Chapter 684 Alechino's Proposal

After ending the call with Safir, Ying was absent-minded on the way to Momang Palace. She felt that Safir's words were a bit strange.

While rejecting her, he also gave her a hint, almost telling Ying explicitly that she had to step up if the matter was to be resolved.

However, Ying felt frightened when she thought about the fact that she did not have a very close relationship with the servant.

Arriving at the door of Momang Palace, Alechino was already waiting: "There is still some time before the next negotiation, let's talk here."

Apparently, Alecino had more to say.

She first expressed her goodwill: "I'm glad to see that you get along well with our children. Good interpersonal relationships are essential for children to grow up."

"Even if it's because of Saphir, I will get along well with them." Ying felt that she needed to get closer to the other party. "In fact, I also want to get along well with you... I just don't know how to do it yet."

Alechino looked at Ying with some surprise: "Are we not getting along well enough?"

Then, she understood immediately: "After all, there are only a few people who can get along with you like Aurora. I really can't do that, but you don't have to doubt my kindness.

Actually, the difference between her and me is not as big as you think. To be honest, I am a little less... approachable than her."

That's true, Alecino does seem a little difficult to get along with.

Ying did not answer, but her silence proved that what Alechino said was true.

She chuckled and continued, "A woman's beauty is also a poison that penetrates the intestines. Or are travelers also accustomed to judging people by their appearance?"

"No! It's just that we don't have much contact and I don't know you yet." Ying denied it flatly. Judging people by their appearance always sounded very shallow. She wanted to be a person with substance.

Alechino did not comment on this. Saphir took good care of Ying, so she would naturally have enough patience with this girl.

Paimon still couldn't help but ask about Lini and the others: "How will you deal with Lini and the others?"

"Linny, Linnet, Femini and... Fjöll, Nantei... there are quite a lot of people. I always treat traitors equally, without any exceptions." This shattered the fantasies of Ying and Paimon.

It seems that Alecino has already made his choice.

Little Paimon was horrified: "You...will you kill them?"

"Do you want to plead for them? You should know very well who is the person in the Hearth House who dares to contradict me and can guarantee that she will be fine. Haven't you tried to plead with her?" Alechino said with a playful tone.

Ying hung her head: "I tried, but she refused."

"That's a shame. If that's the case, no one can change the rules of the house. Here, everyone is responsible for their own words and actions.

Even Aurora has her own principles. It is not surprising that she would reject you. Everyone has things they care about, and when it comes to things they care about, they will become cautious and unwilling to destroy them.

We care about the Hearth House, so even someone as unconventional as Aurora follows the rules of the house.

A family is a collective composed of many individuals, and she and I, rather than leaders, are more like the cornerstones of the family. No matter what happens, as long as we don't mess up, the family will not fall apart.

Because of this, we have a clear bottom line when it comes to right and wrong. If you cross this line, no matter who you are, you will never be forgiven." Alechino almost condemned Lini and his men.

Little Paimon asked angrily, "You...you don't have any feelings for them? They have always called you father and respected you from the bottom of their hearts.

Saphir is the same! She is obviously the most unruly person, but she is so stubborn in sticking to such unreasonable rules. How can this be possible! "

"Any organization will quickly decline if human relationships outweigh rules. This is especially true for the Hearth House, which is known for its strictness." Alecino was very stable and did not get angry at Paimon's questioning. "The only thing that can comfort you is that as guests, you are not subject to liquidation."

The last sentence could be considered a warning. Logically, Ying should also be held accountable for her involvement in the Krevy incident, but she did not belong to the Hearth House, so Alecino did not intend to pursue the matter.

Ying frowned slightly as she listened to Alechino's words, but her heart was full of questions.

Because what Alechino said was different from what Saphir said.

According to Alechino's words, Linny and the others had no chance at all.

But Safire made it clear that there is still a glimmer of hope.

She wanted to find this ray of hope and save Lini and the others: "Is there no other solution?"

"Linny and the others can probably keep their lives, but Fjöll, Nantei and Krevy..." When she mentioned Krevy's name, Alechino's eyes dimmed for a moment, "If they want to defect, there will be no room for negotiation. No one can leave alive with the secret."

In fact, this is very reasonable. After all, Hearth House is an intelligence organization, not a simple orphanage. Even those people under Ye Lan have to sign a confidentiality agreement if they are transferred to other positions. What's more, the living environment in Hearth House is even more cruel?

Paimon didn't understand the key point and was still sighing to himself: "This... is too cruel."

Looking at the unwilling little Paimon, and then at Ying who was frowning in thought, Alechino suddenly suggested: "How about this, for the sake of the guests, I will wait a little longer.

If during this period, Linnie and the others succeed in making Krevi disappear, and if they destroy the evidence, I will not pursue their fault any further.

Otherwise, I will catch them doing bad things and punish them all severely."

"It's a deal, don't go back on your word!" Ying felt that this was an opportunity. No matter what, at least it had been delayed again.

Just when she thought she had bought some time for Linny, Alechino reached out and handed something over: "Don't worry, there's still this. Keep it and don't lose it again."

It was a magic flying bird, covered by a scarlet magic array and bound by the patterns on the array, unable to move.

"It takes a lot of time to train a magic bird. It would be a pity if it died." Alechino looked at the magic bird in his palm with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Paimeng was so frightened that he fell backwards: "Where did you catch it..."

Alechino simply ignored the question: "Okay, enough small talk, it's time to get down to business.

The reason why I asked you to meet here is because I have to go to Mo Mang Palace to discuss something. It has nothing to do with you, but please stay with me and don't go back to inform me.

Originally, this matter was intended to be handled by Aurora. After all, after experiencing the prophecy incident, her relationship with Violet became better.

But she's probably been very busy these days, so I'll do it myself.

Let’s go, the time is just right.”

Alechino's words told Ying some information.

First of all, Alechino did have important things to do, so this period of time was not something she had fought for, but was something that would have been consumed in the first place.

Then, Saphir was very busy during this period, and Ying began to consider whether she should go to help.

In the end, she and little Paimon were kidnapped, and Alecino would not let them go easily, which made her a little sad.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Ying followed Alecino into Villette's office.

As always, Villette sat upright in his seat, doing his job conscientiously.

Alechino's entry had been announced, so Villette was not surprised by the arrival of the three of them.

Alechino spoke first: "Long time no see, Mr. Villette. I didn't expect that my request for a meeting would be approved so quickly. The efficiency of the Momang Palace is truly admirable."

A sedan chair is carried by many people, and saying more nice things can help things go more smoothly. This is the principle that Alechino follows. In this regard, Saphir is completely opposite to her.

Safire rarely makes complimenting remarks. It's not that she can't, it's just that it's not her style.

In fact, the negotiating styles of executives vary greatly. Rosalind prefers to use her power to pressure others and negotiate with them, just like fighting. This will also cause the relationship between the two parties to become tense.

Alechino is much more sophisticated. She prefers to make the other person feel happy by saying some nice words, and then take the opportunity to make some requests. At the same time, she will also express her intention to cooperate. This is a very common method.

As for Safire, she is another model. Safire's negotiations and cooperation thoroughly implement the status quo of the so-called human relationship society.

What Safire has always been most passionate about is making friends. No matter which country he goes to, he first builds relationships and establishes personal relationships, then uses personal connections to build communication capital, and then finds ways to make the other party owe him a favor.

Finally, senior officials from other countries who have favors in their hands and have a good personal relationship with her often fail to abide by their bottom line and are inexplicably made a fortune by Safir.

After making up for the debt, he clearly felt that he had paid a lot, but after all the calculations, it seemed that the other party still owed Safir an unrepayable favor.

Most people can't learn her method, even Alechino was amazed by it.

Finally, there is Tartaglia, who...

He won't negotiate.

Villette did not take Alechino's compliment to heart, but said in a businesslike manner: "This is necessary respect for a diplomat of such a reputation.

But objectively speaking, I was curious from the beginning as to why Aurora would request a meeting, since every time she walked through this door, she didn't even bother to knock on the door, let alone notify anyone.

Not to mention that it was too formal to apply for an application, which was unlike her."

Ying understood immediately. It turned out that the servant had applied using Saphir's identity. Wasn't this... fraud?

"This is really my mistake. I didn't expect her to be so casual when she was with you. I will be more careful next time." Alechino smiled and evaded the question.

Paimon's eyes widened, "Isn't that the point? No, this...impersonation? What do you mean by be careful next time? Aren't you going to knock on the door?"

Villette's eyebrows twitched and he skipped the topic. He felt that the discussion would go in an uncontrollable direction, so he simply said, "Why don't you tell me your purpose today? Bringing Ying and little Paimon with you is probably not a simple task."

"I will be leaving Fontaine soon, but before I leave, there is one thing that worries me. Actually, you asked me why I applied in Aurora's name. I can only say that this was an accident. I originally planned to let her come to discuss with you this time, but unfortunately, she didn't have time.

That's why I came here. I may not be able to explain it clearly in a few words. I have written a proposal and asked Mr. Villette to review it. "

As she spoke, she walked forward and placed a document on Navillatte's desk. Then she took Ying and little Paimon to sit on the sofa nearby, waiting quietly for Navillatte to look through the document.

After a while, Navilette went through the contents of the document. He put down the paper and looked up at Alechino: "I understand your request. With all due respect, I cannot understand why you do this."

"I heard that Mr. Villette has a hobby of tasting water, so I will use water as a metaphor." Alecino had already thought of the words, "Home is like a huge lake, with countless rivers converging into it and countless rivers rushing out.

As someone who watches the lake every day, I hope that every river that flows out can reach the sea. However, objective facts tell me that this is impossible. Most rivers will dry up halfway, seep into the soil, and never make a sound again. "

Villette's expression changed slightly. He understood what Alecino meant, so he looked at Alecino with a hint of seriousness.

"I want to find some meaning for the water that cannot be seen in the sea. For example, it can irrigate the fields on both sides, or become sweet spring water in someone's cup." Alecino has made it very clear. She is trying to find a way out for the children who have betrayed their families.

But Ying and Paimeng didn't know that. They were still kept in the dark and whispered to each other.

That Villette looked at the calm Alechino, frowned and said, "I have to remind you that no matter how you beautify them, no one wants to taste turbid water."

"It was once turbid water. Don't worry, I will filter out the mud and sand in the water and make it return to its purest state." Alecino promised.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Villette did not immediately establish the cooperation, but said, "Since you mentioned this is a deal, let's talk about the details."

"If Mr. Villet agrees to my proposal, my forces will gradually withdraw from Fontaine. In the future, we will not carry out special missions in Fontaine unless necessary." Alecino vowed.

At this point, Villette became interested: "You mean, there won't be any assassination of Darduff in the future?"

"You mean the hypocrite who embezzled charity funds? I express my deepest condolences for her murder, but there seems to be no evidence pointing to the Hearth House at the moment." Alechino was rarely energetic enough to say something naughty, after all, she was the one who killed this person with her own hands.

But being naughty is her limit. She can't learn the ability of Safire to jump over other people's heads repeatedly, step on the red line while taking a shit, and then ask the other party for paper, and make the other party grateful to her after the deed is done.

She thought about it and said, “Of course, if Mr. Villette agrees to my proposal, I can help do something to reduce similar troubles.

Maybe, similar blood and fire incidents can be completely prevented?"

The Blood and Fire Case, the serious crime committed by Saphir, is put here as if Alechino admits that Saphir will leave soon.

Villette was not happy when he heard this. He rubbed his brows and said, "I don't mean to be intolerant of you. I am not particularly opposed to the Hearth House. Let's put it this way. I agree with your proposal in principle, but you also need to send some people to conduct follow-up observations."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Villette. The deal is done, and we should leave. I asked someone to bring two bottles of spring water from the winter. I hope to have a chance to hear your thoughts next time." Alecino stood up and prepared to leave. "Apologies again for my intrusion. If there is a chance next time, I will let Aurora be in charge of the negotiations with you. Perhaps you would prefer to see her."

"That's not necessary. It's better to negotiate with you. At least we won't lose more." Villette almost gave up and refused directly.

Didn't Saphir need to knock when he came in? It was that Villette who refused to see her. This guy was like a vampire who could always cut flesh from others. Villette thought she didn't have such a big mind and couldn't deal with that guy.

Seeing Villette looking a little nervous, Alecino chuckled and turned away.

Ying quickly stood up, nodded slightly to Villette, and left following Alecino's steps.
