Chapter 218 Brother Xia, I’m sorry for you
The cool moonlight spread across the huge women's bedroom, illuminating every detail of the soft and gorgeous carpet.
At this moment, under the small and exquisite stockings, a black-haired boy closed his eyes and passed out in front of Sirena in an extremely peaceful manner.
It can be seen from his dusty and embarrassed appearance that this guy must have been having a bad time recently. His face is pale and there is an extremely obvious bruise on his forehead.
Compared to the evil maniac who was wanted by the whole city, the young man in front of him seemed more like a thief who made a mistake.
Perhaps due to his overly handsome appearance and his quiet and peaceful temperament at the moment, he looked completely unthreatening.
But Sirena is not the kind of superficial woman who is limited by her appearance.
After recognizing his identity, she subconsciously took two steps back and stared at the young man in front of her as if facing an enemy.
Why him? !
Sirena's heartbeat quickened slightly.
At the moment, the entire Glostin is chasing the young man in front of him, but he appears in his room inexplicably.
Is it a coincidence?
Or.
Recalling what her father had told her that night, she fell silent for a moment.
As the eldest princess, she subconsciously wanted to tie him up and send him to Elocht Palace. After all, this was the person Saint Laurent VI wanted. If she could catch him before the major forces, it would be considered a great achievement. , and can also take advantage of the situation to block the mouths of those nobles.
Thinking of this, Sirena looked solemn and lightly kicked his chin with her toes.
After repeatedly confirming that he had lost the ability to move, he leaned over slightly and tested his breathing.
Apparently, he bumped into the corner of the table while sneaking into her room, causing him to fall into coma.
I just didn't expect that the murderous maniac who had played tricks on the entire imperial capital would be arrested in such a ridiculous way. It was really hilarious.
Sirena pursed her lips.
But looking at it this way, he probably didn't flee here aimlessly, but had a clear purpose.
Looking for me?
Do you think I seem kind-hearted and would choose to lend a helping hand to him at this time?
Sirena felt a little ridiculous.
Although her usual attitude is full of compassion and tolerance, Sirena, who has a clear distinction between good and evil, will not have the slightest mercy towards the villain who killed her brother Joshua.
Thinking like this, the maids nervously asked from outside the door: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Perhaps they heard her exclamation just now, which caused the maids waiting nearby to gather over in unison.
"I'm fine, hurry up"
She wanted to say, "Come here and tie this guy up quickly," but before she could finish her words, the unconscious young man's lips suddenly moved for a while.
Then there was a faint murmur in Sirena's ears.
"I will definitely save you"
Sirena was stunned.
Who do you mean by this?
Is it the third princess Ivester to whom he is loyal, or someone else?
Also, he is obviously a murderer who committed serial murders. Why are the words that come out of his mouth so soft?
Such a heinous guy should be more cold-blooded and ruthless.
Words like "rescue" are completely irrelevant and do not fit the character at all.
As early as the first time they met in the jump matrix, she had an insight into the troublesome nature of the young man in front of her.
Sure enough.
The cases that followed in the next few weeks all revolved around him, which showed that Sirlina's judgment was not wrong.
But now she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
At the same time, the situation that night emerged subconsciously in my mind.
To this day, she still occasionally recalls the time when he used unpredictable means to erase the riots of extraordinary power like a magician.
This action indirectly saved fifteen innocent lives.
Is it unintentional or has good intentions?
If it's the former, there's not much to say.
But what if it’s the latter?
After all, from the beginning to the end, Sirena had a vague feeling that there was a dark curtain hanging over Glostin.
Although everyone said that Lynn Bartelion was the culprit in the case of limb replacement, there was no doubt that it was a report given by the Imperial Council, the Mosgra family and other forces. If you believed it to be true, you would be a complete fool.
Regardless of time or distance, the young man in front of him had no chance of committing a crime.
Unless he has mastered the means of leaping beyond the military headquarters and can travel back and forth between Orn City and Glostin instantly without any hindrance.
But that's not realistic.
What's more, according to the confessions of the surviving nuns of the Church of Silence, the boy in front of him not only prevented a demon from coming, but was also taken away by Tia, causing an unprecedented oolong.
I had been busy dealing with the Mausoleum of Herremus before and had never analyzed this case in detail.
Looking back now, everything is really full of doubts.
If you think about it carefully, it is also very concerning that his father repeatedly asked to "save his life."
It seemed that he couldn't be handed over so easily.
At the very least, she had to wait until she figured out all the truth.
"Your Highness? Are we coming in?"
The maid outside the door was still worried, and then there was the sound of the handle turning.
Sirena came back to her senses instantly and stared at the black-haired boy who was unconscious on the ground: "No, just stay outside."
"Nothing happened here."
Tia didn't know what kind of expression and state of mind she had when she returned to the church.
Along the way, she ignored all the nuns who greeted her, and returned to her room accompanied by Louise.
Maybe, I'm wrong.
Instead of telling her the truth, it would be better to make up a complete lie and deceive her with the cruel truth.
Louise looked at Tia with a worried expression and sighed slightly.
Then a trace of resentment towards Linn emerged in his heart.
Although it is a bit excessive to say this, why must it be done to this extent?
How can any woman remain normal to you when she sees you like this?
"I'm going back first, Tia. The Moonlight Sacred Ceremony is in two days. You should adjust your mentality."
Louise, who was standing at the door, warned softly.
Although there is no doubt about the importance of the Moonlight Scripture, she actually hopes that her best friend can get rid of her depression quickly.
Seeing her lowering her head and saying nothing, Louise didn't know what to say. She just touched her little face gently, and then prepared to turn around and leave.
"Moonlight Scripture. Is it really that important?"
Before he had taken a few steps, a voice as quiet as a mosquito suddenly came from behind him.
Louise's steps stopped instantly.
She took a deep breath, looked around nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one in the monastery.
Then she looked at Tia seriously.
This was the first time in all the time I had known her that I heard words questioning the church from her mouth.
"I won't talk about this matter to anyone, Tia." Louise said seriously, "You must be too tired, so you are thinking wildly. Go back to bed and sleep."
"Sorry, Louise."
Realizing that she had just lost her composure, Tia took a deep breath, and then forced out a smile with great reluctance.
After watching her friend leave, she slowly closed the door and leaned against the door panel, as if she was trying to unload all the weight from her body: the responsibilities of the saint, the countless emotions in her heart, and the confusion about the future.
With a faint sound, Tiya's back slowly slid down from the door panel, and then she sat in the entrance hall, gently hugging her knees and burying her little face in it.
"Why?" After a long silence, she suddenly said softly.
It was like she was asking some annoying guy who wasn't around, and it was also like she was asking herself.
If you recall carefully, due to the conflict of positions, even during the days of escape, the two of them did not seem to sit down face to face and have a good communication.
The only time there was any sign of this kind of behavior was during breakfast that day, when he asked about things related to the Moonlight Scripture as if he was concerned about himself.
However, she coldly rejected him.
Now that I think about it, I regret it very much.
Because from the beginning to the end, Tiya didn't know what Lin En wanted to do.
It was obvious that the relationship between the two had shown signs of improvement, that he would be able to be sent out of Glostin unharmed in the near future, and that all he had to do was continue to maintain those lies.
Even if you don't say it out loud, it doesn't matter at all.
Let her live in this illusion until the day they part ways.
However, he did not choose to do this, cruelly and indifferently tearing apart the illusion surrounding her.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
I thought I could see his true face and draw a clear line between him and even turn against him in the future.
But in the end, he silently took all the blame.
If Louise hadn't told her, she might have been deceived by the church all her life.
What on earth was he thinking?
Tia didn't know.
Because it is difficult for people to understand each other.
But there is one thing she cares about.
The question she asked Louise before leaving just now was actually Tia's inner confusion.
The guy who had saved her several times was still being persecuted by the nobles and parliament. Even the people were deceived and made him into the villain he was accused of and nailed to the pillar of shame.
She didn't know what others were thinking.
But the teachings she had received since childhood told her that she could not remain indifferent to this.
But the Silent Church, the only one who knew the truth about that night, never thought of clarifying it for him. They just allowed the Imperial Council and many nobles to wantonly smear the boy.
This made Tiya doubt the world view and outlook on life that she had always adhered to.
In the end, what to do?
Tiya just kept leaning against the door, sitting from dusk until late at night, without moving at all.
Her mind was in a mess, and she had some impulses deep in her heart, but she could never put them into practice.
"Dong dong dong——"
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door behind him.
This made Tiya barely recover from the confusion and struggle, and subconsciously raised her head.
"Tiya, it's me."
Then, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
Brother Sia? !
Tia panicked subconsciously, stood up carefully, and then held her breath, trying not to make any sound, and eavesdropped on the movement outside the house without moving.
She never expected that the other party would come to her door at this time.
In the past, I had been filling my schedule with all kinds of things to numb myself and not think about where the relationship with brother Sia would go.
But now, the other party's initiative has put this issue on the table.
Tell the truth.
Ever since that night when she used her hands to help Linn vent his desire, Tia no longer thought that she was worthy of Sia.
In the Saint Laurent Empire, which has relatively conservative folk customs, once you swear your feelings, you must be loyal to each other for life and never betray.
This point is also mentioned in the teachings of the Moon Goddess.
For Tia, she has already violated these commandments and promises by losing her virginity.
So when she faced Sia again, she actually felt a little guilty.
"Tiya, my hearing is very good, so I know you are in the room. Maybe you don't want to see me now, but it doesn't matter. You don't need to open the door. I will say a few words and leave."
Sia said this while standing at the door.
"."
Normally, Tia might have opened the door and welcomed Sia in.
But at this moment, she just pursed her lips, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she had no intention of opening the door.
After a moment, Sia began to speak.
"You must have been scared these days after being kidnapped by that damn beast, right? I'm sorry that I didn't rush over in time, which caused these subsequent things to happen."
He is not a damn beast, and I am not afraid. For some reason, Tia subconsciously retorted in her heart.
However, Sia didn't know her inner thoughts and said to herself: "No matter what, I promise you that within three days at most, I will arrest him with my own hands and hang him on the gallows. You take revenge.”
Why is even Brother Xia so sure that he is the murderer?
Don’t you even have the most basic ability to distinguish right from wrong? !
Or maybe you just want to blame everything on him?
Recalling the official supernatural beings who died in the fire, it was obvious that there was a pair of big hands behind the scenes that were trying to erase the traces of Burl Human and completely equate the limb recipients with Lynn Bartleon.
An unreasonable anger arose spontaneously, causing Tiya to subconsciously clenched her pink fists.
But she was not ready to talk to Sia face to face.
In this situation, I can only remain silent.
It was clear that there was a door between the two of them, but there was still no intention of opening the door in front of her, which made Sia subconsciously clenched her fists.
In fact, he had already lost his mind due to anger many times before he came here.
In the end, Sirena issued an order as a superior, prohibiting him from visiting Tiya before the Moonlight Holy Ceremony.
But he finally came over.
He thought he had adjusted his mentality and suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, such as "What happened to them during the missing days", but until he heard Tia's slightly accelerated heartbeat, all kinds of emotions suddenly came to his mind.
Doubt, frustration, distress, anger, sadness.
He clenched his fists and tried to sound as gentle as ever.
"Tiya, do you still remember the agreement we made before?"
Agreement?
Tiya was a little stunned. After standing still for a few seconds, she suddenly came to her senses.
He was talking about the agreement after the Moonlight Sacred Scripture.
She had promised him that after asking the goddess to lift the curse on her body, she would dedicate her most precious things to him as proof of their love.
After realizing this, a bone-chilling chill suddenly swept through his body.
how so?
Am I feeling sick because of Brother Siya’s request?
Tiya bit her lower lip tightly, and her whole body became a little numb.
If Tia was overcoming the male disgust caused by the curse to love him before, then now, as this halo is broken, the girl's truest reaction is revealed.
Either blame it all on the curse, or maybe it was actually disappointment in Shia.
No matter how you dress it up, disgust is disgust.
Tia was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
Sia, who was standing outside the door, then heard a familiar soft voice.
A hint of joy just appeared on his face.
But after hearing that sentence clearly, the whole person froze on the spot, and his face became stiff.
"Brother Xia, I'm sorry for you, but I'd better not mention it again in the future."
