Chapter 224

"Sister, you are not frozen, are you?" Seeing this, Lianka quickly tested the temperature of Olivia's forehead, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no problem.

"Could it be that you have been frozen for a long time, but you are used to it?"

"Maybe." Olivia thought so, and suddenly, she felt a hard object on her chest.

Then, she unzipped her coat, put her hand into her collar, and then took out a pendant inlaid with sapphires.

"This thing... I don't remember wearing it before."

Olivia thought doubtfully, and then she understood the reason for everything.

Ignoring Lianka's gaze, Olivia held the pendant tightly in her hand, and then came to the door.

"Lianka, I'll go see Orson, you stay here first."

"Ah... Sister, is it okay for you to go alone?"

"It's okay, I'm recovered!" Olivia said so, made an OK gesture, then opened the door and walked out.

After asking a few classmates, Olivia soon arrived at Orson's door. After knocking twice, Olivia pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as she entered, she saw Orson lying on the bed with a helpless look on his face, and Litt lying on the ground with his head on the bed and sleeping.

"Sorry, Olivia, Litt fell asleep." Orson whispered.

"It's okay." Olivia shook her head, not minding at all, and then sat down beside Orson's bed.

"How are you, are you recovering well?"

"Almost, I went to see you yesterday, but you didn't wake up at that time, and then I was 'locked' here by Litt." Orson said this, his tone was full of helplessness, but his eyes looking at Litt were full of pampering.

"Huh, I can't tell, you are quite happy." Olivia said with a pout. "You have a brother who loves you so much and looks as cute as a girl. You can do all kinds of things in the name of brotherhood, right?"

"I'm not that perverted." Orson defended.

I hope you're a little more perverted.

Lit, who was lying on the bed, secretly complained in his heart at this time.

She woke up vaguely after Olivia came in, but she didn't show it, but continued to pretend to be asleep.

After all, in Orson's eyes, he really fell asleep just now. With his cover, he could eavesdrop on the conversation between the two openly.

Although there is a sense of humiliation that the owner is hiding under the bed and listening to the original wife flirting with the yellow-haired man.

"How about you? Are you feeling better?"

"Well, I've recovered completely, and thanks to Lord Ostia, I'm not afraid of wind and snow now."

As she said this, Olivia showed the sapphire pendant on her chest.

"That's a good thing, but we may not go to Lapland in the future."

"Yeah." Olivia sighed when she heard Orson say that. "But it's better to have it than not. This can be regarded as a memorial left by Lord Ostia in the world."

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"By the way, Orson, when I was possessed, some memories suddenly appeared in my mind, some of which were about you."

"About me?"

When Orson heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

And Litt, who was lying next to the two of them, also pricked up his ears.

"But, this is not a good place to talk now. I'll tell you when we return to Saint Laurent City." Olivia glanced at Litt with a smile in her eyes, and then reached out and rubbed Litt's little head.

Litt hated being rubbed on the head by people other than Orson, especially Olivia, but since she chose to pretend to sleep, she could only bear it.

"Okay." Orson also glanced at Litt, and from her frowning expression, he could guess that she was probably awake at the moment. "Let's talk about it after we go back in two days."

"Then... tonight, I want to sleep with you, is that okay?"

At this time, Olivia suddenly said something that made Litt's inner alert value rise wildly.

"Uh... this is not appropriate, after all, Litt is still here."

"But I think this bed is quite big, wouldn't it be better for me to sleep inside?"

Olivia said this, pointing to the empty space inside.

Oson was embarrassed for a while.

"We are obviously engaged, why do I feel that sometimes we are not as good as good friends when we get along..." Olivia lowered her head and pointed her finger.

Oson couldn't stand Olivia's coquetry in front of him, and he could only surrender for a while.

"Well... it's okay, but this is outside after all, and there are many classmates around. That... that kind of thing... will be embarrassing if it is discovered."

"Of course I know." Olivia nodded, and then looked at Orson with a puzzled look.

"I just want to sleep with you, Orson. It's cold here, and it's warmer if we squeeze together. Did Orson think you were wrong? Do you think I want to do that kind of thing?"

Seeing Olivia's smirk again, Orson could only refute a few words stubbornly.

"No... no, I thought so too, but it's easy to be criticized after all."

"Isn't it normal for unmarried couples to do this kind of thing? How can it be criticized?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Orson's eyes wandered around.

"I don't know if I slept at the same time. You can't go back on your word then."

"No way~" Olivia said, crawling from the end of the bed to the inside of the bed, and then rested her head on Orson's shoulder.

"Well, good night, Orson."

Saying this, she gave Orson a peck on the cheek, and then leaned against Orson and closed her eyes.

At this moment, Liteuk, who was beside the two of them, almost had his back teeth broken.

She suddenly felt that the bottom of the bed was the most suitable place for her.

Chapter 31: You don’t want me to be alone, right?

Two more days passed. After all the students who had been injured in the previous battle had recovered, Tris and Hekatia took the two classes of students back south.

Of course, the so-called two classes are just the entire second-year class, plus the trio of Lite from the first-year class.

The other first-year students did not choose to meddle in other people's business. After completing their tasks, they waited for everyone's return at the inn on the border of Lapland and Lucia.

They walked for several days, and when everyone in the second grade returned to the place where they started, they couldn't help but marvel.

The former dilapidated inn with only a few small rooms has completely changed its appearance after being transformed by the Lissen Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the central post station being transformed into a caravan trading and registration platform, there are also several more warehouses for storing goods and supplies. In addition, the Lissen Chamber of Commerce is also planning to develop tourism here in the future. Therefore, a quite large reception hall, that is, a hotel, was laid out in advance.

All kinds of supporting facilities are available around the hotel, turning it into a small town with a strong commercial atmosphere.

It’s hard to imagine that all these changes happened in less than two months.

Of course, the Lissen Chamber of Commerce does this not only to better develop and utilize the commercial value of Lapland in the future, but also for the purpose of showing the strength of the Lissen Chamber of Commerce to the students.

You know, although there are many students in the Imperial Academy who are from civilian backgrounds, most of them come from families with some strength. Even if we leave out the royal families such as Elsa, Orson, and Olivia,

Not to mention the children of the dukes, most of the children of the earls and barons go to school here.

Especially the first class of the two grades has gathered a large number of geniuses. These people either have powerful families now or have extraordinary potential in the future. Leaving a good impression on them in advance will make it easier for the Lissen Chamber of Commerce to deal with them in the future. many.

This was one of the reasons why Chelinina acted quickly after Orson told her.

After all, for businessmen, connections are often equivalent to many priceless treasures.

Once you have connections, friends all over the world, and support wherever you do business, you will naturally be able to develop. On the contrary, you will easily run into obstacles everywhere.

The reason why the Lissen Chamber of Commerce was initially suppressed by the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in various places was because the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce accumulated a lot of contacts after its development, and could use those contacts to compete with the Lissen Chamber of Commerce in various places. But in the end, the merchants chose The interests thus sided with the Lissen Chamber of Commerce.

"Orson, could it be that you ordered Sister Chelinina to do this?" After staying in the guest house, Lite asked Orson beside him.

The rooms in the guest house are no better than the rooms built in the north. They can only keep out the cold. In addition to internal central heating to ensure that the overall temperature in the room is maintained at a comfortable level, the guest house is also equipped with some simple entertainment facilities and even There are also things like hot springs, which are unthinkable in the snowfields of Lapland.

"I just gave Chelinina a suggestion. She will definitely develop the chamber of commerce here in the future. The value of fur is great, so there is nothing wrong with planning ahead."

"It's just that she seemed to have misunderstood what I meant and made this place a bit too luxurious..." Orson also felt a little emotional about Chelinina's grand construction of the Chamber of Commerce Station.

It's not that Chelinina is extravagant and wasteful, but that she seems to be deliberately trying to please herself.

However, objectively speaking, it did leave a good impression on the students in the two classes, and the potential benefits it brought were indeed greater than the investment in building the station.

"Then, do you want to go to the hot springs today? I heard that the colder the place, the greater the benefits of the hot springs to the human body." Lee Teuk suggested.

"Okay." Orson heard this and nodded. "It's just that we have to go clubbing separately?"

"You mean, let me go to the girls' hot spring?" Li Te asked.

"Of course." Orson replied matter-of-factly.

"Of course not!" Lite refused loudly.

"Why?"

"Oson, you know I'm a girl, but they don't know it yet! If I go to a girls' hot spring, I'll either be considered a pervert, or my identity will be exposed."

"What's the big deal? There's no need to hide your identity now, right?"

The reason why Leeteuk concealed his identity in the first place was to investigate why she was thought to be a boy at that time.

You know, no matter how urgent the situation is, after a person is born, the gender will not be mistaken. There must be a reason why she was declared a boy.

She wanted to ask Giovanni herself what happened back then.

However, after Giovanni's death, there was no way to know.

Perhaps the guards who escorted her at the time deliberately confused Giovanni in order to save her, but all this can only be a guess.

There are some things in the world that are puzzles that can never be solved in a lifetime. After being sad for a while, Litt let it go.

The reason why she still does not clarify her gender is more because...

She is used to it.

She is used to being treated as a boy in front of outsiders, and she is also used to living in the Dukedom of Antica as a young man.

If she suddenly tells everyone that she is a girl, not only will her father not be able to accept it for a while, but outsiders will also think that this is a big joke in Antica.

Lucius, who has been wise all his life, can't even figure out the gender of his own child. What else can this be if not a joke?

For the sake of her father's reputation, she is willing to make these sacrifices.

Anyway, in Litt's opinion, as long as Orson knows that she is a girl and is willing to treat her as a girl and get along with her, it will be fine.

Besides, my adoptive parents would hardly tell anyone that I was a girl, and the teachers, Virgil and others who knew about it were all tight-lipped.

That was all.

Moreover, if Olivia knew that I was a girl, wouldn't she forbid me from interacting with Orson every minute? Although even as a "boy", I had already made Olivia wary

That's it.

Thinking of these reasons, Litt still shook his head.

"No, if I reveal my identity, my father will be laughed at."

"...That's right." Orson heard this and sighed helplessly.

"Does that mean you can only soak in the boys' hot springs?"

"Yeah." Litt nodded, looking forward to it.

"Of course! Orson, you don't want me to soak in the pool alone, right?"

Chapter 32: The hot spring story of the two

There are three types of hot springs in the guesthouse, two of which are for men and women to soak in separately, and the other is a private hot spring that requires enough money to soak in.

At this moment, in the private hot spring, Lit was wrapped in a bath towel, and her white and smooth feet tapped the surface of the hot spring pool. After confirming that the temperature was suitable, she walked in alone and silently.

Then she buried half of her head in the hot spring pool, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

She glanced at the door from time to time, with a hint of expectation in her heart.

After all, since she and Orson met, they have never taken a bath together.
