Chapter 280: The Fall of the Holy Land (2)
Both Fertenay and Lucy looked not far away, and there was no carriage following them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Yes, he calls himself Corifol. The servant said.
Fitney and Lucy looked at each other.
Lucy knew Corifol, of course, but she didn't know him well - Lucy had no friends, except for Fitney, her brother, and her grandmother, and even her mother, Shirley, who was a friend of Misse's and had a good relationship, but that had nothing to do with her.
"What is he here for?" Lucy frowned.
"Why don't you take a look. "Fitney seems to have the same dislike for people as Lucy, but he is much gentler than she is.
"Okay. Lucy respects Fitney's decision.
When Corifol came, he looked dusty—he was wearing a camel-colored trench coat, and his shaggy gray hair made it seem that his appearance was not very appealing.
"Excuse me, Your Highness Lucy, Miss Aven. Crisford walked up to the two ladies and saluted them.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" asked Lucy.
"That's right—Your Majesty has asked me to investigate something around here these days, and I happened to see your carriage, so I came to disturb you. Coriford said, smiling gently, "Because this side is part of the investigation - I want to ask if I can take a look around the neighborhood, and if not, I can change places." ”
Lucy knew that the Hilton Investigation Agency would be responsible for a lot of things, sometimes like a detective, and Lucy didn't know about these things, and she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to think of her brother's recent anxiety.
But it's not his own style to let Coriford stay.
"Mr. Coriford. At this point, Fitney spoke—and Corifo immediately shifted his gaze to her face, "I went to see you the other day, and it seems that the Hilton Investigation Agency has been busy. ”
"Is that so—oh, I don't doubt what you mean, it's just that my colleague didn't tell me about it. Corifo was a little surprised, but there seemed to be something else on his face, "I'm sorry, I only found out about this now, and I hope to help you now in time - what do you have to do with me?"
Corifo seemed to be a little more enthusiastic than before.
"It's useless to ask now. Fitnair shook his head, "I'd like to ask about Polina Avril, but she died a few days ago, and I heard she committed suicide in her apartment. ”
"That's true," a strange look of emotion appeared on Coriford's face, fleeting, "I'm sorry. ”
"It's a pity, indeed, like some pretty flowers, fleeting. Fitney sighed.
Corifo laughed silently, not knowing whether he should go along with Fitney or tell her that Polina was not worthy of sympathy at all.
"There is nothing to sympathize with - she has violated the rules of the nobility. Lucy frowned.
"The rules of the nobility?" a smile tugged at the corners of Fitney's mouth, "I thought you rejected that because you rejected them. ”
Fitnair didn't say anything about the awakening ritual directly, which made Lucy breathe a sigh of relief.
She always didn't want these things to be known by other people.
"Of course, the rules of the nobility must be followed. Lucy exclaimed, "Well, wherever you go, Mr. Coriford, but don't disturb me and Aven riding. ”
"Of course, miss. A smile flashed across Corifor's face.
Lucy pulled Fitnair forward, she was familiar with this place, because she didn't like to stay in the palace when she was a child, and often pulled Misse here to ride horses.
Lucy will actually have a lot of things, but not many people have the opportunity to see them.
"Don't you like being in the palace?" said Fitnair, who was holding her arm, and heard Lucy's grumbling.
"To be precise, I don't like my parents and Daisy. Lucy was almost blunt about Fitney, "My father was a coward, and my mother was mentally troubled. ”
These things Fitney knows something.
What she didn't understand was that Lucy didn't like Daisy: "Her Royal Highness Daisy is your sister, right?"
"Yes," Lucy seemed to know why Fitnair had such an inquiry, "she is also a coward, but a man of vanity, and always likes to steal what I like, which is why I hated her when I was a child—and besides, she is an illegitimate daughter." ”
These things belong to the secrets of the family, and most nobles do not know about them.
"My father was furious when he found out what had happened to my mother, and Daisy was born because of it, and my grandmother told me that they killed her and pretended to be my own sister - it's disgusting, they wouldn't even be responsible for their own affairs, and they want me to be a little kid and pretend not to know about these things?" Lucy frowned.
Fitney still didn't speak, and it might have been too eager to talk too much at these times.
"You don't have to worry about anything—I know you won't talk nonsense, at least, Daisy doesn't care—she's thinking about how to marry the de facto ruler of the Duchy of Ansendire. Lucy disagreed, "That's why I always emphasize the rules of these nobles, and only then can I curb their strange ideas a little." ”
Lucy's approach, or rather something that can only stay at the stage of thought, is already quite surprising to Fitney - her maverick is because of her origins, and there are always exceptions in the environment.
It's a pity that she's a princess.
Who knows what will happen next?
Fettnay and Lucy were supposed to ride horses, but they had already gone to the horse farm because of the chat.
Riding a horse is not the end - Lucy's purpose is to distract the mind, and if that can be achieved, there really is nothing wrong with that.
The two of them stood side by side, and the empty environment made them breathe a sigh of relief.
But Lucy wanted to go into the forest.
"I've heard that you're often active in the forest. Lucy felt a little emotional.
Fitnair didn't say anything—there was a small grove not far from the lawn, and such a grove would not produce any rare potion plants, but only a place to relax.
Entering the forest is another taste.
The fresh air blends into the forest, and the scents are mixed together by the rain – much better than perfume in Phytney's opinion.
"Let's go over there. Lucy pointed to a clearing in the distance—surrounded by trees.
They asked the servants to wait outside, where they seemed to be out of sight.
But it's one thing for Lucy to listen to Fitney's advice, and it's another thing for her to appear suddenly at times, similar to wayward attachment, which can't be changed by Phytenay at this time.
