The golden sunlight shone on the bed in the bedroom, and the girl who had just woken up was still sitting on the bed and opening her eyes tiredly, with a little deep tiredness and a very embarrassing shyness on her face - she had slept all day before she woke up, how could that damn bastard not wake himself up, and lose such a big person!

But soon, the shame on the girl's face immediately turned into surprise, and even a trace of fear, and even the look of wonder in those sapphire-like eyes after taking a long breath.

"Edward, he's—he's leaving?!"

Alan, who screamed loudly, grabbed the little maid's shoulder tightly, and the little maid who was in pain had to nod pitifully: "Yes, I saw Lord Edward's guards packing up their things this morning." Listen to the squire named Goodwin that they will leave the Hague Fort tomorrow and go to the city of Turin. ”

"Why?" Allen's face flashed with a hint of confusion, followed by a hint of fear - could it be that everything was a lie to me, just a lie to amuse me, and that he was leaving after only one day?!

The girl's lips trembled, and her mind seemed to fly over the vows that Edward had made, and the words he had said to herself that night...... Really, really just to get the title of Lord of Fort Hague, for this territory, Edward Witwood?!

"Miss......" The little maid looked at Alan with some fear, and when she saw the little tears in her eyes, she couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but plan to comfort her: "Actually, Lord Edward, he may not really want to leave voluntarily, people think it's ......."

"No, I'll have to ask him. I'm going to ask this bastard myself!" Gritted his teeth, Alan sat up from the bed, his gaze still showing the same stubbornness: "If he really plans to leave The Hague Castle, then I will definitely go with him - I will never let this bastard leave me again!"

Looking at Allen, who was struggling to stand up, the little maid who was going to comfort her had no choice but to lower her head: "...... Please let me change your clothes, you can't just go out. ”

After changing his clothes, Alan forced himself to hold back his inner resentment and walked out of the room, trying to maintain that calm expression and pass through the corridors of the castle. Through the window, Edward's attendants could be seen directing the servants to load their luggage onto the carriage. Apparently packing his belongings for departure - it seems that he was really preparing to leave.

Guarding the door was Edward's captain of the guard, Donner, a former pirate leader and a Lund barbarian. This guy's rude appearance and strong body are like a real devil, and the little maid who was half frightened didn't even dare to move, hiding behind the corner with an expression that was about to cry.

"Greetings, Miss Ellen!" Although Donner did not know the little girl in front of him, he also knew that it was Lord Edward's wife, and immediately bent down respectfully, and did not forget to say more: "The day you got married." I'm your and Edward's coachman!"

"I want to see your master. Alan said calmly, "Is he in there?"

Donner nodded quickly, and Alan gently pushed the door open and walked in alone—she remembered that this was her father's study, though she had rarely seen him walk in.

The room was a little dark, and a bright ray of sunlight shone through the crack in the window on the desk, the corners of which were stacked with piles of parchment scrolls, and Edward was sitting with a hose pen and writing something, as if he hadn't noticed that someone had walked in.

"What are you doing?" Alan looked at Edward who was struggling to write with some curiosity, "Is it something very important?"

"Something more trivial. But it is very important for both The Hague and Horn. Edward smiled and replied, "If I can't finish it, I don't dare to leave like this."

A hint of desperation flashed across Allen's face. Walking up to Edward's side step by step, he probably didn't even notice: "So, you're really leaving?"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Edward, who raised his head, pursed his lips, stared at his new wife's cheeks, which were still a little green, and nodded slightly. In an instant, Alan, who was a little distracted, almost fell to the ground.

And in the next instant. Alan suddenly rushed up and threw himself into Edward's arms, hugging his neck tightly, Edward, who didn't even have time to react, was almost a little stunned, a wry smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and gently patted the girl's back.

"Don't leave me. Edward, you swore - you swore to protect me for the rest of your life, please stay in Fort Hague!" Allen's voice was full of tears: "I really don't want to be like my mother, didn't you promise not to let me become like that?!"

"Of course not—in the name of the Radiant Cross, don't forget that we are God-blessed couples!" Edward whispered in Alan's ear in a natural tone, his soft voice slowly soothing her fragile heart, "Why do you think I dare to forget my vows?"

"Then why did you leave Fort The Hague, isn't it bad here, or do you miss your days in Turin so much?" Alan, who was almost crying, put her arms around Edward's shoulders and asked her husband face to face: "Or we can go to Fort Clarion and live, as long as we are together anywhere!"

"My dear little wife...... When did I tell you that I would leave you in The Hague Castle and go to Turin City by myself?" Edward smiled and retorted, "Wherever I go, you will go - isn't that a matter of course?"

"We're all going to Turin - just like last time - and of course, this time it's the Witwood family, but it's not just one or two. ”

Allen's face turned red when he heard the words "The Witwoods", but he didn't pay attention, and the bastard in front of him had already picked up her cheek and kissed her lightly on the lips that were still trembling, turning all the problems into long gasps......

Slowly soothing the girl, Edward was able to come out of the study after completely convincing Alan that he would never leave her alone—it was not easy to convince the newlywed little wife, and it was no less difficult for Edward than the bloody battle in Bright Star City.

Pushing open the door, Edward, who had just walked through the hallway, turned around and saw Viscount Otto Kwyn standing in front of him, his expression not very "friendly".

"Ready to leave? I thought you'd think about it for a few more days, but I didn't expect it so soon. ”

"The king has a life, and he does not dare to disobey. Edward replied with a smile, "You must not let your Majesty down, especially at times like these—it seems that Greene Turn, too, has told you?"

"Even if he doesn't tell me, I can guess what the reason is - you are really unscrupulous to use this excuse to prevaricate me, or am I already a pure old fool in your eyes?" The old man's expression looked extremely indifferent: "Don't think of yourself too smartly, that will only end up with you little bastard!"

"I didn't marry Alan to give you a chance to bully her, but to let you protect her, care for her, and care for her for the rest of your life - I agreed to this marriage just because it was Alan herself, not because you have how capable you are!"

"I know how lucky I am and thank you for being able to ......"

"Don't interrupt me here, Edward Witwood - I know very well why you want to leave The Hague, and I don't care. Viscount Otto snorted vigorously: "I don't expect an ambitious fanatic like you to live in the southern countryside for the rest of his life, unless it is profitable. (To be continued......)
