Sally clenched her fists slightly, and her palms were already covered in sweat at some point.

Walking along the way from the Duke's Mansion, the familiar streets in front of her would make her sigh inexplicably: she is no longer the little nun who was waiting for in the monastery.

Today, she is the heir to the territory and the formal priest of the denomination.

Sally will not forget how these "halos" came from: if it weren't for Roddy, she would have died in the attack on the border, and her father would have died under the potion of the undead...

She couldn't repay such kindness for her--but what made Sally regret was that when she thought of these, the person who led her out of the crisis had been pushed away by her.

The quarrel in the temple became the biggest emotional scar between her and Roddy, but Sally believed that as long as she apologized as she once did, Roddy would forgive herself.

must.

Such belief supported her standing for a long time, but when the familiar figure appeared in her vision, Sally pursed her lips slightly and walked forward with some anxiety.

For the meeting at this moment, Sally dressed up for more than four hours. At this time, she had a perfect makeup and elegant temperament. With her white but gorgeous long waisted skirt, she could almost be painted in the eyes of everyone under the sun.

On the other hand, after Baron Winston was stopped by the housekeeper, Roddy, who had already dismounted and walked forward, was slightly absent--in the end, people would never completely forget everything. Sally had an unshakable position in his heart, but after that quarrel, Roddy could not confirm how much the position had changed...

In a trance, he was close to Sally, but the chaotic thoughts in his mind were finally suppressed by his reason: Roddy had made a choice, so he knew what to do now.

In Sally's eyes, Roddy's appearance seemed to be always "suffering". He was always running around in all kinds of battlefields, fighting silently for the goal that once shocked her soul. Even if he came to see him, he was wearing patched leather armor equipment and carrying the short blue bow...

But...who is the woman next to him?

Although she was only seventeen years old, Sally still instinctively became hostile to Akasha. But when she looked over, she found that the other party's eyes were full of "looking" and "curiosity".

It probably won't...it won't be what I thought.

Sally tried to keep her heartbeat calm. She looked at Roddy who had arrived in front of her, paused for two seconds, and said, "Roddy... Long time no see."

Her voice was a bit hoarse, making the atmosphere between the two even more awkward.

Roddy looked at Sally, feeling a little unspeakable. The quarrel between the two of them was still vivid in their minds when they met for the last time. At this time, he didn't even know what he said.

Finally, his eyes moved aside: "Yes, long time no see."

"I…"

"that…"

Neither of them looked at each other, and it was not until the moment they spoke at the same time that Roddy and Sally had their first look at each other.

Those eyes with stubbornness and self-esteem were exactly the same as in my memory. She didn't wait for Roddy to say anything and said first: "Last time... I messed up everything. I shouldn't doubt you like that. I--in anyway, I misunderstood a lot of things, Nai, Naifei's affairs... No matter what, I will believe you in the future."

Sally originally wanted to talk about these things to Roddy after returning to the Duke's Mansion. After all, as the daughter of the Duke, it was not appropriate to apologize to a baron in public, but Akasha's appearance gave her an indescribable sense of crisis.

So she bet on everything: Sally believed that as long as she apologized first, Roddy would definitely forgive herself as she used to, and then the relationship between the two was as good as before...

This will definitely happen.

“…I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”

Sally let out a breath, but after raising her eyes, she found a bitterness on the corner of Roddy's mouth.

"The past is over, I... accept your apology."

Roddy's eyes flashed slightly, and some consciousness in his heart seemed to be shaken, but after turning his head to look at Akasha, he closed his eyes slightly.

When he opened it again, some formulaic smiles appeared on Roddy's face: "Is Duke Angma okay?"

"My father's condition is not very optimistic."

Sally answered the question mechanically, and she looked at Roddy's cheek, but her heart sank little by little.

After the focus of his sight was changed twice between Roddy and Akasha, Sally finally failed to calm down and asked, "This one is..."

"Akasha, I am a Roddy's follower."

Standing in front of Sally, Akasha, wearing a plain robe, really felt "sad": in terms of life experience, she is far from the other party; in terms of appearance, although both of them have their own advantages, she cannot learn from Sally's confident aura of a noble family. Listening to the duke's apology to Roddy, no matter how stupid Akasha is, she can hear the guilt and concession in her words.

The meaning of this also made her feel a little nervous. So she took a step forward and took the initiative to introduce herself.

But after she finished speaking, Roddy stretched out her arm, gently held her, and said to Sally: "I am the one who was the one who was once."

Although the three of them had no expressions, Xinxian was tense in one place-and when Roddy held Akasha's palm, Sally's eyes twitched suddenly, and her face was almost instantly as if blood was drawn, turning white.

"What do you mean--you, I mean..."

She looked at Roddy in a panic and looked around again, but she couldn't even say a complete sentence. There were countless hopes in her heart, but the facts in front of her ruthlessly broke everything.

Everything is too late.

For a moment, Sally almost fell into an abyss of emotional out of control. However, the guards holding weapons in her vision suddenly reminded her of her identity and situation at this time...

"call--"

Sally took a deep breath, pressed tears into her eyes, lowered her eyes, and used all her strength to maintain a "calm" tone: "Father is here, I'm waiting for you in the mansion, I still have something to do...I--"

Before she finished speaking, she could no longer bear the pain in her heart and turned around and walked towards the other direction... Her steps were getting faster and faster, and finally became a desperate running, as if she was escaping from an indelible nightmare.

Looking at Sally's back, Akasha knew what this meant even though she was stupid. She turned her head and looked at Roddy - although his face was still calm, her arms were trembling slightly uncontrollably.

"Let's go, go to the Duke's Mansion."

Since you have made a choice, you will not be destined to have a happy ending.

Roddy closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the Duke's Mansion, never taking a look at the direction where Sally left.

"Baron, your horse and equipment--"

"I always wear equipment to enter the mansion. If you think it's inappropriate, you can report to Butler John for inquiries."

His voice suddenly became cold and hard, and it was a little hard. Akasha didn't say anything, gently stroked his palms, and followed him silently.

*******

On the street dozens of meters away, pedestrians around looked at the gorgeously dressed girl in surprise.

Sally ran in despair. After running for more than 30 meters, she finally fell to the ground because of her long skirt tripping her feet. The pain in her knees made the tears that she had to endure were wiped out. All the grievances, regrets and self-blame poured out, making the world in front of her blur instantly.

"despair."

"despair."

Tears fell to the ground, and a huge sense of helplessness suddenly came. Sally suppressed her crying, but her tears became more and more.

Why…

Why...

"Miss Sally?"

A voice sounded in front of him, Sally raised her head and tried to wipe away the tears from her cheeks, asking, "Who are you?"

"Miss Sally, I am Langchi Winston, Earl of Winston under Pahenal."

Winston, who had been bypassed by the side, was very happy at this moment, but he was silent on the surface. The young Count, who was well versed in the art of picking up girls, tried to make himself serious and said in a deep voice: "Do you need my help, Miss Sally?"

He reached out and tried to help Sally up. This movement has been tempered countless times and looks very elegant-but Sally has no interest in such "elegance".

She ignored Winston's outstretched palm and gritted her teeth and stood up.

"Miss Sally, maybe we should find a chance to sit down and talk. The baron was really ignorant. He was so rude to let a lady do this..."

"Do you need me to get the carriage to take you back to your residence?"

"Or go to my temporary station to take a break? It's not far away..."

"If I have the chance, I must duel with that reckless guy. What contribution can such an incompetent noble have to do to the territory? One more is not more, one less is not less."

Sally stepped forward, while Earl Winston was there to try to get her attention - but when she said this, Sally suddenly stopped.

"Incompetent noble?"

She turned her head expressionlessly and whispered: "Who blocked the orcs' invasion? Who killed Magda and Belom? Who changed the result of the Battle of Rose Cross?"

The next moment, Sally burst out without warning—

"He is stupid, he is stupid, he has many shortcomings, but no one can accuse him of being 'incompetent'!"

He reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, and Sally breathed in big mouthfuls, "He hurt my heart. This is my business and has nothing to do with others. And you said he is incompetent... What qualifications do you have? Why? Just based on the title and territory you inherited? The price of your outfit? The face that can be a male prostitute with you?"

She raised her head and her tone suddenly became quiet: "Leave your sweet words... to those whores."

"I won't eat this set."

Sally left the other party angrily, and she didn't even want to pay attention to the ugly face that was red and green, and walked forward - but without taking two steps, the noise from the guards suddenly came from the distance.

Sally stopped suddenly, and when she looked back, there were intermittent shouts in the air...
