"Chapter 167: Kuba's Last Letter"
We went to the mayor's house to discuss how to evacuate and where to move the refugees. Pen? Interesting?

However, in the course of the conversation, I also found a problem, which was about the mayor's wife. As always, Lady Aleisa came out to welcome us with that trademark beautiful smile. But unlike before, she now smiled with a little sadness, and her clothes had changed to pale black. (Kingdom Regional Funeral and Mourning Costumes)
I know who she's mourning for, the person who once pursued her, and the person she once loved, is no longer in the world, and I don't understand that feeling, but I know it's not pleasant.
"It's been a good time, Mr. Li, I'm so glad to see you return safely." Madame smiled at me and very kindly poured us the tea I had given to the mayor.
"Tea? I've seen this oriental product a few times before, but I haven't really drunk it. Rand looked at the black tea in his cup and took a tentative sip.
"It's a little hot, it tastes a little weird, but it's not bad." After taking a small bite, Rand commented.
"If you like, I can give you some black tea, it's good for digestion. Green tea works better, but you may not get used to it. "I asked Mei Long to take out a small packet of black tea from the salute I usually carried when I went out, and gave it to Rand.
"Thank you." Rand accepted the gift and thanked him.
"You talk, I need to go back to my room and see Mina." Madame put down the teapot (which I also gave me, but to be honest my Lady Aleisa's level of tea making is really average) and turned to go upstairs.
"Ma'am, how is Mina?" I asked, standing up. I still remember the little guy who would be spoiled next to me, and this war hit her hard, and I was worried about her.
"Mina is fine." Lady Aleisa stopped, turned and replied, "She's a little too tired, just rest for a while." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." I don't know why, but I thanked my wife, maybe from my sister's point of view, or maybe because I really thought of Mina as my sister.
"It's okay, after all, I'm the two of them," Madame laughed, turned and walked upstairs.
As she walked up the stairs to the second floor, she sighed and read a few prayer-like eulogies, then wiped the corners of her eyes and gently pushed open the door and entered Mina's room.
At this time, Xiao Mina was wearing her favorite pink pajamas, lying on the bed with a tired face, and the quilt was only half covered. Alesa whispered over, sat on the edge of the bed, stroked the golden hair that spread out on the pillow, looked at the immature face, carefully took out the soaked handkerchief, and gently wiped the tears from her face.
"Mina, my Xiaomina." Alaisa called Mina's name like a loving mother and covered Mina's quilt. Aresa and Mario have been married for more than seven years and also have a son named Norn. However, due to the deteriorating relationship between the Legion and the Alliance, Mario left Norn in the care of his own brother Louis, who had not seen each other for three years. As the childhood nanny of the two princesses, she has an extraordinary maternal care for her children, and after three years away from her sons, she can no longer restrain her care for these children.
"Sister, sister..."In her sleep, Mina suddenly burst into tears, calling her sister constantly.
"I'm here, Mina, Aunt Aresha is here." Alaisa immediately took Mina in her arms and kept touching Mina, and in this call and comfort, Mina finally calmed down and fell asleep again.
"Mina, sleep well." Aresha gently lowered Mina, covered the quilt, wiped away the tears, kissed her forehead, and got up to tidy up some of Xiaoina's clothes. Xiaoina has a lot of beautiful clothes, all of which were collected for her by Kuba, and in order to make the little princess live her childhood, Kuba tried everything she could in Ulembes, which lacked resources. But when the war came, these were the only things I could bring.
"Mina's clothes when she was a child?" Picking up a cute little dress in a pocket and looking at the oak flowers embroidered on it, Alaisa recalls the days when she used to take care of the cute little princess in the palace, and it was her best years. She reminisced about the past, caressing the dress. Without paying attention, the clothes slipped out of his hands, and a letter fell out of the clothes.
Puzzled, Alesa picked up the letter that looked new, and at first glance saw the words written on the cover: "My friend, my former lover,--- Kuba Kasak; ”
Aresha covered her mouth, stopped the tears that were about to fall, and opened the letter.
[Mario, Alesa, how are you?]
Mario, you irresponsible fellow, you almost killed yourself in the last battle, and that's not something I can tolerate. As your boss, I don't allow you to waste your life like this, and as your rival, I can't tolerate the feeling of Aretha when she loses her husband. But I also have to admit that ten years on, you have become a truly qualified warrior and man, and it seems that in the end I still lost to you, you little bastard. But it's all gone, and sometimes time can really dissipate the pain in my heart, at least I don't hate you as much as I did at the beginning.
Sometimes, I really want to go back in time, when we drank together, bragged about our unrealistic dreams, made Aretha laugh by doing ridiculous things in front of him, and then wrestled endlessly, and couldn't get up in bed the next day. It was my happiest time, and it was wonderful to not have the constraints of the kingdom and not to have so many burdens on me. But who would have thought that you said that you were going to pursue Alaissa, I thought it was a joke, and I promised you, and finally kicked you out for this reason. Now that I think about it, it was indeed my mistake, and I apologize to you, but it doesn't mean that I admit defeat.
I wanted to be like you, to find that Oriental man and rely on him to fulfill my dreams, but that may not be possible, and Nock is now standing outside the city with the elite of the Fourth Legion, and for the sake of my honor and the people of the city, I must go out to fight, even if the consequences may be to leave this world forever. Maybe that's why Aletha is with you, the two of us are really similar in this regard, both have the same bad temper and don't want to die.
This is the only request I have ever made to you, and the only time I have begged a man, my friend, to accept these last members of the Third Legion, whose ancestors and husbands and brothers are so brave and unyielding, that I must keep them safe. Besides, I may not be able to protect Xiaoina now, please entrust her to her sister or Alesa, she and Avellia are like my daughters, please let them live no matter what, please.
There's a lot I want to tell you, Alesha, but I don't know how to say it. When I'm standing in front of you, I'm so nervous that I can't even speak, I know it's ridiculous, but I do... Truly...
Alesha, no matter how much time has passed, I still love you, I love you immensely, may the gods bless you and Bieber, even if I die, I will guard you, I promise!
Love you, Alesa ------your lover, friend, foe, rival Kuba Kasak]
Aletha squatted on the ground, clutching the wet note in her hand, covering her face and crying softly. Behind her, Mayor Mario, who had been silent, stood quietly behind her, leaving a cloudy tear in the corner of her eye.
