Chapter 548
Guangchen and Xia He parted ways and embarked on the road to the Lu family, as for whether he could get the fourth Eight Wonder Skills, it was still unknown.
A year ago, when Frida returned to the royal capital, Ackerman and his wife died at the hands of human traffickers, leaving him and the little girl Mikasa still living on the edge of the lake.
The afternoon sun was in the sky, and the sunlight cast mottled shadows through the gaps in the leaves, and underneath that, Mikasa was holding a motionless posture with the fine sweat on his forehead, as if he was about to lose his hold, and his legs were trembling.
Just as she couldn't bear it anymore, a rattan slammed into her back, pain overriding laziness, and she was in her position again, but the bitten lip spoke of her patience at the moment.
A moment later, the words sounded like heaven to him, "It's okay. ”
Mikasa's whole body was like a deflated ball, and he instantly collapsed to the ground, and his undulating chest seemed to have run ten kilometers without stopping.
She was puzzled, why couldn't she endure such an easy thing for her, even though her body had undergone indescribable changes? Yes, she thinks it's easy for her, it's easy to do.
Although she was puzzled, she didn't ask, and the bigger question was, what is the use of doing this?
Kaneki didn't explain what he was doing this for, there was no need for it, and there was no obligation, what she asked of Mikasa was that she didn't need to ask, didn't need to say, just did what he told her.
Since the death of Mikasa's parents, she has been silent, she usually looks cold, not so approachable, and the only people who can communicate with her are those who want to be old, and occasionally come to visit the Jaeger family's child Alan and Arnold's child Amin, but most of them are also those two children talking, and she listens quietly.
She has a maturity that does not match her age, not only because of the accident of her parents, but also because from that moment, she understood that if she wants to survive in this world, she must become stronger than anyone else, protect herself, and protect important people.
Mikasa, who was drinking porridge with his head down, thought of this in a cranky way, and looked up at Kaneki, who was biting the bread at the same table, and slowly lowered his head when he didn't look at it.
Maybe this person doesn't need her to protect him, but so what? It was her decision.
"Lately, if there's nothing to do, don't go to town, I've been restless lately, and I might have to go out, so during the time I'm away, you're going to stay at home and not go anywhere."
Listening to Kaneki's faint words, Mikasa wanted to speak and stopped, not planning to speak, but still asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"I don't know, follow my instincts, remember my words, and don't go anywhere." Kaneki seemed reluctant to reveal anything, and his tone became a little unkind, intending to dispel Mikasa's curiosity.
Even if he is unwilling, he can only keep his doubts in his heart, and Mikasa will never discount Kaneki's instructions, but when he thinks that he is going to leave for a while, he is a little reluctant in his heart.
Since the death of her parents, for Mikasa, Kaneki, who takes care of her, is her only relative, and now that her relatives are far away, how can she be calm?
Looking at Mikasa hanging his head to hide his loss, Kaneki reached out and stroked the top of his head, "It's like I went out in the past, and I will still come back, and it's not like I won't go back, so why do you want to make such an expression?" ”
"I'm not the same person I used to be." Mikasa looked up at Kaneki, biting her lip with a determined expression.
Hearing this, Jin Mu was stunned for a moment, and immediately lost his laughter, "You mean to say that you can help me now?" Little girl, it's too early for you to do this, and I don't want to be distracted to protect you. When you really grow to the point where you can reassure me, I will take you with me. ”
"Then say okay, when I do it, you can't go back!"
"Of course..."
The next day, the lone traveler left the hut by the lake without any bags, and the food and expenses left behind seemed to have been deliberately calculated enough to allow Mikasa to live without going anywhere for three to four months.
Normally, this situation indicates that Kaneki will be away for a long time, of course, his longest time is only a month, maybe this time it may be a few days later?
The heart sank, but she didn't show any depression, even if Kaneki left, she didn't slack off, even if there was no one to supervise, she didn't want to be lazy, because this was what Kaneki ordered, and it was also because, doing so, it seemed that she would make herself stronger.
"Mikasa... Mikasa..."
A whispered call sounded behind the wooden house, Mikasa didn't squint, this voice seemed to be Alan? She didn't feel bad for half of her playmates, but on the contrary, she had some sympathy, because every time he came, he would tremble in front of Kaneki, and that was because he disturbed his 'practice'. Therefore, he didn't dare to come to her openly after that, so he could only sneak around like now.
If it was before yesterday, maybe Mikasa would have thought about whether to just steal or something? But today, she has no such thoughts at all.
"I'm not going to town during this time, you go find Amin."
After that, there was no movement on Allen's side. Even if this will disappoint his playmates, it is better than disappointing Kaneki himself.
Mikasa was engrossed in his practice, and his mind was not distracted.
The royal city has welcomed an old guest, not many people know him, but not one of them will appear here.
Kaneki looked at the 'palace' with a deep expression, his instinct telling him that he needed to come once, and this feeling was due to Frida, which meant that she might be threatened.
The sixth sense is like this, although it is mysterious and mysterious, but it is impossible to ignore its existence and accuracy, and with the idea of what if, this trip must also come.
Coincidentally, Kaneki came to the wall of Sheena and unexpectedly saw Dr. Jaeger, in fact, it is not a strange thing to see acquaintances, but when you think of some situations, you will find such a thing very strange.
For example, Dr. Jaeger almost never left Higanshina, and if he did, he would do so within the Rosai Wall, because the Sheena Wall was too far for him to be tolerated.
Secondly, Dr. Yeager did not have any familiar patients within the walls of Heena, and of course it is not excluded that someone had invited him on purpose.
Although he was skeptical about why Dr. Yeager appeared in the city, Kaneki didn't think much about it, why did he have to waste his curiosity on the other party, just a doctor? Thinking of this, he laughed to himself.
If he can see through the future, he will be annoyed by the decisions he has made now, and it turns out that the key to things is sometimes reflected in the details that you see on a daily basis, and if you find out, then congratulations, things will be easy to solve. If you don't see it, then things get out of control and get out of hand. However, the most painful thing is that you have clearly noticed, but you have not taken it to heart.
Of course, this is only an afterthought, after all, things have not yet reached the point where they are out of control, and they have not even happened.
Before he came, Kaneki was thinking, did he go directly to Frida? Or do you protect it covertly?
If the former is the case, there is no doubt that it is necessary to sneak into the palace, and there will be no movement at that time, even if she sees Frida, I am afraid that she will most likely be driven away, because in Xiao Nizi's thoughts, she needs to bear the fate of being a royal family for the Reis family, and her appearance will shake her determination.
Therefore, the best way is to stay in the shadows and protect it secretly.
Of course, Kaneki didn't need to protect Frida while she was still in the palace, because the palace was so tight that it was impossible for anyone to assassinate her in it, so it was important to note that after Frida left the palace.
Now the reputation of the Reis royal family is very good, which is also due to Frida, the unusually close princess, you can see her appear in the people every now and then, either to help the poor, or to comfort the wounded soldiers, or to bless the born baby or something, although this seems to be a bit of a show, but what can be done is called a show, and the most afraid is that you don't do it.
Frida spends four or five days a week in the palace for good deeds in the city, and the six and seven days are unknown, and no one knows what the princess does on the sixth and seventh days of the week, but it is her own business, and who would ask?
Thinking that Frida is in danger and that someone might assassinate her, if I were an assassin, when would I choose? At the time of the royal palace? Naturally not, that would be tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. In the time of giving? She will have careful protection around her, but she will not be able to.
So, the answer is only on the mysterious sixth and seventh days, and only at this time, Frida is acting on her own, and there is hardly any defensive force around her. If I were an assassin, I would definitely choose to strike at this time.
Therefore, Kaneki needs to figure out where Frida has gone in the past two days, and as for why she is going, the purpose is not important, and he will not care.
Sometimes, though, even if you don't want to care, it will still let you know and then have to care.
In the palace, the room belonging to Frida is still dressed as a noble lady, and her appearance is more bright and moving than a year ago, Frida gently combed her long hair, she didn't seem to have anything wrong, it was very natural, but from the trance that flashed in her eyes from time to time, she could find that she was indeed a little absent-minded.
Seeing this, the maid serving on the side couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this was not the first time she had seen the princess like this, even if she tried her best to hide it, but her heart seemed to be unwilling to show people in a plain posture like this, or that kind of emotion was too strong to hide it.
The maid with a lover knows very well what such an expression means, which means a kind of longing, the entanglement and helplessness of not being able to meet.
In this regard, she was very curious, what kind of man could make such an excellent Wang Nuji care? This man she had never met made her curious and jealous at the same time, because the princess was a woman who was so good that she could ignore her gender, she was so noble, pure and kind that no one could bear to cause her any harm.
Yes, this made her feel a little dissatisfied with the man she had never met, and it was simply an unforgivable thing to let the princess be so distracted.
"Maggie, is my itinerary ready?"
Frida's call sounded, causing the maid Maggie to come back to her senses, looking at the princess's face in the mirror that had recovered her indifferent complexion, she straightened her face and bowed, "Yes, Your Highness, it has been arranged, and this week is still business as usual." ”
Frida nodded slightly, "That's good." ”
The maid suddenly stopped talking, as if she had something to say, but she didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this, Frida frowned slightly, "Maggie, say whatever you want, you have been by my side for so long, you should know that I have never been an arbitrary person." ”
Hearing this, Maggie plucked up her courage and said, "Your Highness, I think you should need someone to accompany you on the sixth and seventh days, although I know that you have not encountered any danger so far, and I also know that my words are a little disrespectful, but things are inevitable in case, if there is an accident at that time, I am afraid that all of us will regret it, and this country, this world within the wall, those people who love you do not want to see you have an accident, so, please think about it for our sake..."
Maggie was not the first person to put forward this opinion, but without exception was rejected by Frida with a smile, and this time, naturally, it was no exception, "Maggie, I understand your kindness, but there are some things that I don't want people to know, and at the same time, I also want to have a private time of my own, and in this time, I am not a princess, just an ordinary girl, just Frida, not Reis." ”
It seems that because of someone and something, Frida has such a mentality and thoughts, even if she is curious, Maggie will not ask, let alone dare to ask, so she can only choose to bow down helplessly.
In this regard, Frida smiled faintly, but she thought of something again, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, as the role of the princess, it was really not what she wanted, this was the responsibility brought by Reis's surname and her innate obligation, and it was a kind of fate that she could not escape, she could only do what she could in her limited time, even if she had the opportunity to get away from it all, because she didn't need to, and she didn't want others to bear such a heavy responsibility.
