The door to Maria's bedroom was open, and Gabriel was already standing by the bed. If Amon remembers correctly, Gabriel should rest in the downstairs room closest to the door at night. Amon didn’t see Gabriel when he rushed up the stairs. This means that Maria just yelled and Amon hasn’t. Before he had time to get up from the stairs, Gabriel went upstairs. The speed was astonishing, almost like teleportation.
Gabriel's sword has been unsheathed, and the sword is covered with a faint silver halo, which is not bright but has a feeling of stinging eyes, but her expression is a bit weird, with surprise in the weird, the tip of the sword pointed A small furry animal before implantation.
"Amon, how did this cat get in?" Gabriel knew that Amon had arrived at the door without looking back, and asked in a deep voice.
Isn't this Schrödinger? Amon recognized the cat that was sleeping at Maria's feet. It was the cat raised by the old madman. It was lazy, greedy, fat and dirty, and its gray and white fur was always covered with ashes. , Even the white fur has become like gray fur, sleeping soundly all day long, the old lunatic even named this cat Schrödinger, how could it come to Maria's room
"No, I don't know how it got in." Amon replied honestly.
Gabriel just asked casually, and then realized that she didn't even notice that a cat had sneaked in, so it was useless to ask this little miner. At this time, Maria said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, I woke you up. I didn't know this cat was sleeping here. I almost stepped on it just now, and I was shocked... Lord Gabriel, don't hurt me. It, it's just sleeping."
Gabriel put away his sword: "Don't call me my lord, from now on, just call me Gabriel, according to your order, of course I will not hurt this cat... and don't say sorry, it won't hurt like this." Appropriate, it is my sacred duty to protect you... Amon, take this cat away and make sure it won't disturb Lady Maria's rest again."
With a promise, Amon lowered his head and walked forward to hug Schrödinger. This lazy cat can really sleep. After making such a big noise, it was still awake when it was picked up by Amon. When Amon lowered his head, he saw Maria's feet. She didn't wear shoes, her slender and fair ankles were exposed under her nightgown, her toenails were pink, she looked so cute.
Amon's heart was beating inexplicably, and then he tried his best to control his breathing to calm it down, and his heartbeat became even. This is one of the most profound skills of the miners in Duke Town. They must control their body reactions in a very calm state to ensure that every mining core can be successful. Amon's training was far stricter than that of others in the town, largely due to his years of bathing in the bone-piercing cold spring.
Even Gabriel couldn't see any flaws. The child was indeed a little flustered when he rushed upstairs, which is normal, but he calmed down immediately after seeing that Lady Maria was fine.
This is the case on the surface, but Amon's heart is quite uneasy. Maria was only wearing a nightgown. When he squatted down, he saw her feet. When he stood up, his head was still lowered, and his eyes just caught her pink breasts. The neckline of the nightdress is not too low, but from this angle, a small piece of skin on the chest can be seen under the neck.
What's more terrible is that the line of sight seems to be able to see something else through the nightdress and imagination. Maria's nightdress is neither thin nor thick. It is very soft and fits slightly loose. It is a very comfortable material. A girl of her age has already developed, and she can see the curve of the chest under the nightdress, which seems to be the most beautiful curve in the world, and there is a pair of slight protrusions at the top of the curve, are those her nipples
Amon felt that he was burning hot, not only his face, but also his body had a feeling of being scorched by something, as if he had just walked ashore from the biting cold spring. The scorching sensation made him feel ashamed, so he hurriedly hugged Schrödinger and took three steps back before turning around and walking out.
Walking out the door, Amon opened his mouth and took a deep breath, his face flushed completely red, even his earlobes were red. When Gabriel rushed into Maria's room, he lit a candle as quickly as possible, but the light was not bright, and the stairs became even darker, and no one could see Amon's expression clearly.
When he went downstairs, Amon was taken aback, and even took a breath. He saw six armored warriors standing in the hall downstairs. The first two were holding shields and battle axes, and the two behind were holding shields and throwing spears. There were two other people holding long swords beside them, standing there silently, but there was a fierce momentum rushing towards them. Schrödinger seemed to feel it, and he meowed dissatisfiedly in Amon's arms, his head arched, and his body shrank into a ball.
"What happened?" The six warriors in the hall didn't speak, another warrior standing at the entrance of the hall with a long sword hanging from his waist looked like a small captain, and asked Amon.
"It's nothing, it's just a cat. Lady Maria almost stepped on it, and told us not to harm this animal, and take it away." Amon passed between the six soldiers while answering, holding the cat and walking towards outside the yard.
He was surprised again when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard. There were still two heavily armed soldiers standing in front of the gate, one on the left and one on the right. Looking at the four corners of the courtyard, there was a soldier holding a weapon on full alert. Amon knew that these soldiers were the personal guards brought to the town by Lord Dick, and they were also the ones who escorted Fayol to his house to take the tears of the gods that day.
Lord Dick's personal guards are usually stationed in the Temple of Horus near the courtyard. They either heard the movement or received a message from Gabriel in a special way, so they came so quickly and silently The guards and battle formations were set up, but they couldn't go upstairs to Maria's room without Lord Gabriel's instructions.
Amon thought to himself, if he came so quickly, could he do it himself? The answer is yes! But what about wearing armor and holding a weapon? Amon had no experience, so he thought it could be done if he carried a sledgehammer. He was just a little puzzled. The courtyard seemed quiet and unguarded, but in fact it was so heavily guarded. How did Schrödinger sneak into Maria's room
Among other things, with a warrior like Gabriel around, it was almost impossible for a cat to slip in and fall asleep next to Maria's bed!
It was just doubts, Amon didn't think too much, went outside the courtyard and put the cat on the ground, slapped it heavily on the buttocks, and whispered: "Schrödinger, go home, it's a bit dangerous here, don't come here again Already!"
Schrödinger woke up, yelled in dissatisfaction, stretched his limbs, shook his hair, and ran away, looking in the direction of the old lunatic's house, Amon breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the hall, Gabriel had already gone downstairs, ordered all the soldiers to disperse, but stood there and asked Amon: "Your skills are very good, and your reaction is very quick, no less than a low-level fighter. Have you studied gymnastics?"
Amon asked with some surprise: "Sir, are you asking me? I don't know what gymnastics is, but I have learned the miner's skills passed down from generation to generation in Duke Town. You should already know what happened."
Gabriel didn't ask any more questions, and went back to his room, and everything returned to calm. But it was difficult for Amon to calm down in his heart. As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see Maria's feet, and then his eyes moved up as his body stood up, and stayed on her chest, how pink and white The skin may be frightened or stimulated by the night air, and the soft fine hair is also slightly erected... and the seductive curve under the nightdress, the two raised points on the curve...
Thinking about it, his body couldn't help but respond. Amon was still a child, but he was not too young, and this reaction made him very uneasy and even irritable. He was imagining what the lovely breasts under the pajamas would look like, and what would it be like if he put his hand in through the neckline? Then he shivered suddenly, feeling an undeserved offense at his thought.
He inexplicably wanted to take a bath in the cold spring in the Black Fire Forest, thinking to himself that the reason why he was so cranky was that he often bathed in the strange cold spring, right? Every time I walk up from the cold spring and sit on the shore to rest, my body will have this reaction when it is warm, and I almost want to groan, but my mood is not as chaotic as it is now.
But Amon couldn't go tonight, he had to sleep on the wooden board under the stairs, of course he didn't sleep well that night.
At lunch the next day, Amon stood by, still feeling a little flustered, but cautiously restrained his voice so as not to show any abnormality. What made it uncomfortable was that Maria was still staring at him, and he could feel her gaze. At this moment, he heard Maria whisper: "You didn't hurt that cat yesterday, did you?"
Amon: "No, no, according to your command, I let it go."
Maria: "Thank you, Amon, for what happened yesterday."
Amon quickly replied: "My lord, you don't have to say thank you. As your servant, this is what you should do. It is my fault that your rest was disturbed." He looked at Ya's eyes, maybe it was courageous or angry with himself, he saw her like that yesterday, why didn't he dare to look her in the eyes today
Maria was obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect that the boy would raise his eyes to meet her. This made her a little unaccustomed. She instinctively wanted to dodge but then remembered Gabriel's confession, so she still looked at him, but couldn't hide it. A little cramped.
"How can there be such a lazy cat that doesn't wake up like that?"
"It's called Schrödinger. It's really lazy. It's the cat raised by the old lunatic in the town."
"That cat has a name? Who is the old madman?"
"He's the oldest man in town and my friend..."
The two kept looking into each other's eyes when they were talking, as if they were challenging each other, neither of them seemed willing to dodge first, and they were more or less childish. She is beautiful, I like to look at her like this - Amon thought in his heart.
In the end, Maria looked away first, but she didn't seem to be dodging, because she lowered her head to eat again, and stopped asking Amon any questions. She didn't eat much today, much less than yesterday. When Amon looked at her, he could see a trace of uneasiness deep in her eyes. She seemed unwell, enduring some kind of pain, but tried her best to keep calm.
Amon wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he couldn't ask her. He could only answer Maria's questions, but he couldn't ask her.
