When Leng Ling saw the situation, his expression suddenly changed. He ran to the door of the room in three steps and then pressed the handle to enter the room.
But for some reason, the door could not be opened. Leng Ling and Sharda looked at each other, and they both hit the closed door at the same time.
"Boom!"
Once, twice, three times.
Finally, the door was knocked open by the combined efforts of the two.
The room was filled with smoke, and the unpleasant smell made the two of them cough.
However, no one was found in the room at all. There was only a pile of burning objects in the corner and two ropes made of sheets tied to the open window. Ruth had long since disappeared.
The black pupils suddenly shrank, Leng Ling walked to the window and looked downstairs.
As if feeling that she was being watched, Ruth raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of Leng Ling, with a few sly smiles flashing through her beautiful phoenix eyes.
Under the gloomy eyes like a deep lake, "She is below."
Sharda followed and looked down.
Sure enough, Mrs. Ruth was standing below, surrounded by several non-commissioned officers.
Everyone had long hated Valencia's aggression and cruelty to Lanson, and naturally they didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Ruth. Everyone was talking noisily and making a mess.
Leng Ling turned around and walked out, "Let's go down."
"yes."
The two brought Ruth to the conference room. Leng Ling closed the door and sat down.
His beautiful black eyes showed a faint sullenness, and his thin lips were pursed. He looked at Ruth without saying a word, but the other girl had a look of nothing on her face and was drinking coffee with a smile.
For a moment, the atmosphere around the three of them became very strange.
Salda looked at Leng Ling's tense profile and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"
Ruth raised her thin eyebrows, put down her cup and said, "As you can see, I'm fine."
"Then please can you tell us why you locked the door and set things on fire in the room just now?"
"I didn't lock the door. The door lock was broken." Ruth played with her green fingers. "As for those things, I felt they were useless, so I burned them." She raised her head and narrowed her brown eyes slightly. "Is there any problem?
?”
Sharda shook her head, "Of course there is no problem, but the sudden incident made both me and His Highness Leng Ling very worried."
"Oh?" Ruth's phoenix eyes turned slightly, scanning the faces of Leng Ling and Salda, her charming voice was full of playfulness, "Didn't His Highness Leng Ling say that Valencians are not welcome? What if?
Something really happened to me, and you should be happy. Because you hate Valencians."
Seeing Leng Ling's sharp eyes, Ruth's red lips curled up slightly, "Isn't it true, Your Highness Leng Ling?"
There were undercurrents in the black eyes. Leng Ling and Ruth looked at each other, trying hard to control the anger in their hearts, and the knuckles of their clenched palms turned white.
Sharda glanced at Leng Ling and pushed up her glasses, "Madam, you must not think like this. Although our two countries are still in a state of hostility, we will not anger you because of the tense relations between the two countries.
This is not our Lanson style.”
Ruth's fragrant cheeks moved slightly, and mockery flashed in her eyes, "Is this really the case, Your Highness Leng Ling?"
Leng Ling still said nothing, but the look in his eyes said everything.
"Madam, His Highness Leng Ling happens to be here too. I have something to ask you. Please cooperate with me in answering."
Ruth nodded lightly, "As long as I can answer, I will never hide it."
"What is your purpose in coming to Lanson?"
Ruth held her chin with one hand, "About this question, you can ask His Highness Leng Ling directly."
Leng Ling said bluntly, "She came to seek political asylum."
Ruth glanced at Leng Ling's expressionless face, her eyes ambiguous, "Karl wants me to die."
"Madam, as far as I know, your life has not been affected in any way since the death of your husband, Duke Ferdinand. On the contrary, the government has taken special care of you. There is no sign that Prime Minister Karl is dissatisfied with you."
Ruth snorted, obviously not agreeing with Sharda's statement, "That old guy has always suspected that I participated in my husband's actions. It's just that he is afraid of the strength of my family, and those nobles who are better with me are targeting him.
He put pressure on me, so he never dared to touch me. This time, he heard the news from nowhere, saying that I was secretly contacting anti-war elements and conspiring to overthrow his regime. I am a woman, and my husband is dead.
If you just want peace and stability, how could you have any thoughts about power? This Karl has made it clear that he wants me dead. After I die, his conspiracy will succeed."
Speaking of this, Ruth's eyes showed a bit of grievance and desolation. The sadness and helplessness in her eyes were deeply reflected in Leng Ling's eyes, completely losing the arrogant and cool aura before. Now she is just another person.
An ordinary woman, a poor helpless widow whose husband died.
However, Leng Ling knew that all of this was just an act of the woman in front of him. How could such a smart, cunning, and resourceful woman reveal her situation and inner thoughts to others so easily.
Even if she wants others to know her weaknesses and difficulties, it is just to hide her from others, or to win others' sympathy for her, so as to achieve her own goals.
Leng Ling's beautiful eyebrows gathered slightly, "What good will it do to Prime Minister Karl if I kill you?"
The murderous intent flashed in Ruth's eyes, "Kill me to consolidate his rule and let those who are dissatisfied with him see what will happen to me. That's why I want to seek asylum in Lanson."
Salda nodded, her eyes behind the lenses showing a hint of uncertainty, "So, Mrs. Ruth, do you think we, Lanson, will give you protection?"
"If we can cooperate, I think you have no reason to reject me. I have a large amount of military intelligence about Valencia in my hands, as well as confidential documents about Carl's private contacts with dignitaries of other countries. I believe
, these things must be very useful to you."
Leng Ling's tone was cold, "I'm sorry, we refuse to cooperate with you."
The slender fingers shook, "No, Your Highness, I advise you to think about it again or convey my wishes to Mr. President. He will definitely be very interested."
"The president has conveyed his intention to me. No matter what conditions you put forward, we will not agree to it."
"Your Highness Leng Ling, if you don't cooperate with me, it will be your loss Lansen. One day, you will regret what you said today."
Leng Ling no longer wanted to waste any more words with Ruth. He raised his voice and said, "Lance, send Mrs. Ruth out."
"yes."
Seeing that she couldn't convince Leng Ling, Ruth didn't say anything more. Her complex eyes wandered across Leng Ling's handsome features, then she winked with Salda and followed Lance out.
"Your Highness, actually, you don't need to reject her conditions so quickly. Maybe we can really use her to bring down Karl."
Leng Ling slowly lowered his eyes, and the thin mist filled his black eyes, "It is not our ultimate goal to bring down Karl. Even if Karl steps down, his successor will definitely follow his wishes. In this way, the relationship between the two countries will be
The war between the two countries will still continue, and Lanson will never be able to wait for true peace."
"Then Your Highness, what you wish for is..."
Leng Ling raised his head and said in a firm and powerful voice, "What I hope is eternal peace."
"Eternal peace..."
After thinking about these words in a low voice, Sharda looked sideways out of the window, her gray eyes gradually becoming blurry.
"Your Highness, I'm going back first."
He stood up and left the conference room at Leng Ling's signal.
When I was young, I had great ambitions and hoped to do my best to contribute to the country.
Until I met that person, the person who attracted me deeply, my destiny changed drastically.
That kind of forbidden love shouldn't appear in oneself, but it just happened to be such a coincidence. That kind of unspeakable love is like moss that never sees light all year round, growing in a dark and humid place, growing wildly until it is uncontrollable.
It was hard to say it out loud, and the other party accepted it readily.
At that time, I felt like I was floating in heaven, everything was so beautiful, even the boring life in the military camp, I felt sweeter than ever before.
On a starry night, the two embraced each other and planned a beautiful future together after the war.
But the disaster that followed completely shattered his dream. For the sake of the ulterior secret research, he took the risk to experiment, but he volunteered to become the experimental subject, and received the bad news that he was indeed dead.
When he closed his eyes, he could still clearly see those beautiful blue eyes looking at him with a faint smile.
But I know that that person will never come back.
Those happy moments and sweet times are extremely precious, and they wither like the night-blooming cereus.
The pain and obscurity of losing a loved one made my whole heart break, like a sharp knife cutting through my heart, the pain was excruciating.
I originally thought that everything was due to the adverse reactions of the drugs that led to such results. I just felt regretful and wanted to die with him.
And when she found out the truth, Sharda realized that all of this was deliberately arranged by others. From the beginning to the end, she was under the supervision of others, walking step by step according to their settings. And that person was
his own father.
How stupid and naive is this kind of self?
No matter what he did, that man would never come back, but Sharda knew that no matter what method he used, he would avenge him, and those who killed him would be buried with him.
Her father died of old age, and no one in the family related to that incident survived, but Sharda's heart could never be filled with the pleasure of revenge.
As time went by, the hole became bigger and bigger, swallowing his sanity endlessly like a black hole.
Now, he only has the idea of revenge in his mind, and he must use any available people and objects to complete his revenge plan.
These people in Kessel must die, just like they did twenty years ago.
