Chapter 196: Some Past Events
Stannis found a chair that was still in good condition and sat down, but the expected hot drink was not served, and Aya kept busy with what she was doing, ignoring the lord sitting there.
Although it was very annoying to know who he was now, Stannis still stubbornly continued to speak for the sake of intelligence, "What about the rest of your family?"
Aya turned her back to him, and as she wound her hunting bow, she said disapprovingly, "It's all dead." ”
......The chat couldn't go on in the first place, but Stannis found something else, "That grave at the door is Sasha's?"
Aya turned around and looked at him with a look of surprise, "What do you mean, didn't my sister be buried by your own hands?
"Look at me, forget about this kind of thing!" Stannis scratched his head in embarrassment, for he had no impression of this kind of thing, "Whose grave is that outside, your father's?"
"Stennis did you come here to laugh at me!" Aya suddenly became furious, which caught Stennis off guard.
"I ...... What am I doing to me!" Stannis was very aggrieved.
Aya turned around and looked at the man in front of him with that bitter hatred look, a look he had seen once on Evelyn's face.
"Don't you know that my drunkard dad died 10 years ago, and on the night you brought my sister to the castle for 2 gold coins, he used the money to buy liquor and died drunk in the river. ”
This Stannis really doesn't know, but he doesn't think it's his own fault, after all, are we all adults and should be responsible for their actions.
"And then there's my sister, who passed away a year ago, and only you know why!"
This made it even more difficult for Stannis, who had come to find out the truth about Sasha's death but didn't even know about it, so who else could tell him everything he needed to know?
"Ever since my sister died, my mother thought that you and your men would ask us for our guilt, so she took me here overnight, but she kept talking about my sister until she died, and the grave was hers. Aya lowered her eyelids, pained every time she thought about it.
Stannis said that he understood that the loss of two of his dearest relatives in half a year was quite a big blow to him, and he just wanted to comfort him, but suddenly thought that he was the one who started all this......
"Actually, when I heard the news of Sasha's death, my heart didn't even fluctuate at all, let alone be sad. Aya said suddenly, he needed someone to talk to.
"Probably too little time spent with my sister, she has been sent to your castle for as long as I can remember, and she can only be seen a few days a year. But everyone likes her, even if your subordinates say that she seduced your mind, but the people in the village still can't believe it, and almost everyone keeps praising her when it comes to Sasha. ”
Stannis also thinks so, even Evelyn, who hates herself so much, has never said a bad word about Sasha, and the 'Sasha' in everyone's mouth seems to be sunshine, nourishing everyone around her with her gentle emotions.
"But the more she is like that, the more strange I feel to her, and even a little bit of hatred, such a perfect person, who should be my sister, has always been with you, as if you are her brother!"
Stannis was a little stunned, he didn't expect that the boy was jealous that he had taken the love that should have belonged to him.
"I'm sorry, I might have ...... Maybe a little too selfish. Stannis didn't know why he was apologizing, it had nothing to do with him.
Aya didn't speak, and it was a long time before he spoke, "But now that I think about it, the summer I spent in Sasha's castle when I was nine years old was the happiest moment of my life, and I remember when you insisted that I call you Stan, and told me that I would call you brother-in-law in the future, and at that time, I could tell from my sister's crimson face that she was the happiest woman in the world." ”
Stannis was inexplicably sad, according to the time, it should be when he was seventeen years old, and it was really the season of boys' first love.
"It's just that Sasha can only stay in the cold dark world now......"
"yes, she's dead. Stannis also said this sentence and could not speak again.
Two boys, one older and one younger, were in this silence.
"Move to my castle. Stannis suddenly looked up, "Although Sasha is gone, I still treat you as a brother, and it is better to move to me than to stay here." ”
Aiya shook her head stubbornly.
"If you wish, you can also take your little girlfriend with you, I think she is very envious of the life of the nobility. ”
The boy laughed too, and it seemed that he also knew what Anne was thinking, "Forget it, if she lives in the castle for a month, I will not be able to support her even more, and if I can only become an ordinary farmer in the future, she will not run away." ”
His words also made Stannis laugh, "Woman......"
With that, he got up and prepared to go back, but when he reached the castle, he was suddenly stopped by a strange call from behind him.
"Stan, I don't want to know why she died, because I know she's willing to die for you anyway. I just wanted to ask if you could tell me where my sister was buried, and my mother kept it in mind before she died. ”
But Stannis could only shake his head helplessly, because he really didn't know.
"Aya, a lot has happened in the past year, and I'm sorry for what happened to your sister, but please also understand that after so many more incidents, the Stannis you know is no longer the Stan you used to be, so let it go like this. ”
"But!" said Aya, but the visitor had already left.
Although Stannis told the boy just now that he was going to let go of everything, why was he still tirelessly searching for memories, and when would he be able to let go?
When he returned to the castle, it was dark one night, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Maester Romon rushing towards him with a letter.
"What's the matter! Didn't I say that the castle matter will be dealt with slowly!" Stannis deftly dodged the old man's lunge, and now he just wanted to go to bed and get some sleep.
But Maester Romon looked very unnatural, and there must have been something important in the letter.
"Miss Anne invites you to her birthday party!"
