Chapter 24: Obsession

As soon as Angelina saw Ethan coming back, she jumped down, regardless of the scary head.

"No one bullied me. It was you who came back late and scared me to death!"

"I'm sorry for making you worry!" Ethan said with a bitter smile: "I should have come back long ago. Although the Angus knight had a strong tone, he was pitiful for his little ability. I killed him with one sword.

But when it was about to be beheaded, something unexpected happened, which delayed a lot of time, so I came back late!

Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, do you want to kick this head as a ball? "

"No!" Angelina couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you have to be so serious? You still have to bring your head back just to ask me if you want to play football?"

"Of course it's necessary!" Ethan replied seriously: "If you don't keep your word the first time, you probably won't believe me in the future.

Of course, if you don't like it, you can skip these forms.

To be honest, it is not easy to bring my head back. "

"Throw it away. If there is a next time, don't come back with the lead." Angelina also said seriously.

"Don't throw it away!" Ethan said as he pulled Angelina towards the manor: "It's not easy to bring it back, this ceremony must be completed.

According to my previous promise, if you don't want to kick him, I have to throw him into the sewer. "

So Ethan picked up the head and took Angelina around the manor to find a suitable place to discard it.

It's just a pity that the so-called sewers in this world are all laid out on the road. They are more appropriately called drainage ditches.

Obviously it's not very hygienic to leave it on the road.

In the end, Ethan had no choice but to throw the head into the cesspit.

After finally completing the ceremony, Ethan clapped his hands and went back to the room to take a shower.

Angelina insisted on washing together, but Ethan couldn't resist her, so he could only agree, and the two of them struggled again.

By the time I got out of the shower, it was almost late at night.

But the entire Lawson Manor was brightly lit, and none of the servants dared to rest.

Because they knew that two people had not had dinner yet.

When Ethan led Angelina to the restaurant, all the servants were waiting in line.

When the owner comes in, the chair is pulled out, the dishes are served, all the affairs are carried out silently, busy but not hectic, and in an orderly manner.

Because they had consumed a lot of energy when taking a shower just now, both of them were very hungry, so they felt that this dinner was particularly delicious.

After the meal, Ethan asked Angelina to go back to the room first, and because Sophia summoned him, he had to go to Sophia's study.

"Kekeke!" Ethan arrived and knocked on the door gently a few times.

"Come in!"

Ethan pushed the door open and found Sophia wearing a sexy suspender pajamas, sitting on the long-backed chair behind the desk, reading a book leisurely.

Ethan frowned, then looked at a red carpet next to the desk, hesitated for a while, then walked into the room and closed the door.

"You're looking for me?"

Ethan purposely found a chair away from the red carpet and sat down, maintaining a posture where he could draw his sword at all times.

Sophia saw everything, but pretended she couldn't see it. She put down the book, faced Ethan, and said with a smile:

"I awakened to the Force overnight, and my mastery has reached an exaggerated level. Ethan, you really surprised me."

"There's nothing surprising! I don't feel anything myself, so why should you surprise me?"

Ethan really couldn't stand listening to Sophia, and this condescending way of speaking poured cold water on her.

After hearing this, Sophia was stunned for a moment, but she immediately changed into a sweet smile.

“I’m so sorry, I forgot that you don’t like the way I talk.

But please understand, after all, the way you speak is used to it, but unlike the servant's attitude, you can change it just by asking. "

When Ethan heard that Sophia was so accommodating to him, he was not only unhappy, but also shuddered.

For a moment, he felt as if he had become the Angus knight. He began to be self-righteous, arrogant and domineering, and disdainful of those in power.

Angus dares to be disrespectful to his master, which is somewhat reasonable. After all, he understands the overall situation and has enough chips.

But he was disrespectful to the superiors. Apart from some bargaining chips, he knew nothing about Sophia's strength.

As for the other party's continued tolerance of him, in addition to the factors of interests, there must also be factors of strength.

She doesn't mind showing weakness in front of herself, which shows that she is very confident in her own strength, and this confidence has reached the point of ignoring anyone.

It may be too much to ignore anyone, but at least you can ignore yourself.

Thinking of this, Ethan sat up straight and tried to be respectful. He didn't want to anger Sophia anymore.

"I'm also sorry for always being hostile to you. I also forgot that you and I are allies on the same front!"

Seeing Ethan's sudden change of attitude, Sophia smiled even more happily.

"I'm glad you can say such things. However, I still want to criticize you. You are really out of line today and have brought huge trouble to our family and me, your loyal admirer."

Having said this, Sophia stood up, slowly walked to Ethan and sat down, and said: "Although the way you handled things today opened my eyes, I don't understand why you did this.

The Duke Knights are just enforcing the law to prevent you from insulting the corpse, but you insist on bringing the head back.

For this reason, you challenged anyone who tried to stop you, and even killed three members of the Knights, forcing no one in the Knights to accept the duel, and no one dared to stop you.

Your behavior has far exceeded the need to establish your authority.

It looks more like an obsession, a morbid obsession.

Can you tell me why?

Of course, this is just my personal curiosity.

You don't have to tell me, but please tell me the reason for my trouble, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep. "

"There's no special reason." Ethan smiled awkwardly: "I'm afraid you don't believe it, because this reason is ridiculous.

I promised your sister that if anyone dares to bully her again or say bad things about her in public, I will twist that person's head off and let her kick it like a ball. "

After hearing this, Sophia's pupils shrank rapidly, as if she was greatly frightened, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Finally, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It seems that my sister has found a good man!

Okay, now that we have finished talking about irrelevant things, it is time to talk about business.

Since you have awakened the Force, the Force Slate is useless. Please return it to me. ”

“It is in my room. You can send someone to get it at any time.”

“Okay!” Sophia pursed her lips: “There is one more thing. I originally gave you three days to awaken the Force. Since you have awakened in advance, you can set off tomorrow!

There is a merchant ship in the port of Velen, which has been ready for a long time and is waiting for you.

Please don’t tell me that you refuse to go. ”

“Of course! I won’t refuse.” Ethan said happily: “I am very happy to go. However, where is Lili, the one I asked for?

Also, I want to take my fiancée away.

Even if I die, I will not let her become a trading tool of the family again, because she is my Ethan’s woman!”

“No problem!” Sophia smiled from the bottom of her heart: “I am not worried that you will die at all now. You can take my sister away as long as she agrees. And that Lili is already waiting for you on the boat, you can see her when you go there.

However, you'd better be mentally prepared, she doesn't seem to want to leave Maro City. ”

“I will handle it myself, thank you for your reminder!”
