Chapter 100:

You are a person who can’t get free. After lying on the bed for a few days, you feel that mushrooms are about to grow on your body. Shalena has also become more and more busy. When you go out in the morning, it is usually dark and may not come back. She looks very tired and exhausted. It’s rare to squeeze out some time to come and see you. After chatting with you for a while, she fell asleep tired. In order to reduce her burden, you should not come over if she can’t come. Rest in his room for a while.
However, since the adopted daughter of the Duke’s Mansion, Bailey, came to you, she would ‘coincidentally’ with you in various ways almost every day.
For example, if you go out for a walk, water a flower, and bask in the sun, you can often happen to meet this eldest lady who seems to be doing nothing, but her face still shows the impatient and surprised "Why are you again?" .
Ah, how should I put it, her appearance makes you involuntarily think of another awkward dragon man who is quite similar to her personality. That fool seems to often show this kind of eagerness to approach, but still can’t put it down. I can only cover up my heart with an expression of boredom.
You already have a lot of experience and experience on how to shun such a proud creature.
So you naturally ignored the other's cold face and smiled and invited her to stay together.
Sure enough, Miss Bailey turned her head arrogantly, and snorted disdainfully, "Since you have pleaded with me so sincerely, then I will reluctantly accompany you."
Although he said so, the movements of his hands were not swift, and soon the servant was asked to prepare a kettle for watering the flowers.
The Duke’s Mansion has a back garden that has been in disrepair for a long time. It probably has not been taken care of for a long time. The overgrown weeds grow taller than the flowers, and the litter is piled up in a thick layer. It creaked.
In order to pass the time, you come here whenever you have time to remove weeds and leaves, trim branches and trees, but within a few days, this small abandoned garden is well organized by you.
"So we still have this kind of place in our house?" Bailey looked very surprised, her expression a little confused.
Although the Duke of Alfred was a veteran who served three emperors, he had always pursued diligence, thrift, no extravagance, extravagance, and a huge ducal mansion, plus the chefs, servants and maids in the back kitchen. At twenty, compared with the extravagant handwork of hundreds of servants in other noble residences, Duke Alfred was indeed quite clean and honest.
Because the entire Ducal Palace is really too big, if the servants had to clean it back and forth every day, it would be exhausting. In order to reduce the workload, some unused areas were directly used as grocery rooms or abandoned.
This back garden is one of the abandoned places. Although it is said to be a back garden in name, it is actually very small, not much bigger than a small vegetable garden. This is the main reason why you organize it so quickly.
"Look, Miss Bailey, this is the vegetable seed I planted a few days ago. It has sprouted a bit now, and it is estimated that it will be plucked and eaten in a while." You curled your lips and said with some joy.
Bailey followed your gaze, and the pampered young lady was stunned. "You, you actually grow vegetables in the garden?"
"What's wrong?" You looked at her with a bit of confusion, tilted your head, and said very seriously: "The vegetables grown from this kind of land are delicious. Not only can you eat fresh, but also It saves money."
Although the Duke of Alfred had strict requirements on himself, he was still willing to spend money on his daughter's food and clothing, which can be seen from the dress and jewelry worn by Bailey.
"You and Shalena, what kind of life did you have before?" Bailey asked suddenly.
Seeing that she is interested in Shalena, you are very happy to talk to Bailey about the memories of you and your sister before relying on each other for company, although occasionally you may feel a bit difficult, but as long as your sister is with you, you I don't feel tired anymore.
After listening to your words, Bailey was silent for a long time before she whispered, "I'm sorry."
You blinked suspiciously, some wondering why she suddenly apologized to you.
But in a blink of an eye, Bailey immediately changed her face and stared at you fiercely: "Don't expect me to say it a second time!"
Then she grabbed the kettle in your hand to water it.
You sighed dumbfoundingly. Although this eldest lady has a weird temper, you can feel that her nature is not bad, but she cannot accept the huge gap in her identity for a while, so every time she sees Shalena The yin and yang cynical cynicism.
At first you thought she was difficult to get along with, but now it seems that she is actually too arrogant and not good at expressing her inner emotions.
You don’t know how long you can stay with Shalena. If you can, you hope that after you leave, there will still be someone to accompany her instead of you, although Shalena usually looks carefree and doesn’t care about anything. But you know, she is actually a person who is very afraid of loneliness and loneliness. If she did not think that she was a sister and must protect her sister, she would not have become so strong.
Perhaps after hearing about your previous experience with Shalena, Bailey’s attitude has softened a lot. It’s rare to put down the eldest lady's frame and talk with you in a pleasant way.
She doesn’t seem to have much experience in socializing with her peers, and she hasn’t seen close friends with her. After all, an awkward personality like Bailey’s cold outside and hot inside is quite irritating, and not everyone has it. This patience digs into the soft heart beneath her spiteful and willful appearance.
While you and Bailey were having a good time, Shalena unexpectedly came back early.
As soon as she saw you and Bailey look like a sister who was deeply (?) and happy, her eyes widened suddenly. As soon as she walked over, she dragged you behind her without hesitation, warning Bailey aggressively. : "I can give you other things, but you don't want to hit my sister's idea!"
The same violent Bailey retorted, "Who wants you to let it go! Who do you think you are!"
"Then what are you doing near my sister?"
"I'm happy, can you control me?"
"I think you did it on purpose. Did you think I was not pleasing to the eye and couldn't beat me, so I wanted to trouble Mey!"
"Yes, I did it on purpose. If you have the ability, you can hit me!"
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more quarrelsome and fierce, they started to move. You looked at Bailey apologetically, and quickly pulled Shalena aside.
It seems that it is harder to get along with these two people than to get along.
Finally, Shalena left a harsh word and was dragged away by you.
"I'll let you go this time, I'll be very welcome next time!"
Your headache is getting worse.
When I was about to explain it to Shalena, the sudden and spreading pain in your chest made your face pale and your body trembled slightly with pain.
"May, what's the matter with you?" Shalena looked at you in panic.
You moved your lips, but there was no sound.
Because of the intense pain like chest spasm, you can't even stand up.
Finally, in the horrified eyes of Shalena, your vision went black, and you fell to the side weakly.
‘Time... is coming. ’
‘May...you are the most important sacrifice...’
‘Come on...I’ve...waited for you too long...’
Dimly, you vaguely heard a familiar gentle male voice whispering softly in your ear.
...Who is this?
"My pastor, how is my sister?"
You heard Shalena's voice.
"It's weird. She didn't have any injuries. It's probably due to indirect coma caused by fatigue or physical weakness." Another older, kind voice said slowly.
"My pastor, are you sure? My sister had suffered a serious injury before. Could it be that there was any sequelae from that time... Would you like to look at it again?"
"Hey, Miss Shalena, at my level, I really don’t see anything unusual about your sister. I suggest you take this young lady to the sacrificial temple of the Central Holy See. There is the most powerful in the world. Powerful light magicians, maybe only they can discover what is wrong with this young lady."
"I, I know...Thank you for your suggestion."
You only opened your eyes after the priest had left.
"Sister..." You called out softly.
Shalena immediately lowered her head to look at you, and asked worriedly: "May, do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
You said in a relaxed tone: "Sister, maybe it's because I forgot to eat breakfast in the morning, so I got hungry and fainted. It's really fine."
Shalena was stunned, but she didn't get fooled by you like she used to. Instead, she stared at you intently and asked, "May, did you really hide anything from me?"
Just like you know Shalena very well, she also knows you very well. She understands that you who are not good at lying will show some subtle unnatural little expressions every time you lie.
So at this moment, she stared at you with serious eyes, waiting for you to answer her question.
Your eyelashes trembled slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of your mouth, "Sister, when did I lie to you? You think too much."
Shalena watched you quietly for a while, if it wasn't for the palm of your hand that was tightly held under the blanket, perhaps she had discovered your abnormality at this moment.
"Hey, I may be too tired recently, so I always feel a little unreasonable in my heart."
Shalena sighed, then reached out and touched your head, with a smile on her face, "When I finish these few days, I will take you to the nearby church of the Holy See. It's the light master of the Holy See. To be more professional, I can rest assured if they say it's okay."
In order not to arouse Shalena's suspicion, you nodded obediently.
As if thinking of something, Shalena continued: "But I heard that there was some civil strife in the Holy See a while ago. The old Pope was assassinated by an evil pagan organization called the Black Dead. I heard that the new Pope is a second Young people in their teens."
You can't help but froze.
Because you, as a priest of the Holy See, are more familiar with the class system within the Holy See and the selection conditions for some important clergy than outsiders. Normally, those who can reach the level of archbishops are experienced and experienced forty or fifty. The old man, let alone the most rigorous and powerful pope.
The last pope was not elected pope until the age of fifty-eight, but his age is considered relatively young among all the popes.
But this new pope is actually a young man in his twenties.
Unless the new pope's identity background is so strong that it is against the sky, or there is a major change in the Holy See that you don't know about, it is absolutely impossible for such absurd things to happen.
What happened to the Holy See?
I don't know if the chief judge of the Light Wings is still well.
When you were in deep thought, a servant's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Miss Shalena, a group of very terrifying strangers with a bunch of wings behind them broke into the Ducal Palace. The guards couldn't stop them at all!"
"The Lord Duke asked me to inform you and Miss May not to come out no matter what happens."
Before Shalena could respond, there was a faint creaking sound from the closed windows and doors in the room.
‘Sirita, why are you so stupid! Can't even pry a window! ’
‘Or else you come? ’
‘No, this thing is too fragile, I’m afraid it’s broken by accident. ’
‘Then you’re so blind, the presiding judge is trying to delay the time, we have to move faster. ’
‘Yes, we have to steal Miss May out quietly before anyone else notices. ’
After a while, the window door was opened from the outside with a click.
‘Wait, I’m relatively petite, let me go in first! ’
‘Are you still petite? Look at your ball-shaped brain and full of muscles. Are you embarrassed to say this word? ’
‘Why am I not petite anymore? I've been on a diet for half a month in order to be more slender and cute! ’
‘Then who was it that secretly ate in the kitchen last night? ’
"..."
Two tall light-winged knights scrambled to squeeze in from the small window. Suddenly, they found something wrong. The two of them were paralyzed, and they looked forward in a daze. You and Shalena are watching them climbing the window.
One of them thought for a while, then spoke out tentatively.
"……good evening?"
"..."
