"I'm not a young lady, I'm just the maid of Miss Lollys," she reminded.
However, when he heard her name, the smile on Corleone's lips began to grow stronger.
It's really... it takes no effort at all!
Feeling Corleone's slightly hot gaze, Xue Yi was not disgusted.
Having worked at the bottom for many years, she knows very well what kind of women men are interested in and how to extract value from them.
Of course, Shae has always extracted more than just value.
Facing Corleone's gaze, she straightened her back out of habit, and the thin silk dress perfectly outlined her convex and concave figure.
First he raised his eyes to look at the other person, and then immediately lowered his eyes slightly as if he was frightened, showing a trace of shyness.
Now, this is called professionalism.
"Shae...
99
Sure enough, as she expected, Corleone seemed to be attracted by her beautiful body, repeating the name gently, as if trying to recall its unique rhythm between her lips and teeth.
"A name as beautiful as poetry. She is a perfect match for you. Just now, when you stepped in, I even felt that this corridor was a little brighter because of your arrival."
"I have seen many women, from the Wall to Summer Sea, but I have never seen such a dazzling beauty like you, Miss Shae."
He sighed exaggeratedly and used gorgeous words to praise Xue Yi. The tone of his voice was so sincere that even Xue Yi, who had been covered with a man's body more than once, couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
She raised her head shyly, and then she saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of her.
This man is not tall, but he is not short either. He is very well-proportioned and his appearance may seem a bit ordinary, but the unique temperament exuding from his whole body cannot be ignored.
Xue Yi swore that she had met countless men, but none of them were as special as the person in front of her.
His eyes were dark, and his admiration was undisguised, but they were not offensive at all. On the contrary, they felt more sincere.
More importantly, Corleone just stood there, others could feel his strength and confidence.
Not only that, his language was bold and direct, he was not at all ashamed of his status as a maid, and he repeatedly called her "Miss", which was completely different from Tyrion who could only hide her in the shadows.
For a moment, Xue Yi actually felt her heartbeat speeding up slightly.
But she didn't notice that James' eyes looked a little strange.
He clearly remembered that Corleone was Farmer, a native of the Riverlands. When had he seen the woman from the Wall to the Summer Sea?
To pick up girls is really... shameless.
He shook his head, but he didn't point it out directly, not wanting to ruin Corleone's good deeds.
"Seven gods favor you!"
Here, Corleone's performance continues. "My luck is really good. First, I finalized the future development plan of King's Landing with the Prime Minister, and then I met this beautiful lady like you...
"Taking care of such a special lady must require a lot of patience and love. This is no easy task. I bet, Miss Shae, you must be a very, very kind person."
"It's a pity that I'm really too busy." Corleone spread his hands, with a trace of helplessness in his tone. "Otherwise, I must invite you to dinner today."
As he spoke, he glanced at James with his own light, and the two looked at each other tacitly, and then turned slightly sideways so that they could see the heavy money bag behind Yego.
"Look, in order to successfully reorganize the order in King's Landing, necessary expenses are always necessary, but it doesn't matter. If you invest a small amount of money temporarily, you can get a thousand-fold return in the future."
He spoke in an understatement, as if the bag of gold coins were just daily expenses.
In his words, he kept emphasizing the words "Prime Minister" and "King's Future Plan", implying that he not only has close contacts with top dignitaries, but also has strong financial resources.
Looking at the heavy money bag, Xue Yi couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
According to her experience, if it contains Gold Dragon, then there are at least thousands of them!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but touch the pearl necklace around her neck.
It was a gift given to her by Lannister Tyrion, but even if he was as rich as him, the necklace was only worth one hundred and fifty Gold Dragon. At this point, the power and wealth displayed by Corleone gave Shae no reason not to believe that the man in front of her was definitely a top noble of noble birth!
Although she had never heard of the surname Corleone, there were so many nobles in Westeros over the past tens of thousands of years that it was impossible for her to remember them all clearly.
Moreover, just looking at the extremely casual attitude of the other party when talking to Jaime Lannister can already explain everything.
Catching the fluctuation in her eyes, Corleone knew in her heart that the heat was almost over.
He deliberately got closer, leaned forward slightly and leaned into Xue Yi's ear. In a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly, he said half-jokingly, "You know, Miss Xue Yi."
"Looking at you, I suddenly feel that instead of wasting time on endless business and intrigues, it would be better to find a smart and beautiful lady like you to spend the rest of my life with."
The warm breath hit Xue Yi's neck, making her shiver and even want to go further.
However, at this moment, Corleone quietly stepped away, with a more charming and somewhat joking smile on his face, and joked half-seriously, "Perhaps, I should seriously consider it and find myself a... Mrs. Corleone."
Mrs. Corleone!
These words rang in Xue Yi's ears, and even though she was as scheming as she was, she couldn't help but her cheeks instantly turned red, and her eyes burst out with a light of extreme desire.
That's a real title of nobility!
She gritted her teeth and almost blurted out. "I do!"
But reason still made Xue Yi suppress the excitement in her heart, calm down the expression on her face, and raised her head to prepare to say something.
Just say something like "Sir, you really know how to joke" to make the other party have a better impression of you.
But at this moment, Corleone suddenly straightened up, the enthusiasm on his face receded like the tide, and returned to his previous elegant and calm posture.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she even vaguely noticed an indifferent feeling of alienation in Corleone.
However, this feeling of alienation made Xue Yi feel even more excited, and her two slender thighs couldn't help but close together slightly.
This reaction couldn't escape Corleone's Insight, but he just turned around and ignored her, and his own light fell on the white paper under James' arm.
"As Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, you have a lot of leisure time. Not only do you take on important tasks such as escorting noble ladies," you even have time to delve into knowledge."
"Why, are you planning to give up martial arts and follow literature and go to the academy to further your studies?"
This half-joking casual tone made Xue Yi on the side more and more convinced of Corleone's "identity".
James, on the other hand, held up the heavy book with a plain white cover and pretended to be relaxed, shaking it: "This is "The Book of the White Knight"."
"Each of the Kingsguard has a page that records their life and deeds, but not long ago, we discovered that there was no record at all on the page about Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer."
"Perhaps the previous captain, Barristan Ser, thought that I was not qualified to appear here."
As he spoke, a trace of unnoticeable loneliness flashed in his eyes. "But fortunately, now I am Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. The king thinks that I have broken my hand and cannot protect him, so I thought... maybe I should do something interesting before I completely turn into a useless old man."
"For example, continue writing this book and fill in the deeds of every sworn brother who has fought alongside me as much as possible."
Although this guy forced a smile, Corleone could still hear the deep bitterness in his words.
Having lost his right hand to wield the sword and being forced to stay away from the core of power, this once proud knight is now trying to find the meaning of his existence in another way.
"Recording history sometimes requires more courage and wisdom than creating history."
He commented in a calm tone, then took a step back and nodded politely. "I won't delay your schedule, James Ser, business matters are important."
After saying that, Corleone didn't even look at Xue Yi again, just left a meaningful smile, then turned and left with Yego without any nostalgia.
The movements were crisp and neat, without any sloppiness.
This sudden withdrawal was in huge contrast to the fiery flirtation just now.
Xue Yi stared blankly at his tall and straight back disappearing around the corner of the corridor, as if everything just now was just a short and gorgeous dream.
His fingertips were still trembling slightly, and he felt a little lost in his heart.
"Corleone...
99
She couldn't help but murmur to herself, secretly comparing him with Tyrion, and when she caught a glimpse of Lollys Stokeworth squatting on the ground beside her and starting to draw circles with his fingers, she immediately felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
Why?
Why could that Tyrion only let her hide in the shadows, even serving this so-called "noble lady" with low intelligence every day!
But Corleone... was able to show her strong love so calmly!
She went to great lengths to force Tyrion to bring her to King's Landing, not to be a maid, or to be a mistress who would never see the light of day and who would come and go when called upon!
Xue Yi raised her head, and the light began to become a little hot.
The name Corleone, together with his power and wealth, has been pierced deeply into his heart like a dagger filled with poison.
On the other side, as he was about to walk out of the Red Castle, Yego suddenly couldn't help but muttered in blunt common language, "Why don't you tell him, the blood of my blood?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Corleone turned his head and saw dissatisfaction written all over his face, "Who are you talking about?"
"Jaime Lannister!"
Yego raised his voice slightly. "Why don't you tell him that his half-human brother is a liar and that the Lannister has not repaid their debts at all!"
"That's all they gave me!"
As he spoke, he patted the money bag behind his back vigorously, making a dull sound.
"No, Yego."
Seeing the upright Warrior's indignant look, Corleone did not blame him, but patiently explained, "Jaime Lannister is tired enough."
"He lost his hand and now he's losing his position. He needs a moment to breathe."
Hearing this, Yego nodded thoughtfully. "In Dothraki, people often say that even the best running horse needs a moment of rest."
"That's the truth."
Corleone praised, then stopped and looked back at him. "The debt does not need to be claimed through disputes between brothers, we can solve it ourselves."
"Gold Dragon was locked up in a warehouse, and the person guarding it was an inhumane mouse."
"We'll open the warehouse, all we need is a key big enough to pick the lock."
