Mage Veigar

Chapter 454 Dinner Together
Can't see through.

Completely invisible.

When Vega saw Silis's cunning smile, he found that he could no longer guess Silis's thoughts as he did before.

So he swallowed and waited for Lis Chisui to tell her what she wished for.

"If I remember correctly, I am still your fiancée to the outside world."

Qi Lisi smiled brightly: "So my wish is very simple, that is to hold a wedding for the two of us in this city of Dunbu. I'm really sorry that I can't wait until you come of age to get married."

"..."

Veigar didn't know how to answer this question.

In the past, Vega would not mind using marriage as a "tool" to make Celis loyal to him, because in Vega's view, marriage can indeed guarantee a person's loyalty better than any other means, and it is more lasting.

In Vega's opinion.

When it comes to how to ensure one's loyalty, if blood ties come first, then marriage can come second.

But now Veigar can't do that.

Because he still wants to use Xia's marriage to achieve the goal of controlling the dynasty. If he marries Xilis at this stage, it means losing the possibility of marrying Xia. The Holy Dynasty has always practiced monogamy.

But Vega couldn't reject Silis directly.

After all, it was Celis who brought him these priceless treasures.

If he directly rejected Silisi here, then even if she didn't say it, she would inevitably be dissatisfied in her heart. If he wanted to use Silisi again in the future, he would have to think of ways to ensure her loyalty.

But before Vega could answer, Celis laughed out loud.

"Pfft."

Silis showed an extremely happy smile, and then reached out to smooth Vega's frown: "I was just joking with you. Well, I really like older and more reliable men. I am not interested in a 'boy' who is 4 years younger than me. As for my wish, please take some time to have dinner with me in the evening."

Although Vega's frown only lasted for a few seconds.

But Silis seemed to have completely seen through Vega's mind. More than a year of intrigue and deception made it easy for her to see through a person's heart, even if the other person was a high-ranking five-star admiral.

It is worth mentioning that Silis did not make things difficult for Vega.

This test also confirmed her inner guess that Vega was indeed plotting against the entire dynasty. To control the entire dynasty, the naive little queen was a threshold that could not be avoided no matter what. She knew that Xia was obviously more important than her.

A little jealous and disappointed.

When she first saw the queen at Yves Saint Laurent, she was attracted by her innocence.

It was hard to imagine that a king of a country could actually guarantee such innocence. From this, she could fully guess how much effort Vega had put into protecting Shia's innocence. At that moment, she really wanted to swap roles with Shia.

In her opinion.

If losing rights and country can be exchanged for protection like Vega, it is simply the best deal in the world.

It's a pity that some people are born with such bargaining chips, but she has to think about how to show her value as a tool so as not to be abandoned by Vega. Thinking of this, Silis became frustrated.

Vega saw Silis's frustrated expression.

He thought that Qi Lisi was frustrated because she didn't get a reply, so he quickly said, "Of course, no problem. I will ask the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner. I hope the beautiful Miss Qi Lisi will come and have dinner with us."

"My pleasure."

Silis gave a slight noble salute, then left the reception room and went to the room arranged by Vega to take a short rest.

When Celis left, Vega breathed a sigh of relief. "You've really grown a lot."

Vega sighed sincerely. In his conversation with Silis, he found that he was completely led by the other party. In the end, even his inner thoughts were completely tested by Silis.

However, Vega was glad that Silis understood.

The words just now indirectly told Vega that she had given up the engagement which was originally a stopgap measure. At the same time, she would bury the matter of the engagement in her heart and not reveal it to anyone, so as not to affect his plan.

Vega likes subordinates like this.

It is rare to find such a talented subordinate who is worry-free and labor-saving. Vega began to feel fortunate that he had no choice but to hand over the OECD to Celis. Without the decision at that time, he would not be able to get both the people and the money now.

With a happy mood, Vega began to handle official business.

This work lasted until the evening.

Vega arrived as promised, ready to have dinner with Silis. After all, this was Silis's wish, and he had to make time for it no matter how busy he was.

Tick ​​tick tick——

Time passes slowly.

Vega, who had already arrived at the restaurant, waited for ten minutes, but Silis still did not show up.

Just when he was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, a graceful figure appeared -

Celis Rodney.

She was wearing a black evening gown cut from the dark night. Her eyes that seemed to be smiling were like the nebulae in the sky. The scent of roses and her noble temperament like a queen were deadly poison to men.

This kind of poison would be hard to resist even with the mid-level combat skill of poison resistance, right?
Vega swallowed.

Then he motioned for Qi Lisi to sit down.

After Silis sat down, Vega signaled to the chef to serve the food.

After the dishes were served, Vega raised his glass and exchanged a few polite words with Qi Lisi before getting to the point: "Qilisi, if possible, could you tell me about your recent situation in the past year?"

Although it might sound like gossip, Vega was very curious.

Qi Lisi smiled and said, "Compared to you being so powerful in the war, my life here is very ordinary. I just wrestle with the high-ranking officials of the three major systems and play tricks on them. Although I lost the organization you founded several times, fortunately I got it back in the end. These are all things that are not worthy of being mentioned in public."

Having said this, Qi Lisi paused.

Then he said with some sadness: "Although the organization is gone now, you can rest assured. Before leaving the empire, I have used the power in my hands to cause as much trouble as possible to the empire. About 1/5 of the admirals and senior political officials in the imperial capital have died directly or indirectly in my hands. It's a pity that I can't find a way to get in through the trial system."

Although Silis said it calmly, Vega was sweating profusely after listening to it.

Especially the last sentence about killing one-fifth of the empire's senior political and military officials, which made Vega almost unable to believe his ears. Now Vega could fully imagine what a mess the imperial capital was in. The sudden loss of senior management was no joke.

What on earth has Qi Lisi experienced over the past year?
Vega didn't dare to ask too much. Behind the glamour, there must be scars that bleed profusely. A truly strong person would never show off his past. Those things that are glorious to others are just pain that they don't want to recall.

"Let's eat."

Vega smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

He picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece of steak, put it into his mouth, and began to chew slowly.

goo-dong-

After Vega swallowed the steak, he was about to talk to Celis about something to ease the atmosphere, but his expression changed.
