Chapter 5 Fragility

The cold wind at midnight made a rustling sound as it passed through the glazed window. The subtle light swayed in the quiet room. The beautifully curved blonde girl sat on the bed with her slender legs bent. Her white nightgown made her look like a lost angel, her eyes shaking with the shadows of the lights on the wall without any focus, as if she saw a moth flashing its wings and swelling into the lights in summer.

If those "relatives" far away in Damma or the imperial capital saw her like this, or would rub their eyes and suspect that they had seen another person with similar appearances but different souls. She has always had a calmness and strength that is far more than women of the same age. While she was so beautiful that she was heart-wrenching, she also had confidence and arrogance that could arouse others' awesomeness, and there were even some unbearable rumors in the aristocratic circle.

"...As long as Miss Furna of the Wall's family is coldly looked at, even the most savage pornographic maniac will become a gentleman who keeps his politeness..."

This sentence shows how Ferna, who is outside the Chaiyan Town, has done. Even so, this is not enough to force some people to retreat from their determination to pursue this ice rose. So far, only Earl White, who is said to be "extremely appreciated by the emperor and has a bright future" has had a certain intimate connection with her through the relationship between Ferna's family. Although Ferna was only disgusted with the Earl from beginning to end, and the two have not breathed air in the same square meter space so far.

Compared to those people, Aunt Sophia has a very special significance to her. This woman whom she regards as a mother sister is the only relative who did not look down on her when she was a child and also took care of her and her mother from time to time. Even though she left Danma ten years ago and had not been in contact since then, in her heart, she is already the only relative in the world who can make her defensive and open her heart. Therefore, after arriving in Chiyan Town, she slightly let go of the cold shell that she had maintained for many years and try to integrate into the relaxing atmosphere that her aunt created for herself.

Even though the effect is not obvious in the early stages, Tang Yi, for example, had just a little contact, and could feel the obvious protective film on her body, which was represented by calmness and elegance, and rejected everything that could touch and hurt her.

But at this moment, she sat here like a newborn baby, losing all the shells that had been around for a long time, with a faint sadness, and as fragile as a porcelain bottle.

Only in such an empty night, far away from all the places that had been hurt, she allowed herself to become so vulnerable.

Only at this moment, or an hour... She told herself like this. Tomorrow morning, you will become the calm and elegant Furna again, stay away from all feelings and sadness, and retreat to the cold place where only you are, because only that is the destination that truly belongs to you...

Even though... I feel so uncomfortable, such a suffocating feeling... If I have never felt it before and hadn't expected it, it would have been much better. But no matter what, this will become the warmest place in my heart. Once upon a time, I had a crush on a boy in this peaceful town...

A gentle foot sound came from the corridor outside the door, and a faint light penetrated into the crack of the door. She reacted and hurriedly got into the soft bedding and waved the white candle by the bed.

"Aunt, I'm going to sleep..."

Footnote stopped by the door, and Furna seemed to see the gentle and helpless smile on the corner of the woman's mouth outside the door. Then, the door was still pushed open. The woman in goose yellow pajamas walked in with the magic candlestick in her hand. The magic stone on the candlestick was emitting a warm light.

"I'm a level seven swordsman..."

The gentle voice told the same fact, telling her that any movement in the room had just happened to fall into the other party's perception as if she had seen her. The older woman placed the candlestick on the head of the bed, then put her hand into the bedding, gently stroked her legs wrapped in the nightgown, and finally pressed her hand on her cold slender feet.

"The weather is very cold, so don't do this again in the future. If you don't cover yourself with a quilt, you will easily get sick."

"aunt……"

Unconsciously, a choking sensation rose in her throat for many years. She had not shown weakness in front of others.

"Talk me..." He reached out and pressed the candlestick to extinguish the candlestick. The woman took off her shoes by the bed and slept in the same bedding as her. She gently hugged her slightly stiff body from behind, "... Talk to Ayi."

"aunt……"

"That's a very outstanding child." The woman said to herself, ignoring the resistance in the other party's tone, "Having outstanding talents, but not showing off or being proud, and having good cultivation means that he is not a low-class background, but he is not arrogant, polite, and sympathetic. He can even tolerate the entanglement of those children. He is almost a perfect gentleman. In the world I have been in contact with, there is no man who can be compared with him... Have you ever seen him?"

"Auntie, please stop talking?"

"Have you seen it before?" The person behind it still insisted.

"……No."

"So... do you like him?"

"aunt."

"You like it! Do you?"

"So what! So what can I do..." A voice suddenly appeared in my throat, which seemed to be resentful and choked, "Aunt, he has a wife..."

"Yes, this seems to be the only shortcoming..." the woman seemed to be murmuring, "But... what about that Count White? How?"

The soft body, which gradually became powerless, remained silent, not thinking, but because the question itself was not worth answering, putting the names of the two people together, or just an insult that she could not bear.

"The answer is obvious, right? That count... No, it's not Danma here, there is no need to use respect to him... Compared to Ayi, the pig is not even as good as garbage. Do you know? He even made up my mind ten years ago. He was a man who was invisible to people but could constantly corrode his soul and could not get any redemption! But he did not make a fortune at that time, and the family did not take him to heart... He was as fat as a bloated gourd, how are you now?"

"Only fatter..." After a slight silence, the woman said a brief comment in an abominable tone.

"Poor Furna..." sighed, and the Viscountess's hand stroked the woman like a prank, "If you marry him, your weak body would be crushed directly on the bed by him..."

"Ha..." The woman struggled slightly, a smile appeared on her lips. What appeared in her mind was the years that were more than ten years ago. Women, big and small, were playing in bed, chatting and playing every night. That was the happiest period in her heart. Even though she practiced magic that she was not interested in during the day, and worked several times more than ordinary people to win the recognition of the family. When she returned home, she could only see her mother's eyes as if she was dying. But occasionally the arrival of this aunt, who was eight years older than herself, was as excited as a feast.

She remembered that in the last days, when the family had already had a marriage contract arranged by the family, the older woman still asked the eleven-year-old girl to refer to the candidates she could marry. They studied the information of a young man in the bedding every night, but the reference opinion of the little girl was not adopted at that time. She finally married a viscount named Richardson, who was regarded as "cold and weird, and ugly" by the little girl. After a series of arrangements and arrangements, she escaped the pressure of the family through the power of the Light God Palace and became a viscount "as she wished". Since then, they have never had the opportunity to play in the same bed.

Only half a year later, the viscount, who was once denounced as "cold and weird, and ugly" by the little girl, unfortunately died on the battlefield. After another half a year, the still young and beautiful viscountess left Danma. Since then, the little girl finally lost her only source of warmth... Ten years later, the little girl naturally understood that her original opinions had no reference value. At that time, she was just criticizing everyone one by one, or today's Ayi appeared at that time, and she would be denounced as a useless man who was "weak and incompetent and sissy". However, no matter what, she still felt a little incredible about her original choice.

"Aunt, did you... really love your uncle?"

"Where can everything rise to love..." The Viscountess sighed, "At that time, I didn't have time to fall in love with anyone. The reason I chose him was because I had relatively good feelings. Besides, he was just a single person at the beginning. Even if something happened to anger the family, I hope I won't affect too many people. You know, at that time, I was ready to resist..."

"There is no perfect thing in life, we can only choose the best result... Furna, I originally hoped that you could get a perfect ending, but the facts finally developed beyond my imagination. But no matter what, what you can choose now is much more perfect than I could choose. These days, you should understand what kind of person Ayi is, and what if he has a wife? You should understand that he is different from your father. He is a person who cherishes what he loves much more than himself. Once you agree with you, you will never be wronged."

These words made Furna silent for a while, and she said, "But... he won't accept me. He said that the person he cherishes the most is his wife. How could it be..."

"That's right..." The Viscountess smiled and whispered, "First of all... Of course you have to seduce him!"

"What, what?"

"Don't be shy. A girl in her twenties is still not sure how to seduce the man she likes. It's very frustrating. Actually, there's nothing. As long as you have the first time, the rest of Ayi will do it... Do you understand what I mean?"

"..." The room was quiet without a sound. After a long time, Furna could only whisper: "Aunt...I, I want to think about it..."

After a while, Furna heard him say again: "Auntie, do you like Ayi too?"

"Well, of course, I don't have any reason to dislike him, right?"

"Then... Aunt, let's marry her together. In this way, I don't have to worry that his wife will bully me... Aunt, do you think it's okay?"

"...You little girl, you dare to tease me. I am a swordsman. At such a close distance, do you still want to have room for resistance? Be punished obediently!"

"Hehe...haha, help...no, aunt...I dare not, haha...I mean it's true..."

The room started to play with laughter and joking, everything seemed to be back to the night ten years ago. When the lost years were picked up, I hope that the missing smile would be made up again. The Viscountess smiled, hoping that you would be happy, just like... the happiness I once lost...

******************************************************************

The colder weather suddenly changed. A few days later, the temperature had a rare warming. At this time, Tang Yi came to the town and bought a few winter items that he felt were missing in recent days.

It was still in the Viscountess' courtyard. The three of them moved some precious flowers and plants into the heating room. After the abnormal warming, the subsequent cooling would come, or it would be a sudden drop. The Viscountess has always been willing to do these things to take care of flowers and plants by herself, and the servants often can only watch from the side.

It was afternoon, and it was a long time before sunset after finishing work. The Viscountess wanted to invite Tang Yi to stay for dinner as usual - he had never agreed before, because during his time here, Xiaoxue was still wandering outside the town alone - of course, he did not agree. However, compared to the past, the Viscountess seemed particularly persistent this time. Before Tang Yi agreed, she even sent Furna out to buy some delicious autumn wild vegetables from the townsmen.

"... Think about it carefully outside. Where you can't see him, calm down and think about what you need and what you don't need. I will find a way to keep him once. If you figure it out... Well, I won't say it for now, you think about it..."

After saying this in a place where Tang Yi could not see it, the red-faced Furna smiled and pushed out the door.

In the past few days, she has thought about what my aunt said countless times, but the conclusion has not appeared in any part of her mind. She was walking on the mountain road in a mess. She walked to Aunt Mary's house, who usually went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. After asking, she realized that she was still on the mountain at this time and it would probably take a while before she could come back.

"Uh...I'll go find her."

She smiled and refused the kind hospitality of Aunt Mary's family. Of course, she didn't notice the stunning and surprising expression on the other person's face. She was so confused that she didn't know where to go, but just subconsciously walked along the mountain road into the forest. Suddenly, the child's scream came with the roar of the beast!

What's the matter...

Before he could react, a slightly fat woman had already rushed out of the forest, went to the opposite woods, shouting: "What's going on! What's wrong, little Donald!..."

No answer.

The woman was Aunt Mary, and the little Donald was her youngest son. It was obvious that something had happened in the woods. Following the direction of the sound just now, the two rushed into the forest and ran not far away. They saw the child who had fainted in the grass and... the strange silver-haired woman squatting beside him, wearing clothes made of leaves, holding a sharp and strange weapon.

"Ah--" Seeing the other person dressed strangely and holding a murder weapon, Aunt Mary screamed, but she didn't dare to rush over, "You...what do you want to do! Let go, let go of my child--by-by, you are not, no..."

The fat fingers trembled and pointed at the silver-haired woman who had already raised her head, and looked nervously at the silver-haired woman here: "...You are a wolf girl, you are a wolf girl! Miss Wall, aren't you a magician? Please save my child... She is a wolf girl. She was caught once a few years ago, and later she died. This time she came again. She was eyeing my child... Miss Wall, please save my child..."

The wolf girl in front shouted a few voices that the two couldn't understand, then turned around and ran away. At the same time, Furna's magic was also cast in an instant. Suddenly, countless thorny vines danced in front...

******************************************************************

Perhaps because of the sudden change in the weather, Tang Yi had some diarrhea these two days.

For some reason, the Viscountess, who has always been easy to talk and reasonable, is a little strange today. Even if she has moved out the reason that "my wife is waiting for her at home", she seems to insist on having a meal here. Of course, she understands her kindness. She has been to her house for so long and has never eaten a meal here, which is a bit unreasonable. But this time it doesn't work. Xiaoxue is still waiting outside the town. Maybe one day she should come here alone. After rejecting for a long time, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable again. However, before entering the toilet, he had heard the riots coming from a distance.

"Huh? What's the matter... Um, forget it, let's go and see it later..." Tang Yiwei was a little curious, but her stomach immediately rebelled. He quickly flashed in. Looking at his embarrassed look, the Viscountess was a little funny. This man was sometimes terrifyingly mature, and sometimes he did look like a child.

No matter which one is, it is a personality that makes the girl like. Thinking of this in her heart, she became a little curious about the movement outside. When she walked out of the living room, the residents in the town were knocking on the iron door outside the manor.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Yi walked out of the toilet, washed his hands, and sorted out his clothes. A rough wooden cage was placed in the living room, and the thorny vines wrapped around the petite body. The silver-haired woman lay weakly in the cage, still struggling constantly. The spikes scraped bloody wounds on her skin, and the wound seemed to prick him in his heart. For an instant, he stood there. The sunlight near the dusk brought coldness, the wind blew the curtains, and the light jumped lightly and darkly on his face...

There is no perfect thing in life, we can only choose the best result... The Viscountess said this, but it is still in his ears, and things turn in an unpredictable direction, as if even the best result is passing quietly...

But at that moment, no one knew...
