Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 108 An Unquiet Night
In the middle of March, it was getting darker and later, and it was only after five o'clock that Halma began to see the appearance of night.
After a day of volunteer work, Andu, walking on the street, a rare day of rest, he had no idea of hurrying.
Just walked around all the way, and by the time he got home, it was nearly seven o'clock.
Elizabeth returned to her room after her dinner had been finished early, and Andu had to tell Lady Elsa to cook something to eat and solve her own dinner problem.
"Did Robert wake up today?"
While nibbling on bread and drinking borscht, he turned his gaze to Pete to the side.
"No, his injuries are so bad, he has already called a doctor to change the bandages in the morning, and the doctor said that he will wake up almost tomorrow. ”
Pete lowered his head, hesitated for two seconds and continued,
"The dorm will be finished this weekend, and I'm going to ...... Leave Halma on Sunday. ”
Andu glanced at his butler and took a sip of soup.
"No problem, just leave on Sunday. ”
Pi nodded and looked at Andu, who got up, and habitually cleaned up the table.
"The outside world is dangerous, and I hope you can survive until the day you meet outside. ”
Andu walked up the stairs, and the sound reached the living room far away, and Pete's hands trembled slightly for a second, and then quickly returned to normal.
"If you don't wake up tomorrow, you're going to have to make up for him with a holy light technique......" Andu pondered.
Daily reading, writing itineraries, reflection, meditation, time passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already eleven o'clock, and he laughed out loud with satisfaction after carefully feeling the increasing spirituality.
The fatigue of his body was intertwined with this faint excitement, and it didn't take long for his brain to take over.
"It's time to sleep. Andu yawned, his mouth opened fiercely, a little sleepy wetness flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
......
Miranda walked through the dark streets, feeling inexplicably angry.
"Damn, why are you asleep!?"
A touch of crimson appeared on the girl's face, and when she remembered that when she had just woken up, Justin was looking at her with a demented face, and her heart felt strange for a while.
"It's too much, to watch a girl sleep like this!"
With a hint of annoyance and shyness, Miranda's steps became more and more cheerful, and the speed of walking was unconsciously a little faster.
Miranda, who was accustomed to following the alleyway and planning to get closer, saw a dark shadow appear on the corner of the street, and it should have been a figure from a distance.
"How can there be anyone at such a late hour?"
A trace of fear and panic suddenly appeared in Miranda's heart, and the already slow pace gradually evolved into a trot.
In the middle of the night, it is not a joy to meet a stranger in such a place!
Before the panic in her heart dissipated, Miranda saw out of the corner of her eye that the figure was moving!
The crisp footsteps of "Da Da" became more frequent as her speed increased, and Miranda's fear of the unknown made her almost scream!
"What the hell does he want to do??"
Miranda suddenly thought of the news of the missing girl she had seen in the newspaper in the past, and her heart was beating wildly, and she could even hear her own heartbeat clearly.
Just as she was about to collapse, the footsteps behind her became quieter and quieter, gradually disappearing into the dark night.
"Didn't you chase after you?" the girl thought nervously.
After trotting to the corner and turning left, Miranda finally mustered up the courage to sneak a glance back.
"Whew, I'm glad I didn't come along, it's scary......"
Seeing that there was no figure behind her, she patted her chest and muttered softly, turning around and preparing to leave this seeping alleyway quickly.
The girl who had just turned around was about to take a step, but a person silently walked out of the corner in front of her.
"You, you ......"
Miranda's eyes widened, her white pleated body trembling slightly, her lips trembling back and forth, but she kept repeating the title.
By the moonlight, he could clearly see the man's appearance, a picture that had never appeared in his memory, and a trace of horror suddenly rose in her heart.
The man in the dark night, with the smell of alcohol all over, his cloudy eyes with ruffianism, and his fat belly protruding from the belly of his jacket.
Miranda subconsciously retreated, but before she took two steps, an unshakable force came from behind her, as if she had hit a wall.
"But behind me, there is no wall......"
Miranda's frightened heart was about to jump out, but in the next second, a rough palm grabbed her arm!
She tried to scream, but her mouth and nose were held down by a large hand from behind, and all her screams were choked in her throat, and all she could say was a "uh-ahhh
"Who's going to save me!"
"Father...... Roy Sacrifice ...... Andu......"
"Justin ......"
Tears kept falling, but the man behind her was like an inextricable iron pincer, firmly controlling her, and there was no possibility of escape.
The drunken man who appeared around the corner in the distance walked over with a wine burp.
In her desperate gaze, the disgusting and ugly-looking man pulled out a handkerchief-like object and pressed it hard against her mouth and nose.
As her consciousness faded away, her body gradually lost its struggle......
......
Justin lay on the bed, thinking about the girl who had just left, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"When she sleeps, it's so quiet......"
He looked at the night outside the window, and suddenly felt a little flustered, it was so late, she wouldn't encounter any danger when she went back alone, right?
I should have left her here for the night...... Does he think I'm a pervert?
Justin, who was not at ease, thought about it and put on a coat for himself.
The wound had not healed yet, and he didn't hold back as soon as he got out of bed.
"Shhh
Justin's face turned pale, and the wound that had just healed showed signs of imminent collapse as he moved.
"Slow down, slow down and it should be fine......"
Thinking so, he took a cane from the side of the bed, and although he hadn't used it before, there was no other way to do it now.
"Why are you going?"
Barney, the "big mouth" who got up to walk in the water, looked at the wounded Justin who was struggling to walk out, and rushed forward with an arrow step.
"You don't want to die, go back!"
Justin was sweating profusely, and the short distance of a few dozen meters was the most difficult part of his life.
"I, I have something to do, I need to go out......"
"Stop talking nonsense, go back to me quickly, if your wound is cracking, your life will be over!"
Barney had heard of the disease, and though he hadn't seen it much, he knew exactly what he was hurting.
At this time, it is normal to let him go out and not come back, how can he watch Justin go out and die?
What's more, he didn't think Justin could do anything, it had been a week, and no one had come to see him......
Justin, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, had to give up the idea of going out, and with only one arm, he was supported by Barney and limped back to his room.
"Probably nothing, today is just an exception...... She usually goes back early. ”
Justin comforted himself.
The moonlight outside the window was clear and clear, and there was no dark cloud in the sky, so he just lay on the bed, looking at the full moon in the sky, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he smirked from time to time.
......
"Whoa!"
Drops of water slid down his cheeks, and Peder's eyes were slightly red as he looked at the basin, feeling irritated.
"Damn, these bastards, they've all talked about it!"
He slammed his fist on the table, shaking the entire wooden table.
On the back of the worn skin, a little red oozed out, and a small black dot silently appeared next to the wound.
Peder didn't notice this, he frowned, only to feel the fire in his heart grow stronger.
"Do you want to go to Pashacha?"
As Halma's most famous red-light district, he had heard about it for a long time, but as a virgin, he had never been there.
Although he had always been clean and scoffed at going to the red light district, he didn't know what was going on tonight.
There seemed to be countless thoughts in his heart hinting at him, telling him not to be depressed and to be himself.
And he really wants to vent.
It's all those damned merchants, damned profiteers!!
Peder, who couldn't find the reason, subconsciously turned all the problems to the boss who failed today's cooperation.
The fire in his heart burned his reason, and he gasped and snorted heavily, and put on his coat.
"Where did Samuan and Quitch go?"
When passing by the next door, Peder keenly noticed that the two guys who usually like to snore are unusually quiet today.
"Knock knock!!"
After a knock on the door, he silently withdrew his hand, and it seemed that the two guys had really run out.
"Forget it...... I just came back from outside the city, so I'll let you go this time. ”
Pedder took a deep breath and looked fiery in the direction of his heart.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway, and it lasted for a long time.
......
When he woke up, Andu felt that his whole person was full of vitality.
"It seems that as my spirit grows, my spirit is getting better and better?"
A smile appeared on his lips, and Andu put on his clothes and pushed the door open.
In the dining room on the first floor, Elizabeth was holding a magazine and reading it.
"In the morning Tonali sent for you, and said you would come to the banquet he was presiding. ”
Andu stopped when he was about to take a step and looked over in surprise.
"Are you sure?"
Elizabeth pursed her lips and said displeasedly, "I don't know, it's the servants of his house anyway." ”
Nodding thoughtfully, he turned to the bathroom.
It seems that he and his father have been reconciled...... Well, my experience during this period of time should have made him and the Viscount come to a consensus...... Andu thought silently with his head down.
Ten minutes later, he quickly solved the washing problem and returned to the table again.
"How did you arrange it today?"
He thought for a moment and spoke, but did not mention the question of whether he wanted to go to the banquet together.
The scene of the old viscount turning his face with the two of them that day was still vivid, and he didn't think it was necessary to let his sister go to such a banquet.
The two were brothers, so naturally it was impossible not to get along with each other forever, but for the girl, Viscount Ulysses's words were too ugly.
Unless one day, he personally came to apologize to Elizabeth...... It has to be sincere!
