Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 130: Meeting Old Friends in a Foreign Land (Part II)

Keth heard Avi talking about Field, and she began to recall the moments with Field, did Fielder really just want to be a great mercenary leader? He never seemed to reveal his heart to himself, nor did he mention what he really wanted, he was just trying to build the potato mercenary group better and stronger.

"Where did you say the Potato Mercenaries went in the Battle of Doret?"

"I think I'm going to leave the Theoguna Empire, or maybe I'm going back to the Papal States, but I don't know where I went. ”

Kesi nodded, took a sip of sweet cider and said, "I'm sure they're doing well now, maybe they'll come to the capital of the Kingdom of Salins!"

Avi "chuckled" in his heart, he just put on a smile and nodded as he ate.

"By the way, I heard that you used to stay here for a while, and then because of some... Is it true that they fled here for the reason?"

Kesi looked around for a moment before she spoke, "Avi, I treat you as a friend, so I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, I did escape from this palace in the first place, and I did not do it alone, there were other people who helped me. ”

"Do I know that person?"

"Of course, he isβ€”" Keth hesitated to say Rost's name, and finally she walked up to Avi's ear and told him the name.

Avi didn't expect it to be Rost, and he asked puzzled, "Why..."

"I don't know, but it's my secret, and I hope you can help me keep it, and if you can find out why, I want you to tell me. ”

"Well, I see. ”

After that, the two of them began to catch up while eating delicious food, mostly nostalgic for the mercenary days of the past, whether it was Avi or Cash, they both regarded each other as old friends they met in a foreign land, and it was lucky enough to be able to dine together in Mallot's palace tonight. Avi also told Kesi how she entered the Kestrel Academy and how she obtained the status of an official cadet, which made the Duchess from the Duchy of Druman feel ashamed, because Kesi came to the Kestrel Academy at the suggestion of the eldest prince Bradley, and she never thought that she would become a member of the Military Academy.

"I really didn't expect you to be such a noble nobleman, I just thought of you as ..."

"Alas, the world is unpredictable, in fact, I don't think I'm a nobleman, let alone marrying into the royal family," Kesi didn't drink as much as Avi, her cheeks began to show a flush, and her eyelids drooped, "If I had to choose, I'd rather stay... Stay with Fed's side and continue to be a mercenary, wandering the world in the name of Kesi..."

Avi is also a little drunk, but he is much more vigilant than Kor, and he speaks while paying very careful attention to his surroundings. The servants had long since retreated, so no one could hear what Coss was saying.

"Then will you really marry Prince Walter when he returns?"

Kesi hesitated for a moment, and a bean that had just been stuck in a fork also fell to the ground, "I... In addition to being Christine of Draman, I am also the daughter of my father, Webster Tenemus, and the Duchy of Dramain needs the Kingdom of Salins as a powerful ally and backing, and this is my answer. ”

Avi lowered his gaze, and of course he could sense that Kesi liked Fed. Although it is not known what Field's predecessors think of Miss Cash, there is a reason why they are regarded as a couple by the other captains, and only the most obtuse person will not see the special relationship between Grass and Field. Unfortunately, Kesi is a political pawn after all, and Avi has also learned about many political marriages in mainland history textbooks. Those political marriages can sometimes turn the tide of an entire country and change the lives of many people. But these historical political marriages never asked the parties who were used as pawns, including Walter, the third prince of the Kingdom of Sarins, and he and Koth couldn't help themselves.

"Those things are still far away! It will be next year at the earliest, although this year is almost over, the entire continent will definitely focus on the political marriage between the Duchy of Noao and the Kingdom of Cose, not me and ... Walter..."

Avi nodded, he also knew that the Ice Princess of the Winter Kingdom would soon marry the son of the Duke of Aldington, and the strength of the two countries together even surpassed that of the Kingdom of Salins, and the impact on the entire continent was very significant.

"Then raise a glass for the wedding of the Winter Ice Princess!" Avi picked up the glass containing the cider, and distracted the other from the topic of Kesi.

"Okay, too, for the old part of our two potato mercenary group!, Koth and Avi will be able to meet in Mallot!" Koth smiled lightly, she hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time.

Later, Avi forgot how he got back to Stitch's house, all he remembered was that Coral carried him from the door to the bed, took off his coat, covered him with a quilt, and put a cup of hot tea next to Avi's bed, and Avi fell asleep in a daze.

Avi vaguely saw Ben Nicott in his dream, and heard the other party's words, "I once told you that when your attention is high, you can communicate with me. But you can talk to me when you're very sleepy or drunk. ”

"Really? But I don't think it's a blur. ”

"It's because the effects of alcohol make you lose your mental vigilance, but that's not a bad thing, I used to be very fond of drinking because it helped me delve into psychic magic, after all, a drunk person can sometimes see hallucinations, and those hallucinations are things in his mental plane. ”

Since the next day was a weekend, Avi, who had no classes, slept until noon and was woken up by Stitch.

"You're hungover!"

As soon as Avi heard Stitch's voice, he felt very uncomfortable in his abdomen, as if a fire was raging. He struggled to get up from the bed, but the pain in his limbs and the sharp pain in his brain caused him to fall back into bed quickly, unable to get out of bed.

"Coral has said that the wound on your chest has not healed before, and this time you drank so much wine, you are really asking for your own suffering! I don't care about you, I asked my classmates to play today, and I originally wanted to call you, but now I have to go to the meeting alone. Stitch's voice faded away, and Avi slowly reached for the cup of hot tea. With a dry mouth, he drank all the hot tea with his eyes closed, and his eyes stained with feces could not be opened. He vaguely noticed that Coral was coming over, wanting to pour Avi some new hot tea.

Seeing Sango's concerned expression, Avi instantly recalled the appearance of his mother Joni, if the person standing in front of him now was not the unspeakable Sango but his mother, a fierce reproach would definitely be indispensable. However, Coral silently picked up the teacup and left, without uttering the slightest word of reproach, as if she was the only one who could tolerate what Avi had done.

Avi slowly stood up from the side of the bed, and he stood by the window for a long time before he came to his senses. Avi vaguely remembered that he and Kesi were drunk last night, and then there seemed to be some dignitaries who took Kesi away, leaving only the servants to help him out of the palace.

"It's such a gaffe... Although Kesi used to be her mercenary partner, she is now the daughter of the duke and the wife of the third prince, how can I get so drunk with the other party... What a gaffe!"

Slightly regretful, Avi looked down the street, and a blue-haired young man appeared in his blurred worldβ€”it was Cylanes! But what surprised Avi even more was that there was another person beside Celenos, and it seemed that the person who was called "Captain Owen" looked at the back!

How could it be these two people?, Avi wondered as Coral had already brought the freshly poured hot tea behind Avi, and she had some cereal, gruel and juice in her hands.

"Avi..."

Avi reacted from his doubts, he looked at the food that Coral had carefully prepared for him, and with a shameful face, he immediately took the cup and bowl and devoured it.

"It's delicious! It's delicious, and the things made by coral are even better than those made by the palace chefs!" said Avi as he ate, fiddling with one hand in sign language.

Coral couldn't help but smile, "It's good to your liking, I'm still worried... I'm worried you don't like it..."Coral also responded in sign language.

"How could it be! Sango, you are so virtuous, if anyone marries you, they will definitely be happy for the rest of their lives. ”

Coral shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at Avi.

"I'm sorry to worry you again," Avi wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said in sign language, "I drank because I met an old friend, and I will..."

Before Avi could finish his sentence, Coral suddenly leaned over to Avi, put his head on Avi's chest, and hugged Avi tightly.

"Sangoβ€”" Before Avi could figure out the situation, he subconsciously stretched out his two hands and hung them in the air. In the end, Avi didn't hug each other, just hesitated, hesitated all the time.

Until Coral pushed Avi away and left the room, Avi didn't say a word. He could feel Coral's breath and heartbeat, but all he could think of was Miranda. After coming to Mallotte for so long, Avi also felt that Coral took special care of himself, it was definitely not as simple as friendship, but Avi had a heart, he couldn't accept Coral at this time, and he didn't want to hurt each other, because Coral's background was too pitiful.

The hangover and the coral affair bothered Avi so much that he left the house and before he knew it, he was walking outside the door of the White Orphanage.

At this time, the gate of the white orphanage was locked, and the tall gardener who was supposed to be standing behind the door and paying attention to the situation outside was gone, only some garden nurses were repairing the flowers and trees in the orphanage. When Avi got closer, he learned that the head of the house, Dugore, and another minister, Heck, had ordered all the orphans to be taken to other cities temporarily, and the entire white orphanage was vacated for them to investigate. The gardeners who were taken away were all taken to the capital prison to await interrogation.

Avi sighed softly, and a sigh could be heard behind him.

"Well, you brought down the White Orphanage, right?"
