Section two hundred and fifth position
Section 205 Position
Ashu Rufate was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Maybe it was because I felt it was not good to light the candles all the time - because people outside could see the lights inside through the window, so Rotia blew out the candles.
"You have been trying to change that little girl." After a long time, Rotia spoke first.
"Well, that's my promise." Ashrufat replied. He has finally confirmed one thing, one very important thing, that is, although Rotia was introduced to the past, Rotia's position has stood with the little girl, and he is very firmly standing together. Could it be that he has been together for a long time, so he has developed a special relationship? Or is it that women and women always have more common language?
"What kind of promise? Let her learn how to be a queen?"
“I guessed it right.”
"Hmph, I knew you were such a man. It was so awkward!" Rotia snorted. "It was obvious that I wanted to educate that little girl like that, but I really became that way, but you were unhappy again."
"People are always contradictory. Besides, if she becomes a real queen, then wouldn't I just succeed and retire?"
"Luckily you don't have to be in conflict. That little girl has not changed at all. She is still as innocent as I saw it for the first time." Rotia sighed. "I'm afraid she will never be what you want her to be." She said quietly in the dark.
Rhodya might feel that it was dark everywhere. Her expressions and movements at this moment would not be seen by anyone, but Ashu Rufate had the ability to see a needle in any darkness. So he could clearly see the expression of the woman in front of him. Perhaps at this moment, the expressions in the darkness truly expressed the inner heart of this woman.
"What did you mean by 'retiring after success'? Do you want to leave?"
"That's not appropriate..."
"Hmph, don't hide it from me. Don't look at me as an ordinary woman, but I feel very sensitive. You are not an ordinary person."
"Oh, then who am I?"
"What I want to say is... adventurer," said Rotia. "Yes, adventurer. But it's not the kind of person who wants to make a fortune and choose this business, but because you are naturally like this. You want to be stimulated and satisfied through adventure." She thought for a while, and felt that the metaphor was not very appropriate, but she couldn't say anything wrong for a moment. "In a sense, you and Ajin on your arm are the same kind of person, but they just have different directions."
"Haha..." Ashu Rufate just laughed twice, not admitting or denying it.
"Can you tell me what you want to do for your friend's sake?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Tell you something, your two wives and that aunt have recently become the most active figure in the Hawk City." Rotia suddenly changed the topic. "I'm talking about the noble social circle."
"This is normal." Ashu Rufat remembered Aunt Mary. He had vaguely heard about Aunt Mary's past, and also knew that Aunt Mary was not that simple person. Entering the social circle of the upper class was no problem for the old woman.
"She is very good at creating momentum," said Rotia. "She has spread your marital status...and the people in the city have at least accepted her indoctrination concept on the surface. She has worked hard to create an atmosphere and put a layer of shackles on you."
While speaking, Rotia shook her head. "Although it's a very smart way, as a woman, she is still too naive. No, too stupid."
It is hard to describe Rotia's expression at this moment, and she let out a faint sigh. "Although the old woman is nearly three times my age, when it comes to understanding men, she is probably far from me."
Ashu Rufate recalled the previous rumors about Aunt Mary. It is said that Aunt Mary was also a romantic widow when she was young. However, in this regard, Rotia was once a prostitute. In a sense, the experiences of the two were a bit similar. In fact, from Ashu Rufate's personal feelings, both women gave people a feeling of seeing through the world. But Rotia gave him a much stronger feeling than Aunt Mary.
"She probably thought that if you wanted to give up this engagement, you would be criticized by the public." Rotia said. "Although it was just a small shackle, it was better to have it than not. That old woman probably thought so much. It was such a stupid idea - no wonder she had to change men so many times when she was young."
Her tone was filled with extreme contempt for Aunt Mary. No need for anything else. With these words alone, Ashu Rufat was sure that she had met Aunt Mary. Of course, Rotia herself must have no interaction with Aunt Mary, so the correct answer should be that the little girl had already met Aunt Mary with Rotia's company. And it seems that Rotia and the little girl suffered a little loss during that meeting, at least the original plan did not succeed.
"Didn't the public opinion targeting me affect them this time?"
"We Prime Minister Elin made a statement." When Rotia said the name "Ailin", his face was full of disgust. "That old man might have owed the old woman in your family, so he actually made a public opinion on this matter. With his statement, the old woman and your fiancée were almost completely affected in the Hawk City. Even Shirley continued to serve as the interim Chancellor of the Chancellor. Many people who covet that position had to wait patiently due to the influence of Prime Minister Elin."
"So Aunt Mary... has this trick?"
"But no matter what you want to do, you have to be careful of that old woman. She is a master of lying."
"Hey, as long as I agree with this engagement, she will be my elder. And my two fiancées are also her heirs. In other words, I am her heir. What can she do to me? What benefits can she get?" Ashu Rufate felt a little strange. Aunt Mary still admitted and took in his person when he lost his memory and had nothing. Ashu Rufate was sure that she would not be detrimental to him.
"The eyes of men never see the dangers around them." Rotia said softly, then she raised her voice. "Anyway, that old woman is very good at lying, she is the kind of person who looks at people and talks to ghosts. Just remember not to believe anything she says."
"What is the evidence?" Ashu Rufate became more and more strange. In his impression, Rortiya had no reason to be so hostile to Aunt Mary.
"Women's intuition." Rotia's voice mixed with three points of anger. "If you don't believe it, forget it!"
"Okay, okay." Ashu Rufate took the initiative to announce his consent on this topic. "In short, you come to me this time and you will not simply come and talk to me. What do you want to do!"
"Let you find a way to hide it!" said Rotia. "The public opinion in Eagle Falcon City is not good for you, but it will have to wait for you to come back before it breaks out. You can hide your name and put on makeup and delay it for these days. When General Berel arrives Eagle Falcon City, you will come out again. Let our Queen... pretend not to know anything so that you can become the commander of the coalition. By then, the nobility is done. Even if the public opinion is not good for you, they will have to wait for you to come back after the war. Thanks to your Aunt Mary, at least you have certain supporters in the aristocratic circle, and it should not be difficult to get through this level."
"As for the issue of war... I don't know why, that little girl is very confident in you." Rotia said. "But although General Berel is the first general in the contemporary era, he has had the experience of serving as deputy general many times. I would like to remind you that when General Berel was the deputy general, he suffered defeat several times, but every time it was because the main general did not listen to General Berel's opinions. Every time General Berel's strategy was proven to be correct. As long as you listen to his opinions more, there must be something right."
"She is taking risks." Ashu Rufate commented.
"The risk for the beloved man." Rotia retorted without hesitation.
“That’s just…”
"That's just the fantasy of a twelve-year-old girl?" Before Ash Rufate finished speaking, Rotia took it. "Come on, don't deceive yourself. Women like me may not have other abilities, but in this regard, they have 100% confidence in my eyesight. First of all, she will not always be twelve years old. She is already thirteen years old, the day after tomorrow it will be her thirteenth birthday. Do you know what thirteen means? It's indeed a little early to get married at the age of thirteen, but in another year, she will be fourteen years old. It's not rare for a girl to get married at the age of fourteen. As for fifteen years old... that's a recognized legal marriage age, and no one can pick on it."
"As for fantasy," said Rotia, "you should know what I do. I have seen a hundred times more men and women than you. Do you think I can't tell what a temporary passion is and what is real love? Maybe some fools can't see the difference between the two, but for me, there is a very simple way to distinguish between the two, that is time. Exaggerated fantasy can't last for a few days, but think carefully about how long our little queen... has maintained passion for you? You can say that this relationship is very young, you can say that this relationship is not very rational, but you can't deny this relationship itself!"
"Why do I think... it was a mistake to recommend you to guide her?" Ashu Rufate couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I think this is one of the most correct things you have ever done." Rotia snorted. "Did you think you can do so many arrangements without me helping the little girl out of the way?"
"So can you tell me why you want to...who is this little girl supported? Is this a good thing for you?"
"There is no special reason, something to say," Rotia finally spoke after a long silent period. "I can only answer you. The more I am, the more I know the value of this kind of relationship."
