Ayanokouji Kiyotaka 178

Title: Only Words Can Control Other People’s Behavior

Felt turned her attention to the other person. Since the person was disguised, she didn’t recognize him.

“Who are you?” Her mood was not good when she was approached by a stranger. At this moment, she didn’t want to talk to anyone else, so she glanced at him slightly.

“Excuse me, Felt-sama, I just saw you looked a little distressed, so I came to ask.” Ayanokouji answered.

Felt still didn’t look at him favorably. Although Reinhard had told her many times to maintain a smile and etiquette outside, her personality was originally full of wildness, she wouldn’t follow anyone else’s instructions at all, not executing the instructions given by Reinhard.

“Don’t pretend to care about me. The truth is, you nobles in the royal capital look down on people like me who live in the slums.” Felt said directly.

Being too straightforward is not an advantage, it will only worsen the relationship between oneself and the people around them, even severing interpersonal relationships that could potentially be exploited. Such an approach is very unwise, so Ayanokouji knew this, so he would never put himself in a very bad relationship with someone.

He believed that Felt’s honesty wasn’t a suitable way to live in the world.

However, this kind of personality is the easiest to guide and exploit. What he would do today was guide Felt and let her take the action she wanted.

“I’m sorry, Felt-sama, I didn’t mean it that way.” Ayanokouji didn’t feel angry, but continued: “Felt-sama, I have nothing to do with this because our family also came from there before.”

He didn’t choose to say directly “I don’t have any prejudice against you”, but pretended that his family was also a slum dweller, so he could close the distance between himself and Felt.

“I don’t believe it. How could there be a noble born in the slums?” Felt found it hard to believe those words, thinking the other party was just deceiving her.

“No, it’s true.” Ayanokouji shook his head, then continued, “I remember that slum...”

Then he explained the layout of the buildings in the slum. Before time travel, he had memorized the layout of the slum in his mind when he first watched the video.

However, he didn’t tell too many details, but deliberately blurred some unimportant details, or used reasons he couldn’t remember.

Because remembering too many details would look too deliberate, and it’s normal for people to have vague memories

His performance immediately convinced Felt of what he said, but Felt was still a little surprised: “You really came from the slums.”

”That’s right.”

”How could you do that.”

“It wasn’t because of me, it was because my grandfather took a risk and borrowed a sum of money, then went out to start a business and achieved success. Later, when he had a certain status in the business, he spent that money to make many achievements in family history. I have been hiding my family’s past for a long time, so no one knows the origin of our family.” Ayanokouji extended his finger and gently placed it on top of his lips, “This matter cannot be told to others.”

Sharing secrets is also one way to quickly bring two people closer together.

It’s just that the secret is just a lie.

The expressionless face is very suitable for lying. This is one of Ayanokouji’s strengths.

He knew that Felt’s dream was to make money to leave the slums and become rich

“I’m not boring.” Felt pouted. She didn’t know the other party’s true identity, but after hearing the other party’s words, she really felt a sense of intimacy.

In the past, she really wanted to make money through petty theft, and then leave the slums and live a free life. Although her status has now become a noble, her life has instead been restricted.

Felt didn’t like this feeling.

Ayanokouji knew Felt’s character, and it wasn’t difficult to guess the girl’s thoughts. He directed his gaze to the cheerful crowd and continued: “I never lived in the slums, but my grandfather cared about it very much and sometimes he would draw scenes from before there, so I also have a certain understanding of it.”

“After your family left the slums, did you just leave it and ignore it?” Felt asked.

“Because you can’t help yourself.” Ayanokouji deliberately shook his head, “Now we are in this position, we can’t do much because we are restricted by our identities. We need to consider our identities in everything we do. It needs etiquette and no freedom at all.”

He knew that Felt wouldn’t like this kind of life, so he took this as an opportunity to give her ideological guidance.

He wanted Felt to voluntarily withdraw from the throne selection.

Now that Felt’s royal family identity has been revealed, for Ayanokouji, Felt’s utilization value has been greatly reduced, and there is no need to win her over.

Especially since Felt, Reinhard is loyal to her and cannot be utilized.

Reinhard is a very valuable tool. If he conflicts with the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult in the future, he will be a very important force.

Although from the perspective of the entire kingdom, Reinhard would definitely fight the Witch Cult without hesitation, but Ayanokouji wanted to make it easier to control and dispatch, so he wanted him to be very loyal to him.

If Felt withdraws from the throne selection, how will Reinhard react?

If Felt leaves the royal capital without telling Reinhard, how will he react.

His faith in the title of knight will also be shaken.

According to Reinhard’s character, if Felt withdraws from the throne selection and doesn’t tell him, he will definitely feel that it is his own problem and all his responsibility.

After that, Ayanokouji can contact Reinhard and win him over to his camp.

“I don’t like my current life, and I think Felt-sama feels the same way.” Ayanokouji returned his gaze to Felt.

Felt pursed her lips, and there was a little hesitation in her eyes, but hesitation was already the clearest answer.

“Felt-sama, it’s not easy to participate in the throne selection. It may even involve very complicated interests, and it may even bring disaster to the people around you.”

“To be honest, it’s not that I don’t agree with you, but I think the wider land outside the palace walls is suitable for you.” Ayanokouji noticed that the others across the banquet seemed to have finished their conversation, and he stood up, “I’m very happy to chat with Felt-sama. Nice to meet similar people in the royal capital.”

“Wait a minute, I haven’t asked your name!” Felt also stood up from her seat and asked.

However, Ayanokouji didn’t answer, but walked towards the crowd.

At this moment, Reinhard had finished talking with his colleagues, and also walked back to Felt’s side. The two passed by, but he didn’t notice Ayanokouji’s disguise.

“I’ve been waiting for a long time, Felt-sama.” Reinhard smiled, and looked towards the crowd. Ayanokouji’s figure could no longer be caught, “Seeing Felt-sama can communicate with others like this, and as a subordinate, I am very happy.”

He realized that Ayanokouji had just been talking to Felt, but he mistook the other party for an ordinary noble.

“Just chatting when I have no work.” Felt returned to her previous frowning look.

But the words Ayanokouji said to her appeared and surged in her heart.

Ayanokouji’s goal has been achieved.

“Is Felt the target this time?”

In the school cafe, Honami and Horikita were drinking milk tea together, watching the picture on the screen, and discussing the content of the video.

It’s been a long time since Ayanokouji crossed over. Both of them were very worried about his safety, so they basically watched the video carefully during the day.

“Ayanokouji-kun is really an amazing man. I never thought he was so great before!”

Honami sipped her milk tea, her eyes always fixed on the screen.

“By the way, Ichinose-san...”

Horikita seemed to be thinking about something and asked, “Do you like Ayanokouji?”

“A-I like Ayanokouji-kun?!”

Honami’s face instantly flushed red like an overripe cherry. Her whole body began to tremble slightly, and her feet wearing white stockings stepped on the ground without rhythm.

“How to say it... I don’t know what liking is... but... I have a special feeling for Ayanokouji-kun, maybe I like him a little...”

Although a little shy, Honami considered Horikita one of her close friends, so she directly expressed her thoughts.

After hearing what Honami said, Horikita thought.

“Um, Horikita-san, what kind of person do you think Ayanokouji-kun is?”

Honami saw Horikita was distracted and asked directly.

“Ah? Ayanokouji and I are just classmates. Sometimes we have the same interests in some things, so we collaborate.” Horikita said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

❰❱LIVE STREAMING❰❱

The scene changed, and several days had passed.

After hearing Ayanokouji’s words last time, Felt was a little shaken, and had a lot of rejection towards the throne selection.

During this period of time, Ayanokouji hid in Karsten Mansion.

“Good morning, Ayanokouji, and Betty.” Early in the morning, Crusch approached Ayanokouji in casual clothes.

Usually, she usually wears a military uniform, but sometimes she chooses to wear slightly more feminine clothes when relaxing in the mansion.

At this moment, she was wearing a light green dress, showing a very different perspective and temperament than usual.

Usually, she wears a military uniform, with her hair pulled up high into a high ponytail, and she looks heroic.

Wearing a thin skirt, her long hair was loose, and her face was less heroic, but more feminine. Just looking at her face, Crusch could definitely be said to be a beauty approaching the highest level, and under her skirt, the curves that were usually hidden by armor were also fully visible, and her white thighs were visible from under the skirt, looking very different from usual.

Crusch wasn’t as serious as she was outside. After getting along with him for the past few days, her trust in Ayanokouji has increased significantly.

For example, the mess left by Russell.

“Really, you came here early in the morning because you want to trouble Kiyotaka, right?” Beatrice said gracefully, enjoying the delicious breakfast provided.

“That’s right, I still have some things I don’t understand about the dark trade route I found before, and I need Ayanokouji’s help.” Crusch smiled.

“Okay, leave it to me.”

Ayanokouji nodded, said nothing more, then left the room with Crusch.
