197 I'm hungry
There was silence in the entire hall, although the old mage was a demon, but at the same time, under the attack of two human powerhouses, it was almost impossible to escape. The butler, on the other hand, looked at the old mage in disbelief, the two of them had worked together since the young lady came to this castle, and they had been together for so many years, and they knew each other well.
The old mage was a gentle and kind person, and rarely got angry with anyone, although occasionally she would teach the stinky men who didn't open their eyes to provoke Miss Emma, but she never really dealt a heavy hand, at most she let the other party suffer a small injury, and retreated.
Personally, the butler felt that the old mage was a good person, a gentle and good person, but he never thought that this gentle and good person would actually be a demon.
"Why?" The butler still had an expression of disbelief on his face: "Why do you treat Miss like this, among all of us, isn't it you who cherishes Miss the most?" ”
The old mage's face showed a hint of pain, but it quickly disappeared, so fast that no one noticed. She laughed and said, "Why? Because I am a demon, because she is a pawn designated by our master, but I didn't expect that my disguise for so many years would be recognized so quickly. ”
Hearing this answer, the butler closed his eyes and couldn't help but feel sad for the young lady in his heart. The descendants of the royal family have always grown up in a deceitful environment, and after Miss Emma came here, she and the old mage got along day and night, and the two were almost like mother and daughter, and if she knew about it, it would be painful, and the butler could fully imagine it.
The butler wished it was just his nightmare, but the clenched fists and nails dug into the flesh of his palms, and the pain told him that it was just a luxury.
"What are you going to do with her?" The housekeeper looked at Liang Lidong with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
For the housekeeper's mind. Liang Lidong could guess, but he thought about it and said: "This matter should have been handled by Emma, I will be responsible for capturing her later, and the specific matter will be talked about when Emma comes back." ”
"Then let her go!"
A clear girl's voice came from Liang Lidong's back. Liang Lidong turned sideways and turned his head to see Emma standing at the front door. The girl's weak and petite figure was illuminated by the moonlight, and her face was hidden in the shadows that the moonlight could not illuminate, and her expression could not be seen clearly, but everyone could feel great pain from her voice.
Liang Lidong understood and slowly took a few steps back. Seeing this, Kyle also put away his weapon.
"Miss......" Joseph, the butler, saw Emma and called softly. Then he couldn't bear to look at it again, don't look over his head, the old man's eyes were slightly red, and he felt the same way for his young lady's emotions at this time.
The old mage had a little surprise on his face, and then guilt: "Miss...... I! ”
She had a lot to say, but she felt like she had nothing to say. Regret, guilt. There is also heartache, three emotions like three poisonous snakes. Constantly tearing at the soft feelings in her heart, she stared at Emma affectionately for a long time, then covered her wounds and slowly walked to the door.
As she walked up to Emma's side, she stopped and turned her head to look at Emma's face. After staring at it for a long time, he slowly left.
Emma turned around and looked at the old mage's back as he left, her body shaking slightly from time to time. The moonlight is still bright and cold, but it is no longer warm and moving.
The old butler wanted to come forward to comfort him. Liang Lidong pressed his shoulders and shook his head at him, and then the three big men went upstairs, leaving Emma alone in the main hall.
The old mage's figure disappeared completely, and the girl crouched down and buried her head deep in the crook of her arm.
Alice, a half-elf with a sharper instinct for other people's emotions, left the castle early and far away, summoned a unicorn, rode it, and roamed around the castle.
At this time, no one wants to disturb the sad girl, and sometimes the comfort of others is not as useful as letting the injured person hide in the angle and lick the wound.
Emma didn't know when she had gone back to bed, and when she woke up, it was already noon. In normal times, the old mage would have come to wake her up, and she hoped that what happened last night was just a nightmare, but the reality after waking up told her that it was just a fantasy.
She touched her swollen eyes, which looked like walnuts, and then used a healing technique, and under the effect of magic, although the redness and swelling of the eyes were disappearing at a visible rate, there were still some red marks, and she climbed out of bed, walked to the dresser, and covered the past with light makeup.
Emma is naturally beautiful and doesn't need any makeup to be beautiful enough, and this is the third time she has painted her eyebrows since she learned how to wear makeup.
When there was no blemish on her pretty face in the mirror, Emma got dressed and went downstairs, and then found that the butler was the only one in the main hall.
A sumptuous lunch was placed on the table, and the housekeeper was secretly relieved to see her expression as usual.
Emma sat down at the table, picked up her knife and fork, and casually asked, "Are they all full?" ”
"Your Excellency Beta, they're gone." The butler's face was a little happy, and the nasty ghost was gone, which was a wonderful thing for him: "They left a message to say, Princess, that you have a good rest for a while." ”
Emma's dinner knife was skewered with a piece of fatty tender meat, and she was about to put this piece of food into her mouth, when she heard the words, she suddenly paused, and then she slowly raised her head: "What, gone?" When? ”
Seeing Emma's expression, the housekeeper was shocked and secretly screamed that it was not good, but he could only reply stubbornly: "In the morning." ”
"Did they leave me anything?" Emma stood up suddenly, grabbed the butler's sleeve with one hand, and asked with a blank eye, "Or did they tell you where to wait for me?" ”
The butler's body shook for a moment, then he closed his eyes and shook his head with difficulty.
That's it! Emma whispered softly, and then sat back in her chair with a knife and fork, and sat quietly, her eyes not moving for a long time, looking at a plate of meat in front of her, as if she had lost her soul.
Emma sat quietly for a long time, maintaining a position and not moving, and the housekeeper looked at the heartache and couldn't help but say, "Miss, you can eat something." ”
Emma was still motionless.
Joseph couldn't help but shout: "Miss! ”
Emma's body shook a little, as if she had been woken up from a dream, her face was still so beautiful, but now there was something more invisible to cover, and she could no longer see clearly, or rather, it was not so bright.
"Oh, Joseph, is there anything wrong?" Emma smiled, but no matter how outsiders looked at it, they thought she was just laughing: "Oh, you said to eat...... I suddenly don't feel like I have any appetite, so you can remove all this stuff. ”
Joseph couldn't help but say, "Miss, but if you don't eat something, your body won't be able to hold it." ”
"I'm a professional, not so squeamish."
Still smiling, Emma stood up and continued, "Joseph, I'm suddenly a little sleepy, I'll go sleep for a while, and if there's nothing wrong, don't let anyone bother me. ”
After speaking, Emma went upstairs and went back to her room.
Joseph stood in the main hall, looking in the direction of the stairs with a look of regret in his eyes.
Then he sighed, and left the main hall, to ask the servant to buy some of the lady's favorite food. Then he waited in the main hall until it was almost late at night, but he did not see Emma come out of the house.
He was about to let the maid in to take a look, but he saw a maid running down from it in a panic, and shouted at the same time: "Butler, it's not good, the young lady is sick, and her body is very hot." ”
Hearing this, Joseph's first reaction was 'impossible'!
Although the caster's physique is slightly weaker than that of the physics profession, it is still much stronger than normal. The most important thing is that Emma herself is a saint herself, and she is good at treating others, even if there are some minor illnesses and pains, a magic can expel them, how can she get sick.
He was a little annoyed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
The maid hurriedly explained, "I didn't lie to you, young lady, she was so hot all over her body that she couldn't wake up, and she looked in pain. ”
Joseph frowned, he hurried upstairs, pushed open the door, and saw Emma sleeping under the covers, gasping for air, with an abnormal flush on her face. He pressed his hand on Emma's head, and he felt his hand red.
This is really not normal. Joseph hurriedly shouted outside, "Send someone to the Storm Temple immediately and ask a priest to come back, quick!" ”
A short time later, the valet came with a middle-aged female priest, and she entered the room, and then kicked everyone else out. Almost all the people in the castle were waiting in the main hall, crowded like a vegetable market.
Everyone had worried looks.
Not long after, the middle-aged female priest came out, and she said to Joseph, "It's okay, the saint's condition has stabilized for the time being." ”
"Miss, what's wrong with her?"
"There's nothing wrong with her body." The middle-aged female pastor pointed to her heart and said in a tone from a passerby: "But she is injured here, very seriously. She must have been in a bad situation lately, you have to be with her and enlighten her. ”
Joseph was silent, he didn't even know when the priest had left.
Under the influence of several healing and strong spells, Emma woke up in the middle of the night, and the maid who was in charge of her immediately rushed out of the room, shouting in the hallway, announcing the good news.
Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, he went back to his room, took out a white letterhead, came to Emma's room, and then put the letter directly in Emma's hand: "This is the letter left by Lord Beta for you, I put it away without permission, miss, you punish me." ”
Emma ignored him, and she hurriedly opened the letter, and her frail face gradually let go of a strange light, and soon she smiled, like a white lily blooming:
"Joseph, I'm hungry, prepare a supper for me." (To be continued.) )
