"Sister Kalia, can I ask you something?" Harry leaned on the kitchen sink with his feet on the stool, washing his dishes, and asked Kalia who was chopping vegetables next to him.

Harry is now helping Kalia, after all, Kalia's sister is also tired from cleaning the upper room alone, and wants to share some pressure for her, although she is almost tired to death, but this level is not as good as Master Festeria's devil training, everyone is very tired, and they are currently resting on the table outside, so there are only two people in the kitchen, Kalia and Harry.

"Okay, what do you want to ask me?" Kalia said intently, cutting the dish.

"Sister Kalia, why were you unhappy at that time, just tell me if you have anything unhappy, I promise I won't tell anyone, I swear." Harry learned from Ivan's movements at that time, stopped washing the dishes, raised one hand high, straight, and his little face looked like a swearing, and his cute appearance made people laugh.

Harry knew, Sister Kalia's expression at that time was different from the usual gentle look, although he didn't show an angry expression, but from his words and deeds, Harry understood that sometimes his appearance is calm, and it doesn't mean all of a person, after all, life is like a play, and everyone can perform, not to mention Harry, who has lived with her for so long, can he not see through her, but Harry just doesn't understand what she is angry about, and he is a little uneasy, so he took the opportunity to ask for help.

"You little guy, I'm fine, don't worry about it." Seeing Harry's appearance, Kalia put down the kitchen knife in her hand, pinched his little face and smiled.

"Sister Kalia, do you still not trust me?" Hearing her say this, Harry's dark eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said a little sadly, Harry thought that Kalia didn't trust him and didn't tell him the truth, and felt very sad.

"I'm sorry, Harry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's better for you to know less about some things, don't worry, I've always trusted you, I won't lie to you." Seeing Harry's sad appearance, Kalia seemed to have touched something, put down the hand that was pinching Harry's face, hugged Harry, hugged him into his arms, and stroked his hair comfortingly.

Harry was stunned for a moment, his face was against her chest, a little unable to react to the change in this situation, the skin came with a warm feeling belonging to her body, the body fragrance on Kalia's body made Harry feel inexplicably relieved, this is the feeling of trust from others, Harry was very moved, choked up and said, giving people a look of about to cry "Well, I understand, Sister Kalia is for my good, I'm just worried about you, I'm scared, I'm afraid of losing my loved ones again." ”

Kalia was also stunned for a moment, shocked by what Harry said, repeated the words Harry said, her eyes became gentle, her hands pressed on Harry's shoulders and slowly pushed him out of her arms in front of her, a pair of black eyes and blue eyes looked at each other and said. "Loved ones? Harry, don't worry, I won't leave you, don't you want to know why I'm angry, I'll tell you right now, in fact, what I hate the most is the people who cheat on me, the people who put on a hypocritical face, and the guys who pat me on the back in front of me are such people, which makes me angry and annoying. ”

Deceit?! Isn't that me? What is the difference between me and those people, I have been deceiving Sister Calia, but she has never known it, and she trusts me so much, and is so gentle with me, I am really a person of bad character, and Calia's words shot through Harry's heart like an arrow, making him feel very uncomfortable and blame himself.

"Harry, Harry, what's wrong with you?" Kalia kept shaking Harry, looking at him uncomfortable, and said worriedly.

"I'm fine, but I suddenly remembered something that made you worry, by the way, I still have to wash the dishes, otherwise everyone won't have a bowl to eat." Harry came back to his senses, noticing his gaffe, his eyes daring to meet Kalia's, and he looked at the sink next to him, explaining.

"It's okay, I thought something had happened to you." Kalia let go of her hand and patted her chest in reassurance, looking at Harry and said.

"Then I'll wash the dishes first, Sister Kalia needs any help, just call me." Harry smiled at her, turning to wash the dishes.

Kalia nodded, glanced at Harry, washed his hands, and went about his business, the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables came again, Harry washed the dishes, put the cleaned dishes on the stacked pile next to him, turned his back to her, and showed an apologetic look where Kalia couldn't see, but quickly put it away, and continued to have a reassuring smile on his face. working

I'm sorry, Sister Kalia, I'm a despicable liar, but if I can protect you, even if I am hated by you in the future, I will not hesitate to do it, this is the path I chose, I'm really sorry, Harry was washing the dishes, his heart hurt.

A delightful dinner is served on the dining table, with a round table covered with white cloths in the central hall, a variety of delicacies served on white plates, and the enchanting aroma wafting through the hall on the first floor.

On the table on the right, there are long breads baked golden brown with a slightly charred taste, neatly stacked on a white plate in a triangular shape; Steaming is a bowl of fish soup, the rich soup floats on this unknown green plant, so that the umami of the fish soup itself sublimates several times, and the aroma of the fish meat makes people shocked; Of course, these are supporting roles, the main role is the dish in the middle of the table, it is not an exaggeration to call it an intoxicating magic food, the slightly charred pork skin is coated with fragrant, pungent condiments, the dark sauce gives people a slightly spicy but with a hint of sweetness, the sauce is laid under the roast pig, the condiments are mixed with the sauce, with the roasted suckling pig just right, oh my God, that kind of taste and visual impact, it attracts everyone's attention in an instant, and the sight can't leave, Under the suppression of the domineering taste and huge volume, the surrounding dishes have also become a foil.

So, where do these ingredients come from? This is thanks to the habit that Calia has cultivated over the years, as the Guardian Order's Captain and Servant, she often lives in a fixed place and lives in exile, and although she has good cooking skills, she has no ingredients and tools, and everything is in vain.

So in order to solve everyone's food and clothing problems, Festria who can't bear the hard life outside specially spent a lot of money and trust relations, only to customize a magic appliance that can store food from the magic academy, Kalia is naturally the user of this valuable magic instrument, with this, there is no need to worry, there is no good food in the wild, with this, quite with a mobile kitchen, the problem has become much simpler, of course, the role is not only that.

Under Harry's shouting, Sally sat down at the table with an apologetic look, but their expressions were ......, everyone swallowed their saliva and stared at the delicious roast suckling pig, Sally couldn't care about the image, saliva flowed out, everyone's expressions were quite reserved, but their eyes were not honestly staring at the food on the table, they were originally going to help, but they were tired and didn't react, so they ate the dinner that Harry and Kalia had worked so hard to make, how to say, it's not too much, well, of course, if the host invites, it's not impossible.

Harry is not such a calculating person, he knows that everyone is tired, and it is understandable that he did not come over to help, even if he came to help, it will cause chaos for Kalia, Harry can barely keep up with Kalia's rhythm, his hands and feet feel insufficient, there is no time for distraction, if it is them, the end is self-evident.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a soft knock on the door, and Harry was standing in front of it.

Harry hadn't forgotten the kind old woman who provided them with a place to live, although this place was suspicious, but after all, this was someone's home, how could they ignore someone's home, greeting the owner was a basic etiquette, and it was also a kind of respect for people.

After a while, the door opened a crack, revealing only the kind old face of the old woman, and she smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Child. ”

"Actually, there is nothing important, that is, we have made a lot of meals, and we would like to invite you over to dinner with us, old woman, have you had dinner? If you don't mind, let's come along. Harry said, standing in front of the door.

It's so dark, you can't see anything inside, Harry said as he looked at the crack in the door, but except for the kind face of the old woman, the room was pitch black, was there no light? Or are you sleeping? Harry thought strangely.

The old woman smiled faintly, noticed Harry's gaze, opened the door, and the light from outside also shone in, beating her old waist and explaining, "I was just sleeping just now, after all, I am old, and I feel very tired at every turn." ”

"Well, I'm sorry we disturbed your rest." Harry said apologetically, through the bright light, the layout of the room Harry could also see clearly, a very small room, similar to the configuration of a single room, except for a bed, there was nothing, not even a window, which also explained why it was dark inside just now, he was really rude.

"It's okay, it's really lively outside, and it smells good, so my wife might as well be respectful." The old woman walked out on crutches, and Harry hurried to help her to the table in the hall.

Everyone was waiting for Harry to come out, and the old woman sat next to Harry and had dinner with everyone, of course, not just eating, chatting and having fun.

"Are you all here to participate in the celebration of white flowers, today is a big day, some big people from all over the imperial capital will come, although Your Majesty can't come because of some things, but it is still as lively as the previous celebrations." The old woman at the table said with a smile.

"Sort of, we're all here for the first time, and we've only heard a little about it, and I hope you can tell us more about what you don't understand." Kalia said as she put down her fork.

Indeed, Kalia and Lucy have only heard of this celebration, it is obviously a grand festival of the empire, many people have heard of it, but they don't understand what this celebration of white flowers is all about, Lucy is hearsay, in fact, she has never been here at all, and so is Kalia, at that time, Festria had not yet become a sword master, let alone the head of the guardian knights, who had just been in office for less than a few years and was sent to capture Shaman, the evil witch, how could she have time to participate in such a leisurely celebration.

Even the erudite Lucy and the almost omnipotent Kalia didn't know, not to mention Harry, who didn't know anything outside the window, and looked confused.

"In that case, then my wife will tell you about this white flower celebration." The old woman said.

The celebration of the white flower, is a grand celebration of the empire, although it is very important, but to the whole country to participate, this is obviously impossible, considering the long and tortuous road, as well as the prolonged war, and other factors, more than half of the people can know that it is good, after all, the celebration of the white flower is the empire's powerful nobles and rich businessmen to play place, when His Majesty is present, these nobles are still somewhat restrained, the celebration is very solemn, the momentum is very grand, but this year is different, Your Majesty is not coming, Naturally, these nobles would not care so much, and even more so the wealthy merchants, all kinds of shops selling goods along the way into the city, with all kinds of advertisements, if it weren't for the celebration, Harry would have thought that he had entered the business district.

Although this year is not as lively and solemn as the last time, there are still many people who come to Harry's imagination, otherwise it will be so full that they have to sleep on the street, if it is like the previous session, not only can you see Your Majesty, but also see several famous sword saints and magicians in the mainland, etc., as long as it is the most famous person in the mainland, it is possible to come here, and it is not common to watch the blooming of white flowers, it is a spectacle that only comes once in five years.

The celebration is a celebration, it is used to celebrate, and there must be a warm-up activity before watching, but the old woman mysteriously kept silent, and simply brought it over, saying that Harry and they should feel it well, if they say it themselves, the effect will be weakened a lot, so Harry and they can only keep their curiosity and listen to her, but they are inexplicably curious about this celebration.

According to the old woman's words, Harry's general impression of the celebration was that they had no other thoughts except for important flower viewing and some activities, but they were more curious about the beginning of the celebration, what it would be like.

"Knock, knock, knock." The bell rang three times loudly, as if to indicate something, and the old woman stopped talking and squinted out the door, and Harry, who was listening to the old woman's speech, also looked out of the door, but there was only a wall in front of the door, and there was only a night left.

"Children, the celebration is about to begin, and you won't be able to see it when you go late." The old woman looked at Harry and said kindly.

"Celebration? It's going to start?! How can it be so fast? Harry stopped biting on the bread and swallowed the bread in his mouth, and said in surprise.

"It's not early, hurry up, you can't see it if you're late." The old woman got up from her seat, picked up the cane that was placed next to the stool, and walked slowly to her room.

"Aren't you going to see it?" Harry asked.

"It's not like I haven't seen it, my mother-in-law is old, and it's inconvenient to participate in your young people's activities, so I'll go back and rest." The old woman waved her hand and walked into the room.

…………………………………………… Dividing line .........................................................

"I really want to go, damn the mission." The woman with long fiery red hair was lying on the railing of the balcony, her white skirt and hair dancing in the wind, the moon in the night sky was bigger and brighter than ever, and the woman put her chin on her arm and said weakly.

"Lord Festeria, there's no way around it, and to be honest, I'd love to go too." A handsome man with long blond hair walked in from behind, holding an overcoat and carefully draped it over her.

"Well, I'll have to wait for the next time." Festeria sighed.

Then someone shouted enthusiastically from below, "Festria, although we can't go to the White Flower Festival together, I have specially arranged a welcome party for you, you will definitely like it!" ”

The man shouting downstairs was naturally the yellow-haired Lauren, who was holding a large bouquet of blooming fiery red flowers in his hand.

"That wave, blast him out for me." Festria got up from the railing, said to Nabo downstairs, didn't look at him, and turned and walked into the room.

"Festria! Listen to me, let me in! Lauren said hurriedly to the short, strong, naked, sturdy brown man who stopped in front of him.

"Well, I'm sorry, Marquis Lauren, you understand." Nabo put a pair of big hands on Lauren's shoulders and smiled meaningfully.

"Hey, you're not the same as last time, you should know who I am, Nabo." Lauren said as she looked straight at Nabo with a pair of eyes.

"Of course, Marquis Lauren, one of Duke Myron's favorite children, there is no one who does not know." That wave said flatteringly.

Lauren nodded in satisfaction, and then, there was no more......

"Ahh A man rolled out of the doorway of a mansion and stopped beside a carriage in front of the door, where the old butler who was waiting hurried forward to lift the man on the ground.
