Volume 2 Singing of Flowers and Gems and Story 9 Double-Sided Meter! I steal myself!
"Sir Percival, may I go out and see my friends? Capezian was waiting for me outside. Arya asked, looking at Percival.
"As long as you don't leave the big iron gate of the manor, it's no problem, and I'll follow you." Parcival looked down at her and replied calmly.
It seems that this is really inseparable! Arya roared in exasperation.
"Where's Mom and Dad?" Arya asked with a slight frown.
"Mr. and Mrs. Torris are in the hall on the first floor, and all the maids, including Lady Nanon, are assigned to guard the whole house, and your room is guarded by me and Miss Anne, please rest assured." The first half of Percival's words made Arya instantly nervous, and the second half of the sentence made her breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately there was Annie!
"Then let's go out the back door, let's not go and say good morning to them, let's go!" With a lively smile, Arya looked at Anne and Percival, who both nodded at her at the same time.
When Arya took the two of them to the outside through the back door, she found that the back garden was also full of patrolling knights and vigilantes! Ah, in the whole Dushante Manor, isn't there a place where there is no one!? Arya instantly folded her little face and walked quickly to Capezian outside the iron fence.
"Your father is really a great teacher, if it were my father, he would probably say that with my ability, he will definitely beat the monster thief down, and there is no need to protect it at all." Capezian jumped off her horse and walked over to the bars to talk to Arya.
"With your character and strength, you really don't need protection." Arya said half-jokingly with her hands on her hips.
"You guy still have the energy to talk to me, it seems that you are not afraid of that strange thief, because I set off so early, and I still want to comfort you who will show a crying face." Capezan clasped her hands to her chest and replied mockingly.
"Please, I don't have that expression, just let that thief come over! I'll see what she'll use to steal me! Arya confidently puffed up her chest and patted her chest with her hand.
Who was the girl who pretended to be a sick flower in front of Mr. Perseus yesterday? With her hands behind her back, Anne cast a slightly disdainful glance at Arya.
Then Anne looked at Percival next to her, and found that there was no expression on Percival's face, but Anne felt that his mind and body seemed to be in a tense state all the time.
"I'm relieved to see you say that, and I know you're not going to be intimidated." As she said this, Capezan gave Arya a thumbs up in exchange for a bright smile from Arya.
"Sister Arya——!" The sound of galloping horses' hooves, accompanied by childish shouts, is gradually approaching from a distance! Arya fixed her eyes on it, it was Alan riding a horse carrying Pique, rushing this way!
"Pique! Jasont! Arya was instantly happy, and after watching Peake jump off the horse, she ran to her anxiously to comfort her: "Sister Arya! Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for you to stay in prison like this? ”
Supervise... Jail...... Hearing this word, Arya stiffened her face and felt that her whole person was not good, but her other companions snickered, and she called their names angrily: "Hey! Annie, Capezian, Mr. Jacente, what are you laughing at?! ”
"Ahh You're the bad woman who scratched Sister Arya on Girls' Day! Peake immediately recognized Capesian.
"Little ghost, I reconciled with Arya after that." Capezan crossed her hands on her hips and looked down at him.
"That's right, Peake, she's a good friend of mine now." Arya reached out through the crack in the fence and patted Peake's head.
"Pat, I'll stay outside and keep an eye on it, you must protect Miss Arya, you should know better than I know how powerful that strange thief is." Alan looked at his best friend.
"I know I'm going to protect her." After Percival finished speaking, he looked at Arya beside him.
"It seems that I was right in the café before, I was right to say to Arya, even if I add Jacente, I can't catch that strange thief, then I'll help, I'll stay outside." Capezan finished and patted her saber.
"Thanks... Thank you......" Arya left tears of emotion and helplessness in her heart, and Anne stood behind, holding back the desire to laugh out loud.
After spending two days in this environment, falling into the middle of the night as stated in the advance letter, Arya glanced out the window, and the whole manor was brightly lit inside and out, and the security was even tighter than that of Puff Manor! Good! Now is the time! Arya turned her head to look at Annie, who nodded tacitly, opened the door and walked out of the room.
"Miss Annie, is Miss Arya okay?" Parcival asked.
"Well, she's a little hungry, I'm going to get her pies." Anne nodded in response.
"Okay."
When Anne came to the door with a hot chicken pie in her hand, and Percival opened the door for her, both of them were shocked by the sight before them: a dark blue shadow shrouded in moonlight, standing silently in front of the open window, and there was no Arya in the room!
"Rosemary——?! Both of them exclaimed the name of the thief at the same time.
"Where's Rosemary?!" Hearing this name, Torris held the handrail of the staircase with one hand with a gloomy face, and quickly jumped down to the stairs on the second floor, and ran towards his beloved daughter's room, Claire and the maids followed in a hurry, and the whole house was blocked in front of the room door!
"Rose-Marie! Give my daughter back——! Torres drew his sword in anger and roared at the dark blue figure, the first time Arya had seen her freewheeling father so furious.
"Strange thief Rosemary! Our Dushante family has never done anything bad, why did you steal my daughter!? Claire rushed to her husband's side, teary-eyed and screaming loudly.
Mom...... Seeing her mother's crying bitterly, Arya's heart was violently shaken, and there was a sour feeling in her eyes, she blinked her eyes vigorously, and forced herself to keep her cold attitude back.
"My theft is not the result of a crime, you must know it, knight Perseus." Percival's eyes widened, he couldn't forget the flag!
"Return Miss Arya and the Captain Banner! Rosemary! Percival pointed his sword at her and commanded sharply.
Rosemary, however, snorted coldly from the tip of her nose, turned her head and jumped gracefully out of the window, landing on the trees outside the manor, causing the maids to scream. Torris turned and ran to the door, and Percival rushed to the window, climbed the eaves with one hand, landed on the roof with a somersault, and jumped quickly and swiftly onto the thick branches, and approached Rosemary!
"Rose-Marie! Hold it! "Allen and Capesian, and Pique rode around the ground under the tree where Rosemary was staying, and the knights and vigilantes surrounded them below, and the Dushantes and the maids chased them out.
"You can't escape! Rosemary! Percival landed on the trunk of a nearby tree, the tip of his sword pointed straight at Rosemary.
"Stupid." Rosemary snorted coldly, and before Percival could react, she immediately threw out her wand and broke the tree trunk at Parcival's feet, and Percival reacted quickly and grabbed the other tree trunk with her left hand, and the falling branch caused the people below to let out another burst of exclamation! Seeing that he was okay, Arya turned around and jumped forward.
"I won't let you escape!" As soon as Percival whistled with his right hand, the white steed leapt to his feet, and he let go of his hand and landed firmly on his mount, following closely behind Rosemary!
"Archers! Launch! Aram followed closely behind Percival, and as soon as he gave the order, the knights on horseback instantly shot countless arrows at the fast-moving figure!
"And mine! Take it! Blame the thief Rose Marie! Alan held the reins in his left hand and threw all the bluestone bullets in his right hand at Rosemary!
But all their attacks were magnificently avoided by Rosemary, who pursued her to an open meadow, where Rosemary stood at the top of the tree, and did not advance any further.
"You have nowhere to go, Rosemary! Give Miss Arya back! Percival threw his head up and shouted at the top below.
"For the sake of your hard work, I'll give you a hint." Rosemary conjured a pink sunflower out of thin air and let it fall slowly, and then she slowly spoke, "Poverty is a disease. With that, she waved her cloak and wiped her whereabouts from the treetops, which caused a lot of discussion.
"Poverty is a disease, and it seems that the thief Rosemary knows how to deal with the world." Alan said with a mocking smile on his face.
"No, maybe she said it casually." Capezian voiced her guess.
"Brother Pat, do you know anything?" Pique asked, looking at Percival's back.
"Give me a moment and let me think about it." Seeing the flowers fall into the palm of his hand, Percival frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then his eyes suddenly widened, he took the reins and began to rush back.
Meanwhile, in the back garden where no one was around, Anne was standing anxiously waiting not far away, when suddenly, Arya appeared in front of her with a wave of her cloak.
"Annie! You take the cloak back immediately! Quick, don't let anyone find out! Arya immediately ripped off her cloak, lifted her shapeshift, and shoved it into Anne's hands.
"I see! Leave it to me! Anne crumpled her cloak, tucked it into her skirt, and ran quickly to the back door. Arya finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay back among the flowers, which was really perfect! After a while, Anne came out from behind, saw Aria, pretended to be extremely surprised, and ran towards her with a loud scream: "Arya! Arya! ”
Several maids who rushed to hear the noise, as well as Nanon, flocked to her overjoyed when they saw Arya.
"Miss! Miss! You're okay! It's really great! Nanon tearfully took Arya's hand.
"That abominable monster thief! While I'm not paying attention, let me pass out! When I opened my eyes, I found that I was lying here! Arya pretended to be angry, sat up, and when she saw Nanon, she smiled, and wiped away the butler's tears with her fingers: "It's okay, Nanon, I'm back." ”
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and Arya had just stood up when she saw Percival with her parents and friends.
Pat was not mistaken! Arya is here! Alan said happily.
"Arya!"
"Sister Arya!" Her parents, along with Capezan and Pique, hug Arya and wrap her in the middle.
"How did you find me?" Arya asked, looking around at everyone.
"Ask Sir Perseus." Capezian shrugged.
"The first time I met Miss Arya was in this garden, and we talked about poverty." Parcival jumped off his horse and explained to her why.
"Worthy of Brother Pat! It's amazing! Pique sat on his horse and cheered loudly.
"But, Pat, why, Rosemary, the thief, would know about your meeting." Alan propped his chin on one hand and fell into thought.
"Shouldn't she say that she only knew about it because she was the thief Rose-Marie?" Capezan crossed her hands on her hips and asked Allen.
"Thank you for getting Arya back, Pat! I think this is the only treasure that hasn't been stolen from the thief. Torris walked up to Percival, his face returning to his usual affinity, and clapped him on the shoulder with his hands.
If I do get stolen, Daddy, you're going to overturn or crush the whole city of Cross, and you're going to find me, it's too dangerous! Arya sighed in her heart.
"Thank you, Pat!" Claire wiped away her tears and walked over to her husband.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Torris, Lady Claire, this is what a knight should do. I said I would protect you, and I would catch Rosemary, and I would never let her do that again. Parcival said firmly to the Dushantes.
"Very good! I'm going to have it in the newspapers tomorrow, and I'm going to put it on the front page, and I'm going to show Rosemarie her first failure! Torris stood where he was, shouting to everyone.
