I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 34 I Can't Find It

In the next few days, Alicia thoroughly cleaned the castle up and down. She enjoyed it and told herself that she was looking for clues.

Arthur also participated in it, he is very sensible, which also saves Alicia a lot of energy.

The ten-year-old child is also very adaptable to magic. He quickly accepted many magical features of this castle, and even played with that door for many days without getting tired.

She cleaned the windows, cleaned the leaking sink, even brushed the stairs, and the bathroom, honestly, she had never seen such a dirty bathroom, the weeds in the shower terrified her, and the bathtub The color surprised her even more.

I don't know if it's paint or some kind of medicine that dyes the bathtub in colorful colors, and the mirror is also full of spots and stains. It's not so much a bathroom, it's more like a workshop for some kind of evil human experiment.

It took her all day just to clean it.

Some bottles and jars placed on the shelf attracted her attention, and some nouns such as "skin", "eyes" and "hair" were written on it, which made it difficult not to notice.

Alicia guessed at first that it might be made of a girl's body, but after a closer look, she found that most of them were cosmetics such as creams.

She recalled the image of Xia when she got along with him these days. To be honest, it was difficult for her to associate these complex cosmetics with him.

Or, whenever she thinks of him smearing this pile of stuff all over her face, she gets goosebumps.

She put them back in place and scrubbed them clean.

She also made many friends in Eagle Point Harbor these days.

Alicia had never heard of this place when she was in the palace, it should be a very rural unknown town.

But the people here are really warm.

A 90-year-old grandma with her energy is rare in this day and age.

In line with the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, some enthusiastic neighbors nearby will always send some small gifts. When she goes shopping on the street, people here will also give her more vegetables and give her some discounts.

Alicia would accept it with a smile every time, but sometimes she would return some small dishes made by herself, which even Xia Ya praised more than once.

She loves particularly local gifts like some of the worn shells, which she adorns her under-staircase den.

The room became cleaner and cleaner. The cakes and jams in the pantry were neatly arranged, and there were some seasonal vegetables from time to time.

This magic castle also feels more and more like home.

If one day I really leave here, I will probably cry, Alicia thought.

When she was in the palace, she didn't have a friend who could really talk to her. Although the maids responded to her requests, none of them regarded her as a friend, only respect.

After being blinded, she basically had nothing to play with, but just stayed in the palace, living numbly day after day.

Although the imperial palace is large and luxurious, the silent emptiness makes people feel flustered.

Although the place is small, she sleeps with peace of mind every night. She hasn't felt this way for a long time.

But she knew she couldn't stay here forever.

Alicia always felt that that person knew her, but she kept turning a blind eye to her.

Alicia couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.

Therefore, she also left Shaar's room until the end to clean it. She was a little scared, afraid that something would be found in it, which would break her life at the moment.

For example, the girl's heart fragment or the content of the contract between Calcifer and him.

But soon, she dispelled this worry, she must break this curse, she has had enough of being an old lady.

She got up early in the morning, and Eagle Point Harbor was still drizzling with light rain. She tied up her kerchief, rolled up her sleeves, wrapped her apron, prepared her broom, bucket and soap, and walked towards the stairs as if on a battlefield.

Xiaya was reading a book on that balcony, which was what he had been doing these days. He was sitting on the rocking chair Alicia bought a few days ago.

It was a new model from a nearby furniture store, inspired by a child's cradle, and it was very comfortable.

It was very suitable for the elderly to sit and bask in the sun, and she had bought it for a good price, and she was going to sit and bask in the sun by the big lake where the castle now rests.

But she was snatched away by Shaar before she sat for a long time. His butt never left the chair, and he lay on the balcony basking in the sun and reading a book every day.

Every time she saw his lazy look, she felt a little angry.

Let Calcifer bear all the powerful magic of the castle, and leave all the daily chores to himself and Arthur.

And he robbed the 90-year-old lady of the old man, basking in the sun every day without doing anything.

She no longer has any respect for this shameless guy.

As if sensing that someone was looking at him, Xia closed the book and took care of the current Alicia with some interest.

"Will you clean my room?"

"What? Afraid that I might find something inside that I shouldn't have found?" Alicia said with her hands on her hips.

"Not really." Shaar said, "But when you clean it, remember not to move the things inside. Those are magic devices used to avoid the witches of the wilderness."

Hearing this familiar name, Alicia's breathing stagnated slightly. Although she had already guessed that the Witch of the Wilderness knew Shaar in the past, hearing it from him was a different feeling.

"Who is that?" she pursued.

"A trouble." Xiaya commented, "It's a big trouble now, but in the future, it will probably be a small trouble."

"Couldn't that be the woman you've always abandoned before?" Alicia said.

"Why do you think so?" Xia Ya said with a strange expression.

"intuition."

Xia Ya shook his head, "Do you believe it? I've never even seen her."

"Then why is she looking for you?" Alicia asked, "And why are you avoiding her?"

Xiaya seemed to want to say something, but the hurried footsteps from the stairs on one side attracted their attention.

Arthur was running up with small steps, holding a newspaper in his hand, and said excitedly, "Alicia, Char, read this newspaper quickly.

His Majesty the Emperor Moria has passed away! "

pat!

The broom in Alicia's hand fell to the ground. Obviously, the news brought by Arthur had a huge impact on her, and she froze in place.

After a while, she came back to her senses, and immediately grabbed the newspaper in Arthur's hand, staring at the headlines in the newspaper with wide eyes.

While reading the newspaper, she walked slowly downstairs, leaving the bucket and broom here.

Arthur, who came back to his senses, also noticed that Alicia was in a strange mood at this moment. He hurried down the stairs, and saw Alicia sitting by the window with her head bowed, covering her face.

Her body was trembling slightly, and a slight sobbing sound came from her.

And the newspaper fell to one side.

Arthur was a little at a loss. He didn't know if he had done something wrong, so he didn't dare to go forward to comfort him.

He ran up the stairs in a panic.

"Char! Alicia is crying! Go and see!"

Xia Ya was not surprised by this, he got up silently, and put the book in his hand on the rocking chair.

"Why is she crying?" Arthur said anxiously, "Is it because of me?"

"It's not because of you." Char said.

"Why is that?" Arthur asked.

"Because of parting, she lost an important relative." Xia Ya looked at him, "Can you understand?"

Arthur was silent for a moment and said, "I can understand, when the dean's grandma died, I kept crying."

After a pause, he asked, "What can we do?"

"Help her clean the room." Shaar said.

Arthur came back to his senses, looked at the bucket and broom on the ground, nodded and said, "I see."

Shaar didn't say another word, but walked down the stairs directly.
Alicia was still sitting by the workbench sobbing, her body shaking uncontrollably.

He silently walked to her side, picked up the newspaper from the ground, looked at the content and said with emotion.

"I thought it would take more than ten days for the news to reach Eagle Point Port, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Hearing this, Alicia raised her head and looked at Shaar with tears on her face, "You knew about this a long time ago?"

Suddenly, Alicia seemed to realize something, snatched the newspaper from Xiaya's hand, and looked at the time of death on the obituary, it was the time Xiaya went out with that god of death.

"You took me and took His Majesty Moria?"

"It's death."

Shaar said seriously, "As long as you are human, you will never be able to escape death. This is the fate of human beings.

Death does not bring death, but death brings death, and he is only responsible for leading the soul to where it should go. "

Xia looked at Alicia, "He guided the souls of many people that day, and this emperor is the last one."

Alicia lowered her head and fell silent. She still understood her father's body, and she was also very clear about many reasons.

But she never thought that this moment would come so unexpectedly, not even in time for the last one.
"I chatted with him for a while." Xia Ya said, "The chat was very good. He gave me a box and entrusted me to give the box to his third daughter who disappeared not long ago."

Alicia raised her head and looked at Xia quietly, but said nothing.

Xia Ya sighed, "Unfortunately, I really can't find where his third daughter is."

"Can't even find magic?" Alicia said.

"Magic is not omnipotent." Shaar said.

"Where is the box now?" Alicia asked.

Shaar raised his hand, and the exquisitely shaped box slowly appeared in his hand.

Alicia, on the other hand, kept staring at the box.

"You seem to care about that emperor very much." Xia Ya looked at her with great interest and said.

Alicia withdrew her gaze, wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and tried her best to calm down.

"I just think that he was a good emperor, so it's a pity to die like this."

Xia nodded, as if he believed what Alicia said.

"Since you value the emperor so much, I will leave this thing to you for safekeeping until you find the third emperor's daughter."

He placed the box on the side table.

"Leave it to me?" Alicia didn't respond for a while.

"I have no place to put it in my room." Shaar said casually, "Besides, I'm really not a person who knows how to keep things. If I keep it, I might not be able to find it someday."

"I can't deny that."

After these days of cleaning, Alicia has a very clear understanding of Shaar's ability to organize and place items.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going to take a bath, Calcifer, prepare hot water for me."

Shaar said to Calcifer, and then turned and walked up the stairs.

He hasn't showered for many days, and now that the bathroom is clean, he needs to take a good bubble bath.

"It's really troublesome, why take a shower early in the morning." Calcifer complained, "Alicia, add some wood for me."

Alicia looked at the box, and then at the stairs Xiaya passed by, her eyes glowed, but she didn't speak.

She silently got up and walked over to add a few logs to Calcifer, and then it wheezed and heated up the bath water for Char.
