After Anne left with a look of doubt on her life, Anvis was about to continue drinking tea and reading the newspaper, but at this time, his movements suddenly stopped.
Following Anvis's movements, Fiona's figure quietly appeared in front of the tall arch window of the study.
Today, the girl is wearing a dark blue tiered skirt with a white ruffled underlay. The gorgeous fabric has the texture of twinkling stars, but the hem of the skirt has a white apron-like fabric on the chest. Also decorated with black bow ribbon.
The light golden sunlight shrouded her body through the stone window, giving her little body a hazy and wonderful halo, like a little princess walking out of a fairy tale.
However, there was some hesitation in the girl's big blue eyes at this moment, as if she was worried about something.
"Dear Lord, what are your orders?"
Glancing at Fiona's hesitant expression, Avis closed the newspaper and asked thoughtfully.
"Well... is it really okay for us to treat Anne like this?"
With a gentle breath, Fiona decided to muster up the courage to mention this matter to Anvis.
In fact, Anvis usually doesn't have that many documents to deal with. Recently, he just specially ordered the people below to reduce their work, gather together the more troublesome events that need to be dealt with, and leave them to Annie to 'study'.
Fiona was also aware of this, but since it was specifically arranged by Anvis, considering the possible hidden meaning, the girl decided to observe it for a while.
But recently, Anne's mental trance during the day has become more and more serious, and Fiona can't bear to see it.
After all, many things look simple on the surface, but are actually not easy to deal with, such as the renovation and expansion of territory infrastructure, interest disputes between people, and the management of foreign affairs, etc.
If you just want to hang out and be a salary thief, then it doesn't matter if you deal with it casually. But Anne's original intention was to help Fiona manage the city, so she had to distinguish carefully. As a result, the workload increased countless times in an instant.
She doesn't look like level 5 like Avis, but is actually level 8. Her daily work consumes a lot of her energy.
As a true fifth-level professional, after a month of non-stop, high-intensity work, even with Avis' thoughtful supply of recovery potions, his body would be able to withstand it, but his mind would be tired.
"I can understand your thinking, Lord, but this is a process that Adjutant Anne will have to go through sooner or later."
Hearing Fiona's question, Avis raised his eyebrows slightly and his expression became serious.
"After all, I can't always be by your side. When I leave, Miss Anne will take my place and help you manage the territory as the new city lord's adjutant.
Ms. Anne is loyal enough to you, but her personal qualities need to be improved. Therefore, before leaving, I will try my best to let Miss Anne learn and gain enough experience in managing the city.
The process may be somewhat painful, but I can ensure that it won't cause any permanent harm to her. "
"I understand, brother...Adjutant Boli, are you leaving?"
However, after listening to Anvis' explanation, Fiona's first focus was not on Anne, but on the intention to leave revealed in Anvis's words, and her eyes instantly showed reluctance.
"I am not ready to leave for the time being, but who can be sure of what will happen in the future."
Shaking his head, Anvis comforted the girl with a smile and successfully diverted her attention.
After Fiona left, Avis randomly pulled out a few documents from the pile of documents that Anne had processed and took a general glance at them. He felt that there was no big problem. So he just waved his hand and sent these documents to his subordinates according to their categories, allowing them to execute them themselves.
After all, it was to 'train' Annie's ability. Even if something went wrong in her handling, it would be the consequences that she would have to bear and find a way to solve on her own.
"Um...has it started?"
After sending Annie and Fiona away, Anvis, who was about to continue fishing, suddenly felt something and stopped for the second time.
The thread of fate he had been focusing on suddenly fluctuated, which meant that the opportunity he had been waiting for for the "Book of Yellow Clothes" to leave Langton had finally arrived.
.
….….
"What did you say? Paola is missing?!"
At the same time, Langton, who was communicating with someone using a crystal ball, suddenly heard the bad news and couldn't help but exclaimed.
In the past, he had an ambiguous cooperative relationship with Princess Paola of the Black Feather Kingdom when he disguised himself as the seventh-level spellcaster White Crow with the help of Dark Crow.
At that time, while Langton secretly sneaked into the restricted area of Black Feather Palace to search for a treasure, his identity was accidentally revealed by Her Royal Highness the Princess. But Princess Paola did not expose him. Instead, she covered for him, allowing him to succeed without any danger and leave safely.
In return for helping him, Langton served as Princess Paola's personal guard for a period of time.
Princess Paola is the youngest princess of King Black Feather. Although the king loves her very much, her own power is weak due to her young age. And because the old King Black Feather's physical condition has been getting worse and worse recently, and many brothers are eyeing her, she is in a very bad situation.
While serving as a personal guard, Langton helped her resolve several crises and served as a bridge to help her secretly establish contact with the resistance, allowing her to gain the power to protect herself.
Paola was very grateful for the help Langton gave her, and Langton took good care of her as his own sister.
The news of Paola's disappearance this time came from the resistance members who stayed in the Black Feather Kingdom. They had been specially ordered by Langton to pay attention to Paola's situation for him.
After receiving the news, Langton immediately contacted the federal resistance forces and commissioned them to investigate Paola's whereabouts.
According to the results of the urgent investigation by the resistance forces, there are many clues pointing to the seventeenth prince, Altmer Black Feather.
Prince Altmer is different from Paola. He is one of the most powerful princes, and his own talent is also very outstanding. Many nobles regard him as a candidate for the next Black Feather King.
It just so happened that the old King Black Feather was seriously ill recently, and many princes and princesses were busy fighting for power. No one cared about the disappearance of the youngest princess. After all, this saved them the effort of doing it themselves.
Just as Langton was thinking about how to save people, he unexpectedly received a letter from the Altmer prince.
The main message of the letter is that Princess Paola is in my hands. If you want her to be safe and sound, use the book in your hand in exchange. At the end of the letter, there is the specific location and method of exchange.
After receiving the letter, Langton immediately prepared to leave for the Black Feather Kingdom.
"Are you crazy? Langton, do you know what the book in your hand means!? That is your true hope of rising! Now you have to risk losing it, just to save a woman!?"
The Murkrow's roar of disbelief resounded in Langton's mind, unable to understand Langton's decision.
But after listening to Langton's words, Dark Crow finally fell silent.
"I will not give up anyone around me, Lord Dark Crow. If you encounter a similar dangerous situation in the future, no matter how high the price is, I will choose to save you without hesitation."
There was an inexplicable brilliance in his dark eyes. Facing the light golden sunlight, Langton grinned. The smile was so bright that it even made the Dark Crow feel a little dazzling.
