Chapter 37 Residue, warming

Staying in front of the wooden textured door for a while, Fiya inhaled lightly, arranged her clothes and hair again and again, finally grabbed the doorknob, and twisted it vigorously.

Although she hadn't slept all night, Fia's brain did not become dull because of it. On the contrary, after killing the Demon General of Despair, she felt very clear-headed, so she was very clear that compared to the Demon General of Despair just killed, the next What lies ahead is more difficult.

The plan of the Demon General of Despair was both a failure and a success. He fell short and died in the final link. However, the previous part was all proceeding according to his script.

Plant the seeds of despair on the adopted Estier, wait quietly for Estier to be led out of the shadows by her sister, and then feel that Estier thinks she can do something for her sister. When she was a nobleman of Earl Lowe's family, let her know her fate, and made Estier kill her most proud and favorite family member with her own hands.

Even if the Despair Lord is killed by himself, those who died due to the Despair Lord cannot be resurrected.

slap.

With the sound of the doorknob being turned, Fia came into the house.

A luxurious noble house.

The wine-red carpet inlaid with gold silk is spread out, tea table, bookshelf, balcony and curtains dancing with the morning breeze are all available. In the center of the room is a dark red bed with curtains and canopies. It has been lifted up, and Estier can be seen lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.The long blond hair spread wantonly on the soft pillow, and Estier's calm breathing, made people mistake Estier for a Sleeping Beauty.

But the most conspicuous person in the room was not Estier, but the woman who was waiting beside Estier. As soon as she entered the room, Fia's eyes were subconsciously attracted to her.

Flame-like long red hair spread out behind her, and her whole body was only covered with a simple black long dress. Although her face was covered by black veil, it still couldn't stop the girl from being noble and mature, even if she was just standing there normally , let the style of the house rise a bit.

Noreen.

If there hadn't been this disaster, her aura would have attracted more attention, Fia thought in her heart. When she saw Noreen before, the air was always filled with mist from the rainstorm, and Noreen and her It's an enemy, so Fia didn't take a good look at Estier's sister. Now that the two sides are no longer enemies, Fia can't help but have a hunch that if Noreen is still alive, she will definitely not lose. For the beautiful women of Anastasia.

Since Estier didn't wake up, Fia could only try to communicate with Noreen. It's not clear whether Noreen sees her as a friend, so she had to approach Noreen carefully, so that even if Noreen slashed at her with a sword , she can also react immediately.

"Can you hear my voice? I'm Estil's friend, the eldest princess of the Elf Kingdom Silval, Dophelia Alexia Ushiel, I have no intention of hurting your sister, Just want to see how she is. Just nod if you understand what I mean."

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Noreen, who was wearing a veil, gave Fia an affirmative answer.

Although it was just a nod, it instantly transformed Noreen from a dead thing to a living thing.Even if ordinary creatures stand still, their bodies will undergo uncontrollable changes in the details, such as breathing and muscle tremors, which will give people a "life" feeling, but Noreen does not have these things, just like a sculpture.So when Noreen nodded, she gave Fia a strong sense of intimacy, letting Fia know that the person she was talking to was not a "dead person".

Fia asked further.

"Did Estier wake up just now? If she does, write her situation on the wall with a sword."

Feeling nervous, Fia waited quietly for Noreen's reaction.

As a result, Noreen didn't respond, as if she didn't hear what Fia said.

Sure enough.

Fiya's heart was full of joy just now, but now she fell into a trough again.Noreen has indeed lost her language ability as Anastasia said. The reason why she was able to "understand" her words just now is either that Noreen only remembered the incomplete language knowledge, or she only judged goodwill from her tone of voice. Or malicious, and then react accordingly.

Expected.

If Noreen retains the language ability and can convey information through lettering, things will not be so bad, because it means that she can warn Estier in a better way, step by step, in a way Estir can understand , Slowly tell Estelle the truth.

Now that she has lost her language ability and only her instincts are left, it is not easy for Noreen to do this.

Fia couldn't help sighing quietly.

"I don't know if you can understand, Noreen... The Demon General of Despair is dead, and even the body no longer exists. I don't know how long you can last. It would be great if you can stay alive forever, but if you can only keep it for a while, Estelle's condition is bad."

Fia's speech caused Noreen to gently hold her hands hanging down, and the silence in the room made Fia sigh again.

"Let's go out first, Estier needs time to think calmly." Fia had to explain because of the refusal on Noreen's body, "If I don't give Estier time to understand all this, even I can't Persuade her. Noreen's presence will make Estier become dependent on you... You know it too, if she sees you by your side, she must be only thinking about how to restore you, Noreen."

"Although this is also a kind of motivation, it will become a result that no one expects. Suppose Estier has no intention of restoring the territory because of you, the worst result is that she will be revoked her noble title and fief, and her spirit will also be lost due to disasters and Your existence is distorted, and this result runs counter to the Estier you expected, doesn't it? You don't want your sister to become a useless person either."

"..."

Hearing Fia's words, Noreen's resistance was much reduced, and Fia could even read hesitation and reluctance from Noreen's actions.

In silence, Noreen looked at the sleeping Estier. She stretched out her bloodless hand and gently touched Estier's pale cheek. Holding her golden hair in her palm, Noreen stood motionless until a few minutes passed.

In the end, she let down Estier's hair, drew out the long sword and went straight to the neck. The transition from extremely slow to fast made people unable to react for a while—of course, it was referring to ordinary people, and Fia rushed to reach it before the long sword In front of Noreen's neck, her fingers gripped the blade of the long sword.

"Hey, I'm not asking you to commit suicide, but I'm asking you and me to go out."

"..."

Feeling the weakening of the strength of the long sword in her hand, Fiya couldn't help but feel a little speechless. This communication was too strenuous.

"I mean, we should come in after a while, at least a few minutes after Estelle wakes up, and give her a little time to think. If Estelle sees you again after she has figured things out, she must be very happy." The future is more hopeful, so Noreen, you must live well, understand?"

Noreen was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Fia immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She let go of Noreen's sword, waved her hand, and walked to the door first.

"Come out when you understand."

Quietly, Noreen left the room dragging her floor-length black dress.

Chapter 38 Wishes and Don'ts

As a result, Estier didn't wake up until the sun went down.

Fia, who had dinner, came to the door. At this time, Noreen was still guarding the door, but it was different from Fia's motionless appearance when she came a few times before. Now Noreen seemed extremely anxious, and kept pushing The door, but the hand stopped suddenly in the middle, especially after seeing Fia approaching, Noreen seemed to have found a savior in an instant, and ran to Fia in three steps and two steps, trying to grab Fia's body hand.

It didn't take Noreen to say that Fia knew what happened—Estier woke up.

"Hush, leave it to me, don't expose yourself."

After making a silent gesture to Noreen, Fia came to the door. She first knocked on the door lightly, and then pushed the door open to enter the room. In order to prevent Estier from finding Noreen, Fia deliberately blocked the crack of the door with her body. After entering the door, close the door.

Estier was sitting alone at the tea table, and most of the water in the teacup was gone. It could be seen that Estier had been awake for a while.

Her face can be said to be extremely haggard.After hearing the click of the door lock, Estier recovered from her daze. She looked at Fia and smiled reluctantly.

"I'm still alive... Does that mean that the Demon General of Despair has failed? Or is this actually the kingdom of the dead, and you and I have become dead souls?"

"Of course it's the former." Fia took the opportunity to sit opposite Estier. "The Demon General of Despair is dead. I sent him to hell in his favorite way. It's a pity that you passed out and didn't hear his last words."

"Yes, that's fine."

Although the Demon General of Despair is dead, Estier has no emotional fluctuations in her body. She seems to have just heard a piece of ordinary news and calmly picked up the teacup.

Fia couldn't help hesitating for a moment.

Estier's reaction was too calm, which made people feel abnormal. However, Fia couldn't say anything about it, because she could think of Estier's thoughts—I am afraid that Estier had lost all hope and gave up on herself. However, once she holds such an attitude, things outside her body and even things related to her own interests will become indifferent. Maybe even if death is right in front of Estier, she won't dodge it, and everything is fine.

... You are not giving up on yourself, are you?Although she wanted to say something like this, Fia couldn't teach Estier a lesson from the perspective of a senior. She personally destroyed everything she cherished, including her relatives. She had already endured enough.

After deliberating for a moment, Fiya picked up the empty teacup from the side and filled it up on her own.

"Not only is the Desperate Demon General dead, but I have also cleaned up the chaos in the city. In the afternoon, the soldiers reported to me that one-third of the buildings in Xicheng District were still intact, and the other three areas should be similar. Chaos is not as precious as it is. and sell them for clothes and food, sure enough to get through the winter, and all that's left is—"

"Enough is enough."

Before Fei Ya could finish speaking, Estier stopped her with a voice mixed with impatience but calm. Her gaze was still on the teacup in her hand, as if her soul had already been placed in this thing.

"I'm not a nobleman anymore, Fia, it's useless to tell me these things."

"What do you mean you are not a noble?"

Fia frowned.

Estier's hand holding the teacup trembled, and she raised her face, revealing a half-lonely, half-bitter smile.

"I don't have the blood of the Ouluo family in me. Didn't the devil of despair tell the truth? I was adopted by my father...I was adopted by Earl Ouluo as a prop to appease my mother. The mother has no fertility and can only rely on raising children To satisfy her desire to raise future generations. Those nobles are right, I am just a fake. I should have found out a long time ago, only half of the wings have already told me the answer, and I still have to regard myself as a member of the Oro family .”

Speaking of this, Estier's sharp fangs bit her lips, and her words became difficult.

"If I hadn't tried to prove something that wasn't there, nothing would have happened, no, if I hadn't existed in the first place, father and sister Noreen and Knowlton and everyone in the city, they would have all To be alive, it was me... I caused all this..."

At the end of the speech, there was more crying in Estier's voice. She crushed the teacup as if punishing herself, the fragments pierced her palm, and the blood dripped on the carpet, but Estier seemed to be He didn't feel any pain, just lowered his head deeply, his voice and expression distorted together.

"I killed everyone...everyone died. Didn't I have the right to have them from the very beginning, the glory of the nobility and the person my lord sister expected? Feelings, what I hope for, are doomed to be untouchable from the very beginning! Why did I appear at Earl Oro's house, if I wasn't here, nothing would have happened—"

Eyes widened in an instant, Estelle seemed to remember something, and showed a frightening crazy smile. She stood up, as if she hadn't seen the blood dripping down her fingers, and took out her golden Cut long so that only half of the wings are stretched out in front of the body.

"By the way, it's because of it...it's because of this wing. I was given away because of it. Without it...without it, the disaster would not have happened, whether it's my own family or my sister's. Home, will not become what it is now, it is all because of it! And I who have it and I am not ashamed! We are all damned! Defective products should go where they should go!"

"stop!"

Estier grinned and cut the long hair towards the black wings, but before that, Fia grabbed Estier's wrist.

The table fell to one side because of Fia's forward movement, and the sound of teacups and teapots breaking broke all over the floor.

Fia held up Estier's wrist, and stared fiercely at Estier's eyes.

"Are you crazy!"

But Estier didn't show any timidity, she stared back at Fia.

"I'm just doing what I have to do! Let me go, Fia, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Hehe," Fiya laughed back angrily, "Not only did you kill your sister and father, but now you don't even recognize me, you are really a good puppet of the Desperate Demon General, Estier."

"asshole--"

Fia's speech obviously angered Estier, who tried to make a move, but because the wrist holding the weapon was pinched by Fia, she could only use the other free hand to beat Fia to the side of the face.

Ke Feiya didn't give Estier this chance, but took advantage of the situation and violently pushed Estier to the ground, took advantage of the situation to shake off the long scissors in Estier's hand, and pressed Estier's hands with her knees, The right hand pressed Estier's head, so that Estier's cheek was pressed against the floor.

"Listen well, the murderer who caused all this is the Demon General of Despair, and it has nothing to do with you, Estier! I took all the responsibility on my own head, and I didn't do it for the sake of you being a woman." I will teach you a lesson, I am annoyed just looking at your useless appearance now, how decadent do you want to be! Could it be that your so-called aristocratic pride is all lies for others to hear!"

"Get out of here!"

"It's time for me to recognize the reality!"

Anger welled up in her heart, and Fia pressed Estier's head so hard that the wooden floor made a "click" sound.

Fia's heart skipped a beat, she quickly let go of Estier, trying to pull Estier up, but to Fia's surprise, Estier was fine, and what followed And Estelle's fist turned around and swung at her.

Naturally, a fist at this speed couldn't escape Fia's palm, and Fia just raised her hand to catch Estier's swing.

"You bastard--"

Without giving up, after one fist was caught, Estier swung the other fist with all her strength, but as expected, she was also held by Fia.

"You still don't understand me! You can't be my opponent, it's time for me to wake up! First pretend to be pitiful, and then hurt yourself in front of me. If you don't want me to misunderstand that you are deliberately causing me If you don’t have sympathy with me, don’t let yourself fall in front of me!”

Fia glanced at Estier's forehead, where blood was gradually oozing because of her rough behavior just now.The sympathy in her heart magnified irresistibly, and Fia couldn't help pursing her lips. She felt that the strength of Estier's struggle in her hand was gradually softening and weakening, and then a low sob that could not be ignored was heard in her ears.

"Why... why can't you be gentle at this time..." Estier lowered her head, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably, as if all her strength had been sucked out. As Fia relaxed her strength, Estier Her knees softened, and she fell to her knees with a plop, "I've lost everything...why can't you be tolerant of me? Even this little bit of tenderness is unwilling to pity me...?"

There was a feeling of something being choked in her chest, Fia squatted down silently, put her hands on Estier's shoulders, looked at Estier at the same level, and softened her tone.

"The one who really killed Noreen and your father was the Demon General of Despair, not you. Estier is the same as those who died. You are all victims."

"But the Demon General of Despair is dead."

There was still sobbing in the voice, and Estier's uninjured hand held the hand that was pierced by the porcelain fragments.

Fia put her finger on Estier's injured palm, and said calmly with "Initial Water Therapy" to heal the injury.

"Well, yes, dead, I killed it. But Estier wants to hate me because her enemy was killed by others? If you really think so, then remember to hate me. I welcome you to take revenge at any time, but I will not lose my mind like you, and no matter what you do, I will not use force against you."

"You..." Estier raised her head, her blood-colored eyes showed anger at first, and then gradually softened her eyes, showing a miserable smile, "First the Demon General of Despair, and then you...? What do you want?" How long have you been teasing me? Are you happy to see me in a mess? Are we, aren’t we best friends? Fiya, you said this, best friend, are you lying to me? Or is it just a joke, only Do I take it seriously?"

At the end, Estier grabbed Fia's arms and shook them questioningly.

Her eyes were like those of slaves and refugees who had lost hope of survival. If she left like this, Estier might choose to kill herself. Looking at Estier with a face full of despair, Fia couldn't help but think so.

She hesitated for a moment, a different kind of emotion gathered in her chest, and then, with Estier's wide-open eyes full of disbelief and surprise, she hugged Estier tightly.

The beating of the heart, the temperature of the skin, the sound of breathing and the aroma surrounding the nasal cavity, all the sensory stimuli broke into the brains of the two of them almost simultaneously, stirring together.

Fingers on Estier's shoulders, Fia bit her lip with her cheek pressed against Estier's profile, restraining the trembling in her voice and whispering.

"I didn't lie to you, I just don't want to see Estier give up on herself, and I want Estier to cheer up. I don't know how to convey my heart to you, so I can only use this way, this is The only thing I can do is to use a clumsy method that looks like bullying... Now except you and me, no one knows that Estier is not Count Oro's own child, and no one knows that the disaster is caused by the Devil General of Despair. The seeds of despair are placed on Estier, Estier, you can continue to be the third daughter of Count Oro's family."

"...Don't be joking," although she was refuting Fia's words, Estier's tone did not have the same hostility at the beginning, she just said weakly and dejectedly, "I don't have father and mother flowing in me." The blood of adults..."

"But didn't Estier also say that both Earl Oro and Estier's mother recognize you as their child? As long as this is enough, even the most authoritative Earl Oro recognizes Ais Till, you are his daughter, what else does Estier mind?"

"And your sister, if Estier gives up here, what does Noreen teach you? 'As a nobleman, you should stand up when disasters happen. This is the nobleman of the Oluo family', This is what you said, and it is also the way of nobility that Noreen taught you. If you still recognize your sister and your identity as a member of the Ouluo family, you should stand up and become a new Earl Oro, then he has fulfilled his due obligations for the Ouluo family, nobility is not innate, and Earl Oro only became a nobleman when he was canonized by the founding emperor."

There was only sincerity in the voice, and Fia hugged Estier even tighter.

"If Estier gives up here, there will really be nothing left. The will left by Earl Oro and Noreen on you will disappear completely. I don't want to see Estier degenerate. I don’t want to sympathize and pity you, because the Estelle I know is a strong friend who makes me feel ashamed. I hope we are equal, not just me giving you alms. If you hug like this Being together can make Estier feel my mood, even if we hug it for a long time... Can Estier understand my heart? You don't have nothing, you still have me."

Not a word.

But Fia could feel Estier's answer—because the latter's body trembled more violently, and more than that, Estier seemed to be trying not to cry, and Fia could only hear something like Her mouth was tightly shut, but her sobs were extremely obvious.
