Chapter 456

"Well……"

It's just that: complaining is complaining, and now he has no idea how to delay and refuse.

Jupiter never wanted to accept Alicia's request from the beginning.

"Get promoted to an official position, reach the pinnacle of life, and even win the favor of Her Royal Highness, the little princess of the empire." - Even though Alicia is a "concubine", she may not be so popular among the imperial royal family - But for a person like him, who exists like a "little fish" regardless of whether he is in the original game or not, such an ending is already a great thing that makes him laugh out of his dreams.

Under normal circumstances, of course.

But, for Jupiter, it's just a dream.

Do you really want him to agree to it?

no.

He didn't want to feel sorry for Teacher Beilu and be a scumbag - he should obviously care about Teacher Beilu. As soon as his front foot left the magic tower, his back foot immediately hugged the little princess's thigh.

Alicia, the little princess of the empire—the C-position heroine in the story line of the great prince in the original game. Strictly speaking, they can be regarded as enemies of him and Beru-sensei!

Not to mention: even ignoring the existence of Teacher Beru, in order to prevent him from being the villain, Sylphy, and the vengeful little princess Alicia in front of him. Because of his "emotionally unstable" tears, something happened in the original game that threatened his and Beru-sensei's life in the academy...

Jupiter felt that he now had to be "even with a bowl of water".

He was worried about how to delay Miss Sylphy's "secret engagement". The little princess Alicia must be taking advantage of the "promotion" to make Alicia's "engagement contract" step by step. The thought of "converting" status to "candidate"...

He shouldn't pretend to be confused and agree, then come up empty-handed.

He just wanted to keep a reasonable and legitimate distance from these two "little ancestors", and he didn't want to be a scumbag.

It’s just that: hemming and hawing silence can’t solve any problems!

Especially when she didn't get the natural "response" she wanted to hear next. Alicia, who just a second ago was still a little unable to suppress the excitement hidden under her iceberg attitude, immediately seemed to think of Something like that...

For a moment, he showed a gloomy and troubled expression.

With an uncertain tone, he muttered words in a low voice that sent a chill down Jupiter's back.

"As expected...do you still want to remain in the Blacks family as Sylphy's servant..."

"Only accept Sylphy..."

This time, Jupiter really didn't know whether Alicia's "small thoughts" were "revenge" or "coquettishness"!

It's better to say that he didn't understand what Alicia was mumbling at all!

Only accept Miss Sylphy?

How can it be?

The only way to accept him is to accept Teacher Beilu, right?

He was thinking: Alicia doesn't have a "cowardly" character, so why is she treating Miss Sylphy?

In terms of attitude...

How could this little princess, who had no "disadvantage" at all from the perspective of a guest officer, behave in such a "humble" manner?

It also feels a bit "stealing" - similar to the idea of ​​poaching...

It seems that he has placed his identity behind Sylphy from the beginning?

It really confused him.

——

Today I was having dinner at a relative's house. To be honest, the person I was dining with was that naughty kid who touched my hand during the Chinese New Year.

I really don’t want to go at all.

338. Before you push, ask yourself, is it...right? (asking for votes-)

However, thinking about it, this little doubt in his heart was just a "mutter". When he came to his senses, he was already prepared for how to answer.

Jupiter shook his head and looked at the little princess Alicia in front of him with a serious expression.

Although I always feel that there are still some things in my heart that I "can't let go". But his answer to Alicia was not just for "perfunctory" purposes.

"No, Alicia, this has nothing to do with whether I want to stay in the Duke Blacks family or whether I want to be Miss Sylphy's servant forever."

"I also know very well how to choose my own future. The choice should be in my own hands."

Sensing that "The Great Prince" Feini's gaze seemed a little "confused", she glanced at him calmly, but when Jupiter looked at him again: after saying what needed to be said and making the request that needed to be done - Feini seemed to have "finished the mission" at this moment and was just drinking tea-

Jupiter shook his head and didn't think about it any more - he just thought that the feeling of being "suspected by "The Great Prince" Fini" just now was just an illusion because he was too nervous.

So, continue.

"For me: the same goes for you, my little princess, and the same goes for my Miss Sylphy. I am very grateful for your concern for me. But these arrangements are all things that need to be carefully considered for me -"

He glanced at the royal sisters in front of him and took a deep breath.

This was not the time for him to think about "whether he would commit suicide and offend the two male and female protagonists in the original game's story line."

You can't just be led around because you're afraid of offending the protagonists, right?

Then, the final word came.

"So, even if you say so, Alicia, and Feini agrees, she still allows me to think about it for a while - to be promoted to baron in the empire and take the path of "noble"..."

"Whether this should be a choice or not, I won't be able to give you a serious answer for a while."

At the same time, Jupiter also had some strange feelings in his heart: Why did he feel that answering like this... wasn't right?

Obviously, his current approach is no different from his current plan to treat the plot of the original game - it's not just that he has to try to stabilize his Miss Sylphy and the little princess Alicia in front of him for the sake of Teacher Beru. -Are these two "little ancestors"?

There was no answer in his mind for a while, and Jupiter also decided not to "talk more and make more mistakes". Seeing that neither Alicia nor Fini raised any "objections" in front of him, he quickly assumed that the sisters had "acquiesced". -

"Anyway, please let me think about it. No matter how I decide on this matter, I have to inform Duke Blacks."

After finding an excuse to leave, Jupiter didn't dare to stay any longer.

Apply oil to the soles of your feet and run fast.

Naturally, there was no time to notice: the reason why Alicia and Fini were silent just now was definitely not due to the inefficient idea of ​​"default".

But something else.

Or maybe it's because the two sisters seemed to have a telepathic connection and discovered something wrong with him, some...problem?

By the time Alicia calmed down from her confusion and shock, Jupiter had already disappeared in front of her.

However, what calmed down Alicia was only her body - she no longer continued to freeze everything around her -

There was an incredible storm in her heart for a moment!

Because: Alicia thinks that she is not a person who likes to admit defeat, and she has been longing for something for more than ten years. Even if there is only the slightest chance, she will definitely seize it and monopolize it.

But this does not mean that she lacks common sense and judgment: at least during this period of time, how could that person not care about Sylphy?

However: what the person said just now was very strange - thinking back carefully, she found out: it seems that that person has been like this since a few days ago?

why is that?

Although Alicia didn't want to admit it, she had to think: How could Jupiter "put Sylphy on the same level" as she just said?

this

...shouldn’t be.

Just as she was confused, Alicia suddenly heard her sister Wang's question directed at her.

"Sister-have you done anything to him during this time? Is there... any breakthrough in the relationship?"

Turning her head, she saw her sister Feini also looked suspicious. She was even more gloomy and doubtful than she let on.

She even felt a little scared and had goosebumps when she saw it!

Shaking his head subconsciously, he answered the truth.

"No...no, sister."

Then, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Sister, do you really think that his recent behavior is... a little abnormal?"

Silence fell, and Feeney did not respond immediately.

He just sat upright, playing with the golden curls on his temples, squinting his glasses in deep thought.

He glanced at Alicia, pursed his lips, and sighed.

He spoke.

"Alicia, when you guys were assisting him in completing his upgrade mission... did anything unusual happen?"

"Huh?"

The puzzled Alicia subconsciously recalled it, but shook her head in confusion: she really didn't expect anything worth paying attention to during the entire promotion mission at that time.

After all, everything went as smoothly as a few people prepared. As for the last, and most difficult, "Adventurer's Commission" that can only be completed by relying on Jupiter's special talent of colorless magic...

There was no trouble at all - Jupiter was very skillful in using all kinds of powers that were his talents, which was completely different from the rush in the magic class when he first entered the academy -

The last few people got the target magic stone and left the illusion created by the magic circle in the restricted area.

Then……

Well, then you go back to work, right?

Alicia's memory of that time was not that accurate - there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, after Jupiter completed the upgrade mission, everyone's tense heartstrings were relieved -

There was no special situation, so naturally I wouldn’t remember so clearly what happened after completing the task that day.

Anyway, by the time Alicia came to Lucalia Academy the next day, Jupiter had already been recognized by the principal as having the strength of fifth-level colorless magic.

Therefore, even if Sister Wang asks like this, she really can't give any useful information at this moment.

I could only shake my head and say, "I'm sorry, Sister Wang, I remember it was all smooth sailing at that time."

This answer obviously surprised Fini.

For a moment, he couldn't help but ponder: "Well - that's a bit strange."

It seems that in Feini's view, Jupiter's reactions just now must be "abnormal" and must not be an "illusion" of the two sisters.

It even seemed that she was already suspecting that something unexpected must have happened during Jupiter's promotion mission.

It's just that she didn't get a decent answer from her sister.

However, this seemed casual, but in fact, the silence and waiting that even made Alicia feel a little "tortured" did not last long -

Immediately, Fini returned to her usual smiling look. She didn't seem to make any dangerous assumptions, and she even had the heart to joke around with Alicia!

"Well - isn't that nice - sister?"

"Well?"

"No matter what the reason is, since he still values ​​you very much now, wouldn't it be an excellent opportunity for you to take action at this time, sister?"

"..."

Silence fell, and the thought of "seriously considering this" flashed across Alicia's eyes.

But it was only for a moment, and he immediately shook his head and refused as if he had just woken up from a dream!

"Wait...Sister Wang, what are you talking nonsense about? It's best if there's nothing wrong with him. For example, if there really is a problem with the Blacks family, I...I will definitely not sit idly by and watch!"

Feini nodded and asked seriously.

"Yeah! Sister, are you... a little humble?

Result: Alicia's little face immediately turned red as an apple, and even her words to explain her quibbles became stuttering!

"Hey, that's long! In short, we should continue to advance the matter of conferring titles, and we can't let him delay it by hesitating, Sister Wang!"

"Yes, yes - it depends on your urgency."

While waving her hands and watching her sister, who must have been "in love", leave, Fini said goodbye with a smile.

It's just that: just after Alicia left his magic tower, she looked at the water glass on the table that had not yet melted from the state of "a ball of ice" -

Feini's expression gradually became colder

Fade down.
