Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The maid became his lover the next day because she spent the night with the viscount.

However, the Viscount did not look happy, and his eyes followed the elves he had picked up.

But in front of many people, he will not do anything, because the elf is a man.

Playing with men is seen as an outlier in this country, and the viscount only wants to get close to the elves when no one is around.

However, every time she wanted to go, this new lover would pester him and trap him in her bed in various ways.

The young girl looked sixteen years old, but she didn't expect her energy to be so good, and she had a lot of tricks in bed, and in a month's time, she grabbed the Viscount's heart to death.

The maid turned into a lover, and everyone felt that she was soaring, and even the woman next to the viscount was full of hostility towards her, targeting her intentionally or unintentionally.

This town is a border town in the small country of Los Angeles, a country close to the land of dwarves, where every family has slaves, although small, it is the only country on the continent of Ogris that has slaves written into the law.

The slave trade was legal here, and the children born to slaves after intermarriage were still slaves and belonged to the noble slave owners forever.

But this system will not last long.

In just one month, the army of Aurora came to fight.

With the slogan of emancipating slaves, waging war and proclaiming justice.

Those with slave marks on their necks were to be protected by the Aurora army, and the noble slave owners and their domestic servants were to be put to death to declare the end of the system.

The horn of war sounded, and the battle report from the front was transmitted to this border town.

Everyone was terrified, and the slaves, after learning the purpose of the war, finally took up arms and rebelled against the noble slave owners.

The slaves in the Viscount's family were also almost ready to move, and if it weren't for the suppression of the knightly class, I am afraid they would have stood up and resisted.

The viscount knew that he had to flee overnight.

There were a lot of possessions to bring, money, jewelry, curiosities, and, of course—

He looked at one of the rooms in the manor.

And the elf.

*

Sophie was drowsy.

However, the sound of the door opening woke her up!

The girl who came in was none other than the maid who had become the Viscount's lover, with a smile on her lips and a red-hot iron in her hand, as she walked towards the elf with her eyes slightly open.

There was a chill in her eyes.

It's not the same as usual.

The elf watched her quietly, and when the girl came to her, she didn't make the slightest movement.

The girl's hand trembled slightly, she looked directly at the golden pupils of the elf, and suddenly said coldly: "I have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have jumped from a maid to a lover, and I wouldn't have lived such a good life." ”

"But—" she said, "Lord Viscount still likes you, he won't like me." ”

"It's just a slave life, why can you get such a good life?"

After she finished speaking, in the elf's slightly frowning eyes, she imprinted the soldering iron on his neck!

"Lord Viscount will take me away, and you, stay here and be a lowly slave! that is your fate!" her voice trembled, sounding crazy and terrifying.

The burning pain stings the nerves!

The elves' eyes widened at that moment!

He has always been indifferent to the world, but at this time, for some reason, his heart hurts as if he is dripping blood!

The disappointment that seemed to be betrayed came to his eyes, and he looked at the girl, slowly closing his eyes in her crazy expression.

It was a mess outside.

The elf, who had fainted in pain, slept quietly on this gorgeous bed.

*

When he opened his eyes again, the room was empty except for him.

At the head of the bed was a small white hyacinth, which looked petite, but inexplicably had a certain firmness.

The elf looked at it with a blank expression.

Then, crush it and throw it aside.

The pain in the neck is still faint.

The scar looked severe.

He stood up and walked out of the house, only to find the manor almost in ruins.

An army broke in, looking for nobles and servants who were hiding.

It seems that the Viscount's family did not escape and have been caught.

The corners of the elf's lips curled slightly, and he looked mockingly at the blood on the ground.

The soldiers of Aurora found him, and when they were about to arrest him, they saw his long snow-white hair, pointed ears, and a face that was so beautiful that the heavens and the earth were discolored.

Before entering, they had heard that the noble lord had an elf.

I didn't expect it to be true.

If it's an elf, it's probably ...... It is also possible to be guillotined as a domestic servant.

But on closer inspection, the soldier found that there was a scar on the elf's neck.

- The scar of the slave.

"Yes, it's a slave!" the soldier reported to his commander.

The slogan of this war was the emancipation of slaves, so they would protect those who had the stigma of slaves.

The elves were not harmed by the soldiers, but were protected as slaves.

On the third day of the siege of the small kingdom of Decapitation, all the noble servants who tried to escape were captured and executed at the execution ground in the main city.

The slaves were devastated in the execution ground that day, and they watched the slave owners and nobles who had oppressed them kneel on the execution ground, their hair disheveled and their appearance crazy, and their hearts were filled with joy.

The elf was naturally among them, because of his unique identity and status, he was placed on the second floor by the officer, and from this window, he could see the aristocratic slave owners kneeling there densely on the execution ground.

And in the group, he didn't see the maid.

She probably ran away, or, she was dead.

The elf stretched out his hand and stroked the scar on his neck, who would have thought that the maid's jealous soldering iron would save his life by accident.

Human beings are selfish and hypocritical to the extreme.

Even these self-proclaimed righteous Aurora soldiers cast restless glances at the elves.

He leaned against the window, looking at the bloodied execution ground downstairs, and thought to himself—

Probably never to leave the forest again.

This disgusting human race is simply the dirtiest bug in the world.

He turned and disappeared into the room.

*

In the manor, the crushed white hyacinths were blown away, and together with the wind, fluttered and sprinkled to a place where no one knew.

*

Sophie woke up.

The mood is very mixed.

The elf king beside him was staring at her with golden pupils, he put down the book, lowered his eyes, laughed softly, and asked mockingly, "That's what you said, not a good-for-nothing human being?"

Sophie: "......"

She didn't answer, but asked, "You...... Do you know what the flower language of the white hyacinth is?"

The elf king said: "I don't know, the flower language is all something that human beings themselves imagine out of thin air, in fact, it is useless. ”

"The ideas they think they think are imposed on the flowers, moved by themselves, and moaning without disease. ”

Sophie said, "But...... The flower language of the white hyacinth, but it is - unconveyed love. ”

The Elven King was stunned.

Sophie sighed and scratched her hair, "That maid sister, most likely, died that night. ”

"Even the nobles couldn't escape, how could she escape. ”

"I know you just wanted to see how selfish humans can be, so you pretended to be caught, didn't resist and didn't speak, but, that sister, she didn't know, she saved you in her own way. ”

"Save me?" the Elf King raised his eyebrows and pointed to the scar on his neck, "How did you save it?"

Sophie said: "This is the mark of a slave, anyone with the mark will be protected by the army of Aurora, she printed this for you just to save you." ”

Unexpectedly, the elf king smiled faintly: "It's just a mistake." ”

"Not really!!" Sophie was rarely serious, she felt a tightness in her chest, "Do you know what the old man of the Viscount wanted to do to you that night when he was drunk?!"

The elven king said, "He wants to kiss me." ”

"You think it's so simple!!" Sophie was furious: "By the way, how did you elves give birth to children?!I don't even know this?!"

The elf king raised his eyebrows: "The offspring will go to the elven tree by the lover and the man and woman to make a wish, and the female elf can get pregnant after eating the fruit of the big tree." ”

Sophie: "...... Are you talking about platonic love?"

All right.

She began to tutor the Elven King on how humans reproduced.

After saying that, Sophie's baby face was slightly red, her hands were on her waist, and she said angrily: "You understand what the maid sister sacrificed that night!!"

The Elven King asked, "Since you said that in the process, both parties will be happy, then why is it called sacrifice?"

Sophie: "......"

She held her forehead, "Because you have to be happy with the person you like, and being with someone you don't like is a kind of torture and pain! The maid sister doesn't like the viscount at all, she likes you!"

The playful expression on the Elven King's face suddenly stiffened.

"Loved it...... Me?" He frowned and pointed to the scar on his neck, "Like me so much?"

Sophie: "...... They all said it was to save you. ”

"The day before the Aurora army arrived, she probably knew that no one could escape. ”

"The slave who is ready to move, the viscount who is greedy and afraid of death, and the innocent you. The Viscount wants to flee with you, but in that case, if you meet the soldiers of Aurora on the road, you will be dying. ”

"On the night she escaped, she used a soldering iron to make you a slave, she didn't know that you had your own way to leave, she just knew that you couldn't let anyone kill you, so she would protect you in this way. Even if it makes you hate her. ”

"She can't convey her love for you, that's why she left the white hyacinth to express her regret, and she left with the Viscount, but the guillotine didn't show her, which only means one thing - she died on the way. ”

"It is true that there is one kind of human being, but there is another kind of human being. ”

Sophie said: "They do everything to protect their loved ones. Obviously, he is not even afraid of death, but he is afraid that his loved ones will be hurt even a little bit. ”

"She likes you, but as an elf, you can't understand human feelings. For elves, perhaps emotion is an ethereal thing, but for humans, it is indeed the pillar of their reproduction and life. ”

The Elven King listened quietly, after listening to Sophie's words.

He suddenly remembered the way she wept that night when she was pulled out of the room by the maid.

Obviously, people are fragile like a fragile flower, but their eyes are as firm as a rock.

"Human ...... Why are you crying?" he asked.

Sophie said: "There are many kinds of crying, sad and sad, happy and happy. ”

"Then she was sad at the time, right?"

Sophie nodded, "That's right." ”

This guy finally understands that talking to the Elf King is really tiring.

The man reached out and stroked the small scar again.

The Elf King didn't quite understand why he had kept this for so long.

As he used to, he could erase it with a little magic, but he didn't.

Maybe it's because you want to know something, or maybe it's in your heart, but in fact, it's not really that indifferent.

The disappointment and heartache when he was imprinted on his neck by the soldering iron still can't be forgotten by him.

Because of my heart, I feel more angry.

He looked at the puffing baby face of the girl in front of him, reached out, and pinched it again.

A long time has passed, nearly fifty years, and now the most prosperous country on this continent is Aurora, and the surrounding small countries have almost been integrated.

That small border town, perhaps, has long been hidden underground with the yellow sand that has moved eastward.

At that time, fifty years later, when he learned the maid's true heart, he couldn't tell what he felt, and that slightly empty heart had a pain that was even more sad than the disappointment at that time.

Regretful.

But it can't be communicated.

"She once knitted a bracelet," said the Elven King, "but it was thrown away." ”

Sophie also knew that she had seen it in her dreams, and when the elf king woke up, she threw it with the white hyacinth.

"She likes you, but I don't think it's a lover's liking. Sophie said: "She looks at you very clearly, more like a relative than a lover." ”

She rubbed her chin, "Maybe you look like one of her relatives?"

"Relatives?" thought the Elven King, "she said she had an older brother. ”

Sophie nodded, "Yes," she had heard from the Elven King's first-hand perspective, "The maid's sister's brother." She and her brother have been wandering since childhood, and they have always depended on each other until they entered the Viscount's family. ”

It's a pity that my brother died.

In order to steal a bite of food, he was beaten to death by a nobleman with a stick.

The maid put her love for her brother on the elf, although she had not met her brother, but from the girl's account, perhaps, they really had similarities.

"Human beings, as you say, are indeed selfish, hypocritical and cunning, and I have never denied it. ”

"Human beings are made up of desires, and their hearts are like black holes of dissatisfaction, and I admit that. ”

However, because there is a desire, so I will work hard, and because I want to be happy, I will work hard. A group weaker than other races, but living on this continent for thousands of years, still not ushered in destruction. ”

"This world is not a black and white world, human desires are varied, good and bad, so they create a myriad of things, on the good side, they want to store water, so they have cups, because they are cold, they have clothes, they are too hot, they make fans, raw food is not clean and nutritious, and they learn the use of fire and all kinds of cooking methods. For the sake of convenience, all kinds of tools were invented, it was too troublesome to walk, and a carriage was made, which was inconvenient to communicate, so the creation of written language, of course, also had a bad side. ”

"Lust makes them want more, war, killing, possessions, treasures. Everything prompts humanity to regress, and those who are completely dominated by desire will get self-destruction, this is the rule of the world, no one can avoid it, even God, if he does something wrong, he must be punished, because God was once a man. ”

"There is no lack of imagination and action, it is developed in the relentless pursuit of life, and the motivation comes from emotion," Sophie said: "This is human beings, small but often able to create things far beyond imagination." ”

"It is true that there are many shortcomings and they don't measure themselves, but it is precisely because they don't measure their own strength that they are like Xiaoqiang who can't be killed. ”

She smiled and said, "Constantly developing and growing." ”
