Chapter 271 "It is impossible for a girl who carries the honor of her family to fall in love with Mr. Julong"
Faced with the completely unexpected compliment, Margaret was stunned at first, then her cheeks blushed.
It's happiness, but also anger.
As the head of the law enforcement team, she was smart enough to understand the meaning of Mo Cheng's words just now, and she was even more keen to notice that Mo Cheng didn't look into her eyes when he spoke, and his tone was like a stick reading, which was not some kind of shyness at all.
It was something that made the girl feel even more angry.
The girl took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and silently suppressed her anger.
"Mo Cheng."
"What's up?"
"Although I know this is a compliment, I would be even happier if you could look me in the eyes when you say it."
Margaret knew that Mo Cheng probably didn't even realize what he said, but when he said it, she still felt happy, and then angry.
Because the person involved obviously just regarded these words as her tentative counterattack.
"Uh." Mo Cheng pushed his glasses awkwardly after being found out of his lies. "So, should I do it again?"
"……No."
If it happened again, Margaret herself wasn't sure if she would do anything stupid.
For example, she would stab the bastard in front of her who said something false even though she knew it was a lie, causing the girl's heart to flutter like a deer.
Margaret suddenly realized that this dress was not completely useless. At least she couldn't carry a sword while wearing it. Otherwise, the Dawn Wind would have been unsheathed and pierced Mo Cheng's chest.
But even though she knew that Mo Cheng didn't mean it, it didn't mean Margaret could pretend that nothing had happened.
The blonde female knight grabbed Mo Cheng's hand and pulled him up, "Come on, dance with me."
It may not be unintentional, but since the words have been spoken, there will naturally be some price to pay.
"I can't dance."
"It's okay, just follow my steps."
As a noble, Margaret had naturally received education in banquet dancing, but she did not usually attend banquets.
Leading Mo Cheng to the center of the dance floor, he placed his left hand on Mo Cheng's shoulder and pulled up his left hand with his right hand, "Put your hand on my waist."
Reaching out and gently holding Margaret's waist, Mo Cheng could feel how soft the waist was when his palm touched, and how explosive the muscles were hidden beneath the skin.
Just like her master, she is charming in appearance and possesses great power.
Margaret began to dance to the beat of the music, and Mo Cheng, with his strong control over his body, danced along with Margaret without stepping on her feet.
Meanwhile, Wendissa, who was supposed to go back to her room to think about the title of her new book, was holding a magic imaging crystal and starting to record. The expression on her face was as if she was watching a really good show.
"Oh, oh, I'm dancing, I'm dancing, inspiration comes... the story of a human noble lady and a giant dragon boy."
Even Commander Brady couldn't stand seeing Wendisa's look. He coughed softly and reminded her, "Wendisha, please pay attention to your etiquette."
Wendissa had no intention of paying any attention to Brady, and she muttered to herself, "What should the book be called?"
"'Presenting a Wedding Ring to a Handsome Dragon'? Well, no, Mo Cheng isn't particularly good looking."
"'Dragon Rider'? No, that won't work either. People will think it's an adventure novel."
"'It's impossible for a girl who carries the family's honor to fall in love with Mr. Dragon'? This... seems to be possible. Yeah, let's write it like that!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of manuscript paper from somewhere and started writing and drawing.
"She is a beautiful noble girl, but also a slave to fate; she is the pride of the Laurenfrost family, but also..."
While writing, I also made a backup.
Make two copies, so that even if Margaret finds and burns them one day, at least there is a backup and I can continue writing.
…
On the other hand, Mo Cheng, who was dancing with Margaret in his arms at the party, felt uncomfortable all over.
Not only was there the look in the eyes of those nobles who wanted to tie him up in the basement as an heirloom, but there was also Vendisa's inexplicable giggle that always made his back tingle, and also the look in Margaret's eyes that he couldn't tell what it meant.
In short, it's very uncomfortable.
It felt like I was wearing a straitjacket and I felt uncomfortable all over.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Mo Cheng was absent-minded, Margaret turned around lightly and leaned her back against Mo Cheng. "Are you thinking about another woman?"
"no."
Mo Cheng felt that Margaret seemed a little strange today, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He replied: "I am thinking about how to clean up the three territories in the heart of the Vahlan Empire, and the task assigned to me by Dean Muzel."
"Mo Cheng."
"Um, what's wrong?"
"...No, nothing."
She wanted to tell Mo Cheng that it was really rude to think about other things while dancing with a woman, but after thinking about how Mo Cheng had always behaved, Margaret felt that if she pointed it out , she would probably have to spend more time explaining more things.
angry!
What kind of living environment live in to develop such an EQ that he doesn't understand girls' minds at all! ?
Although she was annoyed, Margaret still continued the conversation with Mo Cheng. She knew that talking about these things with Mo Cheng would be easier and simpler than talking about other things.
This is true for both of them.
After thinking for a while, Margaret said, "We can entrust the Laurenfrost family to collect the books that Dean Muzel requested."
Now the Laurenfrost family controls the human coalition's only outpost in the heart of the Vahlan Empire, which gives them considerable say in the human coalition.
At this time, if Mo Cheng, who also controls a large part of the defensive force of Fort Cotton, asks for it, the Laurenfrost family will be happy to help Mo Cheng.
After all, what is important about books is the knowledge contained in them, which can be copied.
"What are you going to do with the troops in the heart of the Vahlan Empire?"
"I have killed the Death Lord. The Undead's territory is now in chaos. No lord is willing to submit to anyone else, and a new Death Lord cannot be elected. Once the subsequent reinforcements bring the siege equipment, my legion will be able to easily occupy the Undead's territory."
Mo Cheng had no way to deal with the undead who were hiding in the city. A big part of the reason was that he had no siege troops. In the undead's territory, there were not even a few trees or grass, so it was impossible to use local materials to build siege equipment.
So he is waiting now, waiting for the subsequent reinforcements to bring siege equipment. When the time comes, without the protection of the city walls, Mo Cheng will let the undead know who is the master of the undead territory.
