"Your Highness... Your Highness..." The girl's sleepy voice came with a slight snoring.
The pain all over his body had not disappeared, and his limbs began to slowly recover. Xavier moved his fingers vigorously. As his fingers slowly moved, his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
The light of sunset spilled in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of nearly four meters, like golden-red lake water, softly wrapping Xavier, who was covered in bandages, and Ye Luo, who was sleeping on his bedside.
Where is this place... Xavier was stunned. He slowly climbed up from the big mahogany bed. The exquisite and gorgeous reliefs. If it weren't for the starry sky, Xavier would have thought he was back in the Rose of Denia.
castle.
The familiar brown marble floor is covered with a white and brown pure wool blanket. Rushes and some unknown herbs are spread on the marble floor, and there is a pleasant fragrance in the air.
Looking from a distance, you can see the wooden staircase spiraling up. The color of the staircase is very beautiful, with wooden reliefs carved on it. There are white jade balls on the handrail pillars. The jade balls are like clouds that merge with the stars, winding up.
.
This place is so similar to that place, but Xavier knows that this is not there. It is not the Rose Castle in Denia where he has lived for many years, nor is it his private bedroom as the son of a duke.
"Master, you are awake. Miss Yeluo has been waiting for you for 13 hours. She is very tired. She told me that if the master wakes up, she will tell her as soon as possible."
An old and deep voice sounded, and the old butler stood on the watchtower of the castle bedroom not far away. His tall figure, worn by time, could be seen through the huge glass.
Naples paused gently, turned his head, and bowed deeply to Xavier on the bed.
"Of course, the old slave thinks that all this should be decided by the young master. After all, Miss Yeluo is the young master's maid."
"Let her have a good sleep, she must be... very tired..."
Xavier looked at Yeluo on the bedside. The little girl's head was leaning on the soft quilt. Her hand was tightly holding Xavier's hand, while her body was half-kneeling on the cold marble floor.
Her clothes... Xavier raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly knew why his body only felt a faint pain.
Yeluo's clothes were changed into a fluffy and large white shirt, which looked like a robe on her body. She seemed not to even wear her most cherished skirt... Xavier coughed lightly and moved his downwards
look.
Ye Luo's big white shirt was stained with dark red blood that had solidified all over the clothes. Ye Luo's face was so pale, but she was smiling in her dream, as if she had dreamed of something wonderful.
"Her abilities are damage transfer and super self-healing..." Xavier muttered to himself in horror, covering his head in pain.
"If the old slave's guess is correct, this should be the reason why Miss Yeluo asked the old slave not to page the doctor. She transferred all the injuries on the young master's body to her own body, but after all, she has the limit of endurance. When the old slave comes in
At that time, the wounds on the young master’s body were still very shallow.”
Naples's deep and steady voice reached Xavier's ears. He knew that his young master had also thought of this, so he spoke very softly.
"She... hurts a lot..." Xavier was a little at a loss. He didn't pull his hand back, letting Ye Luo hold her in his sleep.
"Old slave, I think so. Miss Yeluo let out a painful groan at first, and she fell asleep in extreme fatigue. By the way, she also asked me to prepare this big white sailor shirt. Maybe from that moment on,
Miss Ye Luo has already made plans."
Naples smiled: "She is a very good maid, Master."
"I know." Xavier said softly, stroking the soft long white hair.
"Naples, what time is it now?"
"Old slave..."
"Naples, you don't need to call yourself an old slave anymore. You are my family and my elder. Just use the most common self-name."
Xavier waved and Naples nodded deeply. He thought for a while and continued.
"It is already evening, young master. Due to Miss Ye Luo, the serious injury that originally took nearly ten days took the young master just over half a day to almost heal."
Naples paused: "The inner city and the outer fortress of Nori have been cleaned up by the city defense army. When the young master was in a coma, the old man... I had arranged for Norbert, the chief of the city defense army, and some businessmen to arrange for the demolition of the destroyed homes."
Citizens of Norway and civilians of other affiliated cities.”
"You did a good job. Our first priority is to appease the citizens, otherwise we will be no different from Marquis Luo Lei."
Xavier nodded in agreement. You must know that the old man next to him almost became the Minister of the Interior. In this regard, Naples can surpass him by seven or eight.
"Oh, by the way, young master. The Marquis of Rorey is dead. When you and Baron Holmland were in the inner city, the Marquis of Rorey committed suicide. And his knight commander, Ken. Although we have already
He was rescued, but after learning that his master was dead, he still drew his sword and committed suicide."
At this time, Naples' eyes showed a trace of solemnity.
"There are also close associates of the Marquis of Rorey, Lewis of the Norwegian Ministry of Finance and Weir, who is in charge of internal affairs. They both disappeared when the Marquis of Rorey committed suicide. No trace of them has been found so far."
"Really..." Xavier was silent. Just from here, it can be seen that this Marquis Luo Lei should have a huge secret. He even... no, the people behind him are even afraid that he will fall into the hands of others.
He won't even give himself a chance to be interrogated.
The dead are best at keeping secrets, and that mysterious secret will disappear with the suicide of Marquis Luo Lei.
"Naples, tell me, am I not suitable to be a... lord?" After a long silence, under Naples' respectful eyes, Xavier suddenly spoke quietly.
Without waiting for Naples to answer, Xavier continued with a self-deprecating tone.
"From Sentinoa to Deniabe, and then to Xuansi and Nori. How many people died along the way? They all died because of me. This time I fled... I... Leafa, and then to
Maxim, even Lacey..."
"I fled to Noli, and the price I paid was so many lives..."
"Young Master, although I have not attended a college, I have followed the master to the Royal Noble School of Saint North. I have also met Mrs. Lilith, and she said something to me..."
Naples stared into Xavier's eyes, his eyes were calm, comforting and encouraging.
"The lady said, 'Naples, I hope that if my child is unable to extricate himself from self-blame and guilt one day, I hope you can tell him not to regret. Regret is more serious than the things you can't extricate yourself from.'"
Naples walked to Xavier step by step, and he looked into his young master's ice-blue eyes.
"Master, I believe in you. The master believes in you. Madam also believes in you. Miss Yeluo believes in you. Arthur and Lord Yekarena both believe in you."
"Even the entire citizens of Nori, as well as the common people in its seven auxiliary cities, are looking forward to you leading them to the era of Nori."
"This is your significance as Lord Noli, and your mission as the twenty-sixth patriarch of the Rose Family."
