Chapter 243

But she always thinks very simply.

A small clue, a simple keyword, can arouse her association and confirm her suspicion immediately, without having to explore the logical traps that follow.

"Although, although I also heard from the attendant who went there that day. After a few minutes of contact with Carver, he voluntarily left the scene with His Majesty. But I can guarantee that he..."

The guard didn't know why. When he saw Yi Aier today, he wanted to say more - even though this was forbidden to be disclosed to the public according to the palace rules. He wanted to use more words to persuade Yi Aier in front of him. .

because……

He was afraid of seeing this maid here again.

I always feel like I have an ominous premonition that the next time she comes, she will do something terrible.

So, he wanted to say the words of "judgment" faster——

"He probably doesn't want to have anything to do with the past anymore."

"!!!"

Yiel's eyes widened.

She suddenly felt that with each beat of her heartbeat getting faster and faster, her body became colder.

"...Why didn't he tell me personally?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I haven't seen him go out. But... he seems to have gone out with His Majesty today. At least that's what His Majesty told me."

"Yes...really?"

Yiel's tail drooped.

The animal ears on her head also drooped down.

It seemed that I understood in an instant why my mind had been restless since last night, my eyes had been wandering, and my thoughts had never been focused enough.

I also understood why I was obsessed with coming here.

In the past month, a month since she lost contact with Will, she seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago.

When I first remembered it, I was an "abandoned" half-orc, wandering in the forest with no end, that cold late autumn near winter.

It has been so long since now, but the memories of how to fight for food with wild beasts in the forest, how to take shelter under the poor leaves on rainy days, and how to avoid small forest fires one after another are all blurred.

But that "feeling" is still there.

Very cold.

There was cold moisture in the air, and every leaf that my toes touched was cold.

She hugged her tail tightly, but there was no way to keep warm by herself. If it weren't for her own adaptability to the ice attribute, she might not have been able to wait until she was discovered by the System family, or even wait until winter actually entered.

The towering trees above the head are like upright coffins, and everything under the canopy and leaves is viewed with the acquiescence that everything under the canopy must be dead when it bows its head.

She was the abandoned puppy that was placed in a poor wooden box without a top on the street.

The fur is dirty, curly, and messy.

His ears drooped and he looked like he wouldn't live long.

Curling up, unable to open his eyes, he looked expectantly but fearfully at everything outside the wooden box that served as his coffin.

As long as someone handed her food, as long as someone provided a small fire for warmth, as long as someone could touch her hair and tell her not to be afraid...

She would hug her tightly.

She really didn't want to go back to that time again.

Even if no one thinks she can "take charge of her own business"...

But in fact, as early as the afternoon when she first met the young master...

Before he even handed himself "Three Hundred Questions about Darkness"...

She already...

"Ma'am...are you...are you okay?"

The guard felt that the "coldness" around him seemed to have disappeared slightly, but relatively, the mood of Yiel in front of him seemed to have become a little weirder.

Yi Aier raised her head and realized that her hand was grasping her arm tightly, which looked particularly strange.

"Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"

"No."

Yiel shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

She already had "the answer."

Since the young master rejected him, shouldn't he bother him anymore?

So cold.

It's so cold that all the senses become clearer than before, and the slightest movement can bring an even more piercing experience.

Just when Yi'er stood up and was about to leave, she moved her nose and seemed to smell...

Familiar taste.

At this moment, she felt that the blood in her body suddenly became hot.

No, it can't be called familiar, because it can't be smelled many times - not too many times.

but……

It was a smell she would never forget after smelling it once.

As a canine creature, Will had emphasized to her more than once that her nose was a very valuable resource and that she should develop the ability to remember various smells from an early age.

only……

When her mind was occupied with other things, she would briefly smell the smell without analyzing it - because she found that her brain could only focus on one thing.

It was during the moment of relaxation that she analyzed the familiar smell.

It smells like a young master...

but……

It's the smell of his blood.

so……

It is a taste that is “unforgettable” and “rare”.

Yi'er opened her eyes wide and looked around. Not only were her eyes more focused, but her ears seemed to be able to hear every detail in the grass.

Master Will was a very precocious young master. When other children would fall flat on the ground after walking a few steps - even when they could hardly keep their balance, he seemed to have learned to walk in a balanced and elegant manner.

In addition, his athletic talent was indeed not strong, and he was rarely injured in sports.

Iaier had only... only smelled this smell when Will was burned when he first entered the city!

He exposed his injured arm and let himself lick it. There was such a smell on his arm.

It was a very strong smell of blood. It might be a very deep wound, or it might be a very important place that was injured, and the amount of bleeding was very, very heavy.

She stopped and began to turn her head around to look for it. She raised her head so that her nose could touch a wider space and smell more air.

"Master?! Master, are you here? Where are you? Iaier... Iaier is very worried, you... you should show up soon."

Here.

In this direction.

In this bush.

She staggered over, and the smell of the injured Will's blood in her nostrils made her blood flow faster, as if she had been sitting in a sauna room for a whole morning!

The smell she just smelled was right there...

Yi Ai'er knelt down gently, and used her hands to pry open the words, and what she saw there was...

296.

"Question... Two Hundred and Ninety-six."

She didn't need to think with her brain, and the moment she saw the number was enough to mobilize her whole body's conditioned reflexes, and she began to recite the contents of "Three Hundred Questions of Blackening" word by word.

Because every time the young master wrote a number in front of her, he would tell her that when she saw the number in the future, she would subconsciously recite the content of each item.

To do this, only in this way can she get that "true love" in the future.

"If... If..."

Her heart was jumping, the corners of her mouth were rising wildly, her tail was shaking uncontrollably, and the ears on her head stood up again.

She could even feel that the "severe cold" around her was disappearing little by little.

"What would you do if the person you love joins hands with other women... or even other 'species' to force you into a desperate situation?"

Word for word.

Iai'er, who even remembered the punctuation marks written by Will clearly, recited this sentence with a trembling voice.

Yes!

That's right!

The young master who left this string of hints on the ground with his own blood definitely did not forget Iai'er, the little maid.

Because because because because because because because --

This is a secret between her and Will -- only she can recite the entire "Three Hundred Questions on Blackening", only she can do it. When Will writes down a number, she will understand its meaning.

And that heavy book that Iai'er turned over and over again is the only one in the world. Iai'er has searched all the bookstores in the entire capital of Entak, but he has not found the second book that Will wrote for her alone.

"First...ha...ha...believe one thing, he...he can't hate you, he can't fall in love with someone else and abandon you."

Yes!

That's it, she understood what the young master wanted to say!

"Secondly, find the woman standing next to him and beat her up."

She stopped panting and trembling. Because as a maid who had been trained by Will for many years and was extremely strong in both physical and magical strength, she would never keep panting for such a small matter.

"Finally, take back the person who loves you, and protect him well... so that he will never hate you."

"Well, Iaier knows what you mean, young master!"

"You love Iaier."

"You need Iaier."

"You are eager for Iaier to save you."

"As long as you always need Iaier, Iaier will always be here, just like before, as your dog, okay?"

She raised her head.

It was so warm today.

She couldn't feel any severe cold.

It was as if the winter that kept approaching her and torturing her finally ended at this time.

It's just...

Under her feet, every step she took set off a layer of ripples and brought a thin layer of ice flowers.

"Oh, and take the shield in the car."

"Because if he finds out that I didn't bring the gift he gave to Iel."

"Will he be sad?"

"Iel, I don't want the young master to cry."

At this moment, in a certain Systrom family villa in the capital-

Carver Systrom walked out of the three-story villa, took off the small hat on his head, and calmly got on the luxurious carriage
