Queen Lulia led Gray to the depths of the palace. It was not a long way, but Gray was somewhat surprised to find that this woman was almost completely free in the palace, and she had almost no scruples. Do it according to your own ideas.

She doesn't seem to be a talkative person, and smiling seems to take over most of her speech.Gray had heard some introductions about this queen, and her background was not noble enough to qualify for this position.However, His Majesty the Emperor is quite obsessed with her, and his will made up for her lack of status.

Gray kept half a step behind and followed her cautiously.He has already been familiar with the map that Moya gave him before, so even after traveling between large and small palaces and gardens for so long, he can still roughly determine where he is, so as not to lose his way.

Lulia stopped in front of a palace, turned her head and smiled slightly at Gray.

"We have arrived."

It was an independent building, standing gracefully on the lawn in full bloom with vinegar sorrel.With red walls and a white roof, there is a clear green lake on the lawn in front of the door. White swans are in groups of three or four, combing their feathers against the lake.

There were guards in front of the palace, Lulia just nodded at them, and walked in smoothly with Gray.Going around the corridors and small gardens, Gray noticed that the interior space of this palace was deliberately decorated to be very empty, and the space was also fragmented by numerous corridors and paths, like children's graffiti , out of order.

Although the architecture and decoration of this palace are exquisite, Gray still finds it incomprehensible that such a completely unreasonable building suddenly appeared in the palace.

"This is my son's design." Queen Lulia explained with a smile: "The child seems to like this aspect of things very much, so I handed over the design of this place to him. Anyway, this place is too old Off."

Gray only felt that the three big characters of "Rich Man" shining with golden light appeared on the top of Queen Lulia's head instantly, and he decided not to think about it any more.

The thinking of a nine-year-old child is probably completely illogical.After turning around a huge flower stand, a large empty lawn suddenly appeared in front of him, and in the center of the lawn, a two-story wooden house appeared there alone.The wooden house is not too small, and the whole body is painted white, which looks like it only exists in fairy tales.

The person Gray was going to meet was lying on a recliner on the lawn, taking a nap with his eyes closed.The temperature is not too cold now, but that person is wrapped in a thick white blanket, as if in winter.However, her delicate white feet were exposed, stepping directly on the grass.

Gray didn't see her face, but her long fiery red hair exposed outside gave him a vague premonition in his heart.

Queen Lulia left Grey, walked up to her, and gave her a slight push.Gray held his breath until the man slowly turned around and looked over.

Beth.

Lord of Deimos City, Beth.

Her appearance had changed a lot, and in addition to her obvious emaciation, a long gash covered her face.After the separation of Santalua City, Gray has been thinking about her, but he never thought that Beth would become like this when they met again.

Gray bit his lower lip hard to stop himself from making any sound.Queen Lulia looked down at Beth and helped her smooth her hair.Beth looked at Gray in confusion as if she hadn't noticed it at all.After a while, as if he had just woken up, he nodded slightly to Gray.

"She can't speak yet." Queen Lulia said in a low voice, still stroking Beth's hair with her fingers, "The wound has not healed, and it will easily be torn again."

The long scar on Beth's face looked shocking, spreading from the left cheek to the throat.Gray couldn't see the depth of the wound, but judging from the width, it was obvious that the knife had been repeatedly cut many times, and the degree of healing was also different.In some places, the wounds have begun to scar, while in some places, they are still bloody.

Gray didn't know what happened to Beth, he looked at her, and couldn't say a word for a while.

Beth stood up from the recliner barefoot, still wrapped in the cloak, and walked slowly towards Gray.There was even a smile on her face, but at this moment, she could only appear to be more fragile, as if she would be shattered by the wind.She stretched out her arm and touched Gray's shoulder, comforting him silently.

"I-it's okay." She opened her mouth slightly and whispered each word.Perhaps the wound was involved, the smile on her face became distorted, and her eyebrows furrowed.

Queen Lulia looked at her disapprovingly, and reprimanded her in a low voice: "Beth!"

Beth smiled at her, shook her head to show that everything was fine, and still whispered to Gray word by word: "I'm-very-good, really."

This sentence seemed to consume all her strength, she touched Gray's shoulder again, but didn't say anything again.

Gray bit his lower lip tightly, but he couldn't feel the slightest pain.Somewhere in his heart, it was as if someone had thrown him into a freezer, the cold was unbearable for him.

No one can understand what Beth means to Gray.For him, Dimos City is not just a city to escape from the summer heat, but also a place where his own soul can relax.As for Beth, the city lord who is passionate, daring to love and hate with the aura that some modern people would have, gave Gray a sense of intimacy that he had never had before.

He likes Deimos City, likes Beth.This coastal city like a paradise of peach blossoms seems to be under the protection of the fog that surrounds it all year round, and it should always think about its own affairs so calmly and rationally.As for Beth, under Casio's gentle gaze, she should pretend to be her mermaid in the sea pool of the Santo's Mansion.

This is the life she should have, not what she is now, helpless and vulnerable like a bird with its wings broken.

Beth lay back on the recliner again, wrapped the white fluffy blanket around her body, sighed with relaxation all over her body, and soon fell into a deep sleep.The medicine she took to help the wound heal has a sleeping effect, so she has become more and more sleepy recently.

Queen Lulia looked at Beth's sleeping face, was silent for a while, and then said to Gray in a low voice: "This child is just like her mother when she gets stubborn. It's useless for others to say anything. But Anyway, I can't just look at her and find my own way of thinking."

Gray looked at her without saying a word.

For some reason, the words Beth said in Santa Lua began to come to mind again.

People from different camps, even if they barely stand together, there will be no results.
