49. Studio
The blue imperial flag was planted in the flower bed in the center of the fountain pool, and in the strong midday sun, Lycia covered her eyebrows with her right hand, waiting for Dimitri to speak.
"Maybe your heraldic power is a little different. Dimitorius's right finger plunged into the water of the fountain. Yesterday's change of circle was timely, and only the residential areas on the edge of the city of Sufaro were badly damaged.
The castle lord's mansion has not changed much, except for the traces of the boar people running past.
"Yes. Lycia nodded.
"Not from the power of the sun goddess? where is that, I think, related to your coat of arms. Dimitoli pointed to his neck, then to Lycia. "Let me see your heraldic pattern. ”
Lycia lifted her blonde hair, and the floral heraldic on the side of her neck was imprinted on the snow-white skin, which had a strong visual impact.
Dimitri approached, and Lycia smelled aggressiveness.
His shoulders were almost close to the tip of Lycia's nose.
Dimitri lowered his head, but did not dare to look at Lycia's neck, but lowered his eyes and met her with innocent eyes.
The intense sunlight shone on Dimitoli's pale golden drooping eyelashes.
The sudden heaviness of her breathing made Lycia feel a little unnatural, and her heart was a little out of control.
I can't be fooled, and now he's wondering if my power comes from the darkness. Lycia struggled to keep herself sane, and she went to pay attention to Dimitri's favorability, which was close to fifty percent.
This way allows Lycia to see him as an unreal person, and to quantify emotions will calm Lycia.
Dimitri couldn't control the emotions surging in his chest, and he could almost conclude that Lycia's power was different from the others.
She always has the ability to surprise and always catches his full attention.
Now, for example, his right hand was slowly pulled out of the pool, his wet fingers stroking the hair of Lycia's sideburns.
Lycia couldn't help but shudder, and Dimitri's right hand immediately held her head to the side.
"It's just a flower. The young heir to the empire took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again.
"I don't know why, Your Highness, I have been loyal to the Sun Goddess from the moment I was born. Lycia took a step back.
Dimitorius withdrew his hands behind his back. "Until the problem is cleared up, at least don't let anyone else know that you can't activate the Goddess Circle. ”
He stepped forward and looked at Lycia with a frown, and although his heart fluctuated very emotionally, Dimitri still said in a very cold voice. "Why, your movements and eyes are afraid that I will kiss you? Lycia, you will inherit the title of duke in the future, don't pay attention to love all day long, read more. ”
After saying this, Dimitri coughed twice, and still with his hands behind his back, he left the fountain very unnaturally and walked in the direction of the castle.
Lycia's face was full of inexplicability. 'Obviously he meant it himself!!'
About fifty soldiers were sent from the cities of the upper reaches of Sufaro, and the lord of the city was placed under house arrest in his bedroom.
Pierrot, the son of the lord of the city who turned into a boar man, did not know where he had gone, and searched the city for a long time, but found no trace of him.
Even Troy could not have predicted the existence of Pierrot.
"Didn't smell anything, Your Highness. "The general of the Sufaro garrison of the hound's coat of arms was a gray-haired man, in good spirits, wearing a gray-brown suede coat with a shiny silver button on his chest.
Even the search for Pierrot through smell was unsuccessful.
"This must be a conspiracy against you, though. "Although Bob, who was over sixty years old, was a nobleman, the title of viscount in his family was not passed on to him, and he sat all the way to the position of general of the defending army by virtue of his own ability, but because of the inaction of the city lord, he failed to achieve his great revenge in this life.
This kind of thing happened and Bob's long-cooled heart burned again.
There must be someone who is not good for the Empire, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs him, and the Empire also needs him.
"Your Highness, but I found the footprints of the wild boar man, even though they were not so obvious after the rain, but I still found a series of footprints next to a studio. Bob said.
When Lycia heard about the studio, she felt that it was a little too reasonable. "What's going on inside the studio? She couldn't help but interject.
"This is a strange place, it is too normal, there are no traces or smells, the master of the studio said that after noticing any movement in the city last night, he has been closing the gate tightly, the rain is too loud, and there is no footsteps, and they have no intersection with the city lord's house. Bob didn't understand why a lady would interject at such a moment, but he was about to talk about it.
Dimitoli smiled and appreciated the seriousness of the Imperial veteran. "Duke of Troy, if you have time, go with this Mr. Bob to the place where the footprints were found. ”
Lycia came to her senses and said immediately. "I'll go too. ”
Dimitoli, who had planned to take her to the Circle Stage, also answered. "I'm with you, too. ”
On both sides of the road in Sufaro, the people did not look like they had been frightened last night.
The possibility of being infested by strange beasts has long been the norm in this town.
"Fish, fruits, fish!" were not as diverse as those on Hailland, and the hawkers looked tired.
"To be honest, I don't think we have gained anything from this trip. "Troy likes to talk to beautiful girls, which makes him feel that no matter how difficult life is, it is sweet.
"Have faith in yourself, Mr. Troy. "Lycia finds it easier to talk to a playboy like Troy than to talk to Dimitri.
"Oh, since you've said that, there's no reason I shouldn't believe myself, right?" Troy somehow got a flower and handed it to Lycia. "Thank you for your concern. ”
"Troy, you have Viscount Fudomi. A hand took the flower before Lycia. "Is it up front?"
Dimitoli pretended nothing had happened and asked Bob, who had just stopped.
Lycia and Troy looked at each other and smiled.
The studio is a two-story wooden structure, with chickens running around at the door, and children sitting on the ground playing.
Dimitorius picked up the sign that had hung in the doorway, with a broken hemp rope in place. "Sun Studio. Very common name. ”
"Master officer, would you like to come in and have some hot tea?" a woman in a coarse cloth apron grabbed the running child and looked at Lycia and the group with a sad face.
Troy stepped forward, and in the face of such vicissitudes, he swallowed a teasing and humorous remark. "Ma'am, did you really stay in the house last night and didn't see any other creatures? There are no anomalies in the store either. ”
He was predicting what the woman would do after they left.
"No, sir. I swear. She even looked at Troy with sincere eyes, and after a while went back to see Bob. "Please, Mr. Officer, life is hard enough, we can't afford to pay the rent, please don't come here again and again, you have scared away several guests in the morning. ”
