"Miss Wood." The man's tall body was slightly bent, with gentle fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and he gently stroked the head of the child, who had just lost his mother and looked at him with a confused expression, and said softly, "Mrs. White is a great lady, she just has a more important mission, so she is leaving for the time being." ”

"What about my father?" The little girl asked.

"Your father—" the man paused, "he still has his business to attend to, a lot of things. ”

"So, Miss Wood, please grow well." The man looked at her with hope in his eyes, "And come back, like your mother, bravely take responsibility and do what you are supposed to do as a Wood." ”

"I'll be waiting for you."

A few years did not seem to change the man's appearance, but the tiredness in his eyes was palpable. The original words still echoed in his ears, but his attitude seemed to change even more.

An Ning Ning looked at the indifferent man in front of him, and only felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he continued to instruct coldly.

“…… I've heard that you were elected to a church college. It's just that there are a lot of young people there, and I hope that if you are asked about your last name while you are studying there, Miss Wood, please deny your relationship with the Wood family. ”

"Why? Is it because someone is going to be bad for the Wood family? ”

"No, you don't have to worry about that. It's just that. A hint of warmth flashed in his indifferent eyes, "The Wood family already has a more suitable young lady, and the Wood family is once the number one magic family. ”

"Your Excellency Wood doesn't want to admit you, so just continue to register your name at my sister's house as you did this time, I'm sure she won't mind."

She frowned all the time, and finally couldn't help it when she heard this, "Did I do something wrong?" Mr. Wilson? ”

The man politely smiled back, "No, why do you think that?" ”

"I remember when I was a kid you told me—"

"That's all in the past." Wilson interrupted, "There's only one young lady in the Wood family, and she's Lillian Wood. His Excellency Wood and I are looking forward to the future of her greatness. ”

"Oh, it's abandoning me." "It's just that I don't understand why Mr. Wilson came to tell me," she said slowly. I mean—if anyone in the academy questions my relationship with the Wood family in the future, you just don't admit it, and I'm going to be the one who suffers anyway. ”

Wilson was stunned for a moment, his face showing a little confusion and hesitation, and it took him a long time before he whispered, "Actually, this time Lord Wood and I were originally murderous—thinking that you shouldn't exist in this world, Miss. However, on the way here, for some reason, I still couldn't make up my mind. ”

"It shouldn't be like this." He muttered, a little dazed.

An Ning Ning looked at him like this in silence, only to feel that there was something she didn't know that made her faintly frightened.

……

"Hey." Alex looked at the girl who was holding a large glass of rye beer and didn't know what she was thinking in the distance, and said hello softly.

"Oh, Ally." The girl turned her head, her eyes were slightly drunk and confused, and when she saw that it was him, she showed a big smile, "Did they find out that I wasn't there and let you come to me?" ”

No, he was the one who found out she wasn't there.

Alexton paused, but said yes.

"Come, sit down, Ally." Her eyes sparkled.

He sat beside her, silent, and she continued to gulp down her beer, then burped contentedly.

"Are you—what's upset about you?" He asked, hesitantly.

"Not happy? No, no, I just think it's bothering me more - something I thought I was going to do, and now I'm suddenly told not to do it. She muttered, "It's weird." ”

"It's really weird." She emphasized it a second time.

"You're drunk." Alex said, trying to help her back, "Your cousin will be worried if you do." ”

"Cousin? David? No, he's not my cousin, and I don't have any relatives. Alex was stunned by her words, and he didn't pay attention to one of his hands, and the girl fell directly into his arms with a weak foot. His body stiffened, and the roots of his ears were slightly red, and he tried to carefully straighten the girl, but the girl suddenly put her hand on his chest and pressed it down.

He was in a hurry, and before he could stop it, he heard her laugh stupidly, with a little smugness.

"Oh, Ally, you can't beat me."

“……”

He tried his best not to feel the softness of the girl, his eyes looked at the top of her plush head with a stiff look, and he heard his restrained and calm voice sound, "Wood, it's time for you to get up." ”

Perhaps it was this rusty voice that woke the girl up a little, and she looked up at the beautiful face that was out of gender, and pouted a little unhappily, "Well, Kent, I know you're jealous of me, I don't care. ”

“…… Let's go back. ”

"Nope! I'm going to sit a little longer! She frowned and grumbled, then sat down again stubbornly, "I've never been so far away. ”

The girl's strength was terrifying, and Alex, who was privately labeled a "weak chicken" by Annie, really couldn't do anything about her for a while, thinking that those people were still drinking in the tavern, so he had to sit next to her.

After a long time, he asked softly, "You just said - you have no relatives, what's the matter?" After asking, he regretted it for a second. Because he suddenly realized that he had never been curious about her affairs, afraid that the other party would notice something, although he didn't know what it was, but he still quickly added, "If you don't think it's appropriate, you don't have to tell me." ”

"Nothing out of place." She muttered, "My mother has died, and my father has another daughter, and even wants to kill me—oh, I'm such a pathetic little that I have no relatives." ”

Hearing the latter words, Alex, who was still heavy-faced, couldn't help but laugh briskly, he rubbed her head, "You're not a little pitiful, you're better than anyone else." ”

"Really?" She looked at her hands, "Am I that good?" ”

"Well, it's nothing without relatives. Just like me, my parents died young, but I'm still doing well. ”

"Oh, Ally." The girl's gray eyes showed obvious sadness.

Alex looked at the girl who had not concealed her emotions after being drunk, and smiled again, he looked at the silent surroundings, gesturing in his hands, purple light flashed, and what appeared in his hand again was a flower, exactly the same as the last time she picked it on Knight's Day.

"It's—" Her eyes widened.

"This flower should be given to you, my lady." Alex said softly. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Fast Wear, No Tranquility Claw Book House" for the first time.
