This afternoon, although the wind was not strong, it was extremely cold. However, Werther was standing on the cold ground, seemingly drinking ice water leisurely.
"Ah, Your Highness, are you sure it's not cold like this?" Tom passed by him carrying a flowerpot and asked with concern.
"It's okay, this stove is really too hot. I have to drink some ice water to cool myself down." Werther said while shivering all over.
Tom glanced at the stove. There was no flame at all.
"Your Highness, do you think my eyes are not working well? There is no firewood here, how can it be hot?" Tom sighed, "Why are you doing this?"
"Haha, I was joking with you just now. I just want to stimulate my body's potential."
Werther knew that this could not stimulate the body's potential, but it could stimulate the magic potential. He did this just to make it easier for him to go back to the bedroom to practice magic later. If he didn't know magic, this would only make him more susceptible to the cold, so he wouldn't
Will do this.
Tom frowned and whispered: "But why is there no flame in the castle's furnace? Could it be that there is no firewood in the castle!"
Werther opened his eyes with a little force and said in surprise: "That's right. In the past, there was always a fire in the castle's furnace. Why is there no firewood today? Who is usually lighting the fire?"
"Bonnie usually lights the fire. If there is not enough firewood, she will tell York, and then York will go to the woods to cut some firewood and bring it back."
"It turns out that York is also helping in the castle, which is really gratifying." Witte said, "But did Bonnie forget to watch the fire, or did York forget to chop wood?"
"I don't know either, Your Highness, I'm going to ask them now."
Tom soon found York sweeping the floor not far away: "So you are here. There is no more firewood in the stove. You should go to the woods to cut some back now."
York raised his head in slight surprise: "What, we've run out of firewood! Usually when there's still a small amount of firewood left, Bonnie will tell me in time, but why didn't she tell me that this time we've run out of firewood!"
"It turns out she didn't tell you this."
"Yeah, she used to be very diligent, but recently she seems to have changed. She doesn't look very energetic."
"Speaking of which, it's true that she's rarely seen these days. On the contrary, you're doing more and more work."
"Mr. Tom, I heard Kara mention recently that Bonnie is indeed often restless, and I don't know what is bothering her."
"I think if she needs help, she will tell us one day sooner or later. Why don't we just let her rest these few days. You go chop wood and I'll light the fire."
"Mr. Tom, you are so kind. I will go to the woods now." York put the broom aside, took off his apron, hurriedly put on his cloak and walked out of the door.
Werther heard their conversation clearly not far away and was curious in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it now. He had better go back to the bedroom to practice magic while his body was cold.
He put down the cold cup and ran upstairs. When he first entered the bedroom, he saw from the window that there were more dark clouds in the sky than yesterday. He thought, if it snows heavily today, I must
Lina wakes up.
He practiced magic for another two hours and found that he had made some progress and felt more at ease. At this time, the outside was still the same as before, not to mention large snowflakes, not even small snowflakes.
Maybe now is the time to go to the town and see how the workers built the house. He went downstairs again and planned to go to the kitchen to find Wile. When he stepped into the kitchen, he found that he was still washing the dishes.
"I remember you were brushing it three hours ago
!" Werther put his hand on the kitchen door frame and looked at the tableware in Wile's hand in surprise.
"It's hard to clean the tableware today, Your Highness, my hands are almost sore now. What can I do for you? If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me." Wile curled his lips, looking very impatient.
Witte spread his hands helplessly: "Well, if it were another lord, he would definitely not be able to stand your tone and kick you out. I am the only one who is extremely tolerant of you."
Wile stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Werther, narrowed his eyes, and sighed after a long time.
"Well, Wile, what are you thinking about?"
"If you drive me away, it will definitely be a huge loss for you."
"I have no intention of driving you away. Please wash the dishes quickly. I wonder when you can finish washing them?"
"Uncle Potter was very tired just now and has gone to his room to rest. Now I am the only one washing the dishes. It will probably take a long time, and I have to clean them before dinner. I can't leave for a quarter of an hour.
"
"In this case, I can only go to the town by myself. You can take your time and I'll leave first."
Werther walked towards his cloak, when a gentle and white hand reached out to pick up the cloak. He turned around in surprise and saw Lina standing in front of him with an expressionless face.
"Well, you're awake?"
"Yes, I just heard the conversation between you and Wile." Lina continued to be expressionless, and her voice was even colder.
Seeing that her tone just now was a bit strange, Werther couldn't help but shudder.
Linna continued: "Are you just thinking about Wile? I didn't sleep last night. I washed the dishes in the kitchen for a long time by myself and mopped the floor of the castle."
"Really, you did a good job~"
"Wait, I didn't mean to say this!" Lina suddenly clenched her hands into fists, put them under her face, and said with her eyes closed, "You just said you wanted to go to the town, but why didn't you go to me?
?And it’s cloudy today, so I can obviously go out! You just told Wile that you were going out alone, which is too much!”
Werther was confused after hearing this, looked at her in surprise, and asked: "You said that, do you want to accompany me to the town? Of course that is good, I am very happy, but the reason why I didn't invite you just now
Together, because I didn't know you were awake."
Linna suddenly opened her eyes and was even more surprised: "What, didn't you receive my note?"
"A note?" Werther shook his head blankly and said, "I didn't receive it."
"It's strange. After I woke up at around two o'clock in the afternoon, I hung the cloth bag with the note on your door handle. The note said, It's cloudy today. If you go to town today, I will
I'll go with you. I thought it would be very romantic, but I didn't expect you didn't see it at all. No wonder we misunderstood just now." Lina's tone was slightly aggrieved.
Werther lowered his head slightly and thought carefully. Someone must have taken away the cloth bag hanging on the door handle, but who was it? Was it Carla? Although Carla had always been against Lina before, she could not do it without reason.
I suspected that she might have fallen to the ground and was swept away by someone.
"Are you making the bag from linen?" Werther asked seriously: "If it were made from linen, it would probably be swept away as garbage."
"Well, how could I use linen cloth? There is a note I wrote to you in it."
"Haha, I'm just kidding. I mean, did you use a cloth that looks like linen to make a bag that looks like linen?"
"No! I wanted to give that cloth bag to you by the way. Of course I made it out of nice-looking cloth. It's a bright pink soft cloth with a
It’s embroidered with two ducks and my name, and it’s still brand new!”
When Werther heard this and saw her trying to defend herself, he couldn't help but blush and said softly: "So you embroidered two ducks specifically for me. I'm so touched."
"Yes, every stitch is my intention." Lina also lowered her head shyly.
"But why duck?"
"The duck is so cute, don't you like it?"
"No, of course I do, I like ducks very much!" Werther thought again, "However, such a cloth bag will obviously not be regarded as garbage by others."
"That's right. I wonder who cleaned the outside of your room just now."
At this time, Wile suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen, his eyes still narrowed, and said loudly: "Just now, when your highness was in the room, I saw Kara going upstairs with a broom."
"Huh? It's not her again, is it? She's so blatant!"
"Forget it, Werther, you already know what's on the note anyway. Let's forget about it. Let's leave for the town quickly, otherwise it will be dusk again."
"Okay then, let's forget about it for now."
Werther went out to prepare the carriage and set off with Lina.
After they left the castle, Kara walked out of the warehouse feeling indignant. She thought she was many times better than Lina and had no reason not to be liked by the lord, so she was extremely upset.
"Hmph, Lina can't compare to me in appearance or character, and she's stupid enough. Why can she always be with the lord, but I'm not loved by him?"
"I have never seen you so shameless. You are too arrogant." Suddenly, Laura's voice came.
She turned her head angrily, strode towards Laura, pointed her finger at the bridge of her nose, and cursed angrily: "You ugly monster, you have to cover your face because you are so ugly, how dare you talk to me like this?
"
"Hehehe~" Laura laughed so hard that she almost couldn't straighten up. "I covered my face to prevent my original owner from recognizing me, and to save my life. As for my appearance, although I'm not much prettier than you, at least I
I will not look down on others, nor will I frame others out of jealousy."
"It's really ridiculous. She is an ugly and vulgar vampire. What is there for me to be jealous of? It's obvious that she is extremely jealous of me and feels she can't compare to me, so she tries her best to act coquettishly in front of the lord to win his favor.
The lord was fooled by her and didn't realize it. It's so pitiful." After Carla finished speaking, she sighed, as if she was wronged.
"Oh, my God, you actually said she was ugly and vulgar, haha, you are really blinded by jealousy." Laura had already sat on the broken wall outside the castle, laughing so hard that her arms and legs
The legs kept kicking back and forth.
"I already told you that I'm not jealous, Lina is just jealous of me!" Carla defended with a red face.
"Stop dreaming, why should she be jealous of you, unless everything is reversed." Laura continued, "Speaking of which, do you like our lord that much?"
"Of course, his brown eyes are like gems, and he is very good at swordsmanship and riding, and he has a smart mind. The most important thing is that he comes from a royal family. All of these are excellent.
Wait, how can I not be moved? When I think of him, my heart is filled with excitement and I want him to marry me as the lord's wife as soon as possible."
"Don't think about it in the next life." Laura spread her hands and looked at her with innocent eyes, "Anyway, you are not the type that the lord likes. I advise you to find someone who likes you. I
I really want to persuade you."
"Get out of here and go raise your cows!" Kara pushed Laura, her eyes filled with disgust.
