first commandment

When the embarrassment finally passed, the two sat on the lawn and chatted.In the man-made scenery, you can't feel the flowing wind, and the false sun above your head doesn't give you any warmth.Flora held Amber in her arms, stroking its smooth and flawless fur.

Slein originally looked at the lazy cat limp in her arms, and couldn't help but smile on his face.And she pinched Amber's soft little paw, not knowing what she was thinking.

"How did you come here?" she asked suddenly.

He turned to look at her: "Earl Jung is very worried about you, and he is too embarrassed to speak out, so let me persuade you." He said, "He hopes you have a happy birthday."

"yes……"

"Yes. Of course, it's not just because of him..."

Slein looked down at Amber again.He tried to touch its head, but the little animal suddenly opened its eyes and hugged his hands with its two soft paws.He couldn't help but smile.That expression was reflected in Flora, like an innocent child.Her hand caressing Amber couldn't help but stop for a moment.

"Haha, it's so cute."

"It's not just because of Edgar?" Flora looked at him suspiciously.

His eyes full of sincerity looked at her again.Those eyes had the color of turquoise, calm and soft.Whenever he looked at her like this, she always thought, why are there such gentle people in the world?And whenever such thoughts linger in his mind, it will also bring a sore pain in his chest.That was a very strange feeling, which made her feel a little timid.

"Yes, it's not just Earl Jung... I'm also worried about you."

When he said this, the heart-wrenching sourness swept over Flora's heartache again.She lowered her head, didn't look at him, didn't speak, just scratched Amber's chin with her fingers.

"I hope you have a happy birthday too."

"……yes?"

Flora raised her head, seeing the sincerity in his eyes felt a prick in her heart.

This panic made her start to feel annoyed that she didn't come.He doesn't know how much his words will affect her, does he?He didn't know, that's why he could say these things to her so frankly...

But why doesn't he know?Because she dared not tell him.

She was afraid that if he found out, he would not talk to her like this without barriers again.The ignorant him tormented her, let the anxiety burn her nerves, she hated this, but liked it... because such words could bring her some hope.She was embracing ulterior feelings in the dark, and there was a bottomless abyss beneath her feet, but there was only a thin thread that tied her, and she was crumbling under his unintentional touch...

"You are carrying too many burdens..." He said in that warm voice like the sun, like a warm current pouring into her heart, "At least on your birthday, I hope you can be as carefree as a child to do something fun..."

Why doesn't he call her by her name?She had obviously told him that she wanted him to call her "Flora."Forget it, he actually still used "you"...

Flora frowned unhappily, and her lips, which were like pink rose petals, were tightly pressed together.

"You should be very clear that this is impossible." She said, hugging Amber, who was already asleep, and put it aside, "And... I don't think I am a child."

Then she lay down, crossed her fingers on her stomach, and looked up at the sky.But there was still a sullen and serious expression on his face, just like a little grown-up.

"Is there nothing else? I'm going to take a nap." She said this, but no matter how she looked at her aggrieved look, she didn't look like a person who could fall asleep peacefully.

Eh, why did you make her unhappy...

Slein couldn't grasp the situation, and looked puzzled, so he stopped talking temporarily.

She now reminded Slein of the first time they met, the little girl with the grown-up look.At that time, she was small, like a bright moon, brushing away the cloud-like darkness in the prison, illuminating his eyes.

[We will see you again. 】

That's what she said when we parted.And as she said, they really did meet again.

"Why do you all treat me like a child... so does my mother, and so does that annoying Earl of Freiburg."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Flora simply gave up and poured bitter water on him.

"Why don't you believe me? Why doesn't my mother believe me? I have done everything she asked me to do. I don't want to let her down, but she is still very disappointed in me.

"She felt that Edgar was using me, lying to me. But Edgar didn't, and I believed him. Why couldn't mother trust my judgment of him?

"I'm not a child anymore, I have my own ideas, I know what to do..."

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt.In the past few days, she has been trying her best to avoid thinking about this, but now she can't help it when facing Slein.She was worried about Jung, worried about her mother, and a sense of frustration that she couldn't do anything well.Slay's "you're still a child" remark at this time seemed to confirm her suspicions about herself, as if she was saying that she was indeed an immature child who didn't understand anything.

"That's not what I meant..." He tried to explain, and was a little flustered seeing her red eyes, "I hope you can be carefree and happy forever. I don't know what trouble is..."

Flora listened, and suddenly snorted indifferently.The coldness in that laughter surprised Slein.

"That's impossible," she said.

...and she didn't want that either.

She didn't want him to think of her as a child who knew nothing about the dark.

With an ulterior secret in her heart, she suppressed her desire to look at him, lest the way she looked at him would reveal her most secret emotions.

If she is really like what he said, how can she understand the loneliness in his heart and melt the sadness in his eyes?

After such thoughts floated in her mind, she felt a little self-apologetic for her self-made feelings.She shook her head irritably and closed her eyes.

Enjoying a moment of silence, listening to the ensemble of the sound of his own heartbeat and his breathing.His silent company made her, who had been anxious for a whole week, finally feel a bit of relaxation. After she calmed down, the exhaustion she had been suppressing forcibly surged, and she fell asleep in a daze.

The dream seemed to cater to her state of mind, chaotic and clueless.Although she was asleep, she was not at all restful.

In her sleep, she vaguely felt Amber playing with her hair, which he often did.She grabbed it a little irritably, turned over and carried it into her arms.

Holding the warm little animal in her arms, she finally slept soundly.Shrouded in drowsiness, she was finally able to fall asleep peacefully after nearly a week of mental weakness.

She slept so deeply that the past two hours seemed like a blink of an eye.When she rubbed her eyes in a daze and got up from the lawn, she thought she had only slept for 5 minutes.When she woke up refreshed, all the depression that had troubled her before had dissipated like the clear sky after the rain.

But when she found that what she was hugging was not Amber, but Slein's arm, the comfort she had just recovered suddenly disappeared.

At some point, he also lay flat on the lawn and fell asleep with his arms under his head.His other hand was wrapped around Flora's arms.The distance between the two was neither too far nor too close, but seeing him let go of all defenses and appearing in front of her with the most relaxed posture, she really panicked for a while.

Fortunately, he didn't mean to wake up.Realizing this, Flora became greedy, and quietly lay down again.

She lay on her side, looking at his sleeping profile.She didn't dare to look at him carefully before, but felt that the eight years hadn't left any traces on him.Life in a claustrophobic prison kept him away from sunlight, and his aging pace slowed down a lot.But at this time, it seems that there is not a trace left behind.There was a faint mark between his brows, which Flora knew was left after experiencing too much sorrow and regret.

"'You are the butter on my bread,...'"

Somehow, she suddenly remembered that Jung had mentioned such a sentence before.She didn't remember the source, but she firmly remembered this sentence.At this time, it came to my mind, and I couldn't help but slipped out of my lips like a sigh.But the second half of the sentence was treasured by her in her heart, and she didn't turn it into words.She felt that this sentence was not suitable to be said now, if it was said, it would be a waste and blasphemy, so she decided to keep it as a secret.

Her gaze stayed on his face for only a moment, then moved away nervously.Even though she knew he was asleep, she still felt embarrassed.Unable to grasp the direction of her emotions, she fell into deep thought and turned her gaze elsewhere.Suddenly something shiny attracted her, she looked over subconsciously, and found that the chain of the amulet at his loose collar was exposed.

Ah... this one again.

Appearing in front of her again and again like this must be challenging the limit of her curiosity.She couldn't help thinking like this, she stretched out her hand for the second time mischievously, and carefully picked up the chain with her little finger, and the amulet shining with silver light was once again revealed in front of her eyes.

This time, however, it didn't go as smoothly as last time.Before she could take a closer look, she was interrupted by several calls not far away.

——"Her Royal Highness Princess Flora! Your Royal Highness Princess Flora! Where are you?"

It's Edellizo's voice!Flora's hand trembled, and the thin silver chain and amulet fell on Slein's chest.He frowned, as if he was about to wake up.

"...in, here!!"

Seeing this, Flora immediately got up from the grass and fled away.

When the sound of her footsteps faded away, Slein opened his eyes.Those eyes were clear, without any trace of tiredness.

He slowly sat up from the grass and rubbed his eyes with his hands.

A furry thing rubbed against his hand, and he saw that it was Amber.It looked up, its clear blue eyes facing him.

There was a tired but gentle smile on Slein's expressionless face.And Amber looked at him puzzled, and tilted his head.

He sighed and patted Amber on the head.Then he raised the arm that had been hidden all this time, and what he was holding in his hand was an anemone flower that had lost its moisture and was a little wilted.

After Flora fell asleep in a daze, he wanted to pin this flower in her hair, but he didn't expect her to turn over suddenly and hugged his arm.Seeing that she hadn't been able to sleep well in the past two days, she slept so soundly, he couldn't bear to wake her up.So he also lay down, closed his eyes, and felt this rare peace and freedom.

When Flora woke up, he was drifting off to sleep.But somehow, she who had already got up from the ground lay back down again, and the hands holding his arms tightened again.

what happened?

Unable to figure out the situation, although he was fully awake, he could only close his eyes and continue pretending to be asleep... Then she secretly hooked the amulet out.Reminiscent of the day he just escaped from prison: after waking up, the amulet appeared strangely outside his pajamas...

It turned out that the culprit in both incidents was the same person.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face grew stronger.

Looking at the amulet in his hand, he had an idea.

The full sentence of Flora's sentence in the article is: "You are the butter on my bread, the breath of life."

This quote comes from the movie "Julie and Julia".I've seen it before, it's awesome.

I was in a period of confusion some time ago, and Calvin is gone.I thought a lot about the plot before and after, and now that I have found some feeling, I will recover!

don't stop loving me! ! !This chapter is sweet or not! ! !
