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

Chapter 971

Watching the head maid leave from his sight, Elena couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Selita's childhood may not be as painful as imagined, there are still many people around her who love her.

It's just that this love seems a little too heavy, which is really hard for a child to accept.

Whether it is the head maid or the Duke himself, their love for Selita is too strict, and they don't know how to adapt or give Selita some space to relax.

Elena smiled bitterly and shook his head. It's useless to entangle these now. The past is over, and there is no point in discussing it now.

Thinking of this, Elena left the back garden. He needed to find another place to kill time. It seemed a little too boring to stay alone.

Time passed quickly, and it was evening in the blink of an eye. Under the arrangement of the head maid, Selita spent a "fulfilling" day.

When she finally had some free time, she collapsed on Elena's thighs, buried her head in her arms, and shook her legs like a spoiled child.

"Today was really terrible!"

Selita complained loudly, and after saying this, she looked up and looked around to prevent the head maid from eavesdropping nearby.

After confirming that the other party was not nearby, Selita began to complain endlessly, pouring out all the grievances she suffered in her childhood to everyone.

Everyone, including Elena, couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard about Selita's childhood. In the eyes of outsiders, Selita did have a hard time when she was a child, and it was no wonder that she couldn't help wanting to run away from home.

But Elena, who knew a little about the inside story, had a different opinion, but she couldn't agree with the head maid and the Duke's approach.

As if she was tired of making trouble, Selita stopped tossing and turning, lying on Elena's thighs and staring at the other's profile, and the whole person gradually became a little absent-minded.

In fact, Serita could accept such a life. As long as she could see Elena every day, it didn't matter if she lived a "fulfilling" life.

But there was one thing that made it difficult for her to accept, because all the education she received from the beginning seemed to be for the so-called political marriage. She felt very dissatisfied and irritated when she thought that she was working hard for others.

Although the Duke was not in a hurry to find a fiancé for Serita now, nor did he say that Serita must get married, the past made Serita think so, so that she didn't want to talk to her father.

Observing Serita with her peripheral vision, Elena could see Serita's mental journey at the moment from the changes in her facial expressions and understood what she was struggling with.

Normally, Elena would be willing to give her time to slowly adjust her mentality, but now Elena is afraid that she doesn't have this patience.

Because half a month has passed, there is still no news from the Kingdom of Solens.

Logically speaking, Vivi was "kidnapped" by Sofia, and Elena should have been in a state of panic. Even if she didn't know where Vivi was, she should have rushed to Elena to report.

But in half a month, Elena didn't hear any news about the Brave Team, and she didn't see Elena and her team coming over after waiting for so long.

They didn't even send anyone to inquire. Even though Elena said at the beginning that they were going to the Principality, it was easy to find out that they were in the Empire. There was enough time for Elena to send someone over.

But now no one came to pass on the information, as if Elena was also dragged down by something and couldn't get away for a while.

But what happened that made Elena unable to even take care of Vivi's affairs? The more Elena wanted to figure it out, the more anxious he became. After all, he really had no clue.

He couldn't stay here any longer. He needed to go back to the Kingdom of Solens to at least know the situation there and Elena's situation, otherwise it would be difficult for him to feel at ease.

Elena even began to regret parting with Elena. After dealing with one side, she had to care about the other side. Elena wished she could split herself and use herself as two people.

So Serita's affairs had to be dealt with as soon as possible, even if Serita was not ready yet. Even if Serita still couldn't muster up the courage by then, Elena could only leave her here alone and set off first.

After all, judging from the current atmosphere, it was impossible for the Duke not to keep his daughter for some time. It was rare for them to reunite and solve all this. The father and daughter didn't even have a serious word.I haven't said anything.

Under this circumstance, the Duke must be worried about letting Serita leave, and he himself doesn't want Serita to leave. It is obviously difficult to persuade such an old father, which requires corresponding eloquence and time, but Elena doesn't want to think about it at all.

So Elena plans to talk to Serita tonight, and the others have already communicated in advance, and they went back to their rooms first with various reasons. In the blink of an eye, only Elena and Serita were left in the entire living room.

The rare time alone made Serita feel very happy, and her movements became bolder. She was still playing with Elena's hair in the last second, and reached out to touch Elena's body in the next second.

"Serita."

At this moment, Elena called Serita's name, which frightened the latter so much that she shuddered and took back her hand guiltily. She obviously misunderstood Elena and thought that he was dissatisfied with her touching.

"What...what happened?"

Selita's eyes were a little empty, and she didn't dare to look directly into Elena's eyes. She lay obediently on Elena's thighs and even had the desire to get up.

"Regarding the matter between you and your father, I think it's time to make a conclusion."

What Selita didn't expect was that Elena mentioned the person she least wanted to mention at the moment.

Selita fell silent instantly. It's not that she didn't think Elena would urge her in this regard, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

"I...I'm not ready yet."

Just as Elena thought, Selita would use this excuse to delay time, but since he opened his mouth, this matter would not be solved so easily.

"I know you're not ready yet, but we don't have time..."

Elena told Selita the reason she had prepared long ago. The matter on Elena's side made this side very worried.

Selita, who had sorted out the cause and effect, also understood this point, and the whole person began to feel a sense of urgency.
