Chapter 179: Inexplicable Feelings
Lyanna took small steps to the balcony on the top floor of the abbey.
The sun was setting, and the distant mountains were hidden under the soft red light, as if they were covered with a light veil. In the evening, the town is free of the hustle and bustle of the day, and many people go home, and there is only peace and serenity.
Lyanna was lying on the railing with a melancholy expression, and all these days, she had been leaning quietly on the railing of the balcony, looking at the snow all over the city, and more often, looking in the direction of Rod's distance.
From afar, the news of the victory of the king of the north came again, however, unlike the excitement of ordinary people, Lyanna was more concerned about whether Rhodes was injured or sick during the battle...... She loves him from the bottom of her heart, however, this is destined to be only a love buried in the bottom of her heart. Because, Rhodes has a wife...... It's the Frost Witch, Caroline, Lord of Heidelberg.
Lyanna envied her, a little jealous. She was jealous that Caroline could be by Rod's side every day, was it just because she had met Rhodes earlier? Lyanna didn't know...... Her heart was in turmoil, and she had to suppress this emotion. If it is allowed to develop, it will only lead to nothing.
However, she couldn't control the emotion. She looked at Rhodes as if it was her love. She wanted to suppress this emotion, but the longing was like a crazy vine, binding her heart. Whether you open your eyes or close them, it's Rod's face. She remembered that she had seen him herself, seen his body, and even touched his skin...... Every little memory is now a luxury. Because she knew that Rhodes had already become king, and the king of the north was the hope of the entire north, and he would have less time to return to Blackhammer Castle, how many times would she see him?
Lyanna didn't know, her heart was in turmoil. She wanted to see him, but she was afraid to see him. I'm afraid that I will be so nervous in front of him that I lose my temper...... Many emotions are finally buried in my heart. Rhodes once arranged for him to meet many excellent men, some were handsome, some were mature and steady, and some had outstanding achievements in some fields, however, Lyanna refused with a smile every time, and even if they met, they had no feelings for each other.
Is this love? But it's so painful to fall in love with a married man...... Lyanna opened her mouth and took a deep breath, the evening breeze mixed with a gust of cold, inhaled into her lungs, and the cold entered her heart.
"Lyanna, Miss Lyanna, well, I searched the whole abbey, and it turns out that you are here. ”
The footsteps of Alves, the little dwarf, shattered the silence. His short legs limped out to the balcony. Lyanna turned around and looked at him with a frown.
"Well, what's the matter? Lord Governor?"
"Okay, okay, don't make fun of me, how many times have you said it, call me Alves. In Rhodes's eyes, our positions are not up or down. Alves squinted at Lyanna, "This is the list, the wounded sent from the front line, there are probably more than three hundred people, and in addition, there are more than two hundred people who are enemies, that is, soldiers from the south. Rhodes is so kind, even the enemy has been treated. ”
"They are enemies now, not necessarily in the future. ”
Lyanna whispered back.
"That's right. Alves frowned, "Let's see if the hospital has enough manpower to accommodate so many people at once." If it doesn't work, I'll find a way. ”
"It can be, it's just a little squeezing. ”
Lyanna replied simply.
"Alright then, I'm sorry for you. ”
Alves finished speaking, and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, and he saw the sad and melancholy face of the priestess. She was so absent-minded that Alves wondered if Lyanna would be able to do her job well.
"The ......"
Alves didn't know how to speak, he stood beside the priestess, and he stopped talking.
"Anything else?"
Lyanna's pretty face looked at him, making it even more difficult for Alves to speak. Reading the Library
"That...... Don't worry about Rod's words anymore...... I mean...... Doom ......"
As soon as Alves spoke, he really wanted to smack his mouth. I have nothing to do to manage other people's private lives...... It's just that Lyanna doesn't seem to mind too much.
"What do you want to say?"
Lyanna said calmly, however, Alves knew that it was pretending. Generally speaking, anyone who is a little smarter can see the priestess's affection for the White Bear Lord.
"What I'm trying to say is that your affection for Rhodes is too hard, and maybe it will pay off, but the probability of that is too low. The likelihood of that happening is almost zero. Forehead...... I know it's hard, but you have to do it, and the process is painful. But...... But as long as it's over, it's fine. ”
Alves said in a rambling manner, he had never stammered when it came to dealing with all kinds of serious matters, but for this matter, Alves, the chief manager, did not know where to start.
It's just that Lyanna is not the kind of person who is grumpy, I saw that she first pretended not to care, and then her eyes became moist. missed, so she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"In the past, it was easier said than done......
The priestess no longer shied away from her feelings.
"It's easy to say, it's hard to say. ”
Alves added.
"First of all, you need time. Then, you need a new lover. I mean, there's always someone better than Rhodes, maybe you haven't met yet...... Those we have loved, those who have loved us, are all painful, and time will eventually erase those once warm and rich feelings. ”
"Have you ever had such a relationship?"
Lyanna asked, turning her head.
"Sort of, but I was stupid at the time, I naively thought she really loved me. ”
Alves put his feet on the railing and returned with a sigh.
"What kind of girl is that?"
Lyanna was curious.
"It was a woman who cheated me out of both the gold in my pocket and my feelings. Alas, in short, the past. ”
Alves sighed. His thick brow furrowed into a line, and the traces of time could not be concealed on this rough face. Everyone has experienced it to a greater or lesser extent, and for a dwarf who has lost his lover, everyone's affirmation, and his own brother, the pain in his heart will not be much less than that of the priestess in front of him. In the midst of repeated injuries, the heart became numb and incomparably strong. Alves once cursed the gods, and if this was a test for him, then, he would rather not have this kind of test and just be an ordinary person. However, fate leaves no choice.
"It's a tragedy, but our world is a world of tragedy, isn't it?"
Alves sighed.
