Volume 2 Flowers & Gems Singing & Story 8 The goal is to steal Arya?!
"Since Arya has said so, then Pat, you can search with confidence. If you need it, I can also cooperate with you. Torres walked up to Percival and tapped him on the arm.
"Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Torris, you and Madame should go back first." Parcival nodded, then turned his head to look at Aran: "Aran, during my search, let everyone be stationed near the entrance, and if you find any suspicious person, report it to me immediately." ”
"Yes!" After receiving Aran's reply, Percival turned his head to look at Arya, and his originally solemn expression softened slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said to Arya, "Please forgive me for trespassing, Miss Arya." ”
"No, come with me, Sir Percival." Arya smiled, then turned around and walked to her room with her sweetheart.
All right! Finally, I can spend some time with Percival! Arya walked ahead, jumping up and down inside. When she reached the room, she turned on the oil lamp in the room, and the whole room suddenly lit up, and she stood by the door, signaling that Percival could come in.
When Percival entered, he looked around the room a little: directly opposite his window was a dresser, on which was a bouquet of bright fresh flowers, and some small wooden boxes for jewelry; Opposite the dressing table is a pink bed and futon covered with strawberry motifs, with a gauze pink curtain inlaid with ribbons and pearls pouring down from the ceiling, and wooden beddles on either side of the bed.
To the right of the window is a matching desk, but there are two chairs. It must have been an extra chair for Miss Anne, Percival stared at the chair as he entered the door, and wondered silently in his mind.
"Well, then, Miss Arya, I'm being rude." Percival turned and bowed slightly to Arya.
"Well, no problem." Arya replied as she quietly closed the door.
Watching Percival concentrate on carefully inspecting every corner of the room, and then slowly opening the drawer with her hands and feet, and finding that there is no problem and then closing it together, Arya leans against the door with her hands behind her back, and the hidden thief part of her body makes her smile a bad boy who wants to play tricks on her sweetheart.
Ahh I really want to make his meticulously handsome face show more expressions! But... But not yet, be patient, be patient! I can't let him see that I have a prank! Arya pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed invisibly, and her hands clenched into fists behind her back.
"Miss Arya, can I trouble you to pick up these pillows?" Percival stood beside the bed, pointing his fingers at the various pillows and pillows on the bed.
"Good! No problem! Arya jumped up and down to help.
When Percival, with the help of Arya, had finished inspecting the bed and wardrobe, he opened the bottom drawer of his desk, and what caught his eye instantly froze him in place, he frowned, picked up the white card in disbelief, and slowly stood up, looking at Arya with an embarrassed expression.
"What's the matter, Sir Percival?" Arya stood beside him, blinking curiously.
"Miss Arya, forgive me for being rude, you are innocent, because—" Percival did not finish his sentence, and handed her the white card in his hand.
“?” Arya obediently took the white card with the blue ribbon tied with it, and the words on it made her eyes widen in horror.
"Now, two days from now, I'm going to Dushante Manor and steal Earl Dushante's only sunflower. - Rose Marie, the Strange Thief
"It's... This is...... Rose-Marie's... When did she ......" Arya's expression was extremely shocked, her hands trembling slightly, and she took two steps back in fright, her back against the base of the wall.
"Miss Arya!" Parcival hurriedly stretched out his hands to help her up and let her sit down in a chair.
"What's wrong?! What's going on!? Anne heard a voice in Arya's room, and she came with a broom in both hands, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was Percival!
"What's going on... Sir Bussius ......? Anne blinked, pretending not to know what was going on.
"Miss Anne! You've come just in time! Miss Arya, please take care of you! Percival said coldly, picked up the teaser and rushed out of the room, running out the door. Seeing him leave, Arya immediately stood up and was ecstatic to give Anne a happy high-five!
"It's you! Arya! But then it's going to be a bit of a problem, right? Anne smiled at her standing by the bed, happily going back and forth in circles.
"Yes, the thief Rosemary is going to steal Arya, this terrible thief, I need you to help me, Annie!" Arya jumped up to Anne merrily and bumped her lightly on the shoulder.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Anne took Arya's hands and shook them gently.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a lot of people running in a hurry from the hall, and Arya jumped up and got into the bed, pretending to be frightened and tired, and Anne immediately dragged a chair and put it on the side of the bed, and sat down on it, pretending to look at Arya with a worried face.
"Arya!" Torris and Claire ran in at the same time, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at their beloved daughter with worried eyes.
"Arya, Dad has just told Pat that he will protect you every step of the way. Daddy believes you won't be taken away by that thief! Torris patted her daughter's head lightly with her hand, and Arya rarely saw Torris's grim expression.
"What a cunning thief! I stole my daughter's things to frame her, and now I'm going to steal her from me! I can't let that thief do that! Pat! Please be sure to protect Arya! Claire looked at Percival, who was standing by with tears in her eyes.
"Rest assured, ma'am, I will stay by Miss Arya's side and will not let that strange thief succeed!" Arya saw Percival's expression, and it was more serious than ever.
"Thank you, Sir Percival. Mom and Dad, I want to take a break and let Anne stay here with me, is that okay? Arya asked quietly.
"Of course, good night, baby." Torris gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead, Claire kissed her on the cheek, and everyone left the room, leaving only Arya and Anne.
Uh-oh! I got a kiss from mom and dad! Happy! Arya was overjoyed, and she immediately sat up from the bed to find Anne smiling with one hand over her mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" Arya crossed her hands on her hips and looked at her dissatisfiedly.
"It's a strange thief, it's really fickle. However, if Mr. Perseus stays by your side, I'm afraid you won't have the time to transform, and if that happens, it's a bit tricky. Anne clasped her hands on her chest and tilted her head to speak.
"Don't worry, no matter how tight the defense is, there will be negligent gaps, as long as I grasp this gap, I can tear a gap and show them a gorgeous world of monster thieves." Arya's eyes narrowed in silence, and she said this in Rosemary's voice, which made Anne stunned for a few seconds before she burst out laughing.
"Then I wish us a successful cooperation in advance." Anne winked at her and gave her a thumbs up.
"Hmm!" Arya regained her original voice, and nodded vigorously with a smile.
The next morning, Arya was woken up by a soft knock on the door.
"Is it Nanon? It's early in the morning, what's going on—" The moment Arya opened the door, her sleepy-eyed eyes opened as big as plates, and her brain instantly cleared.
Outside the door, Percival stood in front of Arya in full armor with a helmet on his face, a soft chuckle on his face, and he bowed slightly to her.
"Good morning, Miss Arya—"
Before Percival could finish speaking, the door slammed shut, causing him to lean back in fright.
"Arya... Miss......? Outside the door, Percival's voice was confused.
"Sir Percival, why are you here?!" Arya leaned against the door, blushing and loudly questioning the young knight outside.
"This is Mr. Torris's order, let me be by your side at all times." The man outside the door replied solemnly.
"Where's Anne!? Where did she go? Arya asked again.
"Miss Anne went for a walk in the back garden after breakfast, saying that she would wait for you to get up and then prepare breakfast for you. I'm afraid she'll wait too long, so I'll have to wake you up. ”
"Please go and call her!"
"Okay!"
Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually disappearing, Arya breathed a sigh of relief, she walked to the window and looked down, and instantly her face became panicked: there are people of the Knights stationed on both sides of the road at the gate, and outside the gate are members of the security team! OMG?! Arya gasped and grinned a few steps back.
Ah! At this time, Anne actually left me and went for a walk in the back garden?! It's unforgivable! Arya was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot. After a while, Anne walked in with white bread and cheese butter.
"Arya, I just went to the back garden to take a look, there are people from the knights and security teams everywhere, the lord and the lady are in the hall, let the maids take turns patrolling!" Anne said in a low voice, placing the tray on the table.
"Really, I thought you were really out for a walk, and it got a little troublesome." Arya cut off a piece of bread with a knife and fork, shoved it into her mouth and whispered.
"I just heard from Mr. Perseus that Mr. Allen and Peake will come later!"
"Ahem—" As soon as Anne finished speaking, Arya almost coughed up the bread in her throat!
"W-"
"Arya——! Arya ——! "This voice is! Capezanne?! Arya sprang up from her chair, threw down her knife and fork, and ran to the window, where she found Capesian on a white steed, dressed in a bright red riding costume, calling out to her anxiously outside the gate.
"I'm here! Capesan ——! Why don't you come in!? Arya pushed open the window and greeted her.
"Your dad won't let them let me in! Don't let people come out either! I heard that the Strange Thief Rosemary is going to steal you the night after tomorrow?! Is this true!? Capezian rode up to the window and asked her in a loud voice.
"It's true! Last night Sir Percival was in my house and found Rosemary's teaser letter! Arya replied to her in a louder voice.
"What!? Case! Then I'll stay here too! Even if it's someone I admire, I can't let her take you! I'm here... I finally made a friend! How can Rosemary be easily allowed to steal it! There was a hint of displeasure in Capezian's tone.
Ah, Capezian, I'm grateful you to say this to me, but it's a real headache, and it's inconvenient to do anything if you want to! Arya scratched her head with her hand in some annoyance.
"What should I do, if this continues, there will be more and more people guarding outside!" When Arya sat back in her seat and continued to eat breakfast, Anne hurriedly ran to her side and asked her anxiously.
"It's okay, Annie! The more this happens, the more challenging it will be for me! After Arya quickly finished breakfast, she stood up and looked at Anne: "Let's go out and see how the situation is going first, and then test how to act the day after tomorrow." ”
"That's all there is to it." Anne nodded, and followed Arya out the door.
