End of February.

After saying goodbye to many acquaintances, Xavier left the capital, where he had lived for about a month.

According to his original plan, he should help Nord enter the Swordsman Association during this time, and then he can safely reach the Vasiliki Kingdom to find Captain Liszt's master.

However, due to the incident in the Great Hall, the apprentice unfortunately left Xavier forever, becoming a small number that dotted the system data, and also gave Xavier no motivation to stay in the capital after defeating Anwen Pendragon.

Now that he is staying in the capital, what is there to do, which is worth doing?

It is better to follow the original thoughts, go to the kingdom of Vasiliki, find Viscount Wallace, the demon hunter who made Count Josephine gnash his teeth, show him the letter from the captain, and learn from him, trying to understand his superb swordsmanship, who has the name of 'the first sword in the south'.

That was what he was trying to do in the first place.

But before that, he got into a carriage and traveled north for about a day, arriving at the church of Saint-Cecil, where Caroline now lives.

When he arrived at the church, it was already quite dark, and it was about one o'clock in the evening, Xavier pushed open the door of the church, and found only one person inside, kneeling there, praying to Mother Earth, who was none other than Father Paul, the benevolent middle-aged man who had helped Xavier get rid of the vampires.

Feeling the presence of outsiders, the priest did not affect his kneeling posture, but completed the ritual reverently, and then slowly stood up, turned around and smiled at Xavier, "Good evening, young man." ”

"Good evening, Father. Xavier replied respectfully, knowing very well that there was a great deal of strength under this kind expression, "Didn't it bother you?"

"I don't need sleep. The priest gave a reply that left Xavier speechless, "But I don't think you're here today to make small talk with me, an ordinary priest. ”

"Yes, I'm here to visit Caroline. Xavier didn't hide his intentions, because there was nothing to hide.

"Well, it's normal for teenagers and girls to be attached to each other. The priest nodded, and pointed to the small door in the distance, "She's in that room, go ahead." ”

"Thank you. Xavier thanked him.

And just as Xavier was leaving, he suddenly heard the priest behind him say this

"Boy, deal with the haze in your heart. ”

After saying that, he returned to his previous kneeling posture and no longer faced Xavier, but the black-haired swordsman's thoughts fluctuated slightly.

Xavier smiled bitterly, admittedly, the guilt was still haunting his heart, but it was not as uncomfortable as it was at the beginning, but it still needed a while to deal with.

And the priest's meaning, I should not be affected by it, this is really kind Xavier shook his head, and pushed open the door of Caroline's room in a flash.

When Xavier came to Caroline's room, there was no light in the room, and in the darkness, Xavier saw the girl lying on the bed with a slight hunched body by the moonlight by the window, like a hamster, very cute.

Such a gesture made Xavier can't help but walk over to get a closer look at the appearance of his loved one, he has not looked at it for more than a month, although this behavior undoubtedly seems a little strange, but the momentum in his mind still makes him put it into action.

However, perhaps because his footsteps were not well controlled, the girl seemed to sense his coming, and woke up for a moment, and turned her gaze away, but she was suddenly relieved.

That's the person she trusts the most.

"I'm sorry, Caroline, didn't I wake you up. Xavier, who found that the girl was woken up by himself, said apologetically, and then saw Caroline shake her head, light the candle next to her, and smile at Xavier

"No, Mr. Xavier, it's great to see you. ”

"Me too. Xavier replied with a genuine smile, and sat down next to Caroline.

The faint light of the candle illuminated Caroline's unpowdered face, she got up from the quilt gently, wearing pink pajamas, the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing watery eyes, pink lips opened gently, and said to Xavier, "The last time I saw you, sir, was more than a month ago." ”

"Well, that's about the time. ”

"Then sir, you must have experienced a lot of hard things in the capital. ”

"It's okay" Xavier didn't want to share his fatigue with Caroline, and a smile appeared on his face, "As long as you see Caroline, all the hard work is worth it." ”

Hearing this answer, the girl's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, obviously sensing something, but past experience told her that at this time, don't ask questions, just quietly accompany the beloved in front of her, and even picked up Xavier's hands.

"Sir, you said it wasn't hard, but your hands were cold, let me warm you up. ”

As she spoke, she put Xavier's cold hands into the warm bed, and she rubbed herself against them, trying to create heat energy to come out.

Seeing this scene, Xavier only felt infinite warmth, not only the warmth from his hands, but also from his heart, which made people sigh why she could be so understanding, and whether her father-in-law had saved the galaxy in his previous life to get such a perfect daughter.

At this point, he let Caroline continue her movements, and when she stopped, he raised his hand directly, looked at Caroline's stunned face, and hugged her into his arms.

Holding the girl in one hand, Xavier slid his other hand into the girl's silky hair, gaining a delicate touch that made him gently stroke it back and forth.

This is actually the so-called touching the head in her arms, and Caroline did not resist this behavior, but was stunned for a moment at first, and then blushed and closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was enduring it or being shy, she could only see her small hand on the other side, and grabbed the sheet subconsciously.

After all, what's the point of touching the head and killing him? Xavier didn't know, he just thought he enjoyed it.

For example, when you see a cute little girl/boy, or even a kitten, you may not be able to help but want to touch his hair, probably this is the reason, it should express the feeling of pity and love.
