Thrush Lodge on Hope Island.

Hydra, who kept a low profile during the jousting tournament, had quietly returned to her homeland, her new husband Valentine was not closely following, Bojiao's business was very busy, and King Richard also needed outside help, so the small family matters had to be put aside for the time being.

The murder behind the manor's stables is still clueless.The old woman who lives alone has something to do with the Blind Eye Cult.But there is no evidence that she killed the man.

Hydra is hardly affected by all this unsatisfactory reality, and she still maintains her cheerful and optimistic appearance, and she is willing to mingle with her subordinates, and of course the subordinates will not refuse such a 'female' master.

The rebellion of the Grand Master of the Rose Knights, the bombardment of the Dessertes, and even the threat of the Mind Flayer have become illusory legends in Thrushcross Villa.

On Hydra's third day back at the lodge, the butler brought with him several unusual guests, all of whom had pointed ears and slender figures, and although the weather had cooled, they were still wearing only a pair of 'trousers' that had just reached their knees.

Before the butler could speak, these men took the initiative to introduce themselves: "We are 'spirits' from the Danse Forest, and we have been ordered by the 'female' king to help King Richard fight against foreign enemies.

Hydra was delighted, and she didn't notice or deliberately ignored the tangled look on the butler's face: "Yes, you can use this as an ideal place to rest, and His Majesty has been in a lot of trouble lately, and he would be very excited to know that you are here to help him."

A series of long, nagging narratives followed, and the two sides slowly got to know each other on a deeper level. One of these people, a druid named Melanie, and Albert, Duke of Borot, were old acquaintances, and her adventures in the eastern side of the empire in the city of Gred were very fresh to Hydra, who had never been far away.

Melanie smiled and said, "If you have a chance in the future, you can visit my hometown of Oak, where the big oak tree needs several grown men to hug it."

"Well, traveling the world is my greatest dream, but it's a pity that men are always trying to fight for power, and as long as they don't stop for a moment, I can't fulfill my wish......."

"I see the manor is lit up everywhere, there must be some happy event." Melanie digressed.

Hydra blushed and sighed slightly, "My newlywed husband can't escape the word busy.......

It is rare for the big butler to see the 'female' host like this.He hurriedly motioned for the guests to go to the restaurant for a meal.In order to stretch Hydra's frowning brow.The chief butler had always thought that the 'female' host was the only optimist in the world.Now it seems that in fact, it is just a deeper suppression of emotions.Once there is a chance to burst out.You can still get a glimpse of the real clues.

The spirits are generally more active, the food at Thrushcross Lodge is delicious, the servants who serve are very attentive, and the sincerity of the hostess from the bottom of her heart makes them feel at home.

However, Hydra and the butler soon noticed that there was a peculiarity: the man was a little more slender than her companions, her face was somehow always red and white, she did not actively talk to her friends, she almost never looked up at her surroundings, and was always silently there with her head down and thinking about her thoughts.

Hydra put some vegetables and 'meat' on his plate, and walked up to her with a graceful gesture, and asked quietly, "Just tell me what's going on, there's always hope here at Thrushcross Cottage."

"I can't eat it......"

"Why?" Hydra leaned down and looked at each other with pure eyes.

It was also a pair of beautiful and bright eyes, but there were some tears surging around it.

Melanie hurriedly explained, "Her name is Agnes, and she has been depressed day by day since she came to Hope Island. We don't know why, it may be homesickness, unadaptability, or some other reason."

Melanie roughly estimated the age of the other party, and continued to comfort Yan Yue softly: "If you have any grievances, just say, although I am also a 'female' streamer, I can still do some of the master's ...... in the manor and even on the entire island."

"You can't save my grievances." The slender 'elf' spirit suddenly burst out and shouted, and then, in full view of everyone, got up and left the table, and rushed out of the restaurant.

Melanie hurried to accompany her, she seemed to be the most respectful of the all, although her age was not necessarily the oldest.

Hydra didn't really care about this obvious rudeness, she had only one wish in her heart at the moment, and that was to help Agnes relieve her worries.

She told the butler and the servants to take care of her, and she rushed out of the house.

Behind the restaurant is a small garden full of purple lavender, which is one of Hydra's favorite spots.

The sad spirit was obviously fascinated by the beautiful scenery, and she stood motionless in front of the flowers, as if she were a clay sculpture carved from wood.

Hydra patted her for a long time, and called her for a long time, but to no avail, and the 'female' owner of Thrushcross Lodge took the initiative to change her strategy.

In the meantime, the butler came to see her three times, and Melanie followed the butler's wishes and visited her twice, but Hydra had already made up her mind, and she just wanted to know what Agnes was worried about.

After the 'color' of the day gradually darkened, the other party finally whispered, "If someone who loves you suddenly changes his mind, then what will you do?"

Hydra's face naturally showed a look of joy, after all, the other party had taken the first step, and the hope for the rest was greatly increased: "I have always thought that love is a very sacred thing, you can love all things in the world, you can love men, women, women, young and old, but love is the only one, it binds two people together, just as God created a man and then a woman. The reason why there is love between the two of them is because they are actually destined to be one person in the dark, and after they come to this world, they become one again through love, and they breathe and share the same fate until death.

Agnes cried, her slender body trembling, Hydra tried to hold her, but was pushed away.

On the mainland of Bodie and on the island of Hope, lavender has long been a symbol of waiting for love, and Agnes threw herself on the ground, crying out as if talking to herself and asking for advice, "If this fact is only discovered and found out after marriage, does it mean that happiness can never be found again, because love is the only thing, and marriage strengthens this."

"If it's really that unfortunate...... Hydra suddenly felt a chill down her spine, she didn't know why she couldn't help but shiver. If it's really that unfortunate...... I can't imagine that. I'm sorry."

Agnes smiled wryly and said, "Maybe he really found true love...... Maybe......"

"Who is that he you are talking about?" Hydra somehow just got curious.

Agnes shook her head, "What a nice person you are, I want to be best friends with you."' As she spoke, she suddenly took a 180-degree turn of her indifferent and melancholy attitude, and she took Hydra's arm, like a pair of sisters who had been reunited after a long absence.

Hydra didn't have time to think about anything.Now that the other party was freed from her troubles, of course he had to follow her train of thought.The two of them returned to the dining room talking and laughing.All eyes were full of anxiety and unease.But they soon realized.' The hostess must have become good friends with Agnes, at least the inexplicable knot seems to have been untied.

That night, Hydra had wanted to invite Agnes to sleep with him, but the other party turned it down.

The 'female' owner of Thrushcross Lodge was alone in her bed, tossing and turning about what had happened today.There was a lingering 'shadow' in her heart.But it seemed too fanciful to think about it.She soothed herself and teased in her stomach: "If it was such a coincidence, then he must have made this choice because he had found true love.But it is more likely that the 'spirit' sister was too sentimental. Magnifying a very small thing to such an extent that maybe the other person is just a normal look or gesture to make him think it's love. Sentimentality is really unbelievable. Yes. It must be like this."

Hydra fell into a deep sleep, she had a sweet dream, and Valentine returned.

'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
