Andu looked at the figure and froze in place.

"Something on my face?" Tonali touched his face strangely...... It's not any different.

Andu came back to his senses and said in surprise, "When did you come back?"

"Today. Tonali complained, "I've been waiting for you all day!"

While speaking, Elizabeth in the room also came out and said indignantly: "I've been annoyed by him for a day, why did you come back!"

Andu???

Andu took a deep breath and said with a calm smile: "Let's go, you just came back, let's go out to eat something good." ”

"Spending money again!" said Elizabeth, displeased.

"It's okay, Andu has a treat, I'll pay!" Tonali laughed and put his arm around Andu's shoulder.

North District, Champs-Élysées Boulevard.

Known as Halma's most exclusive restaurant, Gvorster Western Restaurant, in a private room, the three of them talked and laughed casually.

"Why did you go so long this time?" Andu casually flipped through the menu and asked casually.

"It's not my family's one, I have to recognize my face. Tonali pursed his lips, flicking a clear goblet in his hand.

"Hey, I'm just going out to fool around!" Elizabeth refused to let go of Tonali, and snatched the goblet from her hand, and said disdainfully, "Can you have some image?"

"Anyway, there are no outsiders. Tonali laughed, not minding the girl's actions in the slightest.

Andu looked at this friend who he had met for the first time in the actual sense, and his heart was warm.

Tonali, apart from Elizabeth, used to be the one who cared most about Andu.

Tonali didn't notice Andu's strange appearance, and got into a conversation with Elizabeth without any sense of disobedience.

"I said you're not too young, do you have a crush?" Tonali joked, still holding back the girl's attack in his hands.

"What do you say!" Elizabeth blushed, picked up the cloth on the table and threw it at Tonali.

"I'm telling you, I'm in a hurry to wait for you to get married. Tonali skillfully took the napple that flew towards him, and kept saying, "Look at my Elizabeth, how capable!"

Andu looked at the bickering of the two, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

A series of rare dishes were placed on the table in the professional actions of the waiter, during which the bickering between the two did not affect the waiter's work in the slightest.

"Alright, the dish is almost over, let's eat. Tonali stopped the maiden from preparing to move the utensils, and instructed the waiter to open a bottle of the expensive red wine of the Valde estate.

The bright red wine crossed a graceful arc and flowed precisely into the goblet of red wine that had just been almost used as a weapon.

Although Elizabeth didn't understand very well, she could still guess the value of this bottle of red wine, and said, "You are really as extravagant as before." ”

"It's ok. Tonali didn't deny it, and smiled and handed the goblet containing one-third of the red wine to his nose and sniffed the wine.

"Does it smell so good!?" said Elizabeth, pretending to smell Tonali's movements.

As a result, she choked.

"Ahem!!!, how can you stand it like this?" said Elizabeth, looking at Tonali in disbelief.

"You don't understand, you're still young. Tonali smiled, and after saying that, he turned his head to look at Andu and said, "Aren't you going to tell me about what happened during this time?"

"Elizabeth should have told you all about it. Andu tasted the wine and frowned: "This wine is not as good as champagne." ”

"You like to drink that sweet wine, and it doesn't make it to the table. Tonali shook his head.

"I don't need to be on the big stage. Andu laughed.

"I heard that you were attacked?" said Tonali after a moment of silence.

Andu glanced at Elizabeth, and the girl immediately lowered her head, pretending that she didn't know anything.

"You know, Pollitt has always looked at me unpleasantly. After Andu finished speaking, he took a sip of red wine and beckoned Elizabeth and said, "Eat, you don't usually have a chance to eat here." ”

Elizabeth nodded, called the waiter standing on the side, and sliced the deep-sea sashimi bluefin on the table, which was more than a meter long.

Pieces of sashimi with a pale blue halo fell into the white porcelain dish with the waiter's skillful swing of the knife.

After a while, the three of them were placed in front of them, neatly cut sashimi.

Elizabeth picked up a slice with chopsticks that she was not familiar with and dipped it in the dark brown dipping sauce in the spice plate.

"Well, it tastes so good!!" Elizabeth's eyes lit up, and the movements of her hands increased rapidly, and Andu couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the girl's eating.

Tonali was not at all interested in the food on the table, so he ate casually and put down the cutlery in his hand.

Taking a clean towel from the dining room and wiping the grease from the corners of his mouth, Tonali looked at Andu again.

"Pollitt's own hand?"

Andu watched Tonali's casual movements, his expression gradually becoming serious, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.

Looking at the faint seriousness and anger in his friend's eyes, Andu sighed: "It's not his hand, it's Daisy." ”

"The little one who is more than six meters old?" Tonali still had the same nonchalant attitude, leaning back in his chair, his hands clasped on his thighs, and his two thumbs going back and forth in circles.

"Well, I also saw Pollitt's henchman Simon that day. Andu recalled the picture in his memory and thought for a while: "Since Simon is also present, the matter is inseparable from Pollitt. ”

"I can understand that Pollitt guy, that Simon and Daisy, what a long skill. Tonali's face, which had been smiling, gradually revealed a cold chill.

Andu looked at Tonali's expression and thought: "Simon's father is Lord Lawrence, and he has been following Pollit for some years, Daisy only leaned towards Pollit last year, but his father is a wealthy businessman, and Pollit also attaches great importance to him. ”

"A jackal, a fat pig, Pollitt really takes anyone. Tonali thought back to the two of them, disdainfully.

Andu looked at Tonali helplessly, and reminded: "Your father is a mayoral candidate, and you are destined to inherit his title in the future, so you must give others a little room to struggle, right?"

Tonali looked at Andu with a strange expression, puzzled, "Why are you still explaining for them?"

"It's not an explanation, it's just that you've been befriending those nobles all these years, ignoring the actual situation of most middle and lower class people. Andu sighed.

Tonali listened to Andu's words and smiled strangely, "Then you are planning to let them go?"

Andu pondered for a moment and then spoke, "I have joined the church. ”

"But they're going to let you go?" Tonali asked, his face even more sarcastic, "they're just a bunch of uncooked maggots, and the reason why they trouble you all day long is because you're a bully." ”

The more Tonali spoke, the more angry he became, he dismissed the waiter beside him, and said to Andu with a serious face: "If it weren't for the fact that you saved me that year, if it weren't for the fact that we were close, if it weren't for the fact that you were the one with the least background around me, why would they keep choosing you?"

Andu looked at Tonali, who was a little emotional, silently raised his wine glass, and saluted him sitting opposite.

Tonali looked at Andu, calmed down, and raised his glass to Andu.

Elizabeth watched the conversation between the two, and the mood for eating was not as heavy as at the beginning.

After a while, Tonali spoke, "Although you haven't been able to draw cards or wear a card ring, your expertise is the best in the academy. ”

"They have always looked at you unpleasantly, in fact, it is also because of me, you have never said it for so many years, but I know, you know it very well in your heart. ”

"They all think that you are trying to cling to me, and with our relationship, you will definitely be my greatest help in the future, even if you can't graduate from the academy normally. ”

"All these years, it's all because of my ......," Tonali said, and then stopped, and the scene fell silent again.

Andu looked at Tonali, who had fallen silent, and suddenly laughed.

"Nothing has ever happened because of you, and if it weren't for the help you've pretended not to care about all these years, Elizabeth and I would have starved to death on the streets. ”

Andu took a sip of red wine and continued: "Do you think I really don't know, MacDonald's apartment was bought by you? How could my deceased father leave an apartment for us? If he had, he would have squandered it a long time ago!"

Tonali looked up at Andu, the surprise in his eyes fleeting.

Elizabeth on the side was still full of heaviness, but then she suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "It turned out that it wasn't left to us by our father?"

Andu smiled and said, "Father can sell it, only the two of us are left." ”

Elizabeth looked at Tonali as she listened, her pride was no longer visible, and she said sincerely, "Thank you!"

"Don't be so polite. Tonali waved his hand, looked into Andu's eyes and asked, "When did you know that?"

Andu thought about the things in his memories and said with a smile: "I knew it the first time you said it. ”

Tonali slapped his thigh and smiled again.

"I'm still not good at deceiving people. ”

"That's enough, the devil doesn't believe you when you say that. Andu said sarcastically.

"Yes, yes!!" Elizabeth chimed in.

Tonali took an embarrassed sip of red wine before saying, "Then what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Andu said lightly: "I'm not the same person I used to be, now that I've joined the church, if they want to do it, they have to think about how to bear the consequences." ”

"By the way, how did you join the church?" Tonali wondered, pointing at Elizabeth as he spoke, "I asked, and she didn't know anything, so she said you recognized a priest as a teacher?"

"Forehead......" Andu looked at Elizabeth, sorted out his thoughts, and began to talk nonsense...... No, it's misleading with good intentions.

After the three of them got through the middle low, they were full of laughter and laughter in Andu's narration again.

......

In the suburbs, a low room.

In the dark, Robert stared nervously at the wooden door in the distance, and the ropes in his hands were finally overwhelmed after a day and a night of friction.

"Smack..."

A slight cracking sound sounded in the dark room, and Robert moved his stiff hands, took out a short dagger from the hiding place at his waist, and quickly cut the other ropes that bound his body.

The thief, who had been completely liberated, cautiously walked to the wooden door, carefully observed the door through the large number of gaps caused by the old age, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no danger outside, he slowly pushed it open.

Outside the door, there was endless darkness.
