Chapter VII(1/2)
Walking through the hall, I found Colter and told him that I would not come out tonight and asked him to see off the guests for me.
When we arrived at my room, Lucy hurriedly stood up to greet me. She was still wearing a ball gown. According to her usual "airtight" dressing style, her exposed shoulders were covered with a delicately embroidered shawl.
"Sit down! I'm so thirsty, it's so hot." I took a sip from the water glass and said, "The party is full of wine, do you want a glass of water?"
"I don't have to." Lucy sat down with a smile, shook her head and said, "I'm used to it."
I sat across from Lucy and joked: "We haven't seen each other for a long time! Beautiful female boss."
Lucy lowered her eyes: "Master Governor, please stop teasing Lucy. Please forgive Lucy for her rudeness last time."
"Don't blame Amaterasu." I said, "As for my true identity, I asked him to keep it a secret and not to mention it to anyone."
"Lucy won't blame Amaterasu. In fact, in my heart, I have always regarded him as a younger brother." Lucy said softly: "Besides, these are your men's affairs. It's not easy for me, a woman, to interfere."
"Those businessmen, why do they push you to the front?"
"It's to get information about you." When it came to business, Lucy raised her eyes and looked at me: "They raised a lot of money and wanted me to... let me meet all your requirements and do everything they can.
May stay with you to get your true thoughts."
"You agreed?" I chuckled: "You don't need to use honorific titles for me, just call me sir!"
"Yes, sir, I agreed." Lucy blushed and said, "Because I have recognized you just now, and they paid a lot of money."
"That's right." I nodded and said, "You also know that I am short of money."
"Everyone in Wanpu knows this." Lucy answered me: "But you are so wise, you will definitely solve it, right?"
I stood up and walked to the window: "Of course, there's no way this governor can't defeat these businessmen."
"yes."
I turned around and said, "You are so smart, you should have guessed the identity of the governor's friend, right?"
Lucy nodded honestly.
"You know how?"
"I know." Lucy lowered her head: "I will keep this secret forever."
"You don't need to be so nervous. There is the strictest defense here and there is a magic barrier. No one knows what we are talking about." I leaned against the window sill: "Where are the ladies who have accompanied us?"
"They are still there." Lucy said, with a hint of worry in her eyebrows: "The two older ones are helping me take care of the hotel business; the other two younger ones have always been by my side, and I taught them
Some etiquette did not ask them to do anything."
I lowered my head and thought about it.
"Sir." Lucy suddenly stood up and came closer, looking directly at me bravely: "They are all poor women with rough backgrounds. They are pure in nature. Please, sir..."
"What are you doing?" I stared at Lucy in surprise. The expression on her face had turned into pleading: "I didn't say what I wanted to do to them."
"Sir, just promise Lucy!" Perhaps thinking that I was perfunctory, Lucy bit her lip and tears were already streaming from her eyes: "If you promise, I, I will accompany you..."
Wait, looking at her like this, it seems like she didn't originally intend to accompany this governor... What? She actually doesn't want to accompany me?
"Lucy, don't worry. I really didn't think about doing anything to them. The Governor always keeps his word." I took out the handkerchief in my pocket and wiped the tears from her face: "I am very touched by your words.
Interested, why don’t you want to accompany me?”
"Please forgive me, sir. I know that I have no right to resist you. With your mind and means, I will never be able to resist you." Lucy lowered her head and said, "But please listen to me and express my feelings. I am willing to serve for the rest of my life."
Serve me, and I will always be loyal to you. But please, sir, please give up the idea of getting my body."
Listening to Lucy's words, I felt a little dazed and even forgot to put down the hand holding the handkerchief.
Before meeting me, Lucy was very miserable running a brothel, but she could remain pure and refused to sell her body even if her life was threatened. This was a bit weird in itself. After meeting me, I learned that
After my identity, just like tonight, she should be happy to give herself to me... Why, how could this happen?
But what is even more puzzling to me is that I am not angry, not at all. I am only confused.
"You know." I lifted Lucy's chin: "Lucy, after I became a noble, you were the first person to ask me to give up something, and you were also a lady."
Lucy looked at me with the same surprise.
"You rejected me, a governor and a blessed knight. According to my usual character, I should have given you two slaps in anger, then stripped you of your clothes and thrown them on the bed..." At this point,
I couldn't help but shook my head in confusion: "But now, this young master is not angry at all!"
At this moment, Lucy's face suddenly showed a smile.
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm sorry, sir." Lucy apologized quickly: "The way you shook your head just now... you were really like a child."
"Child?" I asked with my mouth wide open.
"Yes, sir, I do look like a child." Lucy almost laughed again: "You look like this now, like a child under ten years old. Anyone who sees the expression of a good baby like you can't help but smile.
Smiling."
I was completely stunned now. I must have been so humiliated now! Are you still a good boy? Is there any good boy who killed the demon alliance army and threw away his armor?
"What now?" I took back my hands and rubbed my face a few times, trying to put on a fierce expression: "Are you okay?"
"It's scary now." Lucy took a step back in fright: "My lord!"
I suppressed the panic in my heart, exhaled a breath, cursed in my mouth and walked to the table to sit down.
"Sister Lucy, do you have someone in your heart?" I tried to calm myself down: "If that's the case, I can help you."
"Come back to me, sir." Lucy walked up to me and said, "That's not it. I don't have a man I like yet."
"Then why didn't you promise me?" I looked up and asked, "Did you swear never to marry?"
"I haven't sworn an oath either." Lucy answered me: "Every lady should have her own secret, right?"
I nodded in sudden realization, having some idea of Lucy's origins.
"Well, I will call you Miss Lucy from now on." I took one of Lucy's hands and said, "I will promise you today that I will respect your decision. As long as you like whoever you choose in my territory.
Man, I will go and snatch him for you immediately!"
"Then thank you, Mr. Governor. I will pay attention and try my best to find myself a good husband." Strangely, Lucy readily accepted my proposal: "But what are you going to do about those women?
"
"Did you bring them?" I asked.
"I just sent the carriage to pick them up." Lucy answered me: "It should be there soon."
"Really?" I nodded: "Then I have to make arrangements."
I walked outside the door, said a few words to the rock, and then turned around and went back to the room.
"I will arrange for my two friends to be maids." I said to Lucy, "As for my two friends, let them stay here for now."
"Thank you, sir, for your tolerance."
"My tolerance is never given in vain." I whispered: "Actually, this time I come to Wanpu, I have one more important thing for you to do."
"What's going on?"
"Maybe in more than ten days, Amaterasu will send a group of ladies here, about twenty or more." I approached Lucy and whispered: "They are all very delicate young ladies. You have to help me subdue them."
they."
"Precious lady? This..." Lucy looked at me in surprise.
"They are all aristocratic ladies, and there may be even more noble ones." I shrugged: "You know, right? His Majesty Fechet Chamai is going to choose a concubine, but in this situation, how can I invite these ladies from aristocratic families? These
The candidates we 'invite' using special methods will be a little unhappy when they come, and you have to ensure that they happily accept His Majesty's selection, and that no one can see any flaws."
Lucy's eyes opened wider and wider, and it took a long time for her to understand what I meant after I finished speaking.
"I understand." Lucy nodded: "Please don't worry, sir, I will definitely be able to do it."
"Good job." I chuckled: "You sleep next door tonight, and tomorrow you can pretend that you are possessed by me."
Lucy's pretty face immediately turned red.
I asked some more interesting things that happened in Wamp, and when the previous dance was over, the carriage Lucy sent to pick up the people came back. When Lucy went to pick up the people, Colter came to my room.
"Sir, everything is done!"
"Any news from other troops?"
"Don't worry, sir, everyone has reported it." Colter answered me: "They are all moving forward according to the scheduled schedule, and there will be no mistakes."
"Okay, everything will go according to our plan." I waved my hand: "Go down and rest!"
As soon as Colt went out, Lucy came in with four women with veils on their heads.
"I've met the Governor." The four people raised their veils and gave me standard court etiquette: "Good night, Governor."
"No courtesy." I approached them and looked them up and down: "Well, you are my friend's beautiful and hot one; you, you are my innocent and lovely one!"
I recognized the four girls one by one. Every time I recognized one, she would answer me in a low voice and salute me again. It seemed that she had been trained by Lucy. And my eyesight was good enough, even after two years.
Years passed and I actually didn't admit the wrong person.
"It's already late, the Governor needs to rest." Lucy made arrangements beside her: "You two serve the Governor, you two come with me."
To be continued...
