Another day, the morning light fell from both sides of the sky again. They struggled to pierce into the biting cold wind. Perhaps this process was filled with pain, but they always spread to the earth quietly and indifferently.
It is a sunny winter after a light snowfall.
Aranza had long sensed a soul point resident outside the door, but it wasn't until he woke up one night that he had the intention to open the door. He quietly got out of bed and covered Hancock, who was still sleeping, with the quilt.
He stood up hurriedly. The window in the room was closed, but the cold air still penetrated through the cracks in the house, causing goosebumps to appear on Aranza's naked upper body, but he did not
After getting dressed, I walked downstairs step by step and opened the door to my residence.
The sudden sound of opening the door startled the messenger guarding the door. After finally catching his breath, he immediately bowed and handed the letter in his hand to Aranza, saying: "Your Highness, this is from the city of Yilan.
An urgent message arrived."
"Urgent?"
Aranza is confirming the word.
The messenger hurriedly explained: "Duke King Gates has already reviewed this letter and he thinks there is no need to disturb you immediately."
"Well, not bad."
Aranza had always admired Kim Gates's judgment. He took the letter from the messenger and stood at the door of the winter room to read it. But the messenger did not retreat and still stood respectfully in front of Aranza.
.
The contents of the dispatch are very detailed, even a little complicated. From the disguised patrol of Elita and others being ambushed on the slope, to the Holy Land battle that broke out in the central square of Yilan City in the middle of the night, this letter explains everything.
Ten records were recorded. When Aranza saw that the only person being captured was Li, Kim Gates suddenly appeared in front of Aranza. She didn't know whether to be sad or nervous. It was a sudden change without a clue.
"Well, they've all come back?"
Aranza handed the urgent message back to the messenger and asked.
"Yes."
The messenger replied respectfully: "Earlier, the airship from Yilan City to Noland City stopped at the tower in advance, and several adults have returned."
"in addition……"
The messenger glanced at Aranza's face nervously before saying: "In addition, Lady Elita woke up from her coma halfway through the voyage. Moreover, she has come to see you twice and said she would meet you later.
Come here, if His Highness the Prince wakes up, please don’t leave your residence for the time being..."
Hearing this, Aranza frowned, with a little more anger in her voice, and said, "Well, why don't you wake me up?"
The messenger immediately hurriedly explained: "It was Lady Ilita who heard that you and Mr. Hancock spent the night together, so she didn't ask her subordinates to wake up the prince!"
Because of the panic, the messenger spoke very quickly, without even the slightest hesitation. But such a tone was obviously not suitable for such words. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Aranza's face. He coughed to cover up and said: "Well, just
In this case, you go and get busy."
The messenger immediately felt as if he had been granted amnesty. After bowing to Aranza, he immediately turned around and ran away. No wonder he was so afraid of Aranza. This group of messengers were all selected from the recruits, and most of the recruits were very interested in him.
The memory of Aranza's massacre of the rebels was still fresh in their mind. They and the older generation of Norlander soldiers had different attitudes towards Aranza. The former only thought that Aranza was a bloodthirsty tyrant, while the latter believed that Aranza still had something in him.
The aura of the son of the Hero King.
Regardless, they all knew that Aranza stood above their commander, Duke Kim Gates, as their true leader.
Aranza returned to the living room of his residence, thought for a while, walked to the cupboard where the maid stored tea leaves, carefully sorted it out, and finally found a special black tea from the dazzling array of rare tea leaves. At this time, he was like
Like a great aristocrat with a leisurely and elegant taste, he took out the tea set, wiped it carefully, and boiled the water patiently, but without too much detail. Aranza directly put the tea leaves into the boiling water, even the vessel holding the water.
No replacement, simply turn it into tea.
When I was doing this, there was a knock on the door.
"Well, come in."
Aranza said as she distributed the teacups.
The door was pushed open, and the person who walked in was, as expected, it was Ilita. Her face was obviously pale, her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and she still looked tired. Even her steps were not as solid and powerful as before.
It looked shaky, as if if he accidentally bumped into her, she would fall down awkwardly.
Ilita sat down directly in front of Aranza, staring at his face with her eyes, as if she wanted to get a glimpse of something from it. She said, "You should know about the matter in Yilan City."
"Well, I've received the urgent mail."
Aranza nodded, poured out a cup of tea, handed it to Elita, and said, "I remember you said this tea was good when we were alone last time. Well, I brewed a pot specially this time."
"Need not."
Elita refused without hesitation. Her voice was cold, and she didn't even reach out to push the tea cup back. With just one sentence, Aranza's kindness was blocked. So suddenly, Aranza didn't know how to deal with it.
, could only let the cup of tea stop awkwardly in front of Elita.
Elita snorted, her tone not concealing her anger, and continued: "Since you have received the urgent message, why don't you do something?! Instead of staying in this room with your woman?!"
Hearing this, Aranza understood the reason why Elita was so angry. It turned out that she mistakenly thought that Aranza had received the urgent message long ago, but this was indeed the case. Naturally, Aranza should have seen the urgent message as soon as possible. Unexpectedly,
After getting the urgent message, Kim Gates made what he thought was a more reasonable judgment and suggestion, and specifically told the messenger to wait until Aranza woke up before handing over the urgent message, thus causing such a misunderstanding.
But it can’t be said to be a misunderstanding. Aranza understands what Kim Gates means. Fatty has been with Aranza for a long time. He understands Aranza’s character and understands that Aranza attaches great importance to her companions, and Kim Gates does this
The intention was to hope that Aranza would not pay too much attention to Li being captured, and thus be restrained by Alpha Lane.
In fact, Alpha also knew Aranza's weaknesses. When he killed Jessi, he knew Aranza's weaknesses and took advantage of them. This was true in the past and is true now.
Aranza took a deep breath. He did not answer Elita's question. She came too unexpectedly, so he was not prepared at all.
Instead, Elita sneered and said, "Are you going to say to me, 'I don't want to be led by Alpha because I am a prisoner?'"
Aranza's expression froze, and an imperceptible struggle flashed across his face. But Elita seemed to see this struggle. She did not continue to speak, but sat quietly in the warmth and comfort, but it did not bring her any feeling.
On the sofa, waiting for Aranza's reply.
Aranza's face slowly turned dark. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Well, I won't do that."
His words finally made Elita relax.
She seemed to be back to her original appearance, sitting upright, then she stretched out her hand to lift the tea cup on the table, and took a small sip. This small movement made Aranza feel at ease. Then, she stood up and walked to the large room.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the cool morning light passed through the transparent windows, gently caressing her skin.
This familiar scene made Aranza's eyes a little dazed.
Elita turned sideways, and the sunlight outlined the curves of her side, and the fatigue that permeated her body added a few different meanings to it, showing that she was not only a knight who was good at fighting, but also at the right age.
The girl's facts. She looked at Aranza and said: "I thought you forgot our agreement."
Aranza then remembered that in the same scene, he had said to Elita: Just leave everything to me.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. Sure enough, he didn't have much immunity to women. He promised too much and took care of too much. In the end, there was no need for the enemy to deliberately restrain him, he had already restrained himself.
But having made a promise, Aranza would naturally not go back on it, not to mention that it was a person's trust in him.
"Well, just leave it to me."
Aranza grinned at Elita and said, "Don't worry, I will bring Li back intact. Well, well, your body has not fully recovered yet, so you should rest first."
Elita did not move, she still stood where she was, looking at Aranza and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Aranza answered truthfully: "Maybe when Alpha uses Li to blackmail me, I will wait for an opportunity to rescue Li. Well, of course, maybe I will take the initiative. I still have several cards to turn over, right?"
Elita was silent for a moment, her voice suddenly lowered, and she said: "She is more than just my friend, Aranza, this is my advice, rescue her as soon as possible...otherwise...it will be very troublesome."
This sentence obviously has another meaning.
But Elita did not explain, and Aranza did not ask further questions. He just nodded towards Elita, indicating that he had heard her advice.
As a result, the two of them stopped talking. When leaving Aranza's residence, Ilita suddenly stopped at the door, turned around and smiled at him: "I finished the tea you gave me last time, and I'll let you know later."
Send some to me."
"Well, of course."
Aranza also smiled and answered. Elita's last words suddenly made him feel much more relaxed, but only after Aranza decided to save Li.
When the door closed, Aranza's face finally tensed. He turned around and walked restlessly in the living room. Rescuing Li, on the one hand, fulfilled his promise to Elita, but it also meant that
This means that Aranza must jump into the trap set by Alpha, and Aranza is not sure what she will face after jumping.
"Damn it!"
Aranza cursed in a low voice, but the person she cursed was herself.
