under the field

Scarlett

If you ask me, how does it feel to go from being a citizen on the missing persons notice to being a key criminal hunted down by the royal family overnight.I think it should be like boiling frogs in a pot of warm water suddenly boiling, so hot that you are caught off guard.

The rope twisted in my heart was finally broken, and Reggie finally stopped supporting me. The order he issued seemed to say to me: "Tick tock! Time is up! You have missed the opportunity to show up and surrender obediently, so take We'll kill you all the way down."

I stood there for a long time, and I didn't come back to my senses until Dr. Knight called me.After sending away the two giant Buddhas, the gate of the medical hall was finally locked, and I followed them to the basement.

They looked like they had just wrapped up a secret conversation, and Colin was sitting on Shay's bedside talking to Otis in a low voice.Colin should be in an important position, because of his arrival, this group of injured men finally cheered up.Before my eyes was a group of Jacobites, an organization that the royal family considered rebels.This organization appeared as the queen regent came to power, and began to openly oppose the royal family. They attacked the royal guards, formed an army, and launched a coup. This is the Jacob organization that has been spread among the people.I've heard of this group, but I'm surprised I didn't classify them as true rebels in my heart.

In this infirmary, I'm pretty sure Dr. Knight supports Jacob's gang and often secretly treats members of the area.He and Colin should have known each other for many years, and they understood each other's needs without saying much. This feeling was like the tacit understanding between Colin and Otis.

"Finally! You finally attracted the officers and soldiers, it's really good!" Knight sarcastically said.

Colin explained with a wry smile, "Dude, I'm sorry for causing trouble to the medical hall." Knight looked like he didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and motioned him to get to the point. "What did you do to make such a big fuss this time?"

"We killed Sander's leader of the knights, Martin Deke, and clashed with his men on the way out."

"Martin Deke?" Knight raised his eyebrows, "Well done, that cunning fox. Sanderling should be silent for a while."

"We're leaving New Sierre soon," Colin said.

"I'll go with you!" Shay jumped up from the bed, grinning after being pulled to the wound on his back.

"You can't even get out of bed, and you still want to take risks with others?" Lily taught him with her hands on her hips.

Xie Yi hurriedly stated: "I can, I'm fine, I want to go with Lord Colin!"

Lily stared at her round eyes without speaking, turned around angrily and left.

Shay didn't notice her leaving, and still held Colin's hand, "Master Colin, I want to go with you."

Otis hits him, and he covers his head to hide.Still refused to shut up.The bearded man lying on the bed sat up and said, "Don't be ignorant, you kid. This time you are lucky, but not every time you are so lucky!" The men all echoed.

"I'm going too." I said.For a moment all the men in the basement were looking at me.

"You can't." Colin said firmly.

"Why?" I stared at that face.He calmly looked back at my anger, "There's no reason, it's just not possible."

I didn't realize that my voice was gradually increasing, "Why not? I know your identities now, and I have a 1000-pound knife hanging on my head at the moment, and it will fall at any time. What is the difference between this and a Jacobite with a bounty on it?" ?”

He frowned at me. "Stay in Knight's Infirmary and you won't be found."

Lost your composure, Scarlett.I told myself, despite the rage that was pouring out, "Bastard!" and I left the basement.

For the first time in a long time, I cried so sadly, it seemed that everything was getting farther and farther away from me.

What is this, I asked myself.It feels like being abandoned.I don't know what's wrong with me, I just feel exhausted, my heart feels empty, and I can't do anything, because here, since I left Orlando, I can't do anything, hide, and encounter dangerous things , Dealing with people, being cautious, I can't follow my own wishes to do what I want to do.Even now, with Reggie giving me an ultimatum to live a more veiled life for a long time, I still can't keep the people who want to be with me...

You are crazy!Scarlett.I suddenly raised my head, frightened out of my wits by the thought that came to me.what's on your mind?What the hell are you doing?

"Hey."

I don't have to turn my head to know who it is, the one who's making my head spin.

I sniffed and turned around, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." I said in one go, "I haven't been in the mood these days, and I can't help getting angry..."

He stopped talking again and I hate it when he looks at me like he sees everything through.

He didn't respond to me, he just looked at the sea of ​​flowers behind me and asked, "Do you know who planted this garden for?" I knew, and I said "Anna." A name that made me unhappy for no reason.

"Yes, Anna." He said the name, with an impenetrable breath full of emotion and nostalgia, and he heard him say again: "My sister."

I looked at him in surprise, and he smiled and nodded, "Anna is my biological sister, and also Knight's beloved."

He sat down beside me, stretched out his feet, and the toes of his shoes touched the lonely blue flower on the farthest edge, "Forget-me-not is her favorite flower."

He used the past tense and I guessed, "She's gone, isn't she?"

"She passed away." His voice almost whispered, "She died in the most undeserved way."

Those eyes seem to contain the lake and the sea, and they are brightly illuminated by the lights, just like the open windows in a house in the wild, so frank and free of dirt, I saw myself in that light, and heard him whisper: "You want to hear a story ?”

I lay down beside him, as I did then in the meadow by the Moor River, and he lay beside me listening to me tell Robert's story.

But at this moment, he repeats the girl in the story, as if there is a graceful figure walking towards us in the starry sky.I can even imagine Anna's appearance, she should be indescribably beautiful, a playful girl like an elf, because everyone who talks about her or who loves her is so obsessed with her, the one who can make the cold The girl for whom Knight gave his heart.

That lively and mischievous girl is actually interested in Otis. When I heard this, I thought of the subtle way of getting along between Otis and Knight, and I knew it.But not all emotions are mutual, Otis doesn't have the same admiration for Anna, who to him is like a sister to Colin.

All those who are not loved will continue to follow in the footsteps of the person they love madly, and will not stop for another person who can give him their heart, such as Anna or Audrey.

Anna, Colin and Otis traveled around and joined Jacob's gang, while Knight was Colin's childhood playmate who became a doctor and opened a clinic in New Sierre, just because New Sierre was theirs. The forget-me-not land can grow on the road that will pass.He provided them with task assistance, and left her the fragrance of the journey, the blue flowers, such feelings are flat but also satisfying.

Until Anna married the younger brother of the Queen's confidant, the Duke of Sandland, in exchange for information.Everything started to go to hell, Colin described it.She continued to provide Jacob with clues and news, not caring that the duke brother in the marriage was a violent maniac. After he revealed the news to Anna so that Colin and others pushed the trusted people to the position of power holders, all the disgusting minions began Reach out to all members of Jacob.After the trusted ruler came to power, he wiped out Jacob's gang in one fell swoop. Because of the desire and greed behind the power, taxation in various places has skyrocketed. The royal family wantonly plundered people's property and allowed the royal soldiers to rob innocent people. Is this still a noble royal family? ?Is the person who does such a thing the ruler a country should embrace?

It wasn't people who betrayed the royal family, it was the queen who betrayed the country first, Colin said.

Anna's gang was almost wiped out because of the false information she exchanged, and she finally rebelled against her husband. Everyone found the bodies of the younger brother of the Duke of Sandland and his wife in the room.Before Anna died, she was strangled to death without a trace, while the younger brother of the Duke of Sandland died under her dagger. The blood holes on his body were like the blood of those dead partners.

She sacrificed herself, but the superior still wore jewels and enjoyed the delicacies on the seat of power, and the remaining members of Jacob were forced to disappear, waiting for the power to grow again to protect all people, and let the hateful power pay due price.Anna's wish was to exchange her own power for everyone's peace. Her death cast a shadow over everyone. Colin and others lost their love, and Knight fought him for this.

Later, Knight sobered up quickly, because they knew that only by continuing to accomplish what this beautiful soul wanted to accomplish would be the vengeance. He seemed to be cheered up in the eyes of outsiders, but only as deep as he was. Only those who love Anna know that the lack in their hearts will never be filled again.

She is a character like a star. She uses her faint light to guide the way for the lost and the place where people place their wishes.But she fell. At that moment, Colin couldn't forgive himself, and Knight couldn't move forward. All the people who came to the New Sierre Medical Center would be imprisoned by this sea of ​​blue flowers, because they couldn't help but want to Let the decayed soul have a place to live, and when I think of that figure again, there is only a pool of stagnant water in my heart.

I think she should be a very bold and lively girl on the way of traveling with Colin Otis. I can imagine her running behind Otis to catch rabbits with him, and sitting under the stars with her brother. Speaking of family stories, I had a meal with Nate when I stopped in New Sierre. Of course, it must be Nate who only has tenderness in his eyes.

I sigh, for all the people in this story.Her final decision made her die without fear, and ended her lively and vigorous life in a tragic way, which was indeed not the ending that the kind-hearted her deserved.

Colin looked at me, I didn't wipe away the tears deliberately, for a moment he returned to his usual indecency, this is the information I can read from a person's eyes.As he told the story, the grief in his eyes made one want to hug him and pat him on the back, and now he hid the vulnerable Colin with nothing but a mask of indifference.

He is really good-looking and gentle, and this sentence floated out of my mind inexplicably, but soon the fantasy was always shattered by the words that came out of his mouth.

"So, even if I hear foul language from the pampered daughter of Viscount Hastings, I won't be surprised, because I think I have seen a lot of strong winds and waves." He was mocking my bastard who just scolded him.

He sat up, indicating that the Colin who talked to people was no longer there, and now it was the familiar annoying boy Colin.

I sat up, "That's not why you don't let me follow you on the road!"

He suddenly approached, and I stared wide-eyed at the face close at hand, and he said: "We didn't have the time to spare a certain young lady to save her from danger."

"I won't delay you!" I retorted angrily. "I was almost recognized just now. I will be discovered sooner or later if I stay in the medical hall. I'm serious."

"Then we will arrange the way home for you." Colin ignored my vicious expression.

I completely forgot how I was soft-hearted to him just now. "Tell me why I can't continue to follow you!"

He was so close that I could almost see the amber in those eyes, and held my breath unconsciously, only hearing him say. "We won't stop because of a sprained ankle, or stay in the woods because a person is afraid of bugs, or stay for an extra day because you can't sleep most of the night and listless the next day, are you sure?"

Well, his last sentence was aimed directly at me.

But all I can do is swallow my anger, bow my head in humiliation, and hastily express my opinion: "I'm sure."

"And I don't have the problems you said." I added this sentence.

He finally stepped back to a safe distance and looked at me suspiciously. I don't know if he promised me, at least there was no rejection written on his face.

"That's it, I'll go with you." I cleared my throat to remind him to speak.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and rubbed it hard on my head, making my hair, which I have been too busy to wash these days, look even worse. He grinned again, stood up in satisfaction, and walked away Go back to the house.

I didn't know why, but I could only shout behind him, "Then do you agree or not?"

No one responded to me, only the smell of the night, maybe mixed with a little bit of sweetness, I stood in the garden of the medical hall, the conversation here tonight is like a dream that belongs to me, there will be no one but us I know, if there is one, I think it should be the only star hanging in the sky tonight.
