At a church hospital in Tuttle Town, the door was crowded with knights who had come to pay their respects to Miller, and the hospital was surrounded by a sea of people.

Miller was lying in a hospital room bed, already in a deep coma due to blood loss, with a faint breath remaining in his mouth.

Around the room stood Robitt, Cook and other captains, as well as Aarius and his sister Sarah, all of whom looked at Miller intently, each with a pained expression on their faces.

Marcello was busy in front of the bed, and with her blood-stained hands, she slowly stitched up the huge wound in Miller's abdomen.

One of the attendants accidentally slipped off the medical knife in his hand, the knife was extremely sharp, and it was plunged directly into the ground, startling Marcello to stop and look at him seriously.

The attendant hurriedly picked up the knife, bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry Lord Masaro, I didn't mean to. ”

Cook was the most anxious, and he immediately reprimanded: "What are you doing, so careless, what if you hurt someone?" ”

Marcello looked back at Cook and smiled, "Oh, it's fine. ”

Marcello then glanced at the attendant and told him to clean the knife and re-disinfect it with fire.

Then Marcello stitched up the wound and explained, "Fortunately, the wound is not very deep, it did not hurt the internal organs, Master Miller, this is only a temporary coma, and there should be no danger to life." ”

After saying that, Marcello picked up the scissors and cut off the sutures, and then asked another attendant to bandage Miller's wound, and then she reached out to wash her hands in the basin beside her.

Cook stepped forward and asked, "And when will Miller wake up?" ”

Marcello smiled naturally, and she said happily: "Okay, they all say that he is fine, just let him rest for a while, and he will definitely wake up tomorrow at the latest." ”

Then Alius angrily rebuked Sarah and said, "Look, now you are satisfied, right?" Mistress Miller is a wise strategist, not a commander on the battlefield, so why do you have to laugh at people for not going into battle. Lord Miller has gone to many powerful places, and it was Lord Miller's strategy that relied on the horses of Tubisi back then, so you have nothing to do. ”

Cook coughed and persuaded Alyus: "Forget Alius, I believe Sarah didn't mean it, and if you want to blame Miller herself, she has to run to a duel with Borda in order to save face." ”

Alius shook his head and said, "No, this matter can't end so easily. I'll tell you Sarah, you take good care of Mistress Miller tonight, and if something goes wrong with Master Miller, don't blame me, the elder brother, for being ruthless to you. ”

With that, Alyus walked aside in a huff, and he seemed very angry at his sister's mistake.

Sarah wiped away a handful of tears and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, Ladies and Gentlemen, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Actually, I didn't mean to mock Master Miller, but I just joked with him, I didn't expect him to be so serious. ”

Marcello smiled when she heard this, she wiped her hands with a towel and said, "Okay Sarah, we all know that you actually like Lord Miller, or you should accompany Master Miller tonight." Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep peacefully that night. ”

Sarah lowered her head and sobbed a few times, then nodded silently.

Marcello then waved to everyone and asked them all to leave the room and let them both be alone, so that Miller could have a good rest.

After arriving in the courtyard, Marcello shouted to the knights gathered here, "All right, Lord Miller is asleep, he is fine, please come back, knights." ”

One of the guards asked, "Lord Marcello, can we see Lord Miller?" Just take a look. ”

Marcello shook her head and replied, "No, Master Miller is bleeding a lot, and now he needs a good rest." If you all want Mistress Miller to get better soon, then please go back and rest quickly. You're all crammed here, and the air here isn't very clear, do you want to suffocate Mistress Miller to death? ”

Hearing what Marcello said, the knights immediately began to retreat and reluctantly left the hospital.

Seeing that all the knights had dispersed, Marcello turned to look at Cook, then took Cooka aside and asked him in a low voice, "Cook, I have been busy treating the wounded for the past few days, and I don't have time to visit Caldis. How is your cousin doing? Still don't talk much? ”

Cook shook his head and sighed, "Hey, the prince's death hit him too hard, and I don't know what to do." Miss Marcello, my cousin used to be the most open when he was with you, and your place in his heart has always been very important. I hope you will take the time to visit my cousin, he will be in good spirits when he sees you, and we are waiting for him to take us to deal with the barbarians, which is a matter of great business for all of us, and you must help me with this anyway. ”

Marcello sneered and said, "I still have a place in your cousin's heart?" Shouldn't your cousin have that Lisa in his heart? ”

"Lisa?" , Cook laughed and said, "How is it possible, my cousin has always regarded Lisa as a friend, can't there be friends between men and women in this world, must be that kind of relationship?" Maybe Lisa thinks differently, but the Duke of Caldis is my own cousin, and I don't know what he thinks in his heart? ”

After hearing this, there was no smile on her face, she looked up at Cook, and asked seriously, "Then what does your cousin think in his heart?" ”

Cook shook his head and said, "I don't know what he thinks, but I'm sure my cousin doesn't think anything wrong about Lisa, it's completely impossible." ”

Marcello nodded silently, and then she asked, "Okay, where is your cousin, I'll go see him now." ”

Cook hesitated for a moment, then immediately turned and reached out to lead Marcello, and the two left the hospital and went to a small two-story house in town.

After bringing Marcello to the door, Cook asked, "Cousin didn't have the lights on, and he was probably still sitting on the balcony in a daze." Are you afraid? Do you want me to go upstairs with you? ”

Marcello shook her head and replied to Cook, "Alright, you go get busy." ”

Cook nodded, he took a few steps back, looked up at the balcony upstairs, and then turned away with a sigh.

With heavy steps, Marsalo slowly walked up to the second floor and went directly to the room where Caldis was.

The room was dark, but Caldis did not sleep, and sat quietly on a chair on the balcony in the moonlight, his eyes staring in the direction of the Yuguan fortress on the south side. For Caldis, he lost all his fame and prestige at Yuguan, and he never had any confidence again.

Marcello reached out and brought a chair and sat quietly beside Caldis, she spoke slowly: "In the past, everyone said that Prince Railton was our savior, and that we would be the greatest new king of Knight. For this reason, many reasons were found to describe what was happening around the prince as an allusion to the oracle, that His Royal Highness was the one who was protected by the gods. ”

After speaking, Marcello slowly leaned back in his chair and continued to say in a tragic tone: "But people are wrong, Prince Railton is just an ordinary person, he will also face failure, and eventually die because of a plague. Now that Prince Railton is dead, no one in our kingdom's royal family has been spared, but that doesn't mean that we have lost hope completely. Now we Knight are still fighting the Barbarians, and the Barbarians still can't defeat all of our Knight people. Today, Cook fought another battle with the barbarians, and personally killed Borda, the murderer who slaughtered the northern country, and avenged the blood revenge for many dead people in the northern country. Miller, who has never been good at using swords, also went into battle today, but he was injured and is still unconscious in the hospital. ”

Caldis looked sideways at Marcello in a daze, and after staring at him for a long time, he asked, "Miller, how is he?" ”

Marcello lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, and then she endured the pain, deliberately acting strong, and replied to Caldis: "Miller is nothing serious, and it will get better after a few days of rest." I don't know why Dragon City has to kick you out, I just know that even if everyone is down to this point, Robitt, Cook, and Miller are still holding on and never giving in. ”

After speaking, Marcello flashed tears, looked at Caldis and asked, "Lord Duke, it was you who gave countless refugees a chance to live in Alto, and made all Alto people full of confidence in the future. Because of your departure, the people of Alto's territory are grateful to you, and even 10,000 people have lived and died with you, and they have come to Wutuo's territory all the way with you, rain or shine. But when everyone is still holding on, why do you suddenly become decadent, and what should you think about this group of people who follow you? Do you want the barbarians to enter Wu Tuo's territory today, and do you want everyone to be slaughtered by the barbarians? ”

"No, it won't." Caldis got up and said: "Everything has been discussed in advance between me and Miller, we will stay in Qinyu Kingdom as planned, and then go north to Huiyuan, and then venture north to Wu Tuo, and finally seize Wu Tuo's territory." ”

Barely believing her ears, Marcello got up and asked, "What?" You're saying that you and Mistress Miller have been working on these actions for a long time? ”

"Yes." Caldis calmly replied: "Including the construction of a fortress in Tutel, and even today's war, all this is expected by us. ”

Still not convinced, Marcello frowned and asked, "But why?" Why did you choose to pretend to be so decadent? ”

After hearing this, Caldis smiled and said, "It's very simple, if I don't pretend to be like this, there will definitely be more than two Imperial Knight Figures sent by Varkas today." But I hope you don't talk about it to anyone, because there's a lot more to it and you'll understand later. ”

Marcello shook her head and said, "Of course I won't tell anyone, but there is one thing I don't understand, why didn't you choose to justify yourself instead of leaving Dragon City?" ”

Caldis turned to face Marcello and whispered to her, "After Duke Thatcher cares about the affairs of the territory, Dragon City is Cologne's master." In order to avoid us Knights killing each other, my only option was to leave Dragon City, but I didn't expect Cook and Robit to leave with me. From the moment I killed that evil nobleman, I felt that it was becoming more and more dangerous for everyone to mess around like this, so I agreed on where we were going later with Miller. Of course, we also took one step at a time, and when we left Qinyu Kingdom, we decided to go north to Huiyuan, and when we went to Huiyuan, we decided to venture north to Wutuo's territory. ”

"Oh." Marcello nodded, though he felt that Caldis and Miller were deliberately hiding from everyone, which was very unfair to everyone. But in fact, she also knows that this is all for the good of everyone, because people are easy to make mistakes, and the less people know their ultimate goal, the more chances of success.

Thinking of this, Marcello was completely relieved of Caldis, she didn't even want to ask them what they would plan in the future, but asked, "Okay, then let me ask you one last question, do you like Lisa or not?" ”

Caldis was stunned for a moment, as if this was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, and his face was full of surprise.

"Okay, I know the answer, you don't have to answer." After speaking, Masaro leaned on Caldis's arms, and two lines of tears could not stop dripping on Caldis's shoulders.

Caldis still didn't say a word, he just reached out slightly and stroked Marcello's back, silently comforting her.

Marcello asked, "I'm sorry, I was mistaken, I shouldn't have said goodbye that time, I thought you and Lisa already had a heart." ”

Caldis smiled and said, "Oh, I said why did you leave all of a sudden, and I thought we had neglected you and your father." ”

Marcello looked up at Caldis with teary eyes, and asked him affectionately, "Tell me, Caldis, why did you tell me everything?" You won't even say anything to your cousin Cook, but you believe me. ”

Caldis shook his head and said, "I don't know. Every time I face you, you always make me feel very stable and trustworthy, and I can't help but tell you everything, and I dare not hide anything. ”

Marcello laughed happily, and at the same time she cried again, and then the tears of emotion made her hold Caldis even tighter in excitement.

The next morning, before it was much light, Marcello and Caldis came to visit Miller in her room.

Miller had already woken up, and he was smiling at Marcello and Caldis, with the familiar Sarah lying in his arms.
