Her curiosity was piqued; both Angeli, who had already left, and Nova, who stood before her, were enough to make her somewhat eager.
Well, it's kind of an occupational hazard. As an alchemist witch, my first thought when I spot danger is never to turn around and run.
Instead, she started to wonder, how could this thing make her feel dangerous?
This is unreasonable!
We must poke at it and study it carefully.
On the other hand, Jiang Kehan was full of confidence, and this is how she answered Nova.
"I'm sorry, Nova, I can't be as flawless as Angelelli, leaving you no chance to cause trouble."
"But I also have my own ways to stop you."
"So you don't need to worry at all, because I'm standing right in front of you!"
The powerful words made Nova, who was originally calm, slightly lose herself. She looked at Jiang Kehan, whose eyes were filled with fire, and a very slight smile appeared on her lips.
Like looking up at a beam of light tearing through the dark clouds in the rain, and seeing the fleeting raindrops on your face.
Her smile was both melodious and poignant, yet it remained hidden.
"It does look so similar," Nova murmured with admiration.
"Like the dazzling morning light, it felt somewhat blinding and scorching to me."
She looked at Jiang Kehan, but then she recalled the way Angela responded to her sincere yet indifferent words.
The other person just sneered, tiptoed and ruffled Nova's hair, then walked past, leaving Nova in a long silence, and... that moment of astonishment.
In some ways, Jiang Kehan and Angela are very similar; both are stubborn and strong-willed.
However, the seemingly gentle Jiang Kehan is willing to go against the wishes of other witches, while the seemingly indifferent Angele will let go because of the other party's thoughts.
The two are completely different.
Chapter 479 Why did you take off my clothes?!
The next morning, Jiang Kehan's eyelids fluttered slightly, and she subconsciously reached out and waved her hand haphazardly, wanting to pull back the curtains and let the sunlight in.
But it wasn't until her hand landed that she vaguely remembered that this wasn't her original bedroom, but rather a guest room in Angelatri Palace, spacious enough to accommodate a piano.
The curtains are at least two or three meters away from the head of the bed.
"Ugh...wooo."
Jiang Kehan let out a meaningless hum before slowly leaning against the headboard to get up, speaking as if complaining.
"Who would be so kind as to put the curtains so far away? Didn't they consider that some people are used to waking up to sunlight?"
Clearly, this is just Jiang Kehan expressing her morning grumpiness as usual; she basically has all sorts of strange reasons every day.
But before she could finish speaking, she heard the curtains being drawn, and the gentle sunlight fell on her.
"Miss Kehan, is this level of sunlight suitable?"
It was Nova's voice.
Jiang Kehan was stunned. She looked at Nova standing by the window in disbelief, pursed her lips, and was so shocked that she blurted out.
Why are you in my room?!
Ok?
Nova tilted her head in confusion, then looked down at her feet... her chest, before raising her head to confirm that there was nothing wrong with her appearance.
She was wearing her usual maid outfit.
So she said it as a matter of course.
"As the head maid, isn't it natural for her to have keys to all the rooms?"
Jiang Kehan was speechless, and unusually, her expression revealed a hint of despair.
"Even if you have a key, you can't just come into my room without permission!"
“Witches value their personal space very much, Miss Nova.”
“But… I’m a doll.” Nova stood straight with her hands clasped in front of her, her black stockings unexpectedly giving off a gauze-like feel in the sunlight.
"In a witch's eyes, shouldn't dolls belong to the same category as inanimate objects?"
Jiang Kehan then realized that this was not Dahua Kongdu, but the Sun Never Sets.
It seems quite common to keep dolls in a room, waiting for orders at any time.
Is this what you call a noble family that's good at enjoying life? Even their sleeping quarters require servants.
Jiang Kehan covered her face and emphasized repeatedly, "Although what you said makes a lot of sense, I personally don't need this kind of service."
"Please, from now on, only come in after I give you permission. I'm begging you, Nova."
Nova shrugged, which was taken as an agreement.
Jiang Kehan finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely shook off her sleepiness.
It's really scary when other people suddenly appear in the room!
However, looking at the calm Nova, Jiang Kehan realized that Nova's strength might be even greater than she had anticipated.
There aren't many things that can escape her perception.
Jiang Kehan didn't have the habit of sleeping naked, so she sighed softly, got out of bed, and prepared to change her clothes.
She was about to take a suitable coat from her personal storage space when she suddenly realized that the affairs officer actually had his own clothes, which were obviously in Nova's possession.
So Jiang Kehan reached out to Nova, gesturing for her to give her the clothes.
Unexpectedly, Nova, expressionless, stepped forward with practiced ease, grabbed the outstretched sleeve of Jiang Kehan, then turned slightly to the side and went around to Jiang Kehan's back.
With his other hand, he easily reached behind her and tucked it into the buttons on Jiang Kehan's clothes, and began to unbutton them naturally as Jiang Kehan's eyes widened.
At this moment, Jiang Kehan was in despair and wanted to spit on the extravagant lifestyle of the British aristocracy.
These arrogant nobles, they even have servants come to help them change clothes, what kind of behavior is that?!
So, Jiang Kehan teleported instantly, appearing in front of Nova drenched in sweat, no longer daring to play any tricks on their teamwork.
"Sister, give me some clothes, I can dress myself, okay?"
Jiang Kehan's tone was so weak that Nova, who was pretending to be calm, narrowed her eyes with a hint of pleasure.
It's hard to say she didn't do it on purpose.
However, Nova simply nodded slightly and handed Jiang Kehan an exceptionally beautiful corset, with Angela's mark on the neckline.
Jiang Kehan took it and examined it. She had to admit that this dress, designed by Angela Terry, was practically a work of art.
The other person's aesthetic sense has always been on point.
As Jiang Kehan put on her clothes, Nova suddenly spoke up.
"By the way, Miss Affairs Officer."
She stared at Jiang Kehan, who had stopped moving and was looking over, and gave her a reminder with some unknown intention.
"Do you know that the lord is trying to pursue you?"
At that moment, Angela, far away, yawned and suddenly looked puzzled, as if she had been betrayed.
Jiang Kehan, however, did not say much when faced with the question. She shrugged, put her clothes on, and buttoned them up.
"I know."
She turned her head with a slight smile and said this.
"If I could convince myself at first that it was just an illusion, I could no longer ignore Angelie when I actually saw her and her aloof eyes."
"Because the Angeli I remember shouldn't have the specific image of any one witch in her eyes; what she gazes upon is always the entire witch race."
Jiang Kehan had seen Angeli's past appearance inside the portal, and the witch never concealed anything, nor did she deliberately change anything.
Therefore, she was actually very clear about Angelette's normal attitude towards other witches.
"But... this time, I clearly saw my reflection in her eyes."
"Although it felt more like she was scrutinizing me."
Jiang Kehan shrugged, somewhat helplessly.
"But how should I put it?"
Even if we knew, it wouldn't change anything.
She gazed calmly into Nova's eyes, as if confronting her own inner self.
“I will never run away from it, nor will I deliberately deny it.”
“Angelette has her own pride, and so do I.”
"Even if she wants to conquer me, then..."
"I still have no reason to run away, because running away would only prove my insecurity, and coincidentally, in a relationship, there is the least room for insecurity."
Moreover, Angelette's "pursuit" was not without reason.
Jiang Kehan and the other party both knew very well where their fate came from.
Therefore, this journey on the eve of the setting sun meant that it would bring this somewhat ephemeral connection to a close.
Whether you accept or refuse.
Jiang Kehan was not afraid at all; she was just as open and honest as Angela Teli.
Pursue?
Jiang Kehan suddenly smiled, nodded thoughtfully, and said this.
"Indeed, it feels a bit strange to describe Angela as a pursuit."
"In fact, this was just a tacit exchange between us."
A battle with no winner or loser, yet one that was both exceptionally cruel and deeply moving.
The "traitor" Nova stood there for a long time, until Jiang Kehan had completely left the room, before a slightly troubled smile appeared on her face.
It seems... I've actually helped my unreliable owner?
