【Chapter 11】Heart-shaped biscuits
After sending everyone away, Yanna came to Afra and Faense's side, and when she saw that the two of them were silent, she smiled, "Afra is not small, I don't know what happened to you and Cedric, but he is too heavy, you see your head is broken, I still wonder, why was your house so loud last night." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Hearing this, Afra was a girl after all, her face turned red, and she glared at Yanna with a smile, "What are you talking about, Queen, your voice in that room last night was not small." ”
"I ...... I'll go back and get something to eat, but I'll tell you, Afra, don't throw yourself away. With that, Yeona grimaced and happily ran away, leaving only the two who were standing in place.
After Yanna left, the city gate and square, which had been deserted, suddenly became much more deserted, and only three or five soldiers were left to guard it solemnly. And in the central square, only Afra and Faense stood there silently, after all, they were not too familiar, the two of them were relatively speechless, silent for a moment, when Afra cautiously peeked at Faense beside him, Faense also noticed her delicate face, he made an obedient appearance, hahaha laughed word by word three times, then flicked his empty sleeves, and walked to the street in the distance.
Because before, when the Dawn Crusade departed, Faense saw the scene of Afra and Cedric, this laugh, maybe Faennes's mockery of Cedric, maybe it was a mockery of Afra, maybe it was also more incredible about what happened between them, in short, this laugh was meaningful.
Afra stood in place and was silent for a long time, when a captain of the guard at the door ran over and saluted her respectfully, "Sergeant Chief, do you have any instructions?" "Oh, send more people to stay at the city gate, and report to me immediately if you find any suspicious person. "Yes, my lord!" said the captain of the guard, who immediately turned and ran back to the city gate. Afra suddenly thought of something, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and ran in the direction of the castle in the distance.
Afra came to the castle, walked into the dining room and saw that there was no one around, she went to Yanna's room again and knocked softly on the door. After a few moments, Yeona opened the door with a loaf of bread in her hand and still chewing on the unswallowed food in her mouth. Looking at Yeonna's appearance, she shook her head and smiled, "What's wrong?
Yeonna didn't speak, because the food hadn't been swallowed yet, she nodded, and looking at her cute appearance, Afra walked into the room and reached out to remove the bread crumbs from her cheek. At this time, the two of them looked happy, just like in the past, the wound of Misty Island left a deep scar in the hearts of the two people, but both of them tried their best to choose to forget and be silent, for fear that if they said it, they would hurt each other. They don't want each other to forget their sadness, and they won't hate each other because they have forgotten the past, maybe this is the purest friendship between women, the deepest friendship, it is more payable and endurable than love.
When Yeona turned around and closed the door, she sat back on the edge of her bed, a small table in front of her was filled with exquisite dishes. This couldn't help but surprise Afra, who just thought that Yanna was just the bread against herself. "This ...... You did it all yourself? I can't tell you that since we have our Admiral Izzy, our queen will also cook. In addition to a hint of exclamation, there was also a chill in Afra's words.
Yanna smiled disapprovingly, and motioned for Afra to sit down as well, "Where will I do it, these are in front of me after I wake up." Yanna's words suddenly made her wake up, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable envy in her heart, "It seems that I will be treated differently from the queen in the future." "What are these words, sit down and eat together. Yanna graciously invited, and at the same time kept holding a heart-shaped biscuit on the table and bringing it to her mouth.
Afra sat down, but she didn't make a move, "I don't want to eat, what should I do if I get fat in the future?" Looking at her appearance, Yanna suddenly laughed, "Hehe, too, you've become fat, that Cedric shouldn't look down on you." "Hey, it's not what you think, okay?" Seeing Afra's little face slightly red and angry, Yanna withdrew her smile and made a puzzled look, "What's that?"
"Yesterday...... Forget it, I won't say it, I promised him that he wouldn't say it, anyway, it's not what you think. Afra justifiably defended, but this made Yanna feel amused, and she gently patted Afra's hand, "It's okay, in fact, Cedric's guy is quite funny, but it's still good, I often hear Izzy mention him." "If you say it again, I'll be angry!" Afra said, looking unhappy.
"Alright, alright, I won't talk about it. Yanna was still happily looking at the delicate heart-shaped biscuit in her hand, she had never seen such a delicate biscuit in the food she had seen, it seemed that Izzy was really painstakingly about herself, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a sweet smile when she thought of this, and the real sweetness had already spread to her heart.
There was silence for a moment, and finally Afra couldn't help it, and took Yanna's little hand, "Yanna, how old did you say Cedric?" "You have to tell me, how would I know." Yeona had an incredulous expression, and Afra was stunned, "No... I said the age. "I'm talking about age, right?" Yeonna replied, looking at her inexplicably.
"Anyway, it's not much older than you, it's not much smaller, the question of age, let it go, it doesn't matter how young you are. Yanna said softly, and at the same time, a cute little face couldn't help laughing, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, after all, women understand women's hearts best.
"What do you think of Cedric?" asked Afra, looking down, more like talking to herself. This time, Yanna was so hung that she choked, she coughed twice, grabbed Afra's hand, and patted it lightly, "Afra, I want to know what a person is like, you have to ask the people who are often with him, and we have one in the city now." "Faense, fierce man?" Yanna nodded noncommittally.
Afra laughed awkwardly and walked quickly to the door. "Hey, Afra, you really don't want to eat it?" "Eat it yourself." With that, Afra ran out and closed the door. After a few moments, Yeona burst out laughing and fell onto the bed, as if she had seen something happy. Maybe the thought of these two people together makes her think it's funny. The reason why she mentioned Faense just now was also to bring people closer, and she knew that Afra was not very good at communicating with people.
Afra inquired all the way and eventually found Faense on the street, and through the bustling crowd, he could see him arguing with a merchant from a distance. Seeing this, she made her way through the crowd and came closer, only to see Faense cursing the merchant in front of her.
"You bastard, you say it again, look at how I clean you up!" Faense looked at the merchant in front of him angrily, and the merchant wore a straw hat, sat cross-legged on a wooden chair leisurely, not caring at all, only to see him pick up the wine in his hand and take a deep sip and said, "My lord, I thought you just lost your arm, but I didn't expect your heart to be lost, have you thought about helping someone who shouldn't be helped, what will happen to you?"
Hearing the merchant's words, Faens became even more angry, and he was about to draw the long sword at his waist with one hand, but fortunately Afra arrived, held his hand, and pushed him aside "Don't stop me, let me kill this bastard!" "Faenns!" Afra also shouted, which made Faense angrily withdraw his sword and walk towards the crowd in the distance.
Seeing Faens walk away, Afra returned to the merchant and smiled apologetically at him, "I'm sorry, what happened?" Unexpectedly, the merchant didn't answer immediately, but handed her the wine bag in his hand, Afra looked at it suspiciously, but the merchant's hand didn't let go, she had to take the wine bag.
"Take a sip and try it. The merchant said silently, his voice low and full of drunkenness. Afra was not worried about anything going wrong because she had just seen the merchant drink it herself, and after picking up the wine bag and taking a sip, the spicy sensation instantly spread to her throat, and she coughed again and again, and returned the wine bag to the merchant.
"What kind of wine, so spicy?" the merchant sneered when he heard this, and drank it to himself, "I think Lord Afra is still a little sensible, how about selling you information?" "What information?" "Important information. The merchant said, raising his hand and snapping his fingers. But Afra didn't understand "what do you mean?"
Seeing this, the merchant couldn't help but sigh, "Money, eldest sister, I said I sold it." Listening to the merchant's rogue tone, Afra's heart was also disgusted, she glared at the merchant angrily, "I know! You say it!" Hearing her scolding, the merchant sneered, raised his hand and gestured four fingers, and slowly raised his thumb again, "It was originally four hundred, but your bad temper has become five hundred." Looking at the merchant's rogue appearance, Afu stretched out her hand and touched her waist, took out a heavy money bag, and threw it on the merchant's body, "This is six hundred silver coins, tell me quickly, if you dare to lie to me, no one else is needed, I will clean you up first." Afra snapped.
The merchant took the money bag with a smile on his face, "Okay, there is a town of El near the southern mountains, and the answer you want is there." "What?" But the merchant stopped talking, and walked away quickly, and Afra was about to chase after her, when she heard a shout behind her, and she hurriedly avoided turning back. Faennes found a bench out of nowhere and smashed it hard at the merchant's stall.
"What the hell did I tell you to sell!" Farnes cursed as he slammed it hard, and Afra hurriedly came back to her senses, and looked around again, only to see that it was all onlookers, and the merchant was long gone. At this moment, an elderly merchant came over and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Faennes, "What are you doing, my lord, that's my commodity...... looking at the broken goods on the ground, scattered on the ground, the merchant was about to cry.
Afra grabbed Faense and dragged him back, and he came to the merchant, "What's going on?" "Oh, how do I know what's going on, someone told me someone in the square to wait for me, and he said to help me look at the goods, but I didn't expect to ...... as soon as I came back" The merchant finished crying, and suddenly a feeling of being calculated came to Afra's heart.
At this time, Farnes, who was still angry on the side, stepped forward, and he dragged the old man by, "Don't cry, I'll accompany you with those broken things, you can count them." "Your Excellency, these cost me a hundred silver coins. Hearing the old man's words, Faense snorted angrily and touched his hand to his waist, "Isn't it just a hundred, I'll give ......."
Faennes didn't finish speaking, but his expression froze, he didn't seem to have any money with him in a hurry today, and then he looked at Afra on the side, "Afra......" Afra also shook his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't. Seeing that the people around them were gathering more and more, Faense and Afra glanced at each other and quickly walked away from the crowd.
At this time, the elderly merchant looked at Afra helplessly, "My lord, look at this ......" Afra spread his hands helplessly, "I don't know him." As soon as she finished speaking, the old man sat down on the ground crying, and seeing this, Afra hurriedly smiled and helped the old man up, "I'm sorry, uncle, I'm joking with you." ”
Afra was about to explain something, when Faense came over and threw a money bag on the old man's body, "Here are a hundred and fifty, and if you have more, I should apologize to you." At this time, Afra slowly got up and looked at him helplessly. Just after the two left, the old man burst into tears and laughed, knelt on the ground and thanked him repeatedly, and when he saw this, the surrounding people dispersed in a hurry.
"What just happened, Faennes?" "Don't ask, that's a big liar. Farnes was still snorting, obviously he was full of dissatisfaction with being fooled, and Afra was also a little angry, but fortunately, Farnes was more angry than her, so that she didn't vent, after all, six hundred is not a small number.
The two of them walked side by side like this, without saying a word, and they didn't know what to say, they wanted to ask Cedric about it, but they didn't expect what had just happened. As he walked, Faense also felt a little strange, so he stopped and looked at Afra.
"Is there something wrong?" Faense asked suddenly, causing Afra to panic a little, "No...... No, there is" Looking at Afra's bewildered appearance, Faennes's serious face, he smiled lightly "Yes, let's just say, we are all led by the great Izzy." "There's always something unpleasant about what Faens said, and it's a lot like irony.
Afra smiled embarrassedly to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Faenns, what happened between you?" She heard the deep resentment towards Izzy in Faenns's words, and also recalled the scene when the two of them got together before, so she couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Farnes's heart was full of anger that could not be calmed down, and he flicked his empty sleeves, "See this, he made me live like a cripple." "Huh?" Afra was startled, and she asked in confusion, "What happened?"
The two found a shady place and sat down, since they asked, Faens simply told all the things about the mercenaries of the Order before, looking at his resentful look, Afra didn't feel that Izzy was at fault, "Faenns, the matter has passed, you can't continue to resent Izzy so much, otherwise you will hurt yourself." She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't expect Faennes to look at her with some anger.
"I've lost not only my arm, but my family, even my brother, and maybe that bastard was right, my heart has been lost. Seeing Faens's lost appearance, Afra also felt that he was very pitiful, she reached out and patted Faense on the shoulder, sighed, and was about to say something, only to see him stand up all of a sudden, "I don't need your pity." He said a few words and continued walking into the distance.
Seeing this, Afra hurriedly caught up with him, "I don't pity you, I just want to say, the story you said just now, I think the real enemies should be those who took your arm and father, but you didn't lose your brother, Cedric or something, aren't they all by our side, not to mention that it is your enemy who is fighting back now." ”
As soon as Afra's words fell, Faense nodded noncommittally, and at the same time snorted coldly, "Cedric...... Hearing this, Afra finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seemed that she had finally reached the point, she hurriedly showed a curious expression, and looked at Faennes's face "By the way, how is that Cedric?"
Looking at Afra's handsome face and the ponytail that swayed from side to side at the back of his head, Faens couldn't help but frown. Perhaps the most hurtful thing is that a woman asks a man how another man is, even if they don't see anything, but it's not pleasant. Faennes sneered and sighed deeply, "Cedric, Cedric......."
He repeated Cedric's name over and over again, much to Afra's unusual impatience, but she held back. After walking for a while, Farnes noticed that she was still staring at him, so he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Do I have a place on my face that looks like Cedric?" "Don't tease me, I'm going to look like that, and I'm going to die." Faennes was obviously joking, and Cedric's appearance was a handsome unruly young man.
The two talked along the way, and slowly learned about Cedric's personality from Faennes's mouth, Faens didn't say anything bad, but generally praised Cedric with a little irony, funny, merry, and clever, when Afra was listening to it with relish, suddenly there was a sound of fighting in front of them, and the sound of weapons colliding, the two of them were suddenly shocked, stopped, and looked ahead......
