Section 257 asks

After the negotiations, according to the rules of the human world, a grand feast followed. This kind of royal banquet has always been known for its lengthy and extravagant. The wine and food came up like a flowing banquet, and singers, dancers, jugglers, dwarfs, etc. took turns to perform. In some books, this kind of feast even costs a hundred dishes. Of course, the facts are not as exaggerated as in books, but they are enough to make ordinary people stunned. So when the feast was over, it was late and the people were exhausted, so they left one after another.

Ashruphat was one of those who left earlier. He walked out of the main hall where the feast was held, and instead of taking the main road, he left along the garden path that he had once been well acquainted. After being sealed for so long, the garden should have been overgrown and unsightly, but Skadera had found a professional gardener to solve the problem, at least partially. So if you don't look at it closely, then the garden is okay.

The stars are shining tonight. Ashrufat's gaze moved away from the freshly trimmed gardening plants in the garden and stopped at the dark shadow in the middle of the road.

He had dark vision beyond mortals, so he had long recognized who the person in front of him was. It was Rhodia Ashrufat, who remembered that she was the first person at the feast to say goodbye and leave.

"Where do you want to go?" said Rhodia's voice in the distance. "I guess I want to see some of your fiancées. ”

"That's true. Ashrufat replied. He now felt more and more that something had gone beyond his expectations—and certainly beyond his control. It seems that there is a force in the dark that is driving the development and change of Yiqiē.

He didn't stop, and although Rhodia was standing in the middle of the road, he was only standing in the middle of the road, and he didn't make a gesture to stop him.

"I bet that old woman must be home today. As the two passed by, Rhodia said suddenly. "I suggest that you can bluff her. I think...... No, I'm sure it's not as rosy as you think! The old woman wasn't that kind person. ”

Ashrufat didn't stop, but Rhodia could confirm that he heard him.

The figure of Ashruphat vanished into the darkness

After a long time, another figure appeared from the garden path. The garden path is not the right path, and the other side of the path leads to the Queen's former bedchamber. That's the area that took the most damage in the previous rebellion. At that time, in order to search for the fleeing queen and drive the queen out of hiding, the rebels even burned several small houses. People who are not familiar with the layout of the palace will not take this path, and those who are familiar with it will not either, because it is meaningless. Only people like Ashrufat, who are in the mood of "nostalgia", will choose this path.

"You're finally here!" said Rhodia. It was Beleur who came out of the darkness. After seeing Rhodia's move, the reason why Beller would be here is self-explanatory.

Béral hugged the beautiful woman into his arms. "I ......" he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just hugged Rhodia with more force.

"I'm glad you made that choice......"

"I'm ...... for you Already betrayed my homeland. Beller sighed softly. Outsiders, even if it is a personal person like Robin, probably can't detect such a subtle change in Bayor, but the most difficult person in the world to deceive is himself. Especially a sane and calm person like Bayrell.

"Me too. Rhodia replied in a very soft voice. "I have also betrayed my monarch and told you all my secrets. Sue you, you won't make me regret it!"

"I won't let you regret it!" Beller said softly. Just as he wanted to say more, something soft gagged his mouth.

After a long time, the two separated.

"Next, I have to go to war. Bayrell gasped and said. "I don't know when I'll be back. During this time, all my energy must be on the battlefield, and I have no power to the outside world, so there is one thing you must help me complete. If it can be done, then when I come back, we can be together openly and happily. ”

"What if you can't?"

"Then we can't be together in the open. Beller chuckled. "When the time comes, I can only take you away and fly high, to a place where no one knows us!"

"I'm more worried about another thing, you're going to war this time...... But you must come back!" said Rhodia, gritting her teeth. "Alive, come back in its entirety!"

"I will definitely be back!" replied Bayral. "Don't worry, I'll play the role of a coward. I'm not going to take any chances, I'm not stupid enough to rush to the front line. If I'm sure we're defeated, I'll be the first to flee, faster than a rabbit......"

He wanted to do something, but Rhodia had pushed him away.

"This is the royal palace. She said. "When are you leaving?"

"If it's fast, you'll leave tomorrow, and if it's slow, you can put it off until the day after tomorrow. Bayral replied. "It depends on what our General Ashrufat arranges. ”

"No matter how he arranges it, you have a chance to put it off until the day after tomorrow, right?"

"It's a military secret!"

"What do you want me to do? This is also a military secret? Let's wait until the day after tomorrow......" Rothea said suddenly. "I thought you were an honest man. ”

"You don't know me, I'm actually only half bad, and the other half ......"

"It's even worse! Okay, this is the palace! I'll be waiting for you tomorrow in my shop." We'll have plenty of time to talk about your little secrets. ”

"I wish it wasn't just talking. Once again, Bayral grabbed the other. He now finally understood that oil cavity smoothing and oil rubbing are natural skills for every man, and it just needs a specific environment to activate this skill.

......

Eshurufat opened the door gently.

When you are outside the door, you can see the faint candlelight in the room. As he expected, Aunt Mary was alone in the living room, and to be more specific, Aunt Mary was painting alone.

As far as he knew, the aunt seemed to have taken up painting as a hobby. As the saying goes, "those who are good are not as good as those who are happy", although my aunt is not a professional painter and does not seem to have received the most rigorous training, but to be honest, her painting skills are not bad. Her paintings, if they could be painted with faces, should fetch a good price in the collector's market.

Ashrufat pushed the door in, but did not elicit a reaction from Aunt Mary. According to etiquette, as a junior, Ashrufaat should take the initiative to greet him. However, as we all know, when art creators are inspired, they do not care about the changes in the outside world, but will be angry because of the disturbance of others. So Ashrufat could only stand slightly awkwardly, waiting for Aunt Mary to take the initiative to speak.

After a few minutes, perhaps Aunt Mary had finally completed the crucial step, she finally looked up.

"Ashrufat, you're back. ”

Aunt Mary's voice seemed to be calm, but Ashrufat was a perceptive man, and he sensed something was wrong.

"What about them?"

"In the upstairs room, if I'm not mistaken, I'm supposed to be reading. Two days ago, they had bought a few inexplicable books from somewhere in the city, and were now studying them there. It's really ...... Next year will be no longer young, but she is still as innocent as a little girl. ”

"That's right, Auntie. Ashrufat walked over to Aunt Mary's easel. He glanced at the painting, where Aunt Mary was painting the hero's hair—and of course the face was still empty. "The two of them are most attentive when they read the book, and I think we can talk about something. ”

Aunt Mary looked up, and she didn't look annoyed, but on the contrary, Ashrufat sensed that she seemed to be a little ...... Sadness and despair, is it because of the painting, so that you are stuck in the sad memories of the past?

"What do you want to know?" said Aunt Mary, who was so calm that even Ashrufat thought it strange. She motioned for Ashrufat to sit down beside her.

"You should ask, what do I already know. Ashrufat replied.

"So what do you already know?"

"I've learned a lot. Ashrufat said. "Remember those days? I mean those things you said to me when my injuries were still healed and my movements were still very inconvenient. I'm now convinced that those words were stories you made up yourself, right?"

"Say so. The old woman sighed. "Your memory hasn't been restored yet?"

"It should be said that it has not fully recovered. Ashrufat replied. "The situation is the same as in the book, and the person who has lost his memory recovers his memory in two forms, one is to remember it all in a moment, and the other is to remember some fragments after a while, until finally all the fragments are coherent. I'm obviously the second type. ”

"How much...... Do you already remember some?" said Aunt Mary with a long sigh. This sigh had actually answered the most crucial question in Ashrufat's mind. For some reason, when the truth was revealed, Ashrufat felt a wave of dizziness. There is a part of his mind that asks him to take advantage of the victory and unearth all the secrets that his aunt is hiding. The other part made him stop there. What if we know the truth?

"I'm not the son of a knight from southern Ryan at all!" Ashrufat finally spoke again.

"You're quite right. Aunt Mary did not put up any resistance at all, and admitted it bluntly.

"So...... Actually, you already knew what I was carrying...... Not fake?" Ashruphat asked.

"That's right, those are real deposit slips. I went to various chambers of commerce to confirm. ”

"I want to ask, why?"
