Chapter 69 The Truth
pat pat
A tall horse carried Angoli's delicate and ordinary petite body on its back, galloping at high speed on the grass, trampling on the fallen horse's hooves, flying up pieces of grass clippings and muddy water, as if announcing the strength of its back. The determination in the heart of the master——

"When did it start? This feeling"

Bouts of icy rain continuously slapped on An Geli's face, and her fair skin also appeared pale and bloodless because of the cold. Her petite and frail body seemed unable to bear the bone-piercing cold, and was trembling subconsciously— —

"It's so cold"

At this moment, An Geli is like a white rabbit struggling in the cold winter, curled up to hide in the bone-piercing ice and snow, every skin and bone in her body is trembling constantly
And all she can do is try her best to bend down her body, relying on the heat remaining on the horse's back as much as possible to ensure that her body will not become stiff——

"It's really cold"

A gust of icy cold rain mixed with the whistling gust of wind, seemed to represent 'death', constantly absorbing the remaining warmth of An Geli's skin.

But An Geli didn't have any hesitation or fear in her heart, because she felt that the same thought was always surging in her body, heart, and mind——

"Must see him!"

Although she also knows very well that her own power is so insignificant, even a kind of heinous and ridiculous!

If I am caught by them, I will end up with a nightmare that I don't want to face
A horrible nightmare from which one cannot wake up!
However, there is a voice in the beating heart that is struggling to surge, this voice keeps shouting, roaring, and calling——

"We must find him!"

In the end, this sound drove him to take advantage of the gap where other people were not paying attention, untied the reins from the steed, and stepped onto the steed
"Obviously I know that in a 'reasonable' situation, I should choose a 'better' option"

"But."

"It seems that something in my heart is pulling my fingers, making me make this choice"

"Perhaps, this is the 'emotion' that finally defeated 'reason'."

Pieces of torrential rain kept pouring down on Angeli's long golden hair, knocking it into a mess, and the smooth and silky hair was completely soaked by the cold rain, clinging to her like an octopus. On the slightly pale skin, strands of hair that were not sticky were blown by the raging wind from time to time.

A dense rain curtain gradually blurred her field of vision, but made the gaze in her eyes more firm, as if she recalled the original scenes——

inside the carriage
The dim light brought by the continuous burning of short candles illuminated the two people who seemed to be in an ambiguous posture with each other.

At this moment, Aaron stretched out his hand to pick An Geli's chin, and asked with a wicked look on his face:
"It seems that I have never offended you, right? Miss An Geli, why do you choose to target me everywhere?"

It seems that Aaron has made up his mind to ask clearly. He is quite brooding about the reason why An Geli has been looking for her 'trouble'.

And the only answer to this question was An Geli's faltering whisper——

"I just don't like you, can't I?!"

"No way!!!"

Inside Viscount Steve's Castle

An Geli was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying the comfort brought by the warm sunshine. At this moment, the door of the study room was gently pushed open, and a handsome boy with black hair and red pupils walked in, causing An Geli to look at him involuntarily. past--

The eyes of the two met, and An Geli couldn't help but "panicked" a little. Relying on years of "experience", she immediately put on a flawless "cold" posture, and at the same time signaled the other party with her eyes— —

"You'd better get out of this clean study for me, and don't make it dirty, you dirty servant."

The other party was also taken aback, and then he seemed to understand, slightly frowned his handsome eyebrows, gave An Geli a deep look with his pale red eyes, and closed the door gently with his backhand in a very graceful manner, without choosing to say anything more about it .

Next, the black-haired boy walked up to the bookshelf, holding a book in his hand, and began to carefully compare the arrangement numbers on the bookshelf. It seemed that he was looking for the "original position" of the book. It should be a Soldiers who came to return the books.

An Geli's eyes fell on the long cross sword tied around the black-haired boy's waist, and a hint of envy flashed across her face involuntarily—

"very nice."

"You can have a strong body and force, and you can live an adventurous life freely."

A ray of bright and soft sunlight fell on the face of the black-haired boy. The handsome and outstanding facial features matched with the clearly visible grains of white dust in the surrounding air, as well as the focused and serious expression, filled his body with a Fascinating dreamy atmosphere.

An Geli couldn't help being startled, as if to break the tranquil atmosphere, and to stop the black-haired boy from being so intoxicated by the things in front of him, she couldn't help but 'sarcastically' say:

"The bookshelf on the left, the third row, the second position, is where the book in your hand should be."

The black-haired boy was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, as if his brain hadn't 'reacted', and he searched slowly for a long time before he found the place where the book should be, and with this 'stupid' look, It caused an inexplicable smile on the corner of An Geli's mouth that she didn't even notice——

"Fool"

At this moment, in An Geli's view, the black-haired boy probably realized his 'stupidity', so after putting away the book, he turned around and bowed to An Geli, and then he left in a hurry it's -

"You idiot, why are you walking so fast?"

Thinking of this, An Geli pouted her mouth angrily, as if to prove that although she was poor in physique, she still had some merits, like a child pouting—

"To prove that I am no worse than 'him'"

So, An Geli opened her lips and teeth lightly:

"This kind of uneducated soldier, even if you point him to the place, you have to find it for a long time, heh~, how stupid."

An angry and 'disdainful' voice echoed in the study
On the night of the incident in the outskirts of the village,
Inside Viscount Steve's Castle

An Geli walked slowly on the deep red carpet in the corridor. When she turned a corner, she suddenly found a young soldier covered in blood standing not far ahead——

"Father's territory may have changed."

This was An Geli's first thought, and the young soldier also saw An Geli's figure, and immediately leaned aside respectfully, even though his hair was covered with dry blood, and his body was covered with blood. An aura of returning from a bloody battle, but still showed the proper 'etiquette'.

An Geli smelled the pungent smell of blood——

"This is a testament to meritorious service"

"He's not as weak as myself. On the contrary, he looks so brave and strong even though he is so young. And he is just a weak man who is wasting food in the castle, and has no effect on the territory."

Probably disgusted by her own inaction, and like a child who doesn't want to admit defeat, when she passed by the other party, she finally couldn't help but sneer:
"Leave as soon as you're done, don't make this place dirty."

After she finished speaking, she left in a hurry, like a child who was ashamed of talking big to others, she walked away quickly with small steps——

pat pat
The sound of lovely footsteps kept echoing in the corridors of the castle, just as she was quickly 'fleeing'.

Boom~!

A thunder came from outside the window of the castle, making her stop involuntarily, and looked out of the window——

sky, it's raining
pat pat
The tall horse was galloping fast on the muddy ground with its petite body on its back.

An Geli, who was bouncing on her horse, slowly raised her head against the heavy rain, and opened a pair of wet eyes full of water stains. She couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and they mixed into a firm gaze.

It seemed that at this moment, she finally understood her true heart——

"I was told that it was just a 'deal' between you and me."

"But there's always something burning inside of me because it reminds me—an answer."

There seemed to be flames burning in An Geli's eyes, she slightly opened her pale lips, and murmured softly:

"You once asked me why I was looking for your 'trouble', looking for your 'trouble' over and over again, and looking for your 'shortcomings' again and again, that's because"

because
because
because
"Because I just want your 'attention'"

"Because I just want your 'attention'!!!"

"I just wish you could 'pay attention' to me more."

"That's all"

An Geli seemed to be crying out in her heart, and as if she had broken through the shackles she had been holding all along, she raised her whip and lashed the steed fiercely, and yelled at the steed:
"Drive~!"

The steed seemed to sense the thoughts of its owner on its back, and neighed vigorously. The horse's hooves under its feet moved three points faster again, bringing a spiral of 'raincoat' and pouring it around, which also reflected An Geli's firm and decisive eyes— —

"No matter what awaits me ahead, whether it's a nightmare or a hell, no matter what, I will"

"I'll find you—"

"Aaron!"
