Chapter 024 The Countess

The moonlight was hazy, and the strong light of the moon forced the dark clouds to dare not approach.

Ike followed the old woman to meet the countess, the strange mother in Fia's mouth, and Linna mentioned the mysterious woman who always frowned.

At the same time, she is also the creator of Ike's second life. She pointed out that Ike's fate is destined to be inseparable from her.

Since Ike was bought back, the Countess has not had any interaction with Ike so far.Even her two daughters didn't mention the countess much, and Ike always had a thought in his mind that his fate might have changed because of the lady.

Seeing the old lady coming to pass the message now just confirmed my guess.

If the old lady hadn't given him medicine that day, he might have died at Fia's hands.Probably the countess asked her to do this. Looking at the old woman with the same expression, Ike looked forward to what the countess would be like.

There is Linna's gentleness, or Fia's enthusiasm.Ike thought that only when he actually saw the countess would he have a real answer to his thoughts.

The old lady stopped suddenly, pointed at the figure in the distance, and said, "That's Madam."

Ike followed her hand and saw a woman very similar to Linna.She stood on the jade bridge and looked up at the moon, but her eyes were covered by a layer of white cloth.The long silver-purple hair was almost to the waist, fluttering under the breeze.She was wearing a dark red qi master robe, with her hands on her chest.

If it weren't for her better temperament than Linna, Ike might have mistaken her for Linna and Fia's sister.It was such a mysterious and intimate woman who single-handedly took over his fate.

"It's Ike!" The Countess' voice was very soft, but she still turned her back to Ike and continued to look at the moon sky.

This reminded Ike of his mother. Every time he and his father came home, his mother would call out in this tone of affection.When Ike saw the countess, he thought of his mother.

The feeling of deja vu was very subtle, but the difference was that the mother could not have the temperament of the countess.

She is an ordinary woman, but at the last moment she risked her own life to protect her child's life.

Ike suddenly had a very strong idea in his heart. She was blindfolded by a pair of eyes that could see 500 years ahead and 500 years behind.Just by looking at someone, you can tell what will happen to that person in the future.

Maybe he thought too much, but he would rather think like this.He did not want such a beautiful and kind countess to be blind.

Ike, who was thinking about this, forgot to answer his wife's words. When he was about to answer, his wife had already come to him, reaching out her smooth hand to touch Ike's cheek.

For a domestic slave, it was hard to believe what the Countess was up to.But Ike is different after all. Even though he is only 17 years old, he also has a different taste.

"You've grown up!" the countess said in relief, "In my memory, you're still the skinny child you were back then. I didn't expect you to have grown so big."

Ike felt that saying this sentence was different from Madam's behavior just now.Ike was about to speak when Madam said flatly, "I really want to take a good look at you now. But I was blind three months ago, and you are the last person I've ever seen."

Hearing this sentence, Ike felt very uncomfortable. I don't know why the countess was blind, and Ike would feel sorry.Although he wouldn't force the idea of ​​"she's blind because of me" on his own head, he still thought of it a little bit, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"I heard that you participated in this slave meeting under the recommendation of Fia?" the countess asked.

"Yes!" Ike said this word. He wanted to say something, but he felt strongly that she should know everything.

A smile appeared on the corner of the Countess's mouth: "I heard that Linna wanted you to stay in the Earl's Mansion and use two years of outstanding performance in exchange for the status of a domestic servant. In comparison, which one do you prefer?"

Ike hesitated and said, "I..."

The countess reached out to hold his mouth, and the aroma on the palm alone was enough to choke Ike, 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 are all subconscious behaviors. Don't question it."

"Yes!" Ike said the word again.

The countess raised her head and looked at the moon sky again: "Are you wondering why I told you this? Do you have any doubts in your mind why I bought you in the first place? Do you have many thoughts, why did the mere house slave get the countess's money?" take care of?"

Ike listened to the countess's three questions in a row, and replied firmly: "Yes! I want to know!"

"There is no free benefit 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 in my head that keeps saying: 'I don't want to die! I want to live!'. That feeling is so strong that I can feel it, so I gave that strong wanting A chance for a living child. Then this child will be able to repay me in the future, not these. I think that child is different from others. I have taken a fancy to you, it's as simple as that. "

That child was Ike. Madam said it so bluntly, but Ike didn't feel that she was taking advantage of her.On the contrary, the Countess is more like looking for an excuse to make Ike believe that she helped Ike just so that Ike can repay her in the future.

Really?Because he couldn't see the countess' eyes, Ike didn't know what she looked like at this moment.But Ike could feel affectionately that that expression was very close to love.

The countess didn't continue to speak, and Ike also looked at the moon.The moon is really very 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.Sun Devouring Shenlu lay quietly in Ike's arms, he seemed to be well-behaved like a child.

"Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, don't forget, come on, let me preside over this important day for you." The countess seemed to remember it suddenly, but her words seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

Ike felt his nose sore, and listened carefully to what the Countess said.

The countess waved her hand, and then said: "Please allow me to replace your mother and perform the coming-of-age ceremony for you. You will throw away the innocence of the past, throw away the childish ideas, and become responsible and responsible. After the age of 17 You, you have to be a man who stands up to the sky!"

"Ike Bradine swears, from now on, he will be an upright man!" Ike said firmly, clutching his chest.

The countess pointed her head at him, as if she was staring at him, and said, "You don't need to hesitate about anything. When you want to make up your mind, you already have the answer in your heart. Then act boldly." do it!"

"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 achievements, don't forget your coming-of-age ceremony tonight, there are two more Watch."

"In the future, Ike is willing to go through fire and water for my wife!" Ike promised himself that he would stop crying after that time, but for some reason, his tears still couldn't help, sliding down his cheeks.

The madam responded to him with a smile raised at the corner of her mouth, as if she was expressing something, as if she was just smiling happily, watching the child grow up.
