What can I say? A dog-human girl who is reproductively isolated from me is in heat with me? Gao Naiyi had to change the subject: "So, why are you in such a hurry to destroy yourself? Do you want to rely on drugs to persevere and make a decision after finding out all the truth?" "That will take a long time." "perhaps." "So, have you ever thought about a possibility: after my cognition slowly transformed into that of a woman, I inevitably fell in love with you?" Tang Rodick asked. "?!" The tall and strong Don Rodic's words were particularly powerful. Looking at Corneille's shocked expression, Don Rodic closed his eyes and said, "Yes, I don't want this either, so I must die before this sad fact. Mr. Corneille, I have nothing left except my male dignity, so please allow me to die as a man... and then, I will leave my new life as a woman to you." Chapter 98 Outsiders Before saying goodbye, they had one more thing to do.

On the morning of June 6, Shimana woke up from a nightmare. She dreamed that little Marcela escaped from Waite, leaving her here alone to face the wrath of Don Rodick. An hour later, the nightmare came true. Shimana was protected by the Knights' Office in Merida, but this protection was fragile. The witch from the "Judgment" field had no problem getting through. She knocked on the door of Shimana's room and said to her: "Madam, Mr. Don Rodick has filed a lawsuit against the Waite Court. Because it involved foreigners and was a serious matter, the Waite Court judged that it could not handle the case and handed it over to us for handling. Shimanna learned some local common sense in Waite and knew that the Ministry of Justice, which controlled the "justice" field, was in charge of all the courts in Waite. If they transferred the case, it would mean that they would be abandoned. Has Count Marseille cut ties with me, blamed all the bad things on me, and then ran back to Hechese, divorced me and married a noble lady? Sadness and anger filled Shimanna's heart, which gave her the courage to give it a try. She gathered her hair and asked calmly, "I want to see someone." "Who?" "Warden Selina Michaela." The witches in the Judgment domain looked at each other with cruel smiles in their eyes. One of them said to Shimana: "Mr. Warden, he was attacked by the guilty witch in the tower last night. His back was hit by magic eight times. He is now recuperating." The color on Shimanna's face faded, and she said disappointedly, "I know." So, Shimanna, the elite lawyer hired for her by the "Justice" field, and her four guards moved to the Libra Palace together. Shimana's hope was extinguished for a moment, but it was rekindled when she saw the figure sitting on the seat: the king of the forest in the field of "justice", Santillon Cid, folded her arms and stared at Corneille. An hour ago, Corneille, Don Rodique and the defense lawyer hired by Ingrid were waiting here. Regardless of justice, the warden was injured and Count Marseille was defeated. This made the witches in the "Judgment" field dispel their last doubts - doubts about Corneille's strength, so they had already discussed Shimanna's ending. There is no response from the "justice" sector. There are several explanations: The first is that they did not have time to react, after all, the defeat of Count Marseilles happened only eight hours ago; The second possibility is that the Duke of Berry reached an agreement with the Triple Alliance or the Knights, causing them to abandon the Count of Marseilles. The third possibility is that all of this is currently welcomed by the Three States Alliance, and they certainly will not stop it.

The first guess was too contemptuous, and the third guess was too terrifying, so when Corneille talked about this matter with others, everyone felt that the second possibility was the greatest and most reasonable. However, is the most reasonable guess necessarily the most realistic? Dias was also in the Libra Palace, sitting with Anne, Melusina, and Polly, ready to appear as a witness. Polly looked very ill, and although she received emergency treatment from the Longueville family, she still needed to rest for two to three months. "If you don't mind, would Miss Polly like to join us?" Diaz said: "School holidays are coming up and Pierre said that the humid rainy season in Merida is not good for my health, so we decided to travel to the east of Weite and stay for a while. During this period, we will pay you according to the standard salary of a guard, but Miss Polly does not need to do anything, just take good care of your health. You have done so much for us, and I am very grateful. " Polly felt a little happier when she heard that she could make money and be with her friends. The dog-people were also a race that feared loneliness, and loneliness was more terrible than injury. Anne was chatting with Helena. She asked meaningfully: "Has the friendship of 100,000 dinars been used up?" (No, I also want to ask, did Miss Longueville get what she wanted?) "Not yet." Anne played with her hair. "You know, sending Mr. Don Rodick to the Duke is just the beginning of the end." (I think this is the end.) "Humph, after all, we are not of the same kind. It is normal to have different opinions." (Are you still mad about not being able to join in last night's fight?) "Of course, I want to improve Mr. Corneille's favorability." (Negotiation, logistics, and intelligence gathering are equally important outside of combat. Last night, the Justice sector was still hesitating whether to rescue Mr. La Marche, but the Longueville family’s statement prevented them from taking any effective action.) "This is my mother's idea, not my credit." The small talk ended with the intrusion of a brown figure. The oppressive feeling of Santillian Cid, the forest king in the field of "Justice", is not as strong as those of the top forest kings, but her unique brown skin and left eye covered by an eye patch make it impossible to ignore her existence. Regardless of how others reacted, Dias stood up first, and Santillian also came over, looked him up and down and said, "You look much better than before. It seems that Corneille has taken good care of you." Diaz could only smile bitterly. Whether as a mercenary or a superhuman, Santillene is Corneille's predecessor. She was the C position of the Catalan mercenary group CCE48, that is, the chief superhuman. After graduation, she was recruited by the Barbarigo family and served as the third superhuman. At that time, she had formed a deep friendship with Angelica, the eldest daughter of the family. Santillian was not only Angelica's protector, teacher, but also her companion. So much so that when Angelica was forced to marry the second Duke of Alva, she chose to travel with Angelica. Considering that she was a mercenary, the Duke of Alva asked her to recruit good mercenaries, both to make her useful and to keep her away from the power center of the Toledo family. Corneille was picked out from the mercenary group by Santilian, but Santilian was not impressed by his fighting talent. Instead, she saw that the boy had become a mercenary without knowing why, and she didn't want him to die in vain. She gave Corneille travel expenses and asked him to go home, but Corneille refused. Corneille did not tell Diaz in detail what happened afterwards. Diaz only knew that his mother Angelica intervened in the matter and was greatly surprised after testing Corneille's cultural knowledge. Compared to the illiterate mercenaries, Corneille, who had attended secondary school, was a rare talent. Angelica felt sorry for him for leaving his hometown, so she kept him.

She came to teach Corneille cultural knowledge, while Santillan taught Corneille fighting skills. Santillan and Corneille were in fact master and apprentice, but their relationship was not very good. To be more precise, Santillan had always been against Angelica's use of Corneille. In Dias's memory, Santillan was gentle towards other people, but extremely strict and vigilant towards Corneille. Later, Santillan left and returned to the Knights' State to help the Barbarigo family seize the inheritance of the former first family, the Fugger family, making it the new first family. After that, she faded out of his sight. Even though he knew that she was sent to serve as the King of the Forest in the field of "justice", Dias did not have too many feelings. Many of his needs had been met by Corneille, and he did not need anyone else. "I heard about your mother and son. Angelica was wrong. Even if she has resentment, you are not only innocent, but also a victim. She worked hard to give birth to you. How could she be so cruel? You too, probably spent too much time with young girls and lacked some masculinity. I know what Lord Corneille and Her Highness Isabella are planning... humph, they want to repeat Angelica's tragedy. " Santillian's speech made her followers sweat profusely. Angelica's topic involved family power, and the Duke of Alva's topic involved social etiquette. If these two topics were not handled properly, they would turn into a small conflict. Only the veteran Santillian dared to make such a sharp comment. "Auntie Santillian, I understand my situation. I chose this myself." Dias tried to look into Santillian's eyes. "Please don't blame Pierre... Mr. Corneille. I am only grateful to him." "Okay, I will try my best to reconcile the relationship between you and Angelica. You should talk openly. As for other trivial matters, I won't bother you anymore." "Excuse me, Auntie, why are you here?" "To see you and Lady Cornelius. A beast like Shimanna... Well, excuse me, I don't care about Ms. Shimanna's affairs, but I heard some suspicious rumors recently, so I came to see you." Santillian bowed slightly to Diaz and left with his entourage. Diaz sat down, holding his chest. Sweat soaked through his clothes and sent a wetness to his palms. "She may not be as powerful as my mother, but I admire your courage for speaking to the king of the forest like this." Anne handed over the handkerchief: "I even felt that Mr. Toledo was a little angry." Diaz frowned: "Well, she has always discriminated against Pierre and treated him like a thief. I don't like her. She is just an outsider, why should she interfere in our affairs? " "That's right, Mr. Toledo, you can do whatever you want." Anne smiled and said, "I see that Mr. Corneille's shoulders and palms are wrapped in bandages. The witches have treatment methods. Obviously, Mr. Corneille doesn't trust us very much. It's really sad." "No, Pierre is not that kind of man." "I can understand his defensiveness, so I was wondering what kind of witch could gain Mr. Corneille's trust, make him feel at ease to hand over his body, and let the witch touch him fully so that the wound can heal quickly." Anne looked at Dias with burning eyes: "Mr. Toledo, do you know such a witch?" Although she shouldn't have, the first person Diaz thought of was herself. If she were the one to touch Corneille, Corneille would definitely accept her treatment quietly and then praise her, "Well done." I was the only one whom Pierre trusted. The sweet illusion made Diaz's cheeks blush lightly, and Polly asked: "What are you talking about?" Chapter 99 Duel

"We were discussing what kind of witch could be trusted by Mr. Corneille, allowed by him to touch her body and use magic to heal her," said Anne. Polly sneered, "It certainly wasn't you, Miss Longueville." "Why, I didn't say it was me. After all, Mr. Toledo and I have a special relationship." Anne's eyes did not leave Dias: "I thought about it, it's not just about healing. According to Waite, if Mr. Corneille wants to move, it would be better to have a witch to help him. What do you think of Mademoiselle Melusina? Let us persuade her to serve Mr. Toledo as a hired servant, and let her go with Mr. Corneille?" Melusina sat in the corner, suffering from lack of sleep. After returning home yesterday, she kept apologizing to Don Rodick and cried for a while before falling into a deep sleep. Two hours later, she woke up from the nightmare. The guilt made her unable to eat anything until Corneille asked her to testify in court. The lightness brought by atonement slightly alleviated her heavy mood. Now, she is making the most of her time to catch up on sleep. From a rational point of view, persuading Melusina to join is a powerful supplement to the strength of Dias' camp: From the control capabilities provided by the Pure Love Shield, potion mixing and charm to body care, document drafting and magic teaching, Melusina is a top-notch character as a support. In this way, Corneille's burden would be reduced... Dias really couldn't bear to see Corneille living a hard life where he had to do the work of five people. However, Dias had a slight sense of crisis. If Melusina performed well, he and Anne finalized their marriage, and Isabella did not interfere with Corneille's marriage, and these three things happened at the same time, Corneille might propose to the Lusignan family for the sake of interests and unity. She knew that the teacher was not against Corneille and even had some feelings for her. She could often feel Melusina peeking at Corneille, her fingers crossed and pressed together, conveying and suppressing desire. This was what she knew about the hidden and unspoken romances. As a witch, Diaz is unwilling to do so. As a duke, Diaz must affirm Anne's proposal. If the other party notices his hesitation, Anne will continue to delve deeper into this topic. This damn witch! Unexpectedly, Polly was the first to object: "I don't agree with this employment!" Anne was a little surprised: "You?" "I have a very good nose. That witch really wants a child." Polly said with some disdain: "When Corneille was less than 15 centimeters away from her, her smell became stronger." After Polly finished speaking, Dias and Anne were silent. The former felt her chest swelling when she recalled her past with Corneille, while the latter sometimes thought of Corneille's strong and powerful body. Anne changed the subject abruptly: "Anyway, the most important thing today is to finish Mr. Tang Rodick's business properly. He has been waiting for this day for too long." On the other hand, Corneille was quite surprised by the appearance of Santillan, but soon, seeing that the other party began to change shape and vaguely developed into the figure of the warden, Corneille felt the cruelty of the passing of time. Obesity is one of the obvious signs of a supernatural being's decline. During this period, because the body's energy activity level decreases and consumption decreases, while the food intake remains unchanged, the supernatural being's body shape will begin to change. At this age, most extraordinary people have a secular foundation, especially the extraordinary people in the Federation. In order to pay the annual fee to Fortuna, they are more focused on maintaining their own property and have no time to exercise, so their body shape will become more and more out of shape. Corneille had no feelings for his predecessor. Santillin hated him and thought he made the unfortunate Angelica even more unfortunate, while he felt that she was a little nosy and favored her own family.

So, Santillan worked with him for many years, but Corneille responded to her with a very cold attitude.
