But it would be unrealistic to say that he was remembered by the nobles other than the owner of the mansion.

It is more likely that the owner of the mansion often communicates with a certain nobleman.

Only in this way can the maid get to know the nobleman, and also let the nobleman know a certain maid who often appears.

But such a thing, there are too many specificities.

To allow nobles and maids to know each other, how often do they have to come and go.

"Your Highness..." Hearing this word again, Xueni's eyes flashed brightly, "Then do you know where he is now?"

"Well, I don't know for sure. It must have been a long trip." Ai Qi said.

Her answer was the same as that of the previous guards, which made Xue Ni's eyes dim again.

Obviously, I have exhausted all my strength to grasp the last straw, but who would have thought that it would also be broken.

Ai Qi didn't notice Xue Ni's change, and recalled the situation of the two of them just now, and said, "You were standing there just now, did something happen?"

Standing in that place so early, no matter who you are, you will feel that something is wrong.

It is not so early to visit others, and the owner of this mansion is not here now.

"That's right!" The maid then remembered the business, and stretched out her hand to gesture, "A moment ago, a bird of this size grabbed my lady's things, and then flew this way."

"Huh? Little bird?" Ai Qi looked surprised, thinking that the master and servant were really strange.

From nowhere, the small figure appeared again and stopped on the small table between the three of them.

"That's the guy," cried the maid.

It's just that it doesn't have anything in its mouth now.

What is strange is that a creature like a bird should be very afraid of people, but it is jumping around on the table at this moment, as if it is showing its presence to three people.

When he jumped in front of Xueni, his big eyes followed the tilt of his head and looked at Xueni.

Then, it flapped its wings a few times and flew up.

But this time it flew towards the inside of the house.

"Is this little guy raised by you?" Ai Qi asked.

It just looked like that, and it felt like it had some kind of spirituality.

"No." The maid beside Xueni responded, and at the same time noticed Xueni's concern, and said, "Well, can we go find it?"

Even if the owner of the mansion is not there, this is not Gretel's house after all, so it's not good to mess around.

"It's not impossible."

As long as they don't mess with things, it shouldn't be a big deal for them to look for them.

Finally, under the guidance of Ai Qi, the three of them looked in the direction where the bird had just flown.

Before searching for a long time, I saw the door of a room was inexplicably opened.

"It's strange. Did someone else forget to close it after sorting it out?"

Ai Qi was just about to go forward to close the door of the house, but when she got closer, she heard some noises coming from inside.

Opening the door and looking, the little bird was dancing on the table by the window, its tiny claws making a clicking sound on the wooden tabletop.

"That little guy was here just now." Ai Qi reminded Xueni and the maid behind.

Xueni followed Ai Qi and walked over, looked at everything in the room, and stood there in a daze.

At this moment, a certain iron chain was clanking with invisible struggle.

After a moment of pause, Xueni, who came back to her senses, also noticed the little bird on the table.

Just like before, Xiaoniao didn't show any fear towards Xueni at all, instead she seemed to stand there waiting for her to come over.

Beside it, the wreath it took away was placed beside it, and there was also a wooden carving the size of a palm.

The garland and the wood carving seem to be calling each other, and small light spots start to float from the two, like fireflies, revealing the peace visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the tree carved on the wood carving, Xue Ni narrowed her eyes.

She remembered the tree, the tree from the elves.

struggle

Seeing Xue Ni standing in front of the table, Aiqi thought she was a little strange.

Although the garlands and wooden carvings also looked weird, but because of the peaceful atmosphere revealed on them, people couldn't say anything.

Ai Qi walked up to the maid who came with Xueni, and nudged her with her elbow, "Do you feel that Miss Xueni seems a little..."

Ai Qi's voice was so low that only she and the maid beside her could hear, but it was still difficult for her to say some words.

After all, Xue Ni is the heir of a nobleman, and she is just a maid working in the mansion.

The maid smiled bitterly, knowing what Aiqi wanted to say.

Not to mention Aiqi, she has been following Xueni these past few days and she has already felt it.

Because I don't trust Xueni, during this period of time, the number of times to see what Xueni is doing has become much more frequent than usual.

Xue Ni stared at the two things on the table, paused for a moment, then reached out and picked up the wreath, holding it carefully.

The peaceful breath of life began to spread on the hand, which calmed Xueni down.

But how long this calm can last, even Xueni herself doesn't know.

Turning to the wood carving, Xue Ni reached out to touch it and picked it up.

The wood carvings are very light, and if it weren't for the texture of the wood, people might mistake them for feathers.

"These two seem to be from there." Xue Ni murmured.

She remembered that she met an elf in Aino Forest, but after that, all her memories were like torn pieces of paper, broken and broken.

Xueni subconsciously held her head, and the uncomfortable feeling in her head came over again.

However, he returned to calm under the two breaths in his hands.

The bird on the table stared at Xueni's movements, jumped down and jumped onto Xueni's hair.

The not-so-sharp beak pecked Xueni a few times, making it unclear what it wanted to express.

The bird jumped down again, this time flying directly towards the window.

Seeing the little bird go away in the brightening sky, Xue Ni asked calmly, "Excuse me, what's the name of the Second Highness?"

"Second Highness..." Ai Qi put her hand to her mouth, pretending to be thinking, "Shouldn't Second Highness be called Second Highness?"

Hearing this sounded strange, but Ai Qi thought it was a normal answer, Xue Ni's face was abnormally calm.

Putting the wood carving back on the table, Xueni turned to thank Ai Qi, "Thank you for letting us in today, sorry for the trouble."

"Ah, it's all right." Ai Qi quickly waved her hand.

Although he let Xueni and the others come in, he didn't help them other than that.

"Then let's go back first." Xue Ni said.

"Okay, then I'll see you off."

Even though Xueni knew her well, Ai Qi still felt unbearable to be treated like this all of a sudden.

After leaving the mansion, the maid who followed Xueni asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"

If you want to compare, compared with Xue Ni's appearance these days, the expression on her face has improved slightly.

This should be considered a good thing.

But the maid knew that Xueni's state was still very wrong, and now she looked normal again, which made people feel even worse.

Like a huge boulder on a mountain, it seems to be stable, but the supporting ground below it, which is about to collapse, is already forcing it to roll down.

Xue Ni didn't answer, just glanced at the mansion again, and said, "Go back."

"oh oh."

The maid didn't dare to say anything more and could only follow Xueni back.

Back home, Xue Ni went straight back to her room, put the bracelet and garland on the table, and sat there again as before.

Just when Xue Ni wanted to record the things that happened today, and wrote the word "Second Highness", her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, Xue Ni put down the pen, pressed her hands on her eyes, opened her mouth, breathed heavily, and her chest rose and fell.

The lips that had regained their color due to the warmth of the room turned pale again in an instant.

The wreaths and wood carvings are from the elves.

The garland is with me, the woodcarving is with him.

After connecting these, more questions than in the past few days began to emerge uncontrollably.

"Does this mean that he has been to Aino Forest with me?"

"Could it be that all the things I forgot are related to him?"

"Why does everyone have a name, but he doesn't?"

"..."

"Is it possible to just pull someone over to become the so-called Second Highness?"

"Anyone can be him?"

"No, no!"

Xue Ni didn't know why, but she was trying to resist.

Now she can't remember the name behind this title, but she has an idea that will not allow it to be changed by one word.

This kind of thinking is like a gap on the wood. Once it cracks, it will tear the whole person apart from top to bottom along the lines of emotion.

And the chains that bound it were also cracked.

In the distance, the little bird flew away from the capital, and finally landed in a certain forest, where a green figure stretched out his hand, allowing it to land on her hand smoothly.

"Then why didn't the child take that piece of wood carving back? How could he be so upright?"

Bisef on the side still covered her body with a cloak, but her face could not hide her contempt.

"Isn't it good? If it's not your own, don't take it away. Isn't this the rule to follow?"

But it seems that not everyone agrees with this point of view, otherwise, the mackerel she sheltered would not have been hunted down.

"But, I gave them all those things! There is no difference between who and who."

Tiante, who had always maintained a playful appearance, showed a headache expression for the first time.

She finally waited until Xueni discovered the existence of the garland, and took her to find the wood carving through the little bird, hoping to deepen her protection for Xueni.

Biseff looked at the capital, and then asked, "Is this the interesting idea you said? If she is allowed to continue to struggle with the chains set by Wen Daqi, something will happen."

The chain bound everyone's memory about Lorraine, and let them sleep peacefully under the restraint.

But there is a guy who shakes the iron chain cheaply to wake up a certain person.

Be it human beings, wild beasts or warcraft, when they wake up and know that they are bound, they will instinctively struggle.

Some will stop when exhausted, and some will die.

Tiante sighed and said, "Even if I didn't push the child, she would have noticed it on her own sooner or later."

Biseff closed her eyes and remained silent, she had to agree to this.

These days, they have been watching Xueni. Before the patterns left by Tiante appeared, Xueni had already noticed something on her own.

Even without Tiante's push behind, Xue Ni should continue to find something wrong.
