Master of Thermodynamics

Renault thought that Miss Arrietty would be like a little girl being watched by the old gangster, withdrawing her hand hastily and leaving Renault immediately.

However, to his surprise, Arrietty didn't even shake her fingers, but just let his claws touch her hand motionless.

Not only that, she also smiled charmingly at Renault, showing a pitiful expression:

"Your Excellency Renault, in my heart, you are a respectable wise man and a gentleman of good conduct. You treat a lady like this... Is it really good?"

Renault said in his heart, this little girl actually has the face to call herself a "lady"?

Will a lady pretend to be a fool to deceive others? This girl is more cunning than he thought, and she is extremely good at using female gender advantages and her own beauty.

Renault decided to return the color.

Not only did he fail to constrain, he clenched Arrietty's slender hand more vigorously, and clasped her fingers together. Their movements seemed extremely intimate, but he said cold, ruthless, shameless words:

"Miss Alietti, I am a businessman, not a gentleman. I am thinking, what price do I have to spend to make you my lover?"

Arrietty was taken aback and could no longer maintain her coquettish expression. She stared at Renault fiercely, and her right hand began to work hard, trying to get rid of Renault's nasty big hand.

However, her movements are very concealed, obviously because they may be noticed by others. Although the two deliberately picked a darker corner, if the movements are too intense, they will definitely be noticed by other people in the rest area.

Once this happens, Arrietty's reputation as an unmarried noble girl will definitely be affected.

Dancing at the prom is an open and honest communication, no one will criticize anything, but you are pulling and pulling with a man in private, what is it like?

Because of this, Renault, this shameless guy, has the courage to lay hands on Arrietty, to put it bluntly, this behavior at the moment is no different from the waves of the bus on the earth.

Seeing Renault's unwillingness to let go, Arrietty's pretty face became cold. She stopped struggling and said coldly:

"Your Excellency Renault, my grandfather Duke Castro is still in the castle, I think you should not be willing to alarm him..."

Renault chuckled lightly, and said playfully:

"Miss Arrietty, don't you think I was joking just now?"

Arrietty's expression became more and more ugly, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Renault, are you humiliating me? I'm the granddaughter of a duke, not one of those cousins ​​who let people play around..."

In anger, she didn't even want to add the word "Your Excellency", and started calling Renault's name directly.

Renault reduced the frivolousness on his face and said sternly:

"Miss Alietti, don't the Castro family need to retreat? Or do you think the Thousand Lake Kingdom can stop the Black Orcs army? Or the three human kingdoms of the Xinghai Continent can stop it?"

Arrietty's face suddenly changed, her Jiao stiffened suddenly, and her face became uncertain.

In the previous lunch, she had heard of "Hai Chao Ling" from Renault.

She knew that Renault’s words were right. Even if the remaining five human kingdoms were united, they could not resist the Black Orcs. In a sense, the "Tide Neck" located in the depths of the ocean might be the most ideal. refuge.

Renault suddenly released his right hand, stood up, and walked to the wooden table with drinks in the middle of the rest area. After a few steps, he stopped abruptly and said without looking back:

"Miss Alietti, you can tell the Duke of Castro what I just said..."

Arrietty looked up at Renault's back, and when she was about to say something, she heard another sentence.

"Of course, the term'lover' is really just a joke..."

"You..." Arrietty stared at Renault stiffly, her chest rising and falling violently with anger, and the pair of towering chests accompanied by slight tremors of breathing, looked strange.

Renault won this round of confrontation between men and women.

Although it has only been a day since he came to Leiyunbao, he already felt that under the calm appearance of this town, there was actually a turbulent undercurrent lurking.

Renault knew very well that there must be some reason for the sudden goodwill of the Duke of Castro. This abnormal phenomenon made him see a subtle thing, that is, the Duke's control of Thundercloud Castle and the noble coalition may not necessarily be so great. firm.

That's why he deliberately played with Arrietty and used her to test the Duke.

There is no direct conflict of interest between Renault and the Duke. If the two sides can form an alliance, it will definitely be beneficial to each other.

The Duke can have an extra retreat, and he can also provide a strong Austrian aid in the north, so that the "Dunkirk" project can proceed more smoothly.

After arriving in front of the wooden table, Renault drank three glasses of wine in a row. His impolite manner naturally attracted the attention of others, and he even vaguely felt that someone was pointing at his back.

But Reynolds didn't care at all. Anyway, there would be no blind idiots who jumped out to provoke him, at most they just laughed secretly.

From the dramatist of Arietti, he already knew that after these nobles were glued to their fur, they were all better than monkeys. How could they offend a powerful wind system for no reason?

After Renault finished the third cup, he looked in the direction of the dance floor and looked at the sparse crowd on the dance floor. He couldn't help but shook his head.

This is where he feels most disappointed about the ball-too few girls.

Due to the growing dark clouds of the war, many nobles in Leiyun Castle have moved their families to the south. This has directly caused the number of ladies and ladies attending the dance to be greatly reduced. Many people can't even find a dancing partner, so they have to stay in the rest area to chat.

He secretly slandered, "Duke Castro is really a big liar, and his labor and management pants have been taken off. Why would you just show me this?"

Somewhat strangely, this ball was called by the Duke in name, but until now, Renault has not seen the Duke appear. This shows that the ball is just to hide the eyes and ears, and the real purpose of the Duke is to do private work under the guise of the ball.

At this moment, Renault's spiritual sense suddenly told him that someone was watching him somewhere on the dance floor, and he immediately turned his head to look away.

I saw Arrietty putting her hand on the shoulder of an aristocratic young man, and dancing foxtrot briskly, but this little girl was obviously absent-minded, not thinking about dancing at all.

Obviously, Arrietty was very popular in this hall, and Renault had just left, and someone immediately asked her to dance.

When Renault looked at Arrietty, she happened to look at him from the aristocratic youth. The two eyes met in the air for a moment. Arrietty looked away in a little panic, as if someone had been caught by someone. Little thief.

Renault smiled slightly, picked up a soft tissue, and shook it slightly.

The two corners of the paper towel suddenly folded automatically, and then rolled and folded in the air.

Arrietty noticed this scene immediately, she involuntarily stopped and looked at the constantly tossing tissues in surprise.

After two breaths, the tissue becomes a paper bird.

With a flick of Renault's right index finger, the paper bird flapped its wings suddenly and flew towards Arrietty. He turned and strode towards the door. For him, it was time to leave.

The paper bird flew through the air and flew to Arrietty's side. She gently pushed the noble youth away and grabbed the paper bird.

The young man looked at her inexplicably, and asked carefully:

"Miss Arrietty, what's the matter with you?"

Arrietty ignored him. She looked at the paper bird twice, but found no trace, so she unfolded the paper bird completely and restored it to the original paper towel.

I saw a line of words written impressively on the paper towel with red wine:

I'm leaving!

Arrietty bit her red lips and looked at it blankly for a while, then she folded the tissue carefully and placed it in her personal pocket, lifted the skirt with both hands, and ran to the hall door quickly.

Her pretty figure floated across the dance floor, like a beautiful elf.
