Chapter 58: Granny (I)
"Man, aren't you there?" The girl rubbed against the cold iron door and murmured. He hasn't been seen since yesterday. Christine had a faint uneasiness in her heart, although it didn't make sense, but Christine didn't know why she had an indescribable feeling.
Suddenly, a figure came into view, and a gloomy young man appeared not far from Christine, and the other party obviously noticed her.
"It's you!" The two of them said in unison, but the tone was a little different, this somewhat gloomy young man was not as good as he had seen before, and even his voice seemed extremely indifferent.
This was the third time that Consdante had met the girl in front of him, but he only nodded and passed by. But when Constance Dante walked to the old warehouse, he had to stop.
"That ・・・・・・ excuse me, are you looking for Andrew-kun?" Finally, Christine mustered up her courage and asked shyly. Although she didn't know why, her intuition told her that the man in front of her should know Andrew. The uneasiness in her heart had grown, and Andrew had never left the academy.
"Do you know Andrew?" Constance Dante didn't turn his head, but turned his back to the girl and suddenly asked.
"Well, I'm here for him. We agreed to meet here today. Christine's face had an anxious look on her face.
"yes, maybe ・・・・・・ something happened to him!" Constance Dante suddenly whispered, and he hurried out of the warehouse without saying anything more to the girl in front of him.
"Please wait!" An anxious voice came from behind him, and Constance Dante's sleeve was grabbed by the shy maiden.
"I'm afraid this doesn't match your identity, please let it go." Constance Dante's voice was very cold, and he said unceremoniously, at this time, he had no good impression of the nobles of the entire kingdom, including the people in this academy, and Constance Dante also noticed the abnormality, and it was because of this that he didn't want to stay longer.
"Please let me finish my sentence." Christine's face was full of anxiety as she grabbed Constance Dante's arm, she was genuinely worried about Andrew's safety. However, Andrew's connection to the academy is as fragile and delicate as a spider's web, and he lives here, but everything about him is blank. "Andrew Jun may be in danger." Christine wasn't sure, but her instincts told her that something must have happened to Andrew.
Andrew, there are still people who care about you!
Conseidan's heartstrings were suddenly plucked, but Consitor Dante did not stop.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't give you any substantial help right now." Constance Dante brushed Christine's hand away, he seemed to sense something, but he didn't trust the girl in front of him. After all - the man probably already knew his identity・・・・・・
Watching the young man in front of her walk away, Christine couldn't say the loss, but she was helpless. But she couldn't find a second person to help her, Andrew was just a handyman with a humble status, and even his work was not recognized. And Christine is just a low-spoken aristocratic lady, and even the ambiguous friendship between her and Andrew is not allowed.
"Hey, are you so rude in front of a noble lady, Herod?" At that moment, a cold voice came from behind Christine, and Constance Dante had to stop again.
"Miss Granny!" Christine's trembling voice was full of surprise, and the girl standing behind her and scolding Dante was really Miss Granny of the famous Andrews family.
"Long time no see." Constance Dante was still expressionless, although the two had a relationship in Findel, but Constance Dante at this time was completely different from him at that time. That cold look also made Granny's heart unhappy.
"Hmph, don't forget your identity, and we are nobles, and you are not even a commoner." Granny's sharp words startled Christine, the two were not in the same circle, and Granny's presence surprised her, and her hostility towards Constance Dante exacerbated her unease.
Christine hurriedly tried to lighten the mood, "Please wait a minute, Miss Granny. This gentleman is just a friend of mine. ”
"Yes, that's a disgrace to your House of Elodania. Back then, you were also the nobles of Sicily, and now you have been reduced to the point of falling in love with these lowly Herodians? Granny said sarcastically, causing Christine's face to flush with shame.
"This ・・・・・・ this is so rude, Miss Andrews!" Blushing, Christine argued that although the Elodanian family has declined, no one is allowed to slander them, and more importantly, Baron Elodania has always been known for his strict family style in the kingdom.
"Isn't it, Herod's boy in this storehouse, you don't see him often, and lend him books to read?" Granny unceremoniously reveals Christine's secret, and then turns the finger at Constance Dante.
"I really didn't expect you to climb Professor Preskars from a dirty place like Findel to Uptown, and although I am disgusted, I still admire your long sleeves and good dancing." Granny will always remember where she was, and the humiliation she suffered will never forget. On that day, she, the daughter of the dignified Duke of Andrews, was so embarrassed by a group of lowly Herodians. Although it was not Constance Dante who was rude to her, Granny still put the account on him.
Constance Dante also felt the hostility of the other party, but at this time he would not be as cowardly and tolerant as he had been, and he could only deter these nobles with the same meanness. It seems that someone once told him, but the time span is too great for him to forget.
"I'm just a temporary assistant to the professor, you said." Constance Dante replied lightly, and was ready to leave no longer wanting to linger.
"Stop!" Granny scolds again, "Even if you are protected by Preskas, your identity still hasn't changed. Don't forget the etiquette that the Herod had to follow before the Rastines! Granny looked at Constance Dante with a swaggering insult that Christine couldn't stand anymore. According to the law promulgated by the kingdom ten years ago, all Herod people were to kneel when they saw Rastin, but for so many years, because of the rebellion of Herod, it had long since died in name only. And Granny is saying it now, which is completely an insult to Constance Dante.
