A figure emerged from the darkness, both in expression and on a face, but Ashrufat recognized it as a man.

"You just live here, and I'll protect you. The man looked at Leia and said in an interested tone. His tone was not like one person talking to another, but rather a merchant discussing an expensive commodity.

The man turned away, leaving a series of smaller voices behind him.

"Well, her divination skills bring in a lot of money. ”。

"I can earn almost two gold coins a day......"

"It's the greatest kindness for us to take her in, what else can she say? The witch's children are also witches, but if they are tied up with a rope, she will not be in much danger. ”

And then there was a lot of noise, and it was chaotic. But Ashrufat could understand that it was a conflict with customers many times. Not everyone can accept a bad prophecy – especially the kind of future that can't be changed. Of course, in fact, this is also human nature.

That's right, this darkness is ...... Ashruphat suddenly thought

"That's right, master, this is her past realm. In the back of her mind, Carrie's voice rang out. "This is the world before Leia. There is only sound and darkness. Even if she is a person who is in constant contact, in her concept, there is only a vague shadow that is referred to according to her own body, and she does not know the true appearance of the other party. ”

Ashrufat continued to watch, and he saw and heard many things. Except for the old and gentle voice, all of them were hostile, wary, exploitative, and greedy towards the girl. Of course, there are a few ecstasies and rejoicing, and a small number of blessings and praises, but these few kind voices are only a flash in the pan and cannot change the situation of the girl herself.

And that old, gentle and kind voice should be Leia's grandmother.

Suddenly, Ashruphat felt a touch in his heart. The girl is uneasy because of the strength of the fate of the Dao, and feels lonely because she can clearly feel the hostility of others, and because she is lonely and longs for someone who can protect her. When the man who appeared in the midst of fate came to him......

There was a rush of insults, followed by the sound of smashing ceramics or glassware.

"Hey, are you here to listen to divination or to listen to flattery?" a male voice sounded. "If you want to come and hear something nice to your heart, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place! ”

All the while, Léa sat with her knees crossed and buried her face deep in her arms. But at this moment, she raised her head. A second ray of light appeared, and it was a clear image. Ashruphat immediately recognized that it was him.

"That's it......" In her mind, Carrie's business was soft and smooth. "Because of his special abilities, this child has long recognized your existence. After her grandmother's death, she has always regarded your existence as her psychological support. There are some incredible feelings in your eyes, but they are very natural for her. ”

"I ......," Ashrufat tried to say, but at last he didn't say anything.

"Probably because the owner is very gentle with the girls, so it's easy to get their favor. Carrie continued. "So she wants your approval anyway. The affairs of the Bin, although in your heart, have nothing to do with her. But she's afraid that you'll hate her at the same time because of it. ”

"I don't have a disgust ......"

"Anyway, that's how you're feeling right now. Because of the Hamma, you are now in great danger. Carrie elaborated in her head, her voice always the same. Although Carrie sometimes expressed feelings of anger, resentment, and fear, Ashrufat was not sure if she was deliberately disguised. "If it weren't for their stupid actions, your situation would never be so bad. And Léa knows this. ”

"How did she know about the road?" may have told her about the outcome of the war, but that doesn't mean she knew the situation behind her. Because Mimilu didn't care about these things—she just knew that the war with the Bins had been won. Maybe Ashrufat had inadvertently mentioned the matter of the Ryan people to Mimilu, but Mimilu definitely didn't know anything in particular. It's not that Mimilu has a problem with her intelligence, but because she really isn't interested in these things.

"The fact that you won the war and locked yourself in your study for two or three days speaks a lot in itself. Carrie replied. This conclusion can be reached through rigorous logical reasoning, or through instinctive intuition. You need to do something to get her back to her senses. ”

Ashrufat was silent. He knew that what Carrie said was right.

The darkness faded before my eyes, and the surrounding world returned to its normal worldly realm. He was standing in his study at the moment, holding Leia, who was still sobbing softly, in his arms.

"Don't be afraid. Ashruphat picked her up with some rough handling, lifting her feet off the ground. He greedily and vigorously sucked the girl's lips. At the time of the separation of the parties. "I don't blame you. None of this has anything to do with you. ”

"It's ......" Leia tried to confirm again, but Ashrufat didn't give her a chance to speak, he kissed her hard again, and then lowered her to the floor. His hand reached into the other party's thin clothes, vigorously but gently kneading the two hidden places.

Although Leia was surprised, she did not resist, her hands around his neck, and consciously made a cooperative posture.

"I'm back. A cold voice sounded, interrupting the room as the show was being staged. Ashrufat stood up a little embarrassed, and Leia quickly got up and tried to straighten her dress.

Standing outside the study, looking at them with a kind of indifferent gaze, it was Scarlet.

"There's nothing wrong there, and your concern that they will have civil unrest or a planned rebellion is a bit redundant. You underestimate Damon's abilities. He can do it all without me. He can be trusted. Scarlet spoke in a calm and normal tone, as if she didn't see what was happening at all, let alone be shy and uneasy. Of course, her attitude towards Leia was as hostile as ever, and her cold gaze swept over Leia's body.

"You came to a conclusion so quickly?" Ashrufat tried to hide his embarrassment. "You're familiar with him?"

"Yes, he adopted me in the past...... One of the many people. Scarlet replied. "I'm familiar with him. Although he is a knight, he is not a mechanical observant of 'justice' and 'honor'. He once said that if justice and honor only cost his men more casualties, then he would rather not have it. I'm sure he won't go back, at least not for the time being, because he simply can't stand up to you right now. ”

"Okay, I've got it. Ashrufat replied. "You can go. ”

But although Scarlet heard his words, he didn't leave.

"Master, I remind you that your bedroom is not here. This time, her voice was mixed with three points of recklessness and three points of mockery. "Everything here is yours, including me. But I still hope you will be a little more self-respecting. Scarlet continued.

Ashrufat felt embarrassed, but he didn't know what to do for a while. Fortunately, Leia solved the problem at this time, she made a gesture of farewell, left in a hurry, and passed by Scarlet's side. Without Leia, the awkward atmosphere immediately eased a lot.

Maybe it's because I think the words are in place, or maybe I don't think it's interesting to stay any longer. Scarlet finally made a simple farewell salute and disappeared from the position of the door.

Ashrufat breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his original seat.

"Master, what was the little trap you just mentioned?" Carrie brought up the whole topic again in her mind.

......

Scarlet hurried up to the small platform at the top of the castle. Standing here, she felt relieved. At this moment, her heart was mixed, and the evening breeze of spring blew through, and she felt that her mood was slowly calming down.

But she's not the only one on the platform. A familiar figure was crouching on the edge of the railing, a cat-like tail dangling and dangling. Because she heard her voice, Mimilu turned her head and looked at her curiously.

Scarlet wasn't surprised, now she already knew that the "half-beasts" were a very energetic race that only needed a limited number of hours of sleep every day. And Mimilu especially likes to stand on a high place and enjoy the scenery below.

Mimilu is actually the kind of person who has no scheming and is very easy to approach. She is hardly hostile to anyone - for a while, she hates Scarlet quite a bit, but that's mostly because Scarlet took that hostile attitude in the first place. After Scarlet changed her attitude, Mimilu quickly changed her opinion, and the two now get along well.

"What's wrong with you?" Mimilu finally couldn't contain her curiosity. She could see that Scarlet's expression was not normal. "Got a bad stomach?"

"No," Scarlet walked to the edge of the railing, grappling the railing with both hands, even making the railing of unknown metal creak slightly. "I just did another stupid thing!"

"Stupid?" Mimilu was somehow aroused by her curiosity and crawled along the railing. "What kind of stupidity?"

"Mimilu, you won't understand......" Scarlet smiled weakly. "You Semu shouldn't have that much trouble, right?"

"What's the trouble we have?" Mimilu thought about it carefully, except for the accidental invasion of the green skin, there was really no trouble, Mother Earth had always taken good care of everyone. Of course, there are occasional members like Mimilu who are full of curiosity and adventurous spirit to leave the mountains for a long trip, but this is a personal matter, and it is also a personal choice, and it is not a trouble. Even if there is trouble, it is the trouble of the elders, and it has nothing to do with ordinary members.

"What kind of women do the men of the Semu like?"

"Of course it's the strongest!" Mimilu replied proudly. "Only women who are strong enough can give birth to healthy children. Hehe, Mimilu is the best in the tribe! There are a large group of suitors!"

"Really?" Scarlet smiled, but there was something indescribable in her smile. "But that's not the case in the Anthropocene. Men like the kind of girl who is well-behaved, obedient, cute, gentle and considerate, and preferably more active. She put her hand around her shoulder, but it wasn't because of the cold.

"And I've never been that type. She said in a voice that was talking to herself.
