brother wolf

Saint Rocco has ushered in another dawn, a feast is about to kick off, and you can feel the noisy factors floating in the air above the city.

Early in the morning, my maid came in beaming and opened the curtains. She put a necklace inlaid with gold, pearls and emeralds around my neck, and took a step back to examine it with admiration.

Human beings always like to decorate themselves with all kinds of cumbersome things.

I put on the cloak, and in her regretful eyes, I covered her painstaking efforts tightly.

I stared at myself in the mirror, the gray cloak hood hanging down, revealing some long silver-white hair, hands folded in the sleeves, walking slowly and silently, at first glance, how much like Ignatius.

I was lying in the garden, holding a roll of parchment in my hand. So far, I have not gotten used to this kind of precious yellow "book". Why do you do that?

I don't want to be someone who changes history, and I don't think it's necessary.

I like to watch the torrent of history flow slowly and silently along its inherent track, just like the sun rises and the moon sets.

Of course, the root cause is my laziness. Since I can enjoy the leisurely days of reading in the garden and basking in the sun, why should I let this change?

It's a pity that fate has destined that such a wonderful time will only pass away, and bursts of eager footsteps suddenly appeared within my hearing range, and the chaotic voices seemed to tell me that something happened.

I put the parchment on the table, stood up, and looked at the figure that appeared around the corner of the garden.

The boss hurried towards me with a group of attendants.

He has charming long silver-gray hair, deep and soft brown eyes, an elegant face, always with a suitable smile, and he seems to do everything with ease. As a leader, he can always make people feel happy. Trusting and reassuring, almost no one can detect his impatience and cruelty under this disguise.

"Wh-what is it?" I asked before he came any closer.

The boss tried to hold my arm, but I pushed him away. Although I am really inconvenient, but not to this extent, he said: "Orlet I was assassinated and died during the celebration."

I was taken aback, the news was too surprising, and I hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The boss frowned. Obviously, the circumstances of the assassination of Orrett I also made him a little puzzled, "An arrow shot from the square pierced the chest of Orrett I, just when he was about to announce the successor. When I got the news, I thought that the arrow was very strange, the distance and angle, even the most powerful marksman could not do it."

It is very strange that this kind of thing can happen in such a tightly guarded place with heavy guards, which makes me wonder what special method the assassin used to do this impossible thing.

I thought of the mercenary leader I met a few days ago, Ignatius' former disciple-Malros, his slender and cold eyes seemed to be right in front of my eyes.

Just as I was thinking about this possibility, the boss had already pulled me back, "We must leave Saint Rocco as soon as possible."

Oh, yes, yes, now San Rocco is no longer a safe place for us, it will soon become a mud pit, Queen Zmeri will not let go of this opportunity to catch them all, this assassination is just a prelude , a more brutal struggle lies ahead.

I called the old housekeeper, gave him one thing, and watched him complete the matter according to my instructions. After that, I followed the boss to the annex where Leonard was.

The golden retriever is already waiting there.

The annex is already in a mess, and everyone is preparing to go out. After a while, after Liddell's city guards have dealt with the chaos in the square and some necessary follow-ups, they will definitely block Saint Rocco immediately. Sometimes, it is troublesome to go out.

The boss took me to an empty room so that my feet, which are not suitable for standing for a long time, could rest. I watched him walk a few steps with some anxiety, and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

"I cannot go to Tyre with you, I must go to the province of Mor to gather the legions that remain there," whispered the boss, "and must go at once," he added.

I nodded, indicating that I understood, and just said, "Be careful."

He looked at me in disbelief, "Seles, don't you have anything to say to me?"

I thought about it and said, "Bon voyage".

He sighed, stroked my hair lightly, lowered his head and kissed my forehead lightly, "Lion will go to Tyre with you, take good care of yourself, don't make me worry."

He gave me a deep look, and I could barely keep my composure under his gaze.

I looked at the slender figure of the boss who was about to walk out the door, and I couldn't help shouting, "I—"

The boss immediately turned around, walked back, and looked at me expectantly, "What do you want to say?"

When you were an animal, you could lick its fur without hesitation and play with it. Why did you become estranged, cowardly, and cautious after becoming a human?

I asked myself in my heart.

This is a difficult degree to grasp, depending on your EQ, not IQ and school education.

You have to carefully maintain a balance between brother and lover. Of course, I will never be ambiguous. However, when a certain boundary is drawn, then the normal behavior between brothers will no longer be appropriate, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts. A feeling of embarrassment and avoidance.

"I'll wait for your return in Tire." I hesitated for a long time, and finally choked out these words.

Of course, the boss’s expression was obviously a little disappointed. He was not very satisfied, but he also knew that he could not force me too much—his previous reckless behavior had not been forgiven by me, so he nodded, held my hand, and held it tightly. , and then left the room.

With the boss gone, the room was suddenly silent.

When I walked into the courtyard, the little fire was flying back and forth in the fountain. When it saw me coming, it raised its head and rushed towards me with a loud cry. After hovering over my head for a while, it landed on my shoulder.

It gently pecked my face and hair with its sharp red beak, and looked at me intently with its red eyes, as if it could understand my depressed mood now.

I put it in a cage and covered it with a layer of black cloth, which made Xiaohuo very unhappy, it pecked my hand hard, I gave a wry smile, who made it so noticeable, If we don't cover it up, the whole of St. Roch City will immediately find out that we have escaped.

Even though Leonard packed his luggage as quickly as possible, when our group walked to the harbor, we found it was still too late.

Liddell's action is too fast, he may have blocked the gates and harbor of San Roque City in the first place, and now the soldiers of the city guard are checking the crowds entering and leaving one by one, everyone complains, but no one dares to enter the city The guards complained openly under the shining sword.

Of course, there was nothing illegal about Leonard and his party. They stayed at the station next to the market, where there was a small courtyard where they usually rested and unloaded their goods.

On the way, news kept coming.

Things really happened as I expected. That afternoon, Queen Zimeri announced that the assassin had been caught and confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes. What caused an uproar in the entire court was that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually Princess Lodia. She announced the arrest of Lodia. Princess Tia and handed her over to the Council of Elders for a public trial.

The problem now is that the situation is not clear. I don't know if Queen Zmeri put the boss and the golden retriever on the wanted list as the accomplices of Princess Lodia. If so, isn't that hitting the barrel of a gun?

We'll just have to wait, Leonard sends Candy up front to see what's going on.
