Kuka City, somewhere in a small alley to the east of the city.

It's a fairly ordinary grey brick house, but it's a bit strange that the curtains are tightly closed even during the day.

In the room, a young girl in an ordinary brown dress was sitting boredly on a chair in the room, flipping through the books in her hands.

After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a slightly thin figure walked in with a tray of food.

"Oh, Cress, I've been waiting for a long time!"

The girl said cheerfully, jumped out of her chair to take the tray, helped to place it on the table beside her, and said in a chattering voice.

"I'm sorry, Liz, I can only wronged you to eat these ordinary things."

Grace said with some embarrassment.

I saw that the food on the table was just ordinary black bread and stewed vegetable soup, and there were some traces of bacon between potatoes and carrots.

"Hey, I feel a little better breathing to be able to leave that castle."

"Thank you, Cress, I don't want to marry someone so much older than me."

Liz didn't care, hugged Chress violently, and rubbed her face against the girl's small melon seed.

"Rather than that, I might as well live with you, Krees!"

"Well, if Lizzie wishes"

Chrese muttered quietly, a slight flush on her face.

Grace is an ordinary bronze mage in Kuka City, and the inheritance she inherited from her deceased parents is enough for her to live a leisurely and uneventful life.

But this peace was broken one day, and Grace remembered it well.

It was a sunny spring day, and she was about to go out to buy food for the next few days, when a figure suddenly burst in through the door and locked it tightly with his backhand.

It was a beautiful maiden, dressed in a gorgeous warm yellow dress, but she looked at herself with a blank eye and said:

"Someone is chasing me outside, can I stay here for a while, young lady!"

Chrese didn't know why she didn't hesitate to agree to the girl's request, and all that was left in her memory was the girl's bright face and smile.

It's like casting a ray of sunshine on her cookie-cutter, boring life.

Later, Chrese learned that the girl's name was Liz, the daughter of Viscount Kuka, the lord of the land.

It was time for her to go out to play, but Liz resented that the guards were not free, and quietly shook them off.

It was also an accident to break into Kress's house, but it was just to avoid the guards who came from behind.

Liz didn't have any other ideas, just wanted to stay at ease for a while, stayed at Liz's house for a while, walked around Chryse's little house, chatted for a while, and went back honestly.

Since then, however, Liz has been touching Chryse's house from time to time to relax her nerves in the Viscount's castle.

Chrese didn't know why, and didn't refuse the eldest lady.

Slowly, it seems that there is one more person in Kreis's life, and the gray-white memory picture seems to have a little more different colors.

Until a week ago, Liz suddenly came to her and said quite lost:

"My father is going to marry me off, and I may never be able to come back again."

Chryss felt that her brain was in a mess at that time, and subconsciously said:

"That Liz you. Do you want to come to me? ”

Knowing that this is dangerous, it will anger the lord Viscount Kuka, and it may make his peaceful life go away, but all these worries are all forgotten by Kress in Liz's sweet smile.

So a few days ago, with the help of Krees, Liz quietly came here, and Kress also faked the traces of Liz's escape from Kuka City as much as possible.

Viscount Kuka was in a hurry, so when Chryse went out these days, she found that there were many guards on the street checking the passing crowd, so the two of them stayed at home honestly.

But it's not okay to stay here all the time, sooner or later Viscount Kuka will come to the door, and Chrese is ready, and when the inspection at the city gate is relaxed, she will leave with Liz.

Where to go? Is the royal capital of the city of light?

Chryse gulped down the vegetable soup, her mind constantly planning.

In the process, Grace, who has never been concerned with other things, has gradually matured.

Liz didn't think about it so much, and she felt that she was the luckiest thing to be able to escape from that oppressive home.

Carefully soak the brown bread in the vegetable soup, and a little surprise will make her happy for a long time.

As for what the future holds, Liz doesn't want to worry about it.

As long as you're with Chryse!

Dangdang!

Just as the two were quietly enjoying their meal, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Cress's body tensed up suddenly, and Liz also looked scared, but she didn't say anything, just stayed there quietly and waited for Cress's decision.

Cress gritted her teeth and whispered to Liz:

"I'll go see what's going on, and you just stay here and don't make a sound."

Liz nodded, knowing that Chress was worried.

Cress didn't let Liz hide.

If the person who came really came for Liz, there was no point in hiding.

If the target wasn't Liz, Kress wouldn't have let them into the house easily.

Standing in front of the door, Chress took a deep breath to calm herself and looked out through the small hole in the door.

Chreth breathed a sigh of relief, there were no guards, it was not the worst scenario imaginable.

Standing outside the door was a handsome young man, smiling, as if he had noticed someone looking out of the small hole.

"Who are you, what's the matter?"

Instead of opening the door, Chress asked cautiously.

"My name is Li Si, and I'm from Bright City."

"As for the purpose?"

The young man smiled and said something that nearly stopped Chress's heart.

"To help you and Miss Liz."

Chresse's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, she didn't expect Liz's name to be casually said by the young man.

The affirmative tone seemed to indicate that he knew it all.

What to do? What to do?

Do you want to run away with Liz now?

No, it's too late, I'll definitely be caught by the guards,

Just when Chreeth's mind was in turmoil, the young man's voice rang in her ears again.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you."

"Otherwise, I'll go straight to that Viscount Kuka."

Chress calmed down a little, and what the man who claimed to be Lees did have a point.

"I think it's better to let me go inside and talk, it's too eye-catching here."

"And"

A faint blue fireball suddenly appeared in the young man's hand, reflecting on his face with a bit of evil and mystery.

"I don't think this door is going to stop me."

Syllable!

The pale Chreth did not hesitate and slammed open the door.
