January 1734 in the solar calendar, the Holy Capital, Gilsde, the Guild of Thieves

Rhodes and Natalia don't have much to do with each other, but he also hears that Natalia's family has been blessed by her own family, and it is because of this that she will help her. However, as a descendant of the family, Rhodes did not know the specific reason, and his heart was touched to see Natalia herself, who was the representative of the Thieves' Guild, coming to see him in person.

"Thank you, Natalia-sama. Rod saluted her politely and humbly.

"You don't have to thank me, I think I'm going to say I'm sorry for letting you go through so much suffering here, it's my rereliction of duty. Natalia is also polite, this kind of attitude she usually does not appear "Your family has been looking for it since you came to this continent, and my elders have been looking for it, but you have avoided the church, and even Modrilla has no clue, if you didn't take the initiative to appear in the Adventurer's Guild, I might not be able to find you in my life." ”

At this time, the two of them had already approached the exit of the dungeon by the light of the Rhodes Holy Sword, and the young man saw that the nightingale was so humble to him, and remembered the days when he still had a surname in the past, and his heart overflowed with a sourness, "Lord Natalia, my family is here and I am not willing to accept any help. And I have endured too much of your kindness, first of all you helped me catch this criminal, and secondly you saved my life in Kuruno, you are my benefactor, and you do not owe me anything. In fact, on the contrary, I am afraid that your kindness to me will not be repaid in this life. Rhodes used honorifics throughout the process, which shows his respect for Natalia.

"Don't forget, you saved me at the border of the Holy Capital. Natalia's attitude was still very respectful, "Your family helped us escape the catastrophe of extermination, this kind of kindness, as a descendant, I can't do enough to repay it." ”

"Please don't go on, Natalia-sama, I appreciate your help, and if there is anything you need me in the future, please don't hesitate, it's my only request. Feeling that Natalia did not accept her opinion, Rhodes could only force her final attitude.

"I see. Natalia was also moved by the young man's humble gesture, and she agreed to the request.

"Also, please don't be so respectful to me, I know you're not that character. It's okay to be casual, I'm too young to be treated like this. As he spoke, he put his sword back away, and the two of them strode back to the Thieves' Guild.

"Rod" looked at the humble and decent teenager at this time, and Natalia couldn't help but sigh, "If you wake up earlier, maybe everything will change in Kuruno." ”

"yes. Rhodes thought the same thing, he had assumed it countless times after regaining his memory, but the past could not be changed, he could only accept it.

"He will be relieved to see you today. Natalia touched Rod's head, "Close your eyes, I'm going to take you out of here." ”

"Good. Rod closed his eyes very cooperatively, if they want to go out, if they don't teleport, they must pass through the exit, and that location must not be known to anyone other than the thief, so Rod is blocked from the five senses when he enters and exits.

After a period of darkness, Rhodes opened his eyes again and was already on the street of Gilsde.

"Lord Natalia, if it's convenient, would you like to come and sit at my house for a while?" Miss Blount and his house were not far away.

"Okay, my disciple is harassing your wife, and I'm going to pick her up too. ”

"Saiya?" Rod was shocked, although before

The woman said that she wanted to see Miss Blunt, but she didn't expect her to be so anxious that she even bypassed herself and went directly to visit.

"yes, when is the wedding?" Natalia's behavior today was simply too abnormal, she really cared about Rhodes like an elder.

"Let's wait for these post-war memorial ceremonies to come to an end, because it's not appropriate to hold a wedding at such a time. The couple had already discussed the matter and had agreed to look for an opportunity to hold a wedding a month after all the memorial services.

"Makes sense. Natalia nodded, at this time she was wearing a hood to hide her face, she squinted at the boy, and the purple light in her eyes flashed, "Rod, give you a suggestion." ”

"Please, Natalia-sama. Rod replied respectfully.

"You need to get used to seeing things in the dark. ”

Natalia's words reminded the boy of what had just happened in the dungeon: "What do you mean?"

"You have the dazzling light in your hands, and that's why it's easier to attract deep darkness. Natalia frowned at this, "This is what Palmera asked me to tell you, this is a bit disturbing, I will ask her in detail later." ”

"It's Lady Luck!" Hearing Natalia's explanation, Rod's eyes lit up, "I understand, I'll try to practice." With Farmeira's instructions, I must have been lucky enough. ”

——————

A small room, which Miss Blunt had cleaned up after all these days, was in a sense a little too clean, with its dusty staircase and bright and transparent windows, and it felt like the hostess had done nothing but clean all day.

Anika Blunt was sitting at a table in the living room today, dressed in a clean white gauze dress, with two teacups on the table, one for herself and the other for the guest opposite.

"My name is Saiya, and I'm a friend of Rod and Lot, and I've taken the liberty to disturb you today, Miss Blunt. Saiya said textbook-standard polite words.

Seeing that the other party opened like this, Anika nodded politely, "Hello, Miss Saiya." ”

"Just call me Saiya, I'm not a nobleman, I'm a thief. Nightingale had a faint smile on her face, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, this is not tea, it is white water, "I heard Rod say that you are very diligent in housework, but I didn't expect to be so particular about drinking water." ”

Nightingale spoke coldly and warmly this time, which made Anika's face a little embarrassed, "May I ask Sayah... Are you here for Rod? He's not here. ”

"No, no, no. Saiya waved her hand, "I'm here for you." Suddenly, Saiya slammed the cup on the table, making a big noise.

Anika was startled by the voice, and her hands trembled a little, but her expression quickly regained her composure, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Aren't you going to marry Rod?" Saya put her hand on her face, "I just want to ask, do you love him?"

"Of course," said Blunt, bowing his head, "I... Love him. "The person who is about to get married, as a fiancée, she still dares to admit this fact.

"Love him," Saiya frowned, "then why use him?" Nightingale looked at the woman with a look that wasn't friendly at all.

"Exploit...", Anika repeated

I read the word.

"I'm a woman, I'm still a thief, I can see at a glance your little means. Saiya was staring at Aenica's face at this point.

"Utilizing... I..."Anika is still savoring the word" yes... That's right, you're right, I'm using Rhodes, and Lot, I'm using them. The woman admits that she is very generous.

"It's a pleasure, so tell me why?" Saya asked her further, "Those people won't have any impact on your reputation whether they kill them or not, they can't wash off the dirty places, and most people can't find out about your dirty places, the people in the Holy Capital are very kind, and those who will do business with you and chew the root of their tongues will never come." Even so, you still encourage Rhodes to kill people, in the name of aristocratic dignity, I would like to know, why?"

"No, why... Because of the anger, I finally crawled out and also got a husband with great power, so I wanted them to die. Anika didn't hide a single lie, and told it to Saiya and Pan.

"Then why did you stop Rhodes again?" said Saiya, who was particularly concerned about this, because of Anika's self-contradiction, which made Nightingale interested in her.

"I don't want to put him in danger, the risk of attacking the Governor is too great. ”

"You don't want to lose this backer, do you? You know that it can't go on like this, and at that point, you reminded Rhodes of the fact that he is no longer a nobleman, in fact, you already know all this, right?" Saiya's words were like a dagger, and the words were inserted in Anika's heart.

"Yes. The woman confessed again, "You're right." ”

"Then I'll ask you now, do you love him, or do you just want to use him, use Lot, and make the two boys turn into your flower messengers for you?"

"I love him. Even though she admitted all the conjectures of Saiya before, but only this point, Anika knew very well, "I love him, I love him, I really love him!"

Saiya frowned when she heard this, she didn't speak, waiting for Anika to continue.

"I love him, but I also use him, I use Lott to fulfill my desires, and I don't hesitate to put them in extremely dangerous situations. Anika clenched her hands, her brows furrowed, and she continued, "I am such a woman, and the lowest life has defiled me like this, and every day after this initial emotion disappears, every moment will continue to emerge from my brain. Despicable thoughts, I want to use Rhodes, I want to use everyone, let them protect me, serve me, and then I can get enough money, so much that I don't have to worry about life anymore, I can put out a life of poverty forever, I can use my beauty, my body, I know I'm good at this, I think so all the time, I can't help it!"

Saiya looked at Anika as if she had confessed, and her expression became tangled, "I admire your honesty. ”

Hearing this, Anika sneered, like a woman seeing a poor ghost who couldn't afford to pay.

"I wonder if you're telling me this to pretend to be pitiful and take advantage of me, or if... Want me to save you?" said as Saiya took her hand in his hand.

Being held like this, Anika was shocked, "For Rod, you know what to do with me." Anika closed her eyes and told him that I was gone. ”
