Chapter 1: Leaving Liber
"So you've decided?" A week after the Queen's birthday, the royal capital of Grantell Airship Flat, where Lane, Lixia, Anirath, and Estelle gather together, and they will also embark on a new journey.
"Well, I decided." It is said that pain makes people grow, and Estill, who returned to Lotrente, is really much more mature, and there is more perseverance and perseverance in his sunny eyes, "After this incident, I found that I am too far from a mature guerrilla, whether it is martial arts or the ability to deal with things, I am too far behind you, Lixia, and Joshua." I don't want to be a drag on you all the time, I want to be a companion who can support you. ”
"I'm two years older than you Lien, and you've already comprehended the rudiments of the mystery, and I've only been getting the middle pass for a short time." Yaniras cupped her chin with one hand, "I really don't want to be thrown away too much by you." ”
"Well, I wish you all the best in the Leman Autonomous Region." Lane is not pretentious, he does not have enough strength, and he is not qualified to stand opposite the executors.
"Don't force it." Lixia handed the two tote bags to Yaniras and Estelle, "This is my family's ancestral ointment, and I have a detailed usage on the bottle. The black bottle is specifically for trauma, and the white bottle is put down during bathing, which is helpful for sleep and recovery from fatigue. ”
"Thank you, Lixia." Estelle took the bag, smiling like the sun once more.
"I'll cherish it." Yaniras leaned into Lixia's ear and whispered, "I must take him down when I go home with Rien this time, otherwise I will definitely launch an offensive when I come back from training." ”
"I don't know if his parents will like me." Lixia actually has concerns. Li En can accept his past, it doesn't mean that his family can accept it, in the eyes of ordinary people, his hands are bloody, he is not worthy of his side. That's why at the ball, I pushed Yaniras.
"Let's go, Yanirath, the regular boat is leaving." Estelle waved at Rien and Lixia, picked up her luggage, and stepped up the stairs to the scheduled ship.
Yaniras pressed her hands on Lixia's shoulders and said something that made her face flush, and she ran onto the airship without even saying hello.
"What's wrong, Lixia, your face is red?" Lane didn't hear the two girls whispering, and she didn't know what was going on.
"No, no, nothing." The flush on Lixia's cheeks became more and more obvious, and the explanation was a cover-up, suspicious, really suspicious.
"Xiaodi has grown taller again, come to Bibi, see where Brother Li En is." In Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, at Makein's house, Xiao Di leaned on Lane's thigh, and the two were taller.
"Hey, why is it still only up to the stomach?" Xiao Di compared with his hand, looked up at Li En, and his eyes lit up, "I know, Brother Li En has also grown taller, right?" ”
"Xiao Di is so smart, as a reward, Brother Li En will teach you a new song, okay?" As he spoke, he took out the lute from the salute, and with a round of his fingers, the sound of the piano cleared.
"Okay." Xiao Di replied sweetly, quickly ran into the room and took out his piano, and sat obediently on the small chair, his little face full of antiquation.
"What I'm going to learn today is a minor tune that is widely spread in the Empire, called "Where the Stars Is", and I'll sing it first." After trying the audition, Lee's eyes were slightly sad, this song is a portrayal of Esther and Joshua, "The swaying starlight, the fireflies are shining, the moonlight that can't be carried, the wound that can't sing"
Xiaodi's eyes are focused, his fingers are gently beating on the piano surface, one big and one small, and the sun shines outside the window, and the picture is beautiful.
"Lady Aya, has the relationship between Lane and Dropip always been so good? They were the same last time they came. Lixia looked at this picture, as if she had been healed, and her mind was at peace.
"Maybe it's really fate, Li En spoiled her very much when he saw Xiaodi for the first time." Saya walked out of the kitchen with the freshly brewed tea, virtuous and gentle, which made Lixia envious, "Xiaodi, he is also very sticky to him, seeing her Li En's brother is happier than anything else, Li En teaches her what she learns the fastest." ”
"It really feels like brother and sister." Lixia took a sip of tea, her lips and teeth were fragrant, she was born in an oriental family, and she had a lot of experience in tea tasting, "Madame's level of tea making can be comparable to Mr. Arios's kendo." ”
"Don't be so polite." Saaya's mouth was smiling, and her gaze wandered between Rien and Lixia, "Rie calls me sister-in-law, and you can call her sister-in-law." If I'm not mistaken, Rien is going to take you home to meet your parents. ”
"Hmm." Lixia lowered her head and hummed softly, her pretty face was slightly red, and the closer she got to Yumir, the more worried she became, "Sister-in-law, have you seen Rien's parents?" ”
"Our two families have always wanted to get together, but they can't make it for various reasons." Speaking of this, Saya was a little distressed, "Usually Xiaodi can't leave class and can't leave, and during the holidays, either Baron Te'o is involved in the affairs of the territory, or Arios is named to do a mission, which is also a good thing." ”
"Yes." Lixia sighed softly, and wanted to ask Lady Saya how she was going to get along with Rien's parents.
"Sister-in-law at you, being a sister-in-law can't disappoint you, right." Saaya's expression was urgent, and she stretched out a finger and shook it, Arios must have been bullied a lot, "Although I haven't met Lane's parents, there are still correspondence between the two families, and they have been friends for a long time." ”
"Well, sister-in-law bullies." Seeing the smile on Saaya's face, Lixia didn't follow, and the little daughter's attitude was fully revealed.
"Okay, I won't tease you, my sister-in-law will tell you about the situation of Shu Huaze's family." Saya took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and told her what she knew, "There are four people in Shu Huaze's family."
"What do you say, such a fate." On the other side, Li En has already sung "Where the Stars Is" twice with Xiaodi, and both of them are in good shape, but they are thirsty and run to find water to drink.
"Secrets between women." Saaya put her hand to her lips and motioned for Lane not to ask more, and she wouldn't say anything if she asked.
"If you don't say it, forget it." Dawn gave them a blank look and turned to find his teacup.
"Brother Lien, drink tea." As soon as he raised his hand, Xiao Di handed over the teacup, which was very intimate.
"Little Drop is so good." Dawn touched the little drop's head, and it was a burst of cow drink.
"Lien, how many times have I told you, tea is to be tasted, and you are simply spoiling good tea by drinking it like this." Saya watched Li En Niu chew peonies, and felt distressed, "Next time it's like this, you can drink boiled water." ”
"Xiaodi, Brother Li is going to run out of tea." Li En crouched in front of Xiao Di, trying to squeeze out a pitiful expression, but it didn't look like anything.
"Hmph, Xiaodi won't help you this time." Xiao Di turned around, although she was young, she was very sensible, thanks to his parents, master, and uncle, everyone was very attentive to their education, "Whoever made Brother Li En not drink tea well, it's not that he can't." ”
"Woo woo, Brother Rien is sad." Lai simply rolled on the ground. When he was playing with Droplet, he was always like this, making Droplet laugh, and Lixia and Saaya on the side couldn't help but laugh.
"By the way, sister-in-law, I have already written the sixth volume, how are the preparations for the release of "The Emperor and the Holy Maiden"." After playing with Xiaodi for a while, Li En remembered something serious.
"I only think about it now, and you really are." Saya counted a few sentences, she was so indifferent to her work, she had never seen it, "It's almost ready, but the means of publicity have changed." The volume of "The Great and the Holy Maiden" is better than any of the previous volumes, but the first chapter, 'The Death of Roland', does not quite fit the atmosphere of the whole volume, so I suggest that the publisher take it out for a special issue, half sold and half sent. ”
"It's okay, Roland is a figure I admire, take a part of my income and help him make a poster alone to give away with the special issue, which is a part of my heart." Li En clasped his hands to his chest, "Now that too many people in the empire have forgotten about him and what a real knight is, I will remind them of it!" ”
"Okay." There were no surprises on Saaya. She didn't really know what a knight was, but through the exchange of letters, she could feel that Theo Schwarzer was worthy of the word knight, and Lane was not only justifying Roland's name, but also paying tribute to his father.
What is Knight? Reputation, propriety, humility, perseverance, loyalty, pride, piety? No, none of these are any.
In Lee's view, a knight can be nameless, vulgar, despicable, or lewd, but when something you value is threatened, you have to stand up, even if it is your own life, this is a knight.
It's like Roland fought to the death in order to protect Delaikels's back, and died of exhaustion!
