"Knock knock!"

"Put it outside, I'm not hungry." Some hoarse voices came out, and Erin hadn't slept all night, drank water and eaten.

"You're hungry, tired, and thirsty." Iroh said outside the door.

Erin turned her head suddenly, only to see Iroh push open the door and bring dessert and tea.

After talking to Susan, Susan handed Iroh the sweets and tea she had made, and since Irene hadn't eaten or drunk since yesterday afternoon, she must be very hungry and thirsty now.

What Susan didn't know was that Erin hadn't slept since last night, and she had been in a daze by the bedside.

"Why are you here with this image?" Erin asked as calmly as she could.

"Because the image of Phyllis can't be used, there are many kings who don't want Phyllis to appear in the Sky Courtyard, but I have to carry out a mission, so I use the identity of Prince Edward." Iroh said.

"Mission...... I see. Erin's eyes gradually dimmed again, like a dead star.

It turned out to be just to carry out the task, yes, maybe from the very beginning to approach yourself, it was nothing more than a task.

"Yes, if I want to complete the development of a new country with the spiritual core of Haisong, I must be by your side. After all, you are a person who will become self-pitying without the support of other people, and will not sleep, eat, drink or drink. Iroh said as he approached Erin.

"yes, I'm such a useless person." Erin didn't recklessly do it, nor did she continue to pretend to be brave, she revealed her true form in front of Iroh and took off all her disguises, "When the courage to pretend is used up, I can only curl up in the corner and tremble, and after I finish my bold words, I don't have the courage to continue walking." ”

"So I can't let you go, Phyllis can't be by your side, so I can only use the identity of 'Edward'." Iroh approached Erin again.

After saying this, Erin's defense line was finally broken.

She raised her head, met Elo's gaze, and then pounced on him, thumping him in the chest with all her strength.

"Why do you want to leave if you won't leave?" There were tears in Erin's eyes.

Iroh held Erin's hand with some distress, Erin's strength was too light, obviously, the consequences of not eating, sleeping or drinking water were devastating, she was now on the verge of collapse mentally and physically, and she was about to be unable to hold on.

"Because there are a lot of external forces influencing us, and it may even be that King Haisong." "All in all, they don't want the Enforcer to appear in the Sky Academy, so they're going to use all sorts of means to pressure the Headmaster to dismiss us. We hide our identities and sneak in, so we can't go head-to-head with them. ”

"Father? Why? Erin was curious.

"I don't know why, even the people who are pressuring are just guessing at the moment. However, the brief reason that can be roughly guessed is that the appearance of the executor in the Sky Court has caused many people who are vainly trying to use the Sky Court to seek benefits into a panic, thinking that as long as the executor is excluded, it is possible to get the dominance of the Sky Court and seek benefits from the Sky Court. Iroh said.

These are things that Iroh has never said to Erin, and it is impossible for Erin to think about this level when she hears about it.

"It's a hassle to explain, and it's a pure waste of Erin's time." "I didn't eat yesterday, I didn't seem to sleep, I didn't drink any water, and my voice was a little hoarse. So you shouldn't pay attention to that right now, eat something and drink some tea, and then rest well to prepare for next year's Sky Cup. ”

As he spoke, Iroh handed the plate in his hand to Erin.

Erin, who was emaciated, tried to hold the snack with her hand, but she didn't hold it steady and accidentally dropped it on the floor.

"Hey." Erin said, staring at Iroh's hand.

Iroh was stunned, then followed Erin's instructions and delivered the dessert to Erin.

Erin took a bite, then ate the snack in two bites, and Iroh picked up the cookie again, and the hungry Erin ate it unequivocally.

After filling her stomach a little, Erin picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea, and finally lay down on the bed tiredly.

She still refused to close her eyes, even when she was lying on the bed, she still stared at Elo closely

"Erin, it's time to sleep." Iroh said.

"Will you be gone when I wake up?"

"It won't be like this." Iroh chuckled, "I'll wait for you to wake up." ”

"I still have a lot of questions for you, but I'm afraid you'll be gone when I wake up." Erin muttered.

Hearing her say this, Iroh was slightly moved, and then approached Erin and gently held her hand, "Sleep in peace, I'm not going anywhere." ”

After holding hands tightly with Iro, Irene's hanging heart finally relaxed. She closed her eyes all night and quickly fell asleep.

Iroh gently stroked her forehead with his other hand, looking at her with some distress, the hands of the two were always held, and Iroh did not move an inch all afternoon.

When Erin woke up again, it was already night, the moon was hanging high, and the light converged at the window and fell on Irene's side.

"Good evening." As soon as Erin woke up, Iroh greeted her.

Erin, who had just woken up, was a little shy, she gently covered her cheeks with the quilt, and then whispered to Iroh, "Good evening." ”

Obviously the words that could be easily said when communicating with Phyllis have become difficult to say now, when she is not wearing a physical ring or a maid outfit, Ello's temperament is dusty, and with Erin herself, she likes him very much, so Erin is a little afraid to look at her directly.

"Hungry?" Iroh asked.

"I'm a little hungry, but I don't want to eat Susan's snacks." Erin muttered, "It's been a long time since I've eaten the dim sum you made, and I want to eat this today." ”

"Eat the main meal first, and then have a snack after eating." Elo took Erin's hand and pulled her out of bed, then changed her into her formal clothes, "Be obedient, don't go back to sleep." ”

Erin rubbed her sleepy eyes, she almost fell asleep when Iroh was dressing her just now.

After all this was done, the two went down to eat together.

“…… Reconciled? Seeing the two of them coming down together, Susan asked in surprise.

"Reconciled." Ello nodded, "Miss Susan, is there still dinner?" I don't think it's too early, do you want to redo it? ”

"There's no need, there's no need, she hasn't enjoyed the dinner I prepared for His Highness before, so I'll take these things back to keep warm, and now you can eat them as soon as you want to."

In the afternoon, Iroh stayed with Erin, so dinner had to be made by Susan.

After dinner, Iroh came to Irene's room with a snack. Erin lay on the table and read the spellbook, working as hard as she had before.

"Irene, I made some snacks." Iroh put the snacks and tea on Erin's table.

"Let's talk and eat at the same time." Erin turned her head and brought the coffee table and chair over.
