Angel on earth

Harry is 16 years old.

Some customs of the Edwards family have brought very troublesome results. For example, according to Arnold's medical theory, in a marriage relationship, it is better for a wife to be older than her husband. Harry's mother Catherine is five years older than his father Roberto age.

If it is said that the girls in the family may successfully marry their husbands who are three years younger than themselves because of the support of the Marquis Edwards, the boys have very few choices.The average age of engagement for Noren aristocratic women is about 14 years old, while that for men is 15 years old, and they basically get married every other year.Of course, the boys in the Edwards family also have the right to love freely, but when they reach the age of sixteen or seventeen, it is very difficult to find an unmarried girl who is three years older than themselves.

Harry was lucky.Four years ago, Noren's second princess, Dinah, came to the Emerald City with Queen Maria of Velus Island to hunt in the Amexist Forest.Dinah, who was 16 years old at the time, fell in love with Harry at first sight, and rejected the marriage contract arranged by her parents when she returned home.Harry also liked her very much, and she was willing to leave the City of Oath and marry to the Emerald City, nothing could be better than that.

Maria is the queen of Verus Island and a saint of Lieyang City. She is usually very busy, but at that time she still came forward to match the young couple.It would have been two years, but considering Princess Dinah's status, Harry will be engaged to her by the end of this year.

Aaron is also 14 years old, but still a little unhappy.It is said that it is the end of the year, and there are only a few good days. Harry will inherit his father's position in the future, and Dinah is also Noren's princess, so why not hold a ceremony on his birthday.

But he didn't show it, and he was more happy for his brother.He has been preparing for it since last year. For this reason, he skipped class and went to the Church of First Awakening to find Father Mikhail, begging him to help write a piece of music suitable for his brother's wedding.Father Mikhail is a good man, you can see that.After all these years, he was exactly the same as when he first arrived, as only a saint can do, and he was even a novice minister.

On this day, Aaron thanked Father Mikhail as usual, took a basket of flowers from him, kissed each other on the cheek to say goodbye, and rode back to the Emerald City on a short path.Aaron always felt that Mikhail knew that he had escaped secretly, so he gave him some herbs or flowers every time, so that he could have an account with his parents when he went back; the young priest never cheated on his family. taught him a lesson.

The 14-year-old Aaron is considered tall among his peers. After all, the Emerald City is located in the northeast of Noren, close to the Devil's Plateau. The perennial cold weather requires the residents here to grow tall.But every time he saw Mikhail, he was a little discouraged, and he could feel a little more balanced when he went back and looked at Harry and Lily.

He put on a cloak, rode a brown pony, and galloped across the blue-black grass in a good mood.The clear and icy wind was like flowing ice, and the smell of green grass and cooking smoke poured into his hair and collar, making him cry a few times in the cold, urging the pony to speed up.

There are guests at home.

Aaron saw more than 50 new horses in the stables, most of them were Behet horses that the nobles of Aerys liked, and there were even two unusually tall Giant horses.He knew at a glance that there were saints coming, and he was relieved, thinking that his parents must not have time to teach him a lesson today.

He didn't expect that the guests had just entered the hall, and Roberto and Catherine were about to receive them.Seeing his father's helpless but more serious gaze, Aaron swallowed, rolled his eyes, and found a figure with curly hair reaching his waist and a white robe falling to the ground in the crowd. On blondes:

"Grandma Isabella!"

Now Roberto had nothing to say.Grandpa Arnold is long gone, but Grandma Isabella of all of them, living as a saint, now looks to be Princess Dinah's age.Moreover, everyone knew that Aaron was her favorite great-grandson, whom she loved so much.In other words, she stayed in Lieyang City all year round and seldom went home, otherwise Aaron would have been spoiled and turned into an annoying playboy.

"Aaron." The girlish saint brushed her long hair, lifted the boy off her body, and said with a smile, "Are you doing something bad again?"

"No!" Aaron replied, raised the basket in his hand, and opened his mouth to lie, "I dreamed about you last night, so I just went out to pick your favorite sparkle orchids, foxtail lilies, and tulips ..."

As he spoke, he wondered if Mikhail had dreamed about it, otherwise how could he just prepare these things for him. Unexpectedly, the last sentence caught his mother's attention:

"Where do tulips come from in the wilderness? This is the Emerald City, not the Garden of Nations!"

Aaron felt that he was not lying in a sense: "The sun god gave it to his saints."

Isabella poked his forehead with a smile, turned his shoulders away, raised her head and said with a little apology:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Hill. Aaron is still young, and he won't inherit the family business in the future. It is inevitable that he is more fun than Harry."

"It's all right, Your Majesty Isabella."

A youth about Harry's age, but more flamboyantly dressed, replied politely.He had come with Isabella, and beside him was a boy who was shorter than himself and who looked a good deal like him.Both of them are handsome and beautiful, with typical blond hair and blue eyes of the Snow White Plateau race.

Aaron stopped making trouble now, and said with some embarrassment:

"Aaron Young Edwards. Sorry, Your Highnesses."

The boy nodded and replied, "Nothing."

Isabella patted him on the head, and Aaron hurried to join Harry and Lily in the corner.Lily's pale green eyes had a nasty, sly look, and Aaron knew she was going to laugh at him, so he snorted and lifted his chin.

However, when they sat down to talk, the three brothers and sisters were still not kicked out.Aaron, Lily and a few cousins ​​stood obediently aside, actually wanting to hear what the adults were talking about; Harry had no choice but to stay and watch them.

Isabella sat at the head, and the Edwards family and the royal brothers sat on either side of her.After the servants had served tea and left, she nodded to Roberto:

"Let me re-introduce His Highness Hill Quinnessy of the Duchy of Iris Quinnessy and his younger brother, His Highness Stanley Quinnessy."

"Hi. I will trouble you this time, Marquess Edwards." Hill Quinnessy stood up and shook hands with Roberto.

"Hello. This is what we should do."

Roberto waited for him to sit down before sitting down, glanced at Isabella, considered his tone, and looked at the young man opposite:

"Excuse me, Your Highness, I think you are visiting because of your younger brother, His Highness Stanley's illness? He has not spoken, and he has not responded to the surrounding environment. However, with all due respect, for such spiritual problems disease, Emerald City’s ability is not as good as Lieyang City’s.”

Isabella knocked on the table, glanced at Hill, and said: "The first half is exactly like this, Roberto. I have tried it, but nothing can be done. And His Highness Hill heard that you treated me seven years ago A special patient, whose limbs and parts of organs are all transplanted, wants to come here for a try.”

"Is that so?" Roberto looked at Hill suspiciously, "So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Hill pressed his lips tightly, and it took a long time before he spoke:

"I want to ask you...to give Stanley a heart."

Although she had expected it a long time ago, Isabella was as shocked as everyone else.

Just then, Stanley Quincy, who had been holding his brother's hand like a puppet, turned his distinctive steel-blue eyes and looked at Aaron motionlessly.

Hill was also taken aback by his sudden movement, and looked at him expectantly.After a long time, Stanley suddenly grinned and folded his hands on his heart:

"My heart, for you."

For some reason, upon hearing this sentence, Aaron felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He trembled and took a step back. His mind went blank for a while before he heard his own voice:

"……what?"

Stanley closed his eyes, looking a little sad:

"Give my heart to you, and you won't die. I still have many, many healthy bodies."

Catherine's face became ugly, and Hill also knew that his younger brother had said something rude, so he quickly pulled Stanley and raised his voice slightly to divert Edwards' attention.

"...That's it, Lord Edwards. Eight years ago, Stanley and I traveled according to the customs of our country. In the Gospel Forest, we met a gentleman who was seriously injured and dying. His limbs were broken, his throat was burned, and he couldn't speak. , with an iron sword stuck in his chest, but he miraculously survived. We didn’t know medical skills, and there were no people around at that time, so we could only feed him some water. But, everyone, it’s not that I brag or brag about my brother, But Stanley has always been a kind boy. I got up to drink water in the middle of the night and saw him kneeling beside the man praying. At that time he said these words: 'Lord, I would like to give my heart to this gentleman , please make him well. As for me, I am young, and everything else is healthy.'

"He said it three times in a row, as if he was really talking to the Lord and making a promise. May the sun god forgive me, I didn't notice anything wrong at first, thinking it was just an ordinary devotional prayer. But the next morning, the gentleman disappeared. But Stanley fell asleep for three days. He woke up three days later and had no memory of what happened that night, but nothing else was wrong. So we continued to travel and returned after completing the test task of the father. .And two years ago, Stanley gradually stopped talking, and now it is difficult to react to me. The father, the king, and the mother have searched for doctors and mages, and even invited saints, but they are helpless. Finally , Her Highness Isabella suggested that we come to the Emerald City, because here is the best doctor in the world."

Roberto's left middle finger tapped on the armrest intentionally or unintentionally, and the emerald on his thumb glowed dimly under the candlelight.After listening, he thought about it and said:

"Your Highness Hill, thank you for your trust, but I still ask for your understanding here. Catherine and I will do our best to treat His Royal Highness Stanley, but since we have never seen such a case, it is difficult to promise you anything. In fact . . . I think I may have seen the gentleman you just mentioned, and also witnessed his sudden disappearance on the third day, exactly seven years ago."

Hill stood up abruptly, staring at the table with his eyes wide open, his mind full of shrieking screams, and after a while he sat down slowly under Isabella's comfort.

Catherine found the opportunity and gave the butler Vincent a rather stern wink. Vincent immediately went forward to drive out the children who were eavesdropping and told them to go to the garden to play with Nana.

Aaron: As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's Lily who is embarrassed! (X)

The time behind the narrow gate is discontinuous and out of sync with reality.The experience of Stanley here is the reason why Saint Stanley lost his heart when he entered the narrow gate when he was a child.He's a saint because of his choices here, but also a pervert because he doesn't have a heart.Hill is a normal person, but more or less, brother control.And they are fellow villagers with Snow White. In the real timeline, after the Quincy Kingdom fell, the two brothers went to Lieyang City to seek protection, entered the narrow gate and became saints.
