Kara wiped her tears, saluted Werther, and then whispered: "Your Highness, I will do a good job. I will go and see the fire in the furnace now."
"After reading this, remember to re-wash and dry the clothes you soiled." Tom ordered.
"I know." Kara walked away dejectedly.
Most of the others dispersed, either waiting for dinner or carrying the food and tableware for dinner. Kath helped Bonnie slowly walk towards the room.
Werther couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Bonnie looking so sick, and asked Ivan in a low voice: "Have you ever diagnosed and treated her? What disease does she have?"
Ivan also whispered: "I diagnosed and treated her many days ago. It is a heart disease. She is too sick and weak because of sadness."
"Do you know what caused her to be like this?"
"I tried asking, but she never wanted to tell anyone."
"But holding it in all the time is not a solution. Her health will get worse and worse if this goes on." Witte said, "I will try to ask. After I know the reason, I can help her."
"That's right. Your Highness, you are the lord, so you may be able to help her. She may tell you if she faces you."
Werther quickly took a few steps forward and rushed to Bonnie's side. He couldn't help but ask: "Hi, Bonnie, have you encountered any difficulties recently? If so, maybe I can help you?"
Bonnie looked back slightly, her eyes were sad, and her lips were trembling. Her look was completely different from half a month ago. It was like she was a different person, and after asking herself, it was obvious that she was even more emotionally broken.
, which shocked him.
"Your Highness, I have actually wanted to explain my current situation to you and ask for your help for a long time, but I don't know where to start, and I am even more afraid of arousing your disgust." Bonnie's eyes drooped slightly, and her voice was extremely sad, "
If you really want to help me, I'd be happy."
"You are a servant of the castle. When something goes wrong, I will definitely not stand by and watch." Werther smiled gently, "Sit on the sofa first and tell me what happened."
"It started many days ago." She sat on the sofa and lowered her head, "I went home once."
As she spoke, she began to cry softly, her voice desolate and heartbreaking.
Werther and others were at a loss for a moment. Kath kept patting her shoulders, and Lina handed her a handkerchief.
After a while, Werther asked: "Did something happen to your family?"
She shook her head, nodded again, wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief desperately, sobbed for half a minute, and then said: "It is also a matter of my family. My fiancé's family and mine are neighbors. I went to his house to visit his parents.
Tell me, my fiancé has been missing for a long time. Wuwuwu~"
Only then did they know what Bonnie's inner demon was, and it turned out to be the matter of her fiancé.
"Then when did he disappear?" Werther asked, "How long?"
"His family has not received a letter from him for half a year. The last time I received a letter from him was half a year ago." Bonnie sighed, "He used to work as a long-term worker in Duck City and would give me a letter every month.
When sending letters, he would also send one to his home, which is his habit."
"Then what?" Werther asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, I didn't receive a letter from him for a whole month. Even if I sent him a letter, I couldn't receive a reply from him in the end, so I asked my family if they
They lied to me and said that because my fiancé was too busy, he wrote a letter to me and a letter to his family on a piece of paper and sent it directly to his home. The part about me in the letter was just to ask questions about me.
Case.
In fact, my family is lying to me because they are afraid that I will worry too much."
"So you believed it then?"
"Yes, I was very stupid at the time, Your Highness." Bonnie said with a bitter smile, "I obviously sent a letter but he didn't reply. This can prove the fact that he has disappeared. However, I actually believed my family at that time.
That lie was easy to expose. In fact, I really hated what my family did at that time, even though I knew they were thinking about me."
"Then, when did you start to doubt it?"
"After a long time, I still became suspicious. The last time I went home, about half a month ago, I went to my fiancé's house and asked his parents, and then I found out that he had been missing for half a year. Only then did I know
"It turns out that my family has been hiding it from me. I really deserve to die. I didn't even know that my fiancé had been missing for so long, and I couldn't think of a way to find him."
Bonnie couldn't help crying again. She wet her tears with her handkerchief: "You don't know how much I miss my fiancé, his eyebrows, his smile, his tone. Whenever I think of these, I miss him."
I can't sleep at night. I really want to know where he is and whether he is living well. It's so cold in winter, and I don't know if he has enough clothes or if there is a heater around him."
Werther frowned, thought for a while, and decided to help her.
"I can find someone to help you draw a portrait of your fiancé, and put up notices everywhere, saying that if any clues about this person are found, a reward will be given. I believe that people who have seen him will definitely provide clues."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Bonnie stood up and bowed to Werther again, "You are such a good lord. This gives me some hope. I really don't know how to thank you."
"There is no need to be particularly grateful. As long as we can find your fiancé, we will all be happy. Without further ado, why not let Wile find a painter now." He turned to Wile who was not far away and said loudly, "Tomorrow, we will
The best painters from several nearby towns were hired."
"Your Highness, we are running out of many gold coins." Wile said quietly, "You are unwilling to sell those jewels. The remaining gold coins may not be enough to paint ten portraits. You know, it is very expensive to find a painter in Notland.
of."
"That's it~" Werther lowered his head slightly and thought, "Then we can ask the painter to draw only one portrait, and then we cover the portrait with paper and trace it according to the way he drew it."
"Your Highness's idea is good." Wile thought for a while and said, "But I don't know where there are painters in Daybreak Town."
"There shouldn't be any painters in Daybreak Town. You have to go to Nightstone Town and have a look. There may be more powerful painters there." Tom walked over and said.
"Okay, I'll leave for Nightstone tomorrow." Wile smiled at Werther and Tom, then quickly ran to the servant's table and started to feast.
"In that case, let's all go have dinner." Werther said to everyone, and then looked at Bonnie gently, "Cheer up and eat your fill first no matter what."
Bonnie nodded with a smile and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, you are really kind to your servants. It is really an honor for me to be a maid here."
"It's nothing~" Werther smiled sheepishly.
"However, I was still weak and had no choice but to go back to my room and eat," she said.
"Your Highness, I can
Can you dine with her in her room?" Cath asked, "Looking at how frail she is, I'm really worried that she won't be able to take care of herself."
"Of course it's no problem, just bring your own food in."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Kath quickly brought their food into the room, and then helped Bonnie slowly walk in.
Werther also sat at the dining table and couldn't help but sigh: "It's such a bizarre thing that he disappeared for half a year."
Margery, who was sitting far across from her, shouted loudly: "Brother Werther, what are you talking about?"
Werther couldn't help but narrow his eyes and muttered: "I was just talking to myself."
"What, you said you were talking to yourself?" Margaery continued to shout loudly, "Then what exactly are you talking to yourself about? Can you let me know?"
"Hey!" Werther also shouted loudly, "If you want to listen to what I am talking to myself, why are you sitting so far away?"
"That's what makes it interesting, brother Werther!"
"It's tiring to talk like this. If you want to hear what I have to say, you might as well sit near me!"
"I don't want to. Please tell me, what exactly did you say just now? After you tell me, I will move to the original position."
The shouts of the two echoed in the dining room, and Werther couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he held his forehead helplessly, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."
Then, he folded his hands and put them to his mouth, and said loudly: "I was feeling emotional about Bonnie's fiancé at first."
"So that's it, I almost thought you were secretly speaking ill of me!"
"I don't have time to say bad things about you. It's so boring." Werther closed his eyes gently and drank coffee leisurely.
But as soon as the coffee entered his mouth, he felt a strange smell and hurriedly spit it out.
"Hmm, what does this smell like?" He took away the cup in confusion, stirred it with a fork, and found chopped garlic. "Ah, no one puts garlic in coffee. The two flavors are very mixed together.
How strange! Who put it there!"
Margaery kept laughing on the other end. He couldn't help but look at her and asked coldly: "Could it be you who set it off?"
"That's right, it's me!" Margaery stood up with a smile, sat down next to him with a plate, and continued to look at his weird expression with pride.
"Why did you do this?" Werther was not angry, but just confused: "Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"Yes!" Margaery folded her arms across her chest and looked at Werther angrily, "I really can't believe that you would allow someone like Carla to continue to stay in the castle. I felt very angry and wanted to tease you.
"
"There is indeed a shortage of manpower in the castle now." Witte said, "And as long as Tom watches her often, she will still clean it seriously."
"Listen, Brother Werther, Kara doesn't really care about you, she just cares about herself. She is a terrible person and will not repent because of your understanding. She took you for her own ideas this time
cloth bag, if you don’t punish her severely, then next time, she will definitely take your things again, even more important things."
"Why are you so sure she is this kind of person?" Werther asked, "Why do you think she would take something more important from me instead of repenting because of my forgiveness?"
"Because of my intuition." Margery's expression was very serious.
