Chapter 513: Stockholm Syndrome
As Jack soars into the sky on a cheese with his wings outstretched, Luna spun around and stumbles into the cart in a bit of embarrassment.
"Your Highness. Susie looked at Luna, who was crooked in her seat after getting into the car, and whispered a little worriedly.
"It's okay, let's go back!" Luna whispered as she raised her hand and rubbed her face, blocking the sunlight from the window with her cuffs.
It is said that there is an induction between twins, but in fact, as far as Luna herself is concerned, except for when Jack was transformed, over the years, whether Jack was injured in a fight with someone outside, or was punished and whipped, she didn't have any special feelings.
If it weren't for the fact that there was, I got the news afterwards, and I was distressed to see Jack's miserable appearance.
But this time it was different.
I don't know if it was really a sense or something else, but the moment Jack turned to leave and the cheese rose into the air, Luna felt as if something was suddenly far away from her.
This feeling came unexpectedly, and even made Luna feel a little inexplicable, but it was impossible to ignore.
All the way back to the royal court, Luna's mood was not too good, and when she got out of the beast cart, the servants and guards she met on the road saw her cold face, and they all consciously did not touch her brow.
As she passed by the door of Jack's bedroom, Luna paused in her footsteps as she looked at the wide open door, then walked to the open door, leaning against the frame and looking into the room.
In fact, nothing has changed in the room, except that Jack's usual weapons and some small objects that he is used to daily use have been put away and taken away, the sheets, bedding and most of his clothes are still lying quietly in their original places, and there is even a residual Jack's breath in the room.
But in this familiar room, there is a lack of the babbling teenager who is always loose and sloppy in a jumper and a messy head, which makes Luna's heart inexplicably irritable.
Originally, Luna and this irritability were only uncomfortable because Jack left in a hurry, but the facts clearly told her that even if she could stick to the usual side that would make her feel at ease with Olivia, this irritability still did not abate.
On the contrary, because of the suppressed restlessness she showed from time to time, Olivia also worried.
"Pack up our things, let's talk to my father and queen tomorrow, and we'll go back to the manor in the afternoon." ”
After struggling for a few days, Luna finally gave up, no longer suppressing her desire to escape for a while, and sat down in her room, as she commanded.
"Good. Susie sighed at this, she could understand why Luna was so agitated.
Because when she left home and came to the royal city, she also had such an uneasiness that seemed to be full of wild grass, but at that time, she was young after all, and there was her aunt in the royal court, and she was more accustomed to obedience, so it was not as serious as Luna's anxiety these days.
"By the way, Mr. Snake's invitation, how long did you help me postpone it?" Luna suddenly remembered that she had repeatedly postponed the invitation, but she never thought about Adam, who had come uninvited as usual, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows.
"I didn't specify the time, but after Mr. Snake came to ask twice, he knew that you had a lot of things to do lately, so he only said when you had time, and let him know that he would listen to your arrangement. Susie thought for a moment and replied.
"Are you sure that's what he said? wasn't his squire or someone else misunderstood what he meant?" Luna looked at Susie in some surprise.
"Uh...... The maid who delivered the message on her behalf said that she had indeed seen Mr. Snake himself. Susie pursed her lips.
In fact, she thought it was incredible when she heard about it at the time, but because Luna had been busy helping Jack with his schedule, she didn't ask, and she also followed the busy group, so she forgot about it.
"The time to return to the manor should be postponed by a day! You send someone, uh, you should go there yourself! Mr. Yosnecke will meet tomorrow, and he will decide the place, place and time!"
Luna said after a moment's thought.
Susie responds and leaves, but Luna sits on the couch and suddenly feels that her brain is a little insufficient.
In fact, it is still very common for Luna to have invitations repeatedly postponed, after all, she is just a person, and although there are not many things on weekdays, it is impossible for someone to meet them if they want to.
But to the point where it is easy to speak, it would be normal if you changed to any small nobleman, but that person was Adam Snake, it was obviously abnormal.
Especially since the fight, Adam was forcibly bled by Adolf and fed to Luna, Adam was almost sticky to his face, what aristocratic reserve, what subtlety in upbringing, after he discovered Luna's different value, almost all of them were abandoned.
And this seems to have been tacitly approved by Silas, and Luna didn't know what the charter was, but Gout told her that she could work with Adam and do what she wanted, and she didn't think much about it.
But even with Gorte as a guarantor, Luna still got used to it for a long time before she slowly accepted Adam's style of acting to profit from difficulties and create difficulties without difficulties.
In the beginning, before she realized that a simple combination of interests was more worry-free than a relationship of interests mixed with useless feelings, in fact, Luna had avoided Adam's invitation for a reason every time he appeared.
It's just that Adam never paid attention to her refusal, whether it was when the two were not familiar with each other, or after slowly running into a certain tacit understanding, that person never mattered whether she really had no time, or if she didn't have time, he would uphold an attitude that if the mountain doesn't come to me, I will come to the mountain.
But this time......
Adam, who suddenly became so talkative, inexplicably made Luna feel a little weird.
If most of the business and wealth in Luna's hands are now built by relying on the ready-made business network of her grandfather and uncle, then her increasingly sophisticated business negotiation methods over the years can be said to be forced out of cooperation and confrontation with Adam again and again.
In a sense, Adam can be regarded as Luna's existence as a teacher, friend and rival after ending the petty fight, thinking wildly and thinking about one play after getting on the right track.
And this is such a person, suddenly one day there is something to ask for, and he is unusually good at talking, and I will take a small whip to move you when you don't move, and Luna doesn't know if she is a little Stockholm syndrome or whatever, and she is actually a little worried about Adam......
After realizing that she would be worried about the longworm that was really ruthless, Luna shivered violently, aimed at the sky outside, and saw that the moon was still one big and one small, and only after seeing that there were still many of them, did she breathe a sigh of relief, scratch her head irritably, and went back to bed to count the rabbits.
