Chapter 85: Rita's Plan

Faced with Kiana's description, Rita was actually speechless.

The maid thought about it carefully in her mind, and it seemed to be true...

"So... my XP is like this?" Rita felt that she might be a little confused.

But now that she thinks about it when she was on the Hyperion in the past.

She would often make very subtle moves to tease the captain in front of other people.

she admired the captain's blushing and patient expression... and she always stopped in time when the captain's face turned red with excitement and he couldn't help himself...

Rita slowly lowered her head with a faint blush on her cheeks and held her slightly hot cheeks with her hands.

Especially that time in the gym, when Lady Durandal had her back to herself and the captain... and was doing squats with weights.

she noticed the captain's dodging eyes, like a teenage boy, wanting to look but not daring to look...

Then, under the pretext of helping the captain correct his movement posture, she moved closer to the captain and intentionally or unintentionally rubbed the captain lightly with the front armor on her chest a few times.

'Now I think about it, was it because the behavior at that time was too exciting? Or was it because the "victim" at that time was actually Lady Durandal?'

'No! No! Rita, wake up. Now is not the time to think about these messy things.' Rita forced herself to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

"You are a very observant person. But you had already noticed it at that time, so why didn't you stop me?"

Rita's eyes were filled with a hint of surprise, and then she pretended to understand and said, "Oh? Could it be that Kiana..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Kiana yelled with her face flushed, "Don't spit blood on me!"

Rita smiled cunningly: "I haven't said anything yet... Miss Kiana..."

Rita smiled, while Kiana blushed and fell silent.

After a long silence, Kiana finally said, "The past was the past, and the present is now..."

Rita nodded, adding, "Yes, now is now."

"What do you mean?" Kiana clearly sensed that Rita had something else in mind.

"Ms. Kiana, I think there are other options between us besides hostility." Rita sat on the sofa again, next to Kiana.

"Other options?" There was a hint of curiosity and a strong sense of vigilance in Kiana's eyes.

But no one could tell what Rita was up to.

"It's simple. We don't have any important reasons to be hostile, right?" Rita said meaningfully, "After all, now is not the time to fight Honkai together..."

"As long as your own martial arts skills are strong, that's enough."

Rita slowly said what she was thinking: "In the process of fighting for the captain, maybe we can use force to tie the captain to our side."

"But the most important premise is that we cannot go against the captain's wishes..."

"After all, a forced melon may quench your thirst temporarily, but it is not a long-term solution."

"Obviously the other Valkyries, who were already carried away, didn't realize this."

"In the end, I can't think of any other outcome except messing up the life of the captain who has no memory of the Honkai." Rita said slowly.

"Moreover, Kiana, you have been favored by the captain for such a long time, and now you will not be willing to share the captain's love with others, right?" The persuasive voice was like the whisper of the devil.

Then Rita turned to look at Kiana: "Don't worry, I don't covet your position as your legal wife, and I won't disturb you..."

"My request is very simple. All I need is for you to reserve a seat for me, a little maid, in this small dessert shop..."

She stroked her cheek with one hand and licked her lips hungrily with her tongue as if she were fantasizing about a beautiful future.

After all, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as an adulterer... This is a shortcoming that men have been unable to control since ancient times.

Kiana fell silent at this time, obviously shocked by Rita's words.

At the same time, Rita's words also ignited a spark of ambition in Kiana's heart.

"Kiana, you need allies." Rita stretched out her hand and grabbed Kiana's slightly larger palm.

"Like I said before, winning this war does not rely on pure force. I think the others are on their way here, and time is running out." Rita stood up slowly, "By the way, Kiana... maybe there is something you don't know."

Rita smiled and looked back: "The last time, which was a few days ago. The time when Mei said she found clues about the captain..."

"If it weren't for 'me', I'm afraid the captain would have been pinned down and executed in the kitchen at the bar on the first floor by the impatient Miss Mei..."

"It seems that sometimes having too good a room quality and soundproofing is not a good thing."

"What!" This time Kiana was so shocked that she couldn't control her expression. "How could Mei do this?"

"Hmm?" Rita gave Kiana a look that said, "You know this isn't a good thing to do..."

Successfully made Kiana shut up angrily again.

"By doing this, isn't this a disguised betrayal of Durandal, who has always been with you?" Kiana said.

"In order to prevent the top combat forces on Earth from being lost in this operation... Lady Durandal, Bishop Theresa, and Ms. Raven did not participate in this operation just in case."

"Then should I be thankful that I have two fewer opponents?" Kiana sighed, "I think your alliance with me is temporary. In order to retain the battle for the captaincy for Durandal, the next chance will be real, right?"

Rita did not deny this statement: "There is a part of the reason for this..."

Hearing this, Kiana fell into silence again...

But there was one thing Rita said that was very true. She was indeed too weak and alone now and needed help from allies.

Moreover, as a former member of the Hyperion trio, Kiana knew very well that beneath Mei's normal appearance, there was actually a bit of a yandere attribute hidden.

Beneath Bronya's cold expression, she has a passionate heart.

In fact, some of Rita's previous words particularly touched Kiana's heart.

For example, once you have received all the captain's love, you are unwilling to give away even a little bit of it.

Even if Rita wanted to eat some of her own leftovers, she would hesitate.
