Volume 1 Tarot Apostles Chap.48 Tea Party of the Apostles
After the rain had passed, the soft light of the warm dawn was shining on the two of them, and the first class of the morning had ended.
It was only when she heard the crisp sound of rain drops from the trees falling in puddles of water that Lesna finally stopped crying, slowly unhooked her arms around Wallace's neck, and sobbed to meet his eyes.
Wallace stared at her face with the same gentle gaze as ever, and there was even an emotion in his eyes that was difficult to let go.
The look made her heart beat violently in her chest filled with joy.
After venting her emotions, Lesna realized what she had done, and she immediately stood up in panic with a red face.
"Great, Lesna, you look like you're back when the rain stops." Wallace also stood in front of her with a smile, putting away the umbrella and shaking the water droplets on it.
“… You are not allowed to tell anyone about this, do you hear me, or I... I won't forgive you. Lesna's face was covered with stubbornness and shame, and she pointed at Wallace and whispered a warning, but she seemed unconfident and intimidating, unable to compare with her usual appearance.
She looked very cute in Wallace's eyes.
Seeing her slightly soft side, which was diametrically opposed to usual, Wallace's heart flashed a fiery throbbing, and he also smiled and nodded with a crimson cheek: "Well, I will never say it, and I will help you keep it secret." ”
“… Oh, then I'll go back. Lesna patted her black pantyhose and turned to go back to the classroom.
Seeing that she was leaving, Wallace hurriedly stopped her: "That... Do you need me to send you back? ”
"There's no need for that, you should go back to the classroom early, you're so wet, your pants are stained on the floor, use this wipe to catch it-" Lesna threw him an unopened pack of tissues.
Wallace looked at the tissue in his hand and looked up at her again, "Lesna, this-"
"It was given to me by Rong Ya a few days ago, take it and use it, goodbye." With her back to him, Lesna strode away like an escaped prisoner.
The moist and sober air after the rain mingled with the scent of earth and plants, and the fallen cherry blossom petals gathered in the puddles, reflecting the blue sky and the sun, and many students walked out of the classroom to participate.
Faced with the heart-warming scenery, Lesna's mind was full of the way she hugged Wallace and cried, which was really an unspeakable embarrassment.
Thinking of the scene just now, her heartbeat began to beat involuntarily faster, and even her brain was about to be overloaded because of this, she covered her hot face with one hand, and slowly walked forward with the other hand in her clothes pocket.
"Lesna ——!" As she was strolling around the playground, she heard Boros' voice coming from behind her.
“… Boros...? She turned her head and saw Boros and Adity running towards her.
After the two ran to her and stopped, Aditya hurriedly stretched out her hands to take her cold and wet hands, and looked her up and down eagerly: "Lesna, are you raining...?" ”
"It's just a little bit of calming the mind and mood, it's not a big deal." Lesna shrugged her shoulders and replied lightly, letting her hold her hands.
"You're still wounded, aren't you? Isn't it good to be too strong? If you lose your body and beauty because of this, you won't be welcomed by the boys—" Before Boros could finish speaking, Adia stepped on his left foot, causing him to hold his foot and howl in pain.
Adia took out a gold-trimmed white handkerchief from her bosom, carefully and attentively wiped the rain from Lesna's hair and cheeks little by little, and spoke in a very soft tone like an elder: "I know you're sad, but you can't use this method to vent, it's very bad for your health, and Al he definitely doesn't want to see you like this." ”
Hearing the name of Los El, Lesna's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously reached out to hold the lilac brooch on her collar.
Seeing that her expression had become wrong, Boros bared his teeth and quickly stabbed Adity with his elbow to tell his sister to stop talking.
Seeing this, Lesna closed her eyes and chuckled, then opened her eyes to look at them and said, "It's okay, Boros, Adiya is right, and El wants us to defeat Azkeret before he dies." ”
"Lesna......" The two looked at each other for a moment, and then looked at her.
"Speaking of which, how did you end up here?" Lesna asked them with her hands on her chest.
Aditya lowered her eyes and replied slowly: "We don't have a class today, Boros is coming to see Yongzi, she was in a very bad state yesterday, and after being picked up by her agent, Boros has been worried about her, and I came to see you." ”
"Yongzi didn't come to school today, and everyone's mental state is also very poor." Thinking of how Maine and Lucas looked in the class, Lesna sighed lightly.
Boros immediately leaned over happily and said, "Then we have come to the right place, Commander Bessen asked us to bring you a message, after the lunch break, all the tarot apostles will go to the watchtower for a tea party, and they will not be at school in the afternoon." ”
"Huh?! It's true?! Lesna's eyes lit up when she heard that she was not going to school, and her tone was full of joy that could not be hidden.
"Well, that's good news for you!" Boros jumped up to Lesna and patted her on the shoulder with a smug expression.
"Lesna, please tell the others about this news, Yongzi's side Commander Beson will inform you, we will also help Commander Beson prepare a tea party, and we will drive to pick you up after school." Aditya placed her hands lightly on her shoulders.
Lesna nodded vigorously in reply to her with ecstatic eyes: "I know, then I'll go back first, see you at noon!" With that, she turned and ran quickly to the classroom.
After school at noon, the Marshall siblings drove Lesna and the others to the watchtower, where they took the elevator to the conference room on the top floor.
Lesna pushed open the door, and the warm heat hit her face, making her cold body instantly comfortable, and the sweet aroma of dessert also burrowed into everyone's noses.
They walked in and saw the empty conference table filled with all kinds of small cakes and cookies, sweets and breads, etc., and Mellisa was pouring hot cocoa and coffee into the cup.
Bessengerret added wood to the fireplace, the warm flame crackling the wood, and when he heard the door open, he and Mellisa turned their heads to look at them at the same time.
"Welcome, it's raining quite cold today, I heard that two people are in the rain, just make a fire by the fireplace, come and warm up." Bessengret quickly stood up, picked up two large dry blankets from her chair, and placed them in the hands of Lesna and Wallace.
"Thank you, Commander Beson!" After putting on the blankets, the two thanked Bessengret in unison.
Lesna and Wallace then sat cross-legged by the fireplace to warm up, and Mellisa brought them hot cocoa.
Maine took the hot drink from Bessengrett and politely thanked him, "It's my favorite coffee, thank you, Conductor Bessen." ”
"This orange cake is really good." Lucas cut off a piece with a fork and put it in his mouth.
When Mellisa walked up to Boros and handed him hot cocoa, he whistled with a fluttering eyebrow and said, "Miss Mellisa is here today, and you look prettier than ever." ”
"I've heard this kind of thing many times, I worked overtime a while ago, and today it's my turn to rest, I originally said that I was going to go shopping in the mall, but I heard that you seem to be in a trough, so I hurried over." Mellisa placed the white teapot on the table and looked at everyone.
When they heard this, they all fell silent with sad expressions on their faces, and did not answer.
The only sound in the huge conference room was the firewood burning from the fireplace.
Bessengrett sat down on the sofa unhurriedly with a black teacup in his hand, his eyes scanned around, and he took a sip of black tea before slowly speaking: "I have read Maine's report, and you have met unforgettable characters in battle, who have feelings for you and died to help you. ”
Hearing this, Lesna hung her head and clenched her collar with her right hand.
"For you, Lothel is already one of you, and I know all too well what it is to lose a dear friend, who died before my eyes when I fought against the leader of Azkereth." Bessengret lowered her eyes and stared silently at the cup of black tea.
This sentence instantly shocked everyone except Lesna and Lucas.
It was also this sentence that made Lesna's mind echo Bessengrett somewhere, and she looked up at the commander-in-chief.
"May I ask if your best friend is also a Tarot Apostle?" Main put down his coffee and stood at the table and asked.
"Yes, you should have heard his name, Luthechia Barnier, he is the holder of the twelfth inverted hanging card, and he is also Lucas's biological brother." Bessengret finished speaking lightly and took a sip of black tea.
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Lucas, who lowered his eyes, put his hands together on the table, and nodded silently.
"Lutherchia... That Rose Duke of Valerea... ......" Myne whispered to himself as he leaned against the edge of the table.
Aditya put down the cookie in her hand and looked at Bessengret: "I know that he is a neighbor of our Cliton country, a genius boy from Valerea, and a boy who looks as beautiful as Lucas." ”
"I heard he died in an accident, did he die in the battle with Azcree?" Wallace clenched his hands on the hot cocoa.
Hearing everyone's discussions, Bessengrete put down the black teacup, stood up and walked to Lucas's side, looked at everyone with his hands behind his back, and said, "So that's why I set up the Tarot Guardian Society, to defeat Azcret, and you are the same, and you must continue to fight with the heart of Los El." ”
He paused slightly, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him intently, he continued: "The battle with Azkeri was very cruel, and through this incident, I think you can also understand that there will be sacrifices when there is fighting, but I hope you can try to survive in the future battles." ”
"That's right, if you can defeat the squire card, it proves that you have the strength to fight Azkereth, and you must be fine." Mellisa sat on the armrest of the couch and looked at them with encouraging eyes.
Bessengrett nodded, and continued, "Yes, I believe in you, and the watchtower is not only a place of war for meetings, but also a harbor of warmth and strength for you, and I will always watch over you here." After saying that, he smiled kindly at everyone.
"Besson Commands ......"
"Commander ......"
Everyone was touched and encouraged by his words, and the rift in their hearts was slowly being repaired with the warmth he brought.
Lesna sat by the fireplace and drank hot cocoa, and saw Besengrett look down at Lucas with a smile and pat him on the shoulder, and Lucas also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the gate, which attracted everyone's attention.
