I'm going to find James.

When I got to his room, I found him packing some coarse clothes.I wondered where he got these clothes from. He didn't answer, but I found a few lists from the chair that he didn't have time to pack up. How many shillings, how many pennies, and how many sets of coarse cloth clothes are made to order on a certain day and month, and how much it costs.

Obviously, he still has to go.

I was angry at first, then sad.

He just smiled slightly: "Miss, I've been bothering you for a long time, and I don't want to stay here all my life and accomplish nothing. As my friend, you should be happy and encourage me."

I am speechless.

Do I really want to say: "Congratulations, you should go and earn a living by yourself, shouldn't you let your family raise you as an adult?" Pooh!

I went back to my room and took out a blank paper.This is a stack that Her Majesty the Queen bestowed on me when she made me a Viscount, and I haven't used it at all.

I wrote some words squarely on it, and then took this document to James.He took a look, frowned, and said, "I don't need your gifts."

It read: "Mr. James Norrington is hereby hired as tutor to the Lord Lady of Wilworthy, and squire to the Earl of Merrill, with immediate effect."

"It's not a gift," I replied, "it's just your last voyage. When your adventures at sea are over, I hope you'll still be willing to accept this position and meet us again."

He looked at the paper for a long time, then folded the paper carefully and put it in the inner pocket of his coat.After finishing these things, he gave me a deep salute: "Miss, I will never forget the friendship you and your family have towards me."

He used the honorific "you" again.

He will get farther and farther away from us.

I kept the sword Will made for him as a must-have weapon for his future outings.Even if he has to leave in the future, he will not conquer the world with just two hands.

Lizzy's wedding day has come.

Father used all his strength to hold a lively and luxurious wedding for Lizzy.Whenever I advised him not to spend too much money, he would retort me: "As the daughter of the Earl of Merrill and sister of the Lady of Wilworthy, Lizzy should..."

I can't listen to him nagging every time, I can only agree.

So, on a fine morning, when the beach was filled with tables and chairs for banqueting guests, silver tableware, crystal cups, and porcelain teacups were arranged in a patchwork arrangement on the table, ribbons and lace were tied on the chairs, and decorations on the mansion Holding a festive bouquet, Nolan, the old butler, led his servants and maids around in an orderly manner with exquisite pastries, fine wine and hot tea. , when I covered Lizzy with a thin white gauze and carried with me the gold rings that needed to be exchanged, the wedding began.

Dressed in the best blue gown he could afford (he insisted that his father not pay for their wedding dress), William stood before the clergyman and friends and waited.

Lizzy is as beautiful as a fairy, and she walks towards Will holding her father's arm.

There was a murmur of whispers from those around, no doubt admiring Lizzy's beauty and Will's handsomeness, and our family's happy life.The gentlemen opened their eyes wide, looking at the bride in white gauze and holding a bouquet, her golden hair fell on her shoulders like sunshine, and her green eyes were full of happiness and satisfaction.

I took James's arm and followed my father as he carried Lizzy to the altar.

There was another murmur from the crowd.

For several months, the people in Port Royal saw that although James resigned, he still lived in the mansion and went in and out with our family. They knew that James' status in the hearts of my father and me had not been lowered, so they couldn't say much.

An earl and a viscount are standing behind him, which is really a great strange thing for those gentlemen and ladies in Port Royal who only have property but no title.

Our family has not cut ties with other noble families, so people can still know our attitude.My father's attitude may be a little indifferent, but I still treat James the same as before, so some people even say that James is frustrated in officialdom and proud in love, and he has come to me as his "backer".

I calmly looked at James, who was smiling as he watched Will put Lizzy's beautiful ring on his face.Lizzy's gentle smile contrasted with Will's deep affection.

Can't help but feel sorry for him.

If it weren't for this hapless Jack Sparrow, maybe the groom would be James now!

Before I could react, a colorful thing rushed towards me with a scent of fragrance.Reflexively, I grabbed it in the air and sprinkled flower petals all over my face.

It was Lizzy's bouquet!

I looked at her just in time to see the Turners - Lizzy and Will laughing and looking at me.I took the bouquet away, feeling a little dissatisfied in my heart: You guy, don't you see that I'm in a daze?A bouquet hits you, if you react too slowly, you might lose your eyesight!

The people around let out a burst of cheers.

Lizzy and Will walked down the altar arm in arm, smiling and accepting people's blessings.I happened to see James' expression again, which was extremely cold.

With tears in his eyes, the father came to us: "Ah, my children, they are happy! Just now the flower ball hit you, I hope you will be so happy soon."
