The palm of the person holding her hand was warm, with calluses between the fingers, like someone who had been holding a weapon for a long time. Lixi's heart trembled, and an indescribable sense of familiarity spread in her heart.She probably thought of something but didn't dare to confirm it, for fear that she would make a wrong judgment, so she shouted tremblingly, "...Charles?"

"Yes." Charles responded to express his presence, but Lissie could clearly hear that Charles' voice was some distance away from her, as if separated by a table, so Lissie could already judge whether the person beside her was Shire.

Lissie was silent for a moment, and then moved her hand slightly, but when she touched a not deep and not shallow mark in the palm of the person holding her hand, she stopped struggling.At that moment, a thought became clearer and clearer in her mind, and just when the answer was about to come out, Lissie took the initiative to hold the man's hand tightly.She was excited and nervous.The name came to her lips very directly and naturally, but she didn't have enough courage and confidence to call it out.No one spoke in the restaurant, it was very quiet, as if they were waiting for her reaction.

Lixi was anxious, until the man gently kissed her on the forehead, her eyes finally couldn't help the water, and she shouted a word, "Brother..."

After yelling that word, Lissie subconsciously held her breath. She was looking forward to the other party's response and at the same time afraid of the other party's response.A big rock hung in her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.Time also seemed to stop at this moment, the restaurant was extremely quiet, and the sound of burning candles made her even more irritable.Then, Lissie heard the man's reply, "Yeah."

——Really, really, brother...

After getting the answer, Lixi's heart was suddenly filled with soreness, grievance and joy, and she threw herself into the arms of that man desperately.Lissie didn't cry, she just kept calling her brother by his name, and she was sure that she really heard a "yes" in response.

Edward, who finally saw his sister, felt complicated, especially after knowing all the things that had happened in the past six months.He didn't even know that his younger sister, who was held in his hands and cherished by him, knew what his parents and he were hiding, and that she had endured so much alone, and even experienced all the tragic and hopeless things!As long as he thinks that his favorite sister is stained with whose blood and is dragged into the dirty and corrupt world by those greedy guys, Edward feels his heart hurts, and he feels that he is going crazy!

Look, his innocent Elizabeth was forced to make a pact with the devil; forced to live in a body made of clay by a group of conspirators; and her bright green eyes were hollowed out. god!Seeing his sister's harmless expression, Edward felt his heart beating extremely fast, and the boiling blood in his body clamored that he would definitely make those who hurt Elizabeth's life worse than death!He wants to do that!Even though he knew that those bastards had been eliminated by Shire, as long as he thought that the damn mastermind was still there, he couldn't bear the urge to kill!

His sister, his favorite sister who has always been held in the palm of his hand...

Edward's eyes were sore, and the warm liquid almost burst out.

"...Brother, you're not dead. That's great." Lizzie buried herself in Edward's arms, her voice muffled.

"Well, I'm not dead...of course not." Edward's voice choked.

"But... but you at that time..." The tears welling up didn't allow Lixi to finish her sentence, she even choked up several times before she could finish her sentence. The complex and gushing emotions made her thoughts a bit disordered.

Edward gently pushed his sister away, then held her hand and slowly placed it on his chest, with a slightly sad voice, "Lissie, what can you feel?"

A strong beating frequency spread through the pressing hand, and Lissie knew it was the beating of the heart.She laughed and tears rolled down her face, "At that time I thought I lost everything..."

"But Lissie, my heart is still beating so strongly. My dear sister, my brother is here... my brother will always be your guardian knight." Edward wiped away tears for Lissie.

Lizzy sniffed and nodded.She suddenly chuckled, "...I seem to be crying all the time recently."

"It's nothing, you can cry if you want, laugh if you want, this is your right." Edward comforted softly.

Lizzie reached out, trying to paint Edward's face.That familiar and warm touch is not illusory, "Brother, you survived..."

"Yes." Edward smiled, "Lissie, I'm right in front of you, you don't need to confirm."

"I'm just worried...brother you will leave..."

"No, Lissie, I won't leave you." Edward did not let Lissie finish speaking, so he replied with such certainty.But his firm answer was ruined by a sneer.

It was Viscount Doroit.The man was maliciously spooning the food on his plate into unsightly colors and shapes.Viscount Doroit received Edward's warning eyes, but he still planned to go his own way. He even made a sarcasm, "Edward, you protect your sister too much. Lady Francis' daughter is not just a golden girl hiding under the wings. Canary, you should put aside the so-called love and care, and take a good look at the growth of Elizabeth Midford."

Edward frowned, but he didn't say anything to refute. He looked at his sister with empty eyes, and felt very uncomfortable.

Lixi didn't quite understand what Doroit meant for a while, but she subconsciously asked, "Will you leave? Where?"

This time, no one answered.

Lissie hated the silence, especially when she couldn't see it.

"...Although I really can't bear to disturb the reunion of Master Ford and Miss Elizabeth, but Miss Elizabeth hasn't eaten since she woke up. You might as well take a seat first and enjoy some food from our Qing Empire." Food." Liu hugged the blue cat who had returned to his side, and invited with a smile.prevented the deterioration of the situation.

"And our topic is not over yet. It was requested by Earl Fadomhine, and now Viscount Doroit has also agreed. After all, Miss Elizabeth is also a member of our temporary small alliance army, and it should be I know that we have reached a consensus agreement." Liu picked up the red wine on the table and shook the glass gently, the dark red liquid swayed into an elegant arc in the transparent glass.He said this to Edward.

Edward looked at Liu expressionlessly.

"Elizabeth hasn't eaten for a day, her body won't be able to take it anymore." Charles, who had been silent for a long time, said, his voice was unexpectedly hoarse.

Lissie feels uncomfortable as Charles calls herself the distant "Elizabeth" again.

Edward took Lissie to his seat.

As the core figure of the Allied Forces——after Liu ensured that Lixi tasted some food to ensure her physical needs, he took a sip of red wine gracefully, and then asked with a smile, "Miss Elizabeth should have a lot of questions."

Because of her frail body, Lixi actually had many things that she couldn't eat casually, but the bowl of porridge called eight treasures that Liu prepared for her was unexpectedly delicious.Hearing Liu's words, Lixi curiously put down the spoon in her hand, wiped her mouth gently with a napkin, and then assumed an extremely upright sitting posture, "Can Mr. Liu answer for me?"

"Actually, everyone here can answer for you." Liu smiled like a cunning fox.Surprisingly, no one else spoke, which seemed to be the default.

Lixi was silent for a while, then suddenly chuckled, "Mr. Liu mentioned the allied forces earlier... I am very interested in this word."

Liu was very surprised. He thought that even if Lixi couldn't get to the bottom of it, she would at least ask about the next move.But Liu quickly realized that if he asked the "Allied Forces", it was equivalent to asking about their next movements.
