When the Dayun stopped steadily at the landing site in Rheinburg, immediately, a group of left-behind personnel, including White, Heyana, and Margaret, rushed forward. According to the original plan, the goblin airship should at least
They returned two days ago, but there has been no news. For this reason, White almost ordered all his troops to go straight to Windsor Castle to find out what was going on. Fortunately, in the end, Heyna calmed the anxious people and continued to consolidate.
The city was defended while patiently waiting for Moriarty's return.
"Morty, what's going on? Did you encounter a demon sniper during the voyage? Or did the talks with Salk not go well?" As soon as he saw Moriarty stepping off the airship, White was the first to step forward and asked urgently. Look.
It can be concluded that this follower is really anxious.
"No, everything is fine. It's just that after leaving Windsor Castle, I went directly to McLellan, so I didn't come back until now."
Moriarty smiled apologetically at White, but his smile was somewhat stiff.
"It's okay."
As the mage's closest follower, White immediately noticed the strange look on his face and couldn't help but frowned strangely, but he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, as long as the person returned safely, everything else could be discussed later.
"How is it here? Are the demons outside attacking? How is the city gate reconstruction work going?" Moriarty coughed softly and then asked again.
"No, after killing three high-level demons, the demon army outside the city never launched an attack again, and even took the initiative to retreat one kilometer to maintain a 'safe distance' from Rheinburg." When it came to business, White said
No longer delving into Moriarty's weird performance, he said directly: "At the city gate, the steel gate on the inside has been basically installed. Now Master Henry is leading the goblin craftsmen to strengthen the iron gate on the outside."
"Yea, very good."
Seeing that everything was in order and well in the "base area", Moriarty nodded with peace of mind. Then, without further words, he led everyone directly to the inner castle. However, when passing by Margaret, the female werewolf seemed to
Smelling something from Moriarty's body, his face changed sharply, but he immediately suppressed it. Moriarty just pretended that he hadn't seen it and walked past.
"Hai Na. I want to talk to you about something."
After briefly informing him of the contents of the alliance agreement signed with the two viscounts, Moriarty dismissed his subordinates, and then stayed alone in the conference room with his fiancée.
"What is it, Morty?"
Looking at the strange expression on the other side that she had never seen before, Haiyana suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, as if she had a premonition of something.
"It's about Mathil..."
Seeing his fiancée purse her lips slightly and clasping her hands, Moriarty had the urge to punch herself. But some things have happened and they need to be faced.
"What's up with her?"
Of course, Heyana is no stranger to the name "Matile". And the reason why she insists on coming to Erathia with Moriarty is mostly because of this unmasked but...
The long-famous noble lady, as for the other half, is Margaret. In fact, Moriarty has corresponded with Mathil all year round, and even ordered a complete crystal glass flower house as a gift to each other.
, Haierna is aware of it.
To be honest, Heyana's feelings towards Mathil are not entirely disgusting or defensive. Just like Margaret who is willing to follow her fiancé through life and death, Mathil, as a viscount noblewoman, has been alone for many years.
Marrying, waiting for someone, this kind of affection is also understood by Hae Na. Because she is the same. However, a woman's love has always been "selfish". No matter how much she feels sorry for the other person, Hae Na will also understand it.
I never want my fiancé to be "loving and sentimental".
But it's a pity that the heartbreaking nightmare that once occurred in the midnight dream is about to really appear in front of you at this moment.
"I have decided to marry Mathilde." Moriarty said every word with a tight face.
"...What about me?" Like a thorn bird singing in despair, the world in Haierna's eyes was instantly submerged by the ocean.
"I will marry you first."
Looking at his fiancée's pale, mournful face, Moriarty slowly knelt down on one knee and lowered his eyes.
"Marry me first?" Haiyana bit her lips and looked at the man kneeling in front of her.
"Yes. I will marry you as a Bracada mage, and then marry Mathil as an Erathian noble." No longer able to escape, Moriarty had to come up with this absurd solution.
"Haha, so 'smart'..." As if hearing a cruel joke, Haiyana suddenly chuckled, but it was more regretful than crying.
“…”
With no answer and no discernment, Moriarty could only respond in silence.
"What about Margaret? Are you going to be a 'Junker' again when you go to Clorode? Will you live up to her?" After a moment of silence, Heyana finally asked loudly with a cry.
"I have no idea…"
"...Morty, do you still remember our vows?" Weeping, Heyna seemed like an abandoned cub, her eyes full of disappointment and sadness.
"Of course I remember. 'I want Heyana to be my fiancée. From now on, I will love her, protect her, accompany her, and never leave her for the rest of my life.'" Moriarty nodded and read in a deep voice.
"So what now? Morty...do you still love me?"
"I love you, Heyana! I love you forever!" Moriarty trembled slightly as he raised his head and looked at his fiancée who was in tears.
"However, you betrayed me and your oath..."
Finally, for the first time, and for the first time since the two met, Heyana angrily yelled at Moriarty.
"Haina..."
"Stop talking, stop talking!" Holding her face in her hands, letting her tears wet her long skirt, Haierna turned around and staggered towards the door.
"Haina!"
"Don't come here! Leave me alone, just me..."
Without stopping any longer, the extremely sad Heyana returned directly to her room and locked the door tightly, as if she did not want to see or even hear Moriarty's voice again.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Moriarty seemed to be possessed. He just stood motionless in front of the door. It was not until more than ten hours later that he finally realized that something was wrong and rushed to the inner castle.
White, Guderian and others at the top saw Moriarty, whose eyes were red and stiff as a stone statue, and they hurriedly forced him away.
"What happened, Morty?"
In the lounge, White looked at Moriarty, who was still silent and staring blankly in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.
But didn't get any answer.
"Tell me, Guderian, what's going on?" Taking a deep breath, White turned directly to the silver-bearded dwarf beside him and yelled: "What on earth happened in the past few days!?"
"What else can there be, woman..." Glancing at the unresponsive Moriarty, Guderian finally whispered the secret.
"?" White, who was already suspicious, immediately called out the name.
"Yes." The dwarf nodded heavily.
"groove!"
It was extremely rare that White immediately started to curse. If it were something else, no matter how difficult it was, as a follower, he would risk his life to help, but when it came to this kind of love affair between a man and a woman, no matter how much White wanted to help, he could only stand aside.
While watching, he also knew a lot about Mathil. Moriarty rejected him that day and Salk Pearl left the meeting in the middle of the meeting. White even saw it in person. But he never thought that the two would meet again a few years later.
Seeing it was like thunder from the sky hooking into the earth's fire, "burning" directly. Moreover, now Heyna has known about this and reacted greatly. But what's even worse is that Moriarty is obviously dealing with Mathil
His attitude is also "real".
"Morty, I don't care what's going on between you and the viscountess, but there are two things you must understand!"
After gritting his teeth for a long time, White finally stood up, walked up to Moriarty, and said loudly.
At this time, Moriarty finally raised his eyes and looked at his followers.
"First of all, even if you plan to be a 'bastard' again, you should take good care of Heyna first! When we lost news in the hurricane wilderness, Heyna almost committed suicide because of this! You owe her too much!"
"You're right, I'm a bastard." Looking at White, Moriarty finally said, his voice as dry as sandpaper.
"Very well, you bastard, listen carefully. Secondly, no matter how tired, troubled or painful you are, you have to stand up for me! Now, in this Rhineburg, there are hundreds of lives waiting for you.
'Take care of'. Unless all of us are dead, you can't fall down. Do you understand!?"
By the end, White was almost yelling at Moriarty!
"I know, White, I know." As if he wanted to laugh, but failed to twitch his lips, Moriarty looked at the excited followers who applied, finally stood up slowly, and said decisively: "Before I fall,
, no one can die."
"Morty!"
At this time, Guderian on the side also came closer unknowingly, his small eyes filled with a rare mist.
"Oh, stop pretending to be pitiful. I won't make you new armor if you don't pretend anymore." He glared at the silver-bearded dwarf, and Moriarty smiled apologetically at White: "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"Well, that's good!" White sighed softly.
"I'm going to take a nap first. Call me when it gets dark. In addition, send someone to bring some food to Heyana. It seems that she doesn't want to see me for the time being." Moriarty looked at the two of them again.
The follower nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.
"White, is Morty really okay?" Looking at the other person's back, Guderian looked a little worried and asked cautiously.
"How can it be okay? I'm just enduring it." Shaking his head, White couldn't help but sigh again, and then suddenly growled at the dwarf: "I told you to watch him carefully, what happened!?"
After saying that, he ignored Guderian who was stunned by the scolding and strode away.
"How can you blame me for this? I can take care of hunger, I can take care of food, and I can take care of people's happiness and fun?" As if he was infinitely aggrieved, the dwarf pouted and dug his nose. (To be continued...)
