Adair's eyes are now getting used to the darkness.

Adair looked up and down at the figure that suddenly popped out of the corner.

The figure is a petite girl with soft black hair and golden eyes.

"First meeting, Lord Adair."

The golden-eyed girl gave a ceremony to Adair the Britannian Empire and introduced herself to Adair in fluent Sheran.

"My name is Vivian O'Brien."

"O'Brien?" Adale raised his eyebrows, "Are you from that 'genius family'?"

"Your Excellency is extremely honorable to know my family."

Adair is now gradually recovering from the panic he had just now.

Adair looked up and down with a calm gaze.

"...How did you come in? What's the point of asking me for you, Britannian?"

"The spies in the Britannian Empire are very good at sneaking in and helping others sneak into some houses where the defense is not tight."

Vivian answered in ambiguous words how she sneaked into his room.

"As for what I, the Britannian, have to ask you for..."

Speaking of this, a strange smile appeared on Vivian's face.

"His Excellency Adair, the words and sentences you used just now are too unfamiliar with in this question, right?"

"Aren't you also a Britannian?"

"nonsense!"

As soon as Vivian finished speaking, Adal yelled like a nervous person:

"I am not a Britannian! I am a Sheeran! I am a Sheeran!!"

"Is that?" Vivian smiled and shrugged, "But your colleagues around you don't seem to regard you as a fellow countryman."

"Um..." Vivian's words made Adale speech frustrated and his teeth were gritted tightly.

As if he was staying at his own home, Vivian walked to the small table next to Adal, pulled open another chair for the small round table, and sat down.

While sitting down on this chair, Vivian also placed the things he had just grasped in his hand on this small round table.

This thing that Vivian had been holding in his hand just now was something wrapped in cloth. Because it was wrapped tightly, outsiders could not see what was contained in the cloth bag.

"Mr. Adair."

Vivian then spoke.

"Your current life is really a failure."

"Born in the north and growing up in the north, I have always regarded myself as a Sheeran, but the people around me have never regarded you as a compatriot."

"No matter how hard you try or how you prove yourself, your colleagues around you still regard you as a Britannian, constantly excluding you and discriminating against you."

"...Shut up..." Adale, who buried his head low, murmured.

"It's fine if you're excluded by your colleagues, it's fine if you're discriminating, but you didn't expect that even your wife will be taken away by someone."

"Get married 1 year ago and was stolen half a year ago. The happy marriage lasted only half a year."

"As a general in the northern country, he has been working hard to defend the country, but in the end his wife was snatched away by the nobles of the country he defended. It's really ironic to think about it."

"You must be desperate when your wife was stolen by Duke Zishuval, right?"

"…Shut up." Adal's tone became higher than before.

The dagger in his hand also slowly clenched.

"His Excellency Adair, your current life is simply terrible."

"His Excellency Adair, to put it bluntly, you are now the perfect laughing stock that can adjust the atmosphere and create jokes and topics when chatting."

"……Shut up!"

Adair let out a loud roar.

He approached Vivian with a quick step, put the dagger in his hand horizontally and placed it on Vivian's neck.

"I'm not a laughing stock!"

Facing Adal, who suddenly approached her and the sharp dagger that was standing on her neck, Vivian remained calm.

"You who dare to put your dagger at an unarmed girl, and you dare to say that it is not a laughing stock?" Vivian asked in a calm tone.

"I……"

Vivian's words seemed to break Adele's whole body. Her words had locked all the joints of Adele like a vine.

Adair's body began to tremble slightly.

Finally, Adal let out a bitter howl of pain, threw away the dagger in his hand, and then knelt on the ground and sobbed silently.

Vivian, sitting in the chair, looked down at Diadel, kneeling on the ground and sobbing.

Vivian is waiting.

Waiting for Adal's emotions to calm down.

After crying for a while, Adair slowly stopped his tears and calmed down his emotions.

After Adal's sob stopped, a small hand holding a handkerchief reached in front of him.

"Please use it." Vivian said softly to Adal.

"...Thank you." Perhaps he was moved by Vivian's tenderness at this moment. While thanking Vivian softly, Adele took the handkerchief handed to Vivian.

As Adair wiped the tears from his face, Vivian continued to whisper to Adair:

"Your Excellency Adele, you must be very unwilling to give up now, right?"

"No matter how hard you try, you won't get the recognition of the people around you."

"Separate from the wife's forced."

"His Excellency Adair, you must be very unwilling to what you have happened now, right?"

"..." Adair fell silent.

After a while, Adale said in a deep voice:

“…that’s more to say.”

Adair gritted his teeth.

"Although I feel very unwilling to give in, it's a pity - you, Mr. Adele, do not have the ability to take revenge."

"Whether you want to gain the recognition and respect of people around you or to steal your wife back, with your current strength, you can't do these two things above."

"But--we can lend you strength."

"I came for this."

"His Excellency Adal, join the Britannian Empire."

Vivian's words made Adal's eyes widen.

"Join...the Empire of Britannia?"

"That's right." Vivian nodded with a smile, "Although we can't help you gain recognition and respect from your colleagues, we can help you teach these people who don't respect you a lesson."

"Not only that, we can also help you grab your wife back. We can also help you catch the Duke of Chishuval and let you deal with this person who has brought you shame."

"In addition to helping you with revenge, we can also give you a little 'little reward'."

After saying that, Vivian began to slowly untie the cloth bag she had just placed on the round table.

As the cloth bag slowly unravels, the things inside also reveal their true colors.

It was a bunch of golden things.

The next moment he unbuttoned the cloth bag, its golden light illuminated the dim house a little.
