"Maggie! You didn't wipe the floor!"
"Lola, come on! Apricot cheese, madeleines! Oh shit, Belia's gonna wake up in a minute..."
Liu Yu woke up in a burst of familiar jumping.
Mrs. Fergus's vibrant voice was transmitted to the second floor very penetratingly. She stared at the ceiling for a while, and then gradually regained her consciousness.
It was Gaia who carried her back to her room last night.
He said good night to her politely, pulled the quilt for her, kissed her hair and forehead, and then said goodbye to her—it has to be said that most of the time, he behaved like a very outstanding, elegant And polite noble gentleman.
This made her feel a little unreal.
Gaia's image was constantly swaying in front of her, as if it had been split into two halves.
Half of it belongs to the sun. When he is calm and happy, he is like an elegant gentleman, gentle and charming. Half, but belongs to the night, when he is provoked, he is like a dictatorial tyrant, and the only object of dictatorship is himself.
He loves to control her so much. At that time, she can even feel his satisfaction from body to heart, as if he really had a passionate and uncontrollable emotion for her.
Liu Yu stared blankly out of boredom.
He even fired a bright bomb into the air, and only when the bright bomb exploded into fireworks did he get off the bed.
She found a small rose flower on the window sill.
There are even dewdrops rolling on the white petals, as if they were just picked off from the branches. The thorns on the branches and leaves were carefully pulled out, and she inserted the roses into the blue thin-necked vase beside the bed.
The small white flowers spread out in the narrow mouth of the bottle, which is extremely beautiful.
Sent by Gaia.
Needless to say.
She could even imagine that scene.
Facing the first ray of sunshine and the morning dew, the young man in white robe walked into the back garden of Fergus's house and picked a rose flower, and then held the bird to her window sill so that she could wake up and take a look at it for the first time. you can see it.
As he said last night:
"... When I decide to accept your love, I will take it seriously, and I will never be perfunctory."
This is what he takes seriously.
Liu Yu flipped the corolla lightly, smiled slightly, and ran into Mrs. Fergus when she went downstairs.
As soon as she saw her, she immediately shrank from an arrogant crab to a timid mole.
"Bei, Belia... are you up? Did you sleep well last night?"
She smiled flatteringly at her, it's strange that a woman of this age can give people an illusion of "innocence", but all of this, when she yelled at the servants frantically again, Disappeared.
It's exactly the same as in the novel.
Liu Yu thought, smiled and said:
"Mother, I want to eat the madeleines you just mentioned, and... where is Gaia?"
"Maggie! Bring the madeleines, cocoa, and cheese to the dining room! These servants are getting lazy..." Mrs. Fergus complained habitually, and then said, "Mr. Leslie is out, I have prepared a carriage for him."
"Going out?" Liu Yu said in surprise, "Mom, he can't see!"
"So what?" Mrs. Fergus shrugged, "Our Fergus family doesn't have the habit of forcing guests, and, you know... Although I am very grateful for Mr. Leslie's help yesterday, I don't approve of it. You marry him!"
"You had a great conversation with him yesterday!"
"Yes, yes, there is no denying that Mr. Leslie is indeed a very pleasant young man. But Belia, you are my favorite daughter, and I have to plan for you... a blind man, how will you live in the future ? He is your crutch, you are his eyes? Oh, don't be naive, this world...is not as simple as you think."
Mrs. Fergus said rather harshly, "Don't look at me like that, Belia, I didn't force him to leave, he is going out by himself, and I have prepared a carriage."
Liu Yu helplessly:
"... I know, you must have said some nasty things... But, he will not be forced to leave, but please be polite to my guest. He is not an ordinary person, and even Lord Bruce appreciates him a lot. "
She knew that once Bishop Bruce was moved out, it would be useful.
Sure enough, Mrs. Fergus immediately changed her face:
"Bishop Bruce? Oh, God of Light, I said something bad... What, what should I do?"
"It's okay, Gaia won't care about it, he is very tolerant."
To be exact, I don't care at all.
"Mother, call me another carriage, and I will go find him."
Liu Yu drank the cocoa in one gulp, and then ordered Maggie to pack the cookies and baguettes. Gaia left her, which made her a little uneasy, especially when she thought of the abnormal state of the statue of the God of Light when she passed the center of the city-state on the first day— I couldn't sit still anymore.
"Hey, Belia, the city-state is so big, how do you find it? Why don't you wait for the coachman to come back—"
"No!" The girl ran out like a wind, "Mom, I'm going to try my luck!"
Mrs. Fergus had no choice but to call a carriage to take her out, and said earnestly:
"Belia, remember, before a man proposes to you, love yourself."
"Oh! Of course, of course!" Liu Yu smiled purely and promised, "I won't forget it. Mother, see you tonight!"
"See you tonight, Bella."
She kissed Mrs. Fergus lightly on the cheek, waved her hand and left.
...
Of course Liu Yu wasn't looking for it aimlessly.
After coming out from the bottom of the lake, for some reason, she could always faintly feel Gaia's orientation: east, or west; south, or north. A general direction, though less specific.
The fat driver's temper was obviously very good, and he followed the noble lady's instructions without any complaints, constantly adjusting the route.
After walking for more than two hours, the carriage stopped in front of a black lacquered gate carved with rose patterns.
In front of the door, a young guard in a well-dressed uniform stared at the carriage warily.
The coachman bent down and opened the door:
"Miss Fergus, here we are."
Liu Yu held on to the handle and got out of the carriage awkwardly.
She saw the familiar minaret building, musical fountain, and rose flower gate at a glance.
This is... Sauron College
Gaia, why are you here
She was thoughtful.
"Miss Fergus, I can't get in the door."
The coachman told her.
"You just wait here."
Unregistered carriages are not allowed to enter: now that she has graduated from Sauron College.
Liu Yu clings to the small parasol and walks to the door like a proud nobleman:
"I request a visit to the academy."
Her astonishing beauty obviously impressed the doorman deeply.
However, facing the girl's ankle-length blond hair and ice-blue eyes, the young guard narrowed his eyes and carefully identified it for a while before bowing down and saluting:
"Miss Fergus? Have you returned from Guangming Academy?"
Liu Yu noticed that there was pity in his eyes when he landed on her left shoulder.
"Yes, I left my badge in the academy, I want to go in and look for it, okay?"
She smiled softly at the guard.
"Oh, of course! Miss Fergus can come in whenever she wants!"
Under the obsessed eyes of the guard, Liu Yu successfully entered Sauron Academy.
As soon as you get close, the induction is not so accurate.
Liu Yu could only go all the way in along the boulevard, but she could probably guess what Gaia was doing here.
He has been very interested in the matter of "finding himself" recently, and now he is probably here to "trace the roots".
Stone Statues…
music fountain…
She remembered that it was on the rockery behind the fountain, passing through a fiery red bush.
When Liu Yu was holding a parasol and walking slowly on the campus, she had already attracted the attention of others.
After all, such beauty is rare.
But what is even more rare is her graceful body with one arm missing. When the wind blows her golden, wavy long hair and the hem of her snow-white skirt, the empty sleeves with one arm missing Then sway-
A teenager stopped her.
He was wearing a college uniform with gold edging on a white background, he was thin and small, his hair was oiled and combed back, and he smiled coquettishly at her with a greasy passerby face:
"Miss Fergus? Long time no see."
Liu Yu also noticed that the man put a lot of powder on his face.
It's a pity that it can't cover the dozen or so huge acne.
"you are… "
She lifted the parasol up, revealing her icy blue eyes. She managed to see the other's dull eyes, and was about to walk around him.
When passing by, he was grabbed.
The empty sleeve fell into the opponent's hand, and the young man stroked it:
"Miss Fergus, you don't remember me? At the prince's ball, you danced several times with me... Oh, you also said that you want to marry me. My father is the Duke of Rodney."
Duke Rodney
The fat... Mrs. Fergus' generous patron
Liu Yu was dumbfounded:
This is really a big pot of dog blood pouring down.
"I didn't say that." She denied it with a cold face, and unconsciously looked at the fiery red bushes in the distance, hoping that Gaia would not be there, "You must have misunderstood."
"Miss Fergus, this is wrong. You even accepted a rose ring from me as a token... Of course, this is your wishful thinking, but my Rodney family doesn't mind having an extra mistress."
Little Rodney said proudly.
Rose ring
Liu Yu thought of the ring buried in the belly of the snake with his arm: ...
"No!" She put on a straight face, trying to pull out the empty cuff from little Rodney's hand, "...that rose ring was given to me by my mother, it's very cheap, fifty rupees each, Mr. Rodney, you can't Because you see me wearing it, you slander me! The God of Light bears witness!"
Seeing that he refused to let go, he exerted a strong force—
"tear-"
The sleeve is torn.
A white piece of silk fell to the ground.
Unexpectedly, this scene seemed to anger the young man:
"You, Belia Fergus, a cripple, dare to reject the noble Rodney?!"
"Do you think you're still that noble godly one? Haha, a godless one without an arm? What can you do, rub your poor hand against the walls of a temple? . . . I, Rodney, would still give You should be satisfied with your position as a mistress!... "
Liu Yu really wanted to give him a "Bah", but considering the cultivation of the nobility, he gave up.
Sheep change...
She looked around. Just now, she was surrounded by Rodney's followers, a dozen of them.
The time is too short, unless you turn yourself into a sheep.
But there is no escape from this.
She didn't want to be touched by these disgusting hands.
The followers laughed.
"Mr. Rodney, don't you still regret that you won't be able to taste Miss Fergus when she becomes a divinely favored person?"
"She used to be so arrogant and always looked down on others. If she hadn't been suppressed by school rules, she would have been..."
"Now she is not from our academy..."
Liu Yu's complexion got worse and worse.
"Hold her!"
Little Rodney viciously knocked off the parasol in Liu Yu's hand.
When the girl's beauty was exposed to the sun without any hindrance, everyone swallowed their saliva.
"Mr. Rodney, you are done playing, or give us..."
Although the nobles are not allowed to kill each other, as long as there is no resignation, the city guard will turn a blind eye to the romantic affair between the heir of the grand duke and a daughter of a down-and-out viscount.
They laughed hehehe.
At this moment, a huge gust of wind swept over, blowing everyone to this side.
A white figure suddenly appeared.
His long silver hair fluttered in the wind, his holy face was as cold as ice and snow, and he stretched out his hand—
A vast golden light fell from the sky and turned into a dozen golden swords.
"In the name of the holy light, with the endowment of the gods—"
"Judgment."
Under the vast golden light, the sharp sword mercilessly passed through the crowd.
"what-"
"what-"
"my hand!"
"My hand is gone!"
Amidst the countless howls, the teenagers who were about to commit atrocities against Liu Yu just now rolled on the ground in pain. The golden sword swept across, their left arms melted like snow, and disappeared out of thin air—without a trace of blood.
It looked like someone had played a joke on them.
"Ga... ya?"
The young man turned his head.
The girl rushed into his arms all at once:
"You're finally here..."
She said with a sob.
The young man's hand stayed on top of her head for a while, and finally let it go:
"sorry, I do not know… "
"I really want to hug you, like before." The girl raised her head, tears streaming down her face, "Unfortunately, I can't. Gaia, I can't."
"I can never hug you again."
she says.
The young man's drooping face unexpectedly showed a touch of sadness:
"Belia..."
"You come with me to the temple. I'll find a way to heal you, I promise."
"Really?" She looked up, "but what about my mother?"
"The weight of a star knight is enough for the royal family to protect Mrs. Fergus."
He lowered his head and gently wiped away her tears, then asked, "... So, now you can tell me about the rose flower ring."
