In fact, Soshiyang had vaguely guessed that the other party would ask this. It was not difficult for him to control his emotions, so he did not show any surprise or panic, and just answered calmly:
"As you know in the past, she is my assistant and also handles some psychic matters."
Soshyan thought there was nothing wrong with his expression, but Velez frowned slightly.
"Alexei, why are you lying?"
"Um?"
"The ring on Veronica's hand, she is already married, and the servants of your battle group also call her Madam."
Soshyan was horrified. He remembered that he had asked Veronica not to wear the ring in public. When did Velez find out? Did Veronica wear it in front of Velez on purpose?
Alas, it's really difficult to do.
But it is impossible to admit it, you can only insist on it.
"This is her private matter, you know, and I, as-"
"Then who is her husband, or lover?"
Velez took a step forward, and Soshyan could only take one step back.
"I just said, this is a private matter I-"
"She is such an important personal assistant, so you know nothing about her private life? And under such circumstances, you can still trust her with many important tasks?"
Velez emphasized the word "close" very hard, and even trembled a bit. As she walked, Soshyan retreated, and her expression gradually became awkward. Who could have imagined that the powerful expedition lord was defeated in front of a nun.
Finally, Soshyan couldn't retreat, and his leg hit Velez's desk.
"Anna."
Soshyan, whose mind was racing with countermeasures, first called Velez's nickname, which made the other party pause for a moment and stop the interrogation. Then he immediately defended:
"Things are actually not what you think-"
"Oh? Do you know what I'm imagining? As an Astartes, shouldn't you be able to think of such a thing?"
Soshyan never thought that Velez would have such an aggressive side, but just when he was at a loss for words, the other party's attitude suddenly changed.
Velez turned around, walked to Soshyan, stretched out his hand and gently touched the ebony holy emblem on the table, and whispered:
"To protect and punish, this is the mission of the Battle Sisters, and it is also the oath I swore in front of the God Emperor. The so-called protection is to protect the purity of mankind, whether it is mind or body, and the so-called punishment is to punish evil and heresy. The former is the goal.
, the latter is a means."
Soshyan was a little confused as to why the other party suddenly started talking about doctrine.
Velez turned his head, looked into his eyes, and said very seriously:
"You are the warrior and champion of the God-Emperor. I also believe that you will be the sword of light that pierces the darkness that shrouds the empire in the future. You are too important to mankind. I cannot sit back and watch your soul fall into the abyss."
"Well, things may not be as you think."
Velez suddenly stretched out his hands and took one of Soshyan's hands.
"The original sin of desire is rooted in our flesh. Each of us is trying our best to fight against it. The Astartes should be the benchmark of perfection, but you are special. You must also be desired when you possess transcendent power.
It is a despicable method used by evil forces to prevent the rise of mankind. They have created this Agathios heel in you."
Soshyan was really a little dumbfounded at this time. He couldn't understand what was going on with Velez, and he suddenly had such strange thoughts.
He didn't know that all this was instilled in Velez by someone close to her over many years.
"How about we change the time."
Velez took Soshyan's hand, pressed it on his chest, lowered his eyebrows and whispered piously.
"Alexei, repent. Recognize your sins, and I will help you purify those desires."
Feeling the softness and tenderness in his palm, Soshyan froze for a moment, and then an awkward smile appeared on his face.
"Well, what, Anna, I really have other things to do. Maybe I can continue this theological discussion if I have time later."
Velez raised her head suddenly. She changed from the gentle nun to a fierce warrior.
"Are you going to accompany her?"
"I'm going to check on the latest battle situation in the fifth and sixth theaters, and Kosaro Khan from the third theater will be arriving soon."
"is that so."
Velez let go of her hand, her eyes became gentle again, and Soshyan was able to break free from the warmth and delicacy in her hand.
"The war is important, so don't push yourself too hard. Take a break once in a while."
Soshyan nodded and turned around to leave this awkward atmosphere.
Suddenly, he felt something grabbing his burqa from behind and slowly pressing it against his body.
"Alexei, I will invite you again. You must resist sin. I will help you."
Soshiyang coughed lightly and whispered:
"I go first."
"Um."
The other party let go of his hand, and Soshyan immediately fled from the bedroom like flying.
Watching the other party disappear outside the gradually closing door, Velez walked to the bed beside her and slowly sat on the edge of the bed. She held her hands in front of her chest and felt that her heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to jump out of her chest.
Then she touched her cheek with the back of her left hand, which was also hot.
Although those words just now were very implicit, they were still a huge challenge for her. However, Soshyan did not refuse in the end, which made her feel a lot more relaxed and even more worried.
Her close adviser was right. Soshyan's "sins" were getting heavier and heavier because of that woman. He must be rescued and offset the sins with the power of piety.
On the other side, Soshyan felt like he had really seen a ghost today. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing strange about Velez, he even wondered if he had been swapped. Why did he seem to be a different person after not seeing each other for so many years, and he didn't look carefully at the time?
, recalling it again, it seems that Velez’s appearance has not changed at all over the years.
Although she had been in the stasis field for some time, that was decades ago.
Soshyan always felt that something was wrong. This time he was a little flustered because he was caught off guard. Next time he would have to ask Velez what happened.
After that, he went to do some chores, and it took him another two hours to take off his burqa, put on regular clothes, and return to the bedroom.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard the ringing of the bell, and when he looked closely, he saw his beloved wife standing in front of her pretty, with a small pine tree covered with colorful lights behind her.
At this time, she was wearing a red sleeveless dress with white velvet trim, long red gloves on her hands, white garters covering her slender legs, and a large area of skin from her chest to her shoulders that caught the eye. On her feet were a pair of
Wearing red high heels, she also wore a collar around her neck with a small bell tied to it, and her long, soft hair was tied behind her head.
"Happy holidays, my dear~"
Her cherry-red lips uttered words of blessing, and her delicate face smiled sweetly. Then she bent forward, shook the golden bell in her hand, and said softly:
"The meal is ready, do you want to——?"
Before she finished speaking, Soshyan had already closed the door and picked her up, and the bell in his hand fell to the ground.
"Hmm, I'm in such a hurry today."
After a few indistinct words, the only sounds left in the room were heavy breathing and high-pitched moans.
