The winter of this year swept over with a cruel attitude. Large areas of thick white covered the earth, and even the sky was pale at first glance.

Migratory birds have already completed their migration, and most mammals have fallen into a long hibernation period.Now, earth and sky fell into an unprecedented silence.Only the north wind roared sternly, back and forth among the bare branches.

"There has never been such a cold winter in the imperial capital."

Grey spoke in a low voice, and Eudora glanced at him, and the emotion in her eyes couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or pity.

"For the winter with Van Nuss, this kind of weather can only be regarded as the beginning." She listened to the sound of waves hitting the shore from afar, and said softly.

So Gray didn't say anything more.

Wrapped in a heavy blanket, he took his eyes off the dancing flames in the fireplace and looked out the window.The orange-red color of the flames still lingered on the retina, so the snow field in the sight became a little more flickering pink.

But after a few seconds, the pink color disappeared.Outside the window is a whole piece of monotonous white, which strongly reflects the sunlight, and it hurts the eyes after looking at it for a long time.

Gray looked back and stared at the flames in the fireplace again.The burning firewood made a crackling sound. This kind of wood is very resistant to burning. They continuously emit heat to maintain the warmth in the house.

Without them, perhaps Gray would not have been able to stay in Vanners until now.

He stretched his hands out from under the blanket and moved a little closer to the fire.The beating flames cast a soft orange-red color on his skin, making it look less pale, but there was no way to cover up the bluish-black frostbite on his knuckles.

This is the scar caused on the way from the imperial capital to Van Nuss. Half a month ago, it was even more serious than it looks now.After half a month of cultivation, Gray's hands finally became less shocking.

Yudora looked at him, and suddenly began to doubt, could this child really survive in the country of Vanners?

He's still only 14 years old.

Gray's birthday party is finally held as scheduled, but the most important protagonist just made a quick appearance.After his engagement ceremony with Princess Emil was completed, Gray had to come to Vanners alone to visit Queen Vanners.The titular mother of Princess Emir.

And in fact, the program didn't rush to that point.

Eudora couldn't help but think of Kalotti's expression when they left the Tislandi family again.

She is absolutely clear about Gray's body.But even so, she just watched, and didn't even leave time for Geri to pack his luggage, especially warm clothes.

If Werther hadn't been watching her all the time, Eudora would never have doubted whether she would do something irrational.

But even so, she didn't make it easy for Gray.

The attendants sent by the Tislandi family disappeared immediately after leaving the imperial capital, leaving them with an empty carriage.If Angus hadn't arrived later, Yudora even doubted whether they would be able to come to Vanners smoothly.

Now, they are staying at the post station in Vanners in the imperial capital, waiting for Queen Vanners to summon them.Finally, I was able to take a short breath.

In fact, Eudora didn't understand why the person who had been cared for as a treasure for more than ten years suddenly changed his attitude so much?

She looked at Gray's gentle side face in the firelight, and couldn't help but ask, "Why, Carodia treats you like that? Doesn't she love you very much?"

Gray raised the corners of his lips slightly. He looked at Eudora, thinking that Eudora was an orphan just like him before, and he thought it was not surprising that she asked such a question.

"A mother's love, unlike a father's, needs no reason."

He said softly: "The reason why she loves you is because you are her child, so even if you do nothing and have no advantages, she is still willing to love you with everything she has."

"However, once this is not established, then no matter what you do, no matter how good you are, she will not be willing to continue to love you."

And Grey, in essence, is not Kalotti's child.

As Carlotti said, he is just a demon occupying this body.Therefore, it is enough that she can hate him as much as possible.

This theory was read to Ge Rui by Mu Xiao once holding a book.She had wanted to see her mother for a while, but this thought didn't last long, and before the end of summer, Mu Xiao stopped mentioning it.

She also threw that book in the corner and never opened it again.

Yudora still had a blank expression, but she gave up her plan to continue asking.Maybe there are some things that only those who have experienced it will understand.Got it, and then lost it, this process will be engraved on the soul.

She picked up the milk tea that was already boiling on the stove and poured a cup for Gray.They don't like coffee very much, and the country of Van Nuss doesn't have the habit of drinking tea.

"Want to add sugar?" Eudora asked.

Gray shook his head, took the somewhat hot cup, and held it in his hand to keep warm.The milk tea tastes very fragrant. Although Gray doesn't like this kind of overly sweet drink, it still smells good.

Eudora held the glass as he did, and she sat next to Geri, staring at the flames in the fireplace with him.

"You know." She said suddenly, "I spent a long time in Vanners when I was young."

She thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said, "For a foreigner, that is really a long time. Even now, I have never stayed anywhere for such a long time."

This was the first time Grey saw her smile. In fact, since they set foot on the land of Vanners, the invisible barrier on Eudora's body gradually showed signs of melting.

This country with a cold winter, in Yudora's view, may have its warmth.

"A foreigner cannot belong to a country, but in fact, all foreigners want to be a member of a country." Eudora blew on the layer of hot air floating on the cup, and continued: "It sounds very Contradictory. But in reality, it's just because the price of freedom is too high, nothing else."

"I was close to becoming a member of the Vanners Kingdom." She tilted her head slightly, her green eyes were confused, "This is a very good country, and I have never seen a better country than it. "

However, this is not her country.

"I can't swear allegiance to it with my soul, I can't do it." Eudora looked at Gray, chuckled, and asked: "Do you understand, to a certain extent, you are a more powerful person than me?" Outright alien."

Of course Gray understands.

Some things, some people, cannot be replaced no matter what.

Gray once imagined what would happen if he was exposed one day.He originally thought that if he lost his parents again, he would be heartbroken and unacceptable.

But in fact, Gray found that his emotional fluctuations were not as strong as he imagined.When facing Carodia's anger, although he was still sad, he felt a sense of relief.

Carodia was not his mother after all, they were not mother and son.

Even though they have been together for more than ten years, this point has not changed.From the very beginning, Gray has been a fully formed, adult soul.

He can accept all the arrangements of Kaluodi, and he can even die according to Kaluodi's wishes.However, these are because Gray feels that he owes Carodia, and he should pay it back.

He loves Kaluti, but he can't regard Kaluti as the pillar of his life like a child loves his mother.

"Tell me about your country." Eudora said, "What is that world like?"

Gray froze for a moment, thinking back to his own world.Those originally clear details are now blurred, and the more than ten years in this world have begun to gradually wear down his memory.But even so, the memory about Mu Xiao is still very clear.

He smiled and was about to say something.Yudora suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the stairs.

Angus came down from the second floor, his black hair messed up by sleeping.He didn't come back until late in the morning yesterday, and has been sleeping until now.He was still wearing a nightgown, slippers on his feet, and a look of not waking up on his face.

Yudora suppressed her smile, stood up, and returned to her room on the first floor.Gray didn't know why, Eudora never talked to Angus, and even tried to avoid staying in the hall with him at the same time.

Angus didn't care about Eudora's departure at all.He looked at Gray with a small smile on his face.

"Any food? I'm hungry."

He scratched his hair and said.
