Charles II's gaze swept across the area of the Holy Sanctum and went straight to the hinterland of Efta. He had already envisioned countless attack plans in his mind. He even had a draft on how to surround Hollier and how to attack Elson. At this time, with only his daughter by his side, he did not think too much like he did with the group of nobles in the council hall. He said, "I actually quite admire that Sally now. She grasped the political power of Efta at such a young age and even dared to stand up against me independently. Now that the Dragons are on our side, it's only a matter of time before we swallow this fat piece of meat called Efta. Rowling … To tell you the truth, I even thought about marrying that Roddy at first, but now that he has raised the flag to fight against us, I naturally have to teach him a lesson. "
Rowling's gaze trembled slightly. Although she had thought about marrying Roddy, she did not feel comfortable hearing her father speak of her like a bargaining chip. But now she knew that she had no choice, so she whispered, "Will they just wait for death?"
"I thought they wouldn't, but now it seems that these guys have already fallen into chaos internally."
Charles II was somewhat pleased with himself. His fingers tapped on the armchair's handle. "Intelligence shows that they have not issued any conscription orders until now. The lords themselves don't know what's going on, and those guys in the cabinet are starting to sing a different tune … Tsk tsk, they even have an intelligence agency. This is really ridiculous. Setting up an intelligence agency in my territory, do they really think that I can't get people in?"
There was a lot of information in these words, but Rowling usually did not care about these things. She only thought that Efta was really in danger. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "In that case, Father will definitely succeed in unifying the kingdom."
"Not only do I want to unify the kingdom, but I also want to expand my territory …" Thinking of the intelligence he had read this morning, Charles II, who was drunk, could not stop talking. "Tasman has already fallen into internal strife, and the Orcs on the prairie have no climate. This is a godsend opportunity. The countries in the east have been in chaos for so many years. When my country is strong, it will be their time of destruction!"
"You will, Father."
Rowling was still as obedient as ever. Charles II heaved a sigh of relief, waking up from the dream of being in the same world as him. He reached out and patted his daughter's head. "Your future life will definitely be happy. My greatest wish is for you to not think about these things and live a peaceful life. Although Dragons are arrogant, they are not made of stone. Rowling, my only hope for you is to strengthen the bond between us and the Red Dragons … "
Although these words were vague, Rowling's face involuntarily paled … Charles II clearly wanted her to use her body to deal with Iscar, but Rowling, who had received a good education since childhood, could not imagine that her biological father would ask such a request from her.
An alliance marriage was an alliance marriage. Why did she have to act like a prostitute and entertain others with her beauty?
Rowling's fingers were pale from clenching so tightly, but because they were hidden under the luxurious lace sleeves, Charles II did not notice. The monarch who dreamed of unification felt a little sleepy and had already narrowed his eyes. From beginning to end, he did not notice how ugly his daughter's expression was – because his eyes had been staring at the map.
"Soon, soon …"
Charles II muttered in a low voice.
*****
5th of May, early morning.
When the sun shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, Roddy, who had been sleeping in, slowly opened his eyes.
For the past three or four months, he had been busy preparing for the war. His working hours almost exceeded fifteen hours every day. But after the preparation stage and arranging all the plans, he, as the decision-maker, was instead idle. So these days, he had been working hard to replenish his sleep so that he could maintain a better mental state after the outbreak of the war.
Of course, this was Roddy's plan, but Akasha had forcibly occupied a lot of his "rest time". Looking down at the little priest lying in the crook of his arm, Roddy glanced at the magic clock from the corner of his eyes … Well, it was now eight o 'clock. He clearly went to bed at ten o' clock in the evening, but it seemed that he had only slept for six hours …
The little priest in the quilt pressed her smooth skin against Roddy. When he raised his arm slightly, he could fully feel her fullness and softness. After absorbing the Dragon Crystal, Roddy's physical strength was strong and his energy was infinitely exuberant. Until now, he was even a little helpless with his "instinctive reaction". In order to not continue to stimulate his body, he moved his body to the side, for fear of touching Akasha. As a result, as soon as he moved, the little priest opened her eyes –
"I still want …"
"Stop fooling around. Look at what you've become."
Roddy didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Akasha's words, "If you want to have a child, you can't even get out of bed, and you still toss around. I really don't know what to say about you …"
Akasha blushed at his words and leaned on Roddy's chest, faintly saying, "But … it's been a few months, why am I still not pregnant …"
After saying that, her face was a little gloomy, "Is it because my body has some problems in the past, so I can't give birth?"
This was not without reason. From the first time she and Roddy had sex, it had been almost a year. Roddy did not use any contraceptive measures, but Akasha was still not pregnant. This result was indeed easy to let one's imagination run wild.
There was no "gynecology" in this era, and the so-called "medicine" was covered by theology. After all, most diseases could be cured by the Holy Light, but the Holy Light was not omnipotent. According to Rody's own observations, the effect of the Divine Spell on external injuries was very significant. However, for internal diseases, there was often no immediate improvement. Usually, the Divine Spell would only relieve the pain and wait for the patient's body to heal itself. If the patient encountered cancer or internal organ failure, the Divine Spell would not be able to save them.
Akasha also knew the shortcomings of the divine art, so the first thing she suspected was that when she suffered in the "Viper Cross" before … perhaps it left her body with an incurable hidden injury. But Roddy quickly interrupted her, "What nonsense are you talking about? I think it may be because my body was transformed by the Dragon Crystal. In this situation, I can't be compared with normal human beings. Isn't there a record in history that the probability of 'Dragonians' being born is very low?"
In fact, he himself did not know the specific reason, but Roddy used to watch a lot of palace dramas when he was on Earth, and also knew that women were very sensitive in this aspect. If the two of them did not have children, the one to blame was often the woman. This was the epitome of a patriarchal society. Now in this world, this thinking pattern had not changed. Roddy did not want his wife to suffer from depression because of this, so he quickly looked for the reason himself …
Akasha was not stupid, of course, she understood that Roddy was protecting her. Although Roddy still had Sally and Kardashian, she really could not understand his "biased" intention. On the contrary, she could feel that Roddy was doing his best to consider her feelings. This kind of happiness of being cared for, in fact, had long exceeded her expectations.
"Alright, don't think so much. You also need to rest your body. If you continue to struggle like this, I think you won't even be able to go to the laboratory. "
After saying that, Roddy kissed her cheek. Although they had been together for so long, the little priest still shyly lowered her head, twisted in his arms, and whispered, "If you don't want to go, then I won't go, I'll just stay here …"
This kind of shameless behavior was really a test for Roddy. He tried to calm his lower body, and changed the topic, "Do you have any clues about the matter with Edith?"
"It's very difficult … I can't find a way to reconstruct her body at the moment. If we find a corpse to inject a soul into, it is even more unrealistic. This is like pouring magma into a bottle, it might lead to very terrible things …"
Akasha shook her head, a little discouraged, "I feel so bad. Things like 'souls' are too complicated, it is impossible to study at all."
"I did not say that you have to find the answer in a few months, don't let yourself get stuck in a dead end." Roddy comforted her, and then sat up, hugging the lump of flesh, and said, "I still have things to do today, if I sleep any more, I will become a little sow."
"Hmph hmph …" Akasha moaned twice in Roddy's arms, and then laughed at herself. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the door opening in the living room. Before Akasha raised her head, the bedroom door was pushed open — Akasha quickly got up with an "ah" and burrowed into the quilt. She was too tired last night, and when she slept, she did not even wear underwear. How would she dare to see anyone now? But Kardashian, who came in, did not care about this at all. She walked in with a smile, and said to Roddy, who had a helpless face, "Let's go, let's go, I'll bring you to see something good!"
After that, she sat on the bed, stretched out her hand, and patted Akasha's butt in the quilt, "You, can't you let Roddy take a vacation?"
"Aiya …"
Akasha was so shy that she did not even dare to show her head. She was really convinced by the style of this Miss Dragons. She could not be angry, because she, a Dragons, did not care about the privacy of humans. In the past few months, she really went into Roddy's bedroom whenever she wanted, and never knocked on the door …
Roddy was obviously used to the style of the first wife. He rubbed his hair, which was like a chicken's nest, and said helplessly, "Don't say it like you're giving me a vacation — okay, okay, okay, I won't say it anymore."
Roddy, whose face was pinched by Kardashian, quickly begged for mercy. In front of her, Roddy was really weak, but in fact, this was also intentional. After all, only in this way could the "harem" maintain a balanced state. He respected all those who loved him and those he loved, so he would never use force to prove anything.
"Then I'll go and see her first. If you are sleepy, you can rest for a while."
