Evetrona's old stories

"It's normal if you don't know. Old Andwena is a member of the research institute, but he is old now, and he doesn't care about things there." Mrs. Hyde said, "I heard Shilin say that Ologin wants you to Going to Qingshui Castle to stay for a while, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, he mentioned this to me earlier." Eve added after a little deliberation, "Nanfen also agreed."

"Clearwater Castle is a good place." Mrs. Hyde nodded slowly, "It's better than here, the lifeless people here are all old guys who don't understand the style."

Eve didn't know how to respond to her, so she lowered her head and smiled.

"You actually think so in your heart, don't you?" Mrs. Hyde smiled, "If Benlong Castle is a place that men yearn for, then Qingshui Castle...is a fairy tale for girls. You should go there and have a look , the two sisters, Sigourney and Tyrian, will definitely like you too."

"Sigourney and Terian... why do I think this name sounds familiar." Eve felt that she had heard it before, but she couldn't remember it.

"Of course you have heard of the seventeen founders of Kriging, do you have any impression?"

Sigourney and Tyrian, the youngest pair of sisters among the Founders.They were around 140 years old when the People's Republic of China was founded. If counted, they should be at least [-] years old now.

Eve's eyes widened. She had only read the histories of these people in books, but now she realized for the first time that among these people, there were some still alive.

"Sigourney and Terian, are they living in Qingshui Castle now?" Eve asked.

"Of course, these two witches are the current masters of Qingshui Castle." Mrs. Hyde replied.

While the two were talking, the servant Nadraorola stopped what she was doing and was staring at Mrs. Hyde in a daze.

"What's the matter, Nadraola?" asked Mrs. Hyde.

"The suit is ready, why don't you let her try it on today, lest you forget later," she said.

"I remember, look at you, you are more anxious than me." Mrs. Hyde complained and smiled again, "Go get it, Nadraola, then let her try it on."

Eve listened to the two talking, with a blank expression, not knowing what they were going to do.

Nadraorola hurriedly left again.Mrs. Hyde turned her head to Eve and said, "Look at how diligent she is...I can't wait to see how you look in it."

"What?" Eve asked with a smile.

"Aren't you going to Qingshui Castle? So I prepared a set of clothes for you. Do you remember what I mentioned to you before? In the past, the female knights of Shengfengyue all had a set of parade clothes..."

Just as she was talking, Nadraorola's voice came from the door: "Miss Eve, my lord princess, come here quickly, let's try on new clothes!"

"Go." Mrs. Hyde pushed her with a smile.

When she returned to the living room, Eve had already changed into her dress.

This is a moon-white knight uniform-a double-breasted jacket with gold trim, black leather trousers, and moon-white chaps, boots, plus a majestic crimson shoulder cloak-the velvet The cloak covered only the left side of her body, just below the elbow.

Although the clothes looked thick, they didn't feel stuffy in this summer weather, perhaps because of the special gemstones inlaid in them.

Nadraorola re-combed her hair, braided it into two braids and put them on the outside, so that her blond hair was completely loose behind her, but it didn't look messy.

"It's so beautiful." Mrs. Hyde praised, "It's a pity that I'm not in good health now, otherwise I must draw a portrait of you."

"Can you still draw?" Eve asked in surprise.

"She knows it." Nadraola rushed to answer, "Look at that portrait—" She pointed to the bust portrait above the fireplace in the room, "That's what our wife drew when she was young."

The portrait depicts a handsome man in a dark dress, with neatly combed hair, holding a small white dog in his arms.

The paint on the portrait has faded slightly due to time, but only the lip color is still vivid and impressive.

Eve could guess the identity of the person in the painting, but out of politeness, she hadn't taken the initiative to ask.

"This... is Grand Duke Hyde?" Eve asked.

"Yes, Hackson Hyde." Mrs. Hyde nodded with a smile, "I was only 25 years old when I drew this picture, but he was already over 50 at that time."

"But it looks very young." Eve sighed.

"Yeah, like a boy... It's been like this for most of my life, and when I got old, he was still like this." Mrs. Hyde was quite emotional when she recalled the past, "Since the first time I saw him, I have been fascinated by his pair of lips—I have never seen such beautiful lips, and they are so fresh under the moonlight." After she finished speaking, she looked at Eve with a smile, "Do you want to hear about my past?"

"Can you?" Eve asked.

"Of course." Mrs. Hyde patted her arm, "Sit down, let's talk slowly."

"Should I go and change this suit first?"

"It doesn't matter, sit down. Although this outfit is called a parade outfit, it is essentially a kind of knight outfit. Although it is gorgeous, it is also practical - long-distance horseback riding, trekking across mountains and rivers is also easy."

Eve nodded and sat beside her.

Mrs. Hyde told her some of Hackson Hyde's past.

Hackson Hyde is the No.16 heir of the Hyde family, and he who inherited the blood of the Hyde family naturally has a handsome face and rare talents in the world.

"You also know that in the early years, he was fighting against Kriging's Logos Institute, and later he was forced to compromise, accepted their offer, and joined them." Mrs. Hyde said, "At that time, I was probably only a few years old, and I didn't know about these things. I didn't know from my mother until I was a teenager that the leader of the family was such a great person."

"You mean...you and Grand Duke Hyde..."

"Yes, our names are Hyde, and he's one of my older brothers," said Mrs. Hyde.

But strictly speaking, if counted according to Klicking's kinship, Hackson Hyde should be the uncle of Ecmona Hyde.

"Maybe in the eyes of the Kriging people, this kind of combination seems a bit weird, but in the eyes of the old nobles on the west coast, this is also a common thing." Nadraola explained to Eve, "Mrs.

The rain outside the window was profuse, and it was approaching evening, but it still didn't mean to stop.

Mrs. Hyde told many of the old things she remembered about Huxon—not as a knight, not as the head of the family, not even as a husband, but as a... friend.

Eve had heard people say that Grand Duke Hyde's marital status was complicated, but only now did she understand what this sentence meant.

"Haxon and I have never been husband and wife." Mrs. Hyde said calmly, "But I am actually very satisfied to be a couple in name with him. He is such an excellent person."

Mrs. Hyde—the Emmanuel back then, before she married Hackson Hyde, this man sneaked into her house in a quiet night. The two of them were separated by a window. Under the bright moonlight, Hackson handed her a letter and left without saying a word.

That was the first time Emmanuel saw Hackson, and she was fascinated by the man's demeanor only from this aspect.

After the other party left, Emmanuel opened the letter, and only then did she know that the other party was her well-known engagement partner, but looking at the contents of the letter again made her feel complicated.

In the letter, Hackson first complimented her, and then said bluntly that he already had someone he liked—he sincerely apologized to Ecmona, and mentioned to her cryptically: This letter is evidence. If Ecmona finds it unacceptable, she can forward this letter to her father, so that the engagement can be dissolved.

Emmanuel was very angry at the time, but felt dumbfounded.She just thought about it all night, and put the letter away at dawn. She still felt reluctant to part with this man and wanted to wait and see again.

Sure enough, when the wedding date was approaching, Hackson found her again when he saw that the other party had not moved—it was still at night.

"You don't mind?" he asked very briefly.

"If you mind, then mention it yourself, don't use me as a gunman." Aike Manna replied at that time, her tone was not kind.

As a result, the two got married in this way, and after so many years, they tacitly never mentioned this strange incident before marriage.

"Duke Hyde... really has a sweetheart?" Eve couldn't help asking.

"Probably so," replied Mrs. Hyde. "I thought at first he was making excuses—or they might have been excuses—but then I heard from others that he had had women he liked before. I only know that the other party is a Krigin, a liar, and a spy sent by the Logos Institute to trick him into submitting to Klickin, so he ran away after the incident. In the end, Hackson may just like it unilaterally. People."

"There is such a thing?" Eve also felt aggrieved by this.

"These are trivial things. He has a lot of secrets in his heart, and I don't want to know."

Hackson married his own niece-although he seemed reluctant before the marriage, but after marriage, he transformed into a model and competent husband.

In dealing with his wife, Hackson is very considerate and patient.He can temporarily put down the work at hand and cooperate with her to complete a portrait. If she is not happy, he will take her on a trip to the mountains and rivers, and even cook himself on certain memorable days, making a warm dinner that is not rich.

Emmanuel admitted that during the forty years after her marriage, she lived a very happy and fulfilling life, except for...that aspect.

She didn't understand what was the layer between the two that made Hackson never "touch" her once.

Because of this, Aikemena felt a little depressed, and the better Hackson treated her, the sadder she felt.Hackson is undoubtedly an empathetic person, and it's not that he doesn't understand his wife's thoughts—in the face of Emmanuel's active invitation, which was full of shy seduction and temptation later on, even though he already had a physical impulse, he refused to take a step forward.

"He is really a man." When Mrs. Hyde said this, her tone was full of hatred. "If he has problems in that area, then I will admit it, but it turns out that he is fine, that's good."

Eve blushed and smiled embarrassingly.

Maybe it was because of anger, or shame——Eikemena couldn't tell herself—she ignored him for more than half a year. Over time, the two became estranged like this, and when Huxon reappeared, On his shoulders was a baby dragon the size of a parrot.

He said to her: "Aimang, we can raise him together." But to be honest, Ecmona really couldn't fall in love with a dragon, but seeing his sincere appearance, Ecmona couldn't bear it. Refused, after all, she also wanted to seize this opportunity to reconcile with him.

So, Ekmanna endured the discomfort and temporarily agreed to Hackson's request.Harkson seemed very pleased with this, and he put the baby dragon into her arms, and told her that the dragon's name was "Woggmanning".

Fuge Manning is very smart, much smarter than Ekemena imagined.Together with Hackson, she raised this rare proto-dragon, watched the dragon grow up day by day, and taught him to speak and communicate with him. Toulong unconsciously gave him the sincerity like a mother's love.

During the days of raising dragons with Harkson, she gradually forgot the unhappiness between the two of them, but Vegmanning grew up too fast, and there was no place in the castle in the inner city that could accommodate him. Creatures like dragons are definitely not kind in the eyes of ordinary people-and therefore, it is obvious that Vegmanning cannot always be by her side.

"Wugmanning is a good boy," said Mrs. Hyde. "He may have a softer heart than a man. Some nights I will open the window, and if he finds me, he will fly round the castle for a while."

After hearing her words, Eve's heart was touched.

"I told Nadraorola to ask the guard to read the novel you wrote, so the guard came to read it. After I listened to it, I realized that he also misses Huxon very much... Oh, I listened to it several times, which is really good."

The rain stopped and Mrs. Hyde finished her story, but it was getting dark.Eve had no choice but to stay in the castle overnight after Nadraorola tried her best to persuade her to stay.The ancient castle is still as quiet, lonely and cold as it was half a century ago, or even longer.

In the darkness, Eve couldn't sleep, she was staring at the slender willow window.

At this moment, she was thinking: Could there be a shadow wandering outside the window? He dragged his huge body without making a sound, like a gentle white whale, slowly cruising on the warm ocean.

[155] Commitment · Baptist (Part [-])

After the simulated combat match ended, the Academy of Knights arranged a relatively short duel in August - the rules were very simple, three people from each of the three parties would fight one-on-one with one-handed swords, and then count the total points to determine the outcome.

In this competition, Eve, whose swordsmanship was far above the level of her peers, became a drag on the team. Although she had improved a little under the guidance of Buron these days, she almost never won the competition—she herself attributed this failure to her physical disadvantage.

At the end of the game, Asder side narrowly defeated Gorgon side and won this time.However, in this competition, it was Herzik who showed the most conspicuous performance. After all, he defeated all his opponents - this knight's swordsmanship is really clean and neat, with a softness in the masculinity, which is almost invincible.

But it's a pity that Herzik is leaving, saying that he is going to Sun Island.He wanted to leave not because of Eve, but on the contrary, he delayed leaving for a few months in order to return Lotilan's favor.

"I will remember you." Herzik said to Eve before leaving: "You must win the final victory and lead Shengfeng Mountain to glory again, because then, I can proudly say to others that I have also done things under your hands."

This kind of politeness made Eve feel a little embarrassed to hear it, so she also complimented: "You are also very unusual, and your achievements in the future will definitely be greater than mine, even Luo Tilan."

"You flatter me too much." Hezik shook his head with a smile.

The young man got on his horse, left Shengfeng Mountain, and was alone so far—he resolutely embarked on the road he chose.

After he left, Eve was in a bit of trouble, because she was faced with a situation where no one was available for a while.Although there is still no shortage of talents in Luotilan, Eve has no plans to fill the vacancy in the short term, because September is approaching—as long as there is news from Olukin, she can leave for a while.

August [-]th was originally an ordinary day, but for Eve, this day was a bit unusual.

That day, Eve and Forge Manning went to Shuo Banhai.They started fishing all day in the morning and didn't go back until evening. When they passed the city gate, she saw many people gathered near the gate.

"Then what's going on down here?" Eve looked around.

"It seems that two outsiders have come." Fuge Manning's eyes were better.He slowed down his flying speed and lowered his body until Eve could see the figure of the outsider clearly.

People gathered around the square, including students, soldiers, teachers and civilians.Standing on the outermost side are several guards wearing the uniforms of the Knight Academy.The black shadow flitted across the crowd. Some people saw the giant dragon hovering in the sky, and they were attracted by this giant again, and they all exclaimed and screamed.

Eve saw the two "outsiders" clearly.

Obviously, it was a knight and his servants.

The knight was wearing a white gown with a chain mail blouse on the outside, a sword on his waist, and a spear with a wooden handle slanted on his saddle. He was riding a strong white horse and stood on the stone bridge outside the main gate of Benlong Castle.

The master and servant sat on their horses with their chests straight, while the guards on the other side held their sword hilts, as if they refused to let him go.

"Wait a minute... I seem to know that person!" Eve yelled, and she saw the appearance of the white horse rider clearly.

"You know him?" Vogel Manning raised his head in the air, and Eve quickly grabbed his scales.

"It's a bandit, I remember it clearly, he almost robbed me at that time." Eve's tone was a little anxious.

She still remembered the appearance of the bandit. After all, the other party's beautiful appearance and Xuemo-like sharp ears left a deep impression on her at the time, and she remembered at this moment that she seemed to have stabbed the other party——in on the thigh.

Just as he was in a daze, Fuge Manning had lowered his body, and Eve quickly said, "Huge, what are you doing down here? Let's go back first, and don't join in the fun."

"Since the enemy has come to the door, it's time to get rid of it now." Fuge Manning said.

Eve was startled, and she persuaded, "Don't worry, just take a look... Maybe I made a mistake."

At this time, the man on the stone bridge raised his head and saw the beast that covered the sky and the sun.On the dragon's head covered with thorns, a small head was looking out, just looking at each other from a distance, but the knight recognized this person, and he smiled brightly at her.

"It seems that you are not mistaken, he also knows you." Fu Gemanning said.

Before she could stop it, Eve saw the proto-dragon opened its mouth, and there was a muffled sound in its throat as it inhaled. She knew it would be useless to dissuade her at this time, so she had to cover her ears first.

A thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire Benlong Castle, and all the people below the city gate hugged their heads. They were so shocked by the sound that their minds became dizzy, and some even squatted down, showing a look of fear.

Although the knight and his servant suppressed the shock in their hearts, the horses under them were frightened, so they had to jump back to the ground to appease these timid companions.

Eve finally persuaded Fuge Manning to let him land on the open space at the other end of the stone bridge.The knight has been watching them—at this time, not only did he not show a trace of timidity on his face, but it was full of surprise and expectation.

Eve stepped on the dragon's cone scales and jumped to the ground step by step. She is still wearing the black and white uniform of the college today, and she looks no different from usual.

The knight handed over the white horse to the servant, and he walked towards Eve alone. Someone shouted behind him, and the scene on the other side of the stone bridge seemed a bit chaotic.

Vegmanning opened his mouth, baring his sharp teeth—the proto-dragon warned of the approaching, and his throat rumbled like an earthquake.

The knight was not timid because of this, he swaggered forward, and his forward movement did not stagnate for a moment.

Now that so many years have passed, Eve is no longer as timid and fearful as she was back then. She patted Gemanning's scales and signaled him to relax.
