Mage Veigar

Chapter 237: Hidden Chess
Bah, bah, bah—

The moment she saw Vega, Silis couldn't help but shed tears.

Just like a child who was bullied outside and returned home, even she herself couldn't control the infinite grievance in her heart.

"Hey, are you...are you okay?"

Vega, who was standing opposite to Silis, felt a little creepy. He didn't know what Silis was going to do today. Based on her changeable personality, or acting skills, Vega always had a bad premonition.

"S-Sorry, I screwed up."

Qi Lisi cried and said, "I didn't know. I had no idea that the butler Fok had been watching me. I was too proud of myself recently and was discovered by my father. Now all my efforts have gone to waste."

"Is that why you're crying?"

Vega really didn't know what to say. To be honest, he had never been optimistic about Silis's plan.

Because in his opinion, this plan was too troublesome. To deal with a small business family, anyone who disobeyed would be killed directly. All he needed was Celis's identity to control the entire Rodney business family, just like the United Kingdom needed Vega's identity to control Kalini.

But why not just do it?
Because Vega considered that he could not stay in the imperial capital forever. If a new crisis occurred, who would solve it?

Therefore, Vega has always adopted a laissez-faire policy towards Silis with the idea of ​​training her, with the aim of allowing Silis to grow up as quickly as possible so that when he leaves the imperial capital, he can take care of this key chess piece for him.

So wasn't it natural for Layton to find out?

After all, he is the head of the family. If he can't even guess the psychology of a 17-year-old girl, then this family would have been swallowed up by others long ago, and there would be no chance for Vega to reap the benefits.

"sorry Sorry……"

Silis's constant apology brought Vega back to his senses. He took a step forward and wanted to touch Silis's head on tiptoe, but he suddenly remembered that Silis seemed to dislike being touched by other people, so he gave up.

Embarrassed, Vega withdrew his hand and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for me. We are just allies. If you fail, you should feel sorry for your own efforts. What are you going to do next?"

Vega stared into Silis' eyes.

The next step is to test Celis. If she learns from her mistakes and prepares to make new plans, Vega can destroy the Rodney family with confidence and leave the entire family to Celis.

If Silis is completely defeated, Vega will have to find someone else.

But Qi Lisi’s train of thought seems to be more... strange?
Qi Lisi's tears flowed again like a flood. "Yes, we are just allies. I am no longer useful to you, so I am probably not qualified to stay by your side as an ally. I will go back and tell my father that our engagement has been cancelled. I will no longer use your name to protect myself."

"That's not what I meant. I was asking about the next plan..."

Before Vega finished speaking, he was hugged tightly by Silis. The fullness of her chest made him speechless: "But at the end of my life, I want to hug you no matter what. Please allow me to be willful for the last time."

I was able to come here safely after my plan was exposed, thanks to Vega.

If she loses the relationship with Vega, his father will not let her go, and the only thing Silis can think of is death.

But for some reason, at this moment she was not afraid of death.

She was afraid of leaving Veigar forever, which made her want to hug Veigar uncontrollably. Like a moth to a flame, even though the huge pain had made her face pale, she still hugged Veigar tightly until she fainted from the pain.

When she woke up again, the ceiling was unfamiliar.

Qi Lisi looked around and found that this was a room of about 30 square meters. From the custom-made military uniforms hanging on the hangers, it could be seen that this was Vega's officer dormitory, but Vega did not seem to be here. She stood up.

Qi Lisi took off the military uniform and stroked it gently. She even held up the uniform and took a deep sniff of the smell. Although she knew it was a very bad thing to do, she couldn't help herself.

Celis didn't understand what kind of feeling this was.

Celis didn't understand when this feeling came about.

Was it the brave stepping forward outside the Balkan city, the life-saving rescue on the Rops Road, the heroic rescue of the beauty at the banquet, or even the silent protection during the negotiations?

Maybe both, maybe not.

Silis didn't want to recall the past. The more she thought about being abandoned by Vega because she was no longer useful, the more painful it became. She had even begun to think about how to tell a few lies to show that she was still useful so that she could continue to have the current cooperative relationship with Vega. However, she no longer wanted to deceive Vega.

creak-

The door opened and Vega walked into the room with documents.

The moment Silis heard the voice, she hung the military uniform back on the rack, but her face was unusually flushed.

“Here’s your pass.”

Vega handed the documents and a military academy pass to Qilis: "The dormitory at the military academy is very tight, and that old guy Tiers refused to approve another room for me, so I have to inconvenience you to stay with me for a few days."

Celis took the pass and documents with trembling hands.

Her voice was full of disbelief and excitement: "Y-You mean, I can live here?"

"Although it can't compare to the luxury of your home, you have to make do with it."

Vega took out a new set of blankets from the cabinet and said, "As for your family's problems, I will help you solve them after I participate in the fourth phase of the General Plan National War. Didn't you promise last time that you could come to me if you run into trouble? Do you think I am someone who doesn't keep my word?"

Although Vega spoke righteously, Silis always felt that it was a lie.

But even if this was a lie, Silis was willing to be deceived by Vega. She was even so moved by the lie that she wanted to hug Vega again, but Vega took a step back because he didn't want Silis to faint again.

It must be mentioned here that Silis's premonition was very accurate.

On the way back, Vigas thought about it and finally decided to choose Celis to control the Rodney family.

Although she is not qualified in many aspects, you cannot expect a 17-year-old girl to be perfect in everything. And precisely because Silis is only 17 years old and has nowhere else to go, she is easier to control.

If other direct descendants were replaced.

Why should they choose Vega when they have so many choices? And Vega comes and takes away all their cakes. Who would be willing to obey him? Even if they are suppressed by force, they will inevitably betray him in the future.

Therefore, the only choice left is Silis who has nowhere else to go.

Although he is a bit stupid and seems quite naive, he may be entrusted with important tasks if he is properly disciplined.
