The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 551: The emotional problems of the second prince

Views:

As one of the main persons in charge of the security of this annual meeting, Snow has naturally come to the First Magic Academy a long time ago. In fact, he left the Military Intelligence Agency with Regnar, but then Regnar left on his own, and Snow began to arrange the secret surveillance work of the Military Intelligence agents.

But what was weird was that after Snow had simply arranged things, one of his Military Intelligence agents reported that Regnar had been here for more than an hour. This made Snow have doubts in his mind.

Being meticulous in doing things has always been Snow's strength, so he did not let go of this small question. But it was naturally impossible for him to go directly to Regnar to ask what was going on. He just followed Regnar's previous instructions and removed the good men who were originally arranged to protect Alexander, but instead, Snow himself stayed in the dark to observe Alexander and the movements around him.

And the assassin who had just shined in the duel caught Snow's attention. As the acting director, Snow naturally knows the basic information of his subordinates better than Regner does. And he was extremely certain that this middle-aged man with a beard was definitely not a member of the Military Intelligence Department.

This made Snow even more wary. Regnar's weird arrangements before, coupled with the sudden appearance of this man pretending to be a master of Military Intelligence...

Snow had a vague guess in her mind. But because Regnar also stayed with Alexander, Snow didn't act rashly at this time.

"Did you just come back?" Regnar asked as he walked away. He winked at Number One behind him, signaling her not to stay too close to eavesdrop on their conversation, but also not to stay too far away to make him look for her. Not found…

"Yes, the war in the empire has eased a bit recently, and I am finally free to go home." Alexander said with a smile.

Although Alexander's tone was very flat when he spoke, Regner still caught one word - go home. He didn't say he would meet Merindl, or take a two-day break, he just said go home.

It seems that even such a Melinder and a heavily guarded palace have special meaning to Alexander.

"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Then when will you leave?"

"In three days, right? You know, the Empire will launch a new round of offensive to the south in the spring." Alexander shrugged: "So, even if I am free now, I can't go anywhere. There are still things that need to be done. To do it.”

"You're really busy!" Regnar couldn't help but sigh. After all, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and even a military intelligence director like him can't spend a few days with Irene and Inelise without feeling ashamed. . But Alexander still has to run around outside. He is also the prince of the Hawke Empire. Judging from his experience over the years, Alexander has suffered much more than Joffrey. And even Regnar had to admit that Alexander was excellent, very good.

"There is no way. After General Manhattan leaves, some people will always need to step up to fill his vacancy." Alexander said sincerely: "I don't have the talent of the old general, so I can only rely on time and perseverance to make up for it."

"..." Regnar said nothing. Only at this moment did he understand the difference between Alexander and himself.

Although he is now known as one of the best assassins in the Chino continent, he has attributes and abilities that are envied by most people. But in fact, Regnar never felt that he was the kind of hero in knight novels who could save the world.

He doesn't have much ambition, and he doesn't have much interest in conquering the world or saving the world. The only thing Regnar wants to do is to protect the people around him with his own hands and give the people around him a better life. This is the only goal he has lived for more than 20 years, and it is also a good wish that allows him to sacrifice a lot for it. This wish may seem quite boring and ordinary to others. But this is the most important thing in this life for Regnar, because he himself also understands that, just like others said, he is just a coward, a coward who worries about gains and losses.

And Alexander, he is the protagonist in the knight novel. He is tall, handsome, fearless, and possesses various qualities that a hero should have, such as bravery, kindness, perseverance, integrity, and hatred of evil. Moreover, he also has his own ambitions. Although Alexander had just shown his family-loving side, compared with Regnar, Alexander was a man who could afford to take things and let go. At least, he can abandon these gentle towns that others envy without hesitation, and then resolutely step into a world composed only of men, blood and muscles...

Regnar couldn't do this.

Just talking about war being purely a man's business, Regnar couldn't help but think of that little bit of red among the thousands of troops. The girl who has always been by Alexander's side, as sharp as a knife, as cold as steel, as gentle as water, and as charming as a flower.

Thinking about it this way, Regnar remembered that he still owed Lisanna a promise. At that time, this girl did not hesitate to run for more than ten days just to confirm Irene's safety. Regnar was deeply moved at that time. Moreover, what made Regnar feel even more grateful was that she really saved Irene's life. If it hadn't been for her... Regnar could hardly imagine it. Since Lisanna has done so much for herself, Regnar will naturally not forget to give this girl some help occasionally.

He asked directly: "Speaking of which, where is Lisanna now? Isn't she your personal bodyguard now?"

"The personal guard also needs to take a vacation." Alexander shrugged: "It is rare for her to go back to Melinder. I gave her two days of vacation and asked her to go back and spend time with her father."

"I can't tell you have a delicate side." Regnar pretended to look at Alexander in surprise.

"Hey!" Alexander suddenly felt wronged: "I am a careful person, right?"

"Are you careful?" Regnar expressed disbelief: "If you were careful, you would have noticed it by now, right?"

"What did you say?" Alexander's expression was a bit confused. It seemed that he was not really pretending to be crazy and knowingly asked.

"I'm talking about Lisanna's feelings for you." Regnar sighed: "You should know what she thinks."

"I know." Alexander nodded.

"Lisanna is kind to me, so don't blame me." Regnar smiled helplessly: "I want to ask, what do you think?"

"..." Alexander didn't seem to be disgusted with Regner's questions about his personal feelings. He was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Regnar was not particularly surprised by this, because he always felt that Alexander was still alone in his twenties, and had never even heard of rumors of having an affair with other women. Judging from his own psychology as a peer, Regnar felt that Alexander either had a strong sense of self-discipline, or that there was some kind of deviation in his sexual orientation. Based on the current situation, Regner thinks the latter is more likely.

So, Regnar imagined some scenes between Alexander and Just here.

"Huh... Huh... Your Highness... are you feeling comfortable?"

"Yeah... not bad... try harder... Huhu... Xiao Jia..."

"Uh... hum... Your Highness, it's my turn now."

"Okay, come on, get down..."

"Uh-huh!" This last sound was not Regnar's imagination, but his own. Because this guy can't stand his own wet and evil thoughts.

This is not because Regnar has any inherent qualities, but because Regnar is the director of the Military Intelligence Department, he will naturally inadvertently collect some not-so-good information and intelligence from the nobles of the two empires. Therefore, after years of exposure, it was impossible for Regnar to be pure even if he wanted to.

Regnar shook his head and got rid of all the dirty thoughts in his mind. Then he looked at Alexander seriously and said: "Hey, Alexander, I don't want to joke with you about this. Listen to me carefully."

"What do you want to say?" Alexander turned to look at Regner with interest.

"I know that some things can't come through reluctantly." Regnar organized his words before saying slowly: "So, I don't force you to have a good result with Lisanna. However, I hope you won't tease Her. At least, if you don't like it, break up with her as soon as possible. Lisanna is my benefactor, and I don't want her to be hit because of this kind of thing."

"..." Alexander turned his head unexpectedly. He looked at Regna with a strange look, and then suddenly laughed: "Hahahahahaha!"

"why are you laughing?"

"Hahaha!" Alexander laughed for a while, only stopping when he felt that Regnar was about to explode. He looked at Regna with a friendly and gentle smile, and after a while he said, "You guessed it wrong, I like Lisanna, and I also decided to make her my wife."

"Huh?!" Regnar was stunned. He originally thought Alexander shook his head to mean rejection, but looking at this situation, he seemed to have made a mistake.

"I mean." Alexander patted Regnar on the shoulder: "Lisanna is a very good wife candidate for me. She is gentle and smart. I also admit that I like her very much, but not now, I friend. I feel that I have to wait at least until the war is over and everything becomes stable before I can think about these things. Personal relationship issues are relatively low on my list of things. But I can promise that I will treat her well. .”

"..." Hearing Alexander say this, Regnar finally felt relieved. Although he didn't spend much time with Lisanna, Lisanna was also a very important friend to him. Therefore, since Alexander has promised to treat this girl well, Regnar is naturally relieved. At least in Regnar's view, this Alexander is a guy who keeps his word.

"Now that it's said that." Alexander hammered Regnar's chest: "I would also like to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
