It's easier to go down than up. In fact, when an arm is injured, it can be dangerous to slide down.

Filmin looked down at the waves in the distance that hit the stones like white lace.

Nighteye was right, the sky was shining with a little moonlight. The rope slid through Film's gloved hand, making Film's injured arm have to bear Film's weight, causing Filmin to scream in pain.

A little harder, he promised himself, and then took two steps down.

Ariana's ledge was narrower than Filin had expected. Filin wrapped the rope around his arm for a moment's rest, and then easily slid the blade into the gap in the blind, which was not a solid device anyway, and the hook above it was loose.

As he tried to loosen the hook below, her voice came from inside the room.

"If you come in, Filin will yell and the guards will come over. ”

"Then you'd better make tea and greet them. Filmin replied coldly, continuing to twist the window hook underneath.

In a few moments Ariana opened the blinds with all her might, and stood straight in front of them, the fire dancing in the fireplace shining from behind her.

She was dressed in her pajamas, but she hadn't tied her hair back up, her neatly combed hair was fluffy and shiny, and a shawl was draped over her shoulders.

"Go away!" she said to me angrily, "get out of here!"

"No," said Filin breathlessly, "Filin didn't have the strength to climb back, and the rope wasn't long enough to reach the bottom. ”

"You can't come in. She stubbornly repeated.

"Good. Filin simply sat on the windowsill and put one foot into the room, the other hanging out of the window. Then a gust of wind blew, ruffling her pajamas and blowing the fire in the fireplace. Filmin was silent. After a while she began to tremble.

"What exactly do you want?" she asked angrily.

"You. Fei Lin wants to tell you that I will go and ask the king for permission to marry you. Fei Lin said without thinking, and suddenly he realized that he could speak freely and do whatever he wanted.

Ariana glared at Filin, and after a while said in a deep voice, "I don't want to marry you." ”

"I don't want to tell him about that. Filmin noticed himself grinning at her.

"You're unbearable!"

"Yes. And it's cold now, please at least let Filmin in to avoid the cold. ”

She didn't say yes, but she stepped back from the window, and she jumped into the room briskly, completely ignoring the wound on her arm.

Filin closed the blinds and tied them tightly, then walked to the fireplace at the other end of the room to add firewood to ward off the cold, then stood up to face the fire and thawed his hands.

Ariana stood straight and silent, arms crossed over her chest, and he looked at her with a smile.

She didn't smile. "You should leave. ”

Filin felt his smile fade. "Ariana, please speak to me. Fei Lin thought that after the last time people talked, they already knew each other, but now you don't talk to me and ignore Fei Lin...... Filin didn't know what had changed, and he didn't know what was going on between people. ”

"It's all right," she suddenly looked vulnerable, "there's nothing between people, and nothing will happen, Kaz Silverlight." The name came out of her mouth, and it didn't sound like a habit.

Filmin thought about it during this time.

If you came to Filin a week or a month ago as recklessly and with a smile on your face, he knew he would budge. She allowed herself to smile sullenly, as if she were thinking of a child who had died in a hurry in the summer years ago.

"But you didn't. Your ideas are correct and practical, and you haven't done anything wrong. But Filin felt hurt by it.

That's silly to say. Filmin tells himself that if you love Filmin as much as you said before, there is nothing that can stop you from coming to see Film.

Walls won't stop you, and you won't care about the rules of manners, reputation, and etiquette.

You came that night when people ...... But things haven't and haven't changed. You didn't come back. ”

"But it's all for your own good, to protect your reputation......" Filin explained helplessly to her.

"Don't make a sound. Filmin told you that it was silly, but it doesn't feel like there's wisdom in it, it's feeling. Your love for Filin is not wise, and so is my care for you. Filmin later understood, and at the same time understood that reason must triumph over feeling. She sighed.

"When your uncle talked to Filin, I was very angry, and I was so angry.

He gives Filmin the courage to defy everything, and he also makes Filmin steely determined to maintain the relationship between people, but Filmin is not a stone after all, and even if Filmin is as stubborn as a stone, he will be eroded by cruel and ruthless reason. ”

"Uncle Filin, do you mean Your Majesty's Prince?" I couldn't believe the betrayal.

She nodded slowly. He hoped that Mr. Filin would not reveal his visit, and that even if he did, it wouldn't be of much help. He had to think about the interests of the whole family, and said that Filin should be able to understand.

Filin understood, but he really made Filin very angry, but it also made Filin gradually discover what was best for me. ”

She paused, then stroked her cheek with her hand, and she cried, tears quietly streaming down her mouth as she spoke.

Filin walked up to her and tentatively embraced her into his arms, much to Filin's surprise that she didn't refuse. Fihrin held her cautiously like a fragile butterfly, and she rested her forehead on Filin's shoulder before speaking into Firin's chest.

"In a few months, Filmin will be able to save enough money to become self-reliant again, not to open a store, but to rent a house somewhere and find a job that can feed Film, and then he can save the money to open a store, which is what Filmin wants to do.

Mrs. Starlight is very good, and Rem also becomes a friend of Film, but Filmin doesn't like to be a servant, and she won't stay forever. She stopped, tired and trembling in Firin's arms, looking like she didn't know what to say.

"What did my uncle say to you?" asked Filin, cautiously.

"Oh. She swallowed and moved her head slightly on Film, thinking she might be wiping her tears from Film's shirt.

"Those were the things that Filin expected him to say to me.

He was callous when he first came to see Film, and he guessed he thought Filmin was a ...... Street prostitutes. He sternly warns King Filin not to allow any scandal and asks if Filin has a child. I replied angrily that it was impossible for him to get pregnant because people didn't have ...... at all"

Ariana paused, he could feel the humiliation she had suffered in the face of such a question. He then tells Filin that this is all right, and asks Filin what he thinks he deserves to compensate for your deception. ”

It was like a knife twisting in Film's intestines, and I grew angry, but forced myself to remain silent, because Filmin wanted to hear her finish.

"Filin told him that Filin didn't want anything, because Filin cheated on himself just as you cheated on me.

Then he wanted to give Filmin money to stay away from the place, so that Filmin would not mention anything about you or people. ”

She spoke bitterly, her voice sharper and tighter, but she managed to keep her composure.

"He gave Fihrin enough money to open a candle shop, but I was angry and told him that he wouldn't stop loving someone just because he took the money, because if money could make Filin decide to love or not to love someone, then I was really indescribable.

Although he was very angry, he left. She suddenly shuddered and cried, and then suppressed herself.

Filin gently placed his hand on her shoulder to feel the tightness, then stroked her hair, which was softer and shinier than any horsehair. She stopped talking.

"Your Majesty always wants to hurt people," Filin heard himself say, "he wants to hurt Filin by driving you away, and disgrace Filin by hurting you." Filmin shook his head to himself, wondering how he could be so clumsy. "Filmin should have seen it sooner.

All that Fihrin thinks about is that he might go around saying bad things about you, or causing you physical harm. However, Borges is right, this man has not the slightest ethics and does not follow any rules. ”

"He was cold, but not rude. He said that he had only come as the king's emissary to prevent the scandal and that the less people knew about it, the better, because he wanted to avoid the gossip of others.

After a few conversations, he said that he was sorry to see Filin in trouble, and that he would tell the king that Filin had not planned all this, and even that he would buy Filin's candles and let the others know that Filin was selling candles.

Filin believed that he was trying to help him, Kaz Silverglow, and perhaps he thought so too. ”

Hearing her defend His Majesty was more heart-wrenching than any insults and accusations she had against her.

Fihrin carefully removed the fingers that were wrapped around her hair. Your Majesty. In the past few weeks, Filin has deliberately avoided her alone, not talking to her or disturbing her in order to avoid scandal, but has given His Majesty a chance.

Instead of courting her, he used his charm and well-crafted words to make her forget about Film, who could not contradict him on the spot.

He even volunteered to be her partner, but he became a hairy boy with nothing to say and thoughtless, a brainless villain. Filyn bit her tongue and did not allow herself to speak ill of His Majesty in front of her, for it would only sound like a superficial angry brat fighting back against someone who thwarted his will.

"Did you mention to Constellation or Rem that His Majesty came to you, and what did they say?"

She shook her head, her hair smelling fragrant from the shake. He reminded Filin not to tell anyone.
