Chapter 518
Amid the growing snowflakes, she raised her head and shouted sadly at the unfair sky:
"No - Liya -"
There seemed to be another inexplicable song coming from nowhere, echoing the tragic sound that seemed to come from the end of the world.
But there was no one around.
Only the faint light on Ariel's ring flickered, and a misty shadow rose. The power of the soul lifted a thick coat and placed it on Ariel, who was wearing a thin dress.
Teacher Ariel sighed softly, hesitated for a while, and then comforted:
"Don't be too sad. There is no grass anywhere in the world. Why bother..."
"wrong."
Ariel seemed not to have heard the teacher's words. She lowered her head, dug her fingers into the floor, and murmured in a low voice:
"wrong!"
"What?"
"Why should I run? I haven't asked clearly yet, Liya... Liya... maybe she is lying to me!"
"???"
"Isn't that what those tauren stories say? The poor girl was caught by the bad guys and coerced. She had no choice but to commit herself and tell hurtful lies to her true lover!"
The more Ariel thought about it, the more likely this conjecture became, otherwise...
"Otherwise, my ten years of subtle interaction can't compare to the mere month of getting along with him, Moon Campbell? What did Moon Campbell do? Could it be that he killed and set fire for Liya?"
teacher: "……"
Although I don’t know what’s wrong, it feels like... it makes sense somehow.
"No, I have to go back, find a chance to be alone with Liya, and ask again!"
Ariel's eyes regained life, and she stood up abruptly, her previous embarrassing state gone.
She looked in the direction of the cathedral and murmured firmly:
"That's right, I love Ariel, the God of War, and I will never let any girl be coerced by bad guys!"
…
…
Ariel did what she said, and with amazing mobility, she quickly reached the outside of Liya's room.
In her opinion, the only place in the entire church where Her Royal Highness the Saint Liya can be alone is probably her room.
For some reason, there was no one watching along the way, and Ariel easily touched the door handle.
Taking a deep breath, Ariel pressed hard.
Crunch…
The door opened smoothly.
"It's not locked?"
Ariel's eyes were filled with joy as she glanced across the empty room.
Although Liya doesn't seem to be back yet, as long as she waits for her inside...
"Your Highness, are you back? I have given you the order to find Ariel, but I still ask you why..."
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the corner of the corridor, and at the same time, soft candlelight spread from there.
It's that great nun Lin!
Ariel's pupils shrank, and her heart almost jumped into her throat.
Judging from the few contacts she had in the past few days, the nun was definitely a rigid and serious figure. If she was discovered sneaking into the saint's room...
Thinking of that cold black prison, Ariel couldn't help but shudder.
No, I have to find a place to hide.
Ariel's eyes quickly scanned the entire room, including the wardrobe, curtains, desk... Finally, they landed on the brand new, extremely conspicuous big bed...
…
"Um?"
Lin opened Liya's door, only to find that there was no one inside.
"Strange, is it my imagination?"
After walking around and making sure that no one was around, Lin held her forehead and sighed in distress:
"It seems that the impact I have received during this period has been too great, and I am even a little confused. As a senior nun, this is not acceptable."
"It's better to go and rest early. Anyway, I can't care about what happens to Her Royal Highness the Saint and that bitch at night. As long as it doesn't affect your work during the day."
With that said, Lin walked out the door.
Silence returned to the room again.
Under the big bed, Ariel secretly lifted the unsightly sheets to make sure that Lin had left, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't find it. That's great. Fortunately, this bed is quite suitable for hiding people... huh?"
Ariel was suddenly startled and turned her head to look deep under the bed.
It's narrow, hidden, and dark, but judging from the height, it should be able to hide a big man.
That is to say...
"At that time, Moon Campbell was hiding under the bed?"
Ariel's eyes widened and she couldn't help but grit her teeth:
"Damn it, I noticed everything else at that time, but I didn't think about what was under the bed... Damn it, Moon Campbell, actually hid under the bed and eavesdropped on the conversation between the girls. It's so despicable! He really isn't a good guy!"
Ariel became more and more determined in her thoughts. It must have been Liya who knew that Mu En was under the bed, so she said those words against her will!
In other words, as long as I can find a chance to be alone with Liya, I will definitely be able to know her sincerity...
Crunch…
The door opened again.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Liya couldn't help but feel happy. Liya was finally back...
But the smile soon froze on his face.
Because besides Liya's footsteps, she also heard another, heavier footsteps.
"Didn't you expect that it would snow in spring?"
The familiar deep male voice made Ariel clenched her fists immediately.
Moon Campbell!
Why is he here too?
And why did he enter Leah's room so openly?
This is the room of the saint, does the church not care about it?
Complex thoughts rushed into her mind, but Ariel temporarily gave up the idea of going out. She twisted her body slightly and hid herself deeper under the bed.
This is also a good opportunity. Let me see how you coerce Leah, Moon Campbell!
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to snow."
Liya walked into the room and brushed off the snow on her clothes. It was a men's coat, obviously not her clothes.
"The Stargazing Temple said that the previous war affected the celestial phenomena. Snow is very rare in the Holy City. I hope Ariel doesn't get cold while running around."
"She's not a child. She's a fourth-level warrior. She doesn't need to cover herself with a blanket when sleeping in the snow. But speaking of snow... Did I not plan it well?"
Mu En touched his chin and reflected seriously: "If it's snowing, will it be more romantic..."
"Okay."
Liya hugged Mu En affectionately and rubbed his chest:
"It's romantic enough. If it's more romantic, I really won't want you to leave."
Mu En's eyes softened, and he put his arm around Liya's small waist and whispered:
"I'll explain to Ariel in person when I have a chance later."
"Explain what?"
"About us Everything started from the restaurant at the beginning. "
"Aren't you afraid that Ariel will chop you to death?"
Liya tilted her head and chuckled:
"Weren't you so scared before?"
"Yes, I was very scared."
Mu En smiled and replied:
"But I don't want you to lose anything because of me. Ariel's friendship is very important to you... and since I have made this choice, I have to bear the corresponding consequences. If I poach someone, I have to be prepared to be beaten with a hoe."
Mu En added in a barely audible voice:
"Anyway, it's not the first time I've fought against fate. Can I be more powerless than at the beginning?"
"Mu En."
In these words that are not love words, but more moving than love words, Liya looked at her lover with such deep affection.
The flame began to burn again.
Although there were a few small episodes, the emotions brewing in the beautiful atmosphere would not disappear.
And finally, it bloomed at this moment.
"I love you."
The clothes she was wearing slipped off, and Leah stood on tiptoe and gave her a sweet kiss.
"Yeah, I love you too."
...
Under the bed, Ariel's body trembled again.
No.
No.
No.
This is not what I want to hear.
Coercion, shouldn't Moon Campbell coerce Leah? Why, why does it sound like...
"Let's go to Ariel to explain tomorrow. Some words are just your words, and Ariel won't believe them."
Leah's voice came from the friction of messy clothes.
"Yeah."
"Also, Ariel seems to have some prejudice against you, I think she should know... ah... woo... bad."
"Yeah."
"What woo, woo, don't be bad, I'm talking!"
"Yeah."
"Woo... so itchy, bad guy... I won't explain it to you, you are a bad guy."
"Hehe."
After the "mask" was exposed, the bad guy finally stopped pretending:
"Bad guy? Humph, today I will let you taste how bad I am!"
"Woo... don't... hate it, stay away from me..."
