Violet Orchestra

Violet managed to appease Elaine, but he paid a big price - he was tossed all night, and the next day he had to get up early to take the instigator to Icethorn City.

Icethorn City is on the north side of Valley City, guarding one of the passages leading to the northern fortress. Violet visited once many years ago, but it has been so long, and the city should have changed a lot.Birkins and Petra still had to stay in Valley City to purchase necessities for the journey, so they didn't set off with them. Only Elaine carried their luggage on their backs and boarded the carriage with him to Icethorn City.

Due to the relationship between Ventus, the consul, and Angelita, the actual ruler of the valley city, there is a carriage between Icethorn City and the valley city at a fixed time every day, and you only need to pay a small fee to take the carriage between the two Travel between cities.The carriage was operated by the largest chamber of commerce in this area, and was also protected by the consul, so the robbers along the way almost never dared to attack the passengers. Taking a carriage was much safer than traveling by yourself.

"Are you okay?" He helped Violet when he got out of the car, "Do you want some water?"

The poet shook his head and motioned him to ask the city hall how to get there.Elaine went obediently. He stood there for a while, then suddenly his expression changed, he hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and coughed silently and violently.

He coughed for a while, until a few seconds before Elaine asked for directions, he put away the handkerchief, crumpled it up and stuffed it into his pocket, then turned to look at the other party pretending to be okay: "How is it?"

"It's on Central Avenue, we can find it along this road." Elaine also brought back a bottle of water, and looked at him with some doubts while answering his question, "Your complexion is so bad, you still don't feel well Why? Why don't we find a hotel to rest and go to the city hall later."

"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night." Violet looked at him with a half-smile, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in an ambiguous tone, "You are indeed mainly responsible, but not now—let's go to the city hall first , going late, maybe Ventus will stay for dinner."

Elaine was immediately distracted by Ventus' name, and frowned vigilantly.Seeing it, the poet felt that he looked like a large dog with ears pricked up vigilantly. He couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch his ears and laughed.

"What's wrong?" Elaine looked at him inexplicably.

"Nothing," Violet whispered in his ear, "I just thought you were cute just now."

As a result, the young man's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.After such a long time, he still failed to form resistance to the poet's words.

"Let's go, meet Ventus, and then we can have a stroll around the city." Violet pinched his fingers again, "I remember Icethorn City has delicious snacks, I'll buy them later Here you go."

In fact, he didn't want to see Ventus very much. On the one hand, the relationship between them was really delicate, and on the other hand, because the other party knew too many of his secrets, and he didn't want Elaine to know those secrets for the time being.But Elaine had a certain misunderstanding about his relationship with Ventus, and he didn't want the other party to continue to misunderstand, so he agreed to Elaine and brought him to Icethorn City together.

He stayed in Icethorn City for two years, a period of time, when Ventus was not the consul, and he was not the same as now.Of course he doesn't want to reminisce about the old days with Ventus, but in a sense, he does put Elaine's ideas first, which cannot be denied.

They went to the city hall to submit an application to meet - Violet left his name again, just like when writing to Angelita - sure enough, it didn't take long for Ventus' secretary to meet at the city hall. The guest room has come to invite them.

The man sitting in the office looks to be in his 30s, with the same ice-blue eyes as his aunt and platinum-blond hair that looks more inaccessible. His thin lips took away most of the intimacy.In addition, his long hair was neatly tied back, his shirt buttons were tied to the top, and there were only low-key dark lines on his black coat, as serious as a priest who was praying for the gods.

A large pile of various paperwork was neatly stacked on the table, and the table was divided equally with bottles and jars arranged in a square array, which looked as formal and rigorous as some kind of ceremony.When they knocked on the door and entered the office, the man sat straight with his back straight, like a straight and beautiful metasequoia tree. He was processing documents with his head down. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and said, "I didn't expect you to come back." , I thought you would never set foot on this land again—”

The deep and pleasant voice stopped abruptly when he saw Elaine following Violet, Ventus put down his pen, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Long time no see. If Your Excellency Angelita hadn't sent me a message, I really didn't know you had been promoted to consul." Violet nodded, closed the door, and introduced the person behind him. "Although it may be a bit sudden, this is my lover, Elaine Rosaria."

Ventus' expression smoothly changed from meticulous seriousness to indescribable subtlety.

"Lover?" he repeated in a strange tone.

"Is there a problem?" the poet asked back.

"..." Ventus raised his eyebrows slightly and denied, "No, of course there is no problem, please sit down."

He stood up from behind the large desk and made tea for the two of them himself. He paused for a moment when he handed one of the cups to Elaine, and then opened his mouth as if thinking of something: "Rorsalia... are you A noble from Rosalia?"

Elaine glanced at Violet, and after getting the affirmative look from the latter, she answered truthfully: "My father is the king of Rosalia."

"Oh, that's really rude." Not only did Ventus not express surprise at this answer, he even raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. He stood there, the sunlight from the window jumping on the platinum hair, making him It seems that there is some warmth, "It turns out to be His Royal Highness, it seems that Violet has many adventures during his travels."

His tone revealed obvious and deliberate familiarity, and Violet waved his hands with a splitting headache: "Okay, don't speak in a mother's tone, and don't bully Elaine, how can we be so close?"

Although we have known each other for a long time, Ventus doesn't talk to him most of the time, and he never talks to him in that tone. Treating Elaine like this is nothing more than wanting to bully others because of his bad personality. How could he let it go? in spite of?

Elaine looked blank, not knowing what charade they were playing, but Ventus glanced at him again, with scrutiny in his eyes, and took a long time to look away, and said to Violet: "Although this is your freedom. , but after all he looks too young, aren't you afraid that the king of Rosaria will think you're abducting the little prince?"

Violet rolled her eyes and didn't refute his statement, but Elaine felt confused and secretly unhappy, so she couldn't help but said, "I'm already an adult."

Ventus raised his eyebrows: "Being an adult doesn't mean anything, at least for us, you are still a child, and I think you should understand."

He uses the word "we" aggressively, at least to Elaine.Violet gave him a displeased look, and the latter raised the corners of his mouth in a vaguely smug manner. He didn't say anything, but changed the subject: "What are you here for? You don't really listen to An Jie. If it's Rita, come and catch up with me?"

"It's nothing, it's really just to reminisce about the old days."

Violet couldn't tell him the real intention of coming, so she went along with the flow.

He said it casually, but Ventus obviously didn't believe it: "I'm just asking, I won't drive you and His Royal Highness out, you don't have to lie."

Even so, it is impossible to say that he came here to let Elaine see how bad their relationship is... The poet pretended not to hear him, put down his teacup and stood up: "I really just came to see you. I have the opportunity to come to Icethorn City once, and I don’t know when the next time will be.”

It was just a polite greeting, but after he finished speaking, Ventus' expression froze for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he glanced at him quickly.Violet was arranging his cuffs and didn't notice, but Elaine caught his surprised and worried eyes, and secretly made a decision.

Ventus wanted to talk to Violet about something else, but the poet seemed to know what he wanted to say, and pretended not to guess anything, and didn't give him the chance.They quickly bid farewell to Ventus and left the city hall, looking for a small shop to eat the special snacks of Icethorn City that Violet said.

Although it was the poet who offered to bring Elaine here, he himself barely ate anything, only half a piece was barely fed by Elaine, and he was unwilling to eat any more after drinking half a cup of scented tea.

"I... don't feel well, just eat by yourself." Abandoning the previous excuse of "eating too much will make you fat", Violet's face was a little pale, leaning against the table and smiling, "Go to bed early at night, tomorrow We can also see the snow nearby before going back to Dale City."

"You don't look well." Elaine looked at him worriedly, "Is it really just that you haven't rested? Are there any other problems?"

It seemed to him that Violet's illness had come on suddenly and severely, not like a cold or a collapse, but more like some disease he didn't know, which quickly absorbed the poet's vitality and smile, and let him go. Getting weak and tired can be worrisome.

Moreover, he thought the poet actually knew the reason, but he just didn't want to tell him.

"If possible, I hope you can be more honest with me." Elaine thought for a long time, and finally said, "I'm just worried about you, there's no other meaning, okay?"

He didn't want Violet to think he was meddling, maybe it was just a minor illness, but he wanted the other party to know that he was worried, and he wanted the other party to be taken better care of - that's all, and Violet It has nothing to do with his past, he cares more about the poet's current physical condition and health problems.
