Princess' personal painter

"No." Erica said lightly.

The person behind him walked around involuntarily, and asked in a humble tone: "We are hunting a person here in Silesia, and I want to ask if Miss has seen her?"

Hearing the word "hunting", Erica's heart couldn't help jumping, and she looked at the person vigilantly. Only then did she faintly realize that there was an unfathomable aura about this person dressed as a monk in white robes. Perhaps her strength was greater than her own. superior.She took a step back indiscriminately, and saw the monk took out an image condensed by magic, and asked with a smile, "I don't know if miss has seen her?"

To her surprise, the person on the video was Irene.

In other words, it was Irene who appeared in Floz as an imperial princess.

why is that?The Holy See is also sending people to hunt down Irene?

An inexplicable uneasiness surged in Erica's heart, and she pretended to be calm and replied: "Isn't this the guy who claims to be the princess of the empire? I heard that he is with the princess of the rebel army, right?"

"Rebel army?" The surprise on the monk's face flashed, and he continued, "But we received information that she did not stay with Ruolin's princess, but was hiding in the southern town with a high probability. Has Miss heard anything?"

It was only then that she realized that she had accidentally exposed her position. Erica's face turned cold, and she didn't want to entangle with the people of the Holy See. She said coldly: "Then I don't know, you should investigate it yourself."

After that, Erica turned and left without looking back.

After the girl's figure disappeared into the rain, a knight of the Holy See came to the monk and asked puzzledly: "This girl is also very suspicious, why didn't she be arrested and interrogated?"

The ageless monk seemed to be remembering something, and said to himself: "She has a familiar aura, as if she is an old friend from a long time ago... It's really strange, they should have something to do with each other Not at all, could it be my illusion?"

"Sir?" the subordinate next to him asked anxiously.

The monk stopped thinking and shook his head: "She should have nothing to do with the target. We have only one mission goal this time, and there is no need to do extra things. You must also remember this. After arriving in the southern town, act secretly. Don’t startle the enemy before you catch the target, it will be very troublesome if that princess Ruolin confronts us.” After a pause, the monk added: “Also, the girl’s breath just now is very unusual, even if Even I can't subdue her in a short time..."

"Understood, please forgive my overstepping the rules."

After waving his hands to let his subordinates leave, the white-robed monk stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, regaining his composure, watching the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

The situation in Silesia is obviously becoming more and more unpredictable.

Chapter 77 belongs to their "studio"

This prolonged heavy rain, which lasted for two full days and two nights, seriously interfered with Erica's search.Not knowing how the battle in the north was going, she finally became anxious.The only good news is what I encountered before. The Holy See sent a team to hunt down Irene and went to the south not long after, which relieved a scruple.

And on the third day, Erica finally discovered Erin's location.

However, in terms of the process, rather than saying that she found Irene, it might be better to say that Irene deliberately released her breath to attract her here.In what was originally an empty wilderness, unexpected buildings appeared—some familiar alleys in Karenin City, dark classical and dignified double-storey houses, and the stairs extending to the studio on the second floor.

Standing in this scene, Erica was in a daze for a while.

For a moment, because of this incredible scene, she thought she had traveled back to a year ago, back to the time when she was studying with her in the studio.However, Erica soon realized that this was the "magic" that belonged to Irene that she had seen in Camilla's underground palace.

Just like a painting, the things in memory are reproduced in front of the eyes, exactly.

Indeed, in terms of painting, Irene has an unparalleled talent.What Erica didn't want to admit was that the part that attracted her to Irene back then also included this pure talent.

After nearly a year, Erica experienced Erin's painting again, but she was slightly shaken, but she just frowned, and walked upstairs along the familiar steps without saying anything.

Since such a "fantasy" has been set up, there must be some intention.

With Erica's current strength, it's easy to break the illusion in front of her, but she didn't do it.She wanted to know Irene's intentions, even though she knew that it might be a trap for her.

Taking a deep breath, Erica pushed open the studio door.

In the familiar studio, Erin was sitting diagonally across from the door, drawing something on the drawing board in front of her. When she noticed Erica coming in, she raised her head with a joyful expression on her face, and said, "Erica, you But I'm almost late, the class is about to start, come sit here!"

Beside Irene, Yaniweier was boringly arranging the parasol in her hand, without raising her head, she said in her usual indifferent tone: "Let me guess, Erica's homework will definitely be done this time." It's not finished yet, is it?"

"It's rude to talk like that." Irene turned her head and said in a low voice.

"I didn't intend to make Erica like it anyway." Yaniweier replied indifferently.

When they met this time, this unexpected way of unfolding just made Erica stand motionless at the door, watching the two people's "performance" with cold eyes.

"Although there were some misunderstandings before, I still hope to reconcile with Erica." After speaking, Erin turned her head to look at Erica, and said sincerely, "Actually, I was a little embarrassed to say before, Although I liked the 'Miss' at that time more, but the feeling of being a cold beauty is also very good now!"

A look of surprise appeared on Yaniweier's face, and she complained in a low voice: "This atmosphere seems a bit wrong, right? Is today's Irene going to start with an emotional offensive?"

"Although I don't want to admit it myself, who makes girls emotional creatures? So, a proper atmosphere is very important." As if thinking of something subtle, Erin's cheeks turned slightly red, "And , I think even Erica would be happy if someone praised her, right?"

As she spoke, Eileen's emerald-like pupils stared at Erica at the door without blinking.

As for Yaniweier next to her, she showed an expression of "Are you an idiot", and even complained about inappropriate content: "Obviously this 'cold beauty' hurt me a few days ago, Irene really Unforgettable old love, it seems that not walking with you at the beginning may be the biggest failure in my life."

"enough!"

This reprimand caused the temperature in the studio to drop several degrees suddenly.

I saw obvious anger in Erica's eyes, and the fingertips of her right hand were dancing with flames. She looked like she might be in trouble at any time, and said in a cold voice: "I know what my past is like. You don't need to go to great lengths to laugh at me, and I won't be shaken by it. Irene, now you and her together are no match for me, obediently go back with me."

After saying these words, Erica originally thought that she would encounter resistance from the other party, but unexpectedly Erin nodded simply: "I intend to go back with you, but in exchange, I would like to make a condition, is that okay?"

Erica was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyebrows: "What conditions?"

"Forget the enmity between us, forget our current position, let's pretend that this is still the original studio, and the three of us get along well again, okay?"

After speaking in a requesting tone, Erika found that Erica had fallen into a long silence, and Erin added: "Erica, I have never lied to you, have I? I have never lied to you before, and I will never lie to you now and in the future. , please believe me, even just this once, okay?"

After a long time, Erica asked in an obviously hoarse voice: "Is there any point in doing this kind of thing?"

"I don't know what's the point now, I just want to try it. I just think that there are so many possibilities in this world, and there is absolutely no such thing as falling into despair." After a pause, Erin There was a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, "Even if Erica abandoned me in the snowfield when I was worthless, I still found another life, didn't I?"

Erica turned cold, and subconsciously said: "Do you think you found it yourself? I just want to see if the Princess Ruobin you are thinking about is really as perfect as you said."

Tears welled up in Eileen's eyes: "As expected, Erica must have followed me quietly at that time, and didn't leave at ease until I was rescued? Thinking that I was not abandoned by Erica at that time , I'm really happy to have your tenderness even in invisible places!"

"It's meaningless to say this now!" Erica clenched her fists and did not deny it.

Irene shook her head and said seriously: "Erica just went to defend, which means you still care about what I think. I know, no matter whether our current conversation is meaningful or not, I have been preparing for this day for a long time .So I will speak out my thoughts and feelings, and I only hope to exchange for your true thoughts...Even if the hope is slim, I am willing to take this as a big gamble."

"If you lose the bet, everything you have now will be taken away." Erica announced indifferently.

"Is that so? Is this your purpose?" Upon learning of this crucial information, Irene's face turned pale, but she still chose to move on, and whispered, "For a person to bet Everything about myself, even if I have experienced it once, I will still be afraid. However, if the judge is Erica, I will regret it for the rest of my life if I retreat like this, please accept the fate I have delivered."

"Not only Irene, but also a classmate who is insignificant in the relationship between you two."

Yaniweier's face became quite ugly, and she said expressionlessly: "Although I can't resist Erin's will, I'm really not willing to let her face this kind of thing again. Please also ask Erica For the sake of our former classmates, please be kind to us."

With a soft snort, Erica approached the two of them slowly, and cast a cold glance at Yaniweier: "Student Jacob, you are so weak that you beg the enemy for mercy. Has even the proud vampire become so low?"

Yaniweier pursed her lips, with an unfathomable mocking smile on the corner of her mouth: "I haven't told you yet, my real name is Yaniweier Xueluo, the fallen princess of the Foga Kingdom, the royal family The dignity of the members will only be revealed when I think it is necessary... As for Irene, you should know her true identity, right? The princess of the old empire who has been sleeping for 300 years, is she still thinking about her relationship with you? Friendship? Is it a sense of accomplishment that two important figures are begging you for mercy?"

This point just hit Erica's weakness. She thought that when she first met Irene, she still underestimated that rustic and timid girl back then. He rose up, and said nothing with a cold face.

Just at this moment, there was a gentle and gentle touch from the hand. It turned out that Irene had stood up and took Erica's hand while she was not paying attention.Erica subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but saw Erin happily say: "It's really great that Erica can agree to my request, sit between us like the previous position, is that okay?" ?”

At this time, the distance between the three of them was extremely close. If Irene and Yaniweier jointly attacked her, even she would find it difficult to resist.During the days when she was being hunted down, Erica had already developed the habit of being vigilant to everything around her, and she would never let herself fall into a situation of being pinched.

However, obviously still angry at Yaniweier's words, she still sat down.

But even so, a terrible thought still flashed through Erica's mind when she was held by Erin and sat down.If this is a trap carefully designed by the other party, all the arrangements and all the touching words just now are for her to come to this position... If this is the case, in the next moment, she will definitely be attacked by the two. Thunder offensive.

Her carelessness at this time may lead to the complete defeat of the plan.

On the other hand, Erica felt great fear for a moment when she thought that the attachment to the only good memory that had just been awakened was about to be shattered.Just at this time, a voice in my heart seemed to laugh at her innocence...

"Erica? What's wrong?"

Called back to consciousness by Erin's voice, Erica saw the girl's healing smile, which contained the same sincerity as before, quietly dispelling her fear.Erica pursed her lips, turned her head away with complicated thoughts, but was stunned again by what she saw.

In the work on the drawing board in front of her, a young girl stands on the deck and looks sideways into the distance. Her beautiful golden hair flutters in the sea breeze. It is undoubtedly Erica. foreseeable future.I only heard Eileen say embarrassingly in my ear: "I drew a portrait of you when I was still in Karenin, but unfortunately I couldn't bring it out at that time... This is the time when Erica was the most temperamental in my memory, so I did it without authorization. Do you like it if you draw it?"

Chapter 78 The "Saint" Who Breeds Death

"Why do such a thing?"

In this painting, the blond girl looks focused, which is exactly what she looked like when she was still full of longing for the future. Looking at the "self" in the past, Erica was finally moved.She suppressed her emotions and whispered: "You should know? We can never go back to the past!"

"It's not that you are remembering the powerless past, but looking forward to a future that may change." Irene responded softly to her, changing the subject, "Erica, I remember... when you were still in the studio, you actually didn't take care of yourself. Have you ever learned how to draw?"

Erika pursed her lips and stared at Erin without saying a word.

"It would have been nice if I had noticed earlier, but it's not too late now..." As she said, Erin picked up the paintbrush on the shelf and handed it to Erica, "What is there in painting?" If you are troubled, you can consult me, probably only in this respect I have the confidence to teach others.”

Erika took the paintbrush stiffly, and asked in a cold voice, "To laugh at my poor painting skills? Or to imply that I had ulterior motives when I approached you?"

Erin shook her head: "I don't care about those things, I just want to paint with you."

Yaniweier on the other side interjected: "Actually, Erika's drawing skills at that time were not much worse than mine. It's all because she was too absent-minded in class that she got such a low evaluation."

Irene also picked up the paintbrush, thought about it and said, "Now that Mr. Laceter is not here, can I just write the question? Let's draw a picture with the theme of 'Future', shall we?"

Yaniweier asked in distress: "The future? This concept seems to be very broad?"

"That's right, what do you think of the 'future'? Anything that fits in your mind is fine? There are not too many restrictions." Irene nodded and turned to the silent blond girl , "Erica, there is no problem on your side, right?"

After a while, Erica gave an inaudible "hmm".

The following time seemed to return to the countless mornings the three of them had spent together in Theo Lessiter's studio a year ago. The warm winter sun slanted on the floor. Facing their respective drawing boards, the rustling sound of painting gives people an unparalleled tranquility.Erica closed her eyes lightly, and really felt the realm that Irene just mentioned, forgetting the hatred, forgetting the hostile position, and feeling the back-to-basics friendship that only belonged to the first meeting.

Erika's eyes were soaked with long-lost tears.

It was at this moment that Erica realized that Erin's actions were right, and the experience at this time was of great significance to Erin and "Mia" as well as to herself. .In this world, there is no doubt that Irene is the only one who would think of such a special way to touch her.

She really felt the indescribable charm of Irene again.

Yes, at that time, she had already made up her mind to stay away from her, but she still couldn't forget this person. Even when she was sleeping, she would dream about the scenes during those few months together... When I came to Floz in Silesia, Isn't it just a glimmer of hope to reunite with Irene?Wasn't it precisely to resolve the sins between each other that they were induced by Elder Enoch to participate in that plan?

For Erica, it is precisely because of the unspeakable feelings that she cast on Irene early that when that extravagant hope is brutally broken, she becomes so painful.

The paintbrush in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and Erica covered her cheeks with her hands, but she couldn't restrain the tears gushing out from the bursting embankment—since she said goodbye to Erin in the snowy field, she had been trying not to show herself Weakness came, but after all, he fell into sadness and helplessness in front of the most undeserving person.

"Hey, Erica, why are you crying? Is there something sad? How about we find a place to have a big meal later?" Erin took the handkerchief from Yaniweier , handed it to Erica, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Let's take a look at the 'future' we drew first!"

Erika took the handkerchief in a daze, and wiped away her disappointing tears in embarrassment.

She guessed right, this was really a trap carefully arranged by Irene, but even though she was prepared to guard against it, this overly gentle trap easily crushed her outer body and exposed her fragile body. It is no longer possible to treat Erin with the cold attitude just now.

After finally stopping her tears, she happened to meet Erin's concerned eyes. Erica bit her lip and said in a low voice, "If you have anything to say, just say it as soon as possible. I'm listening."

Aware of the big change in Erica's attitude, Eileen showed obvious joy, but she didn't say much, but took the work Yaniweier had drawn, put it in front of the three of them, and chuckled She commented: "At first I thought Wei Er's works would be more unique, but I didn't expect to be so petty."

Yaniweier's painting is very simple. The main body is a hut in the forest. There are two girls sitting back to back on the roof. It is clear at a glance who they are by looking at their hairstyles.This pair of paintings maintains her usual fresh and delicate style, but this time it highlights the warm artistic conception.

Hearing Irene's evaluation, Yaniweier said frankly: "Anyway, I have met someone who can get along with me all the time. It would be the best for me if I can settle down in one place with peace of mind." She said, Her usual pair of light gray pupils looked at Irene without blinking, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Erin blushed slightly, avoiding the vampire girl's longing eyes, turned to her newly completed work, and introduced softly: "About the content of my painting, you should have seen it in that underground labyrinth, although It seems a bit embarrassing to come out... This is my conception of the 'world'."

In the labyrinth under Camilla, both of them have seen the "Utopia" built by Irene, and it is presented here in a different form. The colorfully painted houses and childlike stone bricks on the screen meander The meandering river and the large windmills for decoration, although it is a bit naive to compare with Irene's previous standards, but it does fully express the longing for "beautiful".

Yaniweier watched the picture quietly, and couldn't help asking: "Is this the wish of the pitiful princess? Would you like to save the world like your sisters?"
