Chapter 80: Farewell
While the cousins Charlotte and Brent tried to reconcile with each other, on the other side, Nell also approached Vivien to try to explain and say goodbye.
"Well, I know who you're looking for!" Lolita looked like 'I've been waiting for you for a long time' as she opened the door, "but to be honest, I didn't expect you to do anything like that." ”
"It's not like that!" said Nell, waving his hand in a panic.
The thought of the hell he had created with his own hands during the day made him tremble and pale. He tried to explain, but soon, like a suspect who had confessed to a crime in court, bowed his head like a frosted eggplant.
"Come on, man. Lolita sneered, patted the other party on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Do you want me to comfort you with this expression?
Nell was stunned, nodded gratefully to Lolita, and walked into the room around the pouted young girl.
At first glance, he saw Vivien, who was slightly flustered. The latter was clutching a piece of parchment, his hands folded behind his back, his black eyes looking from side to side.
"Y-Are you alright? Vivien. But Nell was noticeably more flustered than Vivien, stammering, spitting out his thoughts like beans, "I know I did something during the day...... Cruel thing, I guess I'm going to let you down, right?"
Vivien breathed a sigh of relief, and her nervous emotions turned into calm and confidence. She folded the unfinished parchment letter into her parchment in front of Nell, who, as expected, had no intention of asking. Instead, he is like a little boy who is annoyed and wrong, waiting for the teacher's judgment.
"Nell. When Vivien spoke, she realized that the resentment in her heart had long since disappeared, replaced by the melancholy of parting, "I can't agree with what I saw today, I feel like you're creating hell." But I don't ...... No, I should say that I am not angry anymore. Because you're just an executor, it's not you who gives orders, right?"
Nell nodded silently, then shook her head again. He said, "It's all the same, because I'm Viscount Kenriva, a member of Leslie." ”
"Poof...... his honesty and sadness made Vivien cover her mouth and laugh, "that's like what you would say." ”
Nell scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to do. The reserved young man and woman fell silent again.
"I'll ...... tomorrow"
"I ...... yesterday"
Suddenly, both of them spoke and shut up at the same time.
"You speak first!" and then laughed in unison.
"Okay. Vivien blushed, and the little tacit understanding just now made the girl's heart like a deer, "I'm leaving here tomorrow." ”
"I know...... Nell was a little depressed, "can I write to you once in a while?"
"Of course!" Vivien lowered her head and said in a shy voice, "and it won't be long before I can be promoted to the Fifth Ring, and then I can still apply to the teacher for a study tour......"
"Don't!" Nell blurted out, waving his hand in Vivien's surprise to explain, "No! I didn't mean that! I mean, the world isn't very peaceful right now. Let's write a letter, and when we get Hocente out of our home once and for all, I'll go to Icewind Castle to find you......"
"What!?" Vivien's eyes widened, looking surprised and shy.
"I mean......" Nell was also flustered, he looked left and right, little finger scratching his cheek unconsciously, "I talked to Brother Brent yesterday, and he was going to mention it directly to Cousin Charlotte, but then I thought about it, it would be better for the two of us to go to Icewind Castle to mention it in person when the situation is stable......"
If there were steam boilers in this world, Vivien's face would be almost overheated.
The girl with long straight black hair covered her face and sat down on the bed unconsciously, looking like a broken doll or a coward who didn't want to face reality, burying her little head in the pillow.
“…… What are you talking about?"
There was a sullen sound from under the pillow.
Nell blushed in panic, also unsure of what to do. Behind him, he was pushed violently, and Lolita, who was smiling, overheard the conversation between the two the whole time, pushing Nell towards Vivien.
The latter propped up the edge of the bed and looked at the black-haired girl with a ruddy face and flustered pupils under him, and was stunned for a while.
"Bastard!" Lolita, the initiator, lifted Nell's collar and bared her teeth in anger, "What do you want to do to the gentle and lovely Vivien?
"But, yes, it's clear ......"
"What!?"
Well, Nell wisely stepped aside. Arguing with Lolita is probably the most unwise thing in the world.
Regardless, on the second day of separation, Charlotte frowned, and found that the relationship between Nell and Vivien seemed to have taken another step forward.
As he talked goodbye to Brent and Edie, the three boys and girls were equally reluctant to say goodbye. Especially Nell and Vivian, the two even held hands in public.
- Hey, hey, that's a bit too much! Your teacher and I haven't been in love yet!
"Okay, leave them alone, I'll give you an explanation of their affairs then. Brent patted a self-indignant Charlotte on the shoulder.
Charlotte rolled her eyes, and then she said, "I'm leaving, be careful." ”
"Don't worry, it's you, cherish it on your own way!" Chamberlain nodded goodbye.
"The way north has been captured by Hotson, and the best route now is to cross the sea from the west to Erosa by the kingdom of Sauron. "Of course, you can also enter the middle of the empire from the east, and from there you can go to the Cavill Grand Canyon, which was occupied by Erosa before I left. But to be honest, I don't recommend this route for safety reasons. ”
"But I still want to go east. Charlotte glanced at Brent, "I want to see this empire with my own eyes, and I want to confirm something." ”
Edie glanced at Brent knowingly.
"Thank you for your advice, though, Edie. Then I'll go first, and we'll see you in Erosa shortly after. Charlotte patted Edie on the shoulder, the mage was somewhat overwhelmed by what had happened these days.
"If it were you, there wouldn't be much of a difference between the two paths. Edie nodded, "Well, then I'll see you when I'm done with this side of things." ”
"Cherish!", "Goodbye!", "Take care of yourself!......
Voices like this came and went, and three youths and three teenagers said goodbye to each other in the autumn morning breeze.
When separated from each other, they had to admit. In a short period of time, something has changed more or less, but silently.
The three masters and apprentices, plus the young daughter Ai'er, continued to walk eastward. They will travel to the heart of the Empire, where war is also said to be raging.
But Charlotte didn't want to run away, he wanted to see the world with his own eyes, and he wanted to validate the little doubts and thoughts that rose in his heart.
If it's a lion, do you have to ignore the sheep?
