Roses blooming in the heart

Abelide took Elena's hand and came to the newly built palace together. It was already evening and all the lights in the palace were turned on.

The brightly lit palace has a different kind of beauty than during the day.

"Abelide, let's go in quickly!"

Elena couldn't wait any longer, so she took Abelide's hand and ran in.

Jumping around happily, like a child.

Now that Elena is a little older, she knows that she has to walk gracefully and gracefully, and she can no longer act like a little girl.

Although Abelide does not think that little girls must be elegant and gentle, and do everything slowly, it is just a shackles placed on them by tradition.

But when Elena was developing in that direction little by little, Abelide did not stop it. It was Elena's own choice, and she was not qualified to stop it.

Elena is an independent individual with her own thoughts. What's more, no matter what Elena looks like, it will be Abelide's favorite look.

"Did you enjoy your stay?"

Abelide held Elena's hand and walked slowly down the corridor of the palace. On both sides were paintings in Elena's favorite style.

Elena walked a little faster than Abelide, and there was a little distance between them.

Hearing what Abelide said, Elena turned around and said to Abelide with a smile: "Of course I like it! It's so beautiful here, as if it was built according to my like! It's even better than the palace where the princess lives in the fairy tale. pretty."

It is of course built to your liking.

Abelide thought, it seems that choosing this one among the pile of design drawings was really the right decision.

Elena only knew that this palace was built for her, but before the palace was built, she had no idea at all, and had not even seen the drawings. It was Abelide who deliberately hid it from Elena, thinking of giving it to Eileen when the time came. Na a surprise.

Now it seems that Elena likes this surprise very much.

"That's good. You should be able to live here by yourself. Just prepare to 'move' in the past few days. I think you should be able to adapt quickly."

Abelide said with a calm tone, and no emotion or anger could be heard in it, but Elena was extremely surprised by this sentence.

"What? I live by myself!"

Elena stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at Abelide in surprise. Her beautiful eyes were also wide open, showing great disbelief at what Abelide had just said.

"Wait, isn't it a bit sudden?" Elena tried to dispel Abelide's idea. She had not thought about living separately from Abelide.

"I think I need to get used to it a little bit more, so there's no need to be in such a hurry!"

But Abelide rejected her.

"No, you are already very old. Normally, when you are six or seven years old, I should have given you a palace of your own and moved out of my dormitory." Abelide said, looking at Elena who obviously wanted to refute. : "I've kept you by my side for too long. It's time for you to live alone."

"But I don't want to yet."

Elena was a little downcast, she didn't want to be separated from Abelide.

"You have to learn to grow up."

Abelide still held Elena's hand while walking in the palace, but the little girl lacked the joyful mood she had at the beginning.

Should I comfort her?

Abelide looked at the depressed Elena, thought for a while and finally picked her up and went to the rooftop. It was not open-air. There was a transparent glass dome around it, allowing Elena to watch from here. Stars can also project a starry sky to Elena when there are no stars.

Abelide carried Elena to the seat in the center of the rooftop. Instead of putting Elena on the sofa, she let Elena sit on her lap.

"Elena."

Abelide gently called Elena's name, but Elena just leaned on her chest and remained motionless, refusing to answer Abelide's question.

"Elena."

Abelide called out Elena's name again this time, and at the same time lifted a strand of Elena's hair and placed it on the tip of Elena's nose.

Elena ignored others and still shrank.

Abelide was not angry, and continued to play with Elena patiently, until Elena got a little tired and didn't want to play anymore, and reached out to snatch her hair back from Abelide's hand.

"What, are you angry?"

Abelide said with a smile.

Elena still lowered her head, but answered Abelide's question: "No, you are too naive."

The voice was low, making it clear to the listener that the owner of the voice was unhappy and did not want to communicate with others.

But Abelide would not give up just because of this. She always had infinite patience when facing Elena.

"Well, I'm too naive," Abelide put her head on Elena's head, with an unobvious smile in her voice: "But you're not mature either."

"I do not have."

Elena still lowered her head and did not react in any way to the posture in which she was now being held by Alberid.

"Then why are you ignoring me?"

Abelide continued to ask.

"I'm not ignoring you."

Elena still lowered her head.

"You are ignoring me, you are just ignoring me the way you are now," Abelide held her in her arms, patted Elena's back gently, and slowly coaxed her to tell her the truth. Na Ting said: "I don't want you to go out to live either. If possible, I would be happy to keep you by my side, but this is not allowed."

Abelide looked down at Elena, who was still motionless, and said, "You have grown up and are a big child. You have your own privacy. It is not suitable for us to continue to live together."

"I'm not a big kid, I'm still young."

Elena retorted, her voice still muffled, like a wronged kitten.

"I know, but Elena, you will eventually leave me to be independent. I can't stay with you forever."

Abelide hugged Elena and coaxed gently: "I will leave you one day, and you need to grow up."

"I don't want to grow up." Elena hugged Abelide's neck: "I just want to be a child."

Leaning on in grievance.

"Do I have to live on my own?"

"Yes."

Abelide rubbed the top of Elena's hair.

"But we still have some time between us before we separate. I'll help you with your withdrawal."

Smiling, Abelide pinched Elena's cheek, feeling soft, but her master was not happy now.

This also made Abelide a little unhappy.

She never thought that one day, she would feel sad because of herself.

She shouldn't be the reason Elena is unhappy.

This is really a novel experience.

Finally, the two sat here for a while, and Abelide went back with Elena in her arms.

The little princess who always smiled in the past rarely lost her smile, and the palace became much quieter.
