The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

Grace lay uncomfortably on the bed, tossing and turning, but even then refused to get up.

Eva touched his forehead anxiously, and finally the fever stopped, but she still couldn't help worrying, and had to take Grace's stupid words about death to heart.

Anna also thought so, and asked Eva: "Did Grace really get overwhelmed by the serious illness that winter? Will she really have such a dangerous serious illness every year in the future?"

"No," Eva said affirmatively, "It's good to be cured after that illness. Don't you think Grace is as strong as a pony later?"

"That's what's happening in the palace!" Anna pouted unhappily, "Grace feels very bored here, and when people feel bored, they are easy to get sick."

Grace turned over again, lay on her side and looked at them sleepily, "Don't say that, let people hear you again. There are ears everywhere here."

Eva advised him to get out of bed and take a walk, saying that people would be weak if they always lay down like this.Grace lifted the quilt to cover half of her face, and said listlessly, "What can I do when I get up? It's better to lie down."

He has received several notes, all from his allies, and no one is willing to help him call back Count de la Salle and Count Laval. Instead, he begs him to focus on the wedding, on the king's mood, status, status, identity, Status, always these words, even reformers can not escape the mouth.

Anna climbed onto the bed and leaned into his ear, and said in a whispering voice: "Let's go and play with Master Allen, he will definitely think of something interesting."

Grace was stunned for a while, then pulled the quilt higher, covering most of her face, her voice sounded muffled, "I quarreled with him."

Eva also approached, and squatted beside the bed and asked him in a low voice: "What if Master Allen wants to see you? Do you want to go and play with him?... Do you know that Luca and the others have also moved to Crown Plaza? Live at the house of Master Allen."

Grace poked her face out of the quilt, "What's going on?"

"Mrs. Sharp's relatives have come to the capital to join them, and the house on Hat Shop Street is no longer rented out. Master Allen is really kind, and it's not too noisy to let the children move into his house...Master Allen is not a grudge. , these days have been asking us to inquire about you. We dare not tell him that you are sick again, otherwise he will die in a hurry..."

Anna tugged at Eva's sleeve, called her aside, and whispered, "Why don't we let Grace go out to play, I'm a little scared."

Eva looked back at Grace sadly, and replied in a low voice: "But Grace obviously doesn't like this place, has she been bored here all the time? It's like going to jail... Even a king can't be so unreasonable!"

A muffled voice came from the quilt on the bed: "Eva, Anna, don't talk about this, I feel uncomfortable."

In the afternoon, the king came and brought Sia.

Grace sat up in bed in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

The king stood where he had just entered the door, looked at his face, and said: "The trivial matters of the wedding have bothered you, I specially invited Mrs. Stone..."

Grace thought he was going to insult herself again, so she ordered Xi Ya to help her prepare for the wedding.Because Thea was married, because her last name was "Ston" now.

But the King went on: "Ask her to go out with you... Mrs. Ston is just leaving for the port, and she must want to say good-bye to you."

Xi Ya said that was exactly the case, and she had long wanted to go to the palace to visit Grace again.She also didn't trust the king, and when she curtsied to thank her, her chin was almost raised, reserved and noble.Grace always reluctantly found more and more goodness in this woman.

But Xi Ya couldn't imagine how unpredictable the human heart is.Without knowing it, she was regarded as an eagle dog by the king. With her, Grace could not see William.

But in fact, even without her, Grace couldn't see William.All separations should have a farewell. The king drove William so far away, but Grace didn't even have time to say "goodbye" to him.

"Grace, do you want to go out for a walk?" Thea asked him. "If you feel tired, we can also read in the house, just like you did when you were in bed. I can read poetry for you."

Grace looked at the king and read the meaning in his eyes: he felt some regret for beating himself, but not completely; as long as he did not do it again, he would not be beaten again.

It's like training a dog.

Grace suppressed the hatred that wanted him to bite her teeth, and said to Sia: "I want to go out."

The king also sent four guards to follow him.Grace thinks that he thinks too highly of himself. The 120-kilometer road is so far away that he will never be able to go.

The king himself saw them off until he reached the gate of the palace, but he did not come out, but stood in the door and watched them.

The brim of the women's hat blocked the sun, and Grace raised her head slightly, feeling the comfortable feeling of the sun shining on her face.Subconsciously, he glanced back and saw the king standing facing them in a slightly dark place, his hands resting on his cane.

He was dressed better than anyone else, and his posture was as elegant as a statue, framed by the resplendent and magnificent gate.

A noble prisoner, Grace thought in her mind and stopped unconsciously.

The king's face changed slightly in the dark, and he took a step forward.Grace's heart suddenly tightened, and she felt a shadow protrude from the king's feet and stretched towards him.He hurriedly took a step back, and saw that the king stopped again and stopped moving forward.

Grace corrected the step back just now into a curtsy, and hurriedly chased Sia and the others down the steps.He was afraid that he would become a prisoner like that.

Four guards followed him closely, and the lieutenant captain who was the most talkative among them was Grace's friend.

Grace said to the Lieutenant Captain, "Go to Crowne Plaza."

There are four people in the car, and four tall court guards standing on the back of the car, so a cart has to be used, and it has to be pulled by four horses.

Such a big carriage is rare, but also so beautiful, they are walking on the road, and passers-by all look at them.Grace also looked out of the car window: the streets have become cleaner, the number of street lights has increased, but there are still many poor people.Landless people in shabby gray clothes wandered the streets, hoping for a day job.

When they arrived at Crown Plaza, they found it busier than ever.Eva said that it has been like this recently. There are people discussing current affairs in all the pubs and cafes, there are always people speaking in the middle of the square, and all kinds of people come to be the audience.

Their car was parked at a corner of the square, and the passionate voices of the speakers in the square could be heard faintly.People passing by stretched their necks in unison, wanting to see who was sitting in such a gorgeous carriage through the cracks in the curtains.

Grace gave the lieutenant captain some money, and the lieutenant distributed the money to the other three guards and coachmen, letting them find taverns or brothels to pass the time.

After they all left, the lieutenant opened the door of the car with experience and asked Grace, "Your Majesty, let me call you an inconspicuous car."

Grace sat in the car, holding the curtains with her hands, but looked behind him without speaking.

The lieutenant captain turned his head and saw Colonel Ston.The colonel seemed to have made an appointment with them, his eyes were fixed on the window of the carriage, and he strode towards them.

Allen walked to the front of the car, bent down and looked into the car window. He didn't show any expression when he saw Grace, but moved his eyes slowly, looking at him very carefully.Grace also didn't speak, and looked at Allen quietly through the window glass, trying to see any changes in his face from the last time I saw him.

Eva and the others greeted him happily in the car. Allen finally left Grace's face and looked at the three of them in turn. With a bright smile on his face, he said to the car: "I saw you The car, and the lieutenant, I guessed it was you." He quickly glanced at Grace again as the smile disappeared, then turned around and patted the lieutenant on the arm, "Please wait for me a while!"

Soon, Alan Stone drove over in an unremarkable gray light carriage.He put the two carriages side by side, with the doors facing each other. Eva and Anna helped Grace lift the skirts, and quickly sent him into the gray carriage. The two open doors formed two walls, blocking him tightly. real.Seeing from the side, Xi Ya was very surprised, and was urged by Eva to also get into the car.All four squeezed in.

Alan Stone acted as the coachman, sitting in front of him holding a whip, and asked them back, "Are you seated?"

Eva said loudly to sit still.

Alan Stone yelled and shook his whip in the air.Grace looked sideways and saw that he had just scratched the gray horse's rear end with the tip of his whip, and the horse started to hoof.The wheels turned "creaking".

The nailed horse's hooves made a crisp "clack" sound on the stone brick road in the square. Grace kept leaning over to watch Alan drive the horse, and how he could control the car by scratching the horse's butt with the tip of the whip. Direction, it's strange how he is good at this kind of work.

Alan Stone suddenly turned around without saying hello, with a smile on his face, meeting Grace's eyes.Both of them froze for a moment.Immediately, the corners of Alan's grin widened, revealing more teeth.Grace hurriedly turned her head, using the brim of her hat to hide her expression. His movements were a bit sloppy, and the brim of the hat swept over Anna's face, causing her to say "Ouch".

Alan Stone shouted vigorously outside, his voice was ruder than a real groom: "Pretty little guy, work harder! I will reward you well later!"

Both Eva and Anna pursed their lips and snickered, and Xi Ya also smiled in surprise.Grace noticed that she was blushing, and he realized that Alan was talking to the horse, and couldn't help laughing.

The carriage drove into the alley and stopped in front of a small building with light yellow walls.

Allen jumped out of the car to ring the doorbell.The door opened quickly, and Little John poked his head out from the inside. Seeing Eva who had gotten off the car, he threw himself into his sister's arms happily, and saw Grace, who also threw himself into his arms.Before Grace could get out of the car completely, he blocked her back into the car.

Allen grabbed Little John by the collar and pulled him away from Grace, as if telling everyone: "I'll drive the carriage to the backyard and be back soon."

Grace watched him drive away with the others and into the house.The children heard them coming, and many pairs of little feet happily poured down the stairs and surrounded Grace.He touched these little heads one by one, responding to their questions, always aiming in the direction of the back door unconsciously from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, soon, the back door was pushed open, and Allen walked in panting slightly, and fell on Grace at the first sight, and never moved away after that.

Eva pulled her siblings off Grace and said: "Grace brought you delicious desserts from the palace. You go upstairs to prepare the tableware and let Grace change. She is tired in this suit." panic."

She and Anna tacitly asked Xi Ya to go to the wardrobe under the stairs to take off her coat and hat.Sia wanted to wait for Grace to go to the restaurant together, and Allen said, "It's cold downstairs, you go up first, we will go up soon."

Grace and Alan stood neither far nor close, and looked up to see them upstairs.The footsteps upstairs and the children's chatting and laughing kept going, and with the sound of closing the door, these movements disappeared.

Allen took two steps towards Grace and gently held his hand.Grace was led obediently by him, and the two entered the wardrobe together and closed the door.

Ellen took off Grace's hat, hung it on the wall, sat him down again, and took out a pair of indoor moccasins from the cabinet—not the pink pair when Grace came last time, but a pair of pastel.He already wanted to understand why Grace didn't like to wear bright clothes when she was in the villa.

Allen knelt down on one knee, took Grace's ankle, took off his hard-soled high heels, and replaced them with comfortable soft-soled shoes.When it came to the second one, the movement slowed down, and he didn't let go after changing the shoes. He put that foot on his knee and stroked the instep that was exposed outside the upper of the shoe.His hands were so light that Grace itched a little when he touched them.

The weather turned cold, and I wore white stockings on my legs, which felt very slippery, making it easy for people to slide up the calf along the instep, and continue to go up involuntarily.Grace also felt itchy in her heart, she trembled all over, and wrestled her legs out of his arms.

Allen held Grace's two calves, looked up and asked, "Are you here to see me?"

Grace thought for a while and said, "I'm here to meet the children. Look, I brought them cakes."

Allen smiled, showing his white teeth again.

He stood up and pulled Grace up, wrapping her arms around his waist.Although Grace's mouth was stiff just now, her body was very soft and she was held by him.

"Why are you wearing a skirt?" Allen asked.

"Because the whole capital knows that the future queen likes to wear men's clothing, it's safer for me to ask you to wear a skirt."

"You admitted it," Allen said with some pride, "you came to find me."

Grace looked up at him, and Allen kissed his mouth sneakily, looking very happy.

Grace was surprised to find that she was getting used to his lips touching hers.

Allen wanted to continue kissing, but Grace blocked it with her hand and whispered, "I didn't come to ask you to do that."

Allen bit his lips greedily, and said in a smaller voice, "I just can't help but want to kiss you, especially... with my tongue."

Grace blushed again and felt numb, but she still refused.Because Allen always kissed very hard, he was afraid of leaving traces.

Allen looked down at him for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and buried his face into his neck, arched his hair out of a socket with his nose, exposing the skin, printed his lips heavily, and hugged him tightly at the same time.

Grace was made weak by him, she pushed him not firmly, and said, "They are all waiting for us upstairs."

Alan reluctantly licked the skin of his neck twice before letting go, and led him upstairs.

The children were already sitting in the restaurant, happily tasting the desserts brought by Grace, and the bustle and bustle inside could be heard through the door of the restaurant.Allen put his hand on the doorknob, suddenly turned around and held the back of Grace's head with one hand, kissed his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and walked quickly inside him.

Moist and soft.Startled by his audacity, Grace raised her hand to hit him.Allen managed to avoid him with a smile, and cleverly opened the door, and the noise of the children immediately rushed out from the room.

Grace was taken aback again, forced to put her hands down, followed behind him shyly, using his broad back to shield herself, and quickly wiped her wet lips.At this time, he found that Alan was wearing leather shoes instead of boots, and he took a bigger step in the next step, stepping on one of Alan's heels.

The shoe was trampled off by him.Allen screamed exaggeratedly, looking back at him while jumping forward on one foot, his eyes and mouth were smiling beautifully.The children laughed out loud at his funny performance.

Grace walked into the dining room with a guilty conscience, wondering if her face was still red.He was eager to join the conversation at the dinner table, and asked Eva with a smile: "What were you talking about just now?"

Little John rushed to say: "We are asking Sia how she and Commodore Ston got married!"

The smile on Grace's face became unnatural.Knowing that Alan was looking at him, he lowered his head and took a piece of bread from the table, and ate it in small bites.

Little John turned around and continued to pester Siya. Eva's younger sisters also loved hearing this kind of story, waiting for Siya to continue with their eyes expectant.

So Grace rehearsed the story of how Sia's brother held William's hand tightly with his blood-stained hands before he died, and entrusted his sick sister to him.

It was much better than when he heard it for the first time. At that time, he was still sick and confused. He took the initiative to ask Xi Ya about it, but he was so angry that he hid in the quilt and rubbed the corner of the quilt with his teeth, shouting in his heart: "Blackmail! Blackmail!".

But now he was able to listen to it in relative calm, and finished eating a piece of bread.

After Sia finished talking about her and William's secret wedding in the chapel, the blush on her face had already spread to her neck and ears.Grace glanced at her from time to time and thought, for this conservative woman, maybe this was the most outrageous thing she had ever done in her life.

The children also begged her to say more about marriage. Allen cleared his throat and put on a majestic look: "Didn't you see that Siya was already shy? Besides, this is an adult's business, children, don't mess around." ask."

The children wanted to ask Grace about marrying the king again, but because of his stern expression, they regretfully gave up.

Grace felt that he didn't need to be so serious, so she turned her head to talk to him, the two of them were sitting next to each other, "What were you doing in the square just now?"

Allen also turned his head and looked at him, "I was listening to Father Banal's speech in the square."

Grace was very surprised, "What did the priest preach to people?" He thought it must not be the Bible, which is no longer popular nowadays, and the Bible must be taught in churches and monasteries.

Anna also understood a little bit, and said, "It's the things you often say."

"But I thought speech required a lot of skill." But then he thought that priests always preach to people, and maybe the principles of the two are similar.

Little John was eager to share with him what he knew, and said that both Father Barnard and Colonel Ston would give lectures, sometimes in the square, sometimes in the tavern.

Grace asked Allen in surprise: "Do you also give speeches?"

Allen nodded with a smile, and Luca, who was not talkative, added in admiration: "Colonel Ston's eloquence is very good!"

This was beyond Grace's expectation. He unconsciously looked at Alan's plump and rosy lips, feeling a little admiring and envious.

"Father Barnard has been chosen as the representative," Allen said to Grace.

"One of the three hundred clergy delegates to the National Conference?"

Allen nodded.

Grace laughed in surprise, "We tried to expand the scope of candidates for priests, regardless of noble or common origin, it seems to be really useful! Poor people can also be representatives! I believe in the character of Father Barnard, He will play an active role in the meeting!"

Allen looked hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Grace asked sensitively, "Can you tell me?"

Allen sighed softly, "Campaigning always costs money, and continuing to participate in political activities also requires money... I am now Father Banal's patron."

Grace blinked a little incomprehensibly, remembering that the Earl of Arundel had suggested to Allen to buy a title many times, but Allen did not do so after careful consideration, and almost immediately afterwards, he was elected as a civilian representative.Is it a coincidence?Another representative of commoner origin is the wealthy.

At this time the doorbell rang again, and Little John jumped out like a cannonball, shouting: "It must be Father Banal! He is looking for his sister!"

The adults all laughed, and Grace looked narrowly at Eva, who was rarely shy.

Father Banal came in panting. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't look away at Eva, just like Alan just now.

Grace grinned as she watched the priest flush from being seated next to Eva.At this moment, his hand next to Alan was held, which startled him, his face remained stiff with a smile, and his heart was pounding—Sia was right next to him!

He didn't hide, and that hand scratched his palm more boldly, itching and numb.Grace kept a smile on her face, pinched a little flesh on the back of that hand, and pinched it with all her strength.From the corner of his eye, he saw Alan's body move slightly, and he quickly bit the flesh in his mouth to hold back his smile.After a few seconds, the hand slipped away, and after a while, Grace took her own hand up from under the table, and pretended to drink two sips of tea.He glanced at Allen, and found that he was smiling at Father Banal as if pretending to be okay, and nodded from time to time following what the other said, the back of his hand resting on the edge of the table turned red.

badass.

The priest sat next to Eva, too nervous to look aside, so he only talked to Grace, who was directly opposite, and asked him: "Grace, I heard that the king doesn't want to draw up a constitution?"

Grace subconsciously looked at Allen, "Did the news spread so fast?"

Allen shrugged, "Nowadays everyone is concerned about these things, and nothing can be hidden. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is deliberately spreading these news-politics not only play a role in the palace, many people have already realized this. point."

"It's not that the king doesn't want to, it's just a delay." Grace couldn't explain why she said that, maybe he really wanted to protect the king's reputation in front of others, maybe he was giving confidence to everyone who cared about reform, including he himself.

"It's all the same. Brigadier General Ston has been excluded from the imperial council. If there are no Counts of De La Salle and Laval, how can we ensure that the constitution is a perfect constitution of justice and progress? If the constitution cannot limit privileges, then How can it be called a constitution? If there is no constitution in the end, wouldn’t everyone’s efforts and enthusiasm be in vain?”

Grace didn't expect Father Barnard to speak so sharply about these things, and she didn't know how to answer.

Eva sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and asked Anna to help her take the children out, while she used her eyes to advise Father Banal not to talk to Grace about these things.

Father Banal closed his mouth for a while, then changed the subject somewhat bluntly, and asked Eva, "Are the children still sad about moving?"

Eva casts a quick glance at Grace and mumbles, "They like it here."

Grace found that she hadn't gone out for a while, and there were things outside the palace that she didn't know about.

"Eva, do you even have something to hide from me?"

Eva looked at him in embarrassment, "You have enough worries."

"But I'm more afraid of being concealed. Tell me, what's going on?"

Allen took the topic, "It's the Sharpes, they kicked the children out."

"Why!" Grace was extremely surprised, the Sharps obviously liked children very much.

Allen rubbed his fingers and told him it was because the Sharpes disagreed with the reformists.

Grace was a little annoyed, "No matter what they don't agree with, it has nothing to do with Eva, and it has nothing to do with the children!"

Eva reassured him that the children liked it better here, and it would be a good thing to move out, as long as Master Allen didn't find it noisy.

Allen smiled and said of course he didn't mind.

"What do they disapprove of?" Grace asked him. "Is it against me? Because of the rumors that I'm a heretic? ... Yes, Mrs. Sharp is very religious, they must hate me." He felt a little hurt because The Sharpes had been so kind to him, and he had treated them to Sophie's cheese.

"This is just one aspect. On the other hand, because the business of the hat shop is not as good as before, they put the blame on the reformers. Of course, this is irresponsible venting, and you don't need to take it to heart." Allen's tone Very gentle, worried that he would blame himself.

"But why? Reformers don't ban people from wearing hats."

"Because we restricted the flow of cheap textiles from the UK, and the price of cloth went up a little bit, people who needed cloth to make things were not very happy. In fact, we had expected this before introducing this policy, so Countermeasures have been taken to curb the increase in cloth prices; moreover, the state has invested money to subsidize textile mills using advanced machines. Those large and efficient textile machines will soon become popular throughout the country, and cloth prices will eventually come down. Come down. If you ask me, you don't take the Sharpes' complaints to heart at all, because we all know that the textile industry has to be developed."

"Of course, only cotton can be planted on a large scale in the colonies. Of course I know this..." Grace said in an affirmative tone, but it was more like a deliberate optimism, "Let other countries' money flow to our country , not the other way around. Only in this way can our people get rid of the constraints of land and climate, get rid of the dilemma of always fighting with neighboring countries, and really become rich... However, cloth has become more expensive, and the Sharpes can reduce the price of hats Improve it, I don’t think those customers who buy hats will care about this little money.” But he suddenly remembered the carriage he met on the way after leaving the palace, and no ladies and ladies in the carriage wore that kind of half hat anymore. Mido tall exaggerated hat too.

Grace suddenly realized, "Aristocratic fashion is out of fashion...but it's not the reform's fault."

"Of course it's not the reform's fault," Allen leaned over and patted the back of his hand twice in front of so many people, "it's not your fault."

Grace's fingers curled up under his hand, but Allen's hand didn't go away, wrapping his hand completely.

Grace was very confused and couldn't figure it out, "But whose fault is that? Our original intention is to make the people's lives happier, and we have not slacked off, but why did we cause this kind of dissatisfaction? Or are we doomed?" Can't satisfy everyone at the same time?"

His question made Allen fall into thought.

"Of course it's the fault of the king and the nobles," said Father Banal. "If it weren't for these two cancers that took up so much unreasonable wealth in society, all the people would be happy."

Grace was sure, he didn't like Father Banal's assertive way of speaking, and he didn't like his comparison of the king to a cancer.Maybe people like this kind of interesting and easy-to-understand statement, but it is too arbitrary and unreasonable.

"As I said, the king did not deny the constitution." Grace frowned.

"But what he meant was very clear. He doesn't intend to give up all the privileges." Father Banal also showed the posture of debating with people in the tavern.

They talked back again.

"All privileges? Isn't it impractical for you to use the word 'all'?"

"But those 'all' are unreasonable in the first place! If a surgeon sees a cancerous tumor on a person's body that endangers health, he will definitely not suggest cutting off half of it, leaving the other half—"

"What are you talking about? Are you assuming there is no king!"

"This is not 'my' assumption, this is the thinking of many people. People in the tavern reflect on the failure of France every day. They think that the source is that the monarchy was not completely abolished. It is useless to burn the grass on the surface of the land-- "

"Please don't always use metaphors to talk about these complicated things! If there is no king, who else can mediate the contradictions when the nobles and the central government have differences? If there is no king, what awaits the country is division and civil war. Wouldn’t that push the people into disaster? What exists in reality must be rational. The king has existed in this country for thousands of years to ensure the stability of this country. How dare you assume that he does not exist?”

"Miss Grace, are you applying Hegel's theory? But this person's reputation is all based on slandering Rousseau. His distorted explanation of power is an insult to human rights!"

Grace was completely irritated by him, "You always talk about human rights, but you forget that the kings and nobles you always say you want them to not exist are also human beings, and they also have the human rights you said!"

"I don't deny your point, but all of them add up to less than 5.00% of the population, how can 5.00% of people block the way of 90.00% of five people? You just admitted that you can ignore the wishes of hat shopkeepers to develop the textile industry, so you also agree that the minority must make appropriate sacrifices for the happiness of the majority—”

"Okay, Father Baner!" Allen was also a little angry, interrupted him loudly, and eased his tone slightly, "And Grace, you too, don't get too excited, both of you. We are not at home Wouldn't it be good advice to discuss these matters, and save such contentious subjects for taverns and conference tables?"

He kept holding Grace's hand, stroking the back of his hand reassuringly, and Eva also stared hard at Father Banal, and the dining table fell silent.

"Actually, I have always admired Grace." Siya, who had been unable to participate in this topic, suddenly said, "My father used to have a textile factory, which caught up with a part of the good times and made some money. But then the British cheap Textiles flooded into the country, and many textile factory owners like him went bankrupt at once. We were forced to sell the house and move to a damp and small place. My father didn't adapt to that kind of living environment, but I think it was more of a mood Because of this, he contracted an illness and passed away not long after, and my mother passed away not long after these successive blows. My elder brother took on the responsibility of supporting the family, and he had to pay off the debt left by his father. So I went to be a soldier, and later also... So I admire you, Grace, you are doing great things, protecting the safety of businessmen in this country, so that they can do what they are supposed to do without worrying Injured by the outside world."

Grace lowered her head slightly, "Thank you, Siya, your words are a comfort to me, but what you said is not due to me alone."

"But you played a big role in it, including Allen. William told me many times that he is proud of you, and you two are the most precious treasure in his life."

Grace and Allen couldn't help but glanced at each other, and at the same time slightly looked away, and the hands that were touching were also separated.

Because of that unpleasant conversation, Father Banal said goodbye in advance, and Sia was going to prepare for going to the port the next day, so he didn't stay for dinner.

Alan Stone was supposed to send Sia back, but he was reluctant to leave because Grace had no intention of returning to the palace.He asked Little John to go to the square to find a familiar driver and job, and asked Luke to accompany him to escort Seaa home.

"If it was before, I wouldn't dare; but now there are always patrolling security teams on the street, and the robbers on the street don't dare to show up in the daytime anymore." When watching Sia's carriage leave, Allen said to Grace like this, because Policing the streets was also Grace's first suggestion.

The carriage drove away, they returned to the house, and Grace leaned wearily against the door.
