These words made the whole thing trivial, and Filin felt a hollow, frightening feeling creeping up inside Filin.

Filming once went to the servant's room in the tower, climbed a long abandoned staircase, and passed years of dust and rubbish to his room facing the parapet and the beautiful garden.

Filin remembered the fish swimming freely in the large fish tank, the pots of bryophytes, and the pocket clay doll lying in the cradle and being cared for.

When he closed his eyes, he added fuel to the fire: "They searched so thoroughly. I was so stupid to believe that there was a safe place in the world. ”

Fihrin couldn't look at him. Aside from his mouth, he is a defenseless man who is single-minded about serving his king and saving the world.

However, someone wants to ruin his world, and worse, he may be retaliated against for some of the things that Filmin did.

"I can help you sort it out. Filmin calmly proposed.

He shook his head vigorously twice. "I don't think so. He said, then added in a more normal tone, "Filmin didn't mean to offend you. ”

"I didn't think so. ”

Filin tied together the cleaning herbs and the jar of ointment, as well as the remaining rags torn from his shirt.

He jumped off Film's closet. When he gave it to him, he took it discreetly and walked to the door, and even though he said that he had only a minor wound to his face, he walked very stiffly, and turned by the door as he walked.

"Can you tell Filmin when you're sure?" he paused meaningfully, then lowered his voice, "Filmin thought, they all dare to do this to the King's servants, and think about what they might do to the woman who is carrying the Crown Prince's heir?"

"They don't dare. Filmin said angrily.

He replied disdainfully, "Don't they dare?" Filin doesn't know what they don't dare to do now, Kaz Silverglow, and you don't know either.

If the film was you, you'd find a better way to tie the door shut, unless you wanted your head to be covered with a bag. ”

He smiled, but not at all like his usual mocking and playful appearance, and then walked out with a puff of smoke. After he left, Filin walked to the door, stuck the wooden stick to the door, and sighed with his back against the door.

"Everyone else is fine, Hermes. I said aloud into the silence of the room.

"But for Film, he wants you to come back as soon as possible. There's a lot going on besides the Red Ship, and Filin always feels that the Spirits may not be able to help defend against the other threats that people are facing. ”

Filin waited, hoping to feel his response or approval, but there was no news, causing Filin's heart to flutter again. It's hard for me to know for sure when Hermes's consciousness will be with Filin, and I never know if he sensed what Filin was trying to convey to him.

Once again, Filin wondered why he hadn't just passed the order to Caton, since he had spent the whole summer whispering to her about the Red Ship, why was he so silent now?

Or did she only reveal it to His Majesty?

Perhaps the scars on the servant's face reflect His Majesty's panic at what had happened to Hermes when he found out that he was away;

As to why he sought out the servant's contemporary sin lamb, it is to be guessed. Perhaps, he was just using his servant as a punching bag, and the servant was never afraid to offend His Majesty, and the same was true to others.

Later that night, he went to find Ariana. Although it was dangerous at this time, as more people were now gathered in the noisy castle and more servants were needed to take care of them, Filin's suspicions could not stop Filin.

When he knocked on the door, Ariana looked through the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Filin. Filin replied incredulously, as she had never asked before.

"Oh. She answered, and opened the door, and he slipped in, fastening it as she walked to the fireplace.

She crouched in front of the fireplace, needlessly adding firewood, and didn't look at the film. She was dressed in a blue maid outfit, her hair was still tied up, and every line on her body warned Film, letting her know that she was in trouble again.

"I'm sorry, he hasn't been available lately. ”

"I'm sorry too. Ariana replied briefly.

She didn't give Filmin a chance to finish her opening remarks. "There's been a lot going on in the past few days that has kept Filmin very busy. ”

"What are you busy with?"

Filin sighed, knowing in his heart how the conversation would continue. "Those things I can't talk to you about. ”

"Of course. On the surface, her tone was calm and cold, but Filin knew that her anger was creeping in, and that he would ignite anger if he said a single wrong word, even if he didn't say anything, and it seemed that Filin still had to deal with his own problems directly.

"Ariana, he's here tonight because—"

"Oh, he knew there must be some special reason for you to finally come over. The only thing that surprised Filmin was myself, why was he here?

Why does Fei Lin go straight back to his room and wait for you when he is busy every day, knowing that the chances are slim but still expecting you to appear? In fact, Fei Lin can do other things, such as the recent performance of several bards and puppet shows, all arranged by His Majesty and the Prince.

Instead of going upstairs and facing the loneliness, Filin could sit around the small fireplace with the other servants and watch the show and enjoy the time with them.

Maybe I could have been busy with something else, like the cook promised to let Filmin use the kitchen when she wasn't busy, and Filmin had wick materials, herbs, and animal fat, and he should have used them well when the herbs were fragrant, but Filmin didn't.

Filmin just went upstairs and stayed here, knowing that the chances were slim but still hoping that you would remember Filmin and want to spend some time with Film. ”

Filmin withstood her waves of words like a rock on the seashore, but there was nothing she could do.

Everything she said was true, and he had to look down at his feet while she caught her breath.

When she spoke again, the anger in her tone faded, but worse, pain and discouragement replaced the anger.

"Kaz, it's really not easy. Every time he thinks he's accepted the facts, he turns a corner and finds himself in wait again. But there's nothing between people anymore, is there?

There will never be a moment that is entirely people's own, and there is no space for people to be themselves. She paused, lowered her head and bit her lower lip, her voice trembling when she spoke again.

"Filmin saw Hermione. She was so beautiful, and Filin even took the opportunity to talk to her...... Filin asked if they needed more candles in their room......

She replied shyly, but very kindly, and even thanked Filmin for caring so much about them, and no one here would thank the servant.

She was...... She's a nice person, she's a lady. Oh, they'll never let you marry Film, so why would you want to marry a servant?"

"You are not a servant to me," said Film, calmly, "Filmin never thought of you like that. ”

"So, what is he? I'm not a wife. She calmly pointed out.

"In Filin's heart, you are. Filin said to her bitterly.

It was the only sympathetic comfort that Filin could give her, and he was ashamed that she had accepted it. She walked over and rested her forehead on Firin's shoulder, and he hugged her tenderly, and after a while hugged her tighter.

As she snuggled into Filin's arms, he whispered softly to her hair, "Filin wants to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You have ...... Are you pregnant?"

"What?" she reached out and pushed away from Firin's embrace, looking up at Firin's face.

"Are you pregnant with Filin's baby?"

"I ...... No. No, he didn't. She paused, "Why did you suddenly ask about such a thing?"

"I'm just a little confused, that's all. Filmin is saying—"

"I know what you mean. If people get married, and Filmin is still not pregnant, the neighbors will shake their heads at them. ”

"Really?" Filmin never thought of that.

Filin knew that there were doubts about Floya's infertile because she hadn't been pregnant for a year since she got married, but her infertility was a public topic, and he didn't expect even his neighbors to have such high hopes for the newlyweds.

"Of course. At this point, someone will give Filin their mother's tea remedies, or wild boar tooth powder to add to your ale in the evening. ”

"Is that true?" said Film, holding her closer to Film, grinning silly.

"Hmm. She smiled back, and the smile faded slowly. "That's right. She said calmly, "Filin has taken other herbs to prevent herself from becoming pregnant. ”

Fei Lin hadn't forgotten what Starstar had taught that day. "I've heard that women get sick if they take that type of herb for a long time. ”

"Of course I know what I'm doing," she said in a flat tone, "and besides, is there any other option?" she added a little harshly.

"There is only disaster left. Filin admitted.

She nodded to Film. "Kaz, if Filin says 'yes' tonight, if Filin is pregnant...... What would you do?"

"Filin didn't know, he hadn't thought about it. ”

"Now think about it. She pleaded with Fillin.

Filmin said slowly: "I think I will...... Find a way to find a place for you somewhere (Filin will find Etro, he will find Borges, and ask them for help, he thought to himself), a safe place to stay away from Fort Stag, maybe on the river.

Film will take the time to see you and will find a way to take care of you. ”

"You're saying you're going to put Fihrin aside. Film, and ...... People's children. ”
