16 Goodbye

To everyone's surprise, at noon, the guards approached Count Akayi and asked him to go to the consul's mansion to discuss important matters, and everyone could predict the contents of the matter, and everyone was ready to make their final plans.

"I'll use teleportation magic to bring Ling Ai to safety." Wind Chimes said.

"You can use teleportation magic alone?" The Countess and Counts raised a question together, which of course they had become accustomed to.

Erin, who had already woken up, told her parents not to worry, and changed into a casual dress of the exact same style as before, but the color was changed to black, and the family crest that was originally embroidered on the clothes was removed - politically speaking, she had left the Akayi family, and it is believed that the family would soon issue a statement to disown her.

"I'm going to see the Archon, and you should be careful, maybe this house is under surveillance." After the Earl finished his instructions, he hugged Erin, "Son, I have been in the army for too long to even know how to say a final goodbye...... As a daughter of the Akayi family, you are our pride! So when you say goodbye, don't cry. Erin nodded vigorously in response to her adoptive father's encouragement.

The moment the Count left the residence, Erin was still in tears.

"Come, daughter," said the countess, taking out the baggage she had prepared, "and there are clothes and money in it, enough for you to use for a while." In the new environment, you have to adapt as hard as you used to, get along well with the people around you, and remember that ......" The Countess didn't hold on and began to sob.

Erin hugged her mother, she didn't dare to cry loudly, afraid that someone outside was watching or eavesdropping.

"Child," whispered the countess, "do not be afraid, do not be sad. Time will ease all this, and when you finally feel soothed, don't forget that we still love you. ”

Erin understands that her adoptive parents' love for her is sincere and eternal, and if life could be repeated a thousand times, she would still choose to be the adopted daughter of the Akayi family, which is destined to be unique.

……

When the time to leave is up, the risk will be greater if the time is delayed for a minute. Wind Chimes, who had been silently watching, signaled that it was time for Erin to go, and asked her to go to the bedroom on the second floor to wait first. Reluctantly, Erin let go of her mother's hand and quickly turned and went upstairs—she didn't want her mother to see her cry again.

"Please." The Countess said to the wind chimes.

Unlike before, the wind chime did not salute or respond, she went straight to the door of the bedroom on the second floor, turned around, and looked meaningfully into the eyes of the countess—she knew that the poor woman did not dare to go upstairs. The Countess gave Irene countless comforts and encouragements, but at the last moment, family affection still prevented them from facing the pain of parting.

After bowing, the wind chimes walked into the bedroom and closed the door. The Countess slumped in her chair and wept.

A faint white light peeked through the crack in the bedroom door and quickly faded away.

When the Countess was finally able to support herself and hold on to the handrail to the stairs, she opened the door to the bedroom with a trembling hand—it was empty. At this moment, for Erin and her parents, this is the warmest place in the world, but also the saddest.

On the other side of the Archon's residence, the Archon showed Count Akay a briefing from Anseson City and a joint letter sufficient to punish Erin, and the Count did not show surprise or sadness, and calmly assured the Archon and the other nobles who were listening that his family would completely disown the adopted daughter, and swore to remain loyal to the Empire in an effort to get rid of the negative effects of this incident. The consul and the people also understood the pain of Count Akayi, especially the fact that his adopted daughter and Sevia were still married, so they did not say anything more, and ordered the clerks and painters to make wanted notices and put them on the bulletin boards in the city.

When Count Akayi returned to the house, he noticed that several agents were secretly monitoring his house, but he ignored it, and when he entered the house, he saw the lady with a look in his eyes, and he knew that Irene had left safely.

Without a smile of satisfaction, without a smug smile, the Count and the Lady sat down silently, and looked together at the wall of the drawing-room, where hung all the glory of the family, including the medal of the beauty contest that Irene had won for her, which had been awarded to her by the Emperor himself.

"Take it off," said the Count, "and it is time to say goodbye." ”

……

After the white light passed, Erin opened her eyes, she was used to teleportation magic, but soon, another white light came into view.

"That's ...... Snow Mountains? We're in ——? Erin asked the wind chime beside her, confused.

"There," said the wind chime, pointing in the other direction, "you'll be safe when you get there." ”

Following the direction of the wind chimes, Erin saw a bustling town with a highland fort field next to it. It wasn't close, but Erin could clearly see the crowd of people in the town, and hear the cries and shouts of the cries and shouts—it was more of a large and lively market than a town.

"Let's go," the wind chimes said, heading toward town, "catch up, and change into warm clothes if it's cold." ”

……

"Welcome to Windwalk."

On the afternoon of September 25, 1805, Erin Akayi fled to the town of Windwalk.

In early autumn, the market of Fengxing Town is hot, the merchants come and go, the caravans are scattered by the crowd, the dazzling array of goods and goods, the vendor stalls in the streets and alleys, the smell of rice in the air, and the town guards patrolling in groups...... Erin had heard the news of Windrun Town, but seeing it for the first time made her feel inexplicably fresh and curious.

Walking through the path between the markets, the wind chimes took Erin straight to the Highland Fort field, and there was a lot of traffic along the way, and Erin also saw a lot of goods and goods that she had never seen in the Split Empire, but she followed the footsteps of the wind chimes, and she could only look at them like flowers, and she didn't have time to enjoy this visual feast with all her needs.

There are also many passers-by who are attracted by these two lovely-looking girls, and the suave men have cast warm eyes, but one of these two people is wearing a black robe with a cold face, and the other is wearing a black casual dress with a sad face, and the delicate but serious face with the cold tone of the clothes gives people a feeling of kaolin flowers, beautiful but unapproachable.

Passing through the town, they finally came to the drawbridge at the main entrance of the fort, where the guards who stood guard greeted them very gentlemanly when they saw two beautiful girls coming to visit. Wind Chimes wants the guards to inform the town lord of her arrival, and the guards happily run to the fortress to do so.

"Watch your baggage, although the security here seems to be very good, but you still have to be careful in case." The guard kindly reminded Erin that a simple sentence made the newcomer feel a little warm in this cold northern town.

"Quick, let them in." Viscount Li trotted out of the fortress and shouted to the guards at the gate, who also made a "please" gesture and let the two girls enter the fort.

"It's a pleasure to see you sooner, Viscount." Wind chimes salute and greet the viscount.

"Windwalk will always welcome you, Wind Chime, without you there would be no Windwalk Town today." The Viscount also responded politely, and he quickly noticed that there was another person behind the wind chime. "Welcome to Windwalk, I'm the lord here, Viscount Li, and it's a pleasure to meet you...... I think you must be a nobleman, and you exude a temperament that ordinary people can't learn. ”

The Viscount's speculation was correct, and Erin saluted after hearing this, "It's an honor to meet the town lord, my name is Erin Akayi, I just set foot here, and it's really a lively and wealthy town. Erin's tone was flat, her face was cold, and she said these seemingly polite words mechanically, but some of them were heartfelt.

"Erin is my friend," Wind Chime explained, "she's framed by design, and is wanted by the Spreet Empire, and I think she'll be safe here, I've heard that Windwalk has become independent from the Empire and is not subject to Imperial law." ”

"Oh, no problem," Viscount Li readily agreed, "Miss Akayi, the friends of the wind chimes are friends of Windwalk, and you will be safe here." Let's go in and say, it's too cold outside, don't let our beautiful girls freeze. ”

The two of them were led by the viscount to the fortress, one of the servants beside him offered to help Irene carry the baggage, and the other servant ran to the town, as if to find someone. Erin also noticed that the Viscount's right sleeve was hanging down when he walked, and understood that the Viscount's right arm had been amputated.

The group entered the council chamber of the fortress, and the viscount entertained them warmly. "Miss Akayi, if I'm not mistaken, you wouldn't be the winner of the civilian-military beauty pageant two years ago, would you?" The Viscount asked with a smile.

"It's her." Wind Chimes helped Erin answer.

"It's an honor to meet you!" The viscount said happily.

Erin didn't want to respond to this topic, she thanked the wind chime in her heart for blocking these meaningless polite words for her, but she didn't misunderstand the care of the viscount and the others.

"If Miss Akayi doesn't mind, she can stay here forever." The Viscount said, "If the Empire comes looking for trouble, we'll take care of it." Go back and let my eyes in the empire go to find out the news and see if I can find a solution to your matter. Oh yes, I don't know what kind of framing and wrongs Miss Akayi has suffered, can you tell us about it? We're here to help. ”

"Someone framed her, saying that she had something to do with the assassination of Duke Ryson." Wind Chime replied.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the chamber changed.

"Duke Resson? He...... He's dead? The viscount shouted, and he was so dumbfounded that he couldn't even speak.

"Risen is dead?!" Same content, but the sound came from the door of the council chamber, and the people in the room looked towards the door—

Night Sparrow and Snow Dog stood at the door of the council chamber, and Melo Entekoman.
