Chapter 9 The Eve
After dinner, Lu went to the balcony of the castle and felt very comfortable while enjoying the cool breeze.
"Lu, you'll catch a cold if you blow the wind here alone." Alice came to Lu's side and reminded him.
"Don't worry, you won't catch a cold. By the way, Alice, I have a few questions, can you answer them?"
"Of course, what's the problem?"
"Where should I live when I get to the academy?" Lu asked this in advance for convenience and to protect Alice's safety.
"Don't worry about this. There is still a house belonging to the Northfield family in the royal capital."
"The noble family is really amazing."
"Yes, that house was awarded by the country. It is very large. I don't even remember how many rooms there are. But there are at least about ten. In addition, there is a hall that can be used to hold parties.
, the living room also has a stove and a sofa that can seat more than 20 people. There is also a canteen that can accommodate about 20 people for eating. Well...it seems that there are also bathrooms, kitchens, etc.
"It's so big."
After hearing the rooms displayed by Alice one by one, Lu was completely shocked. But if she thought about it carefully, now that Alice's family is so grand, there is still a set like this in the royal capital.
The house is considered acceptable.
"Lu, go get some rest early. We have to leave for the royal capital tomorrow."
"Are you going to the royal capital tomorrow?"
"Yes, there are not many days until the end of spring break, so we have to arrive early and prepare."
"Is the royal capital far from here?"
"If we take a carriage, one day is probably enough. If we leave early tomorrow morning, we will probably arrive around evening."
"I understand, by the way, there is one last question left."
"Um?"
"Alice once said, do you have a dream you want to realize? Can you tell me what it is?"
When Lu asked this question, Alice had a sad look on her face. Lu instantly realized that she had asked a question she shouldn't have asked, and for a while she couldn't find a way to break the topic.
, I can only worry about it there.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very awkward. After a long time, Alice finally opened her mouth.
"Sorry, Lu, I can't tell you this wish. Well, go to bed early. I've already arranged your room. It's in the second room in the corridor over there."
After saying that, Alice turned around and left the balcony. Lu looked at her back and felt that there seemed to be an atmosphere of sadness surrounding Alice. Lu didn't know what to do, so she could only watch.
He watched Alice leave.
"I hope she can fulfill her wish by then." Lu shook her head helplessly, and then continued to blow the wind on the balcony. After about 5 minutes, he felt a little sleepy and realized
It was time to go to sleep, so I walked back to the room.
"The second room in the corridor is this one." Lu followed the direction Alice told him, walked to the door of the room, opened the door and walked directly into the room.
After entering the room, Lu walked directly towards the bed. There were quilts and blankets on the bed. There was also a set of clothes on the quilt, which should be pajamas or something like that. However, Lu didn't seem to be.
He didn't have the habit of changing into pajamas for bed. He directly placed his pajamas on a table next to the bed, then hung his coat on a shelf nearby. He dragged his tired body and got into bed.
Then, strong sleepiness came over immediately, and Lu closed her eyes.
However, after he closed his eyes, he still couldn't fall asleep. He always felt that sleeping on the bed made him very uncomfortable. Lying on the bed to sleep seemed unable to make him fall asleep. Then he walked out of the bed and took off his clothes.
He put on the coat that was hung on the rack again, then walked to the corner, sat down on the floor, held the black sword in his hand, and wrapped the blanket around himself. After finishing
After going through this series of actions, he felt that this posture was the most suitable for him to fall asleep. As he thought, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep this time.
Early the next morning
"Lu, Lu, wake up!" Lu, who was sleeping, heard the calling voice, and there was a trace of anger in the voice. Lu couldn't help but open her eyes.
"Huh?...Huh? Ah, Alice? Good morning."
"Good morning, Lu, no! Don't tell me you slept like this last night!"
"Well, actually I slept like this the last time I was in the hotel, I just didn't tell you."
It seemed that Alice came to wake Lu up, but obviously, after entering the room, Alice probably saw Lu sitting on the floor sleeping.
"Why do you sleep like this!"
"I don't know, I just feel like I'm not used to sleeping in a bed, but it's easier to fall asleep in this position."
This is actually true. Lu is really not used to sleeping on that kind of soft bed, but the kind of cold floor, but he is more used to it.
"Get rid of this habit for me in the future and sleep on my bed."
The anger in Alice's words became even more intense.
"No, can this kind of thing be changed at once?"
"If I say you want to change, you must change!!!!"
This time she almost yelled this sentence, but Alice was a quiet girl. Even if she yelled, it was only slightly louder than when she spoke before, and it had no deterrent effect on Lu.
, but gave people a cute feeling. However, Lu obviously did not want Alice to be embarrassed, so in the end she had no choice but to agree to her, saying that she would work hard to adapt in the future.
After Alice heard Lu's promise, she nodded with satisfaction and asked Lu to change clothes as quickly as possible and go downstairs for breakfast.
Lu himself only had the coat and the black sword, and nothing else. After he changed his clothes hastily, he went downstairs to enjoy breakfast with Alice.
Breakfast was bread with cheese and ham, as well as fresh salad and soup. After the two of them finished their breakfast, a maid brought them black tea after breakfast.
"It's so considerate." Lu expressed her feelings after taking a sip of black tea.
"Lu, there will be a carriage coming to pick us up in a little while, and then you will have to start your school life."
"I'm looking forward to it."
After Lu finished speaking, she drank all the black tea in the cup, then stood up and stretched her hands above her head to stretch her muscles.
"I'm going to start living in the academy soon. Well, I have to work hard."
"Let's work hard together, Lu."
"Um."
After a while, a carriage stopped at the bottom of the castle where Alice was. Alice carried a larger suitcase and trudged toward the door.
Lu saw Alice struggling to carry the luggage and staggering towards the door. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the suitcase from Alice's hand and held it in her own hand.
superior.
"Let's go, Alice."
"Thank you, Lu." Alice thanked Lu shyly.
When they reached the door, Alice's father came to the door and said goodbye to Alice. Alice also came to her father's side and hugged her father goodbye again. Lu also knowingly took Alice's luggage away.
He put it on the carriage and looked at the two of them silently.
To Lu's surprise, Alice's father Sar Andat came to Lu, and then said to Lu in an extremely sincere tone: "Alice will leave it to you."
Lu also agreed with a firm tone.
"must."
