"You're under house arrest?" Seeing that Mi Lei didn't say anything, Ito Sei used his arms to lift Mi Lei up from the chair. He lowered his body and sat down on the chair. Then, he held Mi Lei in his arms and asked Mi Lei softly. Mi Lei's upper body was upright again.
"Isn't it obvious?" Mi Lei rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"Then why didn't you contact me before? If it weren't for the fact that I didn't hear any news from you and the fact that the army was in a mess today, I was afraid that something would happen to you. What if you were separated from me? "Ito Sei complained.
"Everything was fine the day I came back. It was only after they heard that my engagement with Earl Royd was canceled that my family changed their minds. However, they didn't do anything to me at that time, so I didn't care too much. I thought that after two or three days, Grandfather and Mother would forget about it. Then, I would explain the situation and look for you, "Mi Lei sighed as she placed her palms on the back of Sei Itō's hand.
"Who knew that three days later, Mother would actually find another marriage …" At this point, Miley's expression paused, and she said with some dissatisfaction, "Could it be that our Ashford Family has fallen to the extent that we have to rely on marriage to survive?"
"So, I told Mother what I wanted …"
"And then you were under house arrest?" Sei Itō frowned as he listened to Mi Lei's narration.
"Yes, and in order to prevent me from causing trouble, they took away everything that could be used on me, including the little black ball you gave me," Mi Lei sighed helplessly.
"Also, if it weren't for the Chinese Federation suddenly issuing a notice to take back Japan three days ago, my matchmaking partner might have already come to Japan to meet me," Mi Lei added.
"Then it seems like I did things in a timely manner," Sei Itō smiled.
"What do you mean?" Mi Lei asked, confused.
"Now. The Chinese Federation is under my control, and the notice issued to Britannia three days ago was also my idea. So, I'm the one who saved you from the abyss of dating. "Sei Itō laughed.
"You actually control the Chinese Federation?" Sei Itō had the means to control the Chinese Federation. Mi Lei, who had seen many strange things in the Rubik's cube world, did not have any doubts. However, she was a little surprised that Sei Itō would control the Chinese Federation.
"Yes, I'm going to borrow the power of the Chinese Federation. Sei Itō explained. "Take Japan as a stepping stone and declare war on Britannia, then unify the whole world!"
"…" Milay was shocked by what Sei Itō said and turned her head abruptly. He stared at Sei Itō in shock. After a while, he said exaggeratedly, "You are really daring!"
"What? You think I can't do it? "Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and looked at Mi Lei.
"No, with your means and the power you have there, how can you not do it? I just didn't expect you to do it, "Mi Lei shook her head slightly and explained.
"But in that case, Japan is also under your control now, isn't it?" Mi Lei looked at Sei Itō and asked.
"That's right." Sei Itō nodded and confirmed, "Although it may not be the whole country, but the main bustling areas like the Tokyo Concession are all under my control."
"Then … what are you going to do with us Britanians and nobles?" Mi Lei, who got the confirmation, asked hesitantly.
"Apart from restricting their movements and reducing some of their privileges, I won't do anything to the Britanians and nobles in Japan for the time being. As for the future, especially after I establish the country. I will probably abolish the noble class. "Sei Itō tilted his head slightly and thought.
"That's good." "But you'd better strengthen the security management in the concession these days. Although you won't do anything to us Britanians, the same can't be said for the original Japanese number-makers. Who knows, they might do something to disrupt the peace." Milei sighed softly and reminded him, "But you'd better strengthen the security management in the concession these days. Although you won't do anything to us Britanians, the original Japanese number-makers might not.
"I know. When I go back, I will send people to strengthen the security management in the concession. If it doesn't work, I will take people from the cities in our hands and directly take over Japan!" Sei Itō nodded in agreement.
"What are you going to do now? Continue to stay at home as a lady, or leave with me and help me manage Japan." At this time, Sei Itō changed the topic and asked again.
"Why don't … you accompany me to meet my parents and make our relationship clear?" Mi Lei said hesitantly with a frown.
"What's our relationship?" Sei Itō smiled and looked at Mi Lei teasingly.
"What do you think?" Mi Lei narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with a smile.
Seeing Mi Lei's expression, Sei Itō knew that if he continued to tease Mi Lei in the future, Mi Lei might do something evil in the future. He quickly put on a serious face and said, "As long as you don't mind, I agree!"
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you." Seeing Sei Itō behave, Mi Lei snorted and curled her lips.
"Let's go. We will go and see my mother now." Then Mi Lei grabbed Sei Itō's hands with both hands and tried to open them with a little force. She got up and stood up straight from Sei Itō's arms.
"Okay." Sei Itō, whose eyes followed Mi Lei's movements, nodded slightly and answered straightforwardly. Then he waved his hand in the air and a little black ball suddenly appeared in his hand. Sei Itō flipped his hand and put it away. He then stood up from the chair and walked to the door with Mi Lei, who was waiting on the side.
"You do it." Mi Lei, who came to the door, stepped aside and turned her head to say to Sei Itō beside her, "You do it."
Sei Itō, who reached out and pressed the doorknob, nodded slightly and activated his psychokinesis to unlock the door and open it. He then stopped and stood aside. After Mi Lei stepped out of the room, he quickly left the room and walked with Mi Lei to the master bedroom where her mother was.
After a short while, Mi Lei and Sei Itō stood in front of a dark brown solid wooden door that was tightly shut.
"Dang dang dang." Mi Lei reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Soon, a middle-aged woman's voice came from behind the door. She sounded rather stiff.
"Creak." After getting permission, Mi Lei and Sei Itō looked at each other before turning the doorknob and pushing the door open. Then, she led Sei Itō into the master bedroom.
Instantly, a woman in a light green dress landed on the floor. She looked 70% to 80% similar to Mi Lei. Her long brown hair was tied up high at the back of her head. She looked like an elegant lady in her thirties appeared in front of Sei Itō.
"Mi Lei?! Why did you come out? "She looked at Mi Lei and Sei Itō who pushed the door open and entered. Mi Lei's mother frowned and said in a deep voice, "Also, who is this man beside you?"
"Hello Auntie, please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Sei Itō. I'm Mi Lei's boyfriend. " Before Mi Lei could speak, Sei Itō, who suddenly reached out and grabbed Mi Lei's hand, spoke first.
"Sei Itō? Boyfriend? What's the matter with Mi Lei? Tell me clearly! "Mi Lei's mother frowned. Her face was full of displeasure as she glared at Mi Lei and shouted in a deep voice.
"Also, what's wrong with pulling and pulling? Mi Lei, where's the aristocratic etiquette that I taught you? Have you forgotten all of it?! "Mi Lei's mother then pointed at Sei Itō's hand that was holding Mi Lei's hand and yelled angrily.
Mi Lei, who was scolded for no reason, first rolled her eyes at Sei Itō. Then, in order to prevent her mother from getting angry, she pulled her hand out of Sei Itō's big hand and looked at her mother to explain, "Mother, Sei Itō is right. Itsunari is right. He is indeed my boyfriend. Even Earl Royd knows this. "
"What?! Even Earl Royd knew? You've really disgraced the Ashford Family! "Mi Lei's mother stood up from her seat and yelled at Mi Lei in a flustered and exasperated manner.
"And this brat, from his name, you can tell that he's a lowly person from the 11th district. As the only heir of the Ashford Family, how can you get together with this kind of person? Do you want the Ashford Family to become the laughing stock of the Empire's aristocratic circle?! "Mi Lei's mother continued to scold.
"Mi Lei, I order you! Immediately cut off all contact with this brat and stay at home to reflect on your mistakes. Then, listen to your grandfather and I'll arrange for you to return to Britannia to meet the young master of the House of Royaxu and discuss the marriage! "Milei's mother gave an unyielding order.
"It seems that reasoning won't work." Sei Itō, who didn't take Mi Lei's mother's scolding to heart, looked at Mi Lei beside him and shrugged helplessly.
"Don't mess around," Mi Lei hurriedly pulled Sei Itō and whispered.
"Mi Lei! Didn't you hear what I said? You actually dare to pull and pull this brat in front of me. You don't even see me as your mother! " Mi Lei's mother pointed angrily at Mi Lei when she saw that Mi Lei actually took the initiative to pull Sei Itō's arm.
"Don't worry, no matter what, she's still your mother. I won't do anything to her," Sei Itō ignored Mi Lei's mother's yelling and reached out to pat Mi Lei's hand to comfort her.
Then, without waiting for Mi Lei to speak, he released a small part of his aura and pressed down on Mi Lei's mother.
"Uh …" As a normal person, at most a noblewoman, how could she withstand Sei Itō's aura? Her face immediately paled and a low moan came from her throat.
"Mother," Mi Lei hurriedly took two steps forward and called out softly.
"Auntie, I'll tell you the truth. You can't stop me and Mi Lei. Not only can you stop it, the Ashford Family can't stop it, and even the entire Britannia can't stop it!" Sei Itō stepped forward and held Mi Lei's hand again, then slowly walked towards Mi Lei's mother and said in a low voice.
"Shameless boasting!" Mi Lei's mother pretended to be calm and looked at Sei Itō with disdain.
"Shameless boasting? Then you'll see if I'm shameless boasting! " Sei Itō, who was only a few steps away from Mi Lei's mother, sneered. "You should know what day it is today. Even if you don't, you should have heard the faint sound of artillery fire from outside an hour ago."
"You're a citizen of the Chinese Federation!?" As a noble, especially a Britannia noble in Nippon territory, how could he not know about such an important matter? Therefore, Sei Itō said with a face full of surprise as soon as he finished speaking.
"Citizen? You nobles are really arrogant. "Sei Itō sneered.
"But it doesn't matter. You can treat me as a citizen. But I'm a bit special because I control half of the Chinese Federation and almost all of Nippon now! In other words, the Ashford family in Nippon is also under my control. As long as I want to, I can take you out and destroy you at any time! "Then, Sei Itō narrowed his eyes and continued to speak calmly.
Hearing this, Mi Lei's mother's expression changed slightly. Her face was pale, and she looked at Sei Itō in front of her with a slightly frightened expression.
"Do you understand now, auntie?" Sei Itō, who was standing a meter away from Mi Lei's mother, said with a smile.
"Mi Lei following me is not a disgrace, it can even be said to be an honor! As long as I defeat the Britannia's counterattack, she will at least be a princess by my side. This is much better than your Ashford family following behind Mariana. At least Mariana isn't from your family, isn't she? "Sei Itō tempted after he finished intimidating them.
"When the time comes, if you want to revive your family, or something else, you can decide with Mi Lei's help! But if you reject me now and randomly marry Mi Lei to someone else, then don't even talk about whether your Ashford family will have a future of glory, it's not even certain if you can stay. Which side is good and which side is bad, I believe auntie should be able to understand with your wisdom. "Sei Itō analyzed again.
Hearing all of Sei Itō's words, Mi Lei's mother's expression kept changing. She stood there blankly for a while without saying anything.
"I can't decide this kind of thing. I need Mi Lei's grandfather to agree." A moment later, Mi Lei's mother, who was still conflicted and unable to come up with a decision, looked up at Sei Itō again and said.
"Okay, auntie, go ahead and talk to Mi Lei's grandfather. Mi Lei and I will wait here for your good news." Sei Itō, who knew that Mi Lei's mother wouldn't make the decision, didn't think much of it. He pulled Mi Lei away from her mother and said to her sideways.
Mi Lei's mother took a deep look at Sei Itō, then lifted her skirt with both hands and quickly walked out of the room through Sei Itō's path. She walked towards the study room where Mi Lei's grandfather, Old Ashford, was.
"Phew …" After her mother left, Mi Lei let out a long sigh. Then she suddenly reached out and pinched Sei Itō's arm. She said with a faint smile, "What did you just say? It's not a disgrace for me to marry you, but an honor? Why? You don't like me? "
"Why would I?" Although he didn't feel any pain, Sei Itō still put on a painful expression on his face. He quickly reached out and hugged Mi Lei. He denied with a smile, "You're a treasure in my eyes. Even if it's an honor, it's my honor."
