Part 3 Lost Sadness 4 A year later, they can see each other every day

4 After a year, they were able to see each other every day

"I've long since forgotten what my original name was."

"Wind chimes...... Wind chimes? The nun's cry was repeated several times, and the girl finally came to her, but with a stinking face, as if the nun owed her money.

"What's wrong, kid? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? The nun asked with concern.

The girl muttered angrily, "Mama, my name is not 'Wind Chime', my name is-"

"Actually, you like the name, don't you?" The nun gently interrupted the girl, smiling as she had seen through the mystery.

"Humph!" The girl pouted, threw her head to the side, and looked at the lily bushes in the distance.

On March 1, 1234 in the imperial calendar, it has been a year since the princess and the girl met. The girl has grown taller, her personality is in a rebellious period, and she feels inexplicably irritated that the nun always calls herself "wind chimes". But the nun understood that she liked the name very much, but it depended on whose mouth it came from.

"Ah, by the way," the nun continued, not caring that the girl was in a mood, "Princess Lilith is not here this week. ”

The girl's eyes squinted, and then she quickly turned back and whispered angrily, "Hmph, I don't believe it." ”

"The princess won't come next week."

The girl gave the nun a blank look, but not out of disrespect.

"I know that since you met last year, every week the princess has come to play with you, and you have a lot of fun, don't you? If she doesn't come once in a while, you'll lose your temper? The nun continued kindly.

The girl ignored the nun's kindness and said, "If Mama is all right to look for me, then I will go and do the laundry." "These orphans adopted by the church usually help with some chores, and when they become adults, they have the right to choose to stay, and a few lucky children will be adopted by the nobles to start a new life of their own.

"Don't rush. Although the princess will not come next week, someone will be sent from the castle to adopt a child as the princess's companion......" Before the nun could finish speaking, the girl's head immediately turned around, and her face was surprised.

"Mama, who have you decided to let go?" The girl asked excitedly.

"Hehe, we're going to keep it a secret." The nun said with a smile.

"Tell me, the ...... I'll rub the hemp rope and wash the dishes, and I'll warm the bed, pour you tea—anything......" Wind Chime begged, in stark contrast to her rebellious attitude.

The nun put her face to the girl's ear and whispered, "Princess Lilith has chosen it herself—it's you." ”

The girl suddenly covered her mouth with her hands as if she had been electrocuted, breathing quickly and violently, and then putting her hands together in front of her chest, her shoulders rising and falling with her breathing, and her face alternated with excitement and disbelief, and tears flashed in her eyes from time to time.

"Really? Are you sure? ......" The girl's voice trembled, but she kept asking and repeated, pinching her face as if to confirm that it was not a dream.

"Yes, it's true." The nun confirmed to her again in a loving voice.

"Great!" The girl finally cheered, "So that I can see Princess Lilith every day!" ”

"What a kid." The nun shook her head, smiled and muttered to herself. It is a great joy to be adopted by the royal family, but what the girl cares about is her friendship with the princess.

Suddenly, the girl stopped cheering, and her excited expression gradually disappeared, and she said, "Mama, am I going to leave here?" But I can't bear to ......."

"What? Aren't you happy to finally be able to get out of here? The nun asked curiously.

"I ...... I can't bear Mama, I can't bear my companion, I can't bear the blind beggar at the door, I can't give up the two dogs, the three chickens, and the ...... in the backyard," she said, and her tears welled up and threw herself into the nun's arms, and she whimpered.

"Wind chimes, there are too many partings to experience in life, and there are too many people and things that are reluctant, but life is like this, if you can't give up, you can't get it, this is what the God of All Sources teaches us, and eventually we will all return to the source of all things and meet there. Besides, you can come out and meet us during the break. So, don't be sad about it. The nun put her arms around the girl and comforted her earnestly.

The nun's words had a clear effect, and the girl wiped her tears with her hands, squinted her eyes, and grinned, "Woo...... Mama, I see...... I, I'll come to see you, and when I'm gone, I'll go to the source of all things to find Mama and everyone's...... Whining...... And also...... I'm not called 'Wind Chimes', my name is-"

Hey? What was my original name?

On March 8, the maids of Butler Castle came to the cathedral to take the appointed girl to accompany the princess. At the door of the church, the maid saw only a girl wearing a white coarse cloth casual dress of the Wanyuan Sect and carrying a suitcase, and there was no one else around.

"Are you the girl who wants to be a princess's companion?" When the maid saw her, she kindly asked, "What's your name?" ”

Without any hesitation, the girl replied, "Wind chimes." ”

"Wind chimes...... What an interesting name. Do you want to say goodbye to the grandmothers and friends in the church? ”

"No need, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear me, and then everyone will cry."

"Are you going to cry then?"

"I already cried yesterday. I must not cry today, I want to go to Princess Lilith with a smile on my face and wish her a happy birthday! ”

"Good boy, so sensible! Come with me next. ”

The maid led the wind chimes and walked away, and the cathedral was blocked by other houses, leaving only the towering bell tower in view.

The castle is at the other end of Butler City, and is surrounded by a tall wall. When the maid pulled the wind chime and was about to enter the gate of the outer wall of the castle, the wind chime threw a last affectionate look behind her and walked in.

Contrary to what the nun said, it would be five years before the wind chimes stepped out of this door again, and the wind chimes did not see everything she was nostalgic for again.

It is the tradition of the royal family of the Kingdom of Spellet that every prince and princess should go to school when they are seven years old, and choose one of the orphans raised in the church to accompany them. With the royal family leading by example, many nobles followed suit and adopted orphans, and similar good deeds in the kingdom were numerous.

"You're really lucky, Wind Chimes." The maid led the wind chimes into the gate and walked along the path of the palace garden towards the castle, "It is not easy to get the approval of Princess Lilith. By the way, if you want to know etiquette in the castle, do you need me to teach you something? ”

"If you can teach me etiquette, that's my pleasure." Wind Chime said respectfully.

"Gee, looks like you've practiced before." The maid immediately saw that the wind chimes had long known how to talk politely with people, and of course there was no need to emphasize the matter of salute.

The palace garden is very large, and it took a long time to reach the castle itself - the castle itself also has a tall and sturdy parapet wall, around the main building, a total of six mausoleums, as if they all have names, showing the majesty and solemnity of the old man.

At the main entrance of the castle, Princess Lilith was already waiting here under the leadership of the princess. When she finally saw the maid arrive with the wind chimes, Lilith couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, let go of her mother's hand, and rushed towards the wind chimes with joy.

Seeing this, the wind chimes also ran towards Lilith, completely ignoring the so-called "etiquette", and the two girls embraced each other like this.

"We can see each other every day, Wind Chimes." Lilith said with a smile.

"Well, it's so happy to see each other every day. Oh yes, Princess, Happy Birthday! Wind Chime was smiling, and she was very happy with the princess.

"Thank you Wind Chimes, I'm 7 years old, it's time to read, you read with me!"

"You two, don't stick to each other just yet." The princess walked over slowly, in fact, she was also very happy, "Lilith, let Sister Fengchi take a bath first, arrange a residence, and then you can play together steadily." ”

"Thank you, Princess, for allowing me to be the princess's companion, I will always remember your kindness, and the God of All Sources will bless you." The wind chime said politely and respectfully, so that the princess and the maids beside her couldn't help but look at this girl with admiration.

"Let the wind chimes live in the room next to my room, I want to be next to her." Lilith said, her voice crisp and delicate.

"Let's go clean up the house." When the maids heard the princess's words, they hurriedly retreated.

"See you in a moment!" Lilith finally let go of the wind chime's hand, and she was reluctant to let go.

"Well, Princess Lilith, see you later."

The maid entered the castle with wind chimes, and at the top of the castle, the "Split Sun Flag" representing the royal family of the Kingdom of Split fluttered.

Lilith Royer, the daughter of King Albert Royer and his youngest child, has been autistic since childhood, does not take the initiative to speak in front of relatives and strangers, and will show nervousness, which makes the princess distressed. Until the encounter with the wind chime, Lilith gradually became cheerful, not only able to communicate with close people, but also no longer resisted when in contact with strangers. The princess cares very much about the role of wind chimes in it, so let the wind chimes become the princess's companion, just like the nun said, "The princess needs a real friend".

After the wind chimes were cleaned, she was arranged to live in a room on the upper floor of the castle, she cleaned up her room, sorted out her daily necessities, and prepared to start a new life.

In the following time, the excited Lilith took the newcomer Wind Chime to familiarize herself with most of the rooms in the castle and their functions, and under the introduction of the princess, the Wind Chime remembered quickly, and she basically remembered the area she could move.

The two girls also spent the first half day together with a smile. Unfortunately, the wind chimes had to eat in the servants' dining room like the maids, and the princess had to dine with the royal family, so the two had to endure this time again.

At night, Lilith would sleep alone in her room, next to the princess's bedroom.

There was a definite time limit in the castle, and Wind Chime had to go back to the house and lie down in bed to get ready to rest, and at this time, she would do some chores in the church. The wind chimes slowly reminisced about the new life of this day, and countless surprises brought her infinite happiness.

"Squeak-ahh

"Princess?" Wind Chime looked at Lilith and immediately got out of bed and came to the princess, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Wind Chime, you come to sleep with me." Lilith whispered, as if she was afraid of being heard by someone outside.

"Well, I'll be here, Princess." Decisive response, without hesitation. Wind Chime didn't think there was anything wrong with the two of them sleeping together, so she packed up her bed and entered her room with the princess.

Lilith's room was larger, with a queen-size bed that could accommodate two people.

"Come on, Wind Chimes!" Lilith jumped on the bed and reached out to pull the wind chimes onto the bed, and the two happy girls lay side by side.

After the wind chimes covered the quilt and made sure that the princess had also covered it together, she said, "Thank you, princess!" I will cherish my life here. ”

Lilith giggled, "Wind chimes!" She whispered, "Kiss me!" ”

Wind Chimes is still a child, and probably knows who this kind of kissing should take place...... It was precisely because she was a child that she didn't have much thought. After a brief silence, the wind chime said "um", brought her lips to the princess's lips, closed her eyes, and the two lips touched......

The relationship between two children will go beyond friendship in the future.

……

"Hmm...... Princess Lilith is the love I've been looking for. ”
