For three days in a row, the girl waited outside the stone door, but she neither sent anyone to disturb William nor made any noise.
Sitting quietly in the verandah, the girl seemed to have transformed herself into a stone statue, always looking at the opposite side with a smile. The hot water in front of her was replaced countless times, and the delicate pastries were eroded by moisture.
However, this girl still comes early every day and leaves quietly in the dead of night. Although this behavior is very strange, everyone in the consul's residence has long been accustomed to it.
She comes from an ancient aristocratic family. Not only has she won the praise of the etiquette officer since she was a child, but she also looks more and more cute as she grows older.
Three years ago, she was sent to the Principality Academy by her family because she declined the marriage proposal of a certain noble. Unexpectedly, she, who had always performed well, was now just a junior magician.
This is the reality of aristocratic families, whether it is a girl who is born with a good skin, or her insignificant status as a junior magician.
"You will graduate next year, and I will choose a husband for you. I hope you can bring honor to the family." These were the last words of the girl's father on her birthday, and they reflected the despair deep in her heart. p>
She likes the Principality Academy and likes every magic class, or she hopes to sit in the same classroom with someone. However, this beauty only lasts for one year, and her happiness is fading.
The girl looked at the iron door opposite, trying to extract the other person's voice from the wind. However, except for the increasingly cold temperature, everything was being swallowed by the night.
The slave behind him sighed, and then put his coat on the girl. The girl turned around and smiled, although her expression was very cute, but it lacked a trace of sincerity.
"Miss, it's getting late. I'm going to prepare the carriage first. It's time for you to go back." The servant bowed slightly, then turned and left.
The girl slowly opened her mouth, but in the end it twisted into a smile. This is a skill she has learned since she was a child, and it is the last piece of clothing she wears.
Perhaps because she had been sitting all day, the girl planned to get up and leave, but unexpectedly she fell down on the verandah.
With numb legs and red fingers, she bit her lip and silently adapted to the pain coming from all parts of her body. The moonlight came quietly, and there was no sound in the garden.
"Are you okay, why are you sitting here alone, are you stupid?" A greeting broke the silence, and the girl felt like a goldfish separated from the water, and she was about to die of suffocation.
"I...I'm here to visit Mrs. Chloe today, and by the way...I want to see you too, you...you haven't gone to class for many days."
The girl lowered her head and stammered in reply. She didn't dare to look at the other person, let alone tell her true thoughts.
"Oh? Then I really practiced a little too much. The person who guarded here every day before turned out to be not you, ghost?"
William sat on the wooden chair and looked at the other person with a smirk on his face. After more than three years of getting along, how could he not know the other person's thoughts, but he never liked the fake smile on the other person's face.
"I'm sorry, I should have pulled you up, but now these two arms are a little sleepy, you see." William tried his best to stretch out his arms, as if this small movement was extremely laborious.
The arm covered with scars was scorched black due to excessive use of fire magic elements. The nails were all broken, and the skin was filled with bloodshot eyes.
It shook slightly involuntarily, but the two palms still kept the appearance of holding the magic crystal tightly. The joints kept rubbing against each other, and the small sound seemed very abrupt in the dark night.
"I guess it will be like this in the next two days. I am really a waste." William grinned and said mockingly.
Tears fell down drop by drop, wetting the girl's dress. She slowly raised her head, the usual smile on her face had long since faded.
She looked at William, at the boy she had longed for. In countless beautiful dreams, the two had already become an inseparable community.
"Are you hungry? You haven't eaten anything today." The girl stood up and sat across from William and asked softly. She looked at the food prepared for herself. Although it was a little cold, it was not unpalatable.
Entrance.
"Then I'll trouble you, ah..." William chuckled and then opened his mouth.
"You...what are you doing? I...I..." The girl's face turned red after hearing this, but she did not refuse, and she shyly brought the food to the other person's mouth with her fork.
Time passed by, and the two stopped talking. The night was beautiful tonight, with stars and a bright moon in the sky. The sound of chewing faded in and out, and a trace of sadness appeared on William's face.
"I will graduate next year, and my father plans to let me enter the Imperial Council." William said softly.
"Well, this matter has already spread throughout the High Court. After all, you are the best among your peers." The girl lowered her head, not daring to look into the other person's eyes.
"Do you even think so? It seems that none of us can survive the arrangement of the God of Destiny." William took a sip of wine and replied with some disappointment.
The girl's body trembled slightly, and her finger bones instantly turned white. As if she had made some determination, she raised her head again.
"I have no interest in judging other people's fate, but I know what I want to see most."
"Rather than die because of your cultivation in the future, I hope you can live a long life in depression, even if you are resented for it, even if I never have anything to do with you again."
"What can the Great Magister do? Lord Grylls is just an ordinary person. One day of happiness is far more precious than ten thousand years of pain."
The girl screamed heartbreakingly, but her voice still sounded beautiful. Her tears fell into the wine glass, and the ripples continued to spread.
William, who was opposite him, smiled and nodded. Only at this moment did he accept the other person's intention. Rikka's figure in his mind quickly faded, and the girl's voice and smile became clearer.
"People want to poop when they're full, what do you think? Can you give me a little more help?" William asked with a playful smile, while the girl, who was immersed in sadness, just stayed in place.
A moment later, she stood quietly in the moonlight, holding toilet paper with her face flushed. As for William, who was squatting in the shadow, he excreted filth.
"You know, my ex lost love today, and the other person is just a poor man." William said.
"You know, that cute little girl?" the girl twirled her fingers and whispered back.
"I have always wanted to be a magician. This has been my dream since I was a child."
"But I will definitely become like my father, because this is the responsibility of being a Xisai person."
"This is what I say in my heart, and it is also the fact that I still don't want to face."
"Are you willing to stay with me, even if one day I really lose my hands?"
After William said that, he suddenly appeared next to the girl. His dark blue pupils reflected the moonlight, and his two scarred arms were still hanging.
"I am willing to stay with you all my life, no matter whether you like me again in the future, because no one will be forgotten by the world."
A moment later, the two sat back on the verandah again. The girl kept stuffing food into William's mouth, and William swallowed it all.
"William, has your consul's mansion not been cleaned for a long time? Why does it smell so bad?" the girl frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Ah? Have you forgotten? After I pooped just now... you also know that my arms are just decorations now."
William laughed heartily, not caring about the other party's embarrassed expression. He had long wanted to experience it firsthand about using toilet paper without toilet paper.
