King Ken Myron finally got his wish to see Cheris, who "even a goddess cannot match", and on the other hand, after a sleepless rush, Robert finally managed to infiltrate the temple of sacrifice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly, Robert, who was hiding in a corner, was approached by the sound of hurried footsteps.

He picked up his self-defense knife and half-crouched down. "You, are you still there?"

Hey?

This voice is not ...... Isn't that the goddess servant just now?

Robert inserted the knife back into the sleeve and stepped out of the corner.

The attentive goddess servant asked softly, "How is it?" Did you find her? ”

Robert shook his head helplessly and replied, "No." ”

"Don't be discouraged, I heard that there is also a woman who is locked up in a room deep in the garden."

"Garden?"

"Yes, right there, if you go in that direction, you'll see the garden, and you can go through the garden and you'll find that room, because there's only one room for rest." As she spoke, the maid pointed in the direction of the garden.

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

After saying that, the goddess servant hurried away again, and Robert also hurried in the direction pointed by the goddess servant.

Indeed, when he had passed through the garden, he saw the room that the maid of the goddess had spoken of.

The cautious Robert looked out of the room, where two tall male servants were carefully guarding, so he could only quietly stick to the wall and go around the back of the room, and then through the lattice window, Robert clearly saw that Cheris was lying on the bed in the room.

"Cheris~" Robert called out softly.

……

There was no response, and Robert continued to shout: "Cheris~"

In a drowsy mood, Cheris vaguely heard a familiar call and hurriedly got up and sat up.

"Here, Cheris~"

Through the window, Cheris finally sees the real Robert.

"Robert!" Excited, she hurriedly ran out of bed and banged on the window that blocked her.

……

However, the two male servants who were guarding outside at this time followed the movement and had already found Robert clinging to the left side of the window.

"Catch him!"

The two male servants roared and captured Robert.

"Cheris, Cheris~~~~Wait for me~~ I'll find a way to get you out~!"

"Robert~Robert!"

After watching her beloved Robert forcibly taken away, Cheris cried bitterly.

High Priestess Ryan, who had heard the news from the playing field, hurriedly opened Cheris's room and was relieved to make sure that she was still safe and sound in the room designated by the king.

"Robert~" Cheris shouted angrily as she tugged at the collar of the high priest who had just entered the room.

"Who is Robert?"

She was bent on escaping the place to meet with Robert, and when she saw the door open, she let go of her hands that were tugging at the high priest's collar, shook her head and ran straight out of the door.

High Priest Ryan easily stopped her, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't resist the strength of the High Priest's arm.

"I see you, don't waste your strength." High Priest Ryan persuaded her and dragged her into the room.

"No~ I...... I'm going to ~meet~ Robert. She said with a slur.

"Girl, I don't think you'd better think about Robert, I don't know who he is, but now that you're the king's hand-picked woman, how could I possibly let you get out of here? Don't I even want my life? ”

She cried sadly, and she could only cry at this time, because she couldn't even break free from the high priest, how else could she escape from here?

The High Priest then locked her in the room and left.

Immediately afterward, High Priestess Ryan walked in the direction of the dungeon somewhere in the temple, as he was going to pay a visit to the man whose name was being shouted from her mouth.

"Robert?" High Priest Ryan asked the man locked up in the dungeon.

"Who is it!?" Angry, Robert looked at the strange man in front of him and said viciously: "You guys actually arrested people for no reason?!" ”

"For nothing?" The High Priest smiled and said, "Then you are wrong, you are blatantly trespassing!" ”

"So what? Did I kill someone, or did I set it on fire? ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Robert, as long as it is a person who trespasses into this temple without permission, this priest has the right to dispose of him!"

"Oh, hehe~ It turns out that you are the bastard high priest who forcibly seized the people's daughters in the name of selecting the goddess's messenger?!!"

"It seems that you are still hard-mouthed, look at what you are wearing, you don't look like ordinary villagers, where are you from? Hanging out to me?! ”

"What? You don't care who I am! ”

"I don't care who you are, but if you dare to break in without permission and find a woman handpicked by the king, then I can take care of you!"

"A woman appointed by the king?"

"That's right, knowing that it was the king's request, do you dare to mess around like this!"

"No matter what, I'm going to get her out of here!"

"Then you're really whimsical, could it be that you have eaten leopard gall!?"

"But she's my favorite! Isn't the king just looking for a beautiful woman? I can just find a beautiful woman to replace her!? ”

"Just find one? Who do you think was the one who handpicked her? In your eyes, is the king a person who can make his heart fall with any beautiful woman?! ”

"What the hell does it take for me to take her away??!!!"

"There's a way...... That is, wait here for your time! Haha~Haha~"

With that, High Priest Ryan left the dungeon.

The king was worried when he noticed that the high priest had left the venue in a hurry, so as soon as the race was over, the king came to the temple.

"Ryan, what's going on?"

"It's just a false alarm, Your Majesty."

"Oh, is she okay then?"

"Well, Your Majesty, you can rest assured, it's just that a man who doesn't know what to do is break into the temple."

"Someone broke into the temple?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but you can also rest assured that the man has been locked up in a dungeon by me!"

"Okay, haha~ You're doing a great job."

After saying that, the king hurried back to the castle of the palace in order not to make the queen suspicious.

In the dead of night, a blinding light reappeared in Cheris's room.

Immediately afterward, her whole body shimmered like a star, flickering and flickering.

Then she began to float in the air and stagnated in mid-air.

Half-asleep, she gently touched the window in the room with her fingers, and in an instant, the glass turned into an irregular small crystal "whoosh~" and slid to the ground, and the wooden lattice outside the glass became a withered rotten wood branch "click~" that could not withstand the breeze and broke.

The doorkeeper who heard the movement immediately rushed into the door, but with a gentle wave of her palm, she threw the two tall male servants against the wall, and after a strong impact, the two male servants fainted.

In mid-air, she easily left the room where she had been trapped for a day by the broken window, and she was still looking for Robert as she wandered aimlessly in the Great Temple of Sacrifice.

Finally, in a dim and damp basement, she finds Robert, who has fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Without thinking, she touched the iron fence in front of her that prevented her from meeting Robert, and in an instant the iron fence melted, and she was finally able to touch the man she loved, and then she picked up Robert and led him away from the sacrificial temple.

The black horse, which was still resting under the tree, vaguely sensed something, and desperately broke free from the reins, and it galloped away with its master in mid-air.

She didn't know where to go back to Cairo Manor, so she could only float around, but when she felt the body temperature of the real Robert in her arms, she slowly regained her consciousness.

After passing a deserted mountain spring, she finally landed slowly due to excessive physical strength.

Then, she collapsed with peace of mind on Robert's broad chest.

On the other side, the black horse finally came to the master's side after a long search, and lay down beside them to rest.

Dawn was approaching, and layers of mist were rising in the woods......

The fog made the air colder and colder, and finally Robert woke up in a chill.

When he awoke, he was shocked by what he saw, and he and Cheris were in an inaccessible woods, surrounded by a pool of clear spring water, and behind them was a dark cave.

Robert hurriedly took her into his arms, as if he were afraid that the cold of the dawn would freeze her.

It's just that the sober Robert looked at his situation and had no clue at all, how did he and Cheris escape this time?

…… He didn't want to think about it anymore before he recovered.

The black horse beside him drank the spring water in the waterhole after resting well.

It didn't take long for the morning sun to penetrate the entire woods.

The temperature rises quickly, and it is warm and comfortable.

In such an isolated wood, Robert felt safe, so for the next 10 days, they lived in this place.

In these days, every day they live so happily and to the fullest.

In the morning, they would take a walk in the woods; At noon, they would take their horses to forage in the woods; At night, they would bathe in a pool; Late at night, they would rest in caves...... During this time, there are many kinds of fun in exploring the mysterious woods.

This forest is as wonderful as a paradise.

Looking at Cheris, who shuttles through the woods with the horses every day, with a happy smile on her face, Robert secretly decides something.

When the day came when he had to return to Cairo Manor, Robert stocked up some fresh fruit in a horseback package and set out on the journey home.

After 4 days of non-stop travel, Robert finally showed up at the Cairo estate with Cheris.

The anxious housekeeper Raphael was very excited to see the master Robert for the first time, but the owner of Robert in front of him was already full of scum, which was a little incredible, and he didn't dare to bother more for the time being.

At the urging of Raphael, the steward, the horses were returned to the stables in peace, and the maids freshened up Robert and Cheris together.

Robert, who was finally able to sleep well on his fluffy bed, gently hugged Cheris beside him and slept peacefully.

These two men slept for two days and one night, and then the next night, Robert finally walked out of the bedroom.

"Master." Raphael, the butler, who had been waiting outside the door, shouted when he saw the master walking out of the bedroom.

"Raphael, I'm hungry."

"Yes, master." Raphael suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you want to wait for her to come along?" ”

"No need, let her rest a little longer."

In the dining room, seeing that the owner, Robert, had recovered his strength and ate the food, Raphael felt that it was time to tell the master.

"Master."

"Well, let's say, you never disturbed me eating, something must have happened."

"Yes, master."

"Is it the king's soldiers who are doing anything wrong?"

"Not really."

"They didn't chase them?" This made Robert wonder, completely unexpected.

"Master, it's your father, ...... him."

"Oh, by the way, father, he's supposed to be back, right?"

"Your father, Your Excellency, has died."

After listening to Raphael's words, Robert was stunned, he couldn't accept such a thing for a while.

"How is that possible!"

"It's true, master, your father didn't survive in England, and the doctor said it was caused by a recurrence of a heart attack."

"Heart disease? Isn't he better! ”

“…… It's the lord he doesn't want you to worry, so ......"

"So he lied to me that he was cured of his heart attack!"

"That's true, master."

…… Robert was silent.

"But master, the doctor said that your father was very peaceful when he left, and that he should not suffer any unnecessary pain."

……

Hearing this bad news, although Robert couldn't accept it, he still made himself look less weak and asked softly, "Raphael, where is his body?" ”

"Still on the way."

"Oh, then you can help me arrange it, what to do, just do it."

With that, Robert dropped the cloth and left the dining room.

Robert locked himself alone in his study, reminiscing about his days with his father......

Robert's father was, in his mind, a kind man. He went to England all the year round to do the family business, and he only returned to the manor once a year, and only stayed for about a week at a time.

His father was an only child, Robert, and Robert's mother died when he was 2 years old......

A child who lacks maternal and fatherly love is the reason why he will not easily open his heart to outsiders, and it is precisely because of this that there is that kind of gossip about Robert.

Pushing open the door of the study, Cheris saw Robert in tears and walked up to him suspiciously.

She gently wiped Robert's tears with her little hands and asked, "Robert~ What's wrong?" ”

"Ah~my father~ passed away......"

"Passed away?" She didn't understand the meaning of passing away, but she clearly saw Robert in grief, she gently hugged Robert from the back and comforted: "Don't cry, Robert~ I love you." ”

In the middle of the night, the Cairo Manor was so quiet that it was desolate, and Robert lay on the bed full of worries, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

That night, Cheris felt Robert's sorrow deeply, so as soon as the morning came, while he was still asleep, she crept out of the room and put on the pure white dress that the emperor had given her.

"Cheris?" Raphael, the butler outside the door, was surprised.

"Shh~~~ Robert is still sleeping, shh~"

"Oh."

As Cheris prepares to go downstairs, Raphael runs up to her and asks, "Where are you going?" ”

"Ah~ Secret!"

Looking at Cheris with a charming smile, the housekeeper Raphael did not block too much, but returned to the door of the master bedroom.

Desperate to get Robert back to his old smile, Cheris came to the side of the black horse that was grazing near the stable.

After much effort, she finally got on horseback.

With her purpose in mind, Cheris galloped out of the manor on horseback......

At this time, Robert, who returned to the manor safely, fell into grief after hearing the sad news of his father's death, and the sweet Cheris left the manor in heartache...... How did fate arrange it for them, and can they live happily ever after?!
