Chapter 18: Edith's Love
While kissing Lindsay, Edith had already sensed the murderous aura exuding from Dick's body hiding in the shadows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info is even clearer that Dick has moved to kill. He didn't care about any of this.
The woman he was holding in his arms, he would never let go. The two ended the kiss, breathing a little heavily. Lindsay was stunned, looked up at Edith who was smiling at her, and couldn't help but say, she raised her hand to pat Edith's proud face. Edith quickly grabbed Lindsay's hand: "Lindsay, you really fight." The only face I can see now is this, are you willing to do it? β
"Damn, you're so unreasonable. You love Ling Baiyi, but you came to me for comfort. Lindsey blushed and slapped Edith in the face. Edith's deft dodge misses Lindsay's slap. He hurriedly stopped Lindsay from waving his hand again: "Listen to me." β
"Don't listen, you get out of here!"
"Listen, all I loved was you. I keep telling myself that I don't love you, that I want to forget my feelings for you. Until I saw your figure on Ling Baiyi, I thought I loved Baiyi deeply. Actually, I'm just looking at you through her. I've always been reluctant to admit that I love you because I can't accept the fact that a woman can have a harem, and I want the woman I love to love me and follow me wholeheartedly. But I'm in love with you, Your Highness the Princess......" Edith's words succeeded in causing Lindsay to stop and look at him in astonishment.
"Ling Baiyi's words are not wrong, let me see my heart clearly, and see clearly the sincerity that I have been ignoring all along. I finally found the feelings I loved you at the beginning, and the pain was because my self-esteem was trampled on by Ling Baiyi. It's not that she's sad because she doesn't accept me...... Do you understand? β
ββ¦β¦ I don't love anyone. β
"I know you're in love with Fasel. To this day, his body remains in your princess's mansion. β
A crisp voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two men. Lindsay and Edith looked at the visitor, who was Isel, who was supposed to bring tea.
"Your Royal Highness, Lord Edith, I'm sorry that the villain accidentally slipped under his feet...... Teacup ......" Iseel quickly knelt down and apologized for his mistake.
Lindsay lifted Isel up and checked if he was scratched by the fragments of the cup, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Isel had no external injuries: "In the future, just leave this kind of thing to the female officer, you don't have to be busy yourself." β
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, since Issel entered the palace, I have been idle all day. How can I do it if I don't find something to do~" Isel looked at Lindsay shyly, and her voice was low and soft.
Edith on the side looked displeased, he had already heard of it. Modi sent an Oiran to Lindsay, and he didn't care about it at first, but after confessing, how did he see how dazzling Isel was.
"This is the Oiran that Princess Modi gave you?"
"Hmm......" Lindsay glanced at Edith and then at Isere, "Go change your clothes, remember, you're not here to be a servant." Go for it......" Isel nodded and bowed to the two of them.
Ithis pulled Lindsay: "You take this oiran and don't let him do things, why, when the little white face is raised by your side?" "His tone is not good, and there is something in his breath that tastes good.
"You don't have anything to do with me, you should go back. Duke! β
"I want your answer~ You can't reject all those who love you because of his death. Even if you die of pain and weeping, the dead will not be resurrected! β
Without thinking, Lindsay slapped Edith in the face: "Edith, I don't allow you to talk about him." He just slept...... He didn't die, no! β
Edith didn't get angry, seeing Lindsay like this, how could he feel better? The fault is that I fell in love with her, but I didn't regret falling in love. Because Edith knows that Lindsay is single-minded and persistent in her feelings.
Reached out and hugged Lindsay tightly in his arms. As she choked up, Edith patted Lindsay's back...... Lindsey is aware of the things Edith knows. At the beginning, although he did not follow the army to pick up Lindsay in the Holy Snow Mountain. But when they sent Lindsey home. Edith was shocked by the sight before her......
At that time, Lindsay was holding on to Fasel's corpse. It's like a puppet, not eating, drinking, or sleeping. Wash her face with tears all day long, perhaps, it was at that time that Edith fell in love with Lindsay......
"I'm sorry, Lindsay. I apologize for my insulting words. Don't cry...... Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will be cut down alive by your guards before I can leave your princess's mansion. "A good woman has no shortage of admirers around her. Anyone could see Dick's thoughts, but this stupid woman who couldn't forget the past couldn't notice it.
"Don't reject someone who loves you, no one refuses to be loved." Edith whispered softly in Lindsay's ear, hoping that Lindsey would come out of the pain. Don't always live in the past......
"Unfair...... To you...... Fasel lost his life to save me. It was at that moment that my heart died. I can't forget him, even if I accept any of your feelings, it will be unfair to you. You will only give blindly, but I cannot reciprocate. β
Itisto lifted Lindsay's chin with distress and pity: "Try to accept the one who loves you and turn your attention to us." You can't live in the past, and in this way, you will never be able to step out of the shadows. Someday, you'll collapse. When the time comes, what will the queen and prince do. β
"In this way, I'm sorry for Farsel, I can't ......"
"Lindsay, I'm sure Farsel loves you as much as you do. If he sees you suffering so much for him, he plans to live alone for his life. Will he be happy? Do you want to make him sad? He definitely doesn't want to see you like this, and you will make him feel uneasy. β
Lindsay was silent, and Edith's words hammered Lindsay's heart...... She remembered what Fasel had said to herself before she died, wishing her happiness. Now she will make Fassel feel uneasy. Yes......
"IβCan I really?" Lindsay asked cautiously, she didn't want to make Fasel feel uneasy, and she didn't want to make Fasel miserable because of her.
"Yes...... Time is the best proof. As soon as the words fell, Edith lowered her head and kissed Lindsay's trembling lips.
Time is the best proof, meaning that she will slowly forget about Fasel? Forget your feelings for him? She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to choose to forget. Eleven years...... Scenes from the past appeared in front of me, the white and vast Holy Snow Mountain.
A long time passed after Edith's confession, Lindsay changed her normal behavior and slowly digested his words. Sit in the gazebo and drink to the moon. Together, they picked up the harp and played. Dick stood behind Lindsay, looking at her affectionately. On that day, Lindsay did not take a position, but she did not refuse either. She acquiesced in her relationship with Edith......
This made Dick very painful, and the woman he loved was close at hand. But he didn't dare to say this love, after all, he was a humble person. But missing made him suffer a lot......
Both of them had their own agendas, and neither of them broke the silence. At this moment, a melodious flute sounded~ Lindsay's fingers paused and stopped. Who is it...... Who is playing the flute...... This tune......
Lindsay put down the harp and looked into the distance. Desperate to find the source of the voice, she stood up and ignored Dick's questioning, and flew away. The closer she got to the sound, the more intense Lindsay's heart beat harder. Is that him?
One turned over, and Lindsay stood neatly on the fence of the courtyard. I saw that under the moonlight, a beautiful man played the flute. Lindsay was in a trance for a while...... Originally...... Not him.
The player looked up at the passer, and when he saw that it was Lindsay, his face was full of joy. Hurriedly put down the flute in his hand and wanted to salute, Lindsay saw this, waved his arm, and the formed air flow held his body up.
"No need to be polite."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Isel nodded with a slightly red face, Lindsay rolled over and got off the wall, and came to Isel in a few steps: "Who taught you to play the flute?" β
A bitterness appeared in Isser's eyes: "...... My mother taught me from the ukiyukan, and she told me that if you want to be pampered, you have to learn a lot of techniques. Playing is just one of them...... Your Royal Highness, Princess, you ...... How did you come to me? β
"...... attracted by the sound of your flute," Lindsay said with her eyes narrowed and did not hide it.
"Isel is not blowing well, it's ugly~" After saying that, Isel raised his hand coquettishly and half-covered his red lips. In that way, whoever sees it will be fascinated by him.
Lindsay smiled slightly and stretched out her hand: "Come on~ It just so happens that Princess Ben is also drinking." β
Ethel hurriedly took Lindsay's hand, and she pulled it lightly, taking Iseel into her arms. A few more longitudinal crossings led him to the courtyard of his inner house.
"Sit down......" Lindsay let go of Isel and returned to his seat, Dick pouring a glass of wine for Lindsay. He looked at Isel and handed him the flask.
At first, Isel was a little restless. The man standing behind Lindsay looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes, and then, after a few glasses of wine, he was not as scared as before. Cautiously talking to Lindsay, Isel looked around in his spare time, this pavilion was his first time.
There was a damp smell in the air, mixed with the scent of grass. Lindsay gently placed the empty cup in her hand on the table, picked up the harp beside her, and fingered the fluctuating strings. The beautiful and sad sound of the piano sounded, mixed with Lindsay's countless feelings.
When Issel played the first note in Lindsay, he realized that this piece was the one he had just played. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Isel picked up the flute on his waist and played with Lindsay.
At the end of the song, the two were still unsatisfied. Dick on the side was also moved, and secretly praised the sound of Isel's flute. Isel cleverly poured wine for Lindsay, and after the two glasses were full, he held his own glass: "Your Royal Highness, I respect you." β
Touch the two cups lightly and drink them separately. Isel's gaze fell on the flower bed again: "What, you like my flowers so much?" Lindsay asked.
Isel nodded: "Well, I have never seen such a beautiful flower since I was a child. For some reason, at the sight of these flowers, Isel's mood was very calm. β
Lindsay beckoned, and Dick stepped forward: "Your Royal Highness, Princess, what are your orders?" β
"Arrange Isel's room in the spare room next to my bedroom." Dick looked surprised, but Lindsay's decision he couldn't disobey. After receiving the order, he flew away, and Isel hurriedly knelt in front of Lindsay: "Your Royal Highness Princess, thank you...... You take such good care of Iser that Iser has nothing to repay. β
"What are you doing here?!" Lindsay pulled Iseel up and patted his red cheek: "If you like it, it's fine~ don't thank me...... That's all I can do. β
"You...... You ......" Isel wanted to say and stopped, and the look of wanting to say but not daring to say was really playful: "Ask whatever you want......"
"Your Royal Highness, why are you so good to Isel? Issel has been in the princess's mansion for so long...... You...... You've never ...... He never invited me to sleep. Do you hate me......" Isel mustered up the courage to ask his doubts, and Lindsay was stunned by the question, her face a little embarrassed.
"I didn't bring you back to warm the bed, I don't need to."
"You...... Do you hate me......" Hearing Lindsay's words, Isel's eyes turned red: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Isel doesn't treat you as a hungry person. I don't even think that you are a bad person, princess, and you want to bully me. I've been in the princess's mansion for so long, and you won't let me do anything. Don't touch me either...... It makes me feel like I'm a useless person. Princess Modi gave me to you, then I will be a person of Her Royal Highness for the rest of my life......"
Looking at Isel's appearance, Lindsay suddenly became irritable. In a trance, the figure overlapped with Isel. She stood up abruptly and was about to leave, but seeing this, Isel hurriedly grabbed Lindsay's sleeve and said timidly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, did I do something wrong?" I'll change, don't hate me, okay! β
Lindsay pulled back her sleeve and pushed Isel away and roared, "Don't use this face to make a pitiful humble expression!" Damn it! β
Issel gasped in fright at Lindsay's reprimand. Tears came out of his eyes, and he didn't dare to cry out loud, there were bursts of sobbing. After venting, Lindsay's mind suddenly cleared up, and the nameless fire in her heart dissipated. She turned her head to look at Isel, whose face was flushed with tears. In desperation, she felt a little remorseful. What kind of madness is she smoking, she actually pushes and scolds a helpless person.
Lindsay walked up to Isel and helped him up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears for him: "I'm sorry......"
"No, it's my fault...... Makes you unhappy...... Your Royal Highness, you must not hate me...... I really didn't mean to. β
"I don't hate you, okay, go back and rest!"
"Your Royal Highness, you don't like me, it's okay. I...... Can I have a small request. Living here, I don't do anything, others will chew on the root of the tongue. Can I take care of your daily life? I'll do a lot of things...... Make dim sum ~ cook. Mom, they are full of praise~! I want to do it for you, princess, too. β
Seeing this, Lindsay couldn't refuse and acquiesced to Isel's request: "Just do what you can, don't force yourself." β
Dick returned to Lindsay: "Your Highness, Ethel's room is ready to move in. β
"Thank you, Master Dick." Isel owes himself and leaves the gazebo with Lindsay Dick.
