The moonlight was hazy, and the strong light of the moon forced the dark clouds not to come near.
Ike followed the old woman to see the countess, the mother that Fia said was very strange, the mysterious woman who always frowned when Lina mentioned it.
At the same time, she was also the creator of Ike's second life. With one finger of her hand, Ike's fate was destined to be inseparable from her.
Since buying Ike back, the Countess has not had any interaction with Ike. Even her two daughters have not mentioned the Countess much. Ike always has one thought in his heart, which is his own destiny.
Maybe it was because of my wife that I changed.
Now I see the old lady coming to deliver a message, which just confirms my guess.
If the old lady hadn't given him the medicine that day, he might have died at Fia's hands. It was probably the countess who asked her to do this. Looking at the old lady who always had the same expression, Ike became more and more excited about what the countess would be like.
.
Is it Lina's tenderness or Fia's enthusiasm? Ike thought that only when he truly meets the countess can he get a real answer to his thoughts.
The old woman suddenly stopped, pointed at the figure in the distance, and said, "That's Madam."
Ike looked along her hand and saw a woman who was very similar to Lina. She stood on the jade bridge and looked up at the moon, but her eyes were covered by a layer of white cloth. Her long silver-purple hair was almost
Up to her waist, it was fluttering in the breeze. She was wearing a dark red Qi Master robe, with her hands on her chest.
If her temperament hadn't been better than that of Lina, Ike might have mistaken her for Lina and Fia's sister. It was such a mysterious and kind woman who single-handedly took over his destiny.
"It's Ike who's here!" The countess' voice was very soft, but she still turned her back to Ike and continued to look at the moonlit sky.
This reminded Ike of his mother. Every time he came home with his father, his mother would shout kindly in this tone. When Ike saw the countess, he thought of his mother.
The feeling of déjà vu was subtle, but the difference was that my mother could not have the temperament of the countess.
She was an ordinary woman, but she risked her own life to protect her child's life at the last moment.
Ake suddenly had a strong idea in his heart. What she covered with white cloth was a pair of eyes that could know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in future. Just by looking at someone else, you could know what would happen to that person in the future.
Maybe he thinks too much, but he would rather think this way. He doesn't want such a beautiful and kind countess to be blind.
While thinking about this, Ike forgot to answer his wife's words. When he was about to answer, his wife had already come to him and stretched out her smooth hand to touch Ike's cheek.
For a house slave, it was difficult to believe what the Countess was going to do. But Ike was different after all. Even though he was only seventeen years old, he could see something different.
"You've grown up!" the countess said happily, "In my memory, you are still the skinny child you were back then. I didn't expect you have grown so big."
Ike felt that there was something different between these words and his wife's behavior just now. Just as Ike was about to speak, his wife said calmly: "I really want to take a good look at you now. But my eyes were opened three months ago.
Already blind, you are the last person I have ever seen."
Hearing this sentence, Ike felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know why the countess was blind, and Ike felt sorry for it. Although he would not put the idea of "she was blind because of me" on his head, he did
I also think so, and feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
"I heard that you participated in this slave meeting on Fia's recommendation?" the countess asked.
"Yes!" Ike said this word. He wanted to say something, but he felt strongly in his heart that she should know everything.
A smile appeared on the corner of the countess's lips: "I heard before that Lina wanted you to use two years of outstanding performance in the Earl's Mansion in exchange for the status of a domestic servant. In comparison, which one do you prefer?"
Ike said hesitantly: "I..."
The countess reached out and held his mouth. The aroma on her palm was enough to make Ike suffocate, as well as the familiar smell. She said: "The real answer is not in your mouth, but in your heart. In fact,
What you want to do and what you want to get are all subconscious behaviors. Don't question it."
"Yes!" Ike said the word again.
The countess raised her head and looked at the moonlight again: "Are you wondering why I am telling you this? Do you have questions in your mind about why I bought you in the first place? Do you have many ideas about why a mere domestic slave got the countess's possessions?
take care of?"
Ike listened to the Countess' three questions in a row and replied firmly: "Yes! I want to know!"
"There are no free benefits in the world, I hope you know." The countess still said gently, but the words were not so gentle. "Now I can't answer you why. There is a voice that keeps saying in my mind:
'I don't want to die! I want to live!'. That feeling was so strong that I could feel it, so I gave the child who had a strong desire to live a chance. Then this child would not be able to repay me in the future. I felt
That child is different from others. I have taken a liking to you, it's that simple."
That child was Ike. The lady said it so straightforwardly, but Ike didn't feel that she was taking advantage of her at all. On the contrary, the countess seemed to be looking for an excuse to make Ike believe that she was helping Ike just so that Ike could be in the future.
repay her.
Is this really the case? Because he couldn't see the countess' eyes, Ike didn't know what her expression was at this moment. But Ike could feel it intimately, and that expression was very close to love.
The countess did not speak further, and Ike also looked at the moon. The moon was really round, just like his current mood. He felt more and more that his life had completely changed, and the source of everything was decided by the lady in front of him.
Yang Shenlu lay quietly in Ike's arms, he seemed as obedient as a child.
"Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. Don't you forget? Come on, let me host this important day for you." The countess seemed to suddenly remember, but her words seemed to have been prepared for it.
Ike felt his nose was sore as he listened carefully to what the Countess said.
The countess waved and then said: "Please allow me to replace your mother and perform the coming-of-age ceremony for you. You will throw away the immaturity of the past, throw away the childish ideas, and become responsible and responsible. After the age of seventeen
You must be an upright man!"
"Ike Bradin swears to be an upright man from now on!" Ike said firmly, covering his chest.
The countess pointed her head at him, as if watching him, and said: "There is no need to hesitate about anything. When you want to make up your mind, you already have the answer in your heart. Then use bold actions.
Made!"
"Yes!" Ike replied loudly.
The countess took out a scroll and said: "This is your gift. Open it after you can go to the branch and be admitted. If you can successfully graduate and achieve success, don't forget your adult ceremony tonight, and there are two people.
Watch."
"In the future, Ike is willing to go through fire and water for his wife!" Ike promised himself that he would no longer shed tears after that time, but for some reason, his tears could not help but fall down his cheeks.
The lady responded to him with a smile on her lips, which seemed to be expressing something. It seemed that she was just smiling happily, watching the child grow up.
