Chapter 109: Crying
From Anthony's words, Luna could tell that this was a sensitive child, whether it was a loss or a deliberate distance between others and him, he would see it, remember it in his heart, and even ......
Luna glanced at the squire boy who was not far away, and perhaps Anthony didn't notice him paying attention to him!
"Why are you hesitating when they're all nice to you?" asked Luna, after a moment's thought.
"I don't know. Anthony said a little sullenly.
Although he lived in Raphael's house for a month, whether it was the servants of the family or the old marquis and others, they were very good to him, but he always felt that something was missing.
"Are you homesick?" Luna asked again.
"Home?" Anthony was stunned.
Thinking back to the humble thatched hut in that remote town, to be honest, he didn't want to go back at all, except for the occasional change of weather, when he thought of his neighbor's mother-in-law.
"I don't want to, it's just that I can't worry about my mother-in-law, she's really old, and she has a bad temper, and no one likes to talk to her and help her work......"
"Do you want to have a home?"
"I have a family. Anthony suddenly clenched his knees after Luna could say this, burying his head and face in it.
Looking at Anthony like this, Luna sighed and said:
"If you have a home but don't want to go back, and you don't know if you want to stay? Have you thought about where you want to go and where you can go after you leave here?
You think that the old marquis keeps a distance from you, but have you ever thought about getting closer to him, or trying to accept him and know him?
I don't know what your father means to you, but you really need to think about yourself.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't help you. ”
Although Luna also knows that these things are really difficult for a small child to choose.
But the problem is that Anthony doesn't look like a person who will rely on others, since he is not willing to rely on others, then in order to survive, or live better, he must learn to make choices as soon as possible.
All she can help him with is to ask all these questions one by one so that he can make choices more intuitively.
"I'm here to ask him about it, but he's ...... It's already dead......" At this moment, Anthony's voice was like a mosquito, revealing a thick confusion and helplessness.
Luna was also stunned when she heard this, she didn't hear Anthony mention his biological father at first, and she thought that the child's family deliberately avoided this question, but she didn't expect that the person was no longer there.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that Anthony should have lost his direction when he suddenly found out that his father had died.
Because the person who had been his target and encouraged him to leave his familiar surroundings had completely disappeared from this world.
And what disappeared with it was the obsession that the little boy would never get an answer again.
"I'm sorry. Luna opened her mouth and subconsciously raised her claws to caress Anthony's back.
But what she didn't expect was that the boy, who had been a little cold from the first meeting, suddenly turned around and hugged her, and as the suppressed low sobs came into her ears, Luna's heart was sour.
"The ...... of the palace" saw that all the people who ran in the morning had returned, but Luna was missing, and Liya, who was hurriedly looking for her with the guards, saw such a scene.
Luna shook her head slightly at Liya, who wanted to lead someone up, and raised her paw to pat the boy for so long, and the touch was still distinct, and she didn't speak, just let him cry.
Anthony didn't know how long he had been crying, he cried and sobbed before he blushed and let go of Luna, and when he turned around and saw Liya standing not far away with two guards, his face quickly turned the color of pig liver, and he hurriedly got up, didn't even bother to say a word, turned his head and ran.
Seeing that Antonissa was running away, one of the two guards was about to chase after him, but he was stopped by Luna, and Ria hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Your Highness, did that wild boy hurt you?"
Luna looked at the little maid who rushed up with anxious eyes, and inexplicably felt that the three words of the wild boy were a little harsh, and couldn't help but say in a deep tone: "That's the young master of the Raphael family." ”
"Yes, I remember Your Highness. What did he just do? Did he hurt you?"
Liya also knew that her words were wrong, but at this time, she was more concerned about her Royal Highness than the young master who had not yet been recognized.
"No, no, don't you think I'm good?"
Luna looked at Liya, who had checked her up and down over and over again, and suddenly felt a little crying and laughing, could she still be drowned in the kid's tears?
"It's good if you don't have it. Your Highness, we have to go back. ”
After checking Luna's whole body several times, Liya, who was finally relieved to see that there was no injury, reminded.
"Got it. ”
Luna nodded, turning her head to look in the direction Anthony had run away, but paused, and then looked at the two poker-faced guards, and finally Luna looked at Ria again, asking, "Did you see the squire who just ran after Anthony?"
"See. Is he rude to His Highness?"
If it weren't for that stinky boy, she wouldn't have spared two laps before finding His Highness.
When she first asked the attendant, the man was obviously staying not far from the big tree, but he actually opened his mouth to come and pointed them in another direction, if it weren't for the two guards who said, the more they walked, the fainter the smell of the princess, and they might have walked to the city wall by now.
"What's wrong with you today? How do you think everyone looks like a bad person?"
Luna asked, tilting her head to look at a somewhat angry Rhea.
Liya just pouted, but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Luna didn't ask any more questions, but said, "After class in a while, you go to the squire just now, and ask him to say hello to the old marquis on my behalf, and by the way, help me convey a word, well, just say, 'He needs a home, give him more time.'" 'Remember?'
"Remembered. Liya looked in the direction of the school with some hesitation before continuing, "Then I'll send you back first, and then I'll see you have breakfast." ”
"Okay!" Looking at Liya, who was not old next year, but had the heart of an old mother, Luna nodded, and walked towards the castle with Riya and the two guards.
In the evening, the old Marquis of Casa learned from his attendants what had happened during his morning run.
"You say, Princess Luna told me this?"
The old marquis couldn't help but be a little unable to reflect, that little princess, as far as he knew, should have been born in the late autumn and early winter last year, right?
But listen to what she asked her attendants to convey, this is like the words of a cub who is not yet a year old and has not yet transformed into a shape?
"It's Princess Luna's maid, the little one who found it. The attendant always lowered his head and replied with a blank look.
"Okay, you go down!" the old Marquis of Casa nodded.
