"Do you think the current situation of the City Guard is because they are fighting among themselves?" Wayne asked.
"Otherwise what's the reason?"
It was not like Chris had not heard the news about Bulwer's accident while she was in the academy.
However, outsiders do not know so much inside information after all, and can only rely on guesswork to determine the truth. In fact, the internal fighting is real, but the people behind this incident may not necessarily be people within the city guard.
"Didn't Bulwer's affairs be temporarily handed over to Mr. Simon? I heard that he is quite active... Don't worry, the murderer will definitely not be able to escape." Wayne said.
"Hey, how can I not be active?" Chris complained casually, "Now he can only keep mobilizing manpower and material resources to show that he is performing his duties well, just to show off."
"Huh-huh? He's mobilizing manpower?" Wayne said in surprise.
Before being imprisoned, Bulwer had clearly mobilized the capital's defense once. Logically speaking, as the new successor, shouldn't Simon continue to follow the previous arrangement in the short term to avoid bigger mistakes?
"Yes, he said he was strengthening patrols and other precautions, which made many middle-level people in the city guard dissatisfied. Many people in the academy scolded him."
Chris sat on the other side of the sofa, still not satisfied, so she crossed her legs and put them on Wayne.
"However, it is understandable. How can he show his majesty as a newly arrived commander without going through a lot of trouble? Isn't the acting commander-in-chief also a commander?"
As she said that, she looked at Wayne with a somewhat narrow look, "Are you right? Acting President."
Wayne put his hand on her leg calmly and sighed falsely.
"Alas... I, as acting president, have only a false name and don't even have any benefits. How can I be compared with the ministers of the kingdom?" He looked very disappointed.
"Well, what other benefits do you want?"
I don’t know if Chris really didn’t understand what he meant.
Wayne didn't answer, but moved his hand up secretly.
"Hey!" Before he had time to feel the tenderness of his skin, he was kicked hard by her.
After being glared at by her hatefully, Wayne finally laughed.
"Chris, why don't we play cards, and the loser agrees to a request from the other party," he encouraged.
Wayne was convinced that she would agree.
In fact, Chris was indeed tempted again.
"Then don't go back on your word then!" she said plausibly, "The one who goes back on his word is a puppy."
Hey, I should be the one to say this to you.
Without saying a word, Wayne took the cards out of her bedside table.
"Come on! Let's show it off!"
Sitting on both sides of the sofa chair, the two of them focused all their attention on the card game.
However, before Chris could play her first card, Wayne couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Wait for me, I'll close the door first."
He happily ran over and locked the door, then ran back happily.
Chrissy:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
Chrissy, who was watching his every move the whole time, couldn't help but look panicked: "You..."
"Ah, this is so that our duel will not be interrupted by others!" Wayne said righteously, "Let's get started."
After a stalemate for a while, Chris finally gave up the struggle.
She turned her shame and anger into the strength of her fight, and fought extremely ferociously. Wayne felt the pressure for the first time in his life.
"As for..." Wayne racked his brains to deal with it, while using words to interfere with her judgment.
"Chris, actually, as long as you are willing to give in just a little bit, I will agree to whatever you want to do, right?" He induced, "It doesn't matter even if you lose at cards."
"Hmph, I won't lose!"
With a fierce look in her eyes, she stared at the dwindling number of cards in her hand.
Seeing that she was completely unswayed, Wayne couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Speaking of which...what exactly do you want me to do?"
Hearing this question, Chris was a little nervous: "You will know when the time comes."
etc……
Wayne had a bad feeling.
Could it be that she wants me to dress up as a woman again?
Under the threat of the worst expected situation, Wayne's situation changed and he actually turned the situation around with the last card left and turned defeat into victory.
After staring at the tragic scene in stunned silence for a while, Chris pursed her lips.
"You are basically lying to me!" she complained angrily.
"Eh? When did I lie to you?" Wayne's eyes narrowed with laughter, "Are you willing to admit defeat? The one who regrets it is a puppy."
"You, you clearly deliberately made me feel like I had a chance to win."
Chrissy was unwilling to accept the rapid deterioration of the war situation in front of her.
With the outcome decided, Wayne brushed aside all the cards between the two of them and approached Chris.
"Fool, if you want anything, just tell me..."
Holding the girl in his arms, he gently kissed her ear. "You don't have a 'chance to win', you just...have won now."
…
At the same time, there is another prison.
Chapman has been here a long time.
There are dedicated chefs here to take care of the meals, servants to clean the house, and even trusted subordinates who come to visit every few days.
Apart from being imprisoned in name, his treatment can be said to be very, very generous.
Logically speaking, he should be grateful to His Majesty the King for treating him so well.
However, now he only felt pain and suffering in his heart.
In order to gain the so-called "power", he had to sacrifice many things, which he understood at a very young age.
At that time, his father died unexpectedly, and he was still young and not able to take care of family affairs.
It may be said that relatives and friends are all pampered nobles, but once faced with huge interests, those guys turned into beasts that only smell the smell of blood. If you don't tear off a piece of flesh from your body, it seems that you will suffer a big loss.
During the most difficult time, only that cousin took me in.
He still remembered the way his cousin, whose family was clearly not well-off, shared food that he was reluctant to eat.
Both aggrieved and sensible.
However, Chapman believed that this family also took a fancy to the interests behind him, but they just changed sides.
Therefore, he was very at ease with his unfriendly attitude towards him back then.
——Anyway, I will repay you after I get through this difficult time.
That's what he thought and did at the time.
However, when he successfully obtained the property he was supposed to inherit and wanted to give them a large sum of money in return, he was rejected.
Chapman would have been furious.
He thought the family had too much appetite and wanted to use it to blackmail him.
In a fit of anger, he really stopped interacting with the other party, wanting to see how long they could last.
only……
Why did it end up like this at the last moment?
