Angel on earth

He took off his gloves, but Arnold pouted and left.He grabbed the gloves and chased after him in two or three steps, followed the doctor and bowed his head and said, "I just, this is my obligation and responsibility, Rollins is not here, I have to, I have to do this well, but questioning and testing , I am not good at it. Now that you are innocent, I will tell Rollins my judgment and ask him not to come to you again. I am the chief and he made a mistake. I have the power to give orders. Forgive me, Doctor! But I have not deceived—”

"You don't want to lie to me?" Arnold said lightly, and Mikhail's pretty face turned red all of a sudden:

"...Sorry, I lied to you. I did put on some disguises to test you. But most of the time, basically, I am sincere. I like you, doctor, and you are better than most people in the world, even the Holy See Most of you are fine. Forgive me, Doc. All I did was to get you out of Rollins' trouble."

Arnold kicked a stone, and the stone didn't roll very far, but he found that the sole of his shoe was broken.

It's a pair of new shoes.He grunted, looked up and smiled: "It's nothing, I fully understand your work, Your Highness."

Mikhail went further: "Misha."

"Okay, Misha."

Mikhail cheered up, and looked down at him as he walked, not paying attention to his impolite attitude of only looking at the road: "I was originally from the Siegfried Federation, and my brothers told me so. You were born, baptized, and educated in Yangcheng, why are you in Potosi?"

Arnold raised his clean and neat eyebrows: "Is this curiosity or temptation?"

Mikhail was quite frustrated, even his shoulders collapsed slightly: "Just chatting casually."

So Arnold dryly drew out his good civil defense that he had said countless times in Potosí:

"My ancestors belonged to the Kingdom of Baal, and I went to the port of Glazov to do shipping business-serious business, not a privateer, Baal didn't... probably didn't. I grew up in the port of Glazov, and when I was studying, I provoked As an earl, I just went abroad for refuge, and I will go back whenever my family receives a letter. I can't kill the whole family just because of me."

Mikhail looked at him: "Do you want to go home? I can help you. Now that the Commonwealth has returned to Mithras, everything has changed, and serfdom has become history. Everyone can start over. Live like the church, like the brothers and sisters of Noren and Aerys Kingdom. As a saint, I can write you a letter, and no one will trouble you when I go back. You are a righteous man, I..."

During his first sentence, Arnold froze in place.Mikhail suddenly found that the young doctor was always very stiff, and even the lines on his face softened only when facing Catherine—he seemed to be a different person at that time, something Mikhail couldn't understand Something inexpressible rose up in him, a quality that seemed more real in Arnold than in Isabella.

"Your eyes are so beautiful, Arnold." On the silent street, Mikhail tilted his head involuntarily, and softly praised dreamily, "I have seen the most beautiful eyes in the world on Isabella's earrings." Even those emeralds are not as pretty as your eyes. It's a pity you have to wear glasses."

Arnold's expression twisted for a moment, and he was about to answer when a loud bang interrupted his train of thought.

Unconsciously, he crushed the wooden handle of the medicine box.The medicine box fell to the ground with a bang, and a few wooden thorns pierced into the palm.

"...Sorry, this medicine box has been with me for a long time. It must have been broken in the forest. Ah, it's okay, Your Highness, there is no blood. Thank you."

Arnold recovered and accepted Mikhail's proposal to help him carry the medicine box.After thinking about it, he added: "Our family is devout Sun God believers, er, my sister is not very devout, she is very similar to Miss Catherine, but she doesn't have any other beliefs..."

Mikhail's young and immature face showed an uncontrollable embarrassment, but unconsciously straightened his back and raised his chin: "Your family will not be harmed by the church. We have always treated our brothers and sisters well." .The Commonwealth will be better led by God the Father. There will be no wars, no dead children, no disease and hunger, no insults and injuries. Well, I think we will."

"That's the kingdom of heaven." Arnold laughed, which looked a bit like a sneer, and made Mikhail frown aggrievedly. "Most people in the world are bad things that don't deserve to enter the kingdom of heaven. Your Highness, you are so merciful."

"You make fun of me!" Mikhail said firmly, "You think I'm thinking too simply. Like Rollins, you think I'm young and ignorant. But what's wrong? Don't try anyone I don't know if it will work or not."

"No mistake. Of course not. You are the kindest person I have ever met. Ah, no, I forgot." Arnold laughed again in his usual volume, and led Mikhail around a corner, "Are you —Hey, we're the only two awake here, tell me, Misha. Are you...the 'angel who walks on the ground'?"

Mikhail blushed again.He followed Arnold for a while before saying shyly, "I don't know."

Arnold raised his eyebrows, not surprised: "Why?"

"Others, the priest and Rawlins, they all say that I am." Mikhail looked up at the moon blankly, "but I don't think I am. If it refers to the son of God, we are not all His children Is it? I don't have the power of an angel, let alone the character of an angel. I'm working hard, practicing fighting and spells, and changing my character, but the angel..."

He couldn't go on.Arnold regretted mentioning this, and encouraged him vaguely: "Maybe it's because you haven't grown up yet. You're still growing up at the age of 16. You can tell when you're older. You're already good enough now."

"Thank you, Dr. Arnold.—Is the Lower Borough ahead?"

"There's still some way to go, but it's about the same. There's a section here, mostly on the other side of the river, against the city wall."

"No one. Chalek has done a good job in this area. At least he has his own house at night. When I went to Noren four years ago, many poor people could only sleep in the park. They laughed at me. Well, the environment There's room for improvement, I'll call the Abbey to have a look tomorrow. Arnold, I don't understand..."

Mikhail thought for a while and said sadly: "I don't understand. I have never understood the matter of the poor and the rich. I think poverty is not a disease, and even if it is, it should belong to us, not the poor. Why not Can you distribute so much wealth in Lieyang City to the poor and suffering people in the world?"

"You don't need to understand." Arnold comforted him, "You just need to maintain your purity and kindness to save our souls. In this matter, you have the freedom to choose."

Mikhail wanted to say more, but finally kept his mouth shut.

Arnold jumped over a puddle, saw that he almost stepped into it, and asked him casually how he trained to walk so straight, he was still walking on the path before.Mikhail looked even more upset, and quickly shook his head to stop thinking.Arnold was too lazy to meddle in the church's business, but he glanced up, and asked out of nowhere: "What's the matter? Anyway, only I can hear it. I swear to you, if I talk nonsense, His Excellency Rollins will come to see you off tomorrow." I'm going to the stake."

Unexpectedly, Mikhail really complained like this:

"Doctor, you are a righteous man, and so is Rawlins, but he has too much control, don't tell him. When the Siegfried Federation was fighting, it was a good thing that I rushed to the forefront. Our companions will be safer. But every time I am stationed in those towns, Rollins will ask me to go out on the streets. Don’t look at the locals, especially the so-called nobles. Don’t be curious, they will see you from your eyes Find out the threads used to weave rumors; keep your back straight, walk straight, better crush those poor cursed floor tiles, so that those weak heathen will respect our father; meet not fresh Don’t eat bad food, otherwise it will make them despise the church and offend the dignity of God the Father...there are too many rules. And it’s very boring, I don’t...uh, I should understand, um.”

Arnold stopped at the front gate of the clinic.He turned sideways, raised his head and said sincerely, "I forgive you, Misha. I fully understand that you are not pretending to be innocent."

The doctor took the medicine box from the young knight's arms, walked into the courtyard without looking back, opened the door, and waved good night halfway through, Mikhail heard him yawn.

Didn't he invite me to stay overnight?Am I saying something wrong?

Mikhail stood outside the yard in a daze, thinking in a daze, it was very late, the doctor ran a trip in the forest, treated Ethan and Beto, and walked back, he must be very tired.One should not demand etiquette when one is extremely tired.Ah, I didn't think well, why didn't Emile go down the mountain with him to send him home?

His eyes are so beautiful.What would it be like under the sun?Isabella's drop earrings will have different luster under different light sources, will Arnold do the same?

A thicket of lilacs flooded a section of the hedge and smelt rich and sweet around Mikhail's legs.Mikhail squatted down in the cool mist of the summer night, and stretched out his hand to one of the branches, but saw two pairs of big shining eyes staring at him from among the flowers. jumped up.

This is theft!An attempt to usurp the property of the righteous without their consent!Mikhail was terrified, but he didn't wake up a bit because of it.His mind was in a mess, and he didn't even notice that the hem of his cloak was stained with mud and water. He stayed in place for a while, then turned and rushed to the Nestling Monastery.
