So, did Earl Chapman put aside his original dissatisfaction out of practical considerations?
He is really a person who puts interests first.
But yes, according to his current state of guilt, even if he refuses to let go, what can he do to Bulwer?
The real battleground was not between Chapman and Bulwer, but in His Majesty's heart.
When the answer to the king's inner preference is revealed, the outcome of this struggle is already determined.
"So, Bulwer will be cleared soon?" asked Vane.
In some ways, this is not a bad thing.
"Yes, it's just that the pursuit of dark magic may have to be much more intense." Elliot said.
Hearing this, Wayne twitched the corner of his mouth.
If the world knew that Bulwer was originally a mole who colluded with the master of dark magic, I don't know how they would react.
He has no confidence in these so-called "traces" at all.
Compared to the twists and turns of the struggle between forces, Chrissy on the side is obviously more concerned about the "magic of darkness" itself.
"Have you not found any information about the magic of darkness in all these years?" She couldn't help complaining. "They are too useless. Maybe Tasia will have to deal with this matter by herself in the future..."
Well...it's very possible.
Wayne mused.
"The expression of dark magic is different from that of regular magicians." Elliot said solemnly. "Especially, the skills related to concealing whereabouts and manipulating others are very weird."
Indeed, I have seen Norman use dark magic several times.
But soon, Elliot changed his tone.
"However - since the possessors of dark magic are often powerful, some people will be envious of such a guy."
After saying this, he looked at Chris seriously.
"But I hope you won't be envious."
"Magic is not everything in a person's life." The old father said sincerely.
"The truly precious thing in life is life itself... and the truly terrifying thing about dark magic is that it will make a person completely lose the ability to feel the beauty of life."
…
"I always feel that Tasia will face a lot of troubles in the future..."
Coming out of the study, Chris let out a long sigh.
"If it's Tasia, it should be able to be solved, right?" Wayne continued casually.
"Yeah, that's right." Chris nodded with deep sympathy.
Halfway through clicking, she seemed to suddenly realize something. She suddenly turned her head and stared at Wayne with a strange look.
"Wayne, you don't seem worried about Tasia at all," she said.
"..." If I act too worried, won't you start to get jealous again?
"Because Tasia is very reliable. And friends like us will help her, so I think even if she encounters difficulties, she will be able to get through it safely!" Wayne answered very confidently.
However, hearing what he said, Chris looked sad.
"What can we friends do besides cheering for her? Even Tasia's mother's condition can't be alleviated..." She whispered with some self-pity.
Wayne touched her head gently. "Don't worry too much. We are not gods. How can we do everything in the world?"
After thinking about it, Wayne revealed a little bit about Professor Conley's ongoing research to her.
"——If everything goes well, it should be able to temporarily curb the deterioration of Tasia's mother's condition." Wayne said.
Chris was surprised and doubtful about what he said, and her expression changed several times.
"That teacher of yours...is he really reliable?"
It seemed that Chrissy didn't have a very good impression of him.
"It should be okay. Professionally, he is really good at it." Wayne could only say this.
"...That's good." She fell silent.
The two walked back to their room side by side, but because Wayne's door was on the outside of the corridor, he stopped first.
Beside him, Chris followed his movements and stopped moving forward.
Seeing that Wayne just looked at her with a cute expression, and then stretched out his finger to point to his own room, Kris didn't know what she was thinking at that moment, but she crossed his path so smoothly and naturally. Shoulder side, stepped into his room.
As soon as she heard Wayne closing the door behind her, Chris realized that something was wrong.
Turning around suddenly, I saw his face with a hateful expression, but still very handsome.
Wayne was amused when he noticed the unconcealable guilt in Chris's eyes.
However, he didn't really want to do anything special.
Approaching Chris step by step, watching her retreat little by little under his control, until she was pressed on the soft leather sofa seat... Wayne slowly leaned close to her ear and deliberately asked in a lowered voice: "Tell me, is it more fun to play cards or me?"
"Solitaire." Chris replied without hesitation.
So Wayne kissed her rudely.
"Think about it again?"
"……card."
Wayne kissed her again.
This time it lasted longer, and by the time he finally let go, Chrissy was already out of breath.
"Think about it again? Huh?" He was persuasive.
Under his thoughtful and threatening gaze, Chris couldn't stand it.
"It's...it's you." She was afraid that Wayne would take the opportunity to mess with her again, so she quickly closed her eyes and turned her face to one side as soon as she finished saying this.
Wayne laughed deeply: "Since I'm the more fun-loving person, let's have some fun together, right?"
Then, he squeezed Chris's hand.
Something cool was placed in her hand.
The surroundings were quiet for a while, and after realizing that she had not been tricked by him, Chris slowly opened her eyes.
I saw a deck of cards lying quietly in my hand.
Chrissy: That’s it? ? ?
Seeing her eyes widen suddenly, as if she was doubting her life, Wayne suddenly laughed heartily. "Hahahaha, you're so stupid...are you expecting me to do something that would please you?"
At this point, his tone suddenly paused and he said thoughtfully: "Wait a minute, it seems like it's not impossible..."
"It's OK, you big-headed devil!" Chris threw the cards back on him angrily, pushed him away angrily, and tried to walk out.
"Hey, hey, I'm serious, let's play cards together~" Wayne pulled her to prevent her from leaving.
"Looking at how much you like playing cards and playing so enthusiastically in the academy, wouldn't it be nice to have someone continue to play with you when you come back?"
