As if in a long, long dream, Tiffany dreamed of Knox, the man who was as warm as the summer breeze and the sun, and they went back to their old days in the Lyceum of Sainte-Galenne, taking classes together, going to the library together, eating strawberry ice cream together, and swinging together; Then I dreamed of Geroroel, who always waited for herself very gently, making delicious cakes for herself, brewing mellow and sweet black tea, making sweet strawberry juice for herself, combing her long blonde hair, tying a red bow for herself, and dressing herself in a gorgeous and elegant lace bubble dress; Then I dreamed of my maternal grandfather, King Bradrick, who would always gently and kindly caress his blonde hair, saying that dear Tiffany was about to grow up, and then went up to the balcony of the palace, pointed to the forest and the clock tower in the distance, and said that in the future, it will be Tiffany's world, so Tiffany must work hard, because she will become a queen in the future and manage this kingdom of Ireto, and her maternal grandmother, Queen Andrea, is watching herself with gentle and doting eyes; Inside the palace, the brave and handsome Knights Templar were seen, guarding the front of the palace, always with a blank face, forever defending the glory and safety of the palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I even dreamed of my parents, Prince Frey and Princess Frega, who could only be seen in a picture album, one with blue hair and blue eyes, one with blonde hair and red eyes, one as handsome as the stars in the night sky, and the other as gentle and elegant as the moonlight. But in the end, Aunt Freya, who had always been very gentle to her, appeared, she looked at herself coldly, different from the gentle and kind of before, she pointed at herself, scolded herself for being the one who robbed her of all hope, and then she swung a royal sword, stabbed herself in the heart, her heart ached violently, and the blood that flowed out stained her snow-white bubble dress, and then fell to the ground, and died slowly.

But she didn't die, but opened her tired eyes, and what appeared in front of her was a simple little room, an electric fan with mottled rust was sending a gentle cool breeze, relieving Tiffany's stuffy feelings, her fingers moved slightly, she was fine, and then looked around, she was lying on a warm and soft little wooden bed, covered with a light blue quilt, embroidered with a few elegant lilies, and the blinds were only slightly opened, revealing a soft morning light in, The room was very elegant, except for a desk and a cherry wood bookcase, on which were neatly arranged books, on the top of which was a small sky-blue lamp, a white mug, a bottle of white lilies raised with clean water, unpainted walls, a picture frame with a painting of the church and the lake, and a cherrywood wardrobe. It felt like it was supposed to be a boy's room, but why was Tiffany in a boy's room, wasn't she mourning with Svifa in the forest?

The door to the room was gently pushed open, and Tiffany looked at him alertly and said, "Who are you and why am I here?" ”

It was Clio who came in, and Clio hurriedly said: "You woke up, great, I thought you would never wake up, don't get me wrong, my friend and I just came back from fun last night, and I saw you fall at our intersection, your hands were bloody, and you had a high fever, and it was raining heavily last night, so I can't see death without help, so I will bring you back." ”

Tiffany couldn't remember anything from before, and suddenly she felt a splitting headache, not only in her heart, but also in the heat of a flame.

Clio walked over, he held a glass with potion in his hand, and said: "This is a unique herb in our town, borage, I just picked fresh flowers and plants, and then made it into tea, which can detoxify and reduce fever, because I am worried that your high fever will cause pneumonia, so you have to drink this flower tea." ”

Tiffany took Clio's borage tea, the clear hot water soaked in small blue flowers, it looked fresh and refreshing, but I don't know if it would be Aunt Freya's person again, can this herbal tea be drunk?

Seeing that Tiffany was hesitating and hesitating, Clio seemed to be able to see that the girl was worried about whether there was poison in the flower tea, and said softly: "You don't have to worry, we are not the kind of people you imagined, if you can't believe me, I can take a sip for you to see." ”

When Tiffany heard Cleo say this, she felt a little embarrassed to doubt him again, because she had wronged a good person.

Tiffany didn't hesitate any longer, but raised the glass, and then slowly drank the borage tea, after drinking, Tiffany felt less uncomfortable than before, as if the whole person was refreshed.

"By the way, what's your name, why did you come to our town, and why did you faint at our door." Clio asked.

Tiffany looked at the white bandage on her hand, looked at Clio, and whispered, "My name is Tiffany, I accidentally met a beast in the forest, and then I got separated from my sister, and then I don't know why, I fainted on the road." ”

Clio hears Tiffany's name, just like Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Kingdom. But the Tiffany in front of her is not as beautiful as the legendary princess, Her Royal Highness has long hair like gold threads and an elegant appearance as clear as emeralds, and the girl in front of her is not only ordinary long gray hair and brown eyes, but also has scars like vines on her cheeks, yellowish skin, and pale lips, which is really very different from the princess called Tiffany.

"You actually have the same name as our princess, where are you from, and where do you live at home." Clio asked eagerly, because if he knew where she lived, he could send her home, so that her parents would not be very worried.

"My sister and I are wandering around, we don't really have a home, I'm an orphan, my parents have died young, so I don't know where I live." Tiffany said sadly.

Cleo felt very sad when he heard this, but he didn't know how to really comfort Tiffany, looked at Tiffany and said, "You still have a high fever, so I'll go get you some mint tea and ice cubes later, but I still have to go out on errands, so you can rest here and wait for me to come back." ”

Tiffany felt very warm and said, "Thank you, what should I call you?" ”

"Clio Hopcock, you can call me Clio, I was supposed to go to school today, but I took a day off and will go tomorrow." Clio said with a smile.

"Cleo, thank you so much, I don't know how to thank you." Tiffany said with a sad look in her eyes.

It looks like Tiffany has just been through a catastrophe and lost contact with her sister, so she should want to be alone now.

"Then I'll go out and help you prepare the food first, because my mom is going to work today and is not at home, so I'm going to cook my own food, and I'll help Uncle Mario pick fruit later."

Clio said as he closed the door to his room.

When Tiffany saw Clio leave, her tears kept falling like raindrops in the sky. Now not only has Gerorol left her, but even Svifa's whereabouts are unknown, could it be that during her coma, Svifa encountered some danger, otherwise why would she suddenly disappear, although Svifa is not as smart and calm as Geroroel, but she has always been very loyal to herself, and will never leave her at this time, Svifa, I hope you can be safe and sound.

Now I guess I am not as good as an ordinary civilian, because since Aunt Freya is in the forest, she is going to kill herself, and now that she has escaped death, she will definitely not be able to escape her eyes, why, if she hadn't heard Shax say that she was an obstacle for Aunt Freya to become a queen, she would never have known for the rest of her life, they are obviously relatives whose blood is dissolved in water, is it really not as good as that throne compared to ruling the world, her niece who was raised as a daughter since she was a child?

No, Aunt Freya is obviously so gentle and amiable, and she takes care of herself, there must be someone who wants to misunderstand Aunt Freya, but the person who wants to kill herself keeps saying that Aunt Freya sent it, this kind of ironclad fact, why do you want to deny it?

As soon as Tiffany thought about it, she suddenly felt like she had a splitting headache, as if it was about to explode, and she almost fell asleep because of the headache.

But I can't sleep at all, how can I sleep with such a headache, no, I have to get up and walk around to get my body back to life.

Tiffany got off the small wooden bed and looked around, it was indeed very simple and elegant, even the walls were not painted, and there were traces of cracks, it should be a commoner's house, compared to her own heavenly palace, it looked very shabby here, but fortunately it was very clean, and the lilies were offered with water on the table, so even the air in the room was filled with a fresh fragrance.

But when Tiffany saw the mirror on the top of the wardrobe, she was suddenly stunned, who was the woman with long gray hair and brown eyes in the mirror, and there was a scar on her face like a tree vine, Tiffany slowly approached the mirror, and found that the woman in the mirror was getting clearer and clearer, Tiffany was stroking her face, and the woman in the mirror was also stroking her face, could it be herself?

Absolutely impossible, the woman in the mirror is so ugly that it is intolerable, especially the vine-like scar on her face, as well as her inconspicuous long gray hair, dull brown eyes, no matter how she looks like a witch, the long hair like gold silk in the past and the bright eyes like emeralds, and the stunning beauty with a smile like a flower, now she has become an ugly witch in the mirror, with a pale complexion and empty eyes.

Tiffany momentarily couldn't accept that she had become a woman as ugly as a witch, and she had a splitting headache again, and then fell down hard.

Clio and Shellil get into Uncle Mario's carriage and go to the fields to help pick fresh fruit to be sold at the market.

Shirley is the daughter of Uncle Mario and Aunt Lisa, and the eldest daughter in the family, 16 years old this year, because there are three younger brothers in the family, especially the younger brother who is only 3 years old, the economic conditions of the family are relatively tight, so Shirlier does not go to the intermediate magic academy like Clio, but after reading the free civilian school, she went to work early, not only usually worked in the flower shop, worked as a maid for the nobles' family, and helped pick fruits at home on vacation, some difficult to save and made into fruit wine, Therefore, it was picked, washed, and dried to make a mellow and delicious wine, which was then supplied to nearby wine merchants, and finally sold to the aristocracy.

Aunt Lisa's wish is that Shirliel can marry a wealthy merchant in the wealthy town of Iffira, so that she doesn't have to face the sky for the rest of her life, and even a beautiful dress can only be bought on New Year's Day, and as for the bright and gorgeous jewelry in the jewelry store, it is a luxury that can only be seen from a distance, and they ordinary people have no ability to wear it. You don't have to eat dry bread all day long, except that sometimes on festive days, you will buy some beef to stew, after all, there are so many children waiting to be fed at home, and it is very satisfying to eat bread and milk every day.

This is these civilians in the civilian area of Ifila Town, not only Shirley's family, but also other families, so Aina has been shrinking her clothes and dieting in order to support Cleo to go to school, and finally Cleo went to the best magic academy in Lucia City for free because of her excellent grades, which is a big news in the civilian area.

Sydney has a pair of cherry pink eyes, a beautiful sky blue scorpion braid, although not a stunning beauty, but also a delicate girl, the delicate melon seed face is full of sunshine and liveliness, wearing a light blue ruffle long-sleeved dress, with a white apron tied around the waist. This dress was given to her by Viscountess Locknan when she was working as a maid in Viscount Locknan's house, because it was a high-quality fabric, and it was also carefully handmade by the palace craftsmen, Shirlier had always regarded it as a treasure, so the cuffs were a little worn, and the buttons were also sewn a few times, and she still attached great importance to it, as the first girl in the civilian area of Iffira to be able to have a beautiful dress, it was quite a proud thing.

Although Shirley does not have gorgeous clothes, she has snow-white smooth skin and slender and beautiful calves, coupled with a sunny personality, she is quite a popular beauty in the civilian area. The boys who want to marry her can be said to be in a small line, but for Shirley, the gentle and kind Clio is the sunshine in her heart, shining brightly on her.

Uncle Mario drives the carriage to the orchard in the suburbs, and Clio and Shellyl sit in the back and talk.

"Cleo, did the girl you brought back last night wake up today?" Shirley asked.

"She woke up this morning, but she still seems to be very weak, and it is said that she and her sister met a wild beast in the forest, and then got separated, so she ended up on the street of our civilian area." Clio sighed, feeling sympathy for Tiffany's plight.

"It's really unfortunate, so what's next for her? Because you took a day off for her, and tomorrow you will go back to the academy, what should she do? Shirley asked.

"I haven't asked her about this yet, I came here today, and I plan to pick some fresh herbs and treat her, to see that she has a high fever and a lot of diseases, and our side is far away from the hospital in the city, so use some herbs first, and then take her to see a doctor." Clio said mildly.

Seeing that Clio was so kind and warm-hearted, Shellier felt that her vision was really good.

"Here, Shiryl, Cleo, you two come down and help." Uncle Mario said as he parked the carriage on the side of the road at the edge of the field.

Because it is now the harvest season of fruits, Clio looks around, the endless wheat field is like a golden ocean, the breeze blows, the wheat waves are rolling, the heavy full ears of wheat are like golden waves, a piece of gold makes people feel the joy of harvest, the air is surging with a refreshing fragrance of wheat, and the wheat field is not far from a sweet and fruity fruit forest, when the tender green branches and leaves have passed through the blooming summer, to the golden autumn, The fruit grove becomes a sweet fruit that hangs heavily from the branches and leaves, these luscious fruits not only symbolize the autumn harvest, but also give new hope to Shirley's poor family, and every time the harvest season comes, the family can not only eat delicious beef and pork rib soup, but also eat smooth and delicious cakes, and Uncle Mario can drink a refreshing wine.

Uncle Mario held the scythe in his hand, and then said to Shellyl and Cleo: "Shelly, Cleo, you two, go and help pick the fruit, I want to harvest the wheat, you should be careful when picking, don't fall off the tree, some of those fruits are perishable, be careful and put them away." ”

"Dad, we know, and we promise to sell your fruit to the market in good condition." Shirley smiled brightly and said to her father.

Uncle Mario looked at Shirley and Cleo with relief, some pale hair, swarthy faces from years of hard work, and rough calloused hands. However, in order to make the family happy and the children can grow up healthily, these are insignificant hardships. Although he couldn't let Shirley continue to go to school, he felt very guilty in his heart, but every time he saw Shirlier's bright smile, he felt that his daughter would be able to marry Clio in the future, which was also a very gratifying thing.

Clio took out the scissors, then carefully cut off the red gina fruit that grew between the branches and leaves, and then Sheryl put the gina fruit in the larger fruit basket. Then, following the same procedure, they picked the citrus, the golden yellow of which hung from the green leaves, giving off a sweet citrus aroma that was bright and dazzling in the sun. Shirley carefully placed the red raspberries with soft branches and leaves in the fruit basket, because raspberries are not easy to preserve and can easily spoil during transportation, so they need to be picked carefully.

Because these raspberries were ordered to be purchased by Earl Ambridge this time, it was necessary to meet the quantity required for procurement, otherwise double the liquidated damages would be compensated.

"Shirley, look at which nobleman you picked the raspberries so carefully, and this time they were sent to which nobleman." Clio asked, having finished picking the Gina fruit.

Shirley carefully stacked the raspberries as if they were a treasure, and then said, "Listen to my father, it was sent to Earl Ambridge of the royal capital, it is said that it is the youngest daughter of Earl Ambridge, Miss Rodea loves raspberry cake very much, so this time the fruit is required to be more, and there must be no decay." ”

Shirley said with a bright smile.

"It looks like these raspberries are very bright and tasty, not as many beetle diseases as in previous years, and the fruit is rotten." Clio said with a smile.

"Yes, Dad has come over to spray pesticides many times this year, so these beetles are not as rampant as before, otherwise they would definitely not reach the number required by Count Ambridge." Shirley said with a smile, because being able to send raspberries to Earl Ambridge meant a lot of income, so she was really happy to think about it.

Then they went on to pick cherries, corn, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, and lemons. At a glance, the fruit basket is full of colorful scenes, delicate and bright red gina fruits, cherries, tomatoes; Yellow lemons, citrus, corn, plump and earthy aromatic potatoes, carrots, green cabbage, lettuce, in addition to fruits, Mario usually grows some vegetables, in addition to his own consumption, you can also sell them to others, more income.

"I'm going to pick some herbs, Shirley, you wait for me." Cleo thought of picking some herbs for Tiffany.

"You're going to the mountains, but I'm not at ease, what if there's a beast, I'll go with you, otherwise, I'm not worried about you." Shirley said worriedly, Sakura's pink pupils flashing with a hint of worry.

Knowing that Shellier had always been more worried about herself, Cleo said, "Shelly, I know you're worried about me, but it's okay, I'll be back in a while." A gentle smile like a summer breeze appeared on his face.

"Then you can't go for too long, remember, there are gravel on the edge of those cliffs, you have to be careful." Shirley cautioned.

Clio took a small shovel and a cloth bag from the fruit basket and walked up the hill, and Shellyl looked at his back and shouted loudly, "Be careful, Clio!" ”

Clio came to the mountain, last night I heard Uncle Arnold, a doctor in the civilian area, say that in addition to a high fever, Tiffany seems to have some traces of poisoning, but I don't know what strange toxins caused it, in addition to being infected with pneumonia because of a high fever, it will also cause severe pain, cough, insomnia, and even seriously affect the skin and facial features, and there will be auditory hallucinations, delusions, wounds on the body, and the serious consequences are blindness and schizophrenia, loss of consciousness, and loss of previous memories, so it is difficult to treat, The current symptoms are high fever and headache, so it is best to take some fresh herbal decoction to relieve some pain, and the most important thing is to go to the hospital and receive certain surgical treatment to avoid serious consequences.

I heard that there are a lot of fresh herbs on the mountain of Ifera, and the people in those herb shops will come here to pick fresh flowers and plants, although I heard that there are a lot of poisonous snakes here, but there are really a lot of people who venture to pick here, especially the residents of civilian areas, they will not go to the hospital in the city to see a doctor when they are injured and sick, because it is very expensive, so they generally go up the mountain to pick herbs, go back and cook them into a decoction to take, and basically can suffer from many diseases.

The altitude of Mount Ifera is not high, at most it is just a small mountain, the road is not rough, but there is more gravel along the road, fortunately Clio walked all the way and did not encounter any poisonous snakes and beasts.

The mountain roads are full of lush giant trees, and the towering trees cover the sun, so it is unusually silent, Clio is not afraid, and now because it is early morning, the herbs should be relatively fresh.

I just walked a short time and found a green four-leaf clover, the fresh four-leaf clover is still stained with the crystal dew of the morning sun, I heard Uncle Arnold say that the four-leaf clover can clear away heat and detoxify, treat cough and pharyngitis. Just right for Tiffany's cough.

Clio picks a handful of four-leaf clover, and the fresh four-leaf clover aroma makes people feel refreshed and comfortable.

Last night Uncle Arnold said that at least mint, hyacinth, violets, lemon balm, lavender, jasmine are needed.

The next thing is to look for mint, listening to people in the civilian area, there are a lot of mint on the mountain of Ifila, and it is particularly effective to use, especially for treating colds and headaches, and you can also sleep peacefully.

Clio walked for a while and found a patch of mint not far away, green to welcome the early morning sun, the smell was cool, and he could smell the mint in the distance.

It's great to have discovered mint so quickly, and Clio thought to himself that he had discovered mint so quickly.

Approaching the mint, smelling the refreshing aroma, Clio picked up the shovel and began to dig up, there was almost a bag or so, it should be fine, but Clio didn't notice that there was a python with tawny spots, which was slowly approaching his back, Clio was immersed in digging mint, and the python was slowly approaching his feet, "Clio, be careful!" Shirley snorted, so that Clio immediately turned around, he was not frightened, but quickly left the mint field, and then pulled out a butterfly knife from his body, this is what he brought out today, because he was worried about poisonous snakes in the mountains, this butterfly knife is his father's relic, let him carry it with him, although it looks like a relatively small knife, but in fact, it is tough and sharp, it can cut a lot of hard vines and ropes, maybe it is not suitable for fighting people, but the self-defense is still good, and it is not easy to be found, Easy to carry.

Clio looked at the poisonous snake with the snake letter stretched out, and knew that he had to fight quickly, so he held his breath, waved the butterfly knife, and pierced the snake's sinuous and slender body, and the poisonous snake suddenly stiffened and did not react.

"Clio, are you okay, it's really scared me to death, I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, so I asked my dad to wait for me and come up to you, but I didn't expect to find you just now, and I saw a python appear behind you, fortunately, it's really no danger." Shirley trotted over and hugged Clio and said.

Seeing that Shirry's eyes were overflowing with crystal tears, Clio helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Sherry, don't worry, aren't I okay now?" Why are you crying, don't cry, but I still have some herbs that I haven't picked yet, otherwise, you can wait for me. ”

"Look at you, you're so desperate for a stranger, you should think about my feelings, let's hurry down the mountain now, although this poisonous snake is dead, but maybe it will attract its kindred, so let's go down the mountain, as for your herbs that haven't been picked yet, I know a boy from a herb shop, I'll just let him send it later." Shirley said these things in order not to get Cleo from getting hurt.

"In that case, let us go down the mountain, lest you always worry and fear for me." Clio said as he gently stroked Shirley's head.

The tone is very gentle, but it is not like the tenderness between lovers, but more like the doting between relatives.
