"Purple horse milk! Purple horse milk! Bai Ye, hurry up and find a way to amuse me."

"I?"

Bai Ye thought about it.

"How about I conjure up some snacks in front of you, so you can continue to explore the secrets about me?"

"do not want!"

I never expected that Victorique, who was so curious about me before, would suddenly become uninterested.

"I'm so tired of seeing the same few routines over and over again. Go find me something else that's interesting."

Lying on the ground, Wei Baozi rolled around and begged Bai Ye to find something interesting for her, leaving Bai Ye speechless.

"Let me tell you about Julie. Julie and the others sent me a message saying they're coming to Acerola soon..."

"I won't listen!"

Unexpectedly, Victorique interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Let's talk about Avril. I'll tell you about Avril yesterday..."

"white night!!!"

This time, the girl puffed out her cheeks and roared.

"Why is it that all the things you tell me are about other women?"

Victorica's angry question left Bai Ye speechless for a moment, and just as the girl's face was puffed up like a balloon about to burst.

While frantically trying to recall if anything interesting had happened recently, Bai Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration and actually found an interesting plot that was about to unfold in his mind.

"Hey! Victorique!"

Let's sneak out together!

"what?"

Chapter Forty-Five: Elopement, Hats, and the Magician

Today the weather is sunny and bright, and the warm sun shines on the livelihoods of the people of Sovar.

Wearing a sun hat and with her arms crossed, Bai Ye strolled leisurely through a small village near the school with Victorique, who was pushing a small suitcase.

Although the village is located in a remote area and is not very large, the streets are bustling with people.

That's right, after Bai Ye's passionate persuasion, he finally managed to lure Victorique out of school and elope with her.

Well, actually, after recalling the upcoming plot, Bai Ye found the news about Victoria's mother in the corner of the latest newspaper.

"Notify the descendants of the gray wolves!"

"The Midsummer Festival is coming soon! We welcome our descendants from the outside world!"

That is, the invitation published in the Gray Wolf Village.

The moment she saw the invitation, Victorique, who had been rolling on the ground complaining about being bored, instantly changed her demeanor as if she were a completely different person.

His eyes held a seriousness and determination that Bai Ye had never seen before.

Then, without any hesitation, Victorica packed her bags and agreed to Bai Ye's idea of ​​sneaking out.

"Hey! Bai Ye, when I watched you talk about Greven before, I noticed that you seemed to know a lot about me."

Walking on the road, Victorique, who had been silent since leaving school, spoke to Bai Ye for the first time.

"So, do you know about my mother?"

With a determined look on her face, and a hint of worry, she seemed to be gritting her teeth as she looked at Bai Ye walking in front of her.

"Cordelia?"

After careful consideration, Bai Ye finally decided to tell the truth.

"You...so you knew all along?"

When Bai Ye mentioned her mother's name as soon as he opened his mouth, Victorica's voice sounded three points lower.

The girl suddenly stopped, hesitant and trembling.

Before she could even voice the question she wanted to ask, she was already worried that Bai Ye might give her the answer she least wanted to hear.

"So...how do you view my...mother?"

"Of course it's my mother-in-law!"

Seemingly surprised by Bai Ye's immediate response, Victorique was stunned for a moment.

After regaining his senses, he understood what Bai Ye had actually said.

Victorica's previous worry vanished instantly, replaced by anger that made her little face puff up.

"asshole!"

"I'm asking you how you view the fact that my mother is called a sinner!"

"This!"

This time, Bai Ye stroked his chin and thought carefully for a moment before speaking.

"God, say she is innocent!"

The puffed-up little face disappeared instantly upon hearing Bai Ye's answer, and Victorique became thoughtful.

"God...said something?"

Bai Ye nodded.

"That's right! Even if the world judges her guilty, God will still say she is innocent!"

"Because God doesn't care!"

Hearing the enigmatic conversation between the White Nights, Victorique seemed to understand something. Her initial dejection vanished completely.

At this moment, Victorica's eyes sparkled like little stars, dazzlingly bright. A gentle breeze caressed the girl's long golden hair, carrying a faint fragrance as it passed by Bai Ye.

Victorica stared blankly at Bai Ye, as if she were a porcelain doll, and mechanically opened her mouth to ask the girl's last question.

"What does God... care about?"

Bai Ye smiled.

He stretched out a finger, waved it towards the sky, and then pointed it at Victorique's forehead.

"Me...?"

Victorique laughed!

Although it was a very enigmatic conversation, Victorique's wisdom allowed her to clearly understand the meaning of the White Night.

I don't care what others say about your mother! As long as you believe your mother is innocent, I will support you unconditionally. Because the only person I care about is you!

"What I care about is only your attitude!"

Victorique kept these words to herself.

Upon learning of Bai Ye's thoughts, Victorica no longer had any reservations.

The young girl now only has one goal in mind for this trip: to clear her mother's name.

The mother who gave birth to me, and the mother who never forgot to look after me even while on the run.

It's absolutely impossible for him to be a criminal!

Victorique was completely filled with confidence.

Bai Ye, standing to the side, smiled when he saw the girl's spirited expression.

"Hey buddy, wanna see a magic show?"

It seemed that they had spotted Bai Ye and Victorique in the crowd.

A middle-aged man dressed as a red-haired magician suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Regardless of whether Bai Ye agreed or not, the man simply waved his hand and pulled out a white dove that appeared to have been suffocated from his hat.

"Your magic trick failed, didn't it?"

Bai Ye smiled. Seeing that the magician in front of him was not a simple person, he did not question the other party for blocking his way.

Seeing this, the magician remained silent, but simply grabbed the white dove's wings with both hands and waved them twice, as if to indicate that the white dove was still alive.

"Do you... have some purpose in approaching us?"

Victorique, who witnessed this scene, seemed to realize that the red-haired man hadn't suddenly come to intercept her just to perform magic.

Another question was asked, but the red-haired man remained silent. He simply took the hat that Bai Ye had worn to shield herself from the sun, put it into his magic hat, and then placed the magic hat on Victorique's head.

The next moment, an Indian hat, the kind only dancers wear, appeared on Victoria's head.

"Ok?"

Victorique was unhappy to feel something on her head and tried to take off her hat.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke billowed out in front of them.

"Cough cough cough! Cough cough!"

This caused the girl to cough.

As soon as the smoke cleared, the red-haired magician had vanished.

Victorique also saw her reflection in a mirror on a nearby stall, where she was wearing an Indian hat.

"Mother!"

Excitedly, he quickly pulled out his small pocket watch from his chest.

Victorique gazed at herself in the small mirror in front of her, comparing herself to the girl in the photograph in the pocket watch.

“This hat! It’s the one my mother used to wear.”

After comparing the two cases repeatedly, the girl came to her final conclusion.

"But...how is this possible!"

"No, I need to go find that man."

The discovery of a clue about her mother seemed to have thrown even the usually composed Victorica into a panic.

He immediately got up and looked around, but the magician from before was nowhere to be seen in the market.

Seeing this, Bai Ye took the girl's hand, signaling her not to rush.

"Since she gave you the hat today, it means that your mother has actually been watching you from the shadows all along."

"Or perhaps, your mother was actually supporting your decision to go to the Gray Wolf Village in this way!"

As if agreeing with Bai Ye's words, or perhaps feeling the warmth emanating from Bai Ye's large hand, Victorica's slightly restless heart calmed down once again.

"You're right! No matter what, I shouldn't stay here now."

"let's go!"

"Ok!"

On the rural dirt road, two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Chapter Forty-Six: The Gray Wolf and Heart-to-Heart Talk (Two Chapters Combined)

Arriving at the only bus station in the village, Bai Ye and Victorique bought two tickets to Horowitz.

After waiting at the station for more than ten minutes, the two boarded the train to their destination together.

It was already evening when they boarded the bus. Bai Ye and Victorica sat facing each other in a small compartment, with Victorica leaning against the window gazing at the not-so-bright night view outside.

This was the case in cities where electric lights were not yet widespread during World War I; from a distance, only scattered lights flickered, like stars in the night sky.
