Chapter 16 - [It takes a few steps to black my father]
It had been sunny for several days, and the ground was dry and stuffy. It hadn’t been two days before spring and summer came suddenly.
On such a sultry day, all the windows in the bedroom were closed, and even the curtains were drawn. Only a few large ice bricks from the cellar were placed in the room to cool down.
The doctor was very old, sweating all over, and after treating the earl, he left the room and stood at the door, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
“How is he, father?” Hill was pushed out of the bedroom by David and asked the doctor with concern outside the door.
David is also waiting for the doctor’s reply. This is already the sixth day after Lord Earl was seriously injured. He has been waking up intermittently these days, but…the condition is not very good. He only wakes up for a while, and he still has hallucinations.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head, “The Earl’s injury is fine. The wife has taken good care of the wound these days. The wound has not deteriorated and is gradually healing, but…” He glanced at the earl who had fallen asleep in the room again. And the countess who was sitting sluggish by his bed, asked Hill in a low voice, “Master Hill, the countess wakes up in the past two days, do you have hallucinations every time?”
Hill nodded, “Yes, doctor, when my father wakes up, he will always say that he sees a woman in green clothes sitting under the window, calling her Ava… My father seems to be afraid of her, so he will shout loudly and shoot her. Ever since I put the gun away, my father would grab something beside the bed and smash it… My father was not allowed to open the window. He always said that it was thundering and raining outside…”
He watched the doctor’s face, and the doctor’s face was getting worse and worse.
“That’s the deceased lady.” David sighed frowningly. “After the lady’s death, the master is not allowed to mention the lady again. Maybe it is because of the master’s heart disease? It will be fine in a few days?”
The doctor wiped his sweat and shook his head: “The Lord Earl’s mental condition is very bad. You heard it just now. I asked the Lord Earl how he was injured. The baby shot to kill him…”
Hill’s eyelids twitched, and he said heavily: “My father took me as that Mrs. Ava the other day and shot me…Doctor, will my father get better?”
The doctor looked at Hill apologetically and said, “Excuse me for not being able to give you an accurate answer, Master Hill. Lord Earl is in this situation…very bad. He has hallucinations and is attacking. I am not an expert in this field. I can’t give a treatment. I suggest that a professional doctor with mental illness come to treat the Lord Earl. Maybe you can get help.”
The four words mental illness made David’s face pale as gray.
“Mental illness? You mean father…” Hill said fiercely, “How could father suffer from mental illness! That’s a disease that only a madman can get!”
“I’m sorry, Master Hill.” The doctor said helplessly, “I have tried my best. Maybe I can find the godfather to take a look at the Lord Earl. Maybe the Lord Earl can get some comfort and will never see the deceased again. people.”
David stood silently.
The earl in the room woke up suddenly, muttering: “Ava…Ava…”
The young countess hurriedly shook his hand and gently lowered her head to comfort him: “What did you say? Have you hallucinated again?”
He opened his eyes, saw Qiao Sha, turned his head and looked under the window, and spoke tired and weak: “Last night… Ava was sitting there, did you… didn’t you see? She always sits there… Every night… She wants Find me revenge…”
“No.” A heartache appeared on the countess’s delicate face, she clasped the earl’s hand tightly, “I’m the only one with you these days, are you dreaming? Ava is your beloved dead wife, How could she seek revenge from you?”
The earl looked at her blankly, dreaming? He can’t tell what a dream is and what is reality. Maybe it’s in a dream at this moment. He dreamed that Hill shot at him, dreamed that Ava came to haunt him to avenge…
It’s a dream, Ava can’t appear, just like Hill can’t shoot him…
He personally confirmed that Ava died…
Qiao Sha, who clasped his hand tightly, cried softly, and said to him pleadingly: “I closed the windows and all the lights were turned on. I will guard you. No one can hurt you… Please don’t scare me, hurry up. Okay, I will listen to you…”
Hot tears fell on the back of his hand. He grasped her hand and felt the real touch. This was the only thing he felt real, and the only thing he could grasp now.
He looked at Qiao Sha, the dizzy feeling gave him a strange feeling of fascination. With her delicate face and tearful eyes, he dreamed of the little lamb brought back from the slave house, betraying him, and seduce his son…
But these days, she is the only one who guards him, takes care of him, and takes the trouble to comfort him.
It’s a dream, how dare she betray him, she has always been docile and obedient, and has long been tamed by him.
He was so thirsty that he just moved his lips and said “water”.
The obedient little lamb immediately poured the water. He heard the sound of water pouring into the teacup. She brought it to his mouth carefully and fed it to him while saying: “It’s not too hot, you can taste it.”
He opened his mouth and drank empty, the tea cup was empty without a drop of water.
He stared at the empty teacup blankly, confirming again and again.
But Qiao Sha holding the tea cup eagerly waited for him to drink, and asked carefully: “Why don’t you drink it?”
The maid also came over and put a veil on his lap, “Be careful to wet your clothes.”
Is there any water in the cup?
Everyone saw that there was water in it, but did he not see the water in the cup?
He opened his mouth blankly, and drank again.
“Is it hot?” Qiao Sha asked him thoughtfully.
The only thing in his mind was sober, and he became dizzy. Is there any water in the cup? Is there water? have water…
Is he really… mad?
Terrible.
101 began to feel that when the host had subdued npc Luna, was it a foreshadowing reserved for today, a seamless accomplice.
It is superficial.
——
Luna is her friend, she needs friends.
Qiao Sha was on the sofa under the window, resting Luna’s legs on her side, closing her eyes relaxedly, allowing Luna to stroke her hair and fan her.
She fell asleep slowly and comfortably.
Luna’s fingers have thin calluses. In her eyes, Luna is not an npc. Luna is a living person. She is a little girl who is afraid and can pluck up courage. She is good to Luna and Luna will be good to her. .
The window opened a slit, and the wind blew in.
She took a very comfortable nap. When she woke up, David came to report that a distinguished guest came to look for her and waited for her in the living room for a while.
It’s Shelley, the captain of the guard.
The handsome blond knight appeared in Qiao Sha’s mind. He came to look for her?
David said: “Mr. Shelley learned that you were taking a nap, so he waited for a while in the living room and said that he didn’t want to disturb your dreams.”
This is a real gentleman, or a handsome gentleman.
She changed her clothes and went downstairs. Sure enough, she saw Shelley in the living room. He was still wearing the uniform of the chief guard, sitting on the sofa and flipping through a book.
“You should wake me up.” Qiao Sha walked over and saluted him, “I won’t be angry if you wake me up.”
Shelley looked up at her, closed the book with a smile, got up to return to her, “Long time no see, ma’am.” What she wore today was very different from before.
She wore a very simple long-sleeved dress, the color of withered red roses, a square collar, a thin satin material, and the skirt fell on her ankles, drawing her curves as she walked.
He remembered that when he saw her for the first time, she was wearing a white lace dress, like a doll that was well-dressed and restrained.
Today, she is like a wild rose in bud, delicate and charming.
“Let me guess, is it Miss Beth, ask you to come to me?” Qiao Sha asked him with a smile. She remembered that Shelley seemed to be the second man, loyally admiring the princess’s bitter knight, and he would never treat her. Love at first sight, and came to look for her again.
Shelley also smiled, “You are so clever, you must be right.” He gave her a golden letter with both hands, “This is the princess’s order that I personally send it to you.”
Qiao Sha received it in her hand, the heavy golden letter, which was sealed with fire lacquer, and the golden royal emblem was branded on the fire lacquer.
Open it, there is an invitation letter, an invitation letter for the princess adult ceremony ball.
Qiao Sha looked at the invitation letter, and her name was written solemnly [Qiao Sha], with the word [贵宾] in front of it.
The cool ice cubes in the parlor melted and made a dripping sound.
Qiao Sha remembered that in the original text of the novel, this famous dance party, the meeting between the male lead and the female lead, and the climax scene of the male lead attacking the face, in fact, the original lead Qiao Sha was not among the invited, the one being invited was Earl Fu Ya and Hill, even Surya was not invited at first.
Because the count claimed that Surya was ill.
And Earl Fu Ya didn’t plan to take this slave little wife to attend such an important royal ball.
It was the original owner who performed well in those few days and won the earl’s favor, and the earl rewarded her and brought her to attend.
The original owner was carefully dressed up by the count and went to the ball together as the countess. At that time, the original owner seemed to have received a huge reward.
The ball is either a royal or a nobleman. She is just a beautiful plaything from a slave. No one cares about her and dances with her.
She sat alone in the corner, without even being asked about her name. Her title was [the new lady of the earl], and when she was talked about it was [oh, that lamb slave…]
Now, the princess officially uses her name [Qiao Sha] to invite her to the ball.
She is very happy.
“The princess has another letter for you.” Shelley took out another light green letterhead and handed it to Qiao Sha. “The princess hopes that if you are free, she will reply to her. She will be very happy.”
On the light green letterhead, it was solemnly sealed with red fire paint, and there was a light perfume smell on it.
Qiao Sha smiled, the letter felt thick, and the lovely little princess must be boring and lonely in the palace.
“Can you wait?” She raised her head and asked Shelley, “I will read it now, and then I will reply to the princess. Can you wait and take the letter back to the princess? I don’t want her to wait for my reply.”
Shelley frowned and smiled, “Of course.” He likes a straightforward person like Mrs. Qiao Sha.
Qiao Sha directly sat on the sofa and opened the letter. Most of the letters contained boring thoughts from the little girl, saying that she had no more terrible dreams after returning to the palace, and asked Qiao Sha whether she had done well.
She also said that she heard that Surya went to the seminary, and also heard that Surya went directly to the Temple of Light to study.
Qiao Sha didn’t know much about the setting of this academy, so she asked Shelley.
Shelley probably guessed that it was the princess who mentioned Surya in the letter, her eyes were light, and she patiently told Qiao Sha that the Royal Seminary’s classes were divided into six levels.
Probably it is an ordinary elementary class. Those who have just entered the elementary class will be assessed once a year and promoted to a higher class.
Only the theologians who really have [Divine Power] can enter, the highest level 5 and 6, and the top level is [Light Palace]. Those who can enter [Light Palace] are the top theologians, who can channel spirits, prophesy, and possess Divine power like a divine messenger.
At present, only five people have entered [Guangming Hall] to receive the personal teaching and training of the godfather and your majesty.
Surya was the exception among the exceptions. He was like a miracle. Within a week of enrollment, he skipped the ordinary classes one after another and went straight to the [Light Palace].
“Suria broke all the records of the academy. He is now the man in the academy.” Shelley said with a helpless smile: “The godfather said that he will become a miracle of the empire.”
Qiao Sha is not surprised, the routine operation, he is more than [have the divine power of the divine messenger], he is the original **** of the holy **** of light.
Shelley also said that His Majesty personally invited Surya to the ball.
Qiao Sha also saw that the princess wrote in the letter that her father wanted her first dance to dance with Surya, but she was worried that Surya would reject her.
Because Surya was confessed at the academy and was confessed by the Duke’s daughter Lilith.
The letter wrote: [Lilith is also a very powerful theologian, she is very beautiful, maybe I say that you don’t understand, Lilith is beautiful like a red rose, everyone will like her when she sees her, but Surya rejected her Confession.
Qiao Sha, Surya doesn’t even like Lilith, he will definitely reject me as well, I’m so ordinary. ]
Oh my God, this lovely little princess didn’t even realize that she has the beauty of being a heroine!
Qiao Sha looked at the letter and couldn’t help but smile, and asked Shelley: “Who do you want the princess to dance with in her first dance?”
Shelley paused. There was a certain emotion in his eyes, but he just smiled and said, “I hope the princess can do what she wants. If the princess wants to dance the first dance with Surya, then I hope Surya Don’t reject her.”
Oh, this second man is so gentle.
When Qiao Sha saw the last paragraph of the letter, Beth said that she wanted to go to the seminary to see Surya in person. Maybe she could ask in advance if she could invite Surya to dance so that she would not be rejected by the public. But she didn’t know what reason to go.
Qiao Sha thought for a while, folded the letter, and started to reply to the princess. While writing, she said to Shelley: “In a few days, I will go to the seminary to visit my stepson Surya. Can you bring the princess over? “
Shelley was stunned.
Qiao Sha raised her eyes to look at him and smiled at him: “I want to invite the princess to accompany me.”
Shelley understood, did the princess write in the letter, she wanted to see Surya at the seminary?
——-
In the seminary.
Surya received a letter from David. He stood under the laurel tree and opened the letter. It stated that his father had a mental problem and shot himself in the dark room.
Surya frowned as he watched the detailed passage, and David wrote politely—the dark room in the master’s bedroom, where Mrs. Qiao Sha would usually be imprisoned. That night, he and Mrs. Qiao Sha were shot and wounded in the dark room. Own…
A face appeared in my heart, a tearful face, a trembling face… Qiao Sha’s face.
The dark room used to detain her, what did his father do to her?
“Suria.” Someone called to see him.
He raised his eyes to see Lilith walking towards him.
Lilith stopped a few steps away from him, looked into his eyes, frowned and said in surprise: “Surya, are you thinking of a woman?”
She saw the shadow of a woman from his eyes. This was the [divine power] she possessed. Through the eyes of this person, she could see who he was thinking about at the moment. Although this ability was very short-lived, it could only be Seen when this person is emotional.
But she saw that Surya was thinking of a woman at the moment.
Who is that? Will Surya, who is aloft, have a woman he likes?
She wanted to take a step forward. Surya turned her head sideways. He stretched out his hand to support the laurel tree behind him. The golden flowers on the tree suddenly fell, and the snow fell on her side, blocking her sight.
When Surya was in the falling golden flowers and snow, and then looked back at her, the gray eyes were calm as usual, and there was no emotion.
