Chapter Seventy-Three: The Past
Holding a small cherry in her hand, lightly embellished on the top of the dish, because there were guests, so Ellie did not serve it directly without a plate as usual, today she made four more dishes, usually she and Catherine only have two dishes. Even though the boy might be an enemy of the Osford Triwizard Tournament, she still wants the guests to see her sincerity, and Bill didn't talk about friendly competitions too. Moreover, Catherine's indifference to her brother can be seen even by the most stupid person, and she hopes that this lunch can warm up the relationship between the two. If you can, you can make one more friend, and for girls, the more friends the better, and this is never too much, well, it's a good way to kill three birds with one stone.
There was a loud bang, and the frightened girl's hands trembled, and she almost threw away the fruit she was holding in her hand, and when she came to her senses, she forgot what she wanted to do just now.
Hey? Where is this fruit going to be? Over here? No, it's here?
But before the girl could remember, Edwell's angry shouts could be heard in the living room.
"Why don't you participate in the competition!"
The young man in the living room rose up excitedly, his eyes staring at Catherine, as if the person in front of him was not his sister but a mortal enemy. By the time Catherine said the word "no", he couldn't restrain himself.
"You're too weak." Plain words, but Catherine's answer, seemed to be talking about the most prosaic things, but perfectly ignoring the efforts of others.
It's another sentence, can a sentence trample the results of other people's hard work for many years? You are so arrogant! "One saying is true, if you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence, and after an hour of boiling, Edwell has no patience.
"Wait, I'll beat you and trample your arrogant mask under my feet." With that, Edwell turned and left.
"Well, is Mr. Edwell leaving?" Ellie watched Edwell open the door and was about to leave, "Let's go when I'm done eating, I've made a lot of delicious food." ”
The girl's words directly choked Edwell, almost squirting out saliva, what a scandal it would be if outsiders knew that the crown prince was choked to death with saliva.
Edwell looked at Ellie, as if the other party didn't know that he and Catherine were arguing, with a bright smile on his face, which could instantly heal his heart.
Catherine got up and walked up at this time, and gave Edwell a cold look.
"Eat."
In a trance, he seemed to see the golden light in Catherine's eyes, which made Edwell's brain dizzy, but the glimmer of gold disappeared in an instant, as if what he had just seen was an illusion. He looked at Catherine, that serious attitude, as if he had reached his childhood again, and his sister accompanied him when he was a child when she was training, his mouth was open, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and when he came back to his senses, he was already sitting in a chair, and a lunch for one was prepared in front of him.
Catherine was expressionless, eating gracefully, while Ellie sat on the side and laughed secretly, which made Edwell feel that he must have been silly and funny.
Looking down at them, Edwell picked up his knife and fork and ate his share of the food. In front of him was a steak, he cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth, but in an instant, he was completely impressed by the tender and juicy feeling of the beef, the slightly heavy taste did not let the chewing sensation decrease, his teeth slowly wriggled, and the fragrant meat juice filled his mouth, making him forget his anger, forget his sister's indifference to him, and only the lingering fragrance between his mouths remained.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Edwell looked up and saw that Ellie was smiling at him, the girl had the most confidence in herself was cooking, and the happy expression that inadvertently exuded when she ate the food was her best compliment.
The surprise was short-lived, after a moment Edwell returned to his original expression, he didn't say anything to praise, just now he was embarrassed to speak again, and he didn't want Catherine to see his "unproductive" performance, so after the surprise, he just continued to eat the food in front of him, but it was no longer the mechanical way of eating like being ordered, this delicious lunch had conquered his mouth. The food cooked by the girl is arguably the best Edver has ever eaten, which is not an exaggeration, but because Dominio's food is significantly different from other countries, and if you compare it with Ellie's food, it is no different from eating grass.
As the lunch passed in a dreary atmosphere, Edwell got up to say goodbye, accompanied by Ellie, who had to deliver lunch to Hylis and Melina, and it wasn't too late to do so.
Ellie and Edwell walked side by side on the tree-lined path of Osford, the boy's gorgeous magic robe was particularly eye-catching, attracting the attention of many passers-by, and people with a wide range of social contacts knew that it was Dominio's school uniform, and the dean also said about the Triwizard Tournament in the morning, but no one forgot this, so it is self-evident why there are foreign school personnel, but to their surprise is that walking with him is Alicia, who is known as the priest princess in the college, The way the two walked side by side made them unable to figure out the relationship between the two.
Ellie and Edwell walked silently, they naturally don't know what outsiders think, Edwell was silent, in his opinion, Alicia is undoubtedly a very good girl, not only gentle and considerate, but also good at making delicious dishes, such a girl will always bring good impressions. And Edwell is at best a child with a somewhat awkward personality, he can quarrel with Catherine, but there is always a feeling of shyness with a girl like Alicia who is as gentle as a bellflower, but he wonders if he should speak first and break the current silence, after all, he is a boy.
"That, Mr. Edwell......" The girl's soft voice appeared in Edwell's ear.
"You don't have to be so outside, you can call me Edwell."
"Is that called Eddard okay?" The girl said with a smile.
"Whatever you want." Edwell sighed.
"Huh." The girl chuckled, "May I ask you some questions?" ”
"No problem, just say it."
"Well, it's a bit presumptuous, but I want to know ...... relationship between Ed and Catherine."
"We're brothers and sisters."
"No, not asking about it......" Ellie shook her head.
"Oh, is it because of the cold relationship between me and my sister?" Edwell understood what Ellie wanted to know.
"Well, senior sister, she has become a strange stranger, very scary, I have never seen her like that." Ellie put her hands together on her chest, she came out with Edwell just to know more about Catherine, she had never seen Catherine's cold look like that, and that kind of senior sister made her feel distressed.
"Actually, it's not that I can't say that my sister was actually so cold from the beginning." Edwell said, "Although she is very cold to people, you can still feel the gentleness that is unique to my sister when you pay a little attention. But that little bit of tenderness also disappeared with the departure of the eldest brother, maybe because of the blow. ”
Edwell paused, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Ed's brother...... Is it gone? ”
"No, it's not this leaving." Edwell smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was a little dumbfounded.
"Ahh Embrace...... Sorry......" The girl apologized in a panic.
"It's okay, it's okay." Edwell said he didn't care, "Actually, the eldest brother escaped from the palace, and no one knows why." ”
"That's it."
"Well, my brother is a very good person." Edwell struggled to recall what he looked like when his eldest brother left, "To tell you the truth, the person I admired the most when I was a child was my eldest brother. He is a genius, the Magic Lanka Academy invited him to join the academy when he was 11 years old, and he was already the strongest in the academy in just three years, but in the year he graduated, when everyone was preparing for his graduation banquet, he disappeared, and it was not until he met his sister who stayed with his brother at the time that everyone learned from his sister that his brother had left the royal family. ”
"He abdicated the throne and betrayed everyone."
