Chapter 366: Garen's Good Guy Card
Mind reading is definitely a nightmare for middle-aged couples.
But for a young couple who fall in love at first sight but are too shy to express their true feelings to each other, it can play a positive role as a catalyst for their relationship.
The rapid progress of Levi and Seraphine was inseparable from the multiple assists of mind reading.
And now...
"What's wrong?" Garen looked at Sona curiously: "What did you see, Sona?"
"I..." Sona stroked her heaving chest with lingering fear, and finally managed to catch her breath. But the pink blush on her face seemed to be painted with thick ink and took a long time to dissipate.
"Let me see?" Galen became even more curious.
"No!" Sona, Lux and Katarina objected at the same time.
Sona was just shy and didn't say anything.
Katarina looked at Garen with an almost pleading look, begging him to leave her a little bit of dignity.
Lux also realized something. She looked at her brother with disdain, warning him with her eyes not to bully little girls.
Galen: “…”
Well, he could probably guess what was going through Katharina's mind when she saw him.
We are all adults over 18 years old. If you understand some things, you will understand them. If you understand, you can figure them out by yourself. If you don’t understand, it’s not convenient to explain it too clearly. If you explain it, everyone will look bad...
Of course, the truth is not as shocking as Garen imagined. It's just that Sona was too young to stand the shock and her reaction was a bit extreme. After all, the picture that an 18-year-old "pure farm girl" can imagine is not that shocking. At most, it's just holding hands and kissing...
"General Galen!" Catalina gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to use a Death Lotus to send all the people who knew about it to hell, and said, "Is this all right?"
"Yeah." Galen nodded subconsciously.
But he was still very cautious and signaled Sona to check the memories of LeBlanc and Talon as well.
Sona tried to calm down, and after some investigation, she finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the three of them.
"Ms. Kana, thank you for your help this time. Since everyone is fine, we won't bother you anymore..." As he said this, Garen saw that the atmosphere was awkward and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
Catalina also hoped that he would take those two German brats and leave as soon as possible, but...
"Ahem." Leblanc gave him a secret look from the side.
"Lord Garen." Katarina had no choice but to step forward and quickly catch up with Garen's back.
"Hmm?" Leblanc gave him another look.
Katharina was helpless.
She could only follow what the officer had taught her in advance and take the initiative to stretch out her slender hand to hold Galen's big hand.
Katarina's movements were not very fast, so she could definitely dodge. When she quickly approached Garen from behind, Garen had already noticed her movements.
However……
Galen stiffened.
But he instinctively did not dodge. Instead, he let Catalina hold his big hand and capture his back as he walked away.
"Very good!" Leblanc's eyes showed a look of success, and she signaled Katarina to continue the performance.
"General Galen, you..." Catalina gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you free tonight?"
"Huh?!" Sona turned around and looked over immediately, as if she had thought of some terrifying scene.
"This..." Garen seemed unable to control her enthusiasm. His face turned red and he muttered softly, "This, this is not good, right? Miss Kana, we have only known each other for one day..."
"No, it's not what you think!" Catalina was almost so embarrassed that her veins popped out. Fortunately, she had strong self-control and managed to maintain her shy expression: "I just want you to stay here and chat with me, General."
"Chat?" Galen was stunned.
He looked at Catalina's hand that was tightly holding his and refused to let go, feeling the soft touch coming from her palm.
Is this... a date invitation?
Yes. LeBlanc's arrangement is that straightforward.
Since mind reading can allow Katarina to reveal her "true feelings" and let Galen know her feelings and completely let down her guard, she might as well strike while the iron is hot and directly invite him out on a date.
Young boys and girls talk by candlelight at night.
It looks romantic and not dangerous.
After all, this is the territory of the leader and a military base under the absolute control of the coalition forces.
But if Garen agreed, and stayed alone in the barracks controlled by Katarina, Leblanc, and Talon with a relaxed attitude as if he were on a date...
With any luck, they might be able to complete their mission tonight and eliminate the target quietly.
"Lord Galen." Katarina just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and end this shameful and painful torture: "Are you willing?"
"I..." Galen hesitated.
Until just now, he had viewed Katarina calmly and rationally, with the attitude of a German general viewing a Noxian spy.
And now, Catalina has been proven not to be an undercover agent. She is just a young girl who is grateful to him and loves him.
What about him? Putting aside the concerns about family and national affairs, how does he feel about Catalina?
"Hehe." Leblanc interjected at the right time.
"Lord Garen." She deliberately teased with her energetic face, "Why don't you do the same as my sister and ask this mage to help you?"
Sona was terrified and was about to refuse.
But Garen said first: "No need, Sona."
Garen could figure out the answer without Sona reading his mind .
Because he hesitated this time.
As a time-tested feudal lord and warrior, the fact that he showed such hesitation in response to a lady's invitation to a date showed that he was somewhat moved.
Perhaps this is the legendary love at first sight?
Galen looked at Katarina.
The red hair that fell between her delicate collarbones and her fair cheeks that were set off by the bright red hair made him feel strangely fond of them. It was as if they were meant to be a couple.
"but--"
"I refuse!" Garen finally shook his head and gave Katarina a nice guy card.
"Huh?" Katarina's expression was almost unbearable: "Why? Lord Galen, don't you like..."
"No." Galen looked serious.
Now that Catalina has revealed her true feelings, he will stop pretending.
He said bluntly: "It is because I have some feelings for you that I can't agree to you."
"Because just like Lux said..." Garen looked at his sister and said what Lux had said during the day: "You and I are not equal now, Miss Kana."
Garen's identity is General Debon, while Katarina's current identity is just a refugee girl.
When two people with completely different identities and statuses are together, can the so-called love that transcends class really arise?
Basically impossible.
Because no matter how you say "I only love you as a person", this person's identity, status, wealth, class and other external conditions are already clearly in front of you.
You can't ignore the impact it has on you.
In the end, you may not be able to tell whether you love the person or his or her billions of wealth.
If he or she does not have so much income and is not a good match for you, will you still like him or her? This question is also difficult to answer.
"I have also been reading the books of the Leaders recently." Galen said, "I don't agree with all of the Leaders' knowledge, but I also like one of their words -"
"A marriage determined by the class status of the parties involved is nothing more than a crude transaction."
Galen was deeply touched by this.
The princes and nobles of Demacia are usually high and mighty and seem to be omnipotent, but can any of them have true love?
To them, marriage is nothing more than a crude political deal.
Even Galen's parents, the model aristocratic couple who had been in love for many years, were just a pair of "commodities" forced together by family marriage in a naked exchange of interests.
"And Miss Kana, you said you like me, but can you tell whether your feelings come from your love for me as a person, gratitude to me, or admiration for my status as a general?"
"You?!" Katarina was a little angry. Of course, she only wanted Garen's head!
"General Galen, are you suspecting that I am after your wealth?"
"No." Galen shook his head.
If Katarina was just trying to curry favor with him in order to marry into a wealthy family, Sona would definitely be able to read it and would definitely remind him.
So he was willing to believe that this girl really liked him, and he was also really interested in Katarina.
"But as I said before, we are not on equal footing."
"Your love for me may just come from the ordinary people's instinctive admiration for the strong, from gratitude to me, rather than understanding me - after all, we have only known each other for one day."
"So I can't accept your invitation." Galen said seriously, "Like my sister said, if I use my status as a general to easily win your favor, it would be a disguised form of bullying you."
"I wish not to do that. It's a sign of respect for you, Miss Kana."
"This..." Catalina was speechless.
Is there something wrong with this man?!
When it comes to love, equality is the key. Does this mean she should regain her status as the legitimate daughter of the Kekao family and come back to seduce him?
"General Galen," Catalina asked, "What do you want in exchange for accepting me?"
Galen replied, "I am willing to , Miss Kana."
"It's just like Lux said:"
"I suggest you take the Leader's Ideological and Cultural Course first, understand the concept of equality for all, and then examine your own heart. If you are still interested in me at that time, then we... ahem."
Galen blushed and said, "It's not too late for us to talk later."
Katrina: “…”
I want to sleep with you, but I have to take a theoretical course first?
She almost couldn't hold back and used Flash Step, followed by Wait for the Opportunity, followed by Catapult Flying Blade, followed by Flash Step, followed by Death Lotus to take down the entire field.
"Hmm?" Leblanc narrowed her eyes.
"Okay." Katarina gritted her teeth and said humbly like a humble dog: "Lord Galen, for you..."
“I’d like to go to class.”
