Chapter 43: The Struggle of a Single Dog

"What are you doing here?" Xavier asked as he walked out Barry's door as he looked at Caroline in disgust.

"Because I've heard, Mr. Xavier, you're going to the capital, is it true?" Caroline's tone sounded like she wanted to know the answer, but she was afraid that the answer wouldn't be what she wanted.

"It's true. Xavier didn't deny it, "But at least a few more months before my injuries are completely healed." ”

"Then ......," Caroline's eyes suddenly became lost, "I won't see Mr. again, will he come back?"

"Yes, for sure, I promise you. Xavier used three different words to indicate that he would definitely return.

But in fact, he knew that after this departure, it would be a long time before he returned.

Caroline seemed to know this, too, so instead of being happy with this, her eyes continued to be low.

And in the face of this situation, Xavier didn't know how to deal with it, and was about to say a few words at will to prevaricate, but he heard the girl suddenly muster up her courage and said to him:

"If my husband wasn't here, I wouldn't have any nostalgia for Reston Village......"

"So, please let me follow you to the capital together!"

Xavier was stunned.

No, girl, do you believe me like that?

What's wrong with Reston Village? Isn't it nice to cook and chat with Isabella here?

Why did she do this?

Unless......

A strange thought rushed into Xavier's mind.

But in an instant, he shook his head again, and said to Caroline: "Suppose you go to the capital with me, and you are only sixteen years old, what can you do?

"I can write!I can help others copy papers!" said Caroline, speaking very quickly, lest Xavier would not grant her request, "I can play a musical instrument! I can dance the dance of the nobility of the North! I will definitely find a job in the capital!"

"And, Mr. Xavier, I am now the only one left in the whole of the Bettinne family, and if I had been in Reston Village all my life, the family's reputation would probably never have survived. ”

"So even if I'm just a woman, I want to go to the capital and use my modest strength to rebuild the family's reputation!" Caroline said with a determined gaze at Xavier, "I won't interfere with Mr. Xavier, after arriving in the capital, Mr. Xavier can go and practice swordsmanship on his own." ”

"And I'll take good care of myself...... Definitely not dragging down Mr. Her voice became smaller again.

Faced with this series of words, Xavier was about to answer, but he heard two voices from behind.

"Xavier, the little girl said so, you can promise her. It was Barry who said this, and as always, he had an expression of 'I've seen everything.'

It turned out that the two of them had been eavesdropping behind the door just now! After hearing Caroline's request, the two were afraid that Xavier would mess things up again, so they hurriedly came out and scrambled to persuade the black-haired swordsman.

At this moment, Xavier didn't know whether to laugh or not, and was silent for dozens of seconds, and sighed at the sky.

I'm not that nice, girl......

In the end, he chose to put his eyes back on Caroline's face and responded, "Okay, okay, I promise you." ”

"Ah?!" Caroline, who heard the answer, hurriedly showed a happy expression, and even wanted to jump up, but felt that this was very rude, so she immediately changed her actions to salute: "Thank you, sir, I will definitely not interfere with sir, please rest assured!"

"I believe ......," Xavier shrugged.

And Barry and Cassity, who saw this scene, showed satisfied smiles.

~~~~~~~

In the barracks.

Xavier the One-Armed Man is instructing Skyler on the responsibilities of a squad leader so that he can take over after he leaves.

And Skyler, as a student, also makes Xavier, a teacher, very comfortable to teach, because he belongs to the kind of student who understands when he hears it, and he also brings him a top hat from time to time, which makes the originally boring guidance less boring.

After finishing the last point, Xavier drank the water from the glass and said to Skyler, "That's all for today, what else do you want to say?"

"The squad leader. Skyler suddenly showed an unspeakable expression, "I have a personal matter for you. ”

"Say yes. Xavier replied without any fluctuation, completely unable to understand why Skyler had a look on his face that wanted to say but didn't want to say.

"Okay, but before I say that, I hope you can keep it a secret for me, Captain, and I'll trouble you. Skyler continued to look embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it a secret. Hearing this, Xavier suddenly became sleepy, it seems that the future squad leader seems to be about to reveal some secrets, is it that he is no longer a man?

As a result, he said:

"Captain, I think I'm in love with Isabella!"

Xavier: "......"

Skyler obviously didn't notice the detachment leader's helpless expression, but continued to himself: "When I was fighting side by side with the detachment leader, wasn't I injured? ”

She was an angel, and at that moment, I felt the flame of my love affair with her ignited instantly. My soul began to suffer, and she was the one I slept day and night. I pray that my love with her will never end, like that of the Juktas. ”

"So, I can't suppress my love anymore, I heard that you have a good relationship with Isabella's friend Caroline, can you do me a favor and pass on my love letter full of love, so that the lady can feel my sincerity?"

Hearing this, Xavier almost wanted to draw his sword and cut it directly.

This Skyler, it's okay to look good, and his swordsmanship is not bad, but inside he is actually a sister and a loli control! Isabella is only fourteen years old? Isn't it enough for you to have a sister, and you still want to harm other people's little girls?

Immediately, he hurriedly coughed twice: "Skyler, I remember Isabella is only fourteen years old." ”

"Age is not an issue, not to mention, I think there is a seven-year difference between the captain and Caroline, and Isabella and I are only four years apart. Skyler replied with a sense of pity.

"This can't be confused!Wait, first of all, Caroline and I are not in that kind of relationship, and secondly, fourteen years old, no......" Xavier was about to continue to retort, but suddenly realized something.

In the Minoan Empire, fourteen years old is already the legal age of marriage, just like in ancient times, teenage marriages are endless, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with Skyler's behavior.

But his soul from the modern day still didn't allow him to accept such a thing, so he hurriedly continued.
