Chapter 7: Your Kindness
"It smells so good."
After a while, the smell of enough to make the hungry sin sin covered the place, and caused two loud grunts.
Belen looked at Latil and Latis, and he saw that the two girls were staring at the broth in the pot with wide eyes.
His eyes were like those of a chick thirsty for food.
Belen, who retracted his gaze, pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth seemed to hook up an imperceptible arc, as if he was laughing?
"The soup is ready."
As he spoke, Belen reached out and took two bowls and spoons from the wooden box, then stood up and handed them to the two expectant girls sitting across from her.
However, the two sisters did not take the bowl directly, and Latiel's expression was a little hesitant, and she raised her head to look at Belen, who had a calm face.
"Mr. Belen, you..."
'If you have something to say, you will have enough to say.' ”
Hearing Belen say this, Latil was also stunned for a moment, then nodded, she took the bowl and spoon with both hands, and then got up and walked to the pot of soup.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Latice thanked in that very childish voice, then took the bowl with both hands, and then trotted to Latill's side impatiently.
Belen turned to look at the two sisters who were scooping up the soup, he was silent for a while, then walked to the caravan, took out a book from the carriage, and then went outside, sat down against the earth dragon, and looked at the book to himself.
Latil drank two bowls of soup, her face was satisfied, and her originally drooping cat ears were also mentally erected, which was really cute.
"Drink well."
After drinking the bowl of soup, Latil let out such an exclamation, and then looked at Belen, who was reading a book in the distance, she quietly looked at the man who was reading, and then glanced at the soup in the pot.
Belen's mind was completely immersed in the book, and at this moment, the light in front of his eyes was suddenly obscured, he was slightly stunned, and then raised his head, his gaze straight.
"That, Mr. Belen... You haven't drunk it yet. “
A ragged cat-eared girl stood in front of Belen, looking a little reserved, holding a bowl full of soup in both hands.
Looking at the bowl in Latier's hand, Belen was also stunned, and then, he looked at the little face full of nervousness, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Belen took the bowl of soup from Lattier's hand, and said that he hadn't eaten much tonight.
Grunt.
The temperature of the soup was just right, maybe the girl in front of her had done something to make the soup not so hot.
Thinking so in his heart, Belen had already finished the bowl of soup, and he looked at the empty bowl in his hand, and before he could make the next move, he saw two hands stretched out in front of him.
"Leave it to me."
Hearing Latil say this, Belen did not refuse, he thanked him again, and then handed the bowl in his hand to the girl.
"That's... Does Mr. Belen still want to drink? ”
"No, that's enough."
So Latir took the bowl with both hands, a smile on her face, and then retreated, returned to the fire, took the bowl and spoon that her sister had drunk, and began to tidy it up.
Seeing her like this, Belen frowned slightly, he could see that the girl was just too nervous, so the things in her mind were too complicated.
Still, skepticism and caution are understandable.
Because Belen and the others were located next to a small stream, Latil could also wash the dishes, but the forest was cold at night, and so was the water of this stream, and her hands were red from the water, and her cheeks were white.
But even so, she insisted on cleaning the dishes and pots, and when everything was cleaned up, she returned to the fire to keep warm.
Latis was still young, and she couldn't bear the sleepiness of the warm flames, and fell asleep on her side on the lawn.
And Latil therefore asked Belen for a blanket and covered it for Latis, the fire would eventually be extinguished, and it would not be good for Latis to fall ill at that time.
Latir, who sat beside the big rock, was not sleepy for a moment, and she warmed her red hands with the breath that came out of her mouth and the heat of the fire.
Belen looked at the somewhat lonely back, and after a moment of silence, he closed the book in his hand, and then put it aside, he stood up and walked over.
As he passed by Latil, who also came back to her senses from her thoughts, she watched as Belen sat on a stone in front of her.
"Mr. Belen?"
You don't have to be so nervous.
Belen wanted to say it directly, but he felt that he couldn't say it, and he also felt a little hypocritical, so he didn't say it.
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
Huh?
After hearing Belen's question, Latil was immediately stunned, her face stiffened slightly, it turned out that she had been misunderstood.
Belen also noticed Latil's strangeness, and he suddenly subconsciously became nervous, did he say something wrong?
"If I could, I would take my sister to a far away place."
Hearing her words, Belen also blinked, and didn't seem to expect the other party to say this, a little surprised, and a little disappointed.
"Well, if you have a plan, forget it."
What does that mean?
Latil didn't know what Belen meant, she looked at the man in front of her suspiciously, as if she wanted to get an answer from the expression on the other party's face.
She didn't know how Belen had brought her and her sister out as slaves, perhaps because she knew the duke, which had made the duke pay the thousand gold coins.
This kindness is really precious.
Now it seems that the Mister Belém did not want her and his sister to be his slaves, which also relieved Latir, but at the same time she was a little confused.
She was ready to be a slave, or, in a better way, a servant, so that she and her sister would have a place to live, after all, this Monsieur Belén was not a bad man.
But now it seems that this Mr. Belém has no intention of taking her two in, so is he really going to a distant place as he said?
Her eyes were full of confusion, because she didn't know where to go.
"Thank you very much Mr. Belen for your rescue, my sister and I will never forget your kindness, in order not to trouble you, my sister and I will leave tomorrow morning, thank you again!"
Latir stood up, bowed to Belen, and said it very sincerely.
However, when he heard this, Belen had complex emotions in his eyes, and then, a look of loneliness and helplessness appeared in his eyes.
"Mr. Belen, why is there so much misfortune in this world?"
