47 The little girl by the bedside
"Whew...... Ha! β
Naked/naked/stepping into the bathtub, Malone lay back comfortably, a sensation called soothing escaping from every inch of pores, escaping in the warm water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The long-lost bath made Malone forget that not long ago he had complained about how troublesome it was to heat the bath water with red-hot stones, and he even felt that it was worth it to do it all over again.
There was a new-looking towel by the bathtub, which Malone guessed was something Vera had prepared for herself.
Speaking of Vera, Malone also figured out why she ran away before when she had just taken off her pants - because she was undressed and kept naked/naked/topless.
"You still have to pay attention to it in the future, it's better to do less of this kind of thing bare-chested."
Marlon muttered to himself as he began to clean up his body that had not been wet for an unknown number of days.
It wasn't until the two baths were blackened that Malone reluctantly got up from the water and began to clean up the messy bathroom.
Although I still want to continue soaking, it's not too early...... The water in the tank has been used up by Marlon.
Putting the stones back into the iron basket behind the fireplace, Malone looked at his dirty trousers and began to worry.
To be sure, Malone really didn't want to wear these pants - because he could smell a bad smell even from such a distance.
But...... If you go upstairs wearing only the underwear/panties inside, in case you are seen by Vera again...... Will it be regarded as a pervert/pervert?
-- Malone still cares a lot about his reputation.
In the end, Malone decided to just go upstairs - Vera must have fallen asleep anyway.
When passing by the living room with his pants and towel, Malone glanced at the fireplace that was still burning, then at the pants in his hand, and then threw it into the fireplace without hesitation.
With a "snort", the linen sewn trousers soon began to burn, and Marlon breathed a sigh of relief and walked away - from today on, say goodbye to that dirty self! Of course, hopefully the town will still find the rest of the residents' clothes......
As he passed the stairs, Malone heard a "click" sound coming from the door; He froze for a moment, then thought of something, and walked over to open the door that had been latched by Vera.
"Whew!"
With a low roar, Rubeus slipped through the crack in the door, pestering his master and beginning to laugh.
"Alright, don't make a fuss, Rubos, go to bed! Remember, tomorrow morning, don't scare Vera and Maria out of nowhere, understand? β
Marlon touched Rubos's head and neck as if he were a pet ownerβin fact, he wasβand then directed him to run to the middle of the living room.
"Woo......"
Roubles ran to the middle of the living room and lay down, glanced at Malone reluctantly, then curled up and closed his eyes.
"This guy is getting more and more like a dog......"
While complaining, Malone covered his lower body with a towel, and ran up the stairs and rushed into his room with a very obscene/trivial movement.
Thankfully, the doors of Vera and Maria's room were closed, and Marlon did not meet the young widow at night - or rather, naked.
"Sleep, there's a lot going on tomorrow......"
Malone kicked off his boots, moved his armor to the floor next to the bed, thought about it, folded the two pillows on top of each other, and then lay down, slowly closing his eyes.
β¦β¦
"Squeak!"
I don't know how long it took for Malone to wake up from his deep sleep - because he heard the sound of the door being slammed.
Opening his eyes and sitting up quickly, Malone looked in the direction of the bedroom door.
The surrounding light was still dim and tinged with a faint blue tinge, indicating that it was still night; Under the light of the double moon, Ma Long vaguely saw that at the door of the bedroom, there was a ...... Girl?
"Maria? Why are you here? β
Malone asked in surprise.
"Huh? Who are you? β
There was a wariness in Maria's voice, as if she was going to shout out to her mother in the next moment.
"It's me, Sir Lothar, master of Ruboth...... Come to bed, Mary, don't catch a cold! β
Marlon explained his identity, and then suddenly felt that what he had just said was a little ...... Lewd/trivial.
However, Marlon was really worried about Maria, because he found that the little girl was not wearing shoes.
"Sir Lothar...... Oh......"
Maria seemed to hear Marlon's voice, and without hesitation, she trotted to Marlon's bedside, climbed up hand and foot, and then squatted on the bed and stared at Marlon.
"Mary, why don't you sleep? What about your mother? β
Marlon sat up and asked Mary suspiciously.
"I woke up...... Mommy is still sleeping, shh......h Let's not wake her up. β
The little girl said to Malone seriously.
"Oh, okay...... But Mary, why don't you go back to sleep? β
After being lectured by Maria, Marlon hurriedly lowered his voice.
"I can't sleep!"
Although he couldn't see Maria's expression clearly, Malone could clearly hear the distress in the little girl's voice.
"Can't sleep? Why? β
Malone asked a very boring question.
"I miss my dad!"
Mary replied in a low voice.
Marlon was stunned for a moment, trying to say something, but remained silent - Maria's father, Vera's husband, had died in Stormwind during the orc invasion.
Although Malone did not know how the orphan and widow escaped and encountered the refugee team led by Elo Eberlock, he knew that it must have been difficult.
Mary, who is just over six years old today, has befallen such a thing; If it weren't for the orc invasion, she would be happy now, right? There's a good mom like Vera, and ......
Thinking of this, Malone sighed, stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's soft and smooth short hair - thinking of Maria's words just now, Malone had to admit that this little girl was indeed very well-behaved and sensible.
Despite the terrible fear in her heart, and the nightmare that she would wake up, Mary did not burden her mother; Not long ago, she didn't forget to remind Malone not to wake up Vera who was asleep......
For such a sensible little girl, the fate imposed on her was too heavy......
"I used to be unable to sleep when I couldn't sleep...... Mom and Dad would tell me stories. But now that my mom is asleep, she's so tired that I don't want to wake her...... Sir Lothar, do you tell stories? β
Maria asked softly in a hopeful tone as Marlon obediently let Marlon caress the top of her head.
