Chapter 427 Audrey: Ms. Sharon, when Did You Fall in Love with Mr. Hastur?

"What do you think we should do now?"

Govington II threw the question to his newly formed core group of ministers.

Several ministers looked at each other for a while, and someone said boldly: "At such a critical moment, everything can only be stable. Since the appointment of Earl Hasta Campbell was to guard the coastal defense line from the beginning, he should be responsible for this matter."

"What if he chooses to join the Southern Continent and go to the opposite side of the kingdom because of what happened during this period?" A minister expressed his concerns about this proposal.

This is also the problem that Govington II is worried about. The Loen royal family and Earl Hasta Campbell are only about to tear the last face, and anything can happen.

"If he completely stands on the side of the Southern Continent, it may be a good thing, which means that he will be completely abandoned by the gods."

Hearing this, Govington II's eyes lit up. This statement is indeed very reliable. The so-called war is nothing more than the product of the gods dividing the benefits after the winners and losers.

If he can get the support of the Three Gods Church steadily, what is a Southern Continent that has just experienced war?

"Then let him take full responsibility for this matter." Govington II gave his final decision.

A minister said uneasily: "But if Earl Hasta Campbell successfully resists the invasion from the southern continent, his prestige will rise greatly, and it will not be so easy to deal with him in the future."

Govington II waved his hand and sneered: "As long as he is related to the death of the three Grand Dukes of Southwell, there is always a reason to deal with him!"

This is a righteous handle. As long as it is grasped, no matter how prestigious Hasta is in Southwell County, he can be regarded as a traitor!

...

Southwell County, Puning Port.

The warships sailing from the southern continent have appeared within the observable range of the coast of Southwell County, causing panic among the people in the coastal areas.

Hasta, who controls the coastal defense line of Southwell County, still has the leisure to tease Azshara lying on his thighs, and ordered Caius to decorate the villa here and the castle in the suburbs to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Sharon, who knew that the South Continent was preparing to launch a war, finally came out of the mirror. She stood at a distance from Hasta, looking at Hasta, who had no nervous expression on his face.

"Did you expect this?"

"Not entirely." Hasta looked back at Sharon and said calmly: "It was me who asked the South Continent to send dozens of warships to the coastal waters."

This is one of the means to counter the Loen royal family. As long as there is a possibility of war in the South Continent, whether the Loen royal family is willing or not, he is the best candidate to be responsible for this defensive war.

Any actions against him will be temporarily stopped, so that he can have a good year.

Next year is a good new start, and the Loen Kingdom can also change another king.

It is said that the son of Govington II, the oldest is only twelve years old, which is indeed a good choice.

Although he doesn't want to be Prime Minister Cao, sometimes, Cao thieves are always better than traitors who are shouted by everyone.

If the Church of the Three Gods chose to stand on the side of the Loen Royal Family when he was fighting with the Loen Royal Family, then he would not have any more concerns and would directly join the Southern Continent and let the Southern Continent declare war on the Loen Kingdom.

At most, it would be a war of gods. If he counted carefully, it would be quite easy to find the three true gods.

The True Creator, the Original Witch, and Gray Carrie. If that didn't work, he would use the Hall of Stars to attract a few former clones of the outer gods of the starry sky, which would be enough to deal with the descent of the true gods such as the Goddess of Night.

But this is the worst case scenario.

"Do you want to start a war too?" Sharon looked at Hasta deeply, as if she had just met Hasta again today.

Hastur sighed, stood up, let Azshara stay alone, walked to Sharon, and whispered: "I am more out of self-protection. Learn to protect yourself. This is the instinct of every creature."

"Just self-protection?"

"You can also protect other important people and things."

Hastur stared at Sharon's blue eyes, and the meaning was self-evident. Sharon just said lightly: "Miss Audrey?"

After saying that, without waiting for Hastur to say anything, she suddenly reacted and left with a slightly red cheek.

Such a sentence is simply jealousy.

Shy Sharon is so cute!

Hastur looked at Sharon's back as she left, and felt very comfortable.

Sure enough, playing some games to enhance feelings is still useful.

...

In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here.

South Wilshire is located on the seaside. Although it is winter now, it is not too cold here, and it is not like Backlund where it has already snowed heavily.

According to the news from Backlund, the temperature this year is several degrees lower than in previous years, and the heavy snow almost buried the entire Backlund.

In the northernmost Feysac Empire, the snow continued all day long, and the main roads and rivers were blocked by the snow. This forced the Loen army, which was about to push to the capital of the Feysac Empire, to withdraw and wait until the beginning of next spring to continue the attack.

"A New Year without heavy snow always feels like something is missing."

Audrey was standing in front of the window sill, pushing open the window and admiring the coastal scenery.

"Woof." Susie also echoed.

"This is the first time that I don't have to spend the New Year at Backlund's house. After becoming an adult, it is indeed a new beginning. Everything becomes different."

Audrey was muttering alone. It wasn't until Forsi knocked on the door that she put away her thoughts and walked to the door to open the door.

Forsi held a finger-thick manuscript in his hand, coughed slightly and said, "Miss Audrey, this new novel is my New Year's gift to you."

"Ms. Fors, I also have a New Year's gift for you."

Audrey invited Forsi and Xio, who was almost covered up, into the room, and then took out the New Year's gift she had already prepared, a set of earrings that looked valuable.

There is also a newly bought necklace, which is Xio's New Year's gift.

Xio presented her with a light white scarf that she hand-knitted.

"It's so beautiful." Audrey liked the gift from Xio very much. This kind of New Year's gift made by friends seemed to make the whole scarf full of life.

"As long as Miss Audrey likes it."

Xio touched her head in embarrassment. She chose to sew the scarf by herself. The most important reason was poverty.

She was too embarrassed to give ordinary gifts to Miss Audrey, and she couldn't afford expensive and unique gifts. Especially after playing the game of winning in life, she was not willing to mess with even just 1 penny. Flowers, I am really scared of poverty.

After agreeing to go to Hastur's place to celebrate the New Year together tonight, Forsi and Xio left first.

Audrey put away the book that Forsi sent and put it where Susie couldn't read it to avoid being peeked by Susie.

In response, Susie said in a faint tone: "Audrey, how can you guard against me like this?"

"No, Susie, I do it for your own good. You really can't read this kind of book."

"The book says that knowledge is neither good nor bad."

"The book should also say that when others clearly refuse, they should not make excessive demands."

"..."

Susie couldn't talk to Audrey, so she could only lie aside silently, looking forward to what New Year's gift Mr. Hastur would give her.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Audrey and others sat in a carriage and arrived at Hasta's villa.

Based on the last experience, after the New Year's dinner this time, Hasta did not play any games with them, but took them to the beach.

At night, scattered stars hang in the black sky, and fireworks that have been arranged on the beach are launched into the sky. The bright fireworks are reflected on the sea, colorful and dazzling.

The glorious view of the sea and the sky at the same time is even more breathtaking than exploding in the haze-filled air of Backlund.

The sea breeze at night carried the dampness and coldness from the sea. Hasta and others did not stay long. After the fireworks were set off, they returned to Hasta's villa.

When Xio proposed to continue playing the last winner's game in life, Audrey and Sharon fell silent. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Forsi hurriedly changed the subject.

"Will the warships from the Southern Continent really take advantage of our Chinese New Year to attack South Wales?"

"Maybe." Hastur did not give an accurate answer.

"It's so dangerous here. It's safer to stay in Backlund." Xio also realized at this time and hurriedly added.

Forsi hit her head hard, and she took a few steps back, covering her head with her hands in pain, with a pitiful and aggrieved look, which made Hastur and the others smile.

After the interlude, a few people sat on the open-air balcony on the second floor, overlooking the lively streets of Puning Port during the New Year, and looking up at the gradually brightening night sky.

Because today is the New Year, in order to celebrate, Audrey also drank some wine. Maybe she didn't drink much on weekdays. After a glass of wine, her cheeks became rosy, like her eyes made of gems. At this moment, she also There was a moment of confusion, shining brightly, like crushed moonlight.

But she still had a slight smile on her face, facing the direction of the sea, and whispered: "This life is so good."

Audrey, who was a little drunk, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were as bright as water, she held her chin with one hand and looked at Hasta, Forsi, and Xio who were drinking.

Sharon took a cup of sobering tea and came over, sat next to Audrey, and handed her the sobering tea in her hand.

"Thank you." Audrey smiled, took a sip of the sober tea, and suddenly leaned close to Sharon's ear, lowering her voice and asking: "When did Miss Sharon fall in love with Mr. Hastur?"
