Megan bounced up from the chair with a look of ecstasy: "Understood, I'll go now!"

Arno reached out and pressed Megan's shoulder, making him sit back in his chair: "Although this matter is urgent, it is not urgent enough that you need to leave immediately, now it is only a time or two away from the black, and by the time you arrive at the Wu orphanage, it is already dark, how can you start an investigation? continue to do your thing, finish today's work......"

Megan glanced at Arno with a dark face: "Ha, I think you just don't want to work today, I know you, Arno!"

.....................................................................

When night fell, the moon hung in the sky for a long time, pouring the light of clear water like flowing water into the vast land.

On the high tower of the Assassin's castle, Alice, who had been training alone for several hours, sat with her hands around her legs and looked up at the beautiful moonlight.

It was only at the end of each training session, when she sat alone at the top of the castle that Alice felt the peace, and only here she could not endure the occasional glances from the Assassins, nor listen to the roommates who pretended to keep their voices down, but deliberately made mockery around her.

Looking at the flawless white moonlight, Alice felt how good it would be if this moment could remain eternal, but she knew that it was unrealistic, and she would have to face those gossip after the light.

A few months ago, I didn't care much about this, because no matter how many rumors there were, no matter how many people isolated me, as long as I had my two partners, I wouldn't be afraid or lonely!

But after knowing Pierce's thoughts, he resisted for the first time, followed by confusion, confused about how he should reject Pierce, and how he could still be as good as he used to be after rejecting him.

And Alice, who was confused and couldn't get a proper way to deal with it, could only choose to temporarily distance herself from Pierce and Morgan, because she thought that only in this way could Pierce feel her answer.

But our sluggish Mr. Pierce, who did not perceive Alice's thoughts, looked at her with the same adoring eyes as always, and Pierce's reaction made Alice extremely distressed, and she wanted to escape from Pierce's gaze, but she did not want to lose these two companions, who had been very good since they entered the Brotherhood.

"Alas~"

From Alice's delicate mouth under the high bridge of her nose, revealing two rows of white teeth, a low but pleasant lament sounded.

She reached out and took off the two heavy boots on her feet, revealing a pair of snow-white feet, and then she reached out and threw the boots far away, five toes up, the toes were very long, even up and down, unrestrained, curved together.

She sat on the ground with her legs together, a pair of slender and beautiful hands pressed on the top of her feet, and massaged her feet with slight force due to the fatigue caused by training.

"Ahem, it seems that I am not the only one who would choose to come and sit on the top of the castle when I am in trouble. ”

A voice suddenly broke the brief silence.

Alice turned her head sharply and looked at the man with a pestle and a cane, a black coat with red trim, and a black top hat with a red tie on his head, gracefully emerging from a shadow.

Looking at the man who suddenly appeared behind him, I don't know why, the grievances Alice has suffered in the past few months seem to have exploded at this moment, as if she has found someone who can vent to him without concealment, tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably, tears ran down her cheeks, then across her chin, dripping on her chest, she didn't say anything, she didn't wipe her tears, but looked at him motionlessly.

Arno let out a long sigh, stooped down to pick up the pair of boots abandoned by his master, then walked up to Alice with a cane in one hand and boots in the other, placed the boots beside her, and then sat down beside her.

"So, is there something wrong with our toothless lady? For the first time, I saw tears on the face of our strong, independent lady Alice. Arno looked at the girl with a smile.

Alice touched her tears with her sleeve, and then continued to hold her legs, burying her face between her legs: "It's not a big deal, it's just something insignificant, I'm sorry, Lord Arnold, I lost my temper in front of you......"

Arno looked at the stubborn girl beside him, and helplessly reached out on her head and gently stroked it: "Are you complaining that I punished you too harshly?"

Alice's head buried in her legs shook vigorously: "No, I never felt that your punishment for us was heavy, and even I thought it was too light, I am glad that you didn't kick us out of the brotherhood, after all... The three of us injured several Assassins in the Brotherhood......"

Arno stroked Alice's hand on the top of her head for a moment, and then a playful smile appeared on her face: "Ha, then you're struggling for Mr. Pierce, right?"

Alice looked up sharply at Arno, "How do you know!?"

Arno lowered his hand and looked at the only light in the dark sky: "I've been keeping an eye on you, you're the most favored of all the Assassins, do you think I'm going to stop paying attention to the people around you?" ”

Alice's face turned red with anxiety: "Don't make fun of me, I don't know what to do!" I don't want to change the relationship between the three of us, but I don't know how to refuse Pierce at the same time, but also make our relationship so good, help me, Mr. Arno, you must know what I should do!"

Arno pinched his chin and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him: "I have to, Alice, you have grown up and become more and more beautiful, maybe you don't realize that your current charm is irresistible for a boy as big as Pierce, but what I can't understand is, why do you care so much about the current friendship of the three of you? Or do you think that by rejecting Pierce, you can maintain this friendship forever? Or do you think that in response to Pierce's affection, you will change the friendship of the three Rao?"
