Serena cried and told the Duchess everything, and when the lady heard that so many things had happened in the academy recently, especially Serena was almost insulted by Istin, and Meiyi was also seriously injured by Istin, she was angry and anxious, but she couldn't have a seizure.

It was only when Serena calmed down a little that the lady said, "I have to say it anyway." Aster's death has nothing to do with Mei Yi, on the contrary, if it weren't for him, Avril would have been left with no bones, and Avril might not have survived, let alone you...... He was worthy of the eyes that Esther gave him. ”

"If you're unhappy with him because of the engagement, then you don't have to worry. I approached Meiyi privately, and Meiyi said that in order to maintain your self-esteem, it is inconvenient for him to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. If you ask me for any time, please be sure to say yes. Not only that, but he also asked me to give you the choice ......"

Serena choked up and said, "Madam, don't say it, I know it all." I'm sorry I was secretly there when you were talking. I'm angry that he's spent so much effort to take care of my pride and dignity and help me regain my courage and hope, why can't I simply say I like you? ”

The Duchess was taken aback: "It turns out that you have always liked Meiyi...... When did it start? Didn't you say you hated him? ”

Serena wept and said: "No matter how ignorant I am, I will not know that the death of the eldest princess has nothing to do with him, and the same is true of the eyes." I didn't know why I was angry when I saw him, until he just said that he always unconsciously overlapped himself with the eldest princess. I also unconsciously compare him to Princess Celestia......"

The Duchess sighed, "Not only you, but also Avril and I, who can always see the shadow of Esther in him—simple, kind, brave, and wooden. Every time I see him, I feel a special strangeness, as if I suddenly have a son. He called my mother that time, which scared me a lot, and I was quite happy. ”

Serena wiped away her tears and said softly, "I don't know when I started liking him, maybe it was when I heard that he saved the second princess despite the risk, maybe it was when he asked Liuxi to invite me to join his group, maybe it was when he rescued me from Istin, or maybe it was when he told me those stories......"

The Duchess gave Serena a long look and complained, "You stupid girl, why don't you let him know?" Do you think he has a low status and a poor family......

Serena kept wiping her tears with her hands: "Hanabi is right, I'm anxious because I have low spiritual ability and low status, but there is one thing she said wrong." I have been taught by you with the two princesses since I was a child, and I will never be disgusted with the poor and love the rich, and they can see the potential of Meiyi, can't I see it? ”

After saying that, Serena cried: "Madam, now that the elven princess Hanabi, the cardinal's sister Liuxi, and the human lord's daughter Kira are all fond of him, he has been disappointed in me. He's been helping me, but I've never cared for him properly, and it's chilling for him, which I brought on myself. ”

The Duchess touched Serena's long hair, looked at the waterfowl and ducks playing in the lake outside the window, and suddenly said, "Well, I will invite him to the mansion when I have time." Even if you can't be together, you can be friends. Such friends are also rare, what do you say? ”

Serena nodded.

The next morning, Serena gathered up her mood, got up early, had breakfast, read the texts in the grammar textbook for a while, and practiced her sword again in the courtyard.

She held a big sword in her hand, and in the yard she was so vigorous that the cold light was shining, and a leaf on the tree was cut off every time the size of a fingernail was cut off, and after dozens of swords, only the petiole remained of a leaf.

As a knight, Serena was impeccable in both swordsmanship and horsemanship.

"Oh my God, picking up such a heavy sword is like throwing an onion, no wonder the arms are so thick." There was a voice from the side that surprised her, and the Duchess's cheerful laughter.

Serena looked up and couldn't believe her eyes, it was Mei Yi standing in front of her! She was so frightened that she almost didn't grasp the sword steadily, and thought to herself: Didn't Madame say that she would invite him over again when she had time? Why is he here today?

Oh, by the way, it's a day off, and Madame has just the time.

Serena was about to glare at Mei Yi viciously, thinking about how she had repeatedly told herself to be nice to Mei Yi for the rest of the rest of the time when she tossed and turned in bed last night, so she tried to squeeze out a smile: "Dasha...... No, Meiyi, why are you here? ”

Mei Yi said strangely, "Didn't you ask me to come?" ”

Serena's eyes widened, she put down the sword in her hand, and said in surprise, "When did I let you come?" ”

Mei Yi said angrily: "I'm here, you can't deny it." The coachman at the Duke's palace said that you knew that I had not even been able to nibble on bread lately, so he invited me to the mansion for dinner, and I was ready to go back after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ”

Serena remembered how close he and Hanabi were yesterday, and she was angry. Seeing the Duchess staring at her closely, she lost her temper and squeezed out a smile: "Okay, what do you want to eat?" ”

Mei Yi suddenly shuddered, he looked at the Duchess in surprise, his eyes slanted towards Serena, and whispered, "Madam, what's wrong with Serena?" How did you suddenly become? ”

Serena was furious, and the Duchess once again suppressed her with a strong gaze, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong?" Our Nana was originally a girl. ”

Under the supervision of the Duchess, Serena did not dare to make a mistake. Taking advantage of her wife's unpreparedness, she glanced at Meiyi, walked to the small restaurant in the small building by the lake, brought a plate of freshly baked bread in the morning, fried an egg, poured a glass of milk and brought it out.

After thinking about it, she turned around and made a fruit platter and brought it out together.

The Duchess sat on the small stone table by the lake and watched Meiyi gobble up, and asked knowingly: "Meiyi, we haven't seen each other for a long time, has anything happened recently?" ”

Mei Yi said, "Oh, by the way, ma'am, I almost forgot to tell you. I've been offered a faculty position at the True Spirit Academy, and I'm going to take up next month. Also, some time ago, I was transferred to the Department of Mathematics of Hualing Academy, and my tablemate Hanahuo was actually the same as Sister Esther and Avril, and she was also a princess of the Duke's family, which scared me. ”

Serena thought to herself: Do you really think of your wife as your mother? Such a confession in front of her?

The Duchess smiled and said, "Didn't the True Spirit Academy send you the travel expenses?" Why are you still so struggling? ”

Mei Yi said angrily: "It's all to blame on Liuxi!" Before I invited my friend to dinner, I asked her how much the meal she had last time she had for us cost, and she said it wouldn't cost much, and I believed it. As a result, the hundred silver coins sent by the True Spirit Academy were not enough, so they borrowed another hundred from Hanabi. Alas, after a long day, it turned out to be the best restaurant in Hualing. ”

The Duchess burst into laughter. She looked at Mei Yi with love in her eyes, and said gently, "If you need help, just talk to Selina directly, don't be embarrassed." ”

Serena panicked: Huh? Why ask me for help? I don't have any money.
