Seeing the annoying witch walk out of the room, the sorceress put down her guard. The woman walked up to Ryan, raised her head, and her beautiful silver eyes reflected the man through her butterfly-patterned glasses: "Lyan?
Thank you. I have caused you a lot of trouble during this time, right? I apologize to you here."
"It's not bad." Ryan showed a smile, and he reached out and patted Teresa on the shoulder: "It's not ideal, and it's not too sad. Considering this is your first time to go on an adventure, I will give you a
A passing grade.”
"Is it just a passing grade? Then... what about this?" The small hands wearing white lace gloves hugged the man's neck.
The thin cherry lips separated from the man's lips at the first touch, leaving only a faint scent of lavender.
"Lian, don't forget me. We will meet again soon, I'm sure." The light of the teleportation array flashed, and only Ryan was left in the room. The man smiled helplessly, saying no from his expression.
Tell him how he feels.
The door to the room opened, and the crisp sound of high heels came to Ryan's side. His tone was full of sourness and sarcasm: "That bitch kissed you?"
"Gently, just like that." Ryan stretched out his index finger and thumb and made a small distance.
Before the man could finish his action, a pair of small hands wearing black lace gloves hugged his neck again, and almost reflexively, Ryan also hugged the man.
This time it wasn't split at the first touch. This time it lasted for more than two minutes.
"Don't Trovik know that I am your partner?" Veronica panted slightly. The witch leaned on the man's chest and hugged him tightly: "Obviously I was here first!"
"Haha~ I don't know why she likes me." Ryan hugged the woman in his arms: "We are just partners, don't mess around! I am very pure."
"Just you? Pure? Stop teasing me Ryan."
Yes, there is a very important reason why Ryan did not agree to Theresa becoming a partner.
That is the Garland congresswoman in front of her, 25-year-old Veronica Bernadotte, who is Ryan's real partner, and has been a partner for many years.
Veronica Bernadotte, the strongest female spellcaster of the younger generation of the Gloria Council, a witch of fire and light, and the owner of the Order of Violet, has been extremely active in many battles.
Unlike Teresa, the Gloria Congresswoman does not have a prominent background or a strong bloodline from her parents. She is able to get to where she is today because she stood out among the wizard apprentices and was recognized by Margaretta, the Speaker of the Gloria Parliament.
She was accepted as a disciple, but the Speaker had a carefree attitude towards his disciple and ignored her except for teaching magic.
Ryan met Dietlind when he went to Sky Castle to deliver a task to Dietlind. The two had a fight without knowing what happened. Ryan's strong strength and physique left a deep impression on Veronica.
So the witch secretly became a partner with Ryan.
In order to make a fortune in silence, Veronica never announced that she and Ryan were partners. Only a very small number of people knew about the relationship between the two, but of course this included Teresa's mother Aurora.
Lovick, so when Ryan learned that his partner was not Veronica but Teresa, he felt a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it.
"Hmph! Elder Aurora knew about our relationship, but when Archbishop Innocent found us, Aurora recommended her daughter instead of me!!!" Veronica said with hatred.
It made her teeth itch. It took her quite some time to find out about this.
I see.
"Of course we in Jialan know what it means to be a legendary noble in his early twenties. Ms. Aurora is using the public for personal gain!" Veronica is still very dissatisfied with this matter. Ryan has risen too quickly.
, it was too late for the Gloria Council to react in time, especially now that Ryan has become a human hero who defeated the barbarians. His legendary deeds of fighting back thousands of barbarian armies by himself after Marcus, the Holy Grail Knight, have spread throughout the continent.
Out of an instinct to "protect food", Veronica immediately seized the opportunity to change shifts, but the witch had already deeply resented Teresa, and this was the scene where the two became angry.
"Teresa didn't know much about our relationship, and she asked me if I wanted to become her partner." Ryan walked outside, and Veronica took the man's hand from behind and followed immediately: "
The eldest lady who knows how to stay in her room all day must not know much about the outside world, and Elder Aurora will not take the initiative to tell her."
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is difficult to avoid fighting for power within any organization. Ryan couldn't say anything about this, so the man tried to change the topic: "I have a new place to live, do you want to live with me?"
"Then it depends on where you live? If it's not good enough, I won't live with you!" Returning to Ryan's side, she drove away the annoying flies, and Veronica's sweet face was full of smiles: "
Or would you like me to arrange a maid's room for you in the mansion?"
"You just came up with this stupid arrangement?" Ryan said a curse word with a smile, and then said: "Are you satisfied with being on Amber Avenue?"
"Oh! This is great, I love it, and..."
"besides……?"
"Ryan, you have become so powerful that I almost don't recognize you anymore."
"...But you are still the same person I am familiar with, Veronica." Ryan smiled casually.
After hearing what she wanted, the smile on the witch's face was like a rose blooming in summer.
The two of them walked around the commercial street and bought a lot of things. The geographical location of Marienburg determined that it didn't get dark so fast, but after the two of them had bought a lot of things, they returned to Amber Avenue 50.
After the 3rd, it was already dark.
"Oh! This is great!" Veronica walked into the house. It was magnificently decorated, with sandalwood furniture and carpets on the exquisite wooden floors. It was obvious that after cleaning it, Mueller also sent
People sent many daily necessities.
The large living room is large enough to accommodate a large number of guests, and all the furniture is available. The long table in the dining room is filled with silver tableware. Veronica happily looked at the entire first floor before returning to Ryan's room.
Side: "Tell me Ryan, have you caught the tainted evidence of the Archduke of Marienburg? Otherwise, why would he give this house to you?"
"I can't explain the reason clearly. In short, as long as you are satisfied." Ryan thought to himself that the person who followed him at noon was Teresa, and now she has become Veronica. It feels like a world away, man
The requirements for where to live are not that high, but it is good to live well.
Following the wooden stairs, the two people walked up to the second floor. Veronica pushed open the master room very naturally, then began to place her things in the room, put clothes in the closet, opened the curtains, and
The magic lamp lights up.
She already considers herself the hostess here, right?
"What are you still doing? Putting things away? Then we can go to the balcony on the third floor to enjoy the breeze in the evening, or... you can stay on the second floor if you want." The witch stood in the bedroom, letting the oncoming sea breeze blow.
Blowing her long hair and dress.
Different from Teresa's coolness, Veronica gives people a bright feeling. This woman's beauty is like a rose blooming in summer, beautiful, bright, but thorny.
Veronica is a wizard apprentice who has stood out from intrigues and fights on her own. In some ways, she is much scarier than Theresa, who has grown up smoothly. Ryan has seen her methods. This woman is very important to the atmosphere.
The grasp of the situation is far beyond ordinary people.
Looking out of the window, the lighthouse in the distance provides direction for ships at night. Ships from all over the world are constantly coming in and out of the dotted ports. This is Marienburg. Four hours a day, this city exudes vitality.
and charm, attracting creatures from all over the world.
"We will be living here during this period. Remember, don't use magic or alchemy at home." Ryan raised his hand first, and the man took the trouble to emphasize: "If you don't like living here, you can move back.
Go to the mansion."
"I promise you, that's all." The witch turned around, looking aggrieved: "We haven't seen each other for several months, and you're telling me this? You subconsciously think I'm troublesome, right?"
Pretend! You continue to pretend! Ryan didn't answer Veronica's words at all: "If you like, live here. We will attend the banquet of Grand Duke Schulz of Marienburg tomorrow. If nothing else happens, we will be there at the banquet."
We met our target this time, Anida Klausner, the president of the Aesthetic Society."
"A very beautiful woman." Veronica was sitting on the soft sofa in the bedroom. The woman lazily motioned for Ryan to sit next to him: "She has never found a husband. Although all kinds of men in the city have tried to pursue her,
All failed, and even many nobles were obsessed with her beauty and wanted to kiss her."
"This is normal. Beautiful women are always pleasing to the eye. This time I acted with Teresa. Although I was not satisfied with some aspects of her, she unexpectedly made people feel acceptable. So I always feel that your attitude towards her is a bit...
…”
Before Ryan could finish his words, Veronica grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it towards Ryan's face.
The White Wolf Knight immediately reached out to catch it: "I'm not wrong."
"That's enough Ryan, I don't want to tell you this. Trovik's conditions are much better than mine. She has an excellent family background and strong bloodline. Have you seen the two wizard towers outside? As long as Ms. Aurora
Nodding, she can transport carts of gold from their family's vault to build construction at any time, but what about me? I only have you, Ryan." The witch's tone became softer, and she stretched out her hands towards Ryan,
She motioned for him to hug her.
Ryan sighed inwardly. Although his partner's words were an act, it was a fact that she was not as good as Teresa in terms of conditions and blood. In order to be able to get ahead in the Garland Council over the years, she did not know how much she had to pay.
It wasn't until she became a legendary wizard under Ryan's watch more than two years ago that she relaxed a little.
In this case, the Garland Council asked Teresa to replace her, which undoubtedly stung her sensitive nerves, and the only person this woman could trust and complain to was Ryan, just like she knew Ryan
, Ryan also understands her.
Through the long silk skirt, Ryan held this woman in his arms: "You are too tired to live."
"You don't need to say such things to me. You also have ambitions, and your ambitions are bigger than mine." Veronica didn't accept the favor. The woman just stretched out her little hand wrapped in black lace and touched the man's handsome forehead.
Face: "Don't lie to me, you can't lie to me."
"Everyone has responsibilities and missions. This is my destiny." Ryan said softly: "The short-term goal is to catch the fallen hunter hiding in Marienburg..."
"Yes, but that's not the point now."
"Then what's the point?"
His mouth was blocked by two soft pieces.
…(below omitted)…
The next day, it was bright and clear.
In the early morning, the cold sea breeze blew into the room on the second floor. Ryan woke up from his dream. The fireplace was still burning and sparks were flying. He touched his side and found that Veronica was not beside him.
"Ouch~" She raised her head and clicked. The witch of Gloria had already changed into a pink rose crocheted skirt. Her jewelry had been replaced by pearl earrings and an emerald necklace. The neckline of the long skirt was covered by the woman's proud tall figure.
Hold up high.
The length of the skirt is about fifteen centimeters above the knee. A pair of slender black stockings are being admired by the man. The woman is wearing a pair of red strap high heels today. Unlike Teresa who doesn't like to wear stockings, Veronica is a woman with stockings.
She never leaves her body. Part of the reason for this comes from her independent character and the sense of distance she creates in front of others.
As for another reason, Ryan thought it might have something to do with him.
The woman was leaning on the soft sofa and rubbing her waist. She was suffering from severe pain in her waist: "Are you happy enough? Get up and rub it for me. It's so sore."
"Hahahahaha!" Ryan kept laughing, with uncontrollable pride on his face. The man washed up and changed his clothes, then helped the witch rub her waist: "It's just a reunion after a long separation, don't be surprised, come on, I
help you."
"So I don't understand, what's so good about those demon hunters? Why do the members of the Council hang out with demon hunters all day long? Those demon hunters stink, and they deal with the creations of chaos all day long.
I don’t have any money either. Isn’t my partner a hundred times better than those demon hunters?” Looking at her partner, Veronica felt indescribably proud.
"Would you try to find a partner like this again?"
"So that's why I move so fast! Do you remember the first time we met? At that time, you were just a knight errant, and you came to Sky Castle alone to find Councilor Dietlind to deliver something, and as a result..." Veronie
Ka rubbed his sore waist while thinking about the past.
"It's certain that your friends can't find a partner of my level...Okay, I'm going to the Saint's Monastery in the morning and hand over Birig's head to the lady. Do you want to go with me?
"After rubbing it for a while, and seeing that it was almost done, Ryan asked.
"That's for sure. By the way, this house is too deserted with just the two of us. We can go to the slave market and see if we can buy some maids?" Veronica also stood up, with the help of the man.
Standing still, the woman put on her high heels with Ryan's help: "My apprentice named Catherine can also come here to be a maid."
"We'll talk about that later, but before I go out, I have to correct a mistake of yours." Ryan said seriously.
"What mistake?" Veronica had already thought of something, but she deliberately wanted the man to say it.
"This skirt is too short!"
"Hmm, stingy partner, let me tell you, do you think I like to wear this kind of skirt to go out? Who else can I wear it to at home?"
