There are a lot of problems in the world that can't be solved by fighting and killing, such as a gun full of ammunition that can't make you a choice of what to eat at night, or how you can't get a rebellious little girl to hurry home, and when these two problems come together, it can become a significant problem.

In the street restaurants, Lorenzo looked at the glass covered with water droplets due to the heat, and the pedestrians on the road walked in the fog like a lonely boat sneaking in a sea of white fog, and the street lamps were lit up one by one, and the fog was blurred like tiny stars one after another.

"I guess they're looking for you all over the world. ”

Lorenzo turned his gaze and looked at the girl opposite, obviously she was going to become the so-called duchess in a month, but she didn't look like an adult at all, she was very willful.

But if it is easy to solve the problem of simple willfulness, but when the child is gifted and passed on by someone, it all becomes very complicated.

"I have an unspoken understanding with Yawei that if he can't find me, he'll give up, and I'll go home safely before midnight, like an unwritten rule. ”

"Looks like Yawei is being tortured by you, too. ”

"It's just a mutual compromise. ”

Seleuc cut open the food with a knife and put it in his mouth, looking a little clumsy, as if he was not used to it.

A few years ago, this Seleuc did not have the life he has now, there is nowhere to go in the cold night, hiding in the corner of the street to eat frozen bread, even if he meets Lorenzo, it has become a flight all the way, eating something that can barely be considered hot, the changes in the past few years are simply dreamlike, even now when I think back on it, it will feel like a dream.

Lorenzo held her chin and relaxed, Seleuc's cold face had always been her best disguise, and sometimes even Lorenzo couldn't guess what she was thinking.

"Are you still used to life?"

"Reluctantly, people always have to adapt to the living environment, don't they?"

"You're too much, a barely duchess?"

Lorenzo glanced at Seleuc, this girl is afraid that her life is not bored by the impact of wealth, but also, only when the lavish banquet is tired of it, will she be interested in those strange things from the Far East.

"You taught me to remember what I used to be. ”

Seleuc didn't even bother to look at Lorenzo, or maybe her indifferent nature made her unresponsive.

"It's all like an illusion, and it's not as good as an ugly duckling turning into a phoenix. ”

The knife was cut, and the food on the plate was eaten clean by her, and she sat up straight in the chair with a cold temperament.

"Old Dunling, the beginning of a new life, if there really is a new life, you won't be a detective, will you?"

"It's my lifelong dream, Seleuc. ”

Lorenzo fought back, he was very persistent in the profession of detective.

"A detective with a gun, in essence, is still a day of fighting and killing, just using the so-called detective as a disguise, we are very similar, Lorenzo, we will not believe in the existing situation, we can only believe in ourselves, even the new life is just a beast resting and grinding its teeth, because he knows very well that such a life is only a short dream. ”

Lorenzo's face was reflected in the deep blue sea, a little angry and abrupt, like a dead person drowning under the ice sea.

Lorenzo shuddered slightly, then raised his index finger and shook it vigorously.

"No, no, no, Seleuc, you're spying on me again, you're going to have no friends like this. ”

This damn girl, she is like a magic, no one can hide from that look, if there is talent, then this word must belong to Seleuc.

Seleuc didn't say much, just looked away and looked out of the hazy window, where the water droplets condensed into large chunks on the glass and slipped down closely, cutting the entire mirror surface one by one, with light passing through, looking psychedelic.

This calm lasted for a long time, and Lorenzo asked suddenly.

"Then why do you think this is just a dream, Seleuc, you will become the Duchess of Stuart in a month, and the whole old Dunling will celebrate for you, and the nobles of the Stuart community will become your knights, and even in a few years you will become the most powerful person in the old Dunling. ”

"You're no longer the kid shivering on the street corner, and you're not going to be anymore, so what are you afraid of?"

They were similar people, with similar troubles and confusions, which may be why Lorenzo pulled up the Seleucus in that alley, just as he had given to the orphans.

"And what are you afraid of?"

Instead of answering Lorenzo's words, Seleucus repeated the question in his own way, but Lorenzo did not answer.

She stood up, the corners of her mouth barely lifted on her expressionless face, and raised a faint arc.

"Happy tonight, see you next time. ”

Lorenzo raised his eyebrows slightly, to be honest, it is difficult to feel the change of mood from Seleu's little face, sometimes Lorenzo will feel if she is paralyzed.

The conversation just now was as if it didn't exist, and the two people who were similar had a tacit understanding to forget about the unpleasantness, Lorenzo asked.

"I'll send you back. ”

"No, Yawei is here. ”

Seleucus pointed to the doorway, where the bell had just rang, and the old butler stood like a lion, old but with his broad body still blocking the entrance, and looking at the bulge on the black robe, Lorenzo guessed that it was a gun.

"That'...... Good bye. ”

Lorenzo waved at Seleuc, but his eyes had to fall on Yawei, the old butler had been staring at him since he had entered, and the resentment and hostility were about to solidify.

Lorenzo even thought that maybe when Seleu went out, there would be a barrage here, so that he could stay here forever as an annoying fellow.

Fortunately, none of this happened until the black limousine left.

Seleucus nestled in the back seat, the scenery outside the window slowly changing, Yahweh was so tall that he had to hunch up and curl up in the car.

"Hmm...... Don't you like banquets?"

Yawei waited for a long time, and the old voice asked.

"No, I just want to go to that show today. ”

Seleuc tilted his head slightly and leaned against Yahweh's side, the water droplets on the window being pulled into threads that spread out of Seleu's sight.

"Please let me know if you need anything. ”

"You're good enough, Yahweh. ”

Seleuc shook his head, and when he thought about it, everything was fine.

When she first became Stuart's child, Seleu was actually scared, and she didn't know what she was afraid of, like a panicked fawn rushing around, and she caused a lot of trouble for Yahweh at that time, because living in that cold corner, Seleuc was more able to survive than he thought.

Yahweh looked for her for a long time that night, and finally saw the child sleeping on the straw in the stable, and Yahweh told her that if she was not used to it, all this could be changed, and then the old butler prepared blankets and pillows in all the places where Seleu had taken refuge.

At that time, Seleu felt that the old butler was not really bad, but the way he expressed it was a little clumsy, like threatening Lorenzo with a gun all day long.

That could be the beginning of her compromise on everything.
