Orson pushed open the door of the private room. At this mont, it had been decorated into a cozy restaurant.
Across the dining table sat his partner, Celineina.
The girl’s long red hair flowed down her back. Her golden eyes looked at him, revealing a hint of a smile.
It seed the other party considered today’s dinner very important. She wore a black evening dress that fully displayed her beautiful figure to Orson.
It seed even when attending the banquet in Saint Roland City, she hadn’t dressed so boldly.
“Orson, it’s been a long ti,” Celineina said this, revealing a charming smile, raising her wine glass, and gesturing for Orson to sit.
“Mm,” Although he didn’t know why Celineina was being so formal today, Orson still sat down.
“Aren’t you going to say sothing to ?” Celineina said this, looking into Orson’s eyes.
Orson had originally intended to look into her eyes as well, but suddenly realized sothing was wrong.
The evening dress Celineina wore today was low-cut. Her figure was already good, and coupled with her current leaning forward motion, Orson could see the captivating cleavage with just a slight downward glance.
“Celineina... You are very beautiful tonight,” Orson said this, blushing and turning his head away.
This complint was not false. Objectively speaking, whenever Celineina t Orson before, she always gave off a capable and spirited feeling. Yet tonight, she suddenly displayed such femininity.
Of course, at this mont, Orson also felt a hint of doubt.
Why was Celineina doing this?
“Hehe,” Celineina was also very happy to receive Orson’s complint. She picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine into Orson’s wine cup.
“To celebrate our great hero’s triumphant return, I’ll raise a glass to you first,” Celineina said this, and drank the wine in her glass all in one gulp.
“There is no great hero. If it weren’t for the financial support you provided, with just the Duchy’s finances, we wouldn’t have been able to pay the military salaries and pensions for even two months,” Orson said.
Saying this, Orson also raised his wine glass and drank it down.
“Try these dishes and see how they taste,” Celineina said this, pointing to the plates on the dining table.
“These were all made by the best chef in Antica City that I found. Although I can’t guarantee they suit your taste, the quality is definitely sufficient.”
“Actually, you didn’t need to go to so much trouble. My favorite is actually the food made by the servants at ho. I’m used to it,” Orson said this, picking up a piece of beef and putting it in his mouth.
“Mm, very good.”
After hearing Orson say this, Celineina’s slightly nervous mood relaxed.
She was afraid that if the food wasn’t up to par, it would affect their mood for the evening.
“Did you encounter any problems today? You specifically asked out for dinner,” Orson asked after a few rounds of drinks.
“Not really,” Celineina shook her head. “Can’t I look for you if there are no problems? Or do I just seem like a burden who only causes you trouble in your eyes, Orson?”
“No, no, that’s not what I ant,” Orson said, shaking his head with a blush, seemingly affected by the alcohol.
“Then what do you an?” Celineina pouted, feigning anger.
“If you don’t tell , I’ll get angry, you know.”
“Ahem, it’s just... I think, Celineina, you are the kind of person who wouldn’t co unless there was sothing important.”
“So that’s how utilitarian I am in your eyes, Orson?” Celineina said this, feeling a little disappointed.
Subsequently, to change Orson’s perception of her, she also thought of so actions.
She sat on the opposite side of the table and chair, extended a leg, and gently rubbed Orson’s leg.
Orson didn’t notice at first, but as Celineina’s movents beca more pronounced, even if his nerves were numbed by the alcohol, he should have sobered up. Not to ntion, he wasn’t actually drunk.
“Celineina, you...” Orson stared at Celineina in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Shush.” Celineina put her index finger to her mouth, making a shushing gesture.
“Orson,” Celineina said this, her tone carrying a hint of complaint. “Do you know, I actually wasn’t very happy with you at first.”
“I thought you were deliberately pretending to know everything, to understand everything.”
“That day you guessed my intentions, the ti I wanted to fund Litte, I was actually very surprised, but at that ti I thought you were just guessing and your purpose was to warn , so I was very dismissive.”
“But later, you showed through your actions that you are indeed that capable. My opinion of you dissipated, replaced by sha, the sha of my frog-in-the-well self presumptuously guessing your intentions.”
“After that, I always completed the tasks you assigned well, and you told again and again through your actions that trusting you is always right.”
Celineina said this. It seed the alcohol was taking effect. The blush on her cheeks beca more and more alluring. Although her eyes were blurry, a hint of clarity still shone through.
“I always felt I wasn’t worthy of you, so even that ti I secretly confessed to you and you didn’t respond, I can understand.”
“I was originally planning to just maintain our cooperative relationship like this until the end, but... Orson, guess what...” Celineina said this, and laughed foolishly.
“Soone thinks the two of us are very suitable together.”
And Orson at this mont had fallen into a ntal storm, his thoughts in complete disarray.
It seed the alcohol was at play. Orson didn’t know why, but his brain was resisting thinking.
Every cell in his body seed to be saying, “Take it. It belongs to you.”
