Chapter 14

"Let's go, I've finished my business."

After saying that, Esdeath was about to take Bai Ye away.

"Well, where are we going next?"

Bai Ye asked immediately.

"I'll take you to get familiar with your future position first."

When leaving, Esdeath didn't even look at Arya next to him.

Although Esdeath didn't quite know why she felt unhappy.

In fact, it was because Esdeath hadn't gotten it yet at that time, and she didn't have the concept of love in her mind at all.

Later, she suddenly got it, and suddenly wanted to have a relationship.

And her future relationship requirements are five in total:

① Pay attention to the future, preferably aiming to become a general.

② Brave, dare to go hunting dangerous species with her even with bare hands.

③ Like her, he was born in the border area instead of the imperial capital.

④ Younger than her, because it's easier to control.

⑤ It's best to have a pure smile.

From Esdeath's perspective, Bai Ye just happens to meet these requirements.

The only flaw is the "pure smile". Bai Ye only smiled from the heart once in Giselle City. That smile alone touched Esdeath, but it was not love at first sight.

But Esdeath has no concept of love at present. It's just that in her perspective, Bai Ye coincidentally meets her future mate selection criteria.

So even if she has a good impression of Bai Ye now, she doesn't realize what this feeling is.

She only knows that she simply doesn't like the blonde girl.

However, for Arya, being ignored by General Esdeath is a relief.

She was really scared just now, and her little face is still pale now.

Seeing that General Esdeath didn't do anything to her but left directly, Arya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss... let's go quickly..."

At this time, the guard next to her reminded Arya in a low voice.

The voice of the guard was also trembling.

Who among them would not panic when seeing General Esdeath?

Arya nodded and quickly returned to the carriage.

At the same time, the appearance of Esdeath also attracted the attention of almost everyone around.

Esdeath is very popular in the imperial capital. Not only is she very beautiful, but her strength is also at the level of a general. At the same time, she is also the most people-friendly general in the entire empire, and she has a very good attitude towards ordinary people.

"That seems to be Miss Arya. I heard that her family is not normal. They like to deceive foreigners who have just arrived in the empire, and then lock them up and torture them after gaining their trust..."

"I have also heard this rumor. It seems that Miss Arya wants to deceive a young man again this time. It turns out that the young man is someone General Esdeath knows?"

"I guess so. The young man must not be an ordinary person. Judging from his calm attitude during the conversation, he does not seem to be General Esdeath's subordinate. The crazy nobleman almost got into trouble this time."

"..."

While the people around were talking enthusiastically, Arya's carriage had already dragged a lot of newly bought goods back home.

"Miss, we really almost offended a great person this time..."

The guards were still deeply afraid of the appearance of General Esdeath just now.

As guards, of course they also knew the perverted bad taste of the eldest lady, the master and the lady.

But they never dared to have any opinions about this. They just worked for money, and they didn't want to lose their jobs or even their lives because of the so-called "sense of justice".

The only one who had a conscience was the guard who had talked to Bai Ye before. He reminded Bai Ye indirectly, but didn't dare to remind him too obviously.

It was also this person in the original book. He took the opportunity to remind Tatsumi very obscurely during the conversation, but Tatsumi didn't notice it at all.

It was because they knew that the eldest lady had that kind of perverted taste that they were so scared.

If something really happened to the young man just now, they would definitely lose their lives. General Esdeath was notorious for his cruelty.

"He looked like he was from another place before, but I didn't expect that he actually knew that crazy woman..."

At this time, Arya's face was gloomy, and she was not so cute.

Anyway, Esdeath was not around, so it was okay for her to call her "crazy woman" in private.

Arya couldn't help but feel lucky that she hadn't started to attack Bai Ye yet, but she had just lost interest in torturing Bai Ye. Even if Esdeath didn't show up, she didn't plan to do anything to Bai Ye.

Anyway, this time it was a close call.

............

While walking on the road, Esdeath told Bai Ye about his next work.

"I have asked the minister, and there is no way for you to jump from an ordinary person to my deputy general. To put it bluntly, you lack merit."

Esdeath said: "But I guess you won't be happy if you are an ordinary soldier first, so after discussing with the minister, the minister finally decided to arrange you to the Imperial Capital Guard. There is a lack of a deputy captain there. You can start as the deputy captain of the Imperial Capital Guard. It is already very good to have this position at the beginning."

Even when she first came to the Imperial Capital, she was selected to become a formal soldier through various competitions with others.

Because the salary of soldiers is not low and the empire is in a period of corruption, it is impossible to support too many soldiers, so the threshold for joining the army has become more and more stringent in recent years.

In other words, Esdeath can make Bai Ye directly become a formal soldier, which is already a backdoor, not to mention the deputy captain of the Imperial Capital Guard, who has a much higher status than ordinary soldiers.

This job is safe and comfortable. You only need to patrol the imperial capital and don't need to go out to fight.

"It's really good, thank you."

Bai Ye can realize how hard it was for Esdeath to get this job for him.

"After all, this is also your first position. With your ability and potential, I believe you will soon get enough merits to be promoted to general."

Esdeath encouraged Bai Ye.

She hoped that Bai Ye could strive for the promotion to general.

"Well, I will work hard."

Bai Ye also wanted to see a more comprehensive imperial capital and even the entire empire.

If he could become a general, he would definitely see more comprehensively than a civilian.

Then he could know what he wanted to do in this world.

"But there is one thing I want to say first. Although you don't have to go on the expedition with me now, you are already my person. You can come to me if you have any problems. In addition, I don't want to see such things today again."

At this moment, Esdeath suddenly changed the subject.

And she pinched Bai Ye's chin with her hand and gently raised it, "Do you understand?"
