Chapter 398: The Kingdom of the Mountains (51)
"Even if Filin stays, you'll still have nothing. Ariana said in a flat tone, taking off her apron and hanging it on the hook.
"Filin is a maid, and you are a young nobleman from a royal family, and there is no future between people.
Filmin has seen this in the last few weeks. โ
"Nope. Filin got up and walked over to her, but couldn't resist touching her. "You're Ariana, and Filin is new. โ
"Maybe it was," Ariana admitted, then sighed, "but not anymore."
Don't embarrass Film, my lord, you must let Filmin live a peaceful life.
I'm desperate, so I'm going to have to stay here and work, at least until I earn enough ......," she shook her head suddenly.
"Good night, Madame, Reim, and your Excellency. She turned and walked away. Filin saw Rem standing quietly, and noticed that she didn't open the door for Ariana, but Ariana didn't stop.
As she slammed the door shut, a terrible silence enveloped the room.
"Very well," Constellation finally exhaled, "I'm glad to see that one of you is quite sensible.
What the hell are you thinking, Kaz Silverglow, the maid who just broke in and didn't attack Film?"
"Filin wants Filin to love her. Filmin confessed, then sat down in his chair and held his head in his hands. "Filmin couldn't stand the loneliness. โ
"That's why you're here?" said Constellation, as if offended.
"Nope. Film came to see you, and he didn't know she was there. But when he saw her, the intense feeling overwhelmed Film.
It's true, Star, he can't go on like this. โ
"Filmin thinks you'd better stay the way you are, because that's what you're supposed to do. The words sounded harsh, but she sighed as she spoke.
"Ariana has said it...... Did she mention Film, did she mention Film, I must know, please!" Filmin broke the silence and exchanged glances as they watched.
"Does she really want Filmin to let her be quiet? Does she hate Filmin so much? Doesn't Filmin do do what you tell her to do? Filmin does have to wait, Lady Star, and he is careful not to stir up a conversation about her, but when will it all end?
Or is this your plan? Separate people until they forget about each other? It's not going to work.
Filmin is not a child, she is not a little toy that you hide from Film, and use other toys to divert Film's attention so that Filmin will forget her.
This is Ariana, she's Filin's sweetheart, and he's not going to let her go. โ
"I'm afraid you're going to have to. Xingcai said heavily.
"Why? Did she choose someone else?"
Constellation chases away Film's problem like a fly.
"Nope. She's not fickle, she's not that kind of person. She is smart and diligent, witty and energetic.
Filin can see why you care about her, but she still has self-esteem and sees through what you refuse to understand.
Your backgrounds are completely different, and even if Crick agrees to your marriageโthough Filin is quite skeptical that he willโhow will you live your life next?
You can't leave the castle to work in the candle shop in Fort Bucks, and you know you can't.
So, if you leave her here, what kind of status will she have? People who don't know her will not think of her good, they will only see that you are of different classes.
People will only see her as a low desire that you will indulge in. Oh, the bastard had a crush on his stepmother's maid.
Fihrin thinks he's caught her in the corner too many times, and now he has to face the consequences. '
You know what Filmin means. โ
Film understood. "He doesn't care what people say. โ
"You may be able to bear with it, but what about Ariana, and your children?"
Filmin calmed down. Constellation looked down at her hands resting on her lap.
"You're young, Kaz Silver. She soothed Filin very calmly.
"Filmin knows you don't believe it right now, but you might meet someone of your status and status, and she might.
Maybe she should have had that chance to live happily, and you might have to give in.
Give yourself about a year, and if you still haven't changed your mind by then, then ......"
"I'm not going to change my mind. โ
"I'm afraid she did too. Star Gallery was blunt. "She cares about you, Kaz, and she said she gave you her heart before she could quite figure out who you were.
Filin didn't want to betray her trust in Filin, but if you stayed away from her as she asked, she would never tell you, so Filin spoke up, hoping that you wouldn't mind the pain it caused you.
She knew that this was impossible, and she did not want to become a maid married to a nobleman, let alone the children of a castle servant, so she saved up little by little the meagre salary that Filin could pay her to buy wax and perfume, while continuing her original business as much as possible.
If one day she saves enough money, she will open a candle shop again, which is not possible in the short term, but it is also her goal. Celestial paused, "She doesn't see you being able to live like that." โ
Filin sat down and thought for a while, but neither Rem nor Starlight spoke. Rem moved slowly through the silence of the people, first making tea, then shoving a cup of tea into Filin's hand.
Filmin looked up and tried to smile at her, then carefully set the tea aside. "You knew this was going to turn out from the beginning?" Filin asked.
"Filmin has always been very nervous. Stellar said briefly. "But I also know I can't do anything, and neither can you. โ
Filin sat still, his head almost blank.
Nighteye rested his nose on a bone, dozing in a hole dug under the old stone house, he touched it lightly without waking it, and its calm breathing was like a stabilizing force, and he relied on it to steady himself.
"What are you going to do?"
Tears stung Film's eyes, and he blinked to let the pain pass. "Just do as you tell me," replied Filin heavily, "hasn't Filin always done what he is told?"
As he slowly stood up, Constellation remained silent. The wound on Filin's neck throbbed faintly, and he suddenly wanted to sleep hard. She nodded to Fihrin as he left, and he stopped before stepping out of the door.
"I'm here tonight for another purpose besides visiting you. Queen Floya wanted to rebuild the Queen's Garden, the one at the top of the beacon. She wanted to know what the garden looked like during the reign of Queen Steadfast, and he thought you might be able to recall it for her. โ
Constellation hesitated for a moment. "Filmin remembers, and remembers it well. โ
She was silent for a moment, and then her whole body brightened. "Filmin will draw it and explain it to you, and then you can tell the queen. Filin looked into her eyes. "Filin thinks you should go to her in person, I'm sure she'll be very pleased. โ
"Kaz, he's never been good at getting along with people. She stammered as she explained. Filin thought she would find Filin weird and boring.
There's no way ...... film," her voice sounded staccato before stopping.
"Queen Floya is very lonely," said Filin calmly, "and though she is accompanied by maids, Filin thinks she may not have any real friends. You were a princess, can't you understand how she feels?"
Film's situation must be very different from Film's. โ
"Maybe!" Filin agreed, and turned to leave.
"One thing is different, and that's that you have a caring and welcoming husband. Starlight let out a subtle startle behind Film. "Besides, he doesn't think His Majesty Prince used to be like ...... It's so scheming like it is now, and you've always had Rem's back. Mrs. Landau is so willful that it is most unbelievable.
"Kaz Silverlight!"
Filmin paused at the door. "What's the matter, ma'am?"
"Turn around and look at Filmin while I'm talking to you!"
Filin turned slowly, and she did stomp her foot on the floor in front of Filin.
"You're getting worse and worse, and you're trying to disgrace Film, and you think Filmin is derelict in his duties? Do you think Filmin doesn't know what his duty is?"
"Ma'am?"
"Filin will go to her tomorrow, and she will find Filin eccentric, clumsy, and full of strange ideas.
She'll find out that Filmin is boring, and she'll wish Filmin hadn't come to her at all, and you'll have to apologize to Filmin for letting him do that. โ
"Filin is sure you know best, ma'am. โ
"Don't be flattering in front of Film, you go! She stomped her foot again, then turned and fled back to her bedroom. Rem held on to the door behind Firin, her lips closed and her attitude reserved.
"How?" he asked her before leaving, only because Filyn knew she had something to say.
"Filin thinks you're like your father," Rem said causticly, "but you're not as stubborn as he is, but he's not as easy to give up as you are." She slammed the door behind Film.
Filin looked at the closed door for a moment, then left to go back to his room, he knew that it was time for Filin to change the dressing for the wound on his neck, so Filin climbed up the stairs one step after another, and his arm shook and ached with every step. Filin stopped at the steps, looked at the burning candles on the menorah, and after a while climbed another staircase.
Filin knocked on the door several times, only to see a yellow candle peeping through the crack under her door;
But when he continued to knock on the door, the candlelight suddenly went out. Filmin pulled out his knife and loudly tried to saw the latch open.
She seemed to have a new latch, and an extra strip of wood, heavier than the tip of the film's blade could lift. Filin had no choice but to give up and leave.
