“......”

“......”

Dense words and arguments rang in my ears.

"After our rigorous search, the available information can only prove ......"

The brightly lit room was full of people, and whenever someone left in front of them, the rear immediately filled in the seats. Everyone had papers of varying thicknesses in their hands, and the person at the front of the line would quickly report on their work, and after receiving an answer, either put the paperwork on the table or leave in frustration or frustration.

Wriggling his body, he found that he was like a caterpillar in a cocoon, in addition to the bandages wrapped around his body, there were several thick brown cloth bands that bound him firmly.

In the gray space, at the edge of the border with the bright reality, six familiar figures stood listening to the reports of the people in the room.

I wanted to shout out to the figure in front of me, but I found that my mouth was sealed with a strip of cloth, so I could only follow them to watch the outside world. During this period, the figure in his heart turned back several times to look this way, but in the end he didn't look at himself.

In the room, slowly only a few people remained, and after watching the last person leave and close the door, all eyes looked at the woman in the chair.

"That's why I hate dealing with government affairs!"

The woman stretched down lamentingly, and after finishing the paperwork on the table, she got up and clapped her hands. The junction of gray and light began to ripple, and the figure on the edge walked out first, and then his own body followed with the push of others.

On either side of the room stood twelve girls in unison, each with a familiar face, but now they stood still like exquisite sculptures. On one side of the table stood a lady dressed as a maid, and three men with serious expressions, watching the guards push themselves into the middle.

"Okay, it looks like the personnel are all here, and the next topic is to discuss his handling method, and you can put forward any opinions."

Crumpled her neck and walked to the table, leaning back and looking at everyone. The three men looked at each other and immediately expressed their opinions, and soon after a disagreement, a violent argument broke out between the three.

Heatrice's eyes were closed and her neck was twisting, and the maid beside her looked at them in distress because she couldn't speak. The guards standing on both sides kept an eye on themselves, and with a slight twist, they immediately clenched their weapons as if they were about to attack them at any moment.

"You have all heard the situation report just now, and the culprits of this incident are Jesit, the leader of the Cadet Corps, and Sroko, who is also a member of the Cadet Corps. Regardless of their motives, it is sufficient to convict them of a crime based on the fact that they bullied the weak and abused their power to transfer the guards without authorization. As for the monster's behavior and abilities that Rosroko accused, subsequent investigation revealed that his accusations were not realistic, and it could even be argued that those words were nothing more than quibbles to exonerate them. ”

Heatrice stood up straight to interrupt the trio's argument, took out a stack of papers from the table behind her, and threw it to them after reading it.

"For the punishment of the two of them, Sroko has been assigned to the garrison patrol of East Los for training. Jessette was seriously injured by his own magic in this incident and is now hospitalized for treatment, and given his current physical condition, it can be regarded as a punishment for him, and he will be placed on probation. Now we are going to talk about what to do with his departure and stay. ”

All eyes of the audience fell on the body of the five-flowered tying man, and Heatrice smiled and stepped forward to remove the strip of cloth from her mouth.

To sum up, if he continues to stay in the Junior Corps, it cannot be ruled out that Jesit's colleagues will take action again in the future, which will lead to more serious tragedy. But if he is transferred out of the Cadet Corps, what kind of work can he do with his current age and strength? As for what you are talking about, it is clearly not appropriate for this child. ”

Heatrice rubbed the corners of her eyes in embarrassment, but her eyes kept scanning the crowd. The three people on the side looked at each other at the paperwork in their hands, and the girls held their dresses tightly and looked at each other.

The atmosphere became unusually tense and quiet, and Heatrice looked up at everyone, and seeing that she was about to lament, Airi in the queue took a step forward. Just as Heatrice's eyes were about to look at Airi, the silence was broken by a voice beside her.

"Lord Heatrice, I have a proposal. We just lack a teenager who can help and make up for what the girls can't do. Children will also encounter some sudden dangers in their daily lives, and if they are accompanied by him, it will definitely bring them a lot of security. Of course, I'm referring to the strong man of the future. ”

Heatrice looked at the maid beside her, and Airi retracted her steps and joined them in looking at the owner of the voice, Lady Elsie.

"Anyway, it's been a long time since the Twelve Maids have increased their manpower! It's time to think about adding some blood, but it's a shame for him to only work in the maids' regiment..."Heatrice frowned.

"What do you think of this?" Elsie smiled, "Assign him to work with us, and after completing the tasks I have assigned him every day, he will spend the rest of his time participating in the regular training of the Cadet Corps, and the knowledge of ethics can be handed over to the children to tutor him." If he agrees and you don't dispute that, just get a pass for him. ”

Chilly's proposal struck a chord with Heatrice, who looked at the other three, and although they objected, they were defeated by Elsie's verbal assault before the proposal was approved. And it was only natural that he became the thirteenth of the twelve maids.

After the people in the room left one after another under Heatrice's watch, Heatrice untied the restraints on her body and leaned on the table to look at him quietly.

Those deep, dark red pupils, like all-seeing eyes that saw the world, were watching with interest as they painfully broke free from their bondage. With a smile on her delicate and slightly aged cheeks, she got up and walked over to the table and poured a glass of cold water, which with a magical power levitated and floated towards the glass. When subconsciously recalling the world he saw after merging with Yu, the trajectory of the water cup appeared in front of him.

"Heh, you can see the mystery of this magic, right?" Heatrice asked with a smile, and continued after seeing her look of astonishment.

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can know that if it weren't for the help of others, you would not have been able to escape the effects of the fireball technique in such a crisis, and you would even lose your life under his attack. So, I'm curious about who actually helped you? ”

Heatrice bent down and stared at herself tightly, her cold gaze shivering. After a few moments of staring at each other, as Heather tried to avoid her gaze, Heatrice slowly closed her eyes, got up and snapped her fingers before returning to the table and leaning against it.

Like a kitten twisted by someone's neck, his body stood up at once, and after the floating ripples flashed in front of him, a set of neatly arranged tables and chairs appeared in front of him. Before he could react, his body sat down on the chair with a force.

"First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to you for not being so violent after the last duel that you were seriously injured. Secondly, I should consider the details before deciding whether or not to assign you to the Cadet Corps to avoid such incidents. ”

Heatrice bent slightly to apologize to her, and then sat down in front of her, when the door behind her opened, and a beautiful maid walked in with a dining cart. After saluting the two people at the table, he brought a variety of delicious desserts from the dining car and placed them on the table.

At the suggestion of Heatrice, she picked up the silver spoon and put a piece of dessert into her mouth, the delicate and silky taste instantly dissolved the anxiety and defense in her heart, and after seeing that she was not disgusted, she chose another piece and put it in her mouth.

"Eat slowly, if it's not enough."

Heatrice also picked up a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth. When she looked at it again, the temperament and demeanor she showed at this moment were the same as before, and her red eyes changed to blue. I don't know if I was fascinated by it, but after Heatrice paid attention to her gaze, she was a little shy to dodge it, and she just smiled.

"You know, the world we live in is just a world that we can see, and there is another world under this world, which we call the foreign world. There are many disembodied beings who feed on the beliefs and desires of others, and who will take over their bodies after consuming the spirits of others, in order to gain new life. ”

"Let's not judge the good or bad of those consciousnesses, but their appearance is inseparable from the strong desire for life. I believe that in such a dangerous situation, there must be some faith that sustains you to attract their attention and help you out of the crisis. Heatrice paused.

"Can you tell me in detail what happened and what you saw?"

He put down the spoon in his hand and looked at the smiling Heatrice, perhaps the sweetness of the food in front of him had made him forget the pain, or maybe the memories and resentments had dissipated with his departure. Even though she once seriously injured herself to the ground, and what Jessette did had something to do with her, her current self didn't resent her, and even wanted to show off that magical feeling of holding power to the person in front of her.

A child is a child after all, and the simple heart makes them not care too much, even if you have hurt him, as long as he cries and griefs and affirms him, the dark world will become clear because of your presence.

After much thought, she finally told her everything that had happened, and when she talked about Yu, although she was flickering, she still said it under the constant inducement of Heatrice. Just as the two were chatting, two panicked-looking clerks suddenly broke into the room, and when they saw Heatrice's slightly angry expression, they immediately adjusted their posture and stood aside and waited for her to send her away.

In a room on the west side of the castle, Jess was lying on a hospital bed covered in bandages. A nurse next to her untied the bandage stained with yellow and red liquid, wiped off the mucus from the wound with a cotton swab, and applied the medicine evenly to the festering skin.

A gorgeously dressed, well-dressed, well-behaved lady was sitting on the sidelines crying softly, cursing something in her mouth, while the middle-aged man in the bright red cloak beside her stared at Jesité without saying a word.

"The results have been released, Master Jessie is currently on probation, and his subordinate Sroko has been transferred to the garrison along the coastline, as for the boy......" An adjutant walked briskly to the side to report.

"What happened to the boy?" The majestic voice made the adjutant tremble.

"That boy is assigned to Elsie's command, but he will also participate in the team's various trainings, as for the detailed schedule, I will immediately investigate it!" The adjutant hurriedly replied.

Seeing the man nodding, the adjutant immediately walked out of the room. The woman also stood up and walked over to the man, wiping away tears and leaning on him. He tightened his grip on the sword at his waist and took the woman into his arms.

If work is the second battlefield of life, then the kitchen will be the most important first battlefield, because it is about everyone's stomach. At this moment, the kitchen was full of smoke, white mist and gray smoke competed for air, and two girls were busy by the fire. One girl picks up a bamboo basket and walks slowly towards the kitchen counter, while another places the ingredients on a cutting board and chops them.

"It's all a bunch of cute kids! Many of them were homeless orphans who had been adopted by the Earl during his travels. Here, they don't have to worry about food and drink, and they only need to complete the most basic work every day in exchange for living expenses, so everyone has the highest respect for him. Elsie led her into the kitchen.

"It's the kids who are asking to bring you in, so get along with them. At present, your injuries have not healed, so you are only responsible for helping them serve dishes and clean them, and communicate with Leah at any time if you have any questions. ”

The girl, who was temporarily idle, ran to greet her with a smile after seeing Elsie and Ao. Elsie smiled and stroked their heads, pointed out some details of their work, and after a few words, handed them over to them, and left the room.

As at the beginning, the girls laughed and took the boy's hand to the table, constantly explaining the details of life and work, and after arranging the chair and sitting down, they reluctantly threw themselves back into their work, during which the other girls also greeted them.

Sitting alone not far away and watching them, there was only a thin line between loneliness and busyness, and the figure with a heart in mind was preparing ingredients alone at the moment, standing in a familiar position to cook thick soup. With a smile on everyone's face, they shuttled back and forth from their respective posts in an orderly manner, and with just a hand, a fire raged in the stove and the smell of fragrance reverberated in the kitchen.

The lively atmosphere always touches the hearts of the people, and I want to blend in with them, help them when they carefully pick up the plates, and give a hand when the girl who is lighting the fire next to them is tired. But countless good thoughts are swallowed up by something, and the high emotions aroused are extinguished.

"I... Why is it born? ”

Whenever I think about this question, I always feel an inexplicable sense of emptiness in my heart.

"What would the world become if it lost me?" - It seems that no one remembers himself, as if his life seemed superfluous from the beginning. Being seriously injured, being bullied by the boys, being transferred from here to there, no one has ever paid attention to themselves, and no one has ever cared about their feelings......

The outstretched hand slowly fell, and the clear vision gradually became hazy with tears. I want to hug each other and hide in the corner crying, but deep down there is something in my heart that supports me to walk to the girl not far away. She looked at this side as if sensing herself, and the sweet smile that appeared appeared was like a lightsaber that broke through the air, cutting through the gloom in her heart and guiding the way forward.

A pair of hands pushed their backs forward, and in surprise, the girls came to the front and took their palms and walked towards the kitchen counter. Everyone was full of laughter, and when they saw that they were a little unhappy, they took out various snacks from their belly pockets, or took one from the plate for themselves to taste.

Surrounded by them, they walked farther and farther away from the table and chairs, and when they looked back, there was a lonely boy sitting in the previous seat. He waved goodbye to him, leaving a faint smile before disappearing. When she came back to her senses, the girl who was thinking about her was looking at her with a smile.
