Chapter 38: Relief
It's late at night! In a small cabin far from the other rooms at the back of the hall, in the wooden house at this time, the bonfire was burning, and a pair of young men and women sat side by side, the man hugged the girl tightly, and the girl hugged the man's waist, and the whole person was buried in the man's arms, they were obviously a pair of lovers, and as they talked softly, even the air around them felt a trace of heat.
Evan hugged Linda in his arms, and as he had done every day, the two talked in a low voice, confiding in each other their thoughts and concerns, although the location was changed from the seaside to the wooden house, but it did not prevent them from communicating with each other's hearts.
Evan seemed to be just a listener tonight, he had been listening to Linda, listening to Linda talk about how much she missed him, and listening to her talk about how she picked up a dagger and wanted to go with him when she knew that Evan's life was threatened.
Hearing that Linda was coerced by her father, she chose temporary forbearance in order for him not to be hunted down, and decided to marry that Ramquist to fight for his hope of survival.
Listen to Linda talk about how much she misses him, and countless nights when she can't sleep because she worries about his safety. Imagine Linda sitting on her knees alone in the dark of night, praying earnestly to the gods that her beloved would live in peace...... Evan couldn't help but be moved.
Listening to Linda's poignant and moving narration, Evan could feel the deep love that came from the depths of his soul. He could deeply feel Linda's worry, hesitation, helplessness and deep attachment to himself at that time.
That's why in the dining room just now, Evan knew that he was wrong to blame the other party the first time he saw Linda, and the little depression in his heart instantly dissolved. At this moment, he had completely opened his heart and let this girl who loved him with all his heart walk in.
"Evan, please don't hurt my mother, don't kill her or make her a slave?"
Just as the two were quietly enjoying the beauty and tranquility of this moment, Linda in her arms suddenly raised her beautiful little face and said to Evan with a pleading face.
"Huh? Didn't I trouble her? I've never thought of it that way, how can you say that? ”
Evan asked with a puzzled expression, he didn't know what medicine Linda had taken wrong, how could he say such a thing. He killed Linda's father, Rolf, but it was completely Rolf who deceived people too much, and he forced Evan to do it step by step, and now Linda talked about her mother, and Evan really never thought about killing Ainar or enslaving her.
"Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you? ”
Hearing Evan's answer, and then looking at the questioning look on Evan's face, Linda immediately realized that her man had really never thought like this. Although she was willing to believe the young man, she still asked cautiously, but this time Linda's little face smiled like a flower.
In fact, it's no wonder that Linda is so worried, in the history of the Vikings, there have been several cases where the lords have been killed, and those lords who were killed were all full of evil, and they treated the clansmen with arbitrary bullying, which eventually led to the clansmen rising up and killing their leaders.
In the past, those who won would kill the chief's family, relatives, and even those close to them. Such stories have been happening since ancient times, which is why Linda is so worried.
"Really, I lied to you too. It's been so long since it happened, haven't I been looking for your mother? Besides, aren't you one of them? I don't dare to upset my cutie. ”
Evan guessed what Linda was worried about, so he told Linda directly and with certainty that he wanted Linda to completely dispel this concern.
In fact, after Evan killed Rolf, someone told him about it and was willing to do it for him, but Evan refused at that time, he was forced to kill Rolf, but if he continued to kill Ainar and even Linda, such a result was not what he wanted.
Although he hadn't seen Linda since the incident, he didn't know if the woman he once loved had really changed her mind and had betrayed her.
But in the last moments of the day, the scene where Linda stabbed Ramqvist in front of the whole clan was extremely real. At that moment, Evan still firmly believed in his heart that Linda loved him deeply.
But after the incident, when he wanted to find Linda, he hesitated, after all, he killed Linda's father, and the revenge of killing his father was a hatred that was not shared. He didn't know how he should face Linda, and he didn't know if Linda would understand and forgive himself.
Another point is that he also cares about the feelings of his adoptive mother Nala and the family, after all, all the misfortunes were caused by Rolf, and even almost killed their family.
Although the family is still alive after the event, Nala has been disfigured because of this incident, and with the current medical conditions, it is unknown if such a trauma can be recovered.
A woman's appearance is extremely important to them at any time, in any place, and this has become an eternal wound in Evan's heart. Until the day when Nala could regain her appearance and take off the veil, he still couldn't let go.
The last thing is the shadow of war left by Ramqvist's death at that time, which prompted Evan not to look for Linda, although he knew that they still lived in the tribe, but they just changed to a normal cabin and did not go far, but Evan was very busy, and at the same time he also wanted to give himself and Linda a period of calm time.
Of course, he also rejected the proposal to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, his woman will always be his, even if the final result is that he is wrong, even then he admits it, only when his eyes are blind and his heart is dead, and he sees a person clearly.
"Evan, you're so good!"
Hearing Evan's serious and affirmative answer, Linda said excitedly and loudly like a little girl, and she eagerly and excitedly stretched out her pink and round arms, wrapped her arms around Evan's neck at once, and imprinted a deep kiss on his face, in order to express the infinite joy in her heart at this moment.
"You...... Like a child. But...... I'm not so perfunctory, you say? ”
Evan smiled, smiling maliciously. Feeling the heat and sweetness on his face, Evan's body reacted irrepressibly, he looked at Linda in his arms with a strange smile, lowered his voice and laughed.
"Not enough? So what do you want? You can't bully people! ”
Linda smiled coquettishly when she heard Evan's words, her eyes watery as she looked at the handsome and handsome face that was close at hand, and her snort was full of the unique smell of the man she loved deeply. She didn't dodge, just like her personality was like a little witch, and said coquettishly.
"The more you don't allow me to bully you, the more I want to bully you, the big bear is coming!"
Hearing Linda's shy, provocative words, and seeing the emotion on her face, how could Evan not understand. He laughed, his body already pounced.
The temperature in the cabin seemed to rise suddenly, and the infinite passion was enough to blind everyone's eyes. Of course, you don't have that chance......
Early in the morning, Evan washed up, opened the door and walked towards the dining room. The strange thing is that he came out like this alone, and there is no Linda's shadow by his side, is it because Linda is embarrassed to see people, or maybe she tossed too hard last night to get out of bed?
In fact, Linda left last night, she didn't want to tell Nala to know that she was spending the night here, no matter how she was a girl, not to mention that Rolf and Ainar had been teaching her etiquette in the first place, so she belonged to one of the few girls among the Vikings who had a sense of shame and knew the etiquette of Taoism.
She didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of her future mother-in-law because of this matter, after all, it was the first time she took the initiative to come to the door, and her identity was still quite embarrassing, so temporary reserve was necessary, so there was a scene where Evan was wandering alone early in the morning at this time.
When he arrives in the dining room, the delicious, carefully processed food is already on the table.
Although the family was already a high lord and could use slaves and maids to take care of their daily life and cooking, Nala still tried to cook for her family when she was not busy.
Every time she watched her family sit around and happily eat the food she had prepared, she would feel deeply intoxicated, and she felt that this was a happy and happy life.
But when Evan stepped into the dining hall this morning, he was greeted not only by the food, but also by the strange eyes of the family, especially the two little puddings of Russ and Mary, who were trying very hard to stretch their necks to look behind Evan!
