There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

It was not easy for her to get angry with Talia here. Besides, this was a library, and if a conflict arose, it would definitely attract the guards, which would not be worth the risk.

Just write it down for now!

"Thank you for taking care of my sister, Miss Aphrodite."

Pulling Talia to her front, Tallulah put her arm around her shoulders, leaning close to her, declaring her sovereignty.

"It's okay. Miss Talia is very cute and has a great appreciation for poetry. We have a great time getting along well together."

Big fire!

What on earth happened during the time I was away? ! ! !

"Sorry, I think I broke your pen... How much is it? I'll compensate you..."

The strange atmosphere between Tallulah and Avdotka did not affect Talia at all. After thinking about it for a long time, she helplessly discovered that this pen, which looked very expensive, had lost its function.

Although she was a little reluctant, Talia still rummaged through her schoolbag, preparing to take out the money she had used to buy clothes to see if it was enough to compensate Avdotga.

She had just taken a careful look and didn't see any logo on the pen. There were only two possibilities: either the pen was a generic brand, or it was custom-made.

Considering Afdoka's identity, it definitely cannot be the former, so it can only be custom-made.

I hope the other party bids less...

"Hmm? Let me do it, Miss Aphrodite. How much is it?"

Stopping Talia, Tallulah took out her wallet from her pocket and prepared to pay the compensation for Talia. After all, she also had a responsibility in this, and she would not escape.

Looking at the two people scrambling to pay, Avdotka smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Touching Talia, who looked in pain, Afdoka's hand ran through Talia's hair, enjoying the soft touch.

"It's okay, it's just a pen, not worth much. I'll give it to Talia as a souvenir of our fate!"

With a wave of her hand, Avdotja exempted Talia from compensation.

To her, it's just a pen. Although it's custom-made, it doesn't mean much. She customized it to use for writing, not as a commemoration, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.

Moreover, Afdoka was so happy to meet Talia, a fellow enthusiast who also had unique insights into poetry that how could she let their relationship be ruined because of a pen?

"Is this okay..."

Hesitantly, Talia looked at Afdoga, and her pitiful little face instantly melted Afdoga's heart.

"Yeah! We had a great day today, didn't we? If you worry too much about gains and losses, your mood will be affected, right?"

"This pen..."

As she spoke, Avdotka took the pen from Talia, put the cap back on, fastened it, and then hung it on Talia's clothes with her own hands.

"Just consider it as proof of our friendship!"

Patting Talia on the head, Afdoka put away the notebook on the table and distanced herself from Talia.

Because she felt a gaze that was seeking to devour her, if she continued like this, something bad might happen.

It seems their relationship is not simple...

Because of Tallulah's strange mood, Avdotka keenly felt that the relationship between Talia and Tallulah was not just sisters as Tallulah said.

But she had no intention of exposing it.

Everyone in this world has secrets, and it’s not good to know too much.

It’s better to keep some mystery, so that it will be interesting when you get along with each other.

"Well, goodbye, Miss Talia, Ms. Fili, I look forward to our next meeting!"

Picking up the open poetry book, Avdoga said goodbye to the two and left.

Looking at Afdoka's back, Tallulah's anger continued to rise.

Every move of this noble woman reveals her extraordinary identity. The fountain pen with a casing made of D32 steel was given as a gift.

Could she be the Marquis' daughter?

Thinking of Veronica's words, Tallulah seemed to have grasped a clue.

If it really is...

Maybe I can write some articles...

Taking the pen off her clothes, Talia solemnly put it into her small schoolbag. The pen looked very valuable and she might be able to make a small profit if she sold it.

"Talulah? Are you done? Can you come shopping with me? I still need to buy some clothes for Froststar and Mr. Patriot!"

Talia urged, pulling on Tallulah's clothes.

The only item on Talulah's schedule was to exchange information with Veronica. Now that the information has been exchanged, all that's left is free time!

"When you're done, go get something to eat first, then go."

Pulling Talia out of the library door, the warm sunlight shone through the clouds onto them, dispelling the coldness that had seeped into Talia's bones from the tundra.

"Back~"

Pulling on Tallulah's sleeves, Talia swayed from side to side and acted coquettishly.

Without refusing, Tallulah squatted in front of Talia, put her arms behind her back, and waited for Talia to climb onto her back.

Talia's weight was completely negligible to her, so she just regarded it as fulfilling the little wish of this big kid.

I'm running around in the team, so it's impossible that I can't even meet such a small request, right?

Lying on top of Tallulah, Talia rested her head on Tallulah's shoulder, face to face with hers.

"What do you want to eat? Dundelke has quite a lot of specialties."

Turning her head, Talula wanted to ask Talia's opinion, but she forgot that Talia was lying on her shoulder.

As they turned around, their lips met.

Wiping her mouth nonchalantly, Talia put her arms around Tallulah's neck, then crossed her arms and let them hang in front of Tallulah's chest.

"Listen to you!"

The clear sound like a bird's chirping in her ears made Tallulah stunned for a moment, and then a thin layer of pink appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

Licking her lips, Tallulah carried Talia on her back and walked towards the food street in Dundelk.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the unpleasantness with Avdotka just now disappeared completely due to Talia's unintentional action.

She touched Talia on her back, and the soft touch gave her a false sense of reality.

If only there were no mineral sickness...

Volume 3: Chapter 48: The Source of Contradiction

As a trading city, it's not just Ursus who live in Dundelk.

Its trading nature means that it must accommodate other existences. People from Yan Country, Syracuse, Letania, Colombia, etc. can find their traces in Dundelk.

It might be a restaurant or a shop of some kind. Talia even saw Originium Cloud hand sanitizer produced in Casimir.

"so big!"

Looking at the towering buildings on the street, Talia sighed.

Dundelk was far more developed than she had imagined, and everything here was different from what she had expected.

"That Duke is quite powerful, isn't he? He controls such a mobile city and manages it so well."

There were endless shops along the street, and on the clean streets, bustling crowds passed by Talia, their hurried figures adding vitality to the city.

"The Duke of Nevsky, a war noble from Ursus, survived the Great Rebellion and must have some capable men under his command."

But their attitude towards the infected is no different from that of other nobles.

She added this silently in her heart, without a trace of emotion in Tallulah's eyes.

Having received Kosciuszko's education, she has a clear understanding of the situation in Ursus.

During the previous emperor's time, Ursus had long been in a state of external expansion through war. The empire, which fought wars in the south and the north, destroyed one enemy after another.

The victor's territory and people grew larger and larger in the continuous wars.

During the long war, the people who benefited the most within the empire were the nobles who followed the former Emperor Vladimir of Ursus to fight.

The Duke of Mount Neva is one of them.

During the time of the previous emperor, these nobles united around Vladimir and obeyed his orders.

But do all the nobles love Vladimir from the bottom of their hearts?

the answer is negative!

The reason they obeyed Vladimir was simply profit!

Vladimir needed them to expand his territory and acquire more land and people for Ursus, and these nobles could follow behind Vladimir and wait for an opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

The nobles obtained a large amount of resources, territory and manpower through war. Even now, the rule and prestige of these war nobles in their own jurisdictions are enough to compete with the Ursus Central Government!

Under this tempting benefit, the sharp knife that was once pointed at the enemy turned around and stabbed into the body of the former comrade.

The frequent news of victory covered up these ugly wounds and prevented them from being exposed.

But the truth will eventually come out. The military defeat represented by the Battle of Blood Peak ended the legend of Ursus's unwavering victory, and the contradictions within Ursus were also brewing.

In the end, Vladimir's sudden death became the fuse of these conflicts, and the great rebellion began!

The young Ursus Emperor Fyodor took over the crown from his father, but what he led now was no longer the giant who was good at fighting, but a crumbling high-rise building.

The old nobles openly followed Fyodor's lead, but privately they sneered at the young emperor, which made it difficult for the empire's orders to be implemented in their jurisdiction.

The nobles divided Ursus into several parts, which were ruled by the Grand Duke and various army groups. In these areas, the nobles were the real emperors!

Under this quasi-feudal system, a lot of corruption was nurtured. In areas where the central control of Ursus was weak, they unscrupulously oppressed the people in the name of the emperor and used the imperial laws to do evil!

The huge profits seized by these nobles and armies naturally aroused the envy of others and the dissatisfaction of the Ursus central government.

Since the Battle of Blood Peak, the newly rising nobles have been trying every possible way to limit the power of the war nobles, and Emperor Fyodor has also been trying every possible way to take back the territories and rights controlled by the war nobles.

However, how could the hound, having tasted blood, be willing to return to its previous life of being commanded by orcs?

The increasingly sharp contradiction between the two eventually led to the intensification of the conflict, which was the outbreak of the Great Rebellion.

The initiators of the great rebellion were naturally the war nobles whose cake was touched. They targeted Fyodor, intending to place the newly crowned emperor under house arrest and force the central government to recognize their existing privileges so that they could maintain their prestige and rule in their jurisdiction, and even seek more benefits.

But their actions were ultimately rebellion, and they were nominally untenable, and they encountered resistance from various interest groups headed by the new aristocracy, that is, the royalists.

In addition, there are some neutral nobles.

The Duke of Mount Neva is one of them!

The astute Duke realized that if the nobles who participated in the great rebellion were killed, part of their wealth would flow into his own pocket!

Driven by interests, he resolutely participated in this war!

At the end of the war, Fyodor and the royalists won, and the Duke of Mount Nevsky got what he wanted.

But even so, their war did not solve the problems left over from the previous emperor's time.

The infection control law is still in effect in Ursus.

After so many years of subtle influence, discrimination against infected people has become politically correct in Ursus and is deeply engraved in the bones of the Ursus people.

Even if Fyodor wanted to solve these problems, he didn't know where to start.

The law has been integrated into Ursus and has become part of this giant bear. To remove it, a drastic change must take place!

But Ursus could no longer withstand such drastic changes.

Even if they don't want to admit it, there is an indelible fact in the hearts of the Ursus people.

They are afraid of the infected!

Any attempt to liberate the infected will be misinterpreted as confrontation with the people. In this difficult situation, even Fyodor can only postpone matters related to the infected.

The nobles were no exception. Even if some of them had different opinions about the infected, they could only keep these thoughts to themselves.

Once they reveal their differences, they will be attacked by everyone!

Greedy political opponents don’t care why their enemies fall; they only care about whether wealth flows into their own pockets.

Shaking her head, Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief, shaking away all the thoughts about Kosice from her mind.

Although this old black snake is insidious and cunning, it must be said that he knows the situation in Ursus very well. Under Kosice's education, Tallulah also learned a lot.
