HP Bella's Lie

05 - mylord, my dear

Bella sent Riddle to bed after taking a shower, tucked in the quilt, and said to him: "I know you still have a lot of questions. But we have plenty of time, so go to bed today, okay?"

Riddle, who was lying on the soft bed, was uncharacteristically well-behaved like an angel: "Well, good night."

"Good night." Bella couldn't help kissing his forehead.

Then exit the room.

Riddle stared at the ceiling for a long time, as if a flower had grown there.

——All of this...is not surprising.He knew early on that he was different.Will someone prove it, himself perhaps, perhaps his father - though it turns out to be his wife?But this small deviation is harmless.

It should be said that the day he had been looking forward to for a long time had finally arrived.

—That's how it should be, isn't it?

But why can't I sleep?Isn't this a matter of course - one day, rich relatives will take him back to his world in a glorious way, so he shouldn't be surprised by it.Why can't I sleep, why can't I calm down, why...

Riddle touched the place where Bella had just kissed, as if her warmth was still there.

……feel good.

He thought about it in a daze, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When Bella came to her room, the scene of bathing with Riddle was still lingering in her mind-it was not a voluptuous picture.

Life in the orphanage is not good. Not only is Riddle often hungry, but he is often punished by Mrs. Cole because of the magic riots—the confinement is the lightest, and Mrs. Cole has never been soft on these orphans without parents—maybe She used to have a soft-hearted era, but poverty froze her kindness--Riddle's body is full of traces of violence, which is based on the fact that Mrs. Cole stopped physically punishing him since Bella's last visit In fact, some minor injuries have healed naturally with the passage of time, and Mrs. Cole did not dare to starve him during this time, so Riddle's body shape and skin barely looked like a normal child.

It's just that those old wounds will not heal in a short time.Because Bella didn't know, she hurt him several times in the shower, but Riddle just frowned and endured it without a trace, without saying a word.

Bella had never seen such a... poignant side of the lord.

From the moment she knew him, he was so powerful and inviolable, aloof and full of majesty, even if the traversal failed, he was never underestimated.He is the kind of existence that even if he fails, even if he is downcast, even if he is embarrassed, he will only make the enemy fearful.

No one has seen his youthfulness, no one dares to imagine his weakness.

How honored she is to see everything at this moment.But Bella was not happy at all, she was only angry, angry at those who dared to hurt him, angry at her ignorance of it, and above all at her own inability to do anything.

It turned out that he was once so fragile, it turned out that he was once so helpless.

Bella pulled out a silver strand of memory from her brain, melted it into the ink, picked up the quill pen and dipped it in, and wrote down this short memory on the parchment herself.

mylord, my... dear.

She wrote so—more piously than ever.

——I found myself really beginning to accept this fabricated title.

……

Recently, a rumor has spread in a residential area in London. It is heard that a low-key lady has moved into the community.Although she only bought a certain unit in an inconspicuous residential building, keen neighbors noticed that she had a special car to pick her up every time she traveled, and several knowledgeable witnesses confirmed that the lady's Although the clothes are low-key, but the materials are excellent, generous and simple, it is definitely a rich family who hides their secrets.

When people are chatting in their free time, they will always say the last sentence: "In these days, there are not many such low-key nobles and rich people."

Because of this, when Bella led Riddle to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, he received countless curious and friendly eyes wherever he went.

Bella changed into a dark purple short-sleeved long dress, and held a dark umbrella in silk gloves. She led a well-dressed and delicate boy, walking on the road in the residential area, which was particularly eye-catching.The women chatting on the street almost confirmed at a glance that she was the lady in the rumors. When they saw Riddle at the side, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"It's really beautiful, which noble young master is it? Could it be the lady's child?"

"Maybe, it's very possible. But the rich family has a lot of relatives, and it may not necessarily be the children of the cousin's family."

"No matter what, he must be another young master who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth."

"That's right. It would be great if Alice in my family could marry such a husband."

"Oh, what are you thinking! How old is that kid?"

"Ha ha……"

Neighbors in the neighborhood just whispered, not daring to come forward to strike up a conversation.Thanks to this, they didn't hit the gun - Bella was not in a good mood.

She has never been in contact with the Muggles in this community. Appreciating their technological civilization does not mean appreciating individual individuals. In Bella's eyes, this group of Muggles is still despicable—especially when she learned what happened to Riddle This view became even more firm in the future—this time she brought Riddle out to familiarize herself with the environment, and it was also the first time for her to see the whole picture of the community. She never expected to be so much noticed by Muggles. experience.

Riddle had practiced the ability to observe words and emotions in the orphanage since he was a child, but later he simply gave up on himself because of the magic riot, and now he slowly picked it up again: "Are you in a bad mood, Bella?"

"No, I'm fine." Bella shook his hand, "You have to get familiar with this place, I want to pave the way for your future - since Merlin brought me back to this time, I can't live up to what I know Those futures. So, I'm sorry, I may not be able to drive you to school every day."

"What's the matter. Did you plan to take me to school every day?" Riddle said with a little pride and a little self-deprecating, "I grew up in an orphanage, and I am best at adapting to the environment. You just need to tell me the school Name, I can find it alone. Don't underestimate your future husband, Bella, even if he is only seven years old."

Someone's long-standing prestige made Bella instinctively want to express her loyalty when she was questioned for a moment, but the next second she realized that the young devil just wanted to comfort her-for this reason, he even admitted his husband's identity!

"Oh..." Bella was so moved that she wanted to hug him and kiss him fiercely, but her reason prevented her from doing stupid things, "I mean, you don't have to push yourself too hard, in every sense."

Riddle shook his head and found that her reaction was a bit strange, but he found Bella in such an embarrassment a little cute.He only hesitated for a moment, and then showed a flawless innocent smile: "I forgot to tell you one thing, Bella - you are very beautiful today."

As he expected, Bella turned red into a ripe apple.

Riddle smiled even more innocently.
