Ahem, two coughs were especially loud in this empty hall.

Victoria turned her head in surprise to see Alan standing behind her awkwardly.

Alan touched his head and said with a little embarrassment: "This ...... Sorry, maybe it's a cold, I didn't mean to interrupt you. ”

When Victoria saw Allen, she felt angry. After staring at Alan indignantly for a moment, Victoria turned back and forced herself to ignore him.

The dagger in his hand was raised again, slowly resting on his neck, and with such a slight stroke, it would be over. This was something that Victoria had planned long ago. After seeing the monastery that had lived for ten years, he left this lonely world.

But at this time, Victoria suddenly hesitated, not knowing if it was because of the presence of outsiders or for some reason.

"You can't afford to die, do you?" Allen's playful voice came from behind him, which was annoying.

Victoria tried her best to ignore Alan's presence, but the slightest sound behind her entered Victoria's ears without dropping.

Alan slowly paced down the hall and said, "This place is really deserted, and it's really hard for you to stay here for ten years. Alas...... Your childhood must have been miserable. ”

"Shut up!" Victoria finally couldn't help yelling at Alan. "What are you doing here! Get me out!"

Alan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why can't I come here, I'm here to pray, don't you monks in your monastery still allow believers to pray?"

Alan's shameless words made Victoria laugh angrily. This shameless bastard has no reverence for the church when it comes to making deals with the church. Now they lick their faces and say what to pray, this kind of hypocrite who does not have the slightest reverence in his heart should be punished by the Holy Light!

Although she was extremely angry at Allen's shamelessness in her heart, Victoria still barely maintained a good cultivation, and said to Allen with a blank face: "If you want to pray, please go to the church in front, not here."

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry, but I made a mistake. Alan apologized, and Shi Shiran turned around and left.

Victoria watched in amazement as Alan left like this, what was the situation? Victoria had prepared a set of rhetoric in her mind, and if Alan wanted to persuade herself, she would never waver. However, Alan turned out to show up and left.

Could it be that he really went wrong? Victoria couldn't help but think absurdly. Yes, think about it, I've only met him a few times, and it's still a relationship of mutual use. There wasn't much affection in the first place.

However, it is useless to think too much, and now that the guy who is in the way is gone, it is time to do what he should do.

Victoria knelt down again in front of the emblem and raised the dagger in her hand. No one bothered at this point, and Victoria closed her eyes.

But at this time, Victoria couldn't calm down at all.

Victoria put down the dagger in her hand and looked at her trembling hands, why couldn't she do it? Is my heart shaken? Am I already ready to come to my senses? Why am I so weak!

"Well, you still don't want to die." Alan's voice was soft, but it was like thunder to Victoria's ears.

"Do I really not want to die?" Victoria looked at Alan stunned, she was confused, what was her mind? What the hell is she supposed to do?

"If you really want to die, why didn't you stab it just now?" Alan came to Victoria's side and said softly.

"However, I am clearly ready to come to my senses." Victoria muttered to herself, as if still shocked by her own vacillation.

Alan frowned and scolded Victoria, "Stop deceiving yourself! You don't want to die!" Looking at the stunned Victoria, Alan continued: "Take a good look at yourself, you are a person who is not willing to be lonely, even if you really die, you will not choose to commit suicide."

"It's not like that!" Victoria wanted to retort.

Alan raised his eyebrows and said ruthlessly, "Do you think it's great for you to stay in the convent for your father?" Is it aggrieved? In fact, you are just enjoying the power that your father brought to you! You feel very comfortable watching those nuns live a tiring and complicated job every day, but they can enjoy the privileges themselves, right? Now that your father is dead, you can't maintain your pride anymore, so you're going to die, right?"

"Not really."

"You forced me to confess my engagement to Elizabeth in front of everyone, thinking that in this way you would protect Elizabeth? You're just enjoying fighting me. Do you think you really care about Elizabeth's life or death?"

"It's not...... ...... like this"

"Victoria, stop deceiving yourself. You're not a person who would sacrifice yourself for the sake of others, you're a selfish person!"

"It's not like that!" Victoria held her head and screamed, tears welling up in her eyes.

At this time, Victoria finally lost her previous calmness, lost her hard case, and revealed her truest side.

Alan grabbed Victoria's shoulder, looked directly into Victoria's eyes and said, "But! Does that negate you? Is it fake that you lived in a monastery for your father for ten years? Without you, would your father have survived ten years in the hands of King Paul? Are you thinking about Elizabeth fake? Without your protection, Elizabeth would have been betrayed to some nobleman. ”

Victoria looked at Alan with teary eyes and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Is it fun to play with me? Alan Ouranos, it's all because of you!" Victoria angrily swung the dagger in her hand at Allen.

Alan has been wary of Victoria's reaction, his eyes are quick, he grabbed Victoria's right hand holding the dagger with his left hand, twisted it behind Victoria's back, and then shackled Victoria in his arms with his right hand.

"Let go of me!" Victoria struggled to get out of Alan's arms, but Eren used his right hand hard and hugged Victoria firmly.

"Enough! Don't you understand what I mean?" Alan's roar seemed to startle Victoria, causing her to stop struggling.

Alan looked Victoria in the eye and said, "You can only see the sun if you have your back to the darkness." Only when we encounter suffering can we cherish happiness. Victoria, you are a proud person, don't let me look down on you. ”

Swish! A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder. The heavy rain that had been accumulating for a long time finally reached a tipping point, and the clouds could no longer carry it, and it poured down.

Victoria looked at Alan's deep eyes, like a mysterious and vast starry sky, and everything was contained in that starry sky. All the grievances and sorrows in her heart came up at once, and Victoria couldn't help but hug Alan, and a cry of pain rang out, and tears wet Alan's chest. At this moment, her proud mask collapsed, and what was left was a delicate, sensitive heart.

Alan let go of Victoria's hands and gently patted her back, comforting the poor girl who was only sixteen years old.

The turban on Victoria's head, which had been crumbling in the struggle, had fallen all at once. The originally bound blonde hair spread out like a waterfall, and Alan instantly felt his eyes light up. A pungent fragrance followed, and Alan couldn't help but sniff it. It is a light fragrance, a bit like the smell of snow orchid, and it smells very good.

Victoria sensed Alan's movements, but she didn't push Eren away. It seems that he is still greedy for the warmth of this embrace, and wants to stay longer.

Wait a little longer, maybe you won't have a chance next time. Victoria consoled herself. Her hands couldn't help but wrap around Alan's waist, and she didn't have to think about anything at this time. Don't think about the church, don't think about Elizabeth. This embrace is her own, and it belongs only to her Victoria.
