Chapter 511 Great Change
Chapter 511 Great Change
When Norvia was woken up, she was already in France.
She was woken up by Shanna.
"Nolvaya, it's time for lunch. Get up! You've slept long enough."
Nolvia opened her eyes blankly. When she saw Shanna, she thought she was dreaming. The next second, she smelled the calming incense that Dooku used.
She rubbed her head and let Shanna drag her off the bed.
Shanna put her coat on and took her hand as they walked out.
"Everyone is waiting for you to eat, so eat first and then go to sleep."
Nolvia hummed, her voice hoarse.
Before walking out of the room, Shanna called her in a neither loud nor soft voice.
"Norvia."
"Ok?"
"I like the gifts you gave me very much."
"You're welcome, Sana. As long as you like it."
Norvia's gift list wasn't long, and none of it was expensive. It consisted of basic necessities for women, simple but effective self-defense weapons, and a homemade communicator made by Dooku, which contained their "send you home" contact information. Simply tapping a number allowed him to call or text them.
Nolvia noticed that there was a brand new blanket on the floor, the cardboard waste on both sides of the corridor had disappeared, and the air smelled of air freshener.
Nolvia came to the living room.
For the first time, she felt the vastness of the living room. The cramped feeling of being squeezed by clutter was gone. And her teammates filled the void.
Dooku and Irene were making toast for Arlinx in front of the fireplace, while Fianna and Spider-Woman were sitting on the sofa eating fruit salad.
Hugh and Elliott were nowhere to be seen.
Nolvia stepped on the soft carpet, her voice still hoarse from waking up.
"Sanna, where are Hught and Ellit?"
"I'm setting up the other people's rooms. I'm still old and can't do that much work. I've already cleaned up your three rooms, but there are too many of you, seven people plus a child. You have to fend for yourself."
Nolvia looked at Shanna, who was still holding her hand.
Nolvia could feel the roughness of her hands. Shanna was already very old, but her spirit was so good that others didn't think she was weak at all.
"Sanna, you're not moving to Kekora, are you? You've started to think of this place as home."
Nolvia asked Shanna softly.
People will arrange their favorite things in the space they feel safe and comfortable in. When she lived in the dormitory, she would not put her favorite small ornaments on her usual desk, nor would she hang landscape paintings on the wall.
Shanna is a female eagle who saves money as if it were her freedom. Brand new carpets, a brand new house, tablecloths with intricate patterns, and sofas with new leather.
All this seemed to indicate that Shanna would not be leaving anytime soon. This place gradually became her "home."
But the war will soon begin, and the houses where the weapons are hidden will be the first to be bombed.
Sana, her eyes still covered with gauze, held Nolvia's hand and sighed.
"Nolvaya, I don't hate you, but you look down on me a little too much. I can take it and let it go. I'm already so old, even if it's just a temporary residence, I want to live comfortably. I said I want to move to the seaside town you mentioned, and I will go, but before that, can't I live a good life?"
"But...the house wasn't like this before."
"That's because I didn't have any money! Elliott was able to give me an advance on my salary. I'd be a fool not to spend my money. And France is especially caring towards an elderly female eagle like me. She always gives me low prices. Take this carpet, for example. She sold it to me at half price. When I go to that Korra, you must remember to bring this carpet with you. It's a great treasure."
"……it is good."
Nolvia nodded, not quite understanding what was said. Shanna arranged for her to sit next to Zhue and eat fruit salad with them.
Shanna was about to bring lunch to the table. Zhue looked at Shanna indifferently and used the flower vine to take over Shanna's action.
Sana touched the vine. She squeezed it, then thought for a moment.
"Is it the Spider? I heard Dooku talk about it."
"Yes. You have a good memory."
Zhu'e confirmed Shanna's words. She was extremely wary of this kind of intimacy, but Shanna was very stubborn and she couldn't persuade her.
Sana didn't allow her to help and just let her sit on the sofa. She couldn't go out, help Hugh and Elliott, or ask for lunch.
Even if asked, Shanna would not do it.
Hugh and Elliott also came to the living room and finished their work.
Elliott threw himself on the sofa, too tired to complain.
Hugh drank the water in silence, then met Nolvia's gaze.
"woke up?"
Norvia nodded.
"I was forced to get up."
Hugh understood.
Sana invited everyone to come for lunch. She knew that they all had their own tasks at Lanier.
"After dinner, you can work as needed. I know you came here just to see me, but I have wings and claws, I need nothing. You will leave tomorrow morning. One day is enough here. I'll get tired of all these people if I stay here for too long."
If I have nothing to do this afternoon, I'll go help Lord France. Things have been unsettled in France lately, and I know something is about to start."
……
Shanna has developed a habit of taking naps recently.
Dooku and Elliott went to catch up on their sleep, and Nolvia put on her coat and prepared to go to the lord's mansion.
Hught spoke.
"me and you togather."
Erin raised her hand.
"I'm going too! I want to talk to Franche."
"I dont go."
Zhue leaned on the sofa with her back to Norvia and Hught.
"I'll stay here with Yalinxiu."
Fianna had just come out of her room and had heard half of the conversation, and she too was talking about her plans for the afternoon.
"I have to go out. Chia Amberty is in France, and I have a business to discuss with her."
"Come on, let's go. Francie is more boring than Trondheim."
Zhuyi fell on the sofa and heard the door close twice.
Zhue was thinking about Sulan and Floris. She still had to go to Trentedam tomorrow. Pingluo was there too.
She scanned the scene in the room, and when her eyes fell on Yalinxiu, she found that Yalinxiu was in a daze.
Zhue stood up, approached Yalinxiu, and poked it.
"Go and rest if you're tired."
Yalinxiu came back to his senses and shook his head, looking a little worried.
"I'm not sleepy. I was just wondering if Loretta and the others had a fight... I don't know why, but I don't think their plan will go smoothly."
"You'll know tomorrow. Or, when Fiana and the others come back, use their communicators to ask Musa. Yours and mine don't work in Lanier. Dooku's works, but when I went to sit in the magic circle this morning, he and Nolvia were both asleep, and his communicator is still on the living room floor at home."
"Okay. Zhuyi, France is a port city. How about we go to the beach?"
Yalinxiu took out the small shovel from her schoolbag.
"This is what Dooku made for me. It can be turned into a bucket or a kettle."
Zhu Yi stared at the small shovel and turned her head to ask Yalinxiu.
"You only brought one?"
"Dooku brought one too."
"Then let's go to the beach together after he wakes up. Take Elliott and Sana with you."
Yalinxiu nodded.
"Okay. Shanna loves the ocean. I remember that."
"Really? It doesn't matter."
……
"Even if it destabilizes the situation, is that okay with you?"
French patted her desk. The frame holding the picture of Eucalyptus nedo had fallen onto the surface, cracking it.
Nedoan, who was sitting opposite Franche, folded his arms and looked at her with a cold look in his eyes.
She also noticed the photo frame lying on the table, and she silently looked away, as if she had seen nothing.
Frenchie rarely got so emotional. She didn't understand why Nedoan had suddenly gone so crazy. Even after placing her mother in France, Nedoan still wanted to move forward with her plan.
She began to feel disgusted with Nedoan's stubbornness. She always felt that Nedoan was just controlled by his emotions. When Nedoan calmed down, she would understand how wrong her previous actions were.
"Is it just because of your mother? Because she's dying of illness, and you want her to see a Rainier ruled by a female eagle? Just because of this, you want to abandon our original plan and ruin everything? Who do you think I am? Who do you think Rainier's female eagle is?
I really don’t want to kill you, Niedoan.”
Nedoan smiled.
"You can't do it. Kill me and everything will fall apart."
"You're not that important."
"Really? Then why are you mad at me now? Wouldn't it be better to just kill me?"
knock knock.
A knock on the door interrupted the argument.
Franche paused, her expression returning to normal and her voice calm.
"Please come in."
Nedoan turned around and wanted to leave, but Franche stopped her.
"You stay."
"I am not your subject. I am free to go wherever I want."
Nedoan walked to the door, she looked up and saw Nolvia.
Norvia heard the quarrel at the door. She looked at Nieduoan and greeted him.
"Good afternoon, Nedoan."
Nedoan stared at Nolvia for a while, then she turned her head away.
"Joshua is in France. He's taking care of my mother. My teammates will be here tomorrow. We'll have dinner. If you want to come, ask Joshua for his address."
"Senior Niedoan."
Norvia did not let Nedoan leave.
"Why don't you tell me the real reason why you want to move your plans forward?"
"I do. For no reason."
"That's not the case. Nedoan, your mother is also a female eagle. You wouldn't make an irrational decision without considering the female eagle's future, especially since your mother is still in France."
Nolvia looked up at Franche who was holding up the photo frame not far away.
"Lord, would you let your most important relative stay in an unsafe place? Especially since the lord of this place is your partner and knows your weaknesses very well."
Franche slowly calmed down.
Pressure creates anxiety. She does get a bit impatient. But anyone in her position would be like that. She can't afford to lose.
She actually understood Niedoan. So when Niedoan said something that didn't agree with her, she would refute him. Now think about it, Niedoan's mother was in France, so no matter what Niedoan said, she had no final say.
French remembered.
She told Nedoan that she hoped Nedoan would regard her as his most difficult enemy.
And Nedo An brought France to her weak point, her mother.
This is the most direct surrender.
Franche walked towards Nedo Eucalyptus step by step.
"Can you tell me why you want to move up your plans?"
Nedoan remained silent.
Despite this, Franche could still guess what Nedoan was thinking.
She and Nedoan are the same kind of female eagles.
"Nedoan, even if I really don't know anything about this, after my failure, I will still be liquidated by the king. I can't get away with it completely.
I knew all the risks. I knew what you were doing. You were eager, pulling out all the stops to bring those organizations together, recruiting many foreigners. If you'd slowed down and been more meticulous, your plan would have had a much higher chance of success, but you moved so quickly. I didn't understand why.
Now I know. At the same time, I know that such hasty action is bound to have loopholes. The lack of meticulousness in the early stage will lead to the failure of the later action. If the Eagle tribe leaks the secret, our resistance will not even begin.
You worry about that. So you want to plan ahead.”
"That's just what you think."
Nedoan replied coldly. She looked at Franche with the same disdainful attitude.
"Are you done? I need to go back to see my mom."
"No."
Franche calmly stopped Eucalyptus Niederro.
"I haven't finished. The reason you didn't tell me anything is because you didn't want to get out of Lanier alive. So you want me to hate you. But Nedoan, I said, I need to rebuild Lanier's subordinates for me. Only living lives can create infinite value."
Niedoan said nothing.
Her silence is like her stubbornness.
No one can be sure what she is thinking except herself.
Nedoan is leaving.
Franche didn't try to stop her, and Norvia moved aside to make room for her to leave.
At this moment, at the same time, the communicators of Norvia, Franche and Nedoan rang with an unsettling sound.
Synchronous and urgent.
The vibrations were like the world in turmoil. A commotion erupted in the lord's mansion, and the whistling sound of wings flapping echoed through the corridors.
Nolvia saw one of Franche's subordinates flying over breathlessly.
Her voice was sharp with nervousness.
"My Lord, Master Franche—something's happened to Futsu! Something's wrong with the King and Musa. But we don't know what it is—"
Nolvia subconsciously took a step forward.
She and Niedoan simultaneously lowered their heads and turned on the communicator.
A lot of news came out.
She flipped through the pages quickly, finding it increasingly difficult to breathe, while Nedoan and Franche's brows furrowed more and more.
Nolvia said goodbye to them quickly, knowing that she had to go to Futsu immediately.
All the news told her one thing.
…Loretta was killed.
