There was silence in the entire hall. Although the old mage was a demon, it was almost impossible to escape under the attack of two strong human beings at the same time. The butler looked at the old mage in disbelief. The two of them had worked together since the young lady came to this castle. After getting along for so many years, they knew each other well.
The old mage is a gentle and kind person, and she seldom gets angry with others. Although occasionally she will teach those stinky men who offend Miss Emma by their eyes, she has never really dealt a heavy hand, at most, she caused the other party to suffer minor injuries , retreated despite difficulties.
From a personal point of view, the housekeeper felt that the old mage was a good man, a gentle and good man, but he never thought that this gentle and good man would actually be a demon.
"Why?" The butler still had an expression of disbelief on his face: "Why do you treat Miss like this? Among all of us, you are the one who loves Miss the most?"
There was a hint of pain on the face of the old mage, but it disappeared very quickly, so quickly that no one noticed. She chuckled and said, "Why? Because I am a devil, and because she is the pawn appointed by our master. It's just that I didn't expect that my disguise for so many years would be seen through so quickly."
Hearing this answer, the butler closed his eyes, feeling sad for the young lady. The descendants of the royal family have always grown up in an environment of intrigue. After Miss Emma came here, she got along with the old mage day and night. The two of them were almost like mother and daughter. If she knew this, the housekeeper could imagine how painful it would be. come out.
The butler very much hoped that this was just his own nightmare, but the clenched fist, the nails piercing into the flesh of the palm, the pain told him that this was just a wish.
"What are you going to do with her?" The housekeeper looked at Liang Lidong with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
For the housekeeper's mind. Liang Lidong could guess it, but he thought about it for a while and said: "Emma should have dealt with this matter, and I will be responsible for capturing her later. Let's talk about the specifics when Emma comes back."
"Then let her go!"
A clear girlish voice came from Liang Lidong's back. Liang Lidong turned sideways, turned his head and saw Emma standing at the main entrance. The girl's frail and petite figure was illuminated by the moonlight, her face was hidden in the shadows that the moonlight could not reach, and her expression could not be seen clearly, but everyone could feel the great pain from her voice.
Liang Lidong understood, and slowly stepped back a few steps. Seeing this, Kyle also put away his weapon.
"Miss..." Joseph the housekeeper called out softly when he saw Emma. Then he couldn't bear to look again, turned his head away, the eyes of the old man were slightly red, and he felt the same for his young lady's emotions at this time.
There was a little surprise on the old mage's face, and then guilt: "Miss... me!"
She had a lot to say, but felt that she had nothing to say. Regret, guilt. And heartache, the three emotions are like three poisonous snakes. Constantly tearing at the soft feelings in her heart, she stared at Emma affectionately for a while, then clutched her wound, and walked slowly towards the door.
When she came to Emma's side, she stopped and turned to look at Emma's face. After staring obsessively for a while, he slowly left.
Emma turned around and looked at the back of the old mage leaving, her body shaking slightly from time to time. The moonlight is still bright and cool, but it is no longer warm and moving.
The old housekeeper wanted to come forward to comfort him. Liang Lidong pressed his shoulders, shook his head at him, and then the three big men went upstairs, leaving Emma alone in the main hall.
The figure of the old mage disappeared completely, and the girl squatted down, burying her head deeply in the crook of her arms.
Alice is a half-elf, and has a keener intuition for other people's emotions. She left the castle far away, summoned a unicorn, rode it, and played around the castle.
At this time, no one wants to disturb the sad girl. Sometimes the comfort of others is more useful than letting the injured person hide in the angle and lick the wound.
Emma didn't know when she went back to bed to sleep, and when she woke up, it was already noon. Normally, the old mage would have come to wake her up long ago. She hoped that what happened last night was just a nightmare, but the reality after waking up told her mercilessly that it was just a fantasy.
She touched her eyes that were swollen like walnuts, and then used a healing technique. Under the effect of magic, although the redness and swelling of the eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, some red marks were still left after all. She got up, walked to the dressing table, and covered it up with light makeup.
Emma is naturally beautiful, and she is beautiful enough without any makeup at all. This is the third time she has painted her own eyebrows since she learned how to make up.
After the pretty face in the mirror was completely free of any blemishes, Emma put on her clothes and went downstairs, and found that there was only the butler in the main hall.
A sumptuous lunch was placed on the table, and the butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing that her expression was normal.
Emma sat down at the dining table, picked up the knife and fork, and asked casually, "Where are they all full?"
"Your Excellency Beta, they have already left." The steward's face was a little happy, and the annoying ghost left, which was an excellent thing for him: "They left a message, let the princess take a good rest for a while .”
Emma's knife was skewered with a piece of fat and tender meat. She was about to put this piece of delicacy into her mouth when she heard the words and suddenly raised her head: "What, are you leaving? When?"
Seeing Emma's expression, the housekeeper was shocked and secretly called out that something was wrong, but he could only bite the bullet and answer, "In the morning."
"Then did they leave any message for me?" Emma stood up suddenly, grabbed the butler's sleeve with one hand, and asked eagerly: "Or, did they tell you where to wait for me to pass?" ?”
The butler's body trembled, then he closed his eyes and shook his head with difficulty.
That's it! Emma murmured softly, and then sat back on the chair weakly. She held the knife and fork, and sat quietly. Her eyes did not move for a long time, and she kept looking at a certain meat dish in front of her. , as if like a puppet that lost its soul.
Emma sat quietly for a long time, keeping a posture motionless. Seeing the pain in her heart, the housekeeper couldn't help but said, "Miss, you can eat something."
Emma remained motionless.
Joseph couldn't help but shouted louder: "Miss!"
Emma trembled a bit, as if someone woke up from a dream. Her face was still so beautiful, but at this moment, it was covered by some invisible things, and she could no longer see clearly, or in other words, she had already It looks less bright.
"Oh, Joseph, what's the matter?" Emma smiled, but no matter how outsiders looked at her, they felt that she was just laughing miserably: "Oh, you said eating... I suddenly feel that I don't have much appetite. You take these things Let's all go away."
Joseph couldn't help but said: "Miss, but if you don't eat something, you won't be able to hold on."
"I'm a professional, not so delicate."
Emma was still smiling, she stood up, and continued: "Joseph, I'm suddenly sleepy, I'll go to sleep for a while, if there's nothing else, don't let people bother me."
After speaking, Emma went upstairs and went back to her room.
Joseph stood in the main hall, looking in the direction of the stairs, with a look of regret in his eyes.
Then he sighed, left the main hall, and asked his servants to buy some favorite food for the young lady. Then he waited in the main hall until late at night, but he didn't see Emma come out of the house.
When he was about to let the maid go in to see what happened, he saw a maid running down from above in a panic and shouting at the same time: "Housekeeper, it's not good, Miss is sick, her body is very hot."
Hearing this, Joseph's first reaction was 'impossible'!
Although the physique of the spellcaster is slightly weaker than that of the physics department, it is still much stronger than normal people. The most important thing is that Emma is a saint herself, and she is good at treating others. Even if there are some minor illnesses and pains, a spell can drive them away, so how can she be sick.
He was a little annoyed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
The maid hurriedly explained: "I didn't lie to you, miss, she has a fever all over her body, she can't wake up no matter what, and she looks very painful."
Now Joseph frowned. He hurried upstairs, pushed open the door, and saw Emma sleeping under the quilt, panting, with an abnormal blush on her face. He pressed his hand on Emma's head and felt it was hot.
This is really not normal. Joseph hurriedly shouted to the outside: "Send someone, go to the Temple of Storms and ask a priest to come back immediately, hurry up!"
Not long after, the manservant came with a middle-aged female pastor, she entered the room, and then drove everyone else out. Almost everyone in the castle was waiting in the main hall, which was as crowded as a vegetable market.
Everyone looked worried.
Not long after, the middle-aged female priest came out, and she said to Joseph: "It's okay, the saint's condition has stabilized for the time being."
"Miss, what happened to her?"
"There is nothing wrong with her body." The middle-aged female pastor pointed to her heart, and said in a tone of someone who has experienced it: "But she was injured here, which is very serious. She must have encountered something very uncomfortable recently, you You have to stay with her and enlighten her."
Joseph was silent, he didn't even know when the pastor left.
Under the effects of several healing and strengthening spells, Emma woke up in the middle of the night, and the maid in charge of taking care of her rushed out of the room immediately, shouting in the aisle, announcing the good news.
Joseph heaved a sigh of relief. He returned to his room, took out a piece of white letterhead, came to Emma's room, and then directly put the letter in Emma's hand: "This is what Lord Beta left for you. I put away the letter I wrote, Miss, punish me."
Emma ignored him, she hurriedly opened the letter, the original weak face gradually let go of a strange light, and soon, she smiled, like a white lily blooming:
"Joseph, I'm hungry, prepare me a midnight snack." (.)
