Chapter 31: Gaze

On December 11, 139 AH, Leah lost count of how many times the resident envoy had come to her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yesterday King Ert gave an ultimatum to his permanent envoys that they must return Leah to Lorton before the procession departs. In order to persuade Leah to return to Loton City, the resident envoys have done everything they can, and now they really have no choice but to show her the king's ultimatum with a sad face, hoping that she can pity them and hurry back to Loton City.

Leah knew that she had to leave this time, so she could only promise the permanent envoy, saying that she would leave Byron City by the 15th of this month at the latest, and she would definitely be able to return to Loton City before the departure of the family send-off party.

The people of the Byrons family are liars...... I don't want to stay here......

Leah sat by the window indignantly, with a gloomy face and a word.

On the day Alice came to Leah for a boat, she promised her that she would take her out the next day. Leah knew that Alice's purpose for approaching her was not pure, but she still wanted to hang out with Alice. As a result, Alice was spanked by Maier that night and was also punished with a three-day grounding, so she broke the contract.

Alice was beaten, very aggrieved, but also happy. Melken loses his temper with her, which shows that Mel still cares about her. The main reason for his tantrum is that he is worried about Alice's safety, not because she is acting on her own, which gives Alice a sense of being valued. During the grounding, Alice wondered if she should make more inconsequential mistakes in the future, so that Mel cared more about herself, so she forgot about her agreement with Leah, and didn't even send someone to inform her.

Yesterday Leah waited stupidly until sunset, and then found out that she had been released a pigeon. She was very angry, but she still held back the anger in her heart and did not lose her temper.

In fact, in Leah's opinion, this is the second time she has been tricked by the people of the Byron family. The so-called "first time played" refers to the fact that the children of the Byron family suddenly did not come to play in the open space outside the Yuebin Pavilion. Ever since the Byrons children started playing in the open space, sitting by the window and watching them play has become Leah's most important pastime every day.

Leah often fantasizes about what she looks like when she plays those games. However, she has no partners, and there are quite a few henchmen and subordinates, but none of them are Leah's partners, and Leah can't show her childish side in front of them. So she can only lie in bed when it is dark and fantasize, and play games with her fantasy partner in her fantasy.

When the children returned to school, Leah couldn't see them playing in the open space. She had tried to play with her fantasy companions as she had done before, but she had never played with anyone, and she could hardly find that exhilarating feeling without watching others play.

Leah felt as if she had been poisoned by a strange poison, and the days of not seeing her children had left her flustered and unable to concentrate on anything. After Alice's show, Leah feels that everything she has been through is a conspiracy by the Byrons family. The Byrons wanted to break her will in this way and make her a puppet of the Byrons family. Once Leah inherits the throne, the Kingdom of Alt will become a puppet of the Byrons family, and will even be united by the Byron Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Leah hated the Byron family, but she still didn't want to leave the Bluestone Palace. As soon as she thought of returning to Lorton City, a deep sense of loneliness rose in her heart.

There's nothing good here!

Leah thought indignantly.

As long as I get my hands on the Taeyong elf, I'll leave this hellish place right away!

She hadn't forgotten to ask Mel about the Taeyong elf, but her cheeks burned and her heart raced at the thought of making a fool of her in front of Myr, and she didn't dare to see him. Mel only came to Leah once, and he felt that Leah was too scheming to contact her again, so he never went to her again.

How dare a little king do this to me......

Leah was furious at the thought of being snubbed by Myer.

Abominable Mel? Byron ...... We'll see!

Until the day she left the Bluestone Palace, Leah didn't dare to see Maier again. During a walk, she happened to meet Maier who was about to leave the Bluestone Palace, and the moment she saw Maier from a distance, Leah panicked and hid with her personal maid.

On December 15th, Leah left the Bluestone Palace as agreed and set off for Lotton City. How she came to the Bluestone Palace, she left the Bluestone Palace. There was no one to greet her when she came, and no one to see her off when she left. The guards of the Bluestone Palace and the maids of the guards looked at her with wariness, and the people of Byron City looked at her with unfriendly eyes.

There were no Elts in the city of Byrons, only the resident envoys and their retinues who lived in a corner of the city, where their areas of activity were strictly restricted and closely monitored by the Supervisory Council. They must be accompanied by members of the Supervisory Committee when they travel, and the only place they can go is the Bluestone Palace, not even to visit the nearby houses.

But at the blind date meeting, there were several young girls with an Ayrtic accent. Many people have never heard of the Ayrtic accent and don't know that they are Ayrtics. The young girls made a fuss about the officials' office and were sent to the residence of the permanent envoy of the Kingdom of Elt.

There was no overlap between the local administration and foreign diplomats, and the local officials did not know that the foreign envoys were severely restricted in their activities, so they mistakenly believed that the girls had come from the embassy district. The central officials were astonished when they heard of this, and they informed the local magistrates of their country's measures against foreign envoys, and then the news spread in the city that the envoy had secretly sent men to disturb the peace of the city.

The fact that Leah came to Byron City was only known to the people of the Bluestone Palace, and it was not made public. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Byron City, Leah and the others are the people from the embassy of the Kingdom of Elt. Leah knew that the news of her visit to Byron City had not been made public, and she felt that there was no need to hide when she left, so she only took her personal maid and rode the embassy's horse down the road generously.

Leah and her valet are very active at the blind date, and many people know her. Some of the people in the land recognized her, and told them about her with those around them. Some remembered that Leah and her valet had been in the city for a lot of work, and decided that they were spies, so they gathered neighbors, acquaintances, and friends to surround Leah and them.

Leah, who was surrounded by locals, was very calm, and she showed everyone the temporary pass given to her by the Bluestone Palace, and asked them to go to the Bluestone Palace for verification. Among the people surrounding Leah and his party were many Ilibians, and they shouted loudly to the crowd, saying that His Majesty must have let Leah go out of diplomatic considerations, and asked everyone to make way for Leah and the others.

The road was out of the way, but more and more people gathered on the main road. The patrolmen noticed the movement on this side of the road and immediately went back to the police station for help, and notified the defense bureau so that the patrol force was ready to come forward to maintain order.

As it turned out, the patrolmen's worries were unfounded. The people of Byron City just stood quietly on both sides of the road, looking at Leah and the others with extremely unfriendly eyes. They didn't do anything drastic, they just expressed their hostility towards Leah and the others with their expressions and eyes.

When Leah and the others pass in front of them, the adults with the children will teach the children in a stern tone.

"You have to remember their faces, and the next time you see them, don't talk to them!"

"The next time you meet someone with an unfamiliar accent, be sure to contact the patrol officer!"

Because the local people were too orderly and the scene was too quiet, Leah's words about their education were clearly heard by Leah. These words were like sharp and tiny needles, piercing Leah's heart again and again.

Cold violence -- this kind of attack that is directly aimed at the spirit and only at the spirit -- can do great harm.

When Leah invites Mel to dinner, Myr's wives are using cold violence against Leah. Contempt, utter disregard, and the stark contrast between enthusiasm and coldness blended together like a cold cage from the sky, separating Leah from the rest of the scene. Leah in the cage is only lonely and lonely, while others outside the cage are enjoying the double nourishment of love and affection - but this is not the saddest thing.

Imagine if you were hungry for three days, didn't eat anything, and drank only water. At this time, someone ties you up, sticks your eyelids, and immobilizes your head, so that you can't close your eyes and can't turn your head. A man comes up to you with a fragrant roast chicken, puts it on the table, and makes you stare at it – don't you think it's cruel to do that?

Yes, it's cruel, but there's something more cruel than that. If this person enjoys this roast chicken in front of you and doesn't listen to you to praise you about how delicious it is, you will feel that the previous practice was too merciful.

Leah grew up in the midst of brutal aristocratic struggles, and she considers herself resilient to be unharmed. Before coming to Byron City, she really didn't hurt her heart. But this time, she was hurt, and she was badly injured.

The harm that the people of Byron City did to Leah was a different feeling.

Few people pay attention to the gaze because people spend most of their time looking at things when they are awake. Wherever you look, your gaze is back. It's normal to look at people or be looked at.

There are many kinds of eyes, there are looking eyes, there are gazes, there are eyes that are pleading, there are eyes that are happy, there are cold eyes, there are hostile eyes, and so on. People can know a lot of information through their eyes, such as the needs of the other person, the psychological state of the other person, and the emotions of the other person, and so on.

When a stranger looks at you with a hostile person, you make two judgments. Or think that the other party has misunderstood them in some things, or think that the other party wants to find fault. You may explain to the other person, or you may fight back with a hostile gaze, and if you are grumpy, you may just throw a punch.

What if two strangers look at you with hostile eyes? You might make the same judgment. So what if it's three people? What about four people? What about five people? What about ten? What about fifty people? What about a hundred?

If hundreds or thousands of people were looking at you with hostile eyes, would you think you had really done something to be sorry for them? You will definitely not think that the other party is finding fault, but will only blindly think that the other party has misunderstood you. Because if you don't, you're going to think you've done something sorry for them.

This is a natural way to think, because human beings are such animals that fear the collective. If you do something to be sorry for them, you will develop a sense of fear. Otherwise, you will feel aggrieved and lost.

Sometimes there is a difference between people's subjective perception and objective perception, you think that you have not done something to be sorry for others, but in the eyes of others, the truth is exactly the opposite. How do you feel when you encounter this situation and hundreds of people looking at you with hostile eyes?

This feeling should be indescribable. It is much more complex than the mixture of an overturned five-flavor bottle and is highly corrosive. Little by little, it will corrode your heart like a strong acid, causing it to lose its bright red coat and cover it with a sticky black smudge.

Some people may not understand why death row inmates parade through the streets before their executions. In fact, for death row prisoners, the process of parading through the streets is more painful than the process of execution. As they parade through the streets, they are confronted not only with hundreds of pairs of hostile eyes, but also with all sorts of swearing and foul-smelling saliva. These things will flood them and cause great damage to their psyche.

Of course, there are people in this world who will not be psychologically harmed by this. Their hearts are long dead, their bodies are just walking dead, and their rotten minds always emit a hurtful stench. Such people are often given a common name, and in some world, the scientific name of this title is "psychopath".

Leah is not a psychopath. In the face of the hostile gaze of the people of Byron City, Leah, who thinks that she has not done anything to be sorry for them, is seriously unbalanced. The breath coming from both sides of his body was extremely sharp, as if to say to Leah: Get out! You are not welcome here!

The people of Byron City regarded Leah and the others as dangerous elements, and the people of the Bluestone Palace were the same. Leah, who was ostracized by the entire city of Byrons, left the city in a trance.
