As he looked at the villa that was emitting lights in the darkness, Klein mentally prepared himself for a few seconds before getting off the carriage. He walked up the three flights of stairs to the entrance and entered the house while surrounded by the general's guards and servants.
Seeing that Cynthia was dressed conservatively due to the presence of others, Klein silently heaved a sigh of relief. He maintained his solemn expression as he slowly approached.
Cynthia's smile became more obvious as she tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, revealing her slender and fair neck. There were no signs of a necklace on it.
Seeing Secretary Luan and the general's guards head for their rooms or spread out to stand guard outside the house, Klein said in a deep voice before Cynthia could give him a hug, "There's no need to prepare hot water.
"There's no need to prepare hot water. Give me a quiet room. I need to be alone for a night."
"…" Cynthia used her eyes to express her confusion and puzzlement.
Klein surveyed the area and said in a deep voice, "Something happened.
"Something happened. I need to enter a very calm state to recover."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and tugged at his sleeve slightly, revealing distinct light-colored flesh buds.
His poor physical condition and abnormal reactions were an excuse Admiral Amyrius had prepared for the tramp substitute from before. It was to help him avoid Cynthia's request to be intimate with him without exposing any problems. To increase his persuasiveness, Klein had deliberately used his Faceless skills to provide "evidence."
Cynthia's mouth turned agape as she nearly screamed. Thankfully, she reached out her palm in time to stifle her voice.
"Are you alright? Do you need to find a doctor? "Cynthia calmed down a little as she immediately asked nervously. Her concern was evident in her words.
"No, this is the necessary price for obtaining powerful strength. I just need two or three days of peace to return to normal." Klein had also found a follow-up reason.
"Okay, okay." Cynthia hurriedly led Klein to the second floor and led him to the quietest room.
As for the master bedroom, she had lit a few sticks of incense and sprinkled some pure dew with a refreshing fragrance, so she didn't give it up.
Seeing the door close, Klein slowly exhaled. He changed out of his general's attire and lay in bed in satisfaction.
Not far away, in the master bedroom, the worried and disappointed Cynthia took a hot bath before getting into bed.
Her eyes were unfocused as she stared at the ceiling. She couldn't help but think of her father and mother's advice a few days ago.
They wanted her to curry favor with Admiral Amyrius, and it was best if she could get pregnant with his child. This way, the family would be able to obtain even more representation of the Central Sonia Navy.
The general seems to be hiding a lot of things in his heart, to the point that there's a certain abnormality in his body … Cynthia thought aimlessly, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
She drifted off to sleep.
Vaguely, she felt her stomach heat up and her body heat up. In her dream, she seemed to see a pitch-black night sky dotted with bright stars.
One of them seemed to sense her gaze and shone even brighter.
…
The next morning, the refreshed Klein enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast that did not have any special characteristics. He was once again surrounded by the admiral's guards and arrived at the Oravi naval base. He commandeered the most luxurious and spacious office.
According to Admiral Amyrius's habits, he would spend some time alone every two or three days to study and grasp his Beyonder powers at a deeper level, as well as develop more practical techniques. Therefore, Klein had most of the day without any disturbances. All he needed to do was handle simple official duties.
In the quiet and spacious office, Klein was either leisurely pacing back and forth or flipping through the books on the shelves. From time to time, he would reach his palm into his pocket and touch the Ninth Law charm, making it emit an abnormally heavy might. This was to make the blond secretary, Luan, believe that there was nothing wrong with Admiral Amyrius.
After an unknown period of time, Klein felt a little sleepy and planned on taking a nap.
At this moment, he heard knocking on the door.
There's something very important … Klein frowned.
Something that could make Secretary Luan disturb Admiral Amyrius's focused training was definitely not simple!
"Come in," Klein reined in his emotions and replied in a deep voice.
The delicate-looking blond youth, Luan, twisted the doorknob and entered. In his hand was a telegram.
He suppressed his voice.
"Your Excellency, a telegram from Baekeland.
"Mr. Aston has been relieved of his position as governor-general. He will be temporarily replaced by the city council's chairman.
"It's said that the new governor-general will arrive today."
Aston Rieveldt has been relieved of his position as governor-general? Their ploy has been discovered? That's right. Even the Twilight Hermit Order came to warn me — no, Amyrius. It means that they have long grasped the exact situation. Through the operations of certain members, there's a high chance that the matter will be resolved through a series of changes in positions … They gave the warning last night, and they are taking action today. They must have been preparing for a long time … Yes, just from the fact that the new governor-general will arrive today, I can tell that … Klein was first alarmed before he felt that it was reasonable.
He mimicked Admiral Amyrius's attitude when faced with a major problem. He paced around and said with a solemn expression,
"I understand."
Klein didn't express his stance or give any orders. He appeared extremely brooding.
However, in fact, he hadn't thought of what to do.
There's a saying in our Foodie Empire: "Being still is better than being active." I wonder if Rosell has translated it … Klein thought in a self-deprecating and lampooning manner.
Luan looked up at Admiral Amyrius and didn't say a word before silently leaving the office.
Phew … Klein paced around once again as he considered what choice the real Admiral Amyrius would make if he were standing there.
This was an unexpected and important matter. Without the corresponding contingency plan, Klein could only infer from Amyrius's personality, experiences, and some of the self-descriptions in the information.
He's a conservative person. Even though he's a Low- or Mid-Sequence Beyonder, he seldom takes risks when he's on all kinds of ships … He believes that he's a Rouen noble who values his family, his children, and his emotions. He's a gentleman who is very gentlemanly and is very likable to women. Yes, this point is worth discussing. With his level and status, even a curly-haired baboon would be loved by women and men. No, he might even be loved more. At the very least, curly-haired baboons don't tell outdated jokes … Information flashed through Klein's mind as they interwove into a three-dimensional image of Admiral Amyrius.
As he immersed himself in the image, he heard knocking on the door again.
"Come in." Klein instantly tensed up.
The blond secretary, Luan, entered and pointed outside.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Aston wishes to meet you."
Why is Aston here? Does he wish to meet Amyrius for protection, or is he planning on putting up a last-ditch struggle? Klein narrowed his eyes and realized that he had no choice but to make a decision for Admiral Amyrius.
"What will he do? After receiving the warning from the Twilight Hermit Order, he should have understood that the matter had been exposed, and the target had long since made preparations. With his conservative personality, it's not hard to imagine his choice …
"But he also placed great importance on family. He even described some of the interesting things about Auston Rieveldt in detail. It's not hard to tell that it's the concern and love an elder brother has for his younger brother … He doesn't like marijuana or cigarettes. Drinking is just for socializing. Aside from being a little obsessed with women, he doesn't have any major problems …
He places great importance on his family … Family … Klein quickly recalled, allowing himself to completely immerse himself in Amyrius's identity. He experienced the emotions and the importance he placed on matters.
Family … At that moment, he seemed to transform into Amyrius, but he was analyzing all sorts of problems in a detached manner.
After more than ten seconds of silence, Klein heard himself speak in a somewhat unfamiliar and cold tone.
"Tell him that I have a lot of things to deal with and don't have time to see him.
"Also, buy him a ticket back to Baekeland."
Luan seemed to have expected it. He retracted his gaze and replied as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Seeing Luan leave the office and head outside in search of Auston Rieveldt, Klein sighed like the real Amyrius Rieveldt.
He knew that if Amyrius were to return early, he would make the same choice.
This was because he placed great importance on his family!
With his scheme exposed, Amyrius wouldn't risk his final bargaining chip and place his family at risk of destruction. As long as he didn't get involved, as long as he was still a demigod, the Rieveldt family wouldn't suffer too much damage even if he was no longer the supreme commander of Central Sonia's navy.
As for getting his secretary to buy the ticket, it indicated that Amyrius still treated Auston as a brother. It was a warning to others not to harm him before the problem was resolved.
After nearly a minute, Luan replied, "Your Excellency, Mr. Auston has left."
Amyrius places great importance on family … Klein fell silent for two seconds.
With his back facing the secretary, he asked in a deep voice, "Admiral, Mr. Auston has left."
Amyrius places great importance on family … Klein fell silent for two seconds.
He asked, "Did he say anything?"
Luan answered truthfully, "He said that you are indeed a naturally cold person."
Klein listened quietly. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile without a hint of a smile.
This was his instinctive reaction, but having assimilated into Amyrius's identity, he believed that the admiral would have similar reactions.
That kind of feeling, that kind of emotion was the same!
In the time that followed, Klein sat in his office. He didn't meet any guests, nor did he handle any official matters. All he did was occasionally listen to Secretary Luan's report on the situation on Oravi Island.
Until the new governor arrived, nothing happened.
In the evening, he canceled the dinner that he had booked and returned to the garden villa. When he saw Cynthia walking towards him, he gave her a hug.
Then, he calmly said,
"Auston has been relieved of his governorship."
All the sighs, all the sighs, and all the pain were condensed into this emotionless sentence.
"I heard about it. It should be fine, right?" Cynthia asked nervously.
Klein closed his eyes and didn't bring up the matter again. He only let out a soft "hmm".
That sentence just now was the most obvious expression of emotion that a serious, old-fashioned, conservative, and introverted person could make.
