"Eve, good afternoon." Eve stood up and greeted Jona, who had come in from outside.

"Good afternoon, Jona."

"What are you doing?" Jona walked over to Eve, the quill and parchment on her desk.

"I'm writing to my parents." Eve picked up the parchment she had already written and gave it to Jona, and after a moment of confusion, she decided to say it, "I want to ...... I've been in Otto for too long, and I still want to ...... I can go home early. I'm just going to trouble you guys to find someone to deliver a letter to Gari. ”

Eve's words made Jona, who didn't know how to speak, relaxed, "It's okay, dear, it's all a small matter. Actually, you don't have to ask your parents to deliver the letter, an old friend of Winnie has a caravan that has just happened to be on their way to the royal capital of Gari, and you can follow them. ”

"Winnie's friend?"

"yes." Jona looked at Eve a little nervous, "But don't worry, they're not all dark magicians. Even if there are a few, the heart is not bad, and it can protect you along the way. ”

"Just by looking at Winnie so good, you know she doesn't make any bad friends."

"Not only that, but they will also ride Kubis horses, and in less than four days they will reach the capital of the King of Gari."

Little by little, Joanna threw out the reason, so that Eve couldn't think of words to refuse.

"Can I wait for Alan to come back and ask him before deciding?" Eve said.

"I'm afraid not." Jona said, "Alan is now in the Otto King Capital to deal with family affairs, and it may take ten days or even half a month to come back. The caravan is leaving tonight, and if you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait for the next wave of caravans to go back later. I guess you don't want your family to spend so much time worrying about you, right? ”

"Well, well." Eve snorted.

Jona happily said to Emily behind her, "Dear Emily, help Eve get some clothes for the kind of ...... Also, ask Fern to make more food to take with you on the road. Move quickly, and you can't tell when Dick will come. ”

Jona...... Is that Miss Winnie a friend of Alan? Eve still couldn't contain her curiosity and a little luck.

Jona instructed Emily to tidy up her things, and when she heard Eve's words, she turned to look at her.

"In fact, Winnie and Alan have been Otto's highly regarded and highly talented little magicians since childhood. So they were sent together to study magic with Master Charles Morse, Otto's greatest magician in the past, and he was a playmate and classmate since childhood. "Joanna knows that Eve likes Ellen, but if she doesn't want to leave because she likes Ellen, that's something they don't want to see," Winnie is a very good and outstanding sorceress, and there is no second one in the whole of Otto. The last time I corresponded with my father, he said that Alan's mother was in talks with Winnie's parents to get the two of them engaged before the end of the year. ”

Eve looked at her, silent, not even blinking.

Although I'm a little sorry for Eve, after all, I encouraged Eve to pursue Eren in the first place, and Jona felt guilty and had to say, "I'm so sorry Eve, I know you're going to be upset." But...... This matter was decided by the elders of the two families, and although Alan knew nothing about feelings, he obviously did not object to the signing of the marriage contract. So ......"

"It's okay." Winnie and Ellen are going to get engaged, and as someone who has "liked" Allen, she is very unfit to stay in Allen's castle anymore, and Jona just tactfully tells her that she can go. Eve suppressed the sourness in her heart and smiled slightly, "I thank you for taking care of me these days, if it weren't for you, I might have died on the side of the road by now...... I understand what you're saying, and I'm leaving with Winnie's friends tonight, and I'm not going to trouble you. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, Eve." Because it was done behind Ellen's back, Jona was also worried that Alan would anger him, after all, in her opinion, Alan still liked Eve, "Actually...... It's not entirely impossible for you, and maybe, perhaps, there will be a turnaround in the future. ”

"No need." Eve shook her head and looked at Jona seriously, "I don't want to get involved in other people's marital feelings, I didn't know before that hindered them, and I won't do anything wrong in the future." ”

"Okay." Emily had already packed her things, and Jona said, "Can you leave me the address of your house?" Last time you wrote it, I forgot where I put it. Maybe I'll be able to see you later when I go to Gari. ”

"I want your address too, Jona. Thank you for taking care of me for so long. Eve and Jona hug, and she finally had to say a final goodbye to the familiar surroundings.

……

And Allen in Otto's palace is receiving indiscriminate bombardment from all directions from the king, the House of Elders, and the ministers.

It didn't stop until dinner time.

And those who just left, his mother, Otto the beautiful Queen Elisa...... Sitting beside him with a very charming smile.

"Alan, mommy's little darling." Alan was so frightened by Elisa's words that his hands shook, and the tea was all spilled on the table.

"I'm twenty-five years old, and I can't hold a cup steadily." Alyssa looked at her youngest son dotingly and lifted the cup up for him, "It's really naughty and heart-wrenching." ”

"......" Alan couldn't eat.

"Fern has asked to return to his family and continue to serve in the palace, and I have agreed." Alyssa added some sugar cubes to her coffee, and Alan didn't deny it, "I want to ...... You are so unreassuring, you have to have someone reliable to take care of you. Do you have the right person, my dear? ”

Alan coughed, "No." ”

"If you don't have one, Mom will arrange it for you." Alyssa is in her forties and still very well maintained, she smiled meaningfully, "Are you sure you don't choose your favorite one and take care of your daily life?" You can take care of the [beep]. ”

Alan had just calmed down, and he was not calm at this moment, "Mother." He guessed as soon as he thought about it, "Did Jona say something to you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I wrote to Jona a long time ago, and Joanna told me that you have a beautiful blonde girl with you. Jona also said that the girl's name was Eve, and that she was the prettiest girl she had ever seen. Alyssa obviously held back and wanted to ask for a long time, "I said that my heart is itching, it can make our family's Alan stone's heart move, and learn what the girl in the golden house looks like, and whether she has a good temper." Fern said that she was now hidden by you in a castle on the outskirts of the city...... I want to ...... too"

"No, you can't." Alan refused without blinking.

"Why?" Alyssa was dissatisfied.

"There's no why." Alan just wanted to hide her, where no one could find her, and it was enough to see him every day.

"I've heard people say that after a son marries a wife, he forgets his mother, but I didn't believe it." Alyssa took out a handkerchief and silently wiped the tears that were not contained in the corners of her eyes, "My little Allen, it makes my mother sad so much. ”

"Nope."

"Mom just wants to take a look, just a look."

“……”

"It's okay to look at it from a distance."

“……”

Alyssa, who failed to grind and soak, had no choice but to say, "Then where is her home, you can always sue me, right?" Alan thought for a moment and could only utter two words, "Gary." ”

"Have you met her parents?" Alan shook her head, and Alyssa found an opportunity, "You took their daughter away without saying a word to your parents, what does this make Eve think?" She will feel that you don't value her or even like her. ”

Alan didn't answer, and Alyssa continued to try, "If she thinks you don't like her and don't value her, she'll want to leave you." Women are like that. ”

This is something that Eren does not want to see, so he can only compromise on this, "I will let Desi go to Gary to inform her parents." ”

"......," Alyssa was a little tormented by her son, "you should invite her parents over and let us meet, and maybe discuss your marriage later." ”

"Marriage?" Alan put down the cup and thought to himself, "I have no plans to get married. ”

Alyssa said so much in order to solve the marriage problem that Alan has been reluctant to consider since she became an adult. He doesn't look at it, people as old as him, children will go to the street to buy soy sauce.

But no one has been able to follow him to church.

As long as there is a woman, as long as Alan likes it, let alone what she does, she can give the status of a nobleman to the other party as a slave.

"Alan, tell Sù Mom, don't you like Eve?"

"......" How does he know...... What is like.

"That is, would you like to see her every day and be with her?" Alyssa asked patiently.

Alan admits that he enjoys being with Eve now, and that it is best to take her with him for everything, and the best thing is to be able to do things in his arms, so he nodded.

Alyssa took a small step, "Would you be sad if she left?" ”

At the very least, it will be uncomfortable.

Alyssa felt that she was closer to being a grandmother, "Do you have any thoughts about her dragging it out to ** and then **?" ”

Alan remembered last night's dream and nodded sheepishly.

"That's like her!" Alyssa was overwhelmed with emotion, "My little Ellen has finally learned to like people. You have to hurry up and don't let her run. Otherwise, where would she go to find another daughter-in-law, she would never be able to let her son live with Desi for the rest of her life.

"No, there are ten defenses outside the castle, not to mention that with her ability, she can't open the gate of the castle at all." Alan hadn't figured out what the feelings were liked, but at least he was sure that Eve couldn't run away from it, "She couldn't get out." ”

"......" Alyssa couldn't believe it was her own, "Alan, this can't be done. If you are too fierce, Eve will be afraid of you, and she will not like you, and she will want to leave you and be with someone else. ”

Alan frowned, "She can't leave." ”

"Yes, yes, she can't beat you." Alyssa hated his conceit, "However, the best way you don't want her to leave you is not to be oppressed by force, maybe the more you oppress, the more she wants to leave, if she blindly wants to leave you, will you be happy?" You must be unhappy, so the most effective way is the sweet bondage of marriage. ”
