Chapter 1 Long Live Peace
"I was immersed in boundless fear! I was tormented by suffering! I endured boundless despair. In the Western-style Pavilion at No. 6 Fox Street, Pannis's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, he gritted his teeth and stared at the three girls in front of him, and complained hoarsely: "And the three of you have been laughing on the side! You are simply ashamed of my trust in you, you are simply inhumane, you are simply a group of demons!"
"Oh. Lina sat on the chaise longue in the living room with her legs crossed, heard Pannis's accusation, gently turned the page of the novel in her hand, and said casually: "Demon, I'm so scared. ”
"Especially you, Catherine. Pannis slapped the coffee table, pointed at Catherine and said, "A few minutes ago I was clearly in front of you, but a few minutes later you will die to me." ”
"Well, this black tea is good. Catherine elegantly took a cup of black tea, took a shallow sip, and said admiringly: "The taste is very mellow, it should be the best black tea from Seleuca Island." ”
"And you, Vivien. Pannis turned his attack to Vivien again: "You...... Forget it, you can't hear it. ”
Obviously, by the time Pannisy had fallen into a berserk, Vivien had completed her transition from a state of wakefulness to a state of contemplation, completely caught up in her own thoughts, and no matter how loud the outside world was, it could not interfere with her train of thought.
"That's how they all reacted. Pannis said bitterly, "Don't you feel a little guilty?"
"Well, the water is rippling. Catherine had already put the teacup back on the coffee table, this was when she saw a few ripples on the water surface in the teacup, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly, and she looked at Pannis with interest: "Guess, why does the water surface fluctuate?"
In the next moment, Pannis had disappeared into the living room, with only one window still open, proof that he had ever existed. "Knock knock", the ground trembled slightly, and the sound of violent and heavy footsteps quickly approached. The door of the entrance was opened with a bang, and Freya's oval body squeezed into the door, and while still in the entrance, she shouted, "Sisters, here I am again." Come out, Mr. Pannis, let's get married. ”
"You're late. Catherine took an empty teacup and poured a cup of black tea for Freya and set it aside: "He just slipped away, and you threw yourself into the air." ”
"It's a pity. Freya sat down on a chair with a thud, and the legs of the solid wood immediately let out a groan of pain. Completely ignore the deformed chair. Freya picked up the teacup, the small cup in her wide hand with an indescribable sense of joy. After taking a few sips of black tea with the same grace as Catherine, Freya sighed regretfully: "Next time, I must come early, I must see him." ”
It's been the third day since we returned to the City of Knowledge. Since the meeting between Wesker and Freya in the wilderness of the Neutral Land four days ago, the mission accepted by the party to protect the princess to reach Free City has completely failed, but since Freya is not sad about it, but is still happy, the girls no longer care about the failure of the mission. After teaching the culprit a lesson, he happily returned to the capital of knowledge. However, maybe not everyone is so happy, maybe someone is not so satisfied, but who cares about him.
Since then, Pannis's ordeal has begun. In the past few days, this scene has become a daily activity in the Western-style pavilion every morning. Every morning, Pannis cried out about his misery, and slipped away before Freya arrived. After everything is safe in the evening, he quietly returns, and the theme of the next round of accusations is brewed for the night.
"Are you ready to go back?" said Catherine, smiling as she looked at her old friend she hadn't seen in a while, though her appearance had changed. But all habits have not changed in the slightest, and I can't help but say very happily: "Are you ready to go on an adventure with us again?"
"I want to, too. Freya sighed: "But my studies are still a few months away, and when I move out of the teacher's place in a few months, I will move in directly, and we will fight together then." ”
"Do you know that the elders are doing this?" asked Catherine, puzzled, "He can't be at ease that you will leave the house and live outside." ”
"He doesn't dare refuse me now. Freya said indignantly, "I am very unhappy because of his deception. So I haven't given him a good face for a few days, and now I'm trying to coax me. Besides, he has nothing to worry about adventuring with you, especially after this time. ”
"What the hell was going on before?" asked Catherine, "You said you'd go back and ask the president about it, but now that you're asking for it, it's time to give us an explanation." ”
"Actually, it's quite simple. Freya explained: "I've already told you about it before, anyway, I was stupidly in love with Wesker, and then jumped out and confessed that he didn't speak at the time, I thought he was too excited to speak, but in fact he saw me like this and scared himself like that." ”
"How the hell did you come to be the way you are now? Catherine chuckled: "Is it really fat?"
"It's that simple. Freya puffed out her cheeks in distress and made a round grimace: "At first, I didn't expect that I was at the teacher's place at the time, and there was no one else around me to remind me, but by the time I found out, I was already very fat." Later, I thought that this would be fine, and it would also test the men who wanted to pursue me, so I simply continued. Sure enough, now once it is tested, the sincerity is tested. ”
"Forget it, find a way to get rid of you, that's a normal human reaction. Catherine pouted, "And didn't Pannis, too, run away when he saw you? ”
"Mr. Pannis, he's different. Freya said confidently: "Pannis first ran away when he saw me, and he didn't want to pursue me at all, so such a man is certainly worth pursuing." You don't understand how difficult it is to find your other half among thousands of living beings, and every step of the way is like walking through thorns, dancing on the tip of a knife, and if you are not careful, your heart will be pierced ......."
"Well, you'd better go ahead and talk about yourself. Catherine looked at the two girls beside her as if asking for help, reading a book, in a daze, there was no intention of helping at all, only her distressed self interrupted Freya's inner monologue: "What about after Wesker's proposal?"
"When I showed up to agree, my father agreed. Freya continued, "But as soon as I left, Wesker woke up from his shock and immediately said that everything he had just said didn't count, as if they hadn't come today. The father was very angry. I almost beat him with a stick on the spot like I did when I was a child. After all, my father knew his daughter, and my father knew that my heart was fragile and fragile, like the shadows of a tree swaying under the window at dusk. It's going to be messy, messy......"
"Bang", Vivien's staff reached out silently, and struck exactly on the top of Freya's head.
"Whew. Freya hugged her head and complained: "Eldest sister, look at her, how can she still knock me on the head in a contemplative state, and say that she has no reaction to the outside world?"
"This ......," Catherine said, holding her teacup. With a fluttering look in her eyes, she said, "Perhaps, knocking on your head has evolved into an instinct in her life." ”
"Do you have this instinct? Freya rebuked, "Also, why knock me on it turned out to be a power." ”
"Who knows, haha, don't worry about the details. Catherine waved her hand casually and changed the subject: "You should have said the key point just now, and then what?"
"My father was very angry and thought that this was not a bully, so of course he disagreed. Freya continued, "But Wesker was crying very sadly as he hugged his father's thigh, and his father couldn't bear it. Coupled with Uncle Carla's persuasion, he finally decided to give Wesker a chance, so he made a bet with Uncle Carla. ”
"Is it really a gamble?" Catherine said angrily and amusedly, "We actually guessed correctly at the time, what exactly are we betting on?"
"At that time, my father and Uncle Carla made a secret gambling contract, and no one else knew the contents. Freya said: "Actually, the bet has only a small content, specifically whether I can show up in the free city on time, and the bet is this marriage." If I can show up on time, then the wedding will have to go on, and it will be useless for Wesker to cry again, if something goes wrong on my side. Then the marriage contract shall be null and void. However, there is a supplementary clause in the gambling contract, which is that no party is allowed to know. ”
"So the president found us?" asked Catherine.
"Yes, my father seemed to know from the beginning that it was impossible to win, so he didn't try to win at all. Freya explained, "Father's purpose in seeking you is not really to protect me from victory. But he is afraid that I will be sad afterwards, and he knows that you will try to comfort me when I am sad. ”
"Hmph, so, from the beginning to the end, the president was using us to conceal the truth. Catherine snorted coldly and said with a hesitant face: "This time the president is too much. ”
"I'm sorry. Eldest sister. Freya clasped her hands together and smiled flatteringly, "Please don't be angry with my father, I apologize for him." ”
"Hey, aren't you having trouble with him?" Catherine said strangely, "Why, aren't you angry?"
"I'm afraid you'll be angry. Freya sighed, "It's definitely not a good feeling to be hidden all the way, I understand." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not that stingy. Catherine said amusedly, "Teasing you." ”
"Whew, then I'm relieved. Freya stood up and breathed a sigh of relief: "Since the eldest sister is not angry, then I will go back first." ”
"So early?" Catherine was stunned: "So much earlier than every day?"
"I have something to do today, so I'll go first. ”
The sound of the door opening and closing sounded, and Pannis then slipped in through the window like a thief: "Haha, finally gone, I'm resurrected!"
"Huh. Catherine pointed with a smirk, "I think you'd better look back before you're complacent." ”
Pannis's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said stiffly: "Kai, Catherine, you are getting better at joking, hahahaha." ”
"yes, I'm just kidding, hahahaha. Catherine held the teacup and said a few times in a flat tone: "Don't worry, on this day next year, I will offer flowers for you." ”
"Mr. Pennis!" The door to the living room slammed open, and Freya threw herself in with her arms outstretched and laughing, "Come with me to church!"
"Help. Pannis turned his head and ran like a back door: "Don't come here, I'm going to call the city guards when you come here, help." ”
"Whew, the world is truly peaceful. Catherine took another sip of black tea and narrowed her eyes pleasantly: "Long live peace." (To be continued.) )
