Chapter 69: The Art of Lying
Along the way, Edward's heart was bruised and bruised by all sorts of strange things, so that by the end of the day, he had become numb and turned a deaf ear to all the strange words that came his ears.
The peaceful campus life is getting farther and farther away from him for some reason, but his story is far from over.
Tomorrow,It's the school festival.。
Perhaps, for the past countless nights, Emilia has been carrying a drunken Angelina home like him.
What it was like, Edward couldn't tell, he just felt very comfortable.
Although Emilia will not remember what he said, and although he will not take what Emilia says, he will not take it seriously, but even so, he still feels very comfortable.
If time can be frozen at this moment and never pass, it would be a very happy thing for him to carry Emilia on his back all the time, right?
Edward suddenly understood something.
Perhaps, the two drunkards love to drink, not because they really like to drink that bitter liquid, but because they like the feeling of pleasure after that.
Remove all responsibilities and worries, take your trusted partner, and go to the bar to get drunk. For Emilia, that must have been a super feeling.
Even if you get drunk and make a fool of yourself, what can you do? Anyway, you won't remember anything, anyway, you have a partner around you who can move you home, whatever!
The next day.
"Yesterday, I was drunk?" asked Amilia.
"Hmm. ”
"You, who brought me back?"
"Hmm. ”
"Why are you on the high street?"
"Buy ice cream to eat. Edward replied.
"Ice cream?"
"Yes. ”
"Oh. I—I ...... yesterday Did I say anything strange to you yesterday?"
"Nope. Edward shook his head.
"Really?"
"Really. You didn't say anything, you slept until now. ”
"Oh. ”
The above is a conversation between the two of them in the morning.
As she got out of bed, Emilia looked incredulously at the walls around her, and at Edward, who was asleep on the other bed.
Everything in front of her was both strange and familiar to her, and the scene that finally stuck in her mind was obviously not here, but the bloody night bar.
Emilia couldn't remember anything about last night, her brain was empty, and the only thing she remembered was that she had been carried back to Hoag House by Edward.
So, there is the above dialogue.
After receiving Edward's vague answer, Emilia chose to remain silent and did not delve further.
There are some things that are better forgotten......
"Are you, your body, better?" asked Amilia, staring out the window, feigned absent-mindedness.
"It's fine. Edward rubbed his stomach and replied lazily.
After last night's recuperation, his body has recovered. Although ice cream had no healing power, he was convinced that it was the ice cream from the House of the Resurrected that prompted him to heal early.
If it hadn't been for the guy who called himself Scar Jill spilled his ice cream, he would have made a complete recovery!
He thought fiercely.
"I've got something to do, ...... I'll go first. Emilia hesitated, but finally didn't say anything.
She gently pushed open the door and slowly stepped out of the door.
"Wait. ”
"What?"
Hearing Edward's retention, Emilia immediately stopped, as if she had been prepared.
"What did Arthas tell you yesterday?" asked Edward, pretending to be casual.
"......," Emilia didn't answer.
"Messed up again? Looks like we can't stay here anymore. Edward sighed.
If he offended Arthas, Edward couldn't think of anything else but to leave.
After all, he is not a human being, and even if he is, he does not have the strength to compete with a prince in the territory of human beings.
"Nope. He...... He just asked me to accompany him today. Emilia whispered.
"W-What, accompany him?"
"Accompany him to the school festival.。 ”
"Oh...... So, what are you going to do?"
"I'm leaving. Emilia stood in the doorway, without looking back.
She didn't know if it was a goodbye or an answer to Edward.
"......" Edward was silent, as if he hadn't heard Amilia.
"I'm leaving?"
Emilia repeated it in a whisper, as if to remind Edward.
"Oh, you go. Goodbye, be careful. ”
"Hmmm......"
There was a thud, and the door was slammed shut by the wind.
The school festival began.
==================
Early morning.
Hogg House, a certain house.
One spacious house, two busy people.
Arthas groomed himself in front of the mirror, combing every strand of his hair smoothly. He put on a noble dress, no matter how low-key he was usual, every inch of extravagant fabric was announcing to others that I was unique.
Because,Today is the school festival of Hoag House.,
In contrast, the other person in the room looked uneasy,
"Dent, you can do the task I gave you, right?" Arthas asked Dent with a smile as he stood guard at the door.
"Your Highness......"
"What's wrong? You can't do it?"
"No, it's just ......"
"Haha, Dent, are you scared? You're afraid of them? haha. Arthas clutched his stomach and laughed when he heard Dent's reply.
"Your Highness......" The corners of Dent's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Aren't you, Your Highness, afraid of them?"
"I—How can I be afraid of them? I'm a prince, how can I be afraid of those two little women?"
"Then, Your Highness, Dent still has some chores to deal with, so he will go first. I'm sorry, but I can't protect your visit to the school festival. ”
"This ......," Alsace choked, "although, although I am a prince, I can't do everything myself." This is a very important task, and it is related to the future national fortunes of the Holy Empire! So, Dent, I hope you can complete it successfully!"
"Okay......
Dent sighed helplessly and silently agreed.
It was clear that he just wanted to have a good day irresponsibly, but when it came to his mouth, it became a task "related to the fortune of the country", and Dent didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Dent, let's walk through it. Arthas cleared his throat, looking like he was enjoying himself.
"Okay......
In the face of his master's naughty behavior, Dent could only blacken his old face and cooperate with his head.
"Ahem, from now on, I am Hailin, you, or yourself. ”
"Okay, Your Highness......"
"So, let's get started. Arthas snorted and whispered, "Dent, what about the others in Arthas?"
“......”
Hearing Alsace's shrill voice, Dent didn't react for a moment.
"Dent, what about you, what about the others in Arthas, is he going to find Flandor again?"
"No, no, no, His Royal Highness the Prince, he, he ...... He's going to look for ......," Dent replied weakly, coming back to his senses.
"Who did he go to?" Hmph, don't try to lie to me, tell me quickly!" Arthas asked angrily, following the tone of Helen.
"Uh...... He, he's going to find Lance!" Although he knew that this was just a drill, Dent was still a little nervous," Marshal Lance said, there was an important military matter that needed the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, so early this morning, His Royal Highness the Prince followed Marshal Lance out of the city. His Royal Highness the Prince will not participate in today's school festival. ”
"He's out of town? Hmph, forget it. You'd better not lie to me, if I catch him, the consequences will ...... Dent, you know very well. ”
"Yes, yes, Dent understands......"
"Hey, I said Dent, why are you so scared? It's just a rehearsal. Arthas returned to his normal voice, frowned and said, "She can see through your half-baked acting skills at a glance, and even Flandor can't be fooled." ”
"This ......"
"Look up and look each other in the eye! Dent, you're such an honest man that you can't even lie?"
"Your Royal Highness, I ......"
Dent was depressed.
Alsace this is standing and talking without back pain. There is a world of difference between lying to others and lying to Helen or Flando.
He knew very well in his heart that if he were to change to his master, Arthas, he would not even have the courage to lie, and Helen would recruit them all as long as he stared......
Knock knock.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Arthas and Dent tensed their nerves in an instant, as if they were facing a great enemy. They looked at each other, and then reacted in a split second.
Arthas immediately closed his mouth, gave Dent a look, and motioned for him to open the door, while he hid on the other side of the room, clinging to the wall, and eavesdropping on the outside.
Dent understood, and waited for Arthas to hide before opening the door.
"I'm looking for Alsace. Outside the room, a stiff voice sounded.
"Yes, is that you?"
The man who appeared in front of him left Dent speechless.
If it were someone else, he could have perfunctory the other party with the rhetoric he had prepared in advance, but now, he couldn't do it.
"What about the boy Arthas, let him out!" the man commanded with a sense of pity.
“......”
Dent didn't want to betray his master, but the man in front of him forced him to do so.
The words he had planned with Arthas didn't work, and he couldn't even try to lie to this man.
Because, this person is Lance......
