"Okay, I'll give it a try." Aunt Maggie couldn't bear to see Ji Ran so sad, so she had to reluctantly agree.

"Thank you, Auntie, I will never forget Auntie's great kindness." Ji Ran said gratefully.

"Miss, don't be so polite, in fact, I really don't want to lie in this troubled water, but I was moved by your true feelings, so if I don't help you, I will not be able to do it, I'll try it." After Aunt Maggie finished speaking, she left the room with the dishes and chopsticks.

After Aunt Maggie left, the guards locked the heavy iron door again.

At noon, the sun rose in mid-air, and the bright sunlight warmed the room.

Occasionally, butterflies will fly to the window and stop by the pot planted by Aunt Maggie, their beautiful wings, which radiate their own brilliance in the sun, are dreamily beautiful.

Ji Ran looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, but his mood was very complicated, how good would it be if he could live in seclusion in such a paradise with Mordrac?

Ji Ran has never been a material girl, she has never coveted other people's wealth and power, she just hopes that she can be simply with her beloved, as long as the two of them can get along day and night, it is enough.

It's a pity that this seemingly simple wish is so difficult to realize.

"Click! ~" Suddenly there was the sound of the wire being opened.

Immediately after, the heavy iron door was opened.

Aunt Maggie came in with lunch.

She entered the room with her front feet, and the door was closed with her back feet, followed by the sound of the iron ropes being locked again.

"Miss, it's time for lunch." Aunt Maggie carefully arranged the meal, and then fetched clear water for Ji Ran to wash her hands.

Lunch was plentiful with delicious tender steaks that seemed to be five ripe small Q steaks.

Since the cattle here do not eat feed, they are all raised in the natural environment and eat grass, so the beef maintains a natural and pure taste.

In addition, it is a calf that is two or three years old, so the beef will be more tender.

On the iron plate of 500 degrees, as long as it is heated slightly, you can eat it.

The five ripe steaks actually taste the best, yellow on the outside, very crispy, and red on the inside, like the filling of red bean paste mooncakes, delicious and juicy, absolutely a rare enjoyment.

The smooth steak is paired with fresh wine, and the taste will be upgraded by several notches.

After lunch, Ji Ran couldn't wait to ask about Modreque.

Maggie looked outside cautiously to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then said cautiously, "They won't let me inquire, and I don't dare to ask more, but, it seems that I heard that yesterday, Lord Taylor had already left with a few prisoners, it seems that he went to a far place, and as for the few prisoners he took away, I'm not sure if it's the one you're looking for?" ”

Hearing Maggie's words, Ji Ran's heart suddenly hung in the air, "What? Taken away? Where did it go? ”

Ji Ran was in a hurry because he was in a good mood, so his voice couldn't help but raise a few decibels.

Maggie was startled and quickly covered Ji Ran's mouth.

"Miss, don't shout, if someone knows about it, I will be miserable." Maggie said nervously, not forgetting to glance nervously at the door.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Maggie, but I'm really worried that if Taylor takes Mordrak to Creya, he'll be in danger and Crea will kill him." Ji Ran said anxiously, tears flowing.

This is by no means a hypocritical tear, but really worried, so anxious, Mordrak really could die.

"Miss, don't be in such a hurry, I've just heard, but who can guarantee that those prisoners must be Mordrake? Maybe someone else? Aunt Maggie kindly reassured.

"Aunt Maggie, please, can you help me inquire again? Help me ask, is it Mordrake? Ji Ran said anxiously, and actually knelt down for Aunt McGee.

Maggie hurriedly helped Ji Ran up, "Miss, don't be like this, I promise you, I'll help you ask again, don't be so anxious, God will bless you." ”

After Ji Ran thanked him gratefully, his heart suddenly hung up.

She knew the value of Modrak, and at this time, if anyone could send Modlek to Creya, they would definitely get a large reward, and would Taylor Scott be able to resist this temptation?

In the evening, Maggie arrives again, bringing a sumptuous dinner.

Lychee nectar and butter cake with yogurt and a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice.

This apple juice is not juiced from rotten fruits, it is all fresh fruit picked from the tree, the fruit that falls on the ground, and the rotten fruit is used to make fruit wine for ordinary people, so that the nobles will not eat the kind of food that may be harmful to the human body.

The freshly squeezed juice also seems to have nectar added to it, otherwise it wouldn't taste so sweet.

After dinner, Ji Ran sat by the window, looking at the sun gradually setting on the western horizon.

To the west is the territory of Lacasia, separated only by the Teoul River, and at its widest point it is only a few hundred meters, and at its narrowest point, it is not even two hundred meters.

However, it was such a narrow river that actually prevented Mordrake from returning home.

"Mordrac, my husband, I hope you're okay, the heavens will bless you." Ji Ran clasped his hands together and prayed silently in front of the window.

Although I don't know if there are really gods in the sky, when I am helpless and desperate, I always hope that a miracle will happen.

In the days that followed, every time Aunt McGee came to deliver food, Ji Ran would ask for news about Modrak.

However, Aunt Maggie always promised to help with the inquiry, however, she always failed to make an appointment without any surprise.

Later, Ji Ran gradually understood that Aunt McGie actually didn't ask Ben, and the reason why she kept promising herself was actually just to give herself a hope, and wanted to make herself strong for this illusory hope.

In the evening, the sun set over the horizon and the sky fell into darkness.

Ji Ran blew out the candle and sat quietly in the small dark room alone.

She looked at the night sky alone, but her heart sank to the bottom of the lake.

Cold, desperate and helpless, it stimulates every cell in the body.

Two lines of silent tears slid down his face, pooled to his chin, and dripped down to his toes.

She didn't know how long she would continue to endure this despair and pain, and sometimes it felt as if her life had lost its meaning.

What is the point of life if it is a person struggling in loneliness and despair, never seeing hope?
