What Griffith said seems to make sense, but I always find it hard to accept.
Galadia was speechless as she was held hand in hand and walked through the long dark passage. Silence and darkness enveloped them, as if this was the whole world.
Her thoughts wandered away...
What a strange feeling, the hot hands are so big, and sometimes they pinch and hurt me, as if they are taking advantage of me, but there is an inescapable magic that makes me want to go back as soon as possible even if I only leave for a short time.
He is not very handsome. Although he is not ugly, he is not refined or delicate at all, and his appearance is far inferior to that of the elves. He also likes to wear those broken helmets, and he will definitely be bald in the future.
He has many shortcomings. He has no devout faith or simply believes in every god. He especially worships gold coins and counts the metal pieces every day. Even though he is with me, he will still glance at the beautiful girls passing by, and he does so from the bottom of his heart.
Inwardly and instinctively. Who knows what he, Sonia and the officer sister secretly did, ah! I’m so angry! I bet if you question him, this playboy will definitely not admit it!
He is very brave, but sometimes he is so fierce~ He is very smart, but no, his grades are not good~ And there are also brave and smart elves in Canaan. If I look carefully for my father, I should be able to find a lot of them for me.
It's quite interesting, and I have good ideas from time to time, but there are also a lot of crooked ideas!
He is just an ordinary human quasi-knight. Okay, I admit that he is a little more powerful than ordinary knights, but most of his combat power comes from endurance and the ring assistant whose origin is unknown and will cause trouble sooner or later. He has no title and no power. Well, actually he is nothing.
nothing.
What is it that attracts me? As long as I don’t see him for a day, I miss him...how strange!
Galadia lowered her head, blushing fiercely, feeling both unconvinced and shy.
Coincidentally, a group of people carrying large and small boxes hurriedly came from the front, and all the pedestrians hurriedly made way for them. Seizing this brief moment, she cleverly and unnoticedly grabbed Griffith's hand from Griffith's hand.
Escaped.
Yes, actually, if you think about it carefully, that’s all. Although I’m a little weird, I’ll feel relieved when I think about it clearly, right?
Hmm, I understand, he must have used something in psychology to appear nearby when I was in danger several times, and took advantage of me when I was panicking.
It was the same when we fought against the goblins, it was the same that night at the Keep, and it was the same at the promotion ceremony. The difference between him and everyone else is that he took the risk with me and had the advantage of opportunities!
Yes, that’s it! I’m going to expose this little psychological trick, and I’ll grow again!
Galadia, who had made up her mind, raised her chin, hummed and stared at Griffith, who walked around the crowd and returned to her side.
"Griffith, I understand!" the girl shouted happily, "I discovered your little secret! I want to expose them!"
"What secret?" Griffith panicked subconsciously, then held her hand.
Galadia, who was grabbed by the warm power, fell silent for a moment. Her great discovery disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was once again wrapped in soft fantasy and attachment.
She leaned softly on the would-be knight's arm and whispered in a low voice that only she could hear:
"That's not fair~"
…
The underground world of Canaan is actually not hidden.
The two walked through a well-renovated but somewhat dark tunnel and found their way back to the basement of a huge palace.
The brilliance of Canaan, as bright as the Milky Way, once again appeared before our eyes. The city under the night was decorated with blue and pink, beautiful and holy.
"I feel like I've been on a little adventure!" Galadia's eyes brightened again. Griffith hesitated again and again and let go of her hand.
"I'm sorry about the guardian knight," Griffith helped Galadia take off her cheap robe and touched the tip of her nose, "I will become an official knight."
"You are not qualified to enter the country even if you become a formal knight, and Canaan does not recognize human titles; only the special status of a guardian knight can free me from the shackles of my family." Miss Elf sighed heavily, "Forget it, if
If we really sign a guardianship contract, my dad might break my legs if he finds out."
"You actually didn't tell the consul..." Griffith was speechless. "This is something that could really kill me."
The two laughed softly under the quiet building.
"Griffith," Galadia seemed to be hesitating. Finally, she asked in a low voice, "Without the guardian knight, I can't fight against the family's decision, and I can't go out on adventures casually. This is the system of Canaan.
"What do you think if I become an adult and am really arranged to marry a certain fiancée?"
There is nothing to hesitate about this question. Griffith's will is firm and clear: "If it is based on your free will, I will bless you."
"What if not!" the elf asked eagerly.
"I will take my army, tear down your forest, and take you away," Griffith said without hesitation. "I will do what I say. I will not let you be dragged away like cattle and sheep."
If there is any god who blocks my way, I will let him test whether my lance is good or not."
"..."
Galadia blushed terribly. She stared at Griffith in a daze for a while, then suddenly rushed up to him and kissed him hastily on the cheek.
Her movements were as fast as lightning, and she turned around and fled in the direction of the consul's residence.
Griffith wanted to chase her from behind, but of course he failed to catch up.
…
Galadia walked through the block, climbed over the wall to avoid the view of the door, and hid in the flowers of her house and looked around to make sure no one noticed her.
The Villanoy family has a very strict upbringing. If their underage daughter doesn't come home on time, she will be severely punished. She will never be given snacks, and the scolding will gradually escalate. It is possible to ground the child or even give her a beating.
How embarrassing is it that she is beaten by her father even though she is already a beautiful girl? Moreover, this is very detrimental to the dignity of the consul who works day and night for the country. As a good daughter, I must be more considerate to him and not let him
Discover.
Galadiya was now in a good mood and felt that her logic was perfect and self-consistent. She climbed up to the terrace and climbed into her room on the second floor without any guilt.
"Is anyone home?" Galadia gently opened the window, tiptoed in, asked in a small voice, and then answered the question, "No one, come in quickly."
The soft bedding was well spread, and there were nightclub cookies on the small table by the window. Galadia threw a biscuit into her mouth and sat down beside the bed with a big pillow in her arms.
I have been sleeping in the dormitory of Homemon Watts for a long time. The bed at home is so big that two people should sleep in it. Will I be squeezed in... Ah, what am I thinking!
She ate the biscuits and began to think wildly.
Thinking about it now, I was just too indecisive. In the words of the King of Mystery, there was something wrong with the national policy tree. "Adventure together", "from classmate to good friend", "the closest person of the opposite sex", until now there is no problem
Yes, but under the threats of Sonia, the officer sister and many other bad cats, I have been unable to make up my mind. If this continues, sooner or later it will turn into "you are all my important people", ah! Isn't this the end of the world?
!?
Miss Elf fell down on the bed and rolled around.
No, this can't work! They're all holding hands, and Griffith just said those words... I don't want to give him to others~
Galadia suddenly sat up.
Well, it’s time to make a decision now. The next national policies should be “The Charm of Short Skirts”, “Operation Summer Night Fireworks”, and “The Unspeakable War Plan”. Yes, that’s how it should be. Hurry up.
Before leaving Canaan, show him your cards before the other bad cats launch their attack!
"Girlfriend or War", "Victory of Galadia", yeah! Click them all and Griffith will become my puppet country, ah, my boyfriend!
Yes, that's right, before Sonia takes action, that officer sister must not be allowed to launch a thunderstorm offensive.
I will take down Griffith at the speed of lightning. A single boy like him is like a shaky house. A single kick can make him collapse!
Wow, that’s great!
After thinking about this, Galadia threw herself on the bed, buried her head in the pillow, and slapped the mattress with her right hand excitedly.
Suddenly I have a feeling that living here is one day less, a little nostalgic and a little sentimental. Maybe Griffith will come and take me away at some point. Oh, what am I thinking!
Galadia suppressed her random thoughts, covered her burning face and felt ashamed for a while, then stood up and walked to the bathroom. She felt that her whole body was weird and she needed to take a bath to relax.
"Lisa, can you bring me a nightgown?" She called to her maid, opened the bathroom door, and found that there was nothing prepared there, no hot water, no flower petals, no candles, and no favorites.
rose essential oil.
Hey~ everyone must have forgotten me! I said I would go home tonight, and I go home every night. Do I have to have my legs broken if I don’t come home at night?
Galadia opened the door unsatisfied and came to the corridor of the mansion.
"Lisa, where are you? Liz, are you there?"
The empty consul's palace answered her with an echo.
Isn't anyone here? They shouldn't be hiding somewhere to give me a surprise! Isn't my birthday still in a few days?
Galadia opened the doors to the study, bedroom and lounge on the second floor, but found no one.
"Everyone, come out quickly, I won't play anymore! I won't play anymore if I can't find you!"
"I'm serious! I'm not going to search all the rooms!"
Galadia came from the second floor to the living room on the first floor, which was always brightly lit. There were no lights in the busy hall and reception room, as if everyone had moved away from here, except for her.
.
This is where to play...
Galadia began to listen carefully. Her keen senses would quickly catch the slightest movement and find the bad guys who were preparing to play tricks on her.
I won't lose hide-and-seek! Oh, there was slight sobbing and movement in the room facing north.
Galadia walked over immediately. In the darkness and silence, she found a maid lying against the wall crying softly.
I found one. Galadia patted the maid on the shoulder: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
"Miss Galadia, you, you are back!" The maid turned around excitedly, her voice too old to be recognized. She covered her face and cried while saying: "Help me, save us!"
What, what's going on! Galadia took a step back. She didn't recognize the voice at all: "Who are you? Are you new?"
"I'm Lisa, I'm Lisa, Miss Galadia!" The maid rushed over and grabbed the elf daughter's arm with both hands, "I, I..."
The stars and the moon cast a bright light, shining on the face of the half-elf maid.
The maid who was supposed to be young and beautiful had bulging eyes, and her plump and round cheeks were only left with the outline of a decayed skeleton, and her wrinkled skin was peeling off like old tree bark. In just a moment, Galadia's
His arms and hands were already covered with fine ash-like debris.
"Ah ah!"
Galadia screamed. The sight she had never imagined frightened her and her mind went blank. She struggled to break free from the maid's hands and rushed into the side room in a panic.
"Boom!"
The door was closed heavily behind her. The heavy door and wall blocked the maid's cry, giving her a sense of peace.
What's going on, what's going on!? That's Lisa? We haven't seen her for just a day. Why does she look as old as an 80-year-old human? No, humans don't look like this either! No normal person sheds her skin!
Calm down, calm down. Galadia patted her chest. Her father and brother were nowhere to be seen. There must be something wrong at home. Don't panic. In short, contact my Griffith first to find a solution.
Yes, as long as Griffith shows up, things will get better.
Galadia rummaged around in the cabinet. This is the Archon's residence, and things like the echo crystal are easy to find! Griffith lives not far away, so you only need to use your mental power to search for it.
The ripple characteristics that have been known to each other for a long time can be connected.
"Hey, hey, Griffith, do you hear that!?"
"I heard what?"
"Great!" Galadia cheered, "Come to my house quickly, come to the Archon's Palace, don't ask why, come quickly, at full speed, if anyone stops you, just say it was me. The situation is not right, everyone is missing,
My maid turned into old tree bark, and I don’t know what happened!”
"Understood, within ten minutes."
Phew~ Galadia let out a long sigh of relief. This guy sometimes acts in a daze and is quite decisive in his actions. As long as Griffith appears, the situation will get better.
Suddenly, there was some movement in the corner of the room. Galadia's long pointed ears suddenly stood up, almost like a rabbit.
"Garadia, miss."
An old voice said.
"It's Miss."
"Miss is back."
"We are saved!"
Many old voices came out like a tide. Immediately afterwards, decadent and shambling figures emerged from the dark corners and walked towards this side.
Galadia's whole body was filled with excitement, and she even felt an extremely shameful urge to urinate. She clamped her legs together, pulled up her skirt and took a few steps back. Her teeth trembled, and she could not even speak.
"Miss, it's too late."
"Can't wait any longer!"
Old and decaying figures gathered from all sides and surrounded her. They were dressed in the clothes of servants, guards, guests, and even the gorgeous clothes of important people of the same clan. There was no doubt that they were acquaintances who had known each other day and night, but none of their faces could be recognized.
The skin like falling snow peeled off their bodies piece by piece. They walked forward, and then they disintegrated like branches that burned to ashes. In front of the girl, they turned into thick ashes on the ground, and disappeared as soon as the wind blew them.
There was no trace, not even the extraordinary characteristics were left behind.
This horrifying scene scared Galadia out of her wits.
"Griffith!"
"Dad! Brother! Where are you?!"
She screamed like a beaten wild cat, broke the glass, jumped out of the window, and fled into the garden.
The cold moon was high in the sky watching the elf girl running wildly in the garden.
