"Why?"

Esdeath was stunned for a moment, and then became visibly anxious.

"You promised me before..."

Esdeath didn't understand why Luye's attitude suddenly changed suddenly.

Before, he clearly had a "refuse to welcome" attitude!

"Do you have any worries?" Esdeath said, "I will definitely take care of your family, village, etc."

"That's not the reason. I just feel that I can't betray my girl. I will love her for the rest of my life."

"Lu Ye, you have no room to refuse me!" Esdeath suddenly approached Lu Ye and grabbed his collar tightly.

"I can only say that even if you get my person, you can't get my heart..."

Luye expressed his determination with a very clichéd line.

At the same time, he picked up the photo on the ground and handed it to Esdeath.

Esdeath didn't take the photo, she just stared into Lu Ye's eyes silently.

After noticing the latter's firm gaze, she was silent for a moment, then she took the photo and sighed softly.

"You are so stubborn. You must be tired today. We will talk about this later. Just rest first."

"Then I'll sleep on the sofa..."

Esdeath grabbed Lu Ye who was about to get out of bed.

"I won't do anything tonight, so just sleep with me."

After getting the guarantee, Lu Ye dared to lie on the bed.

After a while, the two of them were lying on the same bed, covered with the same quilt.

Neither Luye nor Esdeath closed their eyes.

In the dim light, Esdeath suddenly asked: "The blond girl you like... looks young. Do you like someone younger than yourself?"

"I'm not a lolita fan, it's just that the person I like happens to be a lolita." Lu Ye stared at the ceiling calmly.

"Really, even the preferences for choosing a partner are the same as mine." Esdeath turned her head and stared at Lu Ye, "But I still want to ask, what is your reason for rejecting me? If you are really so

If you like that girl, why did you agree to me in the first place?"

Facing Esdeath's question, Luye still stared straight at the ceiling.

"In the beginning, I actually wanted to stabilize you," Luye said. "Actually, you like the Three Beastmen and the others very much, right?"

Esdeath was stunned.

She didn't understand what Lu Ye meant. Is there any connection between the two sentences?

"Captain, I have always been curious about why you confessed to me at this time. Now I understand, you are actually very sad inside, aren't you?" Lu Ye asked.

Hearing this, Esdeath looked unhappy.

Lu Ye's remarks made her very unhappy.

"Who do you think you are, that you can read my mind?"

"I can't read minds, I just feel that way."

"It's ridiculous, why do you have this illusion?" Esdeath said, "It's just three subordinates. Anyway, the hunter team has been established now. The only pity is that the Teigu of the three of them cannot be recovered."

"Captain...if you said this, could you hide the photo under the pillow?"

Esdeath was stunned, and when she turned around, she saw that a corner of the group photo was indeed exposed from the pillow.

When she was lying down, she unconsciously stuffed the photo under her pillow.

Because she was a little worried that if she put it on the desktop without a fixed photo frame, the photo would be blown away.

The safe place is the closet. There are cabinets there, but she can't go there to store the photos in front of Lu Ye.

"They are my loyal subordinates." Esdeath's face tightened, trying to remain serious.

"But how long have they been with you?" Lu Ye asked.

"It's been a few years..."

"Captain, you don't have many friends around you, do you?"

Esther paused, vaguely aware of what Lu Ye wanted to express.

Lu Ye was right. Although she was very famous, she had no friends around her.

The three beast warriors are her subordinates.

But if you really want to say it, the three beast warriors can be regarded as her only friends.

Although on the surface they have a superior-subordinate relationship, Esdeath gives orders, and the three beast warriors are humble and dedicated. But in private, Niu will play flute music for Esdeath, even though she does not understand music, Daidas

He will work tirelessly to practice swordsmanship with her, and former general Liva will answer all her questions, like a mentor.

"They are my subordinates." Esdeath said firmly without changing her words.

"But whether it's a subordinate or a friend, it would be sad to lose it, right?"

Luye turned sideways and looked at Esdeath, her ice-blue eyes seemed to be "flickering" in the dark night.

"Only for this time, if possible, I can lend you a hug...sincerely." Lu Ye said seriously.

Esdeath said nothing.

She held on for a few seconds, then hugged him, and their bodies were tightly attached to each other.

This time there were no strange desires, just a warm embrace that could provide temporary comfort.

"Really, why can you notice this? I am the one who has to take the initiative..."

Feeling the body temperature of the other person, Esdeath groaned like a sigh.

Lu Ye said nothing.

The human heart is not made of iron.

You will be sad when you should be sad.

No matter how much I divert my attention, I still feel a slight throb in my heart.

Even a woman who is the most powerful in the majestic imperial capital and scares countless foreign enemies will occasionally feel lonely and sad late at night.

Lu Ye also confirmed this not long ago.

Esdeath is a person who dares to take action.

But the reason why she behaved like this tonight was obviously not just because she liked herself.

This large house is empty. Esdeath, who lost her family since she was a child, grew up alone. Although she talks about the law of the jungle, she is still a human being at heart and still needs the company of others.

Esdeath lost the person around her, so she urgently needed someone else to fill the void in her heart.

Before today, the people closest to her were probably her cronies - the three beast warriors.

After all, judging from Esdeath's words on the street yesterday, their relationship should be good.

But Luye couldn't be her comfort, even if he was pretending, he wouldn't allow it.

He couldn't bear this kind of feeling.

There was no way he could stay with Esdeath all the time.

It's not because she helped Ernest and helped the evildoers.

It's not because she is too strong.

If he wanted to say why, he had already willingly handed over his whole life to that innocent girl.

So for Esdeath, a hug is the greatest comfort he can give.

"But my feelings for you are true," Esdeath stared into Lu Ye's eyes, "Can you please do it again?"

"No." Luye said.

But the next second,

The feeling on my lips is like clouds in the sky.

Lu Ye sighed inwardly.

This woman's character is really domineering...

It's definitely not going to work like this.
