"Ugh."

Feng Ao, who was lying on the bed, made a small sound, his eyelids began to slowly open, his body squirmed slightly until he fully opened his emerald green eyes, his weak body propped up his upper body unsteadily, and removed the quilt covering his body , Slightly dizzy, Feng Ao frowned uncomfortably.

"Miss, you still need to rest more."

Seeing Feng Ao woke up, Tao Zi jumped to the bedside to remind him nervously, and at the same time put his hand tightly on Feng Ao's forehead, touched every part of his body, and carefully checked Feng Ao's condition.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"It will take about half a day, please wait a moment, I will go get you fruit and dinner right away."

"No, help me to the studio, I want to work."

"But……"

"I want to work."

Cold and calm, he once again emphasized what he wanted to do. This attitude once again made Tao Zi feel the pressure.

Those who are familiar with Feng Ao know very well that if you say this sentence more than twice, it will be useless to persuade your closest relatives.

If Feng Ao continued to concentrate on his work like this, his physical condition would definitely not be just lying on the hospital bed.

"……no."

After a moment of silence, Taozi clenched her fists and murmured.

"what?"

Hearing the words that were almost impossible to appear, Feng Ao asked again uncertainly, his wrinkled eyes looked at Tao Zi, exuding undisguised questioning and displeasure.

"Miss, I hope you can rest."

"I want to work."

"Your body is overwhelmed and needs a good rest, even if it's only for a few hours. If you want to eat any kind of fruit, if you want to eat any kind of food, peaches can definitely handle it for you."

"I want to work."

"But your body can no longer..."

"I am going to work."

"I reject!"

"..."

It wasn't until the words spread in the room that Taozi realized that she was responding with a roar.

"This, I, yes, I'm sorry Missy!"

It wasn't until the sound completely dissipated in the room that Taozi recovered and covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened in astonishment, then she bent her upper body and bowed standardly to apologize to her eldest lady.

In the dead silence where neither of them spoke, Taozi could only maintain a bowing posture, only the sound of each other's thin breathing flowed in this room dedicated to the eldest lady.

Those emerald green eyes stared at Tao Zi who had been by her side since she was a child, and finally said with a quiet sigh.

"Taozi, I hope you can understand that I am doing this for the sake of the family. I have an agreement with the leader, and it is also for the sake of the dead Lord Lan Wei. The Empiri family can only assist this road with all their strength. In this case, I cannot relax. Because this affects the residents of the Kingdom of Swords and all of you.”

"I know, miss, but I don't want you to be so tired, and rest is definitely an indispensable part of your itinerary! Please, miss!"

Obviously in a posture of bowing after making a mistake, Tao Zi still insists on hoping that Feng Ao will rest. This behavior is obviously different from the past... She must not have resisted and persisted like this before.

Tao Zi, I'm afraid she was indoctrinated into something?Or have you finally lost the patience to say what you have been afraid to say?

But it's an unnecessary thought anyway.

While associating various possibilities but eliminating them, Feng Ao quietly shook his head.

"No, for the prosperity of the Kingdom of Swords, for the defeat of the Magic Kingdom, for the defeat of all evil enemies... This is for everyone, and also, to kill the murderer for my sister."

The obviously depressed and dull words made Taozi feel the chills that made her body tremble even if she didn't raise her head.

It was pure and sharp, the true anger hidden in the depths of Fengao.

This is a change that has occurred since the second lady passed away unfortunately, and this change has not disappeared with the passing of days, but has gradually fueled the glamorous flame in Feng Ao's heart.

Although no changes can be seen on the outside, after a few days, Taozi can still detect the dangerous aura even if she closes her eyes.

If you continue to let the eldest lady go on, this is the maid's dereliction of duty, not only to serve, but also to let the masters go on the right path, this is the maid's duty!

Different thoughts from the past came to mind, Tao Zi kept bowing and said softly.

"Please forgive Taozi for speaking bluntly, you didn't do this for Second Miss, Second Miss will not be happy."

"You, what are you talking about?"

Taozi, who was in a bowing posture, couldn't see the changes in Feng Ao's expression and emotional details, but just such a quick response made Taozi feel a chill running through her body.

But this time must not back down.

"Even if I offend Missy, I will be punished, and I will say the same thing. It is wrong for you to work with revenge as the motivation!"

"You, look at the sword stand next to my dressing table."

Instead of using the usual intimate address like "Taozi", he used the tone of "you", which is equivalent to a command, and asked Taozi to move his eyes to the designated direction.

There is a sturdy wooden shelf next to the dressing table, which is specially used to place weapons. Usually, Taozi will clean it when cleaning, so he is very familiar with this shelf.

At this moment, the shelf does not have different weapons like ordinary swordsmen, but only a weapon that "barely" counts as a long sword.

There is neither a hilt to protect the skin of the palm of the hand, nor does it have the dazzling silver light like ordinary long swords. From the blade to the hilt, it is all made of the same metal. If you insist, it can almost be regarded as a shape. Metal resembling a longsword.

"This sword is from Kano, the long sword taken from my sister's tombstone."

"Yes."

Tao Zi nodded softly, knowing this matter very well, because this wooden frame was specially made and transported to this room on that day.

"It means, you, don't you understand?"

The sound of Feng'ao lowering the volume of the middle and high pitch exudes an irresistible cold, as if the surrounding air is almost frozen.

call.

Tao Zi took a deep breath and raised her head in defiance of her master.

"Miss is the one. As an intelligence expert, you already know where this sword came from, right?"

tread.

Feng Ao felt drowsy from jumping directly from the bed and helped his forehead with his hand, but even so he didn't stop moving to the wooden frame, stretched out his right hand to grab the long sword and swung it towards Taozi's throat.

"You, are you too tired and need to rest? Or do you want to be punished by me?"

The sword tip emitting a cold light was only a few centimeters away from the skin, and the dull light seemed to have real power, making Taozi feel the tingling through the skin.

will i die?

Thinking of the situation where Feng Ao's emotions were soaring at this moment, but the dark sword peak was flashing with sharp stings, Tao Zi couldn't help but trembled with this thought.

However, you cannot back down.

For the sake of the eldest lady, for the sake of allowing the eldest lady to continue to move forward, for the sake of my friends, I must never back down.

Clenching his fists with trembling hands, he continued in a frozen posture.

"This sword appeared just before the funeral of the former leader, and the whereabouts of Sittenuo Jieshi was unknown during that time, and Sittenuo Jieshi had entered the second lady's studio. , Miss actually knows better than anyone else, who made this sword! What kind of meaning does it contain!"

hiss.

Feng Ao pierced Taozi's neck with the tip of the long sword in his hand, and tiny bloodshots slid out from the white neck.

The pain and the chill brought by Feng Ao made Taozi unable to face it calmly. Even the calmness she had cultivated for a long time was easily shattered, and she became a girl eroded by fear.

However, Taozi's eyes were obviously full of timidity, but her body still did not take half a step back.

"This sword is the only thing left by my sister. It is something left by her regret. Jieshi failed to keep the promise. This is the long sword that my sister made for my revenge!"

"That's not the case, miss, don't lie to yourself! Promise, promise, even if it is a promise, that person is not your good partner in the hostage team for a year! Could it be that the time we spent together was fake! Everyone has discovered that, The captain of the hostage team has deeply influenced you, Miss! He is the one who makes you laugh more!"

call out.

He didn't intend to waste his words, and deliberately pulled the long sword away in order to give a fatal blow. Those green eyes were completely eroded by nothingness from the inside to the outside——like a real demon, mercilessly preparing to attack. Kill the person in front of you.

"Woo."

As a result, his body couldn't support the long sword that was halfway swung, and he knelt down on the ground weakly.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Taozi was so frightened that she quickly picked up Feng Ao, and carefully carried her back to the bed.

Feng Ao grasped the long sword so desperately that Taozi couldn't take the hilt, but the difference from before was that those eyes lacked the fear of that moment.

"peach……"

"Yes."

Listening to this familiar and gentle word again, warm liquid floated out of the corners of Taozi's eyes.

"You spent more time with Kano than I did."

"yes?"

"You should have been hurt more than me, more painful, and you should hate that person more. Why... Taozi."

"Yes."

Looking at Tao Zi beside her, her eyelids trembled violently, as if everything she believed in had collapsed.

"Why are you so strong?"

"Because... I firmly believe that you and the deceased second lady will guide all of us with a smile. When you came back from your Magic Kingdom and talked to me with the second lady, I was deeply convinced of this."

On the cheeks overflowing with tears, with a thin smile,

"It is because of the eldest lady that I can be so strong."

Listening quietly to these words, Feng Ao finally let go of the fingertips he was holding desperately.

"Ah, you who used to be clumsy and timid have become powerful, I—"

As if overwhelmed by the exhaustion in his body, Fengao quietly closed his eyelids.

"Even my body won't allow me to go on like this... so I should follow you, right?"

"Miss? Miss!"

The way Fengao closed his eyes made Taozi widen his eyes in disbelief, and the horror and fear pierced through the brain and entered the heart.

"You idiot, it's very noisy to the patient."

The female doctor suddenly appeared at the gate, crossed her hands on her chest and opened her mouth to reprimand Tao Zi.

"what?"

"Calm down and think about it, right? Missy just falls asleep because she's relaxing, which means that it's your responsibility to take care of Missy. Another reminder is that for tomorrow's meeting, sleep for at least six hours. Please ask the young lady to write a letter to inform the monarchs and leaders of the necessary information. As for the future, there is no need to explain it? Just let the young lady continue to rest properly."

Obviously, it is a standard order as a doctor, and as a maid, she has absolutely no right to refuse, but what makes Taozi disgusted and complained is...

"Shouldn't you be waiting in your room?"

"Hmm... I just had a premonition that something was going to happen here, so I called it over to have a look, and unexpectedly, I really predicted it."

"you!"

This kind of relaxed tone full of mischievous nature quickly brought back memories of being raped in the past in Taozi's mind.

"Shh, it's not good to disturb the eldest lady."

"Woo!"

Almost subconsciously, he covered his mouth with his hand, looked at Feng Ao behind him, who was breathing peacefully and sleeping soundly, and then turned his head to stare at the doctor.

To avoid disturbing Feng Ao, he moved softly outside the door, and stared straight at the doctor with displeased and embarrassing red eyes.

Compared with Taozi's shy and nervous face, the doctor smiled cheerfully and lightly stroked Taozi's hair with the advantage of being ten centimeters taller than Taozi.

The eyes that were completely different from the previous second, the original playfulness disappeared, replaced by a gentle expression full of relief.

"You did a good job, little one, you really did a good job."

The unexpected compliment made Tao Zi not know how to respond for a while.

"..."

"You are indeed one of the representatives of our subordinates, and thank you for your hard work."

Like a gentle and mature sister, coupled with the pain of being confronted by the long sword a few seconds ago, Tao Zi couldn't help but ignite the urge to cry again.

"I'm really impressed, let me see your cute appearance that I can't see at ordinary times, especially the scared and crying appearance, it's really worth it."

"what?"

"If possible, I would have hired an artist to capture that moment if I knew it earlier, and then sold it on a large scale."

boom!

"Whoa! This, this blow, you are serious, aren't you?"

"Please don't make too much noise in the hallway."

Step, step.

"Please return to your room and get ready for the doctor, and then please let me, as a maid, do my duty."

After saying these words, Tao Zi quickly disappeared into the corridor.

Looking at the brisk way of moving, the doctor couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"Second Miss, have you seen it...Your will and thought are indeed firmly caught by someone."
