Chapter 52: If You Can't Escape
Just because someone doesn't like to talk doesn't mean he's unresponsive, a guy who looks big and grinning may have a surprisingly delicate mind, and a friend who smiles at you all day may cry in the middle of a night when no one is around.
You can never see through a person, because you can't even see through yourself.
"Why...... Why ......" Emilia seemed to be enchanted.
"Amilia, you've been muttering since just now. If you don't understand something, you can tell me and let me help you think about it. George said with a smile.
"You?" Emilia glanced at George with slanted eyes, noncommittal.
Although George's smile was very kind and kind, and made Emilia feel more comfortable than the charming smile of Prince Alsace, she still did not come back to her senses, and she lowered her head in a daze, and subconsciously grasped the hay on the ground with her hands.
"That...... Oh, though, though I'm just a weak, timid, and useless person, I still wish I could help, I ......," George whispered.
"It's none of your business. Emilia shook her head.
"I ......"
"I said, it's none of your business!" Amelia's voice suddenly raised, "you can't help anything, don't get involved with us anymore." You, let's go. ”
"You, why you, I just want to comfort you......" George replied weakly.
"Eh, I—I just said we?" asked Amilia, surprised.
"yes......" George asked inexplicably.
“......”
"You guys, do you mean you and Edward?"
"......" Emilia was speechless.
She squatted beside the tree, clasped her knees in her hands, and buried her head between her legs, not touching the light from the outside world.
Somehow, after hearing George's words, she subconsciously thought of Edward, and thought of the trouble they were about to face. She didn't think about George's words at all, and relied on her instincts to make judgments.
That's why she blurted out "we".
The silver-haired boy had been dangling in front of her eyes, and she wanted to chase the pesky figure away, but she couldn't.
"Amilia, I ......"
"George, you're so noisy. Emilia became very irritable, she did not raise her head, and said coldly to George, "Give up, that woman is not something you can reach." Even if you pester us, it won't come to fruition. ”
"Y-Who are you talking about?"
"Who else?" asked Amilia.
"Do you mean Edward's maid—Night?"
“......”
"Actually, I think she's pretty good, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"If she's not a slave, she must ......"
"Slave?" interrupted George, "you don't understand, you don't understand anything! you don't know what that woman betrayed, and you don't know what she wants!"
"But ......"
"But why are you bothered?" said Emilia in a whisper of inexplicable words, not as if to George, but to herself, "There will be no result! No! Yes, no...... The story was wrong from the start, and we already knew it, didn't we? But why...... Why go on? Why not let it end sooner?"
"W-That...... You don't think you're telling me, are you? It doesn't feel like something is right......"
"Whoa, get out of here. ”
"Amilia, are you—are you alright?"
"Wasn't that direct enough? That woman can't like you, there's nothing in her eyes but that person, you know?"
"The ......"
"Why don't you listen to him, why do you always insist on going your own way? Why don't you always believe him when everything he says is right?"
"That...... Amilia, what the hell is wrong with you?"
"I! I'm ......" Emilia looked up suddenly, staring blankly at George's worried expression, and then looked up at the sky above her, as if she were in a different world.
She took a deep breath and seemed to calm down.
"Sorry, I'm a little ......"
"Hehe, nothing. George smiled nonchalantly, "I guess you're so nervous because you're worried about Edward." Don't worry, his words will definitely be fine. ”
"W-What? I-I don't worry about him...... He's he, he's better die there!" Emilia quickly defended herself.
"It's impossible to die there...... Even if he can't beat John's gang, he can still escape!"
"Escape?" Emilia looked at George in surprise, stunned for a long time, and then sighed, as if remembering something, "yes, he can still escape." But I can't ......."
That's right, if you can't beat it, you can escape, what a simple truth. But for Amilia, this truth is really a long time ago.
She is a brave man, and since that day seven years ago, she has forgotten what it means to escape. On the battlefield, she was always the first to face the enemy, and she was always the first to be wounded.
Because she is a brave man, a brave man cannot retreat, and he cannot escape.
However, after meeting the teenager, everything is different.
When he was trapped in the enchantment and was bombarded by the ninth-order magic to the point that he only had half a life left, it was he who escaped from the trap of death with his arms, and when he was surrounded by the Black Flame Gang and was about to be killed by a group of miscellaneous soldiers who didn't even have a name, it was he who abandoned himself, and then the ghost sent a rescue to save himself, and saved himself when he was desperate.
He had taught herself what it meant to be evasive and what it meant to be cowardly—these were not forgotten by Emilia.
I owe him two lives. Two.
"Yes, of course, if you can't beat it, you'll have to run away. George smiled and said, "I may be incompetent, I may not be able to do anything, but I don't want to give up, at least I have to try! Even if the night doesn't like me, what does it matter? Even if we do fail, we can still escape." ”
"I'm sorry, George, for saying too much to you. Emilia took a deep breath, flicked the dead leaves and dust on her body, stood up at once, and then said to George seriously, "George, in fact, you are a very good student, you don't need to be so inferior." It's good to like someone to say it out loud.
"Uh......"
"Although, it may not be appropriate for me to say that......" Emilia suddenly remembered something and laughed to herself.
"I—Where am I inferior? Also, who says I like her, I just want her to be free...... You, you, don't talk nonsense!"
"Hehe, you're right. Even if you get it wrong from the start, you can't give up easily. Emilia clenched her fists, "Even if there is no ending, even if I fail, I can still escape! When did I lose even this courage? I, a brave man, really don't look good......
Emilia suddenly realizes that she has inadvertently become a cowardly wastewood. She would only hide behind Edward, relying on the "most trustworthy enemy", and at the same time, stubbornly taking it for granted, a sign of bravery.
A small Arthas made her panic, making her lose all her courage and pride, if she faced the door of original sin, I really don't know if she would be directly frightened and fainted.
Emilia made up her mind.
"Y-what did you just say? Are you a brave man?" George's eyes widened.
"I didn't say that. Don't be wordy!" Emilia grabbed George by the collar again and dragged him along.
"Don't, let me go, let me go...... Didn't you just say tell me to go quickly, and don't get involved with you?" George struggled desperately.
"Shut up...... Come with me!"
"Don't, don't drag me anymore, my clothes are going to break!"
Same scenario.
George was actually forcibly taken away from the Wild Bear tribe by Emilia by the collar, and now, he was forcibly dragged back again.
Emilia has only one goal......
In the distance, Emilia saw the blonde boy standing on the field in the wind, and the fat big fat man John and his companions.
Emilia stood on her tiptoes, looking for the pesky guy.
She was the only one who found no trace of the man.
Did he really escape? No, something was wrong...... He, he didn't run away, he must have been given by them......
A terrible hypothesis popped into Amilia's mind.
In an instant, a strong fear welled up in Amilia's mind. Without that support, her world seemed to lose its color, turning into monotonous black and white, and even her blood-red eyes completely lost their light, pale and empty.
In the next second, her eyes were occupied by madness!
So, she let go of George and ran to the blonde boy as fast as she could.
"Your Royal Highnesses the King and Prince, be careful!"
"What?"
Emilia rushed over, punched Arthas to the ground before he could react, stomped on his chest with one foot, and asked loudly, "Edward, where is he, where is he, what have you done to him?"
============
Hogg House, Mercury Workshop.
"My good sister, let me go. I didn't fight, so why did you take me away?"
"Did I mention you fought?"
"Don't make a fuss...... Good sister, I didn't violate the school rules, don't punish me. ”
"Did I say I'm going to punish you?"
"Then why did you arrest me? Could it be that you, you are ...... to me? Uh, when I didn't say anything. ”
Feeling Angelina's murderous gaze, Edward closed his mouth in amusement.
"Come with me, there's something to tell you, if you dare to run? Angelina gestured twice with her hand to her neck, her smile smirking with murder.
"Can't I go with you......" Edward sighed.
He looked back in the direction of the Wild Bear Tribe, remembered that person, and inexplicably felt a faint anxiety in his heart.
"She shouldn't be that stupid, right?"
Edward chuckled dryly and hurried to Angelina.
