Stepping out of the restaurant, the bright moonlight bathed the entire street.
Alex turned his head and looked at Columbina beside him.
Bathed in the cool moonlight, her face appeared even more pure and holy, like a first snowflake falling from the sky, untouched by dust.
He spoke gently: ” Lord Columbina, I will be leaving Winter Capital for a while soon.” “Hmm!” Columbina responded softly.
The two walked side by side in the quiet night, with only the faint sound of their shoes stepping on the wet ground echoing gently in the vast streets of Aether.
Reaching a street corner, Alex stopped and spoke again: “Let’s part ways here.” Columbina paused for a moment, then asked, “When…when are you coming back?” “Perhaps a few months, or perhaps…” Alex shook his head and didn’t say anything more.
What I was about to face was an extremely dangerous enemy.
Perhaps one day I will open my eyes and find myself in some gloomy and cruel human laboratory.
Columbina nodded.
“Then come back soon.” “I will.” Alex smiled slightly, turned around and left gracefully.
After a short journey, he arrived at an elegant villa.
Several pots of pure white Cecilia bloom quietly in front of the door, their soft petals still glistening with raindrops under the moonlight.
Alex stepped forward and gently pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, the door slowly opened.
Rosalyne’s slender and mature figure gradually came into view.
She wore a fiery red silk nightgown, the fabric clinging to her skin and outlining her graceful curves.
Her neckline was slightly open, revealing a patch of full, snow-white skin.
“What’s the matter so late?” She raised her chin slightly, her tone carrying a hint of elder-like authority.
Alex smiled slightly, “I’ve come to seek refuge with you.” Rosalyne pondered for a moment and then understood why he had come here.
Having suffered such a huge loss, Dottore will definitely retaliate fiercely.
“Come in!” She snorted coldly and turned to walk inside.
Alex followed behind her, stepping inside.
Inside the living room, warm yellow light shines on the neatly arranged furniture, creating a cozy and tranquil atmosphere.
Alex casually lay down on the soft sofa, completely ignoring the presence of others.
Rosalyne gracefully sat down opposite him, her red lips slightly parted, her tone carrying a hint of disdain: “You’re just an ordinary person, yet you insist on seeking revenge against an enemy comparable to God…
Now, are you scared yet!” ” Lady Rosalyne, I’ve told you I’m not stupid,” Alex said calmly.
“I’ve always known that.” “Then why do something so foolish?” She frowned slightly, her tone filled with confusion and reproach.
” Ann…” Wouldn’t it be better for Ann to live a stable life?
She had long opposed Alex taking revenge.
The reason is simple—his power is far too weak, and blindly seeking revenge would only lead to his death.
Alex’s smile faded, and he lowered his gaze: “Actually, before my adoptive mother Ann Lika passed away, she told me to forget my hatred and live a good life.” He paused, his tone low and firm, “But I still chose this path.” Because I don’t want to see a similar tragedy repeat itself.
The more hard ‘ Alex ‘ works now, the fewer ‘ Alexs of the past’ there will be.
As soon as she finished speaking, Rosalyne felt a jolt in her heart, and a hint of undisguised emotion flashed in her eyes.
She realized that she had never truly understood the man before her.
His revenge was not only for himself, but also for those innocent children.
“Idiot!” she muttered under her breath, then turned her face away, her tone softening slightly, “Would you like something to drink?” “Let’s have a glass of wine!” Alex said with a smile.
Rosalyne glared at her irritably, then got up and walked towards the tea cabinet.
The fiery red nightgown clung to her pert buttocks, swaying gently with her steps and outlining her alluring curves.
Before long, she placed a steaming cup of black tea on the coffee table in front of Alex.
” Lady Rosalyne,” Alex said, looking directly into her eyes as he gazed at the rising steam from the tea, “I remember we had a bet.” “Of course I remember.” Rosalyne, who had sat back down opposite her, crossed her arms.
“But I must warn you, I won’t grant you any unreasonable requests.” “It sounds like he’s going to cheat.” Alex’s tone was calm, but carried a subtle hint of provocation.
Rosalyne was momentarily speechless with anger.
“How could I cheat?
It’s just…” “Just what?” Alex leaned forward slowly, his eyes revealing a hint of pressure and aggression.
As he drew closer, Rosalyne, usually aloof and haughty, showed a hint of panic and nervousness on her face.
She subconsciously bit her lower lip, her voice trembling slightly: “But…
you’d better think carefully about the consequences.” The distance between them continued to shrink until they could almost hear each other’s breaths, and their faces became increasingly clear in the warm light.
When they were less than ten centimeters apart, Alex suddenly stopped, smiling broadly, “I’ve already thought about the consequences.” Rosalyne unconsciously clenched her fists, trying to remain calm: “Go on!” “I want to…
go to Mondstadt to get Gnosis for you.” As soon as he finished speaking, he casually leaned back on the sofa, as if the delicate confrontation had never happened.
Rosalyne was stunned for a moment, then realized—this bastard was deliberately making fun of her!
” Alex,” she gritted her teeth, “but working for me won’t be easy.” Alex picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and smiled gently: “Anyway, I’m already yours.
You can force me however you want, I won’t resist.” “you–!” Rosalyne was immediately filled with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, her cheeks flushing slightly.
“idiot!” She coldly uttered those words and then got up and walked towards her bedroom.
“Bang!” The door was slammed shut.
Alex looked away and slowly sipped his rich, fragrant black tea.
The system’s voice sounded at the opportune moment: [ Rosalyne] friendship +5] He raised an eyebrow, his smile widening.
It turns out, she likes this style.
Next, he checked the friendship section, which showed the following: Columbia 30/100 (regular) Arlecchino 30/100 (Normal) Sandrone – 35/100 (Dislike) Rosalyne 50/100 (I like it) Apart from Sandrone, everyone else was significantly more numerous than before.
If things continue like this, I’ll end up like a scumbag.
Sigh…
I’m clearly a very innocent person!
Oh, Tongzi, you’ve really put me in a lot of trouble!
