CHAPTER XXIII
Under the bright moonlight, cloudless, an emaciated figure wearing a gray duckbill hat stood in front of a tombstone, crickets chirped around, and a thick fog floated around, which looked eerie and terrifying, but the figure didn't notice it at all, but the handsome face became a little embarrassed, and his mouth kept chattering.
"Oops, oops, really too bad, don't let Harry know." The young man in the cap took the bouquet in his hand and placed it in front of the tombstone, then covered his head and sighed, looking annoyed.
Today, the moon is still so round, and there is no change.
…………………………………………… Dividing line .........................................................
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Festeria, and I want you to help me prepare this." Harry was sitting in a luxurious carriage pulled by three white horses, and Festeria was sitting next to Harry yawning.
"You're really, I woke up early in the morning, and I hadn't slept enough." Festria said resentfully, at this point in time, she should still be lying on the bed to sleep.
"I'm sorry." Harry lowered his head embarrassedly, after all, it was his fault, but he really missed his mother too much, it was like going back to visit his mother last night, but he was rejected by Festeria, she said that it was so late, her mother should also go to bed, do you want to disturb her mother's dreams.
Well, hearing her say that, Harry finally chose to go tomorrow, but Miss Festeria agreed to take her with her tomorrow, and Harry had to sleep here.
Waiting until tomorrow, the morning light from the window entered Harry's room, and the walls and bed were dyed with a beautiful pale gold, and Harry woke up at this time, and the first thing he remembered was to go back to see his mother, so he put on the new clothes on the table, and went out to find Festria's room.
Miss Festeria had said before she left last night that if she wanted to find her, she lived in the innermost room on the right side of the corridor, but there were many roads in this corridor, and I had to go that way, and Harry had just taken a few steps to the right before he stopped, and looked at the many roads that stretched out in front of him with a look of embarrassment, and he couldn't tell which side was the innermost room on the right.
Helpless, Harry could only grope his way alone, hoping to find Festria's room, but the god of luck did not favor Harry this time, Harry became more and more confused, and in the end he couldn't even find his way back, he was completely lost, Harry could only sigh, this place is really big.
Harry came to a place similar to a dining room, a slender rectangular table was placed in the center, a white cloth was spread on the table, there were several small vases with flowers on the table, and several delicate wooden chairs were placed around the table, and the pale golden sunlight shone through the large windows built into the floor, beautiful and quiet, fresh and elegant.
Harry was stunned when there was a painless thump on his head, followed by a woman's joking voice.
"What are you doing so early, it's time for me to prepare breakfast, are you here to help?"
Harry turned his head, a snow-white lean short hair, with a good fragrance, just grown to the shoulders, dark blue eyes like a deep sea, fascinating, a small pink mouth, giving people an urge to kiss it, a good-looking and straight little nose, I really want to pinch it, a good-looking melon seed face, white and delicate skin like pearls, wearing a white maid outfit, with a blue undershirt inside, about one meter seven or more, highlighting her perfect slender figure, The slight smile on her face added a lot of points to her, holding a vegetable basket in her hand, looking like she had just finished visiting the vegetable market, and holding the green onions she had just bought in the other hand.
If Festria is a woman with a big temper and a very casual attitude, she is like a woman who is as gentle as water, giving people a gentle and virtuous feeling.
"No, I'm here to find Miss Festeria, but it's too big for me to get lost." Harry blushed and said, it's so embarrassing, I actually have the hidden attribute of a road idiot, it's a shame.
"Hehe, come with me, I'll take you." The short-haired maid covered her mouth and laughed, she could see Harry's predicament at a glance.
Walking in the hallway, Harry followed closely behind her, afraid of losing it, there was only the sound of their footsteps walking in the hallway, Harry might want to find something to talk about, to break the awkward atmosphere, it was really too quiet.
"Sister, why is this place so big, but I only see you alone, where have everyone gone?" Harry, who was following her, asked.
"I'm the only one to sort it out here, I'm Lord Festeria's exclusive maid, and I'm the one who accompanies her, so you can call me Kalia in the future." The short-haired maid in white looked back and said.
"Hey, in this way, Sister Kalia, aren't you very tired, you have to manage such a big place, why don't you hire more people." In Harry's impression, his mother was also a maid hired by a nobleman, but according to his mother, a nobleman has many servants, and Miss Festria should also be a nobleman, how can there be only one maid to serve.
"Thank you for your concern, Master Festria and I have to track Sharman all year round, so we basically live all year round and just stay for a short period of time before leaving, I am not an ordinary maid who can follow Master Festria." Kalia said mysteriously.
"So that's the case, Sister Kalia is not an ordinary person, it should be very hard to follow Miss Festeria." Harry said, although Harry said so, but still a little unbelieving in his heart, looking at her weak look, how could he not associate her with those muscular men, however, Festria seemed to be like this, Harry recalled that he was handled by her in an instant, a little shuddered, and a sentence came out of his heart.
Finally under the leadership of Kalia, they came to Festria's room, Kalia looked at the messy room in front of her, and sighed helplessly, underwear, clothes were thrown everywhere, and the person on the bed was also sleeping like a child who liked to kick the quilt, wearing white pajamas, snoring, saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, the whole person's sleeping position was really casual, the quilt was kicked down by her, she didn't know it yet.
"Lord Festeria, it's time to wake up." Kalia said as she picked up the laundry that had been littered on the floor.
Festria only stopped snoring, wiped her saliva, scratched her bare waist with her hand, and then turned over, and after a while, there was another snoring sound.
Kalia smiled bitterly at Harry, "This is the habit of Lord Festeria, please forgive me for making you laugh." ”
Harry nodded embarrassedly, and couldn't help but have a question in his heart, is this really those great and invincible Sword Saints in fairy tales, sure enough, fairy tales are all deceitful, not like this at all.
In this way, Festria was called out by Kalia, and after Calia helped Festria get dressed, she took Harry and them to the dining room, and Harry fidgeted and had breakfast with Festria, and then set off.
Harry was speechless when he stood in front of this luxurious castle, no wonder it was so big, it turned out to be a castle, at the gate, at this time, Kalia didn't know where to bring a carriage, Kalia became the driver, Harry and they sat in the carriage, heading towards Harry's house.
At first, Harry wanted to show Kalia where his home was, but Kalia turned back to Harry and told Harry that he already knew where Harry's home was, and he didn't need Harry's guidance, so Harry could only sit quietly in the carriage with Festria.
Along the way, Harry curiously lifted the curtain next to him and looked outside, and saw a completely different look, the carriage passed through a dense wooded path, the sunlight outside poured in, forming a beautiful and quiet scenery, through the woods to a bridge, opposite the human settlement, Harry looked at the huge walls of these buildings, and found that he was still in this huge fortress.
As Harry's overseer, Festeria naturally had to go with him, and Festeria already regretted saying to Harry at that time that she would come to her casually, as if she was sleeping under the quilt that warmed her up.
Harry watched through the window of the carriage and drove into the human settlement, where people came and went, the owners of the surrounding shops enthusiastically delivered goods to customers, children chased them up and down the street, and women who bought groceries gathered together to chat about their daily lives, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.
This should be a civilian area, everyone is really happy, but why is everyone's life different, some people are about to starve to death, worried about money, some people don't worry about money, live happily, why is there such a gap between the rich and the poor, Harry thinks so in his heart.
The carriage drove all the way down the avenue to the free zone, and the adventurers on the road gradually increased, and the people around whispered to the carriage on the avenue from time to time.
As he got closer and closer to home, Harry's heart became uneasy, would his mother be angry with me, after all, it took me so long to come back, and my mother would definitely have a hard time in my absence, so prepare the lines in advance, and then apologize to my mother or something, and..., Harry, who is usually very calm, became not calm, and his whole mind was thinking about meeting his mother.
The luxurious carriage stopped in front of Harry's familiar building, and Kalia got out of the front of the carriage and opened the door of the carriage, allowing Festeria to get out of the carriage, and Harry followed closely behind, getting out of the carriage, and everyone around him stopped their work and the children watched from a distance.
Harry looked at the tall building, and felt an indescribable sense of belonging in his heart, and Harry naturally saw everyone he was familiar with, Aunt Maitlin who sold vegetables, Uncle Kensug Beard who struck iron, and the group of children who bullied him, but they all looked at him from a distance, what happened to everyone? Why are they all far away from me, what happened, forget it, let's go to my mother quickly.
Harry pushed open the door with a familiar step, his shoes making a familiar sound on the plank, and then he ran up the stairs expertly, layer after floor, Harry's heart only missed his mother immensely.
The room appeared in front of Harry's eyes, Harry didn't catch his breath, slowed down and walked slowly to the door, put his hand on the doorknob, and the familiar texture came, I'm back, Mother.
Pushing open the door, Harry froze in place and asked questioningly, "Ivan, why are you here, my house?!" ”
Ivan, who was sleeping on the table, opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Harry yawning and shouted inarticulately, "It's noisy, and you can't let people sleep." ”
Immediately after, Ivan's pupils dilated, as if he had seen a ghost, and the whole person became awake, maintaining a yawning posture and said awkwardly, "Oh, it turned out to be Harry, you are back, you listen to my explanation." ”
"What is the purpose of your coming to my house? Why did you come to my house? Where did my mother go? I'll explain it to you. Harry walked up to Ivan and threw out a bunch of questions, with a kind look on your face that you didn't answer honestly, I called you strangler.
"Haha, Harry, you really haven't changed at all." Ivan laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and answer my questions." Harry said, looking directly into his brown eyes.
"That, you know, I don't have a place to live, my home is far away, Fina is going to have a reunion with her parents after a long absence, how can I bother people, and I don't know your home, by the way, I should visit my aunt, but your mother happens to be away, hehe, so I ......, you won't mind." Ivan reached out and picked up the cap on the table and put it on his head, moving left and right, as if to adjust the position of the hat to a comfortable position before putting his hand down.
"Oh, is that so, do you know where my mother went?" Harry couldn't see Ivan's eyes from this angle, all of them were blocked by his hand, and Harry looked left and right in the room and said.
Harry knew that Ivan knew the location of his house, after all, he hadn't told them that night, and it was not surprising that he knew, but Harry didn't expect him to come to his house for the night.
"Your mother left you a note, you can read it yourself, don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that someone else stole it and kept it for you." Ivan took a neatly folded square note from his pocket and handed it to Harry.
It's strange to believe you, Harry said slanderously, but he still took the note, carefully opened it, and looked at it.
"My dear Harry, I know you will definitely come back, during your absence, my mother was very worried about you, but I can't go anywhere before you go, I have asked those people in the slums, they all said they don't know where you have been, and I have asked everyone near my home, but there is still no news of you, but my mother believes that you will be fine, you are so smart, you will definitely be fine, and there is one more thing I want to say, my mother is gone, I am looking for your father, I hope your father will accept you, Although it was all my fault at that time that I gave birth to you, I still hope that your father can give you a good name, don't worry about me, after a while, your mother will come back, you have to take good care of yourself, love your mother Jenna. ”
Harry closed the piece of paper, didn't speak, didn't react, just Ivan on the side looked at Harry with a worried expression.
"What are these things?" Harry pointed to the discarded pile of paper on the table and on the floor, as well as a pencil.
"This, this is what I use to practice writing, don't care, I'll throw it away right away." Ivan panicked as he put away the things on the table and picked up the discarded pile of paper on the floor.
"Thank you, Ivan." Harry burst into words.
"Huh? Why thank me? Ivan said blankly.
"Thank you for helping me save what my mother left me, thank you." Harry said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good, it's okay, haha..." Ivan half-crouched on the ground with his back to Harry, cleaning up the pile of papers on the ground, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.
Really, really thank you, Ivan, you have done so much for me, thank you so much, I know you have something to hide from me, although it is imitated very much like my mother's handwriting, but as a mother and son, how can I not know the subtle differences between this handwriting, I can't live up to Ivan's kindness, he has given so much for me, I am really lucky to be your good friend, Harry smiled.
Harry didn't dare to think about it, he didn't want to think about it, he could only keep a smile.
