Chapter 173: Things Shattered on the Ground
Alan sat at the table with the piece of letter paper with the big transfer list on it.

He was not looking at the table, but just glancing out the window.

On the windowsill stood a song dove, with a white belly and a black back.

Coming against the darkness of night.

Alan watched the birds for a while and listened to the song.

He pinched his forehead and looked at the paper on the table again.

Candlelight flickers.

Legible.

Where the name Hilda was originally written, the name had been blacked out.

Now, the three words "Hilda" are written under the names of Roxy and Sylphy.

He has confirmed that he wants to save the original body's mother.

And the new handwriting was not written today.

But it was three months ago.

One day, as his relationship with Alice continued to heat up, Sylphy was often invited to have tea with her alone.

The decision came naturally.

In the past, when I recall the original storyline in my mind, I always feel that Hilda is as thin as a piece of paper.

However, this is not the case. Hilda is really a nice person, very kind and gentle, making people want to get close to her.

As soon as he came up with the idea, he had already written it down.

however.

It is worth mentioning that.
So far, he has no way to judge whether this is related to his Silent Sword returning to its peak.

Because three months ago, with daily practice, his Silent Sword had shown signs of recovery.

Writing the name came later.

Later, in the swordsmanship class, he also mentioned the issue of the Silent Sword to Gileno, and the other party's judgment was that Alan's skillful accumulation made up for this part of his declining talent, which had nothing to do with his stagnant "desire".

Alan frowned as he looked at Hilda's name.

"Was the previous judgment wrong? Saving Hilda has nothing to do with the sword's heart being dusted? So is it just because I can't respond to Sylphy's feelings at the moment?"

Words like smoke jumped out in front of his face.

[Oh? You think so? ]

'Any questions?'

The handwriting jumps.

[Of course not~]

Alan shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to the system panel that would pop up every time he was thinking about such things, and just narrowed his eyes.

'Hilda'

'If today's feeling is right.'

'She may have realized that 'I' was her child.'

'When it comes to the part about aristocratic etiquette, my subsequent response was too deliberate, and the hastily-made explanation before was also full of loopholes.'

'But she didn't expose it to my face'

Alan lowered his eyes and looked at Hilda's name.

After a moment's silence, he opened the drawer and took out another piece of paper.

There are three lines of words on it.

Responding to Hilda's expectations——(blank)

Responding to Sylphy's expectations——(blank)

Responding to Gilenu's expectations——The Sword of Light.

A long silence.

Alan sighed and lowered his head to scratch his hair randomly.

The system panel laughed again when it saw this scene. The smoke and dust kept jumping in front of his face, and some words were about to pop up, but the next moment, Alan waved his hand to disperse it.

He turned and looked towards the door.

The door was silent.

After a while.

Alan stuffed all the letters back into the drawer, locked it, and stood up from his chair.

The figure crossed the room.

Come to the door.

Hold the door handle.

A crunch.

The door is opened.

There was no one outside the house.

-

a minute ago.

Sylphy stood in front of Allen's door.

She stretched out her hand and placed it in front of the door, her knuckles less than five centimeters away from the door. But after a moment, she shook her head silently.

He silently retracted his hand.

She turned around and looked down at her bare feet, then stepped lightly on the carpet in the hallway and walked towards her room.

What happened this evening, everyone's expressions and words flashed through her mind like light and shadow.

Finally, the picture stopped at Hilda's light words.

"Good night, Alan."

She stopped and felt a cold feedback from the soles of her feet.

She was no longer stepping on the carpet.

Turn your head and look to the side.

What came into view was not the door of his own room.

Instead, there are steps covered with carpets and extending upwards.

Sylphy was stunned for a moment, then turned to look behind her.

The corridor is deep and stretches forward.

Before she knew it, she had reached the end of the corridor, where there was no carpet.

She blinked and looked back at the stairs.

No longer hesitate.

He stepped onto the stairs.

The lamps between the stairs emitted a dim light, and the interior of the Boreas Mansion was quiet at night.

There was only the sound of Sylphy's footsteps.

It didn't take long for her to reach the fourth floor.

This is a familiar path.

She has walked this path countless times in the past six months.

This is a surefire way to answer an invitation to tea in Hilda’s bedroom.

While thinking, he turned around and continued walking along the corridor on the fourth floor.

There will be a covered bridge ahead, just walk across it.

Arrived at the residential area.

Hilda's bedroom was the first one around the corner.

It was the completely private area of ​​the Boreas family. Interestingly, Alice Sauros Philip's bedrooms were not even on the same floor, because each person's bedroom was very large and there was a special beast girl maid room next to it.

The space didn't allow it, and as for the topic of 'privacy' that Hilda was talking about with a smile, Sylphy couldn't put herself in the conversation.

However, during a casual chat, Sylphy learned that Sauros and Philip sometimes did not sleep in the bedroom. The former would rest in a room specially opened up in the tower, while the latter would usually sleep on the sofa in the study.

Will Lord Philip come back to his bedroom to rest today?
Thinking of this, Sylphy stopped.

There is a corridor at the corner in front of me.

She sighed softly and shook her head helplessly.

What happened to me? Although my wife had said that I could come to her anytime if I needed anything, it would be too abrupt to go there so late at night.
Thinking of this, she was about to turn around and leave.

"Snapped."

Sylphy stopped and turned around in surprise.

Although the sound was far away, she heard something breaking, as if it was in Hilda's bedroom.

Without hesitation, Sylphy immediately started running and reached the corner of the corridor in just a few steps.

But he suddenly stopped.

In sight.

The cat-eared girl Li'er was standing in the corridor of the stairs, turning her head to look at her, her tail wagging in the air.

Sylphy's whole body froze. She turned her head blankly and was about to leave as if nothing had happened.

next moment.

Lil spoke up.

"Ms. Sylphy?"

"Ah? I just..."

Sylphy turned around, but before she could panic and start explaining anything.

Li'er raised her finger to her lips and gestured to her to keep quiet.

The air was silent for a moment.

Sylphy was a little stunned, before she could figure out what Lil was doing.

She heard it.

At the other end of the line of sight, in the bedroom, there was a faint sound.
The sound of quarrel.

"boom."

Something else fell to the ground.

Broken.
