" Regnar couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He thought it was something big, but it turned out to be little Yi Ni. Isn't she good? It's probably Anne who is overthinking.
"I can't tell you the specifics, but she has been obviously absent-minded recently. And she always seems to be evasive when looking at me." Annelotte could only explain it this way. There is indeed no obvious and unique manifestation of Inelise's abnormality. . But Annelotte saw her problem carefully. At least, this little girl must have something on her mind now.
"You are so..." Before Regnar could say the word "heart", Annelotte's gaze made him tremble. Since the battle at Costa Fortress, Regnar's fear of the Frost Maiden has become even more intense. At any time, at any time, Regnar would rather fight and scold Malolite than dare to provoke his daughter. Because this woman is really scary...
"I... I will talk to Yi Ni when I come back." Regnar replied hesitantly.
"Okay." Annelotte also knew that she was going to the thousand-year-old capital after all, so it was better not to distract him at this time.
…
At the other end of the laboratory, in Inelise's own alchemy laboratory, the little girl was staring at her crystal ball with a pale face.
"Although you don't know magic, you know magic. You can naturally tell whether this is an illusion or something that just happened." In the same way, the same sinister voice whispered in Enelise's ear. .
"Brother Regnar... he really doesn't want me anymore?" Inelise murmured. Because the research on the magic energy cannon has reached the final stage, Inelise has basically been stuck in the alchemy laboratory for research this month. On the contrary, Annelotte ran out more often.
In fact, the reason why Annelotte ran away was because of matters at the Magic Academy. The college is about to be built, and she, the prospective principal, will always have some things to deal with. So the Frost Girl took time out of her busy schedule and ran out of the alchemy laboratory. This made Inelise suspect that Annelotte had sneaked out to find Regnar.
Under the instigation of that voice, Inelise's resentment towards Annelotte became deeper and deeper. Coupled with the fact that the voice used a crystal ball to show Regnar and Irene being intimate in a room from time to time, Inelise almost collapsed under the continuous torture and harassment of the voice for a month.
But today, Regnar came to the alchemy laboratory and actually ignored Inelise. He neither called Inelise to come out to discuss the matter, nor did he pay any attention when Annelotte reminded him. Could it be...does he really not care about Yi Ni
"No! It's not!" Inelise said to herself in her heart: "Brother Regnar would not do that! He said that Inelis is the most important person to him!"
"Then why does he always ignore you? Why?! Wasn't it because he ignored you? What else could it be because of?" he asked in a sharp voice.
"It's... it's because of those two women! Because they are prettier than Yi Ni, brother Regnar was just confused by their appearance and ignored Yi Ni!" Inelise couldn't help but be frightened that she had such an idea. One jump. But the more she tried to avoid it, the more this idea wormed its way into her mind like maggots.
"What should you do? What do you want to do? What can you do?" The voice repeated these three questions to Inelise like brainwashing.
Helpless, angry, scared, sad. Aenerys had never been in so much pain, not even during the tragic deaths of Gerhardt and Minnie. Because Regnar appeared at that time, this gave Inelise, who had lost her brother and sister, some psychological comfort. At least after experiencing such suffering, she was not a person with nothing.
But today, Enelise felt like she had nothing. Her brother and sister left, and she still had Regnar, but when she felt that Regnar had also abandoned her, what was left for Inelise
"Why? Why did you take away my brother Regnar? Why? Why?!" Big tears fell from Inelise's eyes. She reached out her hand tremblingly, then withdrew her hand several times. But in the end, Enelise touched a material on her alchemy bench. And that material was one of the ingredients in the formula that the voice told him a month ago...
At this time, Regnar had no idea that his unintentional neglect had caused Inelise to fall into great pain. He just carefully prepared what he needed for this trip, then carefully studied the information in his hand, and thought about how to deal with various situations.
Regnar had developed this habit very early, but after being slapped three times by Annelotte, Regnar realized how irresponsible it was for him to just fight so casually. So he acted much more cautiously and steadily after that than before.
After confirming that everything was ready, Regnar formally bid farewell to Annelotte and others. Inelis was also present when they parted, and Regnar also observed Inelis specifically. He found that the girl seemed completely normal. It seems that Annelotte is overthinking.
Regnar went on the road with such a mood, but he didn't know that Inelis was staring at his back, repeating three words in his heart: "Forgive me."
