Chapter 64: The Heart Knot
Because of Audele's disappearance, Rafa, who was supposed to be happy about the smooth return, became a little sullen, and did not even participate in the ceremony to welcome the three new witches to the alliance, and went to the vestibule on his own.
When he left, he didn't tell anyone other than the witch that he was leaving, but fortunately, Felicille was not stupid, and there was always a way to prevaricate, so he was now in the vestibule, and the servants were not too surprised.
But it was just dawn, and Rafa was not interested in dealing with affairs at this time, and the silly girl who had been following him all along was gone, which made him feel very uncomfortable, even very uncomfortable, and now he finally understood why the royal family or the great nobles always liked the allegiance of knights, because there was someone you trusted walking behind you, and you had more confidence in facing the front.
Passing through the empty hallway, he came to a bedroom door, which was Audrey's bedroom, and above this room was Rafa's room.
"Ao Dai, where the hell are you?"
Standing at the door and listening for a while, he knew that there was no one in the room, but the strange thing was that the room was not locked, and the copper lock on the door buckle was already open, as if he had not returned and forgot to lock the door.
He knew that the attentive Audair would never forget to lock the door, and every time he passed by Audrey's room in the past, the large lock on it was locked tightly, like a vault for gold coins.
Pushing open the door, the wall that greeted me was neatly arranged with armor, heavy armor, light armor, leather armor, and ceremonial armor, and a large wardrobe was closed, and Rafa had no intention of opening it;
"What a simple girl. Sitting down on the somewhat hard bed, and looking at the simple furnishings of the room, he once again got to know Audrey better.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he tried to imagine how Audrey would get up early every day to comb her hair and put on her armor, imagining the scene of her taking off her heavy armor every day and lying on the bed with a sense of relief.
While thinking, he also spread his hands and lay down.
It's just that something under the quilt is holding his waist.
"This is ......" got up and pulled the quilt away, and Rafa picked up the sheathed sword.
He was all too familiar with this sword, because it was made by Audrey according to his drawings, and he and Audrey each had one, but Audrey's was much larger than his.
"Ao Dai will never go out without a sword," Rafa drew his long sword slightly, the blade of which shone brightly, "but now both swords are here......"
In just a moment, countless bad thoughts flashed through his mind, and he vaguely felt that Audele's situation might be very bad.
Secretly in a hurry, Rafa put down his long sword and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
By this time, it was past breakfast time, the workers had already gone to work one after another, the clanging sound and the roar of the steam engine gradually sounded, the smoke had begun to rise from the towering chimney, and for ordinary people, the day of trying to make money began again.
In order to make himself more visible, Rafa himself went to the canteen to eat with the people, and then began to walk between the different workshops, only to learn that within a few days of his departure, the gunpowder factory had already begun to be produced, and the glass factory was rapidly taking shape under Philier's plan.
"Fili, what kind of witch are you?"
The thought of Philicille being a witch and Audele's disappearance made his joyful mood become irritable again.
Although he knew that there was a nightmare in Icefield City, he couldn't help but have something to do with the witches of the City Lord's Mansion and Audrey's disappearance, because according to Felihill, when he left, Audrey disappeared at the same time, and Audrey had always lived in the City Lord's Mansion, so at first glance, Audrey's disappearance was obviously related to the witches......
Distraught, Rafa began to walk alone towards the mines, where he was to make his next trip to confirm the impossibility.
In the end, he tinkered with the two mines for a while, and he was disgraced, but still found no trace of Audrey.
He then went to see the head of Kono, but the knights said that they had not seen Audrey, nor any suspicious person, not even the evil beast that had come to attack.
He had obviously gone all over Icefield City, and it stands to reason that if Audrey was still in Icefield City, she should have known the news of his return, but after all this time, there was still no news of Audrey.
After a long morning, it was time for lunch, and he returned to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the luncheon where the witches welcomed the new sisters.
At the dinner table, he and Felicille sat in the main seat, which was supposed to be a drinking party, but it became a little cold because he didn't say a word and only ate with a cold face.
Since no one spoke, the witches had no choice but to bow their heads silently to eat, although the atmosphere was not right, their stomachs still had to be full, especially the four Lucy, who had escaped death, ate even more unpretentiously.
"Filip ......"
After eating silently for a while, Rafa finally couldn't help but speak.
"I know what you're trying to say," Felicille, who was eating a piece of cake, paused, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and turned her head to look at him, "but you should know that I would never do such a boring thing." ”
"I'm sorry. ”
Rafa feels that the biggest advantage between him and Felihill is honesty, as long as he says that he has done or done something wrong, he only needs an apology to solve it, rather than twisting and turning, and both parties trust each other unconditionally, and there is no intrigue.
Another possibility was ruled out, and Rafa felt much better, at least the man he could trust didn't really betray him.
The witches who were eating had no idea what they were talking about, and only slightly speculated that it might have something to do with the missing Audair, but they didn't understand what it had to do with Philicon.
Dejectedly finishing his meal, he walked up to the spire on the edge of the city lord's mansion, which was the highest point in Icefield City except for the minaret of the city walls, and he wanted to try his luck and see Audrey here.
It's a very strange feeling, like giving you a piece of candy every day, you don't feel anything wrong, but one day suddenly you don't give you candy, you feel very lost and unbearable;
He never thought of Audrey as his belonging, and he had encouraged her to pursue her own worth, but the stubborn girl did not hesitate to stay with him, and he would not forget how happy Audrey was when he woke up from his coma.
Since others care about themselves, themselves
Shouldn't we care about others?
Lying on the low window, he secretly decided that if there was no news today, he would launch knights to search door to door in Icefield City.
"There's a new merchant coming, isn't it going to meet?"
With a light step, Felihill followed him to this dusty remote place.
Rafa replied without looking back, his gaze still on the distance, "Just leave it to Seapheus." ”
Felihill was silent for a moment and walked over to Rafa, "People who fall in love are always unreasonable. ”
"Love?" Rafa turned her head in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be able to say such words so openly." ”
"Isn't it?"
"Maybe, I don't know. He didn't deny it outright.
"It's the first time I've seen you look like this," Felihill leaned closer and looked at the smoking chimney in the distance, "It seems that you have completely regarded Audair as your woman, just like a child without toys will cry and make a fuss, without Audrey, you must be very disappointed, right?"
"Actually, I never thought about it that way, and I told her that she could leave here and pursue her life, and if she left like that, I would feel relaxed, but since she chose to stay, then I must be responsible for her. ”
"It's enviable...... Philicille whispered like a dream.
Although her voice was low, he could hear it clearly, and replied softly, "It's all the same, Fili." ”
"Why?" Philicille looked at him slightly, "I'm not your woman, I'm not your knight, I'm not even a friend, at most a ...... Collaborator. ”
"Hey, don't deny so many things at once, okay?" said Rafa, smiling wryly.
"That's where I stand, answer my question. It seems that Freya's habit of clasping her hands crossed under her chest has spread to Icefield City, and Felihill has also held her hands at this time.
With a white breath, he replied, "No why, just because your name is Philisille." ”
".......," Felihill continued, "why?"
"Didn't I say that?" said Rafa.
Felihill stopped talking, and stayed where she was, pondering, her brow furrowed and stretched, stretched and furrowed.
Clearly, Rafa's words were so ambiguous that she couldn't figure out what he meant.
"Our relationship isn't as good as you think, but don't forget the engagement agreement. After a few moments, Felihill finally stopped thinking and her brow furrowed.
"Oh, are we on bad terms?" asked Rafa.
"This question simply doesn't make sense. Felihill turned and walked out the door.
"Then why did I hear Hedda say that you were upset that Ao Dai came into my room in the middle of the night?"
“......”
Felihill was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped away and slipped away without saying a word.
After Felihir walked away, Rafa suddenly smiled bitterly, "Ao Dai is not the only stubborn girl. 2k reading network
