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

Chapter 972

Although she was very reluctant, Serita could only muster up the courage to stand up, holding Elena's hand and walking to her father's study.

Seeing this familiar scene, Serita couldn't help but recall the time when she fought here before. The memory at that time could only be regarded as somewhat painful, and it once became a psychological shadow.

It was also fortunate that Duke Luke could work in this environment. If it were Serita, she would never calm down and deal with things in this former nightmare place.

Standing in front of the door, Serita couldn't muster up any courage. She had agreed to go in and have a good talk with her father before, but she was a little backed off at this time.

Elena on the side didn't say anything, but just made a cheering gesture to Serita. This was all he could do. After all, he couldn't interfere too much in other people's family affairs.

Serita could only accept her fate and stood in front of the door. From here, she could even hear the voice of Duke Luke coming from the room.

What business is he dealing with now? Just the incident in the Duke's Mansion alone is probably enough to give him a headache for a while, not to mention that there are still many messy things waiting for him to deal with in the empire itself.

"Or... let's not disturb him? You see he is still working now."

Selita said with some retreat as if she had found an excuse, turned her head and smiled bitterly at Elena, wanting to escape at the last minute.

Dong! Dong!

Elena didn't say anything, but just stretched out her hand to knock on the door for Selita. These two things scared Selita, and she didn't make any psychological preparations at all.

"Come in."

Luke inside heard the noise and shouted in a somewhat impatient tone. He hated being disturbed when he was working, but at this time, someone came to knock on his door specifically, and he couldn't refuse directly.

Selita became panicked, with strange sweat on her head. She looked at the door and Elena for a while, and looked very anxious as she turned around in circles.

Elaina was not considerate enough at this time. She directly turned the door of the study and even pushed Serita in.

Such a rough action caused some dissatisfaction in Serita. She turned her head and wanted to complain, but she was stunned when she felt her father's sight.

At first, Luke heard such a big noise and was about to accuse the person who came to him of being so rude and disrespectful, but he looked up and saw his daughter's face.

But before he could change his expression on his face, the two of them met each other's eyes. Seeing her father's serious and slightly angry expression, Serita's blood was suppressed.

Standing there, she didn't dare to look at the other person. She was a little restless and didn't know how to speak.

She looked behind her with a look of help, but Elaina, who had promised to accompany her before, did not enter the room directly. She just leaned against the wall outside and waited quietly. He would think of taking action when something uncontrollable happened.

In order to distract her attention, Serita looked at the study room. A great battle had taken place here, but it had been completely repaired after more than half a month.

However, the books collected on the bookshelf on the wall were less than half of what she remembered. Most of them were damaged in the previous battle, and Duke Luke did not have time to deal with and replenish them in a short time.

It took a lot of effort to repair this study room. After all, the battle at that time was quite fierce, and the whole room was transformed into an insect nest.

The body fluids of the insects alone have spread all over the room. Just cleaning it up is enough to give people a headache. Serita felt a little dizzy when she thought about it. These memories really made people feel uncomfortable.

"Serita, what's the matter?"

In the end, Luke couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and took the initiative to start the topic.

"Nothing, can't I come over to see if it's okay?"

Luke has tried his best to make his tone sound calm, but in the ears of absent-minded Serita, he still heard the impatient voice.

So Serita still didn't speak properly, and responded in a somewhat cynical tone.

The Duke took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. To be honest, he had been working late these days, and his body and mind were in a very tired state.

In this situation, being disturbed by someone and the other party putting on such a bad face, he would feel impatient even if he had a good temper.

But the other party was his daughter after all, and Luke also wanted to repair the relationship with her as much as possible.So he planned to calm himself down, at least not to always put on a bad face like before.

"Yes, of course, you haven't visited my study yet, right? You can take a look around, and take any books you are interested in."

Luke tried his best to show his goodwill, and even took the initiative to invite Serita to visit his study.

You should know that Luke usually has high requirements for his work environment, and even the cleaning is specially entrusted to a few trusted servants.

He was very afraid that someone would disrupt the study environment, after all, this would directly affect his work efficiency. If something like this happened, his temper would definitely not be very good.

Now it doesn't matter if Serita is allowed to visit directly, or even let her disrupt it, but it can't be said that it doesn't matter, even if it matters, he has to hold it in, after all, he owes her.

Serita didn't reply, but just wandered around the study with a nonchalant look, pretending to look at the bookshelf.

In short, she didn't look Luke in the eye, wasting time meaninglessly, and didn't want to talk to her father.

This made Elaina outside the door a little anxious. If it goes on like this, it will just be a waste of time and things will not make any progress.

He didn't bring Serita here for this. If there is no progress, he will really leave these two people and leave by himself.

"Ahem!"

Elaina deliberately coughed twice outside the door, reminding Serita in the room to deal with the business quickly.

His voice was naturally heard by Luke sitting at the desk. The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon realized that Elaina was promoting the reconciliation between the father and daughter.

Serita showed a reluctant expression when she heard Elaina's voice, but she was still willing to listen to Elaina's words. She also understood that it was meaningless to continue like this. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to take the first step.

Thinking of this, Serita turned her head and looked at her father. This was the first time they looked at each other like this in the past half month.
