"You didn't pay the rent, so you killed that man?"

Matinda adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and smiled lazily.

"It's not like you."

In the corridor, Perry paused for a moment while holding the dinner plate, just placing the plate between the two of them.

"You're blocking my way back to my room."

"It's okay to have dinner a little later." Matinda put her hand on Perry's wrist.

"Parceloper, tell me where Jasper went."

"Didn't you break up with your little milk dog? How would I know—"

"You know who I'm talking about."

Perry looked from Mathilda's eyes to the pressed wrist.

"Jasper's dead, you understand? Can you make way?"

Matilda's face quickly turned cold. "You killed him?"

"...If you think it is." Perry raised his hand and pushed her, "I'm going back—"

Before she finished speaking, the faint light from Matinda's palm brushed past Perry's ear, leaving a bloodstain on her face by the way.

Perry froze for a moment, and immediately fought back.

In the corridor of the old castle, the two witches fought like this.The wizards in other rooms can naturally feel this level of magic power fluctuations, but no one came out to stop them.

Getting into trouble is not a good thing, not to mention, Perry, as a person in the contract, they all believed that Ma Tinda would not kill Perry.

But if Mathilde died... maybe they'd send a bouquet of flowers.To express the sorrow and regret of centuries of Lancastrian blood ties.

It's a pity that Ma Tingda has the idea of ​​wanting her life, but she doesn't have the ability.

Perry threw Matilda, whose arm had been broken, to the ground, stepped forward and knocked on the door of his room.

The door was opened from inside the house, and the soldiers in everyday shirts and trousers looked up slowly.

Line of sight relative.

Perry suddenly forgot what he was going to say.

"...Throw the woman at the door out of the manor."

She probably didn't even think she would say such a thing.

This is really a cruel punishment.

The soldiers carried out the order and threw Matinda out like carrying a sack. The injured woman didn't say a word to apologize during the whole process, and all she left for Perry was a poisoned look of resentment.

Seeing it, Perry's hands were itchy and he wanted to close those eyes.

But she held back.

The plate was knocked over, and Perry asked Sosimo to send another copy to the room.The white-bearded old man was very sensible and didn't ask anything, and even cleaned up the mess at the door by the way.

"Pack Matilda's luggage for her and throw it out together."

Perry added.

Susiemo, who was about to leave at the door, paused for a moment, then quickly put on an English butler's smile and nodded in agreement.

Now, LWL residents finally know what's changed in Perry.

It's just that the Parceloper back then was back.

That's it.

How many years can a Lancastrian wizard live without LWL?Perry didn't mind letting Mathinda illustrate it for the others.

In addition to the common ones, LWL's breakfast today also includes tender veal steaks and fresh boiled vegetables just picked from the backyard.Perry remembered the piece of meat she ate at the Hydra base before, and later she casually asked Jasper why the meat was so fresh. Could it be that the Hydra base raised cattle secretly?

At that time, Jasper choked on her indifferently, saying that it was because Hydra's freezing technology was better.

Perry couldn't help laughing.

But when she told the story to Bucky who returned from Mathinda, he didn't seem to understand the joke here.

Misery is no joke for these two.But today Perry couldn't have smiled more happily.

"Sir, I still don't understand." The soldier looked at Perry, whose shoulders were trembling with laughter. "I have not learned about the food freezing facilities inside the base."

"Why do you learn that?" Perry wiped away the tears from laughing. "It's just a joke, just like my name, just to make people laugh. If you don't want to laugh, it's because this sentence is not funny."

After speaking, she raised her hand to wipe off the blood stained on Bucky's collar. "Don't call me sir, I'm a doctor."

The movement of leaning over made the distance between the two of them a little closer.

Perry looked at those clear blue eyes, although they were not bright, they still looked so good-looking.

She held his chin in one hand and the fork in the other.

A bright green broccoli on a fork.

"Ah, open your mouth."

Soldiers obey orders.

Perry stuffed the broccoli into his mouth and watched him chew slowly.

There is no emotion in the blue eyes.

Perry suddenly sat on his lap and planted a kiss on his cheek.

She calls him Bucky, but the soldier responds blankly.

"Who's Bucky?"

Perry blinked, but said nothing.

More and more kisses fell on his lips, chaos and upside down like a torrential rain.

Perry didn't know exactly what he wanted.

She wants a Winter Soldier who can obediently accompany her, but she also wants Bucky.

What the hell do I want.

she asked herself.

The last kiss landed on the corner of her lips, and when she raised her head, her green eyes were filled with moist water.

The soldier was a little confused, he needed an order, or rather, he was longing for an order.

She held his hand and hugged herself.

Maybe she was trying to prove something.

What do you want, what do you want to prove.

An unsolvable question.

"Soldier."

"Willing to obey."

"Why." The male voice was low and hoarse.

This is a lingering inquiry.

Perry thought for a while, but didn't know the answer to this question.

But don't worry, she doesn't know too much after all.

So this question was just left silent in a corner.

Breakfast is getting cold.

Finally, breakfast is eaten with lunch.

Perry already had a headache, and now his back hurts even more.After lunch, I went straight back to bed and lay down.

She looked at the back of the person who was still eating lunch, turned over and wrapped herself in the quilt.

"Come here after eating."

Soon, he came over.

"Doctor Lancaster?"

"My back hurts, rub it for me."

The temperature of the palm fell to the waist, and Perry buried his head deeper.

I don't know what kind of spirit it is that made the Winter Soldier learn to persevere, he kneaded for a while and then asked again——

"why."

"what why."

"Doctor, you know."

"Soldier, I don't know."

There was silence in the room for a while.

"It was you who didn't want me first."

She suddenly said this sentence.

"It's your fault that you didn't believe I could do it at all."

"Doctor, what have I done?"

"...you abandoned me."

"The Winter Soldier will obey whoever gives the order. Doctor, what you say is almost untenable."

Perry immediately rolled over to look at him, she had a lot to say, and a little bit of a desire to stand up and make a maddened accusation, just like she had done before.

But she didn't.

"I hope so, soldier."

He looked at her, her eyes seemed familiar.

It seemed that in a cold laboratory, a woman with green eyes was crying while tugging at her sleeves.

【Bucky, you can't want me...】

Then what did he do?

"If you abandon me again, I will die."

"Doctor, this is simply not the case—"

"I don't have the courage to die, but I also have no reason to live." Perry looked at him with firm eyes.

"So, soldier, you can't abandon me."

He looked at her, and wanted to say that the instruction was unclear.

But looking at it, the unspoken words changed.

"... Willing to obey."

Perry felt as if he was going crazy.

She could do nothing all day, just stare at Bucky.

When I was at Oxford Medical School, I also sat in on a few psychology classes, and my behavior now is not a good sign.

But Perry doesn't seem to know how to solve the current predicament.

"Soldier, what if I die?"

His answers flowed naturally.

"One of the basic orders of the Winter Soldier is protection. It is my duty to protect the sender of the order at all times. So..."

He paused.

"Doctor, you will not die."

"Teach me Russian when you have time." Perry looked away and changed the subject.

"There are also German, Romanian, French... I will learn it slowly, so don't teach it too fast."

"Yes, doctor."

Perry got out of bed and stretched. "Go for a walk."

He was just going out, but when he reached the corner halfway up the stairs, the terrace floor suddenly caved in, and Perry and the Winter Soldier fell straight down.

And the Winter Soldier grabs the railing immediately, and Perry.

Years of antique railings creaked in agony, and the frowning Winter Soldier, hurt by the tear at the metal arm joint, wasn't much better.

Perry was obviously frightened, and she didn't recover until she was pulled to a safe position.

After a while, she began to press her chest with a beating heart, and slowly let out a breath.

"I thought I gave them a warning, but they went crazy instead." Perry looked at the collapsed terrace.

"This old castle is indeed old, but it can still collapse under the influence of magic, unless all the Lancastrians are dead."

She let out a breath slowly, pulled his sleeves and stood up.

"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner together. There are still a lot of people who are going to be thrown out tonight... What's wrong with you?"

Perry looked at him with one hand on his shoulder, "Shoulder, what's wrong?"

"Tear."

Pause, then look at her.

"Tears at joint, but not serious."

Perry lowered his eyes, flashing through his mind what he had said before.

【Doctor, you will not die. 】

This is a promise that Bucky cannot give.
