60. Jessica's death
When Victoria woke up, it was already dark, and she felt that her head was sore, and she slowly crawled out of the quilt, leaned on the edge of the bed, lowered her eyes, and was silent, as if thinking about something, but she knew that her mind was empty, and there was nothing.
I don't know how long it took for the door to be gently pushed open.
"Your Highness, are you awake, do you want something to eat?" The maid who was guarding outside would come in every once in a while, waiting for her to wake up, but Victoria didn't seem to hear what she was saying, just staring at a place at her feet, her eyes empty.
"Your Highness?"
She slowly raised her head and looked over, her movements a little sluggish, "What?"
"Would you like something to eat?" the maid didn't dare to get too close, but stood at the door and asked her, "It's ready, ...... you?"
Victoria took a moment to react, "You go out, don't come in again." "It's annoying to watch. The way she frowned made the maid a little scared, so naturally she wouldn't say anything more, and closed the door and went out, for fear of touching her moldy head.
Recently, I'm just getting more and more lazy to move, I feel so tired, it seems that all these years of exhaustion have accumulated in the present, my eyelids are heavy, and my brain is slow to react, but she is very sober. Victoria pinched her eyebrows irritably, there had never been such a loss of control before, everything about her should have been in her plan, as soon as there was any deviation that made her irritable, now it was directly out of control.
She pursed her lips, took the already cold tea on the bedside and swallowed it one by one, pouring it into her empty stomach, which relieved her discomfort a little.
As soon as Lucifer came back, he heard that she was not eating, so he pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered the door, a teacup was smashed in his face, Lucifer turned his head sideways to dodge, and the teacup fell on the wall, shattering, "Did you eat politely in the dog's stomach, why didn't you knock on the door?!"
Lucifer wasn't annoyed, a little smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, it seemed to be much better with such strength, "Liga." The woman on the bed paused before looking over.
Because it was too dark in the room to see clearly. "How about you. His tone was flat, and he did not welcome his arrival.
"Who messed with you again? Why don't you even eat? Is it comfortable to be hungry?" he walked over and put a cloak on her, wrapped it tightly, pressed his fingertips on her temples, and his tone was much softer than usual, "Does it still hurt?"
...... She didn't speak, didn't want to speak, just curled up in his arms, closed her eyes, a little less sharp between her eyebrows, a little more peaceful.
"Let's go back tomorrow. Afraid of any accidents, Lucifer thought about it, and it was better to take Victoria back first, and leave the matter to Sylvester and Rothschild. He was just afraid that Victoria would see that face exactly the same as Jessica, afraid that she would transfer the few remaining feelings to that person, Jesiga finally died, Victoria finally came out of it, he couldn't watch her meet such a person again, and claim everything he had given him.
Victoria didn't expect, "What's the matter? Shouldn't we stay here for a few days?" Victoria thought something had happened to the temple, and her brow furrowed several times.
"It's nothing, I just want to go back, it's boring to stay here. Don't you want to stay here too?"
"But...... Peace talks are about to begin, and you can't do it if you're not here. "The peace talks are a major event every five years, and even Victoria has to pay attention to it.
"If only I told them to go to the temple this year, Joyce won't save our face, Elvis won't stay in this kind of place for too long, Thranduil doesn't have much say, and the delay in peace talks is good for all parties, and there is so much time to prepare, no one will refuse. Lucifer ran her hair, "It's not just us, they don't plan to stay long, this time it's just to correct Thrandil's name." Speaking of this, the eyes of both of them were gloomy.
"He is very tolerant, such a person is like a jackal hiding in the dark, waiting for you to not do it, and then come out and bite you. ”
But Lucifer never worried, he was the most arrogant, even unscrupulous, and the one who would be used by Thrandier could never be him. "Joyce is still too soft-hearted in some ways, and Elvis's bottom line is too clear, this person is above board, and he will never use any subordinate means, maybe one day he will be put on a score by Thranduil. ”
"What are you worried about, although Everway is the weaker of the three of us, but Nord is also smart, how can nothing big happen, as for Joyce, Scott Bylu is the strongest, his power is weakened, it is good for us. "Victoria had always thought Nord was an idiot, but he was much smarter than everyone else. As for Joyce, they used to be interested, but now they are not, and once his power declines, it will be of great benefit to the Temple.
"Well, don't think about that. Seeing her frowning, Lucifer reached out to soothe her eyebrows, "You should have a good rest recently." With that, he called for someone to push the food cart in, and fed her the oats bite by bite, while Victoria ate what was in his mouth, but his eyes kept looking at him, with a little inquiry, mixed with a little trance.
"What's wrong?" Lucifer wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin on the side, "What else do you want to eat?" He didn't pay much attention to her gaze, because he was the most self-aware and didn't think much about it.
Victoria thought for a moment, lowered her head, and muttered to herself, "Lucifer, you are really hateful. ”
"Why do you want to hate me?"
"Nothing. Victoria shook her head, there was one thing she knew, she had always wanted to say, but she didn't know how to say it, now that it was like this, it was embarrassing to say the past.
Lucifer lowered his eyes, "Say whatever you want, I want to know what is it that makes you obsessed with me." He knew it in his own heart, didn't he, but he still had to say it himself.
Victoria's hand was warmed by his palm, the room was quiet for a while, and the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, Victoria leaned into his arms, and didn't look at his face, just said, "Jessica's death has something to do with you, right?"
Really...... She was so smart, how could she not know. Lucifer couldn't tell what mood he was in right now.
"You know about Jessica's death, right?"
