Heavy clouds gathered on all sides, weighing thicker and thicker on the top of the manor's great trees, and the oak trees rustled and shook their leaves, and then a few crows chirped in the distance.

The wind swept through the canopy, making a clattering sound, and the candlelight dimmed invariably, and the heavy shadow pressed on the black-haired knight's heart like a cold boulder of Fosen.

On both sides of the gallery outside the room, oil paintings of various styles were displayed, and Yare stood by the door on the right, staring at the oil painting on the wall, which was a portrait of the Virgin Cadia. Holding a white porcelain flask, she was giving Holy Dew to a group of people suffering from injuries and illnesses—a precious medicine in the sole hands of the Orthodox Church.

In this picture, the expression on Kadia's holy face is no longer sad, but also not happy, and her eyes are looking deeply ahead, as if thinking about an unsolvable problem, and as if with infinite fighting spirit.

“......”

The black-haired knight stared at Cadia in distraction, he was not a religious himself, he had never been to a church a few times since he was so old, and like his grandfather, he maintained the ancient tradition of worshipping his ancestors.

Therefore, it is natural that he has no interest in religious knowledge at all, and of course he does not know the deeds of the saint Cadia, and he is not interested in knowing. But since he went to see the legendary crying statue of Kadia with the little nurse two days ago, he has developed a strong desire to learn about the life of this holy woman.

By looking through the history of religion, Vesta was able to find the date of the birth and death of the Holy Woman, and the accounts of her were all the same praise - the glorious daughter of Christ, with unconquerable courage and infinite affection. The virtue of the simple. The wisdom of the upright, and so on. There is little record of what this saint did. Even to the extent of deliberately concealing it, he was very curious.

The little nurse still brought him three meals a day, chatted with him to relieve his boredom, and took him to all corners of the manor. This girl is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and her heart is all on her little face, it is hard to imagine where her sincere motivation comes from, is it just pure faith?

It was overcast for a while. Finally, it began to rain heavily, and the sound of rain washing was everywhere. There were still two thunderclaps in the depths of the sky from time to time, and the cold electric light reflected on the walls, and even the Kadia Saintess in the painting looked a little gloomy.

Bang ......

A series of hurried footsteps came from the stairs below, and soon the little nurse appeared in the hallway with an oil lamp and a trembling figure.

She cautiously explored with the light before slowly leaning against the wall and seeing the black-haired knight. Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he called in a sweet voice like an apple:

"Sir!"

"Alas. It's you again. ”

Aree pretended to have just spotted her, and at the same time looked surprised.

"Why am I again? I just got here. The little nurse froze in place, and after a few seconds, she trembled again, and her little face was full of unease.

"No, no, no, I saw you two minutes ago, and you gave me a question. ”

"What's the problem?" she shivered even more, and subconsciously approached the attendant behind her, the big crow.

Ever since she was shocked by the black-haired knight with a terrified force field, this crow, which the girl called the big black, has become her little follower, and she is inseparable all day long.

"You don't remember where your room is, you just passed by with me yesterday, how could I forget. ”

"You won't really tell it!?" asked the little nurse, with a mist rising from her bright pupils, and a trembling cry.

"Of course ......"

Yalei deliberately prolonged her tone, and when she saw that she pursed her mouth aggrievedly and was about to cry, she stopped teasing and strengthened her tone and said affirmatively:

Actually, I didn't think there was anything wrong with her, she was wet, her skin was pale, and she was cold, so I drove her away. When you came over just now, I thought it was her again. ”

"Thank you so much. She said from the bottom of her heart.

"Hahaha, you're welcome. He first put on an expression of "trivial things are not worth mentioning", and then asked, "By the way, it's still morning, why did you come here?"

"Because, thunder...... So......" The little nurse lowered her head shyly and stared at her toes nervously.

"Understood. ”

Yalei couldn't bear to continue teasing her, so he pushed open the door next to him and knocked on the doorframe:

"Then come in and sit down. ”

"Hmm. She answered obediently, and walked into the room with her attendant.

The two sat facing each other on either side of the coffee table, and the crow called Big Black hid behind the little nurse, and in the eyes of this big bird, there was nothing more terrifying than the human opposite.

"I'll sing you a song. She volunteered to puff up her chest.

"Okay. Unconsciously, he has fallen in love with this little cutie from the bottom of his heart.

Soon, in the dim light, a sweet voice sounded softly, and the little nurse held her hands in front of her chest, raised her pretty face, and sang a melodic nursery rhyme.

The girl's pure singing voice is like a heavenly sound, diluting the darkness of the haze.

Even the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be infected and began to slowly dissipate, and the rain gradually became smaller, until finally only the sound of stagnant water flowing into the sewers.

The bright sunlight gradually shone into the interior from the window, projecting two figures, one large and one small, on the wall, getting closer and closer, just like the hearts of the two.

"Does that sound good?" she said, looking both shy and expectant.

"Very good!" he complimented.

"I have a treasure to show you. The little nurse said mysteriously with a smile on her face.

"I'm looking forward to your treasures. ”

"Hmm!"

She happily jumped out of her seat, ran to the big black behind her, took out a package from the backpack on the back of the big crow, and held it in front of Yalei like a treasure:

"Want to see it?"

"I want to see it!" he nodded very cooperatively, making an interested expression.

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

The girl smiled so much that her eyes turned into two crescents, the corners of her mouth turned into graceful arcs, and she shook it proudly in her hand, and only after the black-haired knight made a gesture that she wanted to snatch it, she took a step back briskly and carefully opened the package.

In the center of the girl's small hand, half a crystal emits a pure light, a crystal clear orange-yellow, sparkling in the sunlight.

The moment he saw the crystal, the relaxed smile on the black-haired knight's face disappeared in an instant, his whole body trembled like an electric shock, his pupils stared at the crystal, his throat seemed to be blocked by some heavy object, and he couldn't speak.

"It's a magic gem that can suck away sadness and sadness!"

The little nurse didn't notice his expression, walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window as if to show off, put the crystal in the sunlight, and pressed her face on. Looking at the colorful halo refracted by the crystal, her big eyes suddenly brightened, and her face was as bright as the clear sky in spring:

"Every time I feel sad and sad, just look at it and the mood gets better, it must have a magical magic......!

She deliberately walked slowly to Yalei's side, held half a crystal in the palm of her hand, and handed it to him:

"I'll lend it to you, it's just to lend it to you, you can't take it away!"

“......”

The black-haired knight stretched out his slightly trembling right hand and spread the gem in the palm of his hand, and on the facet of the yellow crystal, a line of rugged characters appeared in the field of vision - Louise.

Sure enough, it's you......

Louise ...... It's your name, isn't it?" he asked, muffled his hoarse voice, pretending to be calm.

"Well, does it sound good?" replied the little nurse vigorously, looking at him hopefully.

"Very nice to hear...... Come here, let me take a closer look at you!"

Yalei gently grabbed the girl's delicate wrist and dragged her in front of him, his expression unprecedentedly gentle: "Louise...... Sergeant Gerin Bond, your father...... I ...... with him."

He choked for a while, and didn't know what to say, did he want to tell this girl the cruel reality?

"Do you know him?"

The little nurse showed a happy expression, held her left hand to her heart, and said longingly: "My father, like you, is a great hero. ”

At this point, her bright eyes dimmed:

"Obviously it had been agreed, but he didn't come back, just like his mother. ”

She knows...... She knew it all along......

"But it doesn't matter, I don't feel lonely and sad, because with this crystal, every time I look at its light, it's like Mom and Dad smiling in heaven. They must be watching me, and as long as it's there, Louise won't be sad anymore. ”

The little nurse picked up the jewel from the black-haired knight's hand and placed it in front of his eyes, and a bright smile returned to his face:

"I'll lend it to you. ”

Through the mottled and transparent crystals, the pure smile on Louise's face was refracted into many pieces, and in the pale golden sunlight, the holy one seemed to be an angel.

"Is there any reason for Louise to work so hard?" he asked.

"Because I want to help more people like you, you and Dad are the same heroes, but heroes can also get hurt. So, Louise will talk to you, sing to you, and find a way to heal you. ”

The little nurse shook the gem in front of his eyes, then took it to her lips seriously, and blew gently: "The pain has been sucked in by magic, and now Louise is going to blow them away, so that you will not be sad." ”

"It's not going to be sad anymore...... Because, little Louise, she has done me the best magic yet. ”

Yalei looked at the concern in the girl's eyes, and held her in his arms in distress, and before he knew it, the darkness as deep as the abyss in his eyes had disappeared without a trace. (To be continued......)
