Chapter Twenty-Six: The Maiden's Name Is Sylvie
readx;?“ It's me! ”
His mind entered his ears coldly, startling Simon. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info before he could pat his heart, the knocker had already pushed the door and walked in - it seemed to be Alice's best friend.
"Alice, I'm in."
It's just that when I came in and found that Alice was not there, but a strange elf man, the man was stupid.
And seeing the man's appearance, Simon was also stupid.
It was a young woman dressed in a maid's costume, slender and slender, and she looked at it with the smell of youth. But Simon couldn't have imagined that he would be a young girl if he only listened to his voice.
Her voice was hoarse and dull, as if sand had scraped against a rock.
The women Simon has met since coming to Azeroth don't look good, but at least they have good voices. So he was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, because it really didn't look like the sound that a girl should make.
What surprised him even more was the girl's appearance.
What a face that is! Although her eyes were large and bright, her beautiful black eyes were almost like she could speak. But most of her face is covered with red marks that seem to have been burned by the flames, and will take away all your attention in the next moment. The deep and shallow wound distorted the skin that should be white and smooth, which made people really shocking to see, and subconsciously they couldn't bear it or were afraid, and they couldn't help but turn their heads and didn't dare to look at her for a second time.
Especially Simon has only seen his own appearance - the level is so high, and there is such a big contrast in an instant...... It's the difference between an orange suit and a whiteboard.
Simon's reaction was a little sluggish under his thoughts. So it seems that the other party's reaction is faster than his. The girl let out a low cry that bordered on a whimper, and hurriedly turned her head to the side to cover her face with one hand, and put on the tulle that was fastened from the headband with the other.
"Right...... I'm sorry. Did I scare you? She hid in the shadows of the room and quickly straightened the veil that covered her face, apologizing vigorously in a trembling voice. I...... I'm only here for Alice to wear a veil, I'm sorry. I didn't know Alice had guests. Or a distinguished guest like you. Please forgive me if I scare you. Don't drive me away. ”
Her voice was hoarse, but the fear of being driven away calmed Simon.
He couldn't help but sympathize with the maid.
Judging by her slender figure, the maid seemed to be nothing more than a young girl.
For a woman in the flower season, her voice and appearance are so unbearable, this is really a tragic thing.
Not to mention the way I am now...... Ordinary women will be ashamed of themselves when they see it, and when the girl in front of her sees it, I'm afraid the taste in her heart is even more uncomfortable.
At this thought, Simon lowered his voice and comforted her. "I should be the one who says I'm sorry. It was I who didn't answer you in time. I'm sorry. Suddenly appeared here. Seeing that the maid still turned her back and looked very frightened and uneasy, Simon thought about it and said, "You don't have to worry, I'm not a guest." I'm just a passerby who was kindly rescued by Alice. So, I don't have the right and won't drive you away. ”
After he said this, the maid seemed to relax a lot. She stammered and asked, "Alice...... Rescued? ”
"Hmm!" Simon nodded hurriedly. "So, don't be afraid."
Listening to his words, the maid finally relaxed. Seeing that she let down her guard, Simon hurriedly continued, for fear that she would not know what to do if she was cold.
"My name is Simon. What about you? ”
The maid waved her hand. "Me? Sylvie. ”
Sylvie ...... The name has a subtle familiarity to Mao. Simon hadn't come up with a reason yet, and Sylvie had continued.
"But usually, only Alice would call me that. Most...... You'll just call me ugly......" Sylvie's voice grew lower and lower, a helpless wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth under the tulle, and her hand gently pinched her skirt.
This answer embarrassed Simon. To avoid the embarrassment he revealed, he tried to change the subject. "Alice? Is she very good with you?"
"Well, because...... I, like you, was picked up by Alice. I was very badly injured......" Sylvie's voice was a little hesitant, as if remembering something unpleasant.
Simon asked curiously, "Could it be that Alice always picks people up?" ”
Sylvie was stunned, but she quickly understood what Simon meant. "No, of course not. You are the second. ”
"And when were you picked up? Come, don't stand there, come and sit! Simon had no reason to let a girl stand and sit by herself, seeing that Sylvie was still a little hesitant, he smiled and said: "I have the same status as you, and I am not a guest, don't treat me like a guest." ”
This sentence dispelled Sylvie's concerns. She moved lightly to Alice's bedside and sat down carefully across from Simon. "Is there something you'd like to ask me?"
Simon's upper body leaned slightly towards Sylvie. "When did you get picked up by Alice? How long have you been here? ”
Sylvie lowered her head and replied slowly, "It was three years ago. If Alice hadn't happened to be passing by the Burning Plains, I'm afraid I would have died. Her hand subconsciously touched her face. However, even if I picked up a life, my face was irretrievable. It's become like this...... Even if I survive, no place will want me. So Alice begged the butler to let me stay as a maid, so that I could have a place to stay. ”
"Don't you have any relatives?" Simon asked a little strangely, "No matter what you look like, your family will never dislike you, right?" ”
Sylvie's silence made Simon feel as if he had said the wrong thing again, but he didn't know what to say to make up for it, so he had to let the silence spread.
"I don't have any relatives." Sylvie finally spoke, the smile on her lips helpless and bitter. "No ......"
Simon slapped himself in his heart - why can't he open a pot and mention it?
He pretended to be casual and said, "What are you looking for Alice?" She went out. ”
"It's nothing...... Sylvie bowed her head. Because these two days are the days of your visit, I ...... I was just a little nervous, so I wanted to come and talk to her. ”
"Oh." How could Simon say that he had Alice away. And he doesn't know when Alice will return. So, he said, "Why don't I go with you to find her?" You know, I'm not familiar with this place, and I'll be relieved to have you with me. ”
Sylvie pursed her lips and smiled, "As far as you are concerned, as long as you don't break into Lord Medivan's bedroom, it doesn't matter anywhere. ”
"Haha...... Is it? Simon smiled cooperatively. But Sylvie, you're mistaken, I'm just a mage apprentice, and I'm an uninvited guest who wasn't on the guest list. ”
"But you're an elf." Sylvie corrected, "Even if you're only an apprentice now, the High Elf's status is enough to make your journey in Karazhan unhindered. ”
"Really?" In that case, wouldn't it be convenient to act in Karazhan on your own. But...... Simon noticed that Sylvie's guest was visiting these two days, but who else could be called a guest besides Ryan? Simon's eyes rolled, intending to use this talkative little girl as a breakthrough. "But I'm curious about who you're talking about?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Minethil of Lordaeron."
