Chapter 062: Joanna's Determination
Joanna's body trembled when she heard Leah's name, she still couldn't keep calm when that kind of thing just happened.
"I don't know......" Joanna's voice was a little low, and Ulysses thought she was a little lonely, and didn't think much of it.
"In that case, I won't bother you, I'm really sorry to accidentally bump into you. Ulysses bowed slightly to Joanna, and was about to turn away.
"You ......" Joanna suddenly stopped Ulysses, and after a brief hesitation, she still voiced her question, "You look for Leah...... What's the matter with my sister?"
Joanna's expression on her face was a little pained when she said the title "Sister Leah", and she remembered the very hurtful words that Leah had said before.
"Hmm...... It's not a good thing to tell you, because my father hasn't been in good health lately, so he wants to see Leah once, and he's probably ...... There's not much time left......" Ulysses sighed, the smile on his face turning bitter, and although he had accepted the fact that his father was about to die, his heart still felt a pang of annoyance whenever he thought about it.
"Ah...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked......" Joanna covered her mouth in surprise, how did she know that she had asked such a shocking truth casually.
"It's okay, don't blame those who don't know, then I'll go first, if you see Leah, help me ask how the guest is thinking about it. ”
"I will. Joanna nodded lightly, watching Ulysses leave.
After Ulysses left, Joanna looked pensive, and the conversation with Ulysses had made her aware of something, and a bold conjecture gradually came to her mind.
"Sister Leah and Ulysses are engaged...... But what she likes is girls, the Tulip family has the title of duke, and the Violet family is only a marquis, and its strength has been weakening recently...... So could Sister Leah be forced to marry by her father, and in order to clear up her relationship with me, she will say those words...... "Joanna's brain is running rapidly, and one after another may be constantly analyzed in her brain, although Joanna is usually stupid, but she is not stupid, she can enter the Rose Academy She also has excellent abilities, but Joanna is used to the feeling of relying on Leah, as long as she gets serious again, this analysis is not very difficult for her.
The more Joanna thought about it, the brighter the light in her eyes became, and she found that her analysis was very credible, that is, Leah was very likely to have lied to her, and what she said just now was not the truth.
After coming to this conclusion, Joanna could no longer remain calm, she turned and ran towards the lake, she had to test her conjectures, and if they were true, it would prove that Leah still liked her.
Joanna suddenly felt as if the world in her eyes had become colorful again, and her heart was beating like a rabbit, and it was only at this moment that Joanna realized that her feelings for Leah had reached this level.
It is clearly a throbbing of love.
Soon after, Joanna returned to the lake, and she looked at the calm lake with complicated eyes, and her heart hesitated again. But after struggling for a while, Joanna took a deep breath, her eyes became determined, and walked towards the place where she had just spoken to Leah.
After rounding a bush, Joanna finally saw the big tree, and she saw the figure curled up under the big tree at a glance, and even from so far away, she felt the melancholy coming from there.
Leah, who was staring blankly at the lake, noticed something, she slowly turned her head and looked at the bushes not far away, but she didn't see half a figure at all, so Leah put her eyes back on the lake, and there was no sparkle in her eyes.
Behind the bushes, Joanna squatted on the ground, and the moment she had just alarmed Leah, she subconsciously hid, so that she was not discovered.
"Sister Leah......
At this time, Joanna suddenly had the urge to cry, seeing Leah's current appearance, how could she not understand that what Leah said before was completely deceiving her, Leah was stimulating her with hurtful words and making her take the initiative to leave her.
Joanna really wanted to rush out, hug the sad figure hard, cry in her arms, and bite her a few more times to vent the pain and dissatisfaction in her heart, but she finally held back, Leah did everything to get her out of herself, and going out now would only make Leah even more difficult.
Joanna hid behind the bushes like this, silently looking at the sky above her head, she was full of despair, and she had hope again, Joanna believed that Leah's previous actions were definitely for her good, if she didn't think so, she would definitely collapse.
Because for Joanna, Leah is definitely one of the most important people in her life.
"Something has to be done, we must not let Sister Leah marry someone she doesn't like!" Joanna secretly made up her mind in her heart, and at this moment, she had the idea of wanting to take the initiative to improve her abilities for the first time.
"If I have more strength than Duke Tulip, can't I cancel this marriage, the tradition of the empire is to get engaged on the natal festival at the age of thirteen, and then get married when she reaches adulthood at the age of sixteen, and Sister Leah will soon be thirteen, which means that I still have a little more than three years to complete this matter......" Joanna thought quickly, the idea in her mind became clearer and clearer, and a way to save Leah gradually appeared in her mind.
"Although my father's health looks good, the assassination left him with a dark illness...... If nothing else, he will pass the throne to his successor in two years, so if I can become the Empress of the Empire......" Joanna's eyes gradually hardened, she had decided to give up for the sake of Leah's future.
Originally, Joanna definitely didn't want to participate in the battle for the throne, but now for Leah, she decided to fight, although it would make her and her royal brothers and sisters turn against each other, but Joanna didn't care about this, in her impression, those who hung the title of older brothers and sisters would only look at her with cold eyes, as if looking at potential enemies.
Joanna has always been confused, in fact, she also has the idea of paralyzing them, she originally just wanted to live a peaceful life.
But now the situation has changed.
There have been several empresses in the history of the empire, so Joanna believes that it is not impossible, after all, she can enter the Rose Academy with her strength.
"Sister Leah, I'm going to get you out of your misery, I swear!" Joanna looked at Leah, who was sitting lonely under the tree, and secretly made up her mind, if it was for Leah, she even had the consciousness of turning into a devil.
Joanna left, she didn't go to see Leah, but walked towards the training ground with a resolute expression, from today onwards, a new Joanna will appear in the eyes of everyone, that weak her, has been sealed deep in her heart.
The power of love, sometimes it's just so scary, it's enough to turn a person upside down.
And Leah didn't know anything about all this, she just sat alone under the tree, staring blankly at the lake, the slightly cool autumn wind blowing on her face, but it couldn't bring her any comfort, her heart was already tangled.
After sitting like this for a few hours, Leah felt a little calmer, and then she realized that she was already hungry with her chest against her back, and Leah remembered that she had followed Joanna to the lake after class at noon, and had not eaten, no wonder she was so hungry now.
However, Leah didn't eat much, but in order to eliminate the discomfort caused by hunger, she still walked towards the restaurant.
Arriving at the restaurant, Leah looked at the recipe listlessly, and found that the tempting food of the past had lost its appeal at all, and she just asked for a bowl of noodles.
When eating noodles, Leah's sense of taste seemed to be out of order, and she numbly repeated the action of eating, until she ate the whole bowl of noodles, and although she didn't feel hungry at this time, she didn't feel the satisfaction of a full meal at all, and her body was full of emptiness.
Next, Leah walked out of the restaurant in a trance, and before she could go far, a familiar voice suddenly stopped her.
"Leah!
Leah turned around slowly, and found Ulysses waving his hand as he ran quickly towards her.
"Hello, Ulysses. Leah barely smiled, but it was almost like crying.
"Leah, what's wrong with you? Did anyone bully you?" Ulysseston showed a concerned expression, stretched out his hand and gently held Leah's shoulder, Leah frowned, avoided Ulysses's hand, and then whispered, "It's nothing, it's just a little conflict with a friend." ”
Ulysses couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Leah's reaction, although he had already discovered that Leah didn't like to have any physical contact with him, but if he really encountered this kind of thing, he really would still feel lost.
Because of Leah's actions, the atmosphere between her and Ulysses was a little awkward, but after a short silence, Leah suddenly spoke: "I have thought about going to your house as a guest, just this weekend." ”
"Really?" Ulysses looked surprised, but he only saw Leah's back, and after Leah said this, she turned away.
"What the hell is going on......" Ulysses frowned, but he didn't have a clue, he suddenly realized that he really knew very little about Leah, and Ulysses decided to take this opportunity to get to know Leah well.
Ulysses couldn't help but giggle at the thought that Leah had agreed to be a guest at his house.
