Chapter 52 The so-called love
"Why are you here?!"

Looking at Arthur with a look of astonishment, and Rorschach sitting on a sofa, he smiled slightly: "Why can't I be here..."

Mary, who was sitting by the side, was also a little confused, "Do you know each other?"

And Penelope, who was sitting next to Rorschach, looked at the strong Arthur curiously, with a curious light in his eyes:
"Mary, is he that Arthur?"

"Um…"

Hearing Mary's answer, Penelope couldn't help but understand.

On the other side, Arthur stared at the calm Rorschach, full of doubts and puzzles.

What the hell is this guy doing here?
The reason why Rorschach is here is of course not to pry Arthur's corner.

Even if it is, it won't bring Penelope...

Coincidentally, he has played the game, although he knows that Arthur's old lover Mary is in Valentine.

However, did not meet each other in Valentine.

And today he met Mary because of one person, that is Penelope beside him!

Penelope, the canary, has made Valentine her new home since flying out of her cage at Braithwaite Manor.

Here, there is the Downs family who treats her like a family member, and there is also a man she likes, and she has the right to move freely!

Therefore, she accepts all new things as if she was reborn.

She quickly adapted to life in the town and fell in love with the not so nice place.

She learns to ride horses, cook, feed cattle and sheep, and more, doing all the things she wasn't allowed to do before!
It is worth mentioning that she also organizes a women's reading club in Valentine from time to time to promote the power of women to women in Valentine.

Although the effect is not good.However, at least she made a lot of female friends.

It also included Mary, who was temporarily staying at Chadwick Farm.

Mary has a father who is addicted to alcohol and gambling all day long, while Penelope lives with a group of feudal lunatics under the same roof.

Two people with similar backgrounds can be said to hit it off.

The two women were chatting, and Mary naturally talked about her husband's death and why she stayed in Valentine temporarily.

Because of his only younger brother, he joined a shoe school called "Cheronia" near Valentine.

I also don't want to go home, I just stay with those shoe cultists all day long, and I don't know what to do outside.

Knowing Mary's troubles, the eldest lady, full of sense of justice, decided to help the poor widow without hesitation.

Ever since, Penelope found Rorschach and explained the situation to him, hoping that he could help Mary.

After listening to Penelope's description, Rorschach naturally knew that this Mary was Arthur's old lover Mary in the game.

He originally thought that Arthur would help Mary, and there was no need for him to get involved.

However, I really can't think of a reason for the refusal, so I can only temporarily agree to Penelope to come and meet Mary to see if I can help.

I just didn't expect Arthur to come so soon...

On the other side, from the moment Arthur walked into the living room, Mary's eyes stopped on him, and complex colors flashed in her eyes.

Obviously, she didn't expect Arthur to come so soon.

You know, she just asked Karen to help deliver the letter to Arthur yesterday!
It is conceivable how much this man cares about himself. After receiving his letter, he immediately came to see him.

Thinking of this, Mary couldn't help feeling warm, she stood up belatedly, and said somewhat cautiously:
"Arthur, sit down first, I...I'll pour you a cup of tea..."

At this time, the woman who brought Arthur in just now, who is also the owner of the house, put forward very timely:
"Mary, you sit down, I'll just go."

After pouring Arthur a cup of steaming tea, the landlady said very wittily:
"Talk slowly, I'll go out to do something..."

Seeing that the landlady took the initiative to leave, Rorschach felt someone poke her under the armpit. When she turned her head to look, she saw Penelope blinking at him.

Seeing this, Rorschach immediately understood.

"You haven't seen each other for so long, there must be a lot of things to talk about. Rorschach and I will go out to get some air first."

After leaving this sentence, before Mary could react, Penelope took Rorschach's arm, pulled him up from the sofa, and walked out of the house quickly.

In the living room, only Mary and Arthur were left looking at each other, slightly embarrassed...

. . .

After staying outside for a while, the door swung open.

Arthur and Mary came out one after the other.

Mary hesitated for a moment, then looked at Penelope and Rorschach apologetically:
"Thank you very much, Penelope, and Mr. Rorschach. Arthur has promised me to bring Jamie back. So please come here..."

"Oh, never mind, glad someone could help."

After a pause, Rorschach turned to look at Arthur beside him, and asked, "By the way, Arthur, can I go with you?"

Hearing this, Arthur frowned, "Why?"

"It's nothing, it's just that as the new mayor who is about to take office, I don't want a weird religious organization to appear near my town, disturbing the lives of local residents."

As soon as these words came out, Arthur, who wanted to refuse, took a deep look at Rorschach, then spread his hands indifferently, and said in a low voice, "Whatever you want..."

"Rorschach, be careful." Penelope said

"Don't worry, with Arthur as a tough guy, nothing will happen."

Who would dare to touch him next to the No. [-] shooter in the west? !
Seeing that Rorschach raised his eyebrows at him, Arthur just curled his lips and walked straight to his horse.

Seeing this, the corners of Luo Xia's mouth twitched, and he waved to the two ladies, and followed closely behind.

The two mounted their horses and set off towards the Carmody Valley in the Cumberland Forest...

. . .

Unsure of the exact location of the Ceronia Cult, the two slowed down their horses and began searching around when they reached the Cumberland Forest.

At this time, the two rode side by side, and Rorschach finally found the opportunity to talk:
"No offense, I want to ask you a question, why did you help her?"

Frowning, Arthur turned to look at Rorschach in surprise: "What do you mean by that?"

"I heard from Penelope that Mary's family looked down on you and was very opposed to you being with her. And she also gave in to her family's opinion and chose to abandon you and marry another man."

"So, for the sake of a woman who doesn't love you, are you willing to temporarily forget her family's bad attitude towards you, forget her past concessions, and choose to continue helping her?"

"It seems that she is really important to you..."

Arthur, who was told his mind, wanted to get angry and angrily accused Rorschach of meddling in his own business.

However, after thinking about it, what I did was precisely to verify Rorschach's statement.

Thinking of this, Arthur just laughed at himself, and responded to himself:

"Maybe, I'm just a fool who has been played around..."

"drive!"

Looking at Arthur who suddenly sped forward and galloped away, Rorschach couldn't help blinking his eyes, showing an inexplicable smile:

Perhaps, this is the so-called love...
