Already... there is nothing to be afraid of!

　　Night, at eight o'clock, Zirned stood in front of Prio Manor in a neat military uniform with a grim expression.

　　 He felt uneasy.

　　 Even if I told myself over and over again that I don't need to be afraid of the result, the uneasy mood still lingers in my heart, and it doesn't calm down.

　　 This is probably the difference between chasing one's future and submitting to desire, right?

　　 He was not so sure, and between doubts, he didn't know how many times he recalled his farewell with Siegfried.

　　 It didn't take long before the time had passed, it was at noon today, on that bustling central street.

　　 "Mr. Major."

　　 With dazzling sunlight on his shoulders, Ziegfeld's brilliance was as dazzling as usual, Zirned subconsciously looked away and bowed weakly in salute.

　　 "Mr. Narlo, I didn't expect such a coincidence..."

　　 "Is it a coincidence?" Yacharin smiled, "The teacher told me that the entire Central Street is the property of those celebrities, so there is no chance encounter here."

　　 "What Mr. Reynolds said is always difficult to refute."

　　 Zirned's utterly surpassed Acharin's expectations. He was taken aback for a moment, quickly adjusted his expression, and restarted the topic.

　　 "I didn't expect the teacher to be right... Can you tell me, which gentleman is your eyes and ears?"

　　 "It's a certain gentleman from the Port Authority. The Lucky Horseshoe was ordered to **** him, so he had some personal relationships."

　　 "He told you I was here, so you rushed over... Is there something to ask me? About Ai... Miss Emily?"

"Yes. Coming out of the manor last night, I tried to send an invitation to the lady, but failed." Zirned smiled bitterly. "The lady refused my invitation, although she didn't explain the reason, but sure enough, only you were in her heart. s position."

　　 "Are you jealous?"

"How is it possible!" Zirned hurriedly denied, "Mr. is an angel sent to the world by God, and even his soul is pure and innocent. I have never expected myself to be compared with you. Really, after meeting you, Miss Ruo I still think I have merits, I will only think that the young lady is incomprehensible."

"Then why are you telling me?" Yacharin was still soft-spoken, "Want to tell me that you are ashamed of yourself, so you want to keep the gentleman's last face, and treat me and Miss Emily bless?"

"Yes, it is."

　　 "It really disappoints me, Mr. Major."

　　 Zirned raised his head in shock, only to realize that at some point, the smile on Acharin's face had long since disappeared.

"gentlemen……"

"You have misunderstood one thing, Mr. Major. The French never give way to other people's love and desires, and I don't care if you can get Miss Emily's love. The reason why I give in is only because I want you both. To have a better life."

　　 "A better life?"

"A high-ranking naval star, a young girl with a happy marriage, this is the memory I hope to stay in Le Lorin. I don't want your life to be messed up because of meeting me, and I don't want to be happy overnight. , Leaving behind a poor woman who may never meet again, so I can fulfill you."

　　Acharin’s words were tinged with a touch of sadness, and the syllables entangled into a sharp arrow, which pierced into Zirned’s heart.

　　 Zirned believes that this is the pain that Siegfried is suffering.

　　 "Sir, you don't have to be like this..."

"I have made a decision. My ship will leave the port tonight, and the next stop is Fort-de-France. I heard that Admiral Marni of the New World Fleet happened to be there for some reason? I have to meet this uncle , I will probably recommend one or two outstanding naval rookies to him."

　　 "You are going to see Admiral Marni? Leaving tonight?"

"Is it weird? I like Le Lorraine, and I don't want to stay any longer." Acharin smiled. "In my impression, Admiral Marni is an old-fashioned and stubborn nobleman. I just don't know these years. I haven't seen him, has his family theory changed a little..."

　　 The memory came to an abrupt end, Zirned sighed softly.

The noon conversation ended in such an atmosphere of unfulfilled meaning. Siegfried is as proficient in words as every truly noble person. They can always express their opinions accurately while not overly swaying others. Thought.

　　 The final decision is still left to Zirned.

　　 Is it to give up this hard-won opportunity in order to chase the emptiness of love, or to gamble on everything to change the trajectory of one's life?

　　 He chose the latter in the end.

　　 "Mr.'s ship left the port half an hour ago. The news that he left without saying goodbye should have reached Miss Emily's ears."

　　 "This is the time when the young lady is most vulnerable. As long as I can persuade Sir Prio to accept my admission, even if there is no love, the sad young lady will not refuse..."

　　 "This is the last chance that my husband created for me...no failure allowed!"

　　 "The kindness owed to Mr. and the hurt to the lady, I can only repay with my life's loyalty! Sorry, Miss Emily."

　　 Like a demon whispering in his ear, Zirned finally tightened his mind and strengthened his conviction.

　　 He raised his head high, raised his hand, and rang the doorbell by the door.

　　 "The New World Fleet of the Kingdom of France belongs to the Atlantic Defence Squadron, Captain Nessi Zirned of the Lucky Horseshoe, and meets with Sir Prio, Speaker of the Le Lorraine region. Please inform us!"

　　……

　　 At the same time, on the west side of the manor.

　　 Henna leaped lightly over the high fence, leaned down and lay down on the soft grass and looked around.

　　 There is no shadow of activity everywhere.

This is normal.

　　 Le Lorraine is a peaceful town that cannot be called rich. The Prio Manor is built in the center of a densely populated town, and it is far better than most remote plantations in terms of security.

Just out of the need to guard against theft, Sir Prio didn’t need to arrange too intensive patrols and hounds in his manor. My own eyes found it clear that the manor only had two sets of guards in the front and back gatehouses, each of which consisted of two persons and one dog. The interval between patrols was as long as an hour, which was nothing.

　　 Henna easily sneaked into the west wall closest to the mansion. After confirming safety, she immediately sent a signal outside the wall.

　　 Not long after, Lorraine, Pierce, and Acharin, who was in a full dress, stepped over the high wall one after another.

The four gathered together in silence, and Lorraine said in a deep voice: "Henna monitors the front door, I monitor the back door, Pierce set up a shooting point here to guard the back road to prevent accidents. Acharin, I know Miss Emily. Your room?"

Acharin smiled evilly: "Captain, do you ask me if I mistake a lady’s boudoir? My answer is absolutely no. In my long life, I have been in countless boudoirs, but when I entered the room, I was not busy. The master's boudoir was overthrown, but this one was the only one, it was of great significance to me!"

　　 "I don't know why, I suddenly want to see Miss Emily throw you off the balcony..."

　　 Lorraine smashed his mouth.

"Not much gossip, Major Collingwood wrote back that he and Admiral Nelson have set up the net. Bell told me five minutes ago that Zirned had entered the manor, so the final action began. It is now 8:05. At 11:30, we will meet again on the Golden Deer and take care of each other."

"Yes, sir!"

　　 "So, act!"
