Chapter 145 The Maid of Silver Purple
The imperial capital, Titania.
Birds brought the breath of spring, and the emerald vines in the corners once again pulled out curved buds and slowly climbed along the delicate sandy walls.
In the new year, the royal family held a spring celebration as usual. Both the queen and the regent attended the palace square, and waved to everyone in the fluttering petals to show their closeness.
Outside the city, the tall city gate is enough for the war colossus to walk straight in, and there are still carvings and paintings from nearly a thousand years ago on the ancient door. The vines, flowers, butterflies, moon, and roses together outline a beauty like a fairyland, with the graceful and tactful elves, and the gorgeous style left over from the ancient Red Empire.
Now this tall door is slowly opening, and the caravans and pedestrians who have been waiting for a long time in the early morning enter the city one by one.
The carriages passed by, some of them full of goods, some of them were simple and crude with charcoal and firewood for burning, of course, there were also beautifully decorated carriages from time to time, but they went through another entrance. is clean and spacious.
The pale golden sunlight slanted on this blue field, and a noble carriage with copper horns slowly climbed up the hill. The two black horses pulling the carriage were very handsome, and they didn't seem to have much effort. The VIP was comfortable and deliberately slowed down.
"Hello." Seeing the carriage coming under the city gate, several guards in red still stood up and asked about the situation. This was the request of De Rosa, the commander of the guards.
"Hello, guards of the empire." The coachman was a decent housekeeper, greeting these guards with etiquette.
"Hello." Nodding briefly, then the guards asked the butler to come down and register.
"Count Gekuan?" Looking at the name and personal seal left by the butler on the booklet, several people glanced a little more curiously.
There are no more than 80 great nobles in the empire with earl titles. Over time, some prominent families can always be remembered.
Count Gekuan used to be the commander of the defense corps near the imperial capital. Unfortunately, he took the wrong team in the coup d'état and was later transferred from his position, no longer holding any military posts.
As the guards who have been stationed in Titenya for many years, they have naturally heard this name, but such memories are indeed a bit distant.
"Exactly." The butler nodded, without explaining which of the Earl's family members was in the carriage, then returned to the carriage and drove into the city.
Behind the glass windows in the car, there are two layers of curtains, one layer of white gauze and one layer of dark shade.
Behind the white gauze curtain, a pair of pupils observed the outside world, looked at the well-trained guard soldiers, and nodded slightly.
"Lord Elio, what do you think of these soldiers?" A pleasant voice rang in his ears as he observed with his pupils, and the gentle breathing made the young man a little restrained.
"Kelros, you're too close." He turned his head and looked at the charming witch sitting beside him. She had silver-purple hair and was wearing a delicate black and white maid dress. Looking at himself playfully.
"Oh, isn't this bad. I'm the young master's personal maid now, and I have to serve you in your daily life."
This witch seems to like this kind of role-playing game. She leaned down slightly and looked up at the handsome young man in front of her. The curve of her waist was outlined by the black and white maid skirt, which made people feel a kind of youthful and beautiful. .
"Okay, Cornos, don't tease Elio anymore." Another maid came over and pulled the witch's body up a little, letting her leave Elio's side.
"Thank you Sister Anna." Facing the maid, Elio finally relaxed as if he had met a big sister who was relied upon.
"Ana is always facing Elio, so he won't become mature." The Frozen Blue Witch who was pulled aside was slightly dissatisfied, sitting on the sofa opposite like an angry little girl.
"If maturity refers to skilled molesting and playing with women, it's better not to be that mature." Anna poured hot tea for Elio and Cornos, which had just been cooked with the equipment on the carriage.
The orange-red and transparent tea swirls slightly in the porcelain cup, exuding a faint fragrance, dispelling the chill of winter.
Cornos held the teacup and took a sip, looking at the street outside the window.
"It's still the same as before. The streets have not changed for more than 200 years." Although this witch looked young, she actually lived a long time.
"What was the empire like in the past?" Elio was also curious at this time.
"In the past? In fact, the difference is not that big from now. If I really want to say the difference, I am afraid there are fewer people. Many places will be very peaceful and peaceful, not as noisy as it is now." Kernos gently stirred the cup, occasionally still It's fun to tap with a spoon and listen to the crisp sound of the rim of the cup.
Looking at this girl who coexists with youth and maturity, making it difficult to simply evaluate her appearance, Elio feels that the witch is really an existence independent of her race.
They seem to have childlike moods and will be interested in many things, but under the seemingly innocent appearance, they also understand many long-standing truths, which are difficult to understand.
"Is Elio guessing my thoughts?" Cornos raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her.
The boy who was suddenly seen through his mind seemed a little embarrassed. He hadn't fully changed his identity. He was just like those children in the city. When facing such a beautiful woman, he was always a little shy and not good at growing up.
"Giggle~" Seeing Elio turning his face away, the witch with long silver and purple hair made a silver bell-like happy voice.
"Don't guess oh, I won't lie to you, I show that happy is happy, sad is sad, smile and eyes
Tears are as real as I thought. "This witch is just a simple narration, and the words are full of moving temptations.
"Because I'm a witch, not a girl, nor other women, I don't need to deliberately please anyone to distort what I want and think."
"It may be willful, but such a witch is also easy to understand, isn't it? If you want to pursue me, it's okay, I have a long life, and I will spend an interesting time with you." The witch gently sideways Her head and hair fell on the table, her silver eyes looked at the young man, and the fine sunlight shone on her through the curtains.
Elio looked at the silver-purple witch in the morning light, his heart seemed to be shaking, as if he wanted to agree to all her demands for a moment and spend the rest of his life with her.
"You can't watch it." A pair of gentle hands covered Elio's eyes from behind, freeing him from the temptation of the witch in front of him, and his body and mind gradually calmed down.
Annaliu covered Elio's eyes and looked at the witch in front of him alertly.
"Don't forget that although witches are blessings, they are also disasters." An ancient proverb spread across the continent.
