Chapter 17: The Toad
Dio's heart was a little heavy, and he regarded his normality as a good omen, which proved that Sophia didn't have much confidence, perhaps, she really didn't worry about the interference caused by the two young masters, but the attitude of the Baron was a little unpredictable, Sophia had too much, and the Baron was just over forty years old, so he could let Sophia seize power?
"Okay, let's not talk about these annoying things. Sophia smiled: "Are you cold? Why don't you wear more?"
Sophia's smiling eyes are still so innocent, the two of them have just made intimate movements, and Sophia's expression should not remain normal. At this moment, she and Dio can be friends, they can be brother and sister, but they are definitely not real lovers, with love, there will be **, with **, it will be impossible for her to remain normal, at least she will feel shy.
"I'm fine. Dio shook his head.
"Sit with me for a while, and you won't go back to your yard today, but come to me." Sophia said softly.
"Good. "Dio didn't say superfluous nonsense, there was no need between him and Sophia.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Dio had already woken up from his sleep, and as long as he opened his eyes, he would immediately practice, but Vasily warned him that after breaking through a bottleneck, he had to try to maintain his state of mind, and it was best not to cultivate, and he could only recover when the source power wheel was completely stable after ten days and a half months, that is, he had ten days of free time.
Sitting up and dressing, Dio walked to the door of the inner bedroom, where the bed he slept in was originally Belil's, and Belil was severely punished and then driven to Brigitte, and Sophia did not want to see Belil.
The door to the inner bedroom was not closed, and it was clear that inside, Sophia was curled up on the bed like a kitten, her long, thick pale blonde hair scattered and shining seductively in the candlelight.
This is Sophia's habit, she never extinguishes the candle when she sleeps because she is afraid of the dark.
Dio stood in the doorway for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked lightly outside.
Walking out of the bedroom and down the stairs, he was met by several maids, whose expressions were a little strange, as if they did not dare to look at Dio, and turned their eyes away.
Sophia let Dio rest in his bedroom, which is a very easy thing to criticize, Sophia can not be afraid, but the maids can't do it, in case of trouble outside, the baron is angry about it, and will definitely vent his anger on them.
Stepping out of the small building, Dio walked forward along the stone-paved path, turned around and walked into a small courtyard, in front of the door of the main house, there were several samurai, and they looked a little surprised when they saw Dio walk in, but no one here would interfere with Dio's freedom, even Brigitte, who was bent on killing Dio some time ago.
Dio didn't look at the warriors, he pushed open the door and walked in, through the antechamber, and then into the bedroom.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two girls lying on the bed hurriedly raised their heads, and when they saw Dio, they both showed surprised looks.
"Young Master......" Brigitte struggled to get up, but as soon as she moved, her face suddenly turned pale, and she let out a muffled snort.
"Don't move. Dio said softly.
"Thanks to your ...... yesterday" Brigitte muttered, "Otherwise, Belle and I would have ...... by now" Brigitte still didn't give up her efforts, trying to get up from the bed, but the wound left on her back had just scarred, and when she moved slightly, it hurt terribly, and in the blink of an eye, a row of fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead.
"You're not bad people, it's just that ......" Dio smiled, and then changed the subject, knowing that Brigitte was trying to express gratitude, his tone was much softer than before: "Don't move, if the wound is torn, the scar will not be removed." ”
"Young Master, did Miss ask you to come?" Hearing that there was a possibility of a scar, Brigitte was really honest, she lay down at the head of the bed, and looked at Dio with hopeful eyes.
"Sophia is still sleeping, don't worry, she'll be coming to see you too. Theo said.
"Miss...... Will Miss really forgive us?" Brigitte couldn't believe it.
"Who hasn't made mistakes?" said Theo, who didn't want to gossip anymore and was ready to get straight to business.
"Belier, what are you thinking?" Brigitte shouted, "Don't hurry up and thank the young master!"
Belier's expression is extremely complicated, expressing gratitude to Dio, which does not match her heart, it can be said that at this moment, she still does not think that she is wrong, if Miss Sophia really marries Dio, it is an irreparable mistake;
"This is the first time you've been back since you followed Sophia out of the manor. Belil's silence did not cause Dior to displeasure, and he pleaded not for Belil, but for the sake of what he owed less.
"Yes. Belle replied with a low brow.
Because Sophia was worried about what would happen to the barony during the period of returning to the manor, so every time she was ready to return, she would leave Belil there, Belil and Brigitte originally had the same starting point, but now, there has been a big gap in their status, and their knowledge, experience, and courage are very different, which can be regarded as making people.
"I want to ask you something. Dio said slowly: "This matter is very important to me and to Sophia. ”
"You...... What do you want to ask?" Belier hesitated, but still used the honorific title.
"When you just heard that Sophia agreed to marry me, you should have felt unworthy and sorry for Sophia, and you may have been very disgusted with me, but now you are bent on killing me, and this transformation should have a process. Dio looked at Belil lightly: "I want to know, when did you start hating me?"
"I'm ......" Belle blinked, she could understand what Theo meant, but the shift seemed to come naturally.
"Think about it. Theo said.
Belier frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook her head, she couldn't remember what the point was, and she didn't know how to answer.
"I can remind you. Dio said: "Perhaps, after talking to someone, you suddenly feel that I am much more hateful than you imagined, my existence will bury Sophia's happiness, if you want to get rid of all this, if you want to save Sophia, I must die." ”
Belier's eyes suddenly trembled, and she whispered in an uncertain tone, "Yes...... Baron Jim?"
"Think again, is that him?"
Belle hesitated for a moment and nodded, but it was just such a small movement, which also touched her wounds, and her face became as ugly as Brigitte's, but she still barely spoke: "It's him." ”
"What did he tell you?" asked Dio.
"He said that Mademoiselle was a true nobleman, kind, just, and compassionate, and had received a little favor from others, and was even willing to give everything in return, but the price was too great, and he said......"
"Needless to say. Dio smiled, it was the Baron Jim who started it.
Brigitte was carefully observing Dio's face, when Dio threatened to kill her, her eyes were full of terrible hideousness, she couldn't forget that scene, and now, she vaguely guessed Dio's intentions, Belil may have been used, Baron Jim was the one who really wanted to put Dio to death, but she couldn't figure out why Dio's expression hadn't changed at all.
"Recuperate in peace, these things have nothing to do with you. Theo said, and walked slowly outside.
"Huh?" Belier looked at Dio's back in confusion, she hadn't finished her words yet!
The so-called authorities are fans, Belier's experience and knowledge surpass Brigit, but at the moment, no Brigitte can see clearly, because she is in the bureau.
"Sister Belil...... Brigitte whispered, she felt the need to warn Belil.
Dio had just come out of Brigitte's yard and was seeing Roy trotting all the way, and intuitively, Dio knew what should be happening: "Roy, what's wrong?"
"Young Master, you got up so early. Roy gasped and stopped in front of Theo: "But, someone got up earlier than you, ha...... Or maybe you haven't slept all night. ”
"Huh?" Dio frowned, "What the hell is going on?"
"Young master, the manor has a guest. ”
"Guest? interesting...... It's been more than ten years, and it's the first time I've heard of someone visiting this manor. Dio looked interested: "Do you know who the guest is?"
"Looks like a guy named Jim. ”
"Who are you talking about?" Dior was stunned, he had just heard the name, and in the blink of an eye he had become a guest of the manor?
"It's Jim, Tony told me, it is said that he is still a noble baron, but unfortunately, he has no territory of his own, and he is far from our baron. Roy said mysteriously: "Young Master, that's not a good thing!"
"Why do you say that, have you dealt with him before?" said Dio, who had calmed down.
"No, it's the first time I've seen that guy. Roy said: "Just look at him, a pair of thief eyes stared at Miss Sophia, and sent flowers...... I don't look at what I look like, I have a fat head and big ears, a belly like a wine barrel, and my legs are thick and short, like a toad, and he deserves to pursue Miss Sophia?!" The more Roy spoke, the more angry he became, hearing that Sophia agreed to marry Theo, he was even more excited than the person concerned, and deciding to follow the young master was undoubtedly his wisest choice, and when Theo and Sophia got married, his status would definitely rise with the tide, so of course he would be dissatisfied when he saw someone offering courtesy in front of Sophia.
"Sophia went to meet him?" asked Dio.
