Chapter 21 The Year of Chaos(2/2)
"I heard others say that she was dumped or cheated on her relationship or something. Anyway, her temperament has changed drastically in the past year, and even the design of her clothes has suddenly changed."
"In the past, it was a normal style that everyone could appreciate, but now the clothes are so weird. Not only are they bright red and purple, but they are also extraordinarily flamboyant and strange."
"Many old customers don't like this change, but strangely a group of young women are addicted to it, saying that this is the wave of the new era and a symbol of female independence."
"However, although they are not adaptable, people in the larger fashion circle do recognize this development and vigorously praise it."
"Forget it, never mind, this kind of lady has nothing to do with me anyway."
The two chatted and talked about various situations on the front line today.
After successive setbacks in Crancia, the empire's offensive became conservative and began to build various fortifications, preparing to maintain the occupied areas for a long time and gradually annex them as part of the empire.
Moreover, in order to enhance the stability of the occupied areas, more soldiers were recruited from within the empire to suppress and monitor the situation in the occupied areas.
Faced with this situation, Crancia also began to launch a counterattack. After recovering some land in the early stage, it also began to encounter various fortresses that were defended. Relying on the newly built cannons, the empire guarded these strongholds and gave the nobles who guarded them great autonomy.
As long as you hold on for a certain period of time, the land will be permanently given to the family as a fief.
With this level of motivation, many great nobles mobilized various resources and managed to hold on to these cities under Clanscia's attack.
After suffering a lot of casualties during the siege, the Crancia military began several large-scale discussions. In the end, the offensive surprisingly slowed down and they no longer carried out the siege regardless of sacrifice.
"Perhaps the military is preparing special things or means. I heard from some old classmates that a lot of supplies covered with black cloth have been mobilized on the main line recently."
"We just need to fulfill our responsibilities well, believe in the leadership of the country, and believe in the teachings of the sage."
As they talked, the voices of the two gradually became quieter. One of them seemed to have gone to sleep, while the other was working the night shift and turned up the lights a little more.
Sitting in the cold detention room, the blond lady raised her head slightly and looked at the faint light coming from the window above her head, which was the afterglow of the starry sky at night.
Her face is slightly clear in the cold light. If you look carefully, you will recognize that this is the fashion designer and alchemy master who has become popular in the capital in recent years, Letis.
After gaining wealth and fame, this woman with both beauty and intelligence quickly attracted a lot of attention, and countless young talents violently pursued her, including artists, talented people, military officers, rich people, etc.
In the dazzling pursuit, she was still able to refuse at first, but later she was finally moved by one of the tenacious suitors and agreed to become her lover.
But this relationship did not usher in a happy ending. After becoming lovers, the man began to reveal many of his hidden qualities and eagerly wanted to have a relationship with Letis.
But as the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in the past, Letis soon woke up from the drowsiness of love, found something strange in this, and repeatedly rejected the other party. In the end, the man became angry and prepared to use violence, but Letis directly used a spell to kill him.
He left, and the relationship ended.
Because she injured the other party during the conflict, Letis was detained by the security station and was released after a week of detention. After that, her temperament also changed, and she seemed to no longer believe in some good things. She also designed more and more clothes.
Using dark elements, her beautiful face was also painted with smoky makeup.
Yesterday, when several of her other sisters were shopping on the street, they encountered a conservative old man who judged her arbitrarily, saying that she was immoral and had specially designed some devilish clothes, which was offensive.
Faced with such words, the fashion designer responded with sarcastic words, which triggered a quarrel. In the end, she bought herself and each sister a single ring in a jewelry store as a sign of never ending.
Marry someone to show off your unique style.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, this woman was so independent and strong in heart. But at this moment, Letis looked at the ring on her finger, and countless sighs rose in her heart.
She once lived a luxurious and noble life, experienced many difficulties and tribulations, and achieved the scenes of her past dreams. However, there always seemed to be a part of her heart that could not settle down, and she still sat in a cold corner, without any chance of warmth.
What kind of people and things are you asking for?
With doubts and sadness, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep again. In her dream, she seemed to return to her carefree childhood, and recalled the happy and simple life in the college.
Everyone sang songs together to celebrate her birthday.
They called their names, 'Letis, Letis...'
She didn't know how much time had passed in her sleep, but a voice woke her up.
"Letis, someone is looking for you." The police officer's voice came from outside the railing of the detention room.
