Arthur scratched the back of his head. Karina's sudden thanks made him a little overwhelmed. Although his original intention was to make Messiah stronger and his homeland to develop further, at the same time,
, the reason why Arthur works so hard is inevitably because he wants to complete the task of releasing the treasure bag system.
Therefore, Arthur did this for himself to a large extent, so being so solemnly thanked by Karina naturally made him very uncomfortable.
"Yes, we are friends."
The word "friend" completely warmed Karina's heart. Growing up, she really had few close friends. Maria was one of them, and the second one was Arthur in front of her.
Karina is very glad that she can get to know Arthur. It was Arthur who gave her a different feeling. It was he who protected her, her beliefs, and the city. Without Arthur, Carly would
Na really couldn't imagine whether she would be able to survive it.
When she fell, she realized how fragile she was and how much she needed Arthur.
Yes, Karina needs Arthur and needs Arthur to stay by her side. No matter when and where she is, she cannot imagine the days when Arthur is not around. Over the years, a huge burden has been weighing on Karina.
Now that Arthur has finally shouldered the responsibility with her and faced it together, how could Karina hope to go back to the past?
But can he and Arthur really just be friends?
When Karina looked up at Arthur, her expression was a little confused. Yes, having a good friend like Arthur was very happy for her, but Karina also realized that
I am becoming more and more dependent on Arthur, and I am becoming more and more inseparable from Arthur.
Especially every time she sees Arthur, Karina will feel a little excited in her heart. She sleeps in bed every night, looking forward to the next meeting with Arthur. If she doesn't see Arthur one day,
Sometimes, Karina would feel uncomfortable all over.
What's going on? Is this really what friends feel like? It should be like this.
Karina, who has never experienced the love between men and women, completely does not understand her current situation. In fact, she has not thought about her feelings in this direction at all. Now she only needs Arthur, who has always supported and helped her.
Friends were enough, as for other things, she really didn't think too much about it right now.
It's just that in the future, if this feeling continues to sublimate, when Karina completely sees her heart, I'm afraid she won't think so, and by then...
Well, these are all things for later. At this moment, Arthur prepared all the materials and made two thousand bottles of various perfumes on site in Karina's castle, including a total of four flavors.
, are four kinds of flowers that are Messiah’s specialties, and each flavor is also divided into two specifications: elegant and mellow, so that customers will have more choices.
And these two thousand bottles of perfume are all packed in very exquisite crystal bottles. This time Arthur and Karina decided to take the high-end route. Only in this way can they make better money, so external packaging is very necessary.
.
The cost price of each crystal bottle is five gold coins. You can imagine what the price of this perfume will be. However, for those nobles and businessmen who are nouveau riche, only buying the expensive ones is not right for this deformity.
However, I have already become accustomed to this concept of consumption. As long as the price goes up, it will naturally attract more attention.
Of course, after the two thousand bottles of the finished product were sealed, Arthur did not forget to get a few more bottles and prepare them for the girls around him, especially Cecily and Lisbeth, who had been neglected these days.
They also made Arthur a little embarrassed, so this perfume can be considered as compensation.
After continuing to discuss with Karina for a while, Arthur got up and said goodbye and returned to Cecily's home. However, when he came back, he was surprised to find that Cecily was sitting in the living room with a serious face. Who provoked her?
?
"I'm back." Although he was puzzled, Arthur still said hello to Cecily and wanted to talk to Cecily. But looking at her expression as deep as water, Arthur decisively felt that he
It’s better not to provoke this eldest sister for the time being.
"Arthur, come here, I have something to talk to you about." But just when Arthur was about to go back to his room, Cecily suddenly stopped Arthur, which made Arthur very upset.
Confused, talk to yourself? Well, anyway, I have a lot to say to Cecily.
"What's wrong with Cecily? What happened?" Instinctively, Arthur felt that something was wrong with Cecily today. He thought about whether she and Lisbeth ran to Lucy's house before.
Is there a necessary relationship?
"sorry!"
What surprised Arthur was that when he sat across from Cecily and was about to ask what happened, Cecily suddenly stood up, bowed to Arthur, and said the words "I'm sorry"
.
God, what the hell happened?
Arthur was completely confused. I'm sorry? What did Cexili feel sorry for? And to get Cexili to say sorry to him, for Arthur, this was no less than the heavy snowfall in June. It was simply impossible.
thing.
"I said Cecily, what's wrong with you?" Arthur quickly stepped forward and grabbed Cecily's arm. There was definitely something wrong with Cecily today. This was not the ordinary Cecily!
"No... Arthur, listen to me, I really want to apologize to you for this..."
Cecily shook her head and finally revealed her original intention of going to Cheluxi's house with Lisbeth today. In fact, this matter had bothered her all afternoon, even when Arthur was still there.
Before returning home, she was still thinking about this issue.
Cecily had decided that she wanted to have a good talk with Arthur, and just after she returned home, she also reviewed what she had done today. When she thought about it, Cecily regretted it. In fact, regardless of Arthur,
What kind of relationship does Se have with Qie Lucy? It was wrong for me to visit so recklessly today.
After thinking about it, Cecily finally decided to apologize to Arthur.
Yes, it's impossible not to apologize for this kind of thing. Cecily didn't want to create any gap between herself and Arthur, so that's why the scene just happened.
"So that's it." After Cecily finished telling her story, Arthur suddenly laughed after being silent for a while.
"Why are you laughing!" Cecily was originally worried. She was very uneasy thinking, would Arthur be angry because of this? But who would have thought that Arthur suddenly laughed, which surprised Cecily.
At the same time, he became a little angry.
What I do is so funny? Why are you laughing so heartlessly?
"To be so entangled over such a thing, do you think I would be such a stingy person and would get angry over such a trivial matter?" Arthur smiled and shook his head. It was indeed quite funny that Cecily did this.
But besides that, there was this little warmth in Arthur's heart.
After all, Cecily and Lisbeth both cared about them, otherwise they wouldn’t have come to Qie Lucy’s house. During the period when Maria was away, Cecily and Lisbeth
Just like Arthur's relatives, would Arthur still be angry because of his relatives' concern?
"Aren't you angry?" Cecily looked at Arthur carefully. In her opinion, she did something very wrong. If someone interfered with her like this, she would definitely be very angry, but why didn't Arthur?
?
"What's there to be angry about? Besides, Qie Lucy and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think at all." Arthur spread his hands. Originally, Cecily was not making trouble unreasonably, because of this
If you get angry over trivial things, your mind will be too narrow-minded. Besides, Arthur already has a clear conscience.
"Really? Are they just ordinary friends?" After hearing Arthur's words, Cecily's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Why was she so excited when she heard that Arthur and Qie Lucy were not boyfriend and girlfriend? Cecily was so excited.
She didn't have time to think about this, she only cared about whether it was true or not.
"Of course." Arthur spread his hands, this is the truth.
"Then why do you have to..." Cecily hesitated for a moment. Arthur, who is not her boyfriend and girlfriend, still has to go to Lucy's house every day. This doesn't seem to make sense.
"You're thinking too much. I went to Lucy's house to study this." Arthur waved his hand and said while taking out a crystal bottle from his pocket. The crystal bottle contained
It was about half a bottle of pale pink liquid. Needless to say, it was naturally the perfume developed by Arthur.
"This is..." Cexili looked at the crystal bottle in confusion. She didn't know the existence of perfume at all, so she naturally didn't know what was inside.
"Open it and take a look." Arthur smiled mysteriously and handed the perfume in his hand to Cecily's hand.
"It smells so good!" Cecily was still confused at first, but when she opened the lid of the crystal bottle, she was immediately attracted by the aroma emanating from the bottle.
What does this smell like? It seems to be the fragrance of orchids, but it is a little different, but it smells really good.
"How's it going? Do you like it?" In fact, Arthur didn't even need to ask. It could be seen from Cecily's expression that she really liked this bottle of perfume.
"Well, Arthur, have you been studying this at Lucy's house?" There is no girl who doesn't like perfume, even Cecily, a girl who works with guns and swords every day. After all, this is also a girl.
It’s a child’s nature.
But what surprised Cecilly was that this was actually developed by Arthur. That was a bit incredible. When did Arthur learn to do such a thing?
