Chapter Forty-Six: Sister

Messira stood in the snow and looked at me and laughed

I was in a trance for a moment before I knew what had happened, I looked at her, and although I only touched it lightly on my mouth, I felt like I had been struck by lightning, and my whole body began to tremble

I wiped my mouth, "You"

Miscella smiled triumphantly, her face still pale, and she shivered when the cold wind blew, only her eyes were still so bright

She was dressed only in a carriage dress, and she was barefoot, and she jumped out of the carriage and ran to me, knowing that I wouldn't tell her I was going to see the sunrise

The Messella left a fragrant jasmine scent in the snow between my mouth, as if everything had stopped, I didn't even feel the cold, the mountain wind blew, and the Messella's head fluttered at her side, like a tender aquatic plant in the water, and her eyes were firm, not at all like a sick girl

I suddenly remembered the thinness of her clothes and blamed myself

"Let's go back, you'll get frostbite," I said

The morning sun is rising

And this sunrise is different from the previous sunrise, it pierced the clouds, the sky and the earth are bright, the clouds in the distance have become bright sè brocade, the snow mountains are also reflected in the pink satin, the mountain forest is magnificent, gorgeous like a bloody colorful clothes

Miscella looked at me facing the rising sun, the pale red halo made her look when she was healthy, the ruddy skin covered her weakness, she faced the wind and light, like a beautiful statue, "Victor, how am I?" ”

She smiled faintly

I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to speak, I should have answered 'yes' directly, and then she would have pestered me, and finally I would find a chance to escape, but this time, I was speechless

I couldn't find the words to express my mood after thinking about it, so I could only say dryly: "Okay"

The wind grew stronger, and her head no longer fluttered softly, but like autumn leaves, and her silk made her look incomparably thin

"Then why are you Alexei's son?" She looked at me with reproach in her eyes, and I felt that she was about to be carried away by the wind, "Why are you my brother?" ”

I didn't think that far ahead, and I didn't take the initiative to become a Romanov, but the reasons behind this are too complex to explain

I said to her, "Let's go back, Messira" and I reached out to grab her, but she opened

"Tell me, do you like me?"

The Messiah suddenly asked this question, and I was cornered, I really didn't know how to answer I'm not a casual person, I feel that I have to take responsibility for what I say, so I hesitated for a moment and the Messiah's words just now have woken me up, I'm her brother, even if I really like her, what can I do?

"I" I met her gaze, "I don't know, Messira"

Messira's smile faded, and slowly showed a look of extreme disappointment, and the brilliance on her face withered away for a moment, like a white flower withered in the cold wind, like a flowing cloud torn by the wind

She turned and walked towards the carriage, her feet were red and swollen from the cold, I don't know how she came I walked up to her and tried to help her back, she was weak and tried to push me away, but she lost the last bit of strength

Messira fell to the ground with snow on her head, and I put my arms around her waist, picked her up, and carried her on her back, and Messira was gradually losing consciousness

She said in a trance, "Victor, you're a fool."

She was so light, I couldn't feel her weight on my back, her breath made my neck itch for a while, my head was scattered, and the wind blew up and teased my face

A few women boiling water met us along the way, and whispered as we passed by that I saw the Messira's carriage from a distance, and I was amazed at how she had come so far to find me and walked to the side of the carriage, and I leaned her on the front seat of the carriage, opened the door myself, and carried her in

The cold on her body was very heavy, like a piece of ice, but her forehead was hot, I rubbed her hands and feet, found a blanket to cover her, I opened her kettle, and now the water in it was cold, I felt that the matter was serious, so I ran to the doctor

The doctor and a few farmers were sitting around a campfire chatting, and what bitter taste was boiling in a hanging pot, and when the doctor saw me hurrying over, he asked me curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Come quickly, Miss Messira is sick," I said anxiously

The doctor raised his eyebrows, "Hmm"

He took out some potions from a wooden box and put them in the satchel at his side, and he followed me to the side of the Messiah's carriage, and by this time someone had already come, and one of the Messila's sisters was guarding here, and when she saw me coming, she came over coldly, and suddenly slapped me silently, and the doctor silently watched as our Messira's sister turned around and led the doctor into the carriage, and the cousin finally turned around and glared at me, and closed the door with a bang

I stood in the snow and didn't know what to do

After a while, a hunchbacked woman came running tremblingly with a pot of hot water, she came running from the middle of the camp, I consciously took over her work, I ran back and forth, before the hot water ran out, I would run to fetch water, I didn't know how Messella's condition was, but I felt that a guy who had already caught a cold ran to the snow, and the situation could not be any better

More than half an hour later, Yuri came

After seeing Yuri, my heart tightened, and at this time, I was most afraid of seeing Yuri and the Earl, Yuri heard the maid's words, saying that Messira's illness was getting worse, and he put down what he was doing and rushed over, I don't know what he would do with me if he knew that it was because of my Messira, he looked at me, and without even talking to me, he buried his head and walked into the carriage, and I heard Messira's sister accusing me, saying that I had taken Messira to the snow

This was a bit wrong to me, but I did not wish to refute that I was indeed a fool, and that I should have carried her back when Messira had run out recklessly, and that I might still be talking to her in the carriage, and that even some misunderstanding would not have caused such a serious accident

After a long time, the doctor came out first, and as he got out of the carriage, he explained what had happened, and after he was gone, Yuri came out, and Yuri left Messila's sister to take care of her, and then walked to my side

"Victor, come here," Yuri said, walking towards the outside of the camp, my heart beating violently

I followed behind Yuri, Yuri looked like normal, and when he met someone on the road, Yuri would nod to others, I just hoped that Alexei would be found at this time, and with Alexei here, my situation would be much better

Coming to the edge of a wood, Yuri turned

"What's going on?" Yuri asked

I told him what had happened these days: after the Messiah got sick, I would go to see her every day before dawn, give her medicine, and then run to see the sunrise myself, and I would go to her again at noon and evening, but this time the Messiah came out with her, and then she fell ill

"The doctor said she didn't go back after a freeze," Yuri said, "She froze for a long time, and it took her a long time to recover, and she couldn't see the wind for more than half a month."

I didn't expect it to be so serious

"I'm sorry, Mistress Yuri," I buried my head, "it's me who is bad, I should have sent Miss Messira back in the first place"

Yuri stared at me, and it was a long time before he spoke: "Victor"

"Yes, sir"

He pouted, "I'm not an adult, Victor, you remember, I'll be your Uncle Yuri in the future, and the Messilah," he paused, "It's your sister"

"I know"

"Very good" Yuri sighed, "I know what people your age are thinking, I know my daughter's heart, that child is as simple as her mother, and a child who writes everything on her face is obviously not suitable for winter" I looked up at him, and now he was looking around with emotion, "Victor, if you are in any other capacity, if you are really good, I will train you well, and then hand over the Messiah to your hand" His eyes were cold, But you are now the son of the Romanovs, you are the future son-in-law of the Lepnin family, if you choose the wrong person, you will bring shame and enmity to both families at the same time, which will make you fall into the abyss, you know? ”

"I'm sorry"

Yuri became dissatisfied, "I'm sorry for what? Do you owe us anything? No, but Victor, it's not a sorry thing, it's a matter of the survival of the two families, if you are not careful, the whole family will be destroyed, and then the Messiah will not be spared, you will have to have this realization from now on, you are not a boy, because you have to learn to be a man"

"Yes," I was completely suppressed by Yuri in momentum, "yes, my lord, I will do it"

"Remember," Yuri said, "she is your sister, and you are the son-in-law of the Lepnin family"

He strode away through the snow, leaving behind a whispering pine forest, and I stood in the snow, confused

My heart was filled with the image of the Messiah: in the singing room she interceded for me; In the carriage she chatted with me; In the snow she looked at me facing the morning sun, the wind ruffled her silk, she was like a leaf in the wind

I sent the gods back to the carriage of the Messiah, and heard her coughing inside, her voice hoarse, and her sister kept comforting her, "We ignore him, we ignore him, don't cry"

I walked away with a sense of humor, and I felt like everyone was pointing fingers behind my back, which felt terrible

As I walked over to a campfire to warm up, a man rode up to me

It's Kaja

I glanced at her through the flames, she rode around on her steed, she rode around every day, and in the afternoons she practiced singing and Swadia grammar, and she should learn everything a noblewoman should know

Her face was flushed with exercise, and she jumped off her horse and came over with the reins, and she tried to hand me the reins, but I didn't, and she was slightly surprised

"Victor, I heard that something happened to the Messilah, can you tell me about it?"

She gasped, her chest slumped together, and a white mist erupted from her mouth, wetting the tip of her nose

I stood up: "It has nothing to do with you, Ms. Catherine"

I left the campfire behind, leaving her behind, and I felt her stunned

The next day, we crossed the stone fort and walked down the snow line

I rode on iron feet, and the mood was low The black field, the black land, the sparkling lake shining under the sky, the green and yellow forest stretched at the end of the vision, like a group of cavalry with spears galloping across the field

I squinted my eyes, the breeze sang in the four fields, and I looked to the east, to my future
