Chapter 50 - Scene of Conflict
“Uh... no.” Orson shook his head.
Just as Dorothy heard Orson say this and breathed a sigh of relief, Orson suddenly continued, “She is my fiancée.”
“Ah, that’s good... Eh eh eh eh eh eh?!” Dorothy’s gaze instantly carried a hint of shock, as if one could see her pupils trembling.
“Wait... wait a moment. Although I don’t really pay attention to outside gossip, isn’t this a bit too fast?! You’re not even twenty yet, are you? You’re getting married already?”
Looking at Dorothy, who had fallen into a panic in an instant, Olivia chuckled.
“Um, Miss Dorothy, this matter is a bit complicated to explain, but when I met you back then, I actually already had an engagement.”
“I see...” Dorothy heard this, and her mood inexplicably became a little low.
“Anyway, I would like to ask if there have been any new books in the library in the past few years?”
“There are indeed new books, but...” Dorothy thought for a moment, then said, “For you, Orson, there might not be that many ‘useful’ books. After all, the books published in recent years, in terms of re
Finally, the not-so-long “The Epic of Lukedwen” was finished. Orson saw that it was approaching noon, and prepared to leave with Olivia.
“Finished?” Dorothy said this with a blank expression, watching the two of them walk towards her.
“Uh... ah, yes,” Orson saw Dorothy like this. Although he didn’t know what had happened to her, he somehow felt it was related to him, so he nodded awkwardly.
“Then take care. Come and chat with me when you have time,” Dorothy said this, waving to Orson.
“Mm, Miss Dorothy, where do you live now?” Just at this moment, Orson suddenly asked.
“Eh? Why are you asking that?” Dorothy was startled.
Olivia on the side heard Orson’s words, and her hands quietly touched Orson’s waist.
“Mainly, there are some things I would like to ask you, Miss Dorothy.”
“Alright, my home is at Number 38, Asbestos Street, West City. Orson, whenever you come, let me know in advance, and I’ll prepare something to eat to host you.”
“That won’t be necessary. I just have some questions I’d like to ask for answers to,” Orson said this, smiled, and then pulled Olivia out of the library.
Just as he walked out of the library, Orson felt a pain in his waist.
Olivia finally couldn’t help but make a move.
“Flirting with another girl in front of your fiancée, is this acceptable? Is it acceptable, acceptable, acceptable?” Olivia said coquettishly.
The romantic atmosphere that had been fostered by reading together with Orson just now vanished in an instant with Orson’s actions.
“Cough, cough, Olivia, listen to me explain,” Orson said this, explaining, “Didn’t I just say that Miss Dorothy is very knowledgeable? It just so happens that I’ve recently encountered some problems that I would like to seek answers to, and I think Miss Dorothy should know.”
“Alright,” Olivia accepted Orson’s explanation.
After all, Orson was a complete utilitarian. When he proactively sought someone out, it was definitely not to hit on them because they were pretty, but because he had other intentions.
Now that Orson had told Olivia the purpose of seeking out the other party, Olivia also reluctantly accepted this explanation.
“However...” There was a hint of worry in Olivia’s words. “Since it’s a problem that even you, Orson, can’t solve, can seeking help from someone else really solve it?”
After all, in her opinion, Orson’s knowledge surpassed that of most people in the Empire. If it was a problem that even he found somewhat difficult, then it was definitely not something that an ordinary person could solve.
“I don’t know...” Orson shook his head.
As for whether Dorothy could solve Orson’s problem, Orson himself didn’t know, but he vaguely felt that if Dorothy’s race was indeed as he suspected, and she was quite experienced, she could most likely help him.
After a small interlude, Orson and Olivia found a restaurant nearby.
Not long after the two had taken their seats, a graceful figure appeared beside them.
“Good afternoon, Young Master Orson, Miss Olivia.”
Familiar red hair and golden eyes, neat and tidy attire. Orson knew who the other party was just by hearing the voice.
Clearly, today’s date with Olivia would not be very pleasant looking.
And Olivia, upon seeing Celineina’s figure suddenly appear, also narrowed her eyes and looked at Celineina.
“I truly didn’t expect, Miss Celineina, that you would actually have the leisure to pay attention to Orson and I. Your trading company should be in a business war with the Silver Moon Trading Company recently, right?”
“I couldn’t help it. I just recently bought this restaurant and was processing the paperwork here today when you two arrived. What a coincidence,” Celineina said this, sitting down opposite Orson and Olivia.
“It’s just about noon as well. You two, this meal is on me. How about it?”
