I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 964

On the other side, here in Elena, Weiwei had just finished lunch, and everyone was about to get up from the sofa to enjoy lunch, when Serita rushed over from outside and threw herself into Elena's arms without saying a word.

Elena, who was about to stand up, was forced to sit back. Looking down at the girl occupying his thigh, he was a little shocked and didn't know how to react for a while.

"What's wrong, are you wronged?"

After a moment of hesitation, Elena reached out and patted Serita's head with a bitter smile on his face.

He vaguely remembered that Serita said this morning that she would take care of her father, but in just one morning, she rushed over with such a broken look.

"No."

Serita said this very stubbornly, not wanting to admit that she was wronged. In fact, she really didn't suffer any grievances, but she saw that her father was holding back a lot of anger and didn't know how to vent it.

"You should know that some things really can't be blamed entirely on your father."

Elena said with a wry smile, knowing that Serita still couldn't let go of the Duke and Pandora, but rationally speaking, this was indeed Pandora's problem, and the Duke was forced to do it.

Serita didn't say anything about this, but buried her head in Elena's arms. The whole person was like a punching bag, the kind that couldn't get better without someone coaxing her.

Elena looked at Weiwei helplessly, and the latter could only smile and shake her head. Everyone knew who Serita needed.

This is not what I am good at.

Elena complained in his heart, but his hand was still gently stroking Serita's hair. As a half-dragon of the white dragon, his instinct made him better at comforting others.

Serita, lying on Elena's thigh, was like returning to her mother's arms. The whole person was at ease, and the emotions gradually calmed down.

But she still looked like she didn't want to talk. The Duke and Pandora's incident had dealt her too much of a blow, and she couldn't recover in a short time.

Elena had no choice but to sit there, taking the lunch handed over by Weiwei, eating it herself while feeding Serita in her arms. The other party got a little too much after tasting the sweetness, and began to lie on Elena's legs and refused to leave.

In the afternoon, the Duke got up from his bed. In addition to what he did to Serita when he was controlled, he also learned about the damage to the Duke's Mansion from Joey.

Most of the servants died tragically in this incident, and only a small number of ordinary people had the possibility of saving their lives because their bodies were not eaten too much by insects.

Fortunately, Elena did not skimp on her ability, and tried her best to treat these people with Weiwei and Sofia, and all the servants who could be saved recovered.

However, what happened this time was too much of a blow to ordinary people. They also needed some time to recover their spirits, so they were not allowed to continue working in the Duke's Mansion, and they were asked to rest as much as possible.

The Duke also learned a lot about Elena from Joey. The powerful dragon slayer from the Kingdom of Sorens, the hero who repelled the Demon King's army several times, and the most outstanding young man of the contemporary era, all these titles made the Duke admire him very much.

Even though he was once the most powerful adventurer in the empire and had such a powerful title, compared with Elena now, these titles seemed a little bleak. After all, when he was young, he was completely inferior to Elena.

Now he said he would meet Elena, even if it was just superficial work, he had to thank Elena.

After all, without Elena's existence, the Duke's Mansion would be completely finished. Neither he nor his daughter Serita would be able to see the sun the next day.

So even though he was still a little uncomfortable, the Duke came to the living room not far away with the help of Joey, opened the door and walked in, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The daughter that he had been thinking about was now lying on the lap of Elena, a man, and the two looked very close to each other.

This was too much of a shock for a father, and the Duke didn't know how to react for a while, and only felt a little dizzy.

Elena was also frightened. She didn't expect the Duke to show up at this time, and he bumped into her and Serita in this state.

Serita was also a little frightened and felt a little embarrassed, but she reacted quickly and stuffed her face into Elena's arms, not wanting to see her father's face at all, and even deliberately angered the other party.

When he saw the Duke, Elena wanted to greet him loudly according to etiquette, but Serita's behavior at the moment made him not know what to do, and he couldn't stand up at all.

"Ahem...you are the heroes who saved the Duke's Mansion, right? Hello, I am the Duke of the Empire, my name is Luke. Here I sincerely thank you for saving the entire Duke's Mansion and saving so many lives."

It can only be said that the Duke is really a man who has seen a lot of ups and downs. Even though his daughter was close to another man in front of him, which made him feel very shocked, he quickly calmed down after a short period of emotional control.

He expressed his gratitude to Elena in an official and flawless way, and his tone was quite sincere, enough to make people feel his sincerity.

"Um... You're welcome. This is what we should do. As friends of Serita, we have sufficient reasons to come and help. After all, Serita has helped us a lot in our daily lives."

The Duke's official attitude calmed Elena down, and she responded to Duke Luke's words with the same polite words.

But this was somewhat against her will. After all, in Elena's impression, Serita was often mischievous and troublesome. Although she helped a lot, the impression could not be changed.

Elena's words against her will made him feel very hypocritical, but after all, in front of someone else's father, he had to praise Serita as a daughter.

Although Serita did not go to see her father, she listened carefully to their conversation, even afraid of missing some details, such as her father or Elena saying bad things about her.

Obviously, neither the Duke nor Elena would easily reveal their true thoughts on this occasion. At least, they would not discuss Serita's faults in person, which made their words sound somewhat meaningless.
