Endless Silver Machine

Chapter 4 The center of the dark vortex (4)

The relationship between Lilith and Roosevelt Del was smooth sailing. Lilith, who played the role of a pure lady, quickly won the favor of her suitor.

In just two days, Roosevelt Del seized the opportunity to pursue Lilith, but Lilith just seemed at a loss.

"Is it really okay to come here and see me every day and put your work aside?"

"The work of the Intelligence Bureau is now mainly divided into various branches for independent management. Although on the surface I am the person in charge, in fact I only have a title."

Such a title would arouse the jealousy of many people, but Roosevelt Del said it casually in front of Lilith as if it were something foreign.

"What kind of place is the Intelligence Bureau...?"

"Is Miss Lilith more interested in that kind of place than flowers, birds, wind and moon?"

Lilith didn't know if Roosevelt Del asked this intentionally or if he saw that he had another purpose.

Inducing questions is not Lilith's area of ​​expertise, but at this point in her role-playing, she is absolutely not allowed to reveal any flaws.

"I don't know much about things in the empire, and it's degrading to be a noble..."

"Miss Lilith has studied at Frost Moon Academy for two years, but her aristocratic style has not faded at all. She is still as dazzling as when we first met."

"You flatter me……"

Lilith tried hard not to let her anxiety at the topic being changed be revealed.

Although Roosevelt Del has the support of a family with the surname Fu, the praise of being "young and promising" is definitely not an exaggeration.

The longer the relationship lasts with him, the worse it will be for Lilith.

"If there is a chance, I would also like to go to Mr. Del and see you at work. I think I can learn things from you that cannot be learned at Frost Moon Academy."

"If Miss Lilith is interested, you don't have to find another time. I can take you to visit my place of work now."

Rather than showing off your resume in the girl you like in her mansion, it's better to take her to your home court.

Roosevelt Del accepted the "ignorant" Lilith, and seized the opportunity that he was the only noble who was close to her at the moment, and wanted to use everything around him to win her heart.

Lilith's plan went as expected. She entered the Intelligence Agency building under the personal guidance of Roosevelt Del, letting everyone there know that she was the target of the top leader.

…………

At the end of the day's trip, Lilith bathed and changed under Serite's clothes, and returned to her own room.

The luxuriously decorated large space was completely different from the double dormitory at Shigetsutsu Academy, but now Lilith just wanted to return to the dormitory with Tiruya as soon as possible.

Tiruya's sister is the chief director of the Imperial City Intelligence Bureau. If her power is added, it will be of greater help to Aika's plan.

But Lilith could no longer involve Tiruya because of her own selfish desires, so she just told Tiruya that she "needs to go back to take care of the family temporarily" and left Shimozuki Academy.

Lilith walked towards her table, her white and light nightdress dragging on the floor.

After passing through its own magic ripples, the lock on the drawer opened automatically.

Opening the drawer, there was his magic tool on the white paper. The cross-star staff was now just a ring-shaped exterior.

She looked at it quietly for a while, then picked up the diamond ring and put it on her finger.

"Even if it ends here, I still want to do something for him...just to say thank you for what happened back then, to this extent..."

Lilith clasped her hands in front of her chest, as if she was just holding on to something invisible.

By telling herself what she wanted to hear, she was able to persevere through the long ordeal.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Lilith quickly took off the ring.

But after doing it, she realized it wasn't necessary.

This is my own room, not a venue where many people will be watching me at all times.

"Please come in."

"Miss Lilith, the person you asked us to investigate has been found."

Serit received specialized education at the Imperial Knight Academy, and she would also pass on information such as espionage within the family to the family head.

Lilith took out the few thin pieces of paper from the document bag handed over by Serit, and Serit withdrew when she opened the file.

She is only responsible for conveying the information and will not try to learn the content of the information.

The first thing that caught Lilith's eyes was the photo of the other party, and she frowned slightly.

Perhaps because this man worked for the radical wing of the Senate, the first impression was disgusting.

With sparse hair and sinister eyebrows, this photo taken secretly from somewhere left Lilith with such a feeling.

Next, looking down, in terms of habits, there is a list of real information such as being addicted to alcohol and frequenting romantic places.

Imperial intelligence agents without exception have multiple identities, and sometimes they deliberately display different behaviors and habits in order to decorate their identities.

So Lilith's initial request was to only need information that could reflect his essence.

No matter what it is, it can't arouse Lilith's favor, but this is the kind of person he needs.

"The position cannot be said to be low, and I don't feel like a very loyal person..."

These points need to be tested before we can know them. Lilith's current analysis is just to keep them in mind.

Roosevelt Del's itinerary has also been investigated, and we can start taking action tomorrow.

Lying in bed after turning off the lights, she repeatedly warned herself not to show lack of sleep tomorrow, but she couldn't fall asleep.

This is a dangerous act while walking on a tightrope, and there is no one to catch you if you accidentally slip and fall.

Lilith didn't want to affect the family that Ms. Elise had supported because of her own fault.

…………

The next day, it started to drizzle in the Imperial Capital, but the sunlight leaking through the clouds could still be vaguely seen on the horizon.

Such weather has become common recently, perhaps due to the gradual onset of summer.

"Hello, excuse me, is Mr. Del here?"

Lilith wore a refreshing yet elegant summer dress and knocked on the door of an office in the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

"Huh?" The officer named Lars raised his head and suddenly showed a straight-eyed expression. "You were... rude yesterday. Mr. Del is out of town for something and will not return to the bureau for the time being."

Of course, Lilith knew that Roosevelt Del was no longer in the bureau, so she deliberately found this office.

Lars stood up from his seat, rubbing his hands unnaturally.

He didn't have to bow to Lilith, who had nothing to do with the Imperial Intelligence Agency, thanks to the side influence brought by Roosevelt Del.

"Then I have a headache..." Lilith pretended not to know what to do and looked around the corridor, "Your Excellency Del told me not to wander around here. Can I wait for him to come back here?"

"please……"

Rassan smiled and stretched out his hand to signal her to sit down on the sofa, then turned around and made her a cup of black tea.

This nodding and bowing attitude is a necessary skill for people who have reached this position. If you can't even curry favor with your superiors, there's no need to continue occupying this position.

"Thanks."

"You don't have to be polite to me. You are the guest of His Excellency Del, and naturally you are also the guest of our Imperial City Intelligence Bureau."

Lars put down what he was doing and sat down on the sofa opposite Lilith.

Ever since he recognized Lilith's identity, he had always had an unchanging sneer on his face, and his small eyes were narrowed to a slit.

Such a smile was full of hypocrisy in Lilith's eyes, and could not be compared with the warm smile she knew.

"You and Mr. Del are a perfect match."

"Hey, is that so? You must have misunderstood. Mr. Del and I are just ordinary friends."

"Haha, it seems I misunderstood." Lars kept holding his hand and rubbing it. Lilith didn't like this little gesture, "I heard that you just returned to the Bis Empire recently and met Mr. Del? "

Knowing that his relationship with Roosevelt Del was not an imaginary relationship, Russ's questions became somewhat unrestrained.

Inquiring into such private matters is a taboo in official circles, and Lilith knew that her position in Lars's heart had declined.

"Actually, Lord Del and I have made an agreement a few years ago, and this time it is due to the kindness of Lord Mondel."

"I see. Since we have such a deep friendship, Miss Lilith shouldn't have to worry too much."

Lars is indeed a man who is good at adapting to the changing circumstances. In the conversation just now, Lilith's position must have been basically determined.

She and Roosevelt Del currently do not have a family marriage contract, but they are a very important person to Roosevelt Del.

"Then I still have work to do. Miss Lilith is waiting here, please help yourself."

Russ smiled and rubbed his hands, stood up, and continued to sit back at his desk.

Lilith picked up the tea cup and looked at Lars out of the corner of her eye.

I didn't feel that his eyes were fixed on me, but the intelligence agent's eyes were not something I could simply detect.

Maybe it needs to be more direct...

"It feels a little hot..." Lilith fanned the air with her hands and stood up from the sofa, "Sir Lars, can I open that window?"

"Such a small thing..."

"I'll just come. You can do your work first."

Before Lars got up, Lilith walked to the window behind him and pushed the window open.

"Feeling hot" was of course a lie, Lilith just needed an excuse to move around freely.

She walked behind Lars with her hands behind her back.

Then he leaned down slightly and looked at Lars' desk.

The ripe fruit wrapped in a thin summer skirt swayed gently in accordance with gravity, but it was not touched by Lars.

"Is this your job, Sir Lars?"

She deliberately kept this delicate distance and asked softly in Lars's ear.

Lars was obviously disturbed by Lilith's "raid".

"...It's just my own business."

He did not continue to type on the keyboard, but he also did not hide the contents of the file displayed on the screen.

What Lilith wanted to see was not the string displayed on the screen. Precisely because he could not remember the encrypted code and decipher it on the spot even if he saw it, Lars did not panic and hid the internal information of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

"During the recent period, it seems that it is basically difficult to meet Mr. Del because of the incident involving the third princess."

"Your Excellency Del is the first person in charge here. It is understandable that he will be very busy at work..."

Lars glanced at Lilith who was bending beside him from time to time, greedily peeking at the fair skin exposed from the hanging summer skirt. This was done deliberately by Lilith.

At least from his disgusting breathing and lustful eyes, we can confirm that the information in the family investigation is indeed his true nature.

"Is it really because of the third princess that you are so busy? Would you rather leave me behind to see that princess?"

"Miss Lilith, you misunderstood. Lord Del is not going to see the third princess, and the third princess is not kept in such a close place."

Sure enough, this man knew the location of the prison where the third princess was held.

But Lilith can no longer talk about Lan Ming. Now she is a woman who "confessed her lonely feelings" to other men because she was ignored by Roosevelt Del.

"is that so……"

"Yes, so please understand..."

Lilith felt Lars approaching her quietly, and after her shoulders touched her chest slightly, she quickly returned to her standing position with a blushing face.

As long as men who are accustomed to spending money to satisfy their lusts can get a little sweetness, their subsequent actions will be much easier.

Physically disgusted with this behavior and blushing, Lilith couldn't hide her blushing. She didn't know if she could arouse Lars' desire with this incomplete teasing.

The kind of desire that even dares to take action on the women that the boss likes.

"Is Mr. Lars also very busy at work?"

"Compared to Mr. Del, it's much easier, haha..."

"I feel like it's very easy to chat with you. I haven't had the chance to talk to Mr. Del like this in the past few days."

Except for Roosevelt Del's cronies and members of his own family, no one else knew about the interactions between them in the past two days, let alone Lars, who was just an employee of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

"This is my honor, haha..."

"Your Excellency Del probably won't have time to pay attention to me tonight. He hasn't come back yet..."

"Your Excellency Del may not return to the bureau today. Then why don't you find a time tonight..."

Lars's face still had the same sneer, but his narrowed eyes were already shining with lust.

"Where does Mr. Lars usually like to meet?"

As long as Lars expresses this meaning, Lilith will not give him a chance to go back on his words.

Russ directly set the meeting place at the pub, which is consistent with his drinking habits according to the investigation data.

"If you are there, you don't have to worry about meeting Mr. Del. I can come and be Miss Lilith's audience."

Lars knew about his relationship with Roosevelt Del, and would never reveal any information to him in order to protect himself.

Lilith took advantage of Lars's mentality to boldly "have an affair" with him.

When Lilith agreed, Lars had already decided to accept this noble lady who was "pure on the outside but dissatisfied with her inner desires".

When she agreed to Russ's temptation, Lilith had already decided to end her relationship with this man tonight.
