"So, you returned the things to Karen."

Laflan raised her head and looked at Solas blankly.The latter put down the brush and paint in his hand, and waited for his answer with a casual attitude.Lovelan thought for a moment before realizing what he was referring to.

"Not yet... Even you know that Sera has stolen Karen's treasured portrait?" Lovelan said in surprise.

Solas shook his head with his usual gentle expression: "I didn't know that Sera took the portraits, but that day Karen chased her around here three times...then, those portraits should be the commander Very important stuff."

So you're here watching Sera walk around Karen three times like a monkey, and Lovelan twitches secretly.She could even imagine Solas sitting in the center of the hall and watching leisurely: "...Is that how you look at it?"

"Based on past experience." Solas raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, "I think it's better not to disturb Sera's interest."

"So you chose to offend the Commander, who is easier to bully."

Solas laughed out loud. He stretched out his hand and lovingly rubbed Lavran's cheek with his thumb: "It's wise and safe, Vhenan."

Lafran couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.She turned her head to look at the wet paint on the wall: "Temporarily finished?"

"When the experience of the trial court continues, I will continue to draw." He nodded, and then said, "Return the portrait to the commander before departure, I think he has been a little out of his mind these days."

That's probably because he was ringing Lirium, Laflan thought silently.She didn't open her mouth, and this kind of silence brought Solas a probing look, and then the man breathed a sigh of relief, as if he already knew what she was thinking.

"Go ahead, I think that will give him some comfort."

In the following days, Emily didn't have much communication with herself.This made Karen secretly relieved, and at the same time grateful for her thoughtfulness.He could feel that there was still a lot of curiosity in the way she looked at him, but she was still trying to keep a distance from him that a mage should keep from a templar.

Most of the time, Karen still stood where he should be and looked at Emily silently.And Emily was still sitting in his own corner, reading until he left after curfew.But she would say good night to herself when she left, and the first time Emmel did it he was so startled that he forgot to respond to her.But on the second and third day, the greetings came as expected, as if she didn't expect Karen to respond to her...Karen didn't reply her either.

But occasionally he would still talk to Emily, remind her to be careful of ladders, or take less books.The words she replied to herself were basically nothing new except for "thank you" and "I see". Sometimes Karen felt that he would look at Emily like this for the rest of his life.

But think about it, this life is also very good.

Until Karen finished reading that book of poems.

It was already after curfew, and Karen walked out of her apartment.He wanted to put the poetry back where it was when there was no one around, and while the Templars could borrow books from the library, Karen didn't want anyone to know that he was reading a collection of love poems, which would attract gossip.

He wanted to put the collection of poems back quietly.

However, just as he walked into the library and went under the bookshelves, a passing figure made him realize that it was impossible to put away books without anyone knowing.

He saw that person in the dark, and that person naturally saw him.Looking at the figure, it should be a woman. Karen couldn't see his face clearly, but when she realized that she froze suddenly, she took a step and covered the man's mouth.

And he was so right, Karen had just caught the scream that was about to escape in her throat.You must know that they appeared in the library without a light at this time, and their purpose was probably the same. Karen didn't want to cause trouble because of her screaming.

That person seemed to realize this too, she hummed a few times and calmed down.Karen breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hand and was about to say something when he saw the face of the person coming in the dim light.

It's Emily.

"Karen?" She lowered her voice and called out with surprise on her face. "What are you doing here?"

He should ask this sentence, what are you doing here again?You've been here all night, why did you come here after curfew?

Also, she yelled her own name.

"I..." Realizing this, Karen was a little speechless, "I'm here, um, to return the books."

Emily frowned.

Her expression made Karen a little uneasy. She didn't know why Emily looked so strange. She looked at Karen carefully for a long time, and then said inexplicably, "Say one more word."

"what?"

"What did you say you were here for?"

"I'm here...uh, I'm here...to return the books?"

"It's you!" Her eyes widened, and before Karen fully understood, Emily couldn't help raising her voice, "It's you who's been in the library all the time!"

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

After Karen subconsciously said this, he immediately felt his face become hot.

Fortunately, it's dark now, maybe she can't see her expression.But even if she comforted herself in this way, Karen still felt extremely embarrassed—oh well, since she exposed the secret she wanted to hide in such a dramatic way, then wait for her to get angry and turn around.Karen recited in his heart somewhat self-destructively.

But Emily doesn't sound like she's angry.

She certainly didn't want to call more people. The girl in the dark immediately covered her mouth after realizing that she had lost her composure, but the laughter could not stop leaking from her fingers.

"I didn't expect it to be you." She whispered with a smile, "Forgive me for drawing you so...distorted. You know, there are only so many young knights in the Circle of Law. I can draw like anyone. hurt you."

On the premise that you don't know who I am.That's why Karen felt that Emily was a very gentle girl. Even if she was facing an irrelevant Templar, she thought of avoiding hurting him with her curiosity.

Her words made Karen's tangled mood suddenly relaxed, and the young Templar couldn't help but twitched his mouth in the dark, it's so stupid, really.But even if Karen understood this, he still couldn't stop the smile on his face: "Well, I, I think your drawing is pretty good... What are you doing here again?"

"I remembered that I didn't take my notes." Emily's voice sounded very happy. Karen didn't expect her to be so happy. "Have you finished reading this collection of poems? Do you like it very much?"

No, not at all.It was only when Karen held the collection of poems in his hand that he realized that he still overestimated his literary level. What really touched him was the fact that "Amel read love poems", if she didn't seem to like it Karen would never finish reading this book patiently.

"Still...uh, it's okay." Of course he wouldn't tell the truth, so he had to force his mouth.

Emily laughed again, this time with a hint of teasing.Karen felt like his face was on fire, and he wasn't very good at bragging about it...especially to her.

But Emily didn't expose him: "Maybe next time I can recommend some novels to you."

next time.

She said that there will be another time, and the next communication.

What is a good day today?The Creator has cared for him so much.Karen only felt dizzy, and after a long silence, he realized that Emily was still waiting for his answer.The young Templar touched his neck subconsciously, unable to hide his expectation and joy any longer.

"it is good."
