When he was almost washed, and a maid had already brought clean clothes, Dio slowly stood up, stepped out of the pool, and after the two maids wiped his body clean, he walked to the dresser, picked up the clothes, put them on one by one, and then walked out.

Sophia was no longer in the drawing-room, and Theo groaned slightly, according to Sophia's habit, she should have gone to that place.

In the entire manor, there are two forbidden places that are not allowed to be trespassed on at will, one is Sophia's small building, and the other is the graveyard of Dio's parents.

Sure enough, when they walked to the back of the manor, they saw Sophia's guards standing in front of the cemetery, and when they saw Dio coming, they did not stop them, but divided to the left and right, and made a way.

Dio pushed open the courtyard door, and then closed the courtyard door tightly, cutting off a pair of eyes, there is only one main grave in the cemetery, that is the grave of Dio's parents, there are more than a dozen small graves piled up behind it, that is the grave of the old butler Fucre and the domestic servants, in the cold moonlight, you can clearly see Sophia sitting in the grass, her hands on her knees, looking at the grave bag in front of her, and there is a bouquet of snow-white lilies on the grave bag.

Every time she returned, Sophia would come to pay homage to the old butler Fulcre, and each time she would offer white lilies, and the question of the season was not difficult for her, as long as she had money, she could always buy them.

Hearing the footsteps, Sophia didn't look back, but whispered, "Dio, come and sit with me for a while." ”

Dio walked up to Sophie and sat down slowly, this is the main reason why he regards Sophia as a friend, Sophia came to worship the old butler Fulcre, by no means to show her kindness and gratitude, with her status, there is no need for this, everything comes from her sincerity.

The two of them had been sitting there silently, Dio was used to silence, Sophia was used to Dio's silence, neither of them spoke.

I don't know how long it took, Sophia whispered, "Dio, do you know why I always want to come here?"

Dio still didn't speak, he knew Sophia would continue, as it had been before.

"Actually...... I've almost forgotten what Uncle Fulcre looked like, and even if I tried to think about it, I could only recall a vague shadow. Sophia said quietly.

Dio's eyes fluctuated, and his memory was also not clear, after all, it was too long.

"I've almost forgotten the sadness I was facing. Sophia let out a long sigh: "Time...... It's horrible, it's going to make some ...... I thought that the indelible emotion of my life disappeared without a trace, and I didn't want to do that. ”

Dio glanced sideways at Sophia, her white, flawless cheeks glowing with a holy glow in the moonlight.

"So, I have to come here. Sophia said slowly: "Here, I will not only think of Uncle Fulkre, but also many, many things that must never be forgotten. ”

Dio still didn't speak, he had been Sophia's best listener before, and he was the same now.

"Perhaps, everyone only has one chance to make mistakes, I have missed once, it was Uncle Fulk who gave me a second chance and gave me a new life. Sophia suddenly raised her voice, as if to affirm herself: "I must not make any more mistakes, I must not make Uncle Funkre's sacrifice meaningless, Dior, we will live well." ”

Dio lowered his head slowly.

"Dio, come here, let me lean on you, okay?" Sophia's voice softened again.

Dio leaned over to Sophia, who leaned over and rested her head on Theo's shoulder.

If an unwitting outsider breaks in, he must think that Sophia and Dio in the moonlight are a pair of lovers, but in fact, the distance between the hearts of the two people is very far away, even if Sophia has agreed to marry Theo, she can't deny the estrangement in her heart.

Sofia would spit out her bitterness on Theo, and that's all, since she walked out of the manor with great perseverance and prepared to fight for her future, what she had experienced, what she had done, and what her plans for the future were, Dio didn't know. And Dio also has his own secrets, where did the "Divine Codex" come from, who that stranger is, why did he provoke such a terrible opponent, and how to take revenge in the future, there are too many things that he needs to dig up, and he will not say these to Sophia either.

In Sophia's view, Dio is just a poor person who has become autistic due to a painful experience, she doesn't want Dio to be frightened, and she firmly believes that she can carry all the burdens and create a happy future for herself and Dio;

The bodies of the two people are very close, but the two hearts are far away.

Sophia was silent for a long time, slowly narrowed her eyes, and said in an almost dreamlike tone: "Do you know Dio? I feel very tired, all these years...... I've said a lot of things and done a lot of things against my will, but what can I do...... If I want to protect myself, I can only be them and integrate into their society. ”

Dio looked pensive, something was wrong with Sophia today, she looked extremely vulnerable, as if she was about to make a life-or-death decision, or was under extreme pressure.

"Sometimes, I really want to give up and take you to a place where no one can find you, and live our life in peace. Sophia slowly raised her head and opened her eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky, her eyes were full of sadness: "But on the mainland...... Where can I find a quiet place?"

Dio knew what he should say, and now Sophia was depressed, which was not a good sign, at least, he hoped that after he left, Sophia could live a happy life and not be a loser.

"I remember that saying. Dio said softly: "Don't give up when you're tired, strength comes from desire." ”

Sophia's body suddenly became stiff, she left Dio little by little, and her eyes turned to Dio little by little, strength comes from longing, this sentence should not be said by the autistic Dio.

When the eyes of the two people collided, Sophia's expression became even more shocked, Dio's eyes were bright and powerful, sharp and sharp, and the previous dullness and wood did not know when it disappeared without a trace.

"Theo, you...... You ......" Sophia's voice trembled slightly.

Dio smiled, he didn't hide himself anymore, Sophia had been fighting alone for so long, and he hoped to give Sophia some encouragement.

Sophia was speechless, and only stared at Dio as if she had been transformed into a statue.

Dio was a little hairy and coughed lightly, "Ahem...... Sophia, what's wrong?"

Sophia's body arched like a kitten, and the next moment she pounced on Dio, if Dio was really a weak young master, he would definitely knock him to the ground on the spot.

Sophia clasped her hands around Dio's neck and whispered incoherently, "Dio, are you really willing to come out of the shadows......?" Great, Dio, really good...... Oh my God......" In the midst of the whispering, two lines of hot tears ran down Sophia's cheeks, wetting Dior's sideburns in the blink of an eye.

Dio's heartstrings were plucked heavily, and in his impression, Sophia had always been dignified and elegant, but now she had become so forgetful and out of shape, which was enough to prove how much Sophia valued herself.

Just thinking about his unforgettable enemy, Dio's eyes were clouded again, and in the end, he only stretched out his hand and gently patted Sophia's shoulder, facing the uncertain future, he had no energy to think about other things, let alone drag Sophia down.

"Great...... Wonderful......" Sophia was still muttering, she had tried her best to find countless healers over the years, but hope was born again and again, and again and again shattered, just when she was completely dead, ready to survive the long years and silently wait for Dio to recover, Dio miraculously came out of her autism, which made her extremely happy.

Although Dio's face can maintain normalcy, but his heart has uncontrollably set off a wave of waves, although the two of them have reservations about each other, but they have been in contact for too long, the so-called long-term love, this feeling is far deeper than they thought, and it is much heavier.

Especially Sophia, when she was a child, she insisted on sleeping with Dio, not because of the change of seasons, but because her heart needed warmth, and the warmth she felt from Dio had long been integrated into the depths of her soul, and there was nothing to replace.

Dio was silent, and the hand that was gently patting Sophia's shoulder suddenly paused, and then stroked Sophia's hair.

Sophia raised her body, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and then held Dio with both hands, observing carefully, her smile was still full of charm, and the tearful eyes made her a little more poignant, for any normal man, knowing that Sophia had just cried for herself, and seeing Sophia's current appearance, it would really be heartbreaking, the problem is, Dio is not a normal person, his face is as usual, giving people the feeling that there are only two words, one is quiet, and the other is light.

"Dio, I knew you would help me!" Sophia said softly.

"I ...... I don't think I helped you anything. ”

"No, you are stepping out of the shadows at this time, which is the greatest help to me. Sophia's smile was sweet: "You know, I've never been more confident than I am now, you have given me the best omen......! I'm also worried that they are already very dissatisfied with the financial power of the barony, and if they form an armed merchant group, they will definitely touch their bottom line, hehe...... Now I'm not afraid, two clowns, I see what they can do?!"
