Can't I develop my own character?

"Where is Amabena?" Elvian asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"She's resting. She might be tired." Ryan spread his hands. "She's been busy handling state affairs these days."

Elvian's mouth twitched slightly. "You lie without blinking? Is she busy with state affairs?" Oh, no, in a sense, it is indeed state affairs. After all, as queen, Amabena has only these things to worry about.

"Lian, I've just thought about this. Since you know I promised the Empress, I must go through with the marriage to satisfy her. Otherwise... otherwise, she might suspect I have ulterior motives." Elvian said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "So... it's okay if you don't have time to plan the wedding, but at least... rest first. I can then tell the Empress and let her mistakenly believe I'm already dealing with Magna."

"Of course! I said we're in a cooperative relationship now, it's just a temporary solution to convince the Empress. As long as you don't deal with Wildea, I won't take action against Maganna... Anyway, that's it."

Awkward!!! ￣□￣｜｜

Elvian didn't know how much courage she had to say these words.

She would never have thrown herself into a man's arms before, but...it had come to this. If Ryan wanted to threaten her, she couldn't resist, so instead of waiting, she might as well take the initiative.

"Oh~ You mean, we cooperate and each gets what we need, right?" Ryan said, stroking his chin.

"Yes, it's cooperation. What do you think?"

"I don't mind, but..."

Ryan looked Elvian up and down, and said in a very skeptical tone, "Have you really decided? Actually, it doesn't matter. The Queen has doubts, so what? The contract has been signed. Can she go back on her word and destroy Wildea?"

"No!" Elvian shook her head. Even if there was a one percent chance, she was unwilling to gamble on this possibility!

Wildea can no longer withstand any more blows!

Before Avril fully grows up, what she, the queen, has to do is to try her best to buy more time. Let's not talk about anything else but just looking at the Arcadia Empire. If the Northern Federation really can't hold on and is destroyed, Wildea will need the full support of the August Empire, otherwise it will definitely be destroyed by Arcadia.

That’s it anyway.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Elvian had been having some desperate thoughts recently. She met Ryan by chance, tried her best but couldn't defeat him, and then she turned around and saw that some stupid queen was living such a comfortable life, and she felt unbalanced in her heart instantly.

She didn't think she would lose to Amabena.

If he could tie his interests with Ryan's and gain the trust of 'Vene', wouldn't Wildea be able to rest easy?

Elvian suddenly realized that she could actually do something, and her dead heart instantly became active.

It may sound ironic, but the most desperate thing Elvian has ever experienced is standing outside the door and listening to Avril's painful process but being unable to do anything, watching Wildea become a vassal of the Augustus Empire but being unable to do anything... I can't do anything.

She no longer wanted to face this kind of mental torture, even if it meant abandoning her previous ideals. As long as it was on the road to redeeming Wildea, she was willing to do anything!

Ryan didn't know how much psychological preparation Elvian had put in. In fact, he was a little nervous. What if, in the middle of an in-depth communication, Elvian suddenly awakened the sense of justice of a female knight, felt that her lifelong service to the Moon Goddess could not be tarnished, and turned around and died with him?

Although the small head is important, the big head is the foundation of everything.

"Don't you dare?" Elvian saw Ryan's hesitation and raised the corner of his mouth: "Ryan, you are not afraid of me, are you?"

Ryan chuckled: "Queen, you'd better think carefully about what you are saying."

I can't beat you in a fight, but I can beat you up in that kind of thing.

"Of course I understand, but if you're afraid, I won't force you."

Elvian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. It had been such a long time since she could finally feel superior to others.

Ryan, how do you feel now!

"Anyway, if there's no problem, I'll come see you tonight."

Trying hard to maintain his kingly demeanor, Elvian said something, turned around proudly, and walked away.

Ryan stood there, thinking for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Elvian?

"Maybe that's what the Butter Queen is like."

After much thought, Ryan felt that this conclusion was more reliable.

......

After separating from Elvian, Ryan went to find Anjia and confirmed with her the list of nobles to be beheaded.

"Sir Ryan, do you really want to invite all these people here?"

Anjia looked at the list on the invitation letter and clicked her tongue slightly.

A casual glance would reveal all the powerful nobles in the Kingdom of Lot. Moreover, because they are far away from Silvermoon City, they live very freely in their respective territories.

Given the current situation of the Kingdom of Lot, even if Amabena personally issued an edict, those people might not come.

"It's okay, just send it out. It doesn't matter whether they come or not." Ryan said with a smile.

"Don't mind?"

Although Anjia was confused, what Amabena told Ryan was her order, and Ryan was basically the regent in the Kingdom of Lot now.

Anjia took the order and quickly did it.

Ryan then went to the military camp.

The training of the Kingdom Army had just begun not long ago, and currently there were only 10,000 people available for combat, which was quite bleak indeed.

No wonder those nobles don’t care about royal power at all.

But it doesn't matter. Indeed, when the other party came, he arranged for them to have a meal, using courtesy first and then force.

Not coming?

That’s good too. Once the army charges in, the iron-blooded suppression will be over.

Anyway, after this action, he wanted to make sure that no one in the entire Kingdom of Lot would have any dissenting thoughts.

For this purpose, Ryan specially left behind a thousand Holy Blood Army soldiers. These were not new recruits, but veterans who had followed 'Xia Li' in battles across the country.

Suppression, house searches, and confiscation of all property!

Because of the special geographical advantages of the Kingdom of Lot, Ryan planned to develop it into a trade transit station between the August Empire and the Northern Federation. The cultures of the two sides are different, and the specialties are also different. Mutual trade is conducive to economic development. As for money, no matter how much, it is not too much.

Oh, I'm still a poor guy now, and I don't have much, so it's okay.

"Next, we have to be on guard against the people from the City of Desire... What a headache."

Ryan's mind moved.

"By the way, just call Lin Qi over."

He intended to establish the faith of Janus in the Kingdom of Lot.

How can I describe this country? I have to say it's really rotten. Originally part of the Northern Union, it theoretically believed in the Moon Goddess, but because the royal family once worshipped the God of Desire, Amabena's grandfather and his grandfather didn't promote it at all.

Simply put, neither side is straightened out.

It was just right to bring in the Gate of Janus. Anyway, he and Lin Qi were old friends with a good relationship, so he could just consider it as delivering some performance to Lin Qi.

What? As loyal members of the Empire, we should believe in the Sun God?

Tsk, promoting the belief in the sun god is the Empress's business, what does it have to do with me, Ryan?

Queen Wei Nei? I'm not familiar with her. I only have my saintly friend Lin Qi in my heart!

Ryan gave Lin Qi an order, asking her to bring the people from the Janus Gate over first. Anyway, the Northern Federation was now stable, and she could not help in the war with the Arcadia Empire for the time being.

Compared to this, the actions of the City of Desire should have been targeted by the Gate of Janus. It must be said that Lin Qi's identity as a saint is really useful. Having her around saves Ryan a lot of trouble.

After dealing with these things, it was getting late. Jonathan came to find Ryan. The old man was ready to enter the City of Desire.

Come to Ryan for a drink and a meal before leaving.

After all, even eating inside becomes a problem. Without identity and contribution points, outsiders can hardly move in.

However, Old Joe had hooked up with many wealthy ladies in there last time. According to him, after entering, he would first stay at the home of an old lover and observe the situation before taking any action.

Anyway, recently the attention of the believers in the City of Desire has gradually shifted to the Kingdom of Lot. Instead, the manhunt for Old Joe within the City of Desire has been relaxed. After not finding him for so many days, they also know that he is likely to have escaped.

This is also the reason why the city lord prohibits the circulation of keys. Because with that thing, it is difficult to restrict the entry and exit of people. Some people do bad things and just run away, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Ryan thought to himself, you guys are an evil organization, and you still blame them for doing bad things.

After a satisfying meal and seeing Old Joe off, Ryan returned to the room and found Elvian already standing at the door waiting for him.

Still wearing a crimson dress, the Queen fulfilled the promise they made when they met at the train station. Ryan really wanted to ask you how many sets of this dress you have made?

Elvian obviously knew that Ryan was not in the room, so she had no intention of knocking on the door. She also knew that Ryan was not doing that, otherwise there would be a barrier... In fact, she was a little worried. Ryan had just fought with Amarbena in broad daylight. Would he not be interested in her at night?

If it could really be confirmed, it would be "beneficial" to her. After all, Ryan was tired, right? She had the advantage of time and place, so it wasn't impossible for Ryan to be at her feet tonight... Well, according to the records in the books taken from the royal family, it was theoretically possible. Although this was her first time, the physique of a seventh-level transcendent was not just talk.

Fight, Ryan!

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ryan had a strange expression on his face. He noticed that Elvian seemed to be on fire for some unknown reason, her eyes brighter than daylight. Damn it, are you really like this? Are you serious female protagonists usually so serious, but actually such a scoundrel in secret?

"I just wanted to see if you would run away."

Elvian came back to her senses and spoke in a forced calm tone.

Ryan just shook his head, too lazy to talk to such a virgin.

With Elvian's personality, even if she was cremated, her mouth would still be there.

You’ll know what to call soon.

Although the seventh-level extraordinary person is very powerful, Ryan has tried it, and the Grand Duke was crying. Physical fitness cannot change certain characteristics. At most, it can enhance physical strength and make it more durable.

Originally, Ryan's plan was to slowly corrupt Elvian. After all, Wildea's life and death were now in his hands. Just like before, he would destroy the queen's spiritual support step by step, and then take her down.

But since Elvian started the war, he might as well go with the flow and let Elvian know how terrible the adult world is.

While thinking, Ryan pushed the door open and went in, then saw Amabena lying on his bed with her butt raised, reading a comic book.

Ryan: "..."

Elvian: "..."

I'm so tired, so alone

Amabena: “^_^”

"Why are you still here?" Ryan glanced at the table in the room. Sure enough, there were a lot of snacks on it. This guy hasn't gone out since the afternoon!

"Because I'm going to sleep here tonight." Amabena said, then noticed Elvian. "Why is she here?"

ー澪﹄２⑵ノ╲⒊○⑨⑻

Ryan spread his hands: "She said she would sleep here tonight."

After hearing this, Amabena immediately sat up from the bed and stared at Elvian with a vigilant look on her face, like a kitten with its fur standing on end, wary of an enemy stealing her food.

Then Elvian was a little dumbfounded.

Oh, Moon Goddess, God knows how much mental preparation she had made before taking this step... Why is there such an idiot here!

As someone experiencing this for the first time, Elvian regarded this kind of thing as an absolutely personal secret. It only needed to be done when the 'combatant' was present. The presence of a third person was absolutely not allowed!

"Queen Amabena..." Elvian faltered, "I need to discuss serious matters with Ryan tonight. Can you please return to your room?"

"It's business." Amabena stretched out her words. "I want to hear what it is, too."

"This concerns the future of the August Empire and Wildea. It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"This is my castle. I can be wherever I want."

Amabena looked at Elvian with pride, she knew that the latter wanted to seduce her father-in-law.

Although Elvian entered here with Ryan's permission, Amabena had no intention of letting Elvian go easily. After all, if Elvian had not been secretly planning everything, she, the queen, would not have been chased all the way to the border of the kingdom.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but it takes a villain all day long!

Amabena: Elvian, how do you feel now!

Elvian was silent, and then saw that Ryan had no reaction at all. What did this mean? Did Ryan not care that Amarbena was here? This kind of thing should be impossible, right?

Thinking of this, Amabena suddenly took off the clothes she was wearing, and her proud figure was immediately revealed perfectly.

"Hmm."

Elvian took a half step back.

She had to admit that this idiot had the capital.

┅澪一弍２/３○⑼㈧

Amabena proudly raised her head and puffed out her chest, like a proud peacock.

Elvian clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger.

"Ryan?~~" AmaBena said in a coquettish voice.

Ryan: "..."
