If it rains, you'll be drenched

Palace of Cold Leaves.

morning.

Heller had eaten some of the soup and toast that Sandra had prepared, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and was tapping an egg in an eggcup with a silver spoon.

In the middle of the long dining table are fresh flowers, napkins and candles just changed this morning.But at the whole table, Heller was the only one sitting.

Sandra handed an invitation to Heller: "Your Highness Heller, Duke Herbert will get married tomorrow, and I invite you to come."

Heller put down the egg cup, scanned the two familiar names inside, and handed the invitation back.

"I dont go."

Heller has a strong ability to chat to death.

So Sandra changed the subject: "Noah likes my toast sticks."

Heller lowered her eyes and asked after a moment, "Does he like the dip sweet or salty?"

Sandra: "Noah likes sweet things. He likes honey and condensed milk the most. It's a very cute omega. I also gave him a glass of milk that was warmed up this morning."

Heller knocked on the eggshell, peeled the eggshell silently for a while, then raised her eyes, the silver pupils were cold.

"Let Ambrose go. Noah may be feeling unwell recently. Tell Ambrose to temporarily mark him if he finds anything unusual."

Sandra bowed: "Okay, Your Highness Heller."

Heller continued to indifferently said: "Also, Noah's identity is not simple, help me to check his details."

Noah was indeed unwell.

My head is groggy, my eyes and trachea are dry, and my tonsils hurt a little.The back of the neck was swollen, and whether I was sitting or standing, I felt like the blood vessels in my head were about to burst.

The joints and muscles of the whole body are sore and limp, unable to use any strength at all, but the five senses are surprisingly sharp: the sound of a needle falling on the ground can wake people up, not to mention how many people are sleeping in the guest room. The pheromone of omega has the smell of perfume, which makes people's heads almost explode.

Noah couldn't sleep, so he cleaned up, only to find a used cover and a crumpled pink translucent pajamas in the crevice of the bed...

Except for the glass of milk stuffed into his arms in the Palace of Cold Leafs and the small plate of toast sticks that Noah took away before leaving, Noah didn't eat anything after arriving at Red Maple Castle——Herbert only asked him Go to bed and tell him nothing.

Noah felt that he was really wronged.

Noah lay on the bed until he was so hungry that he planned to go out to find something to eat, but found that his hair and clothes were messed up.

I checked the mirror briefly, and found that there were no towels or toothbrushes, so I had to go out dirty, and asked the servants for a set.

As soon as he opened the door, he suddenly saw a shadow flashing past him.

Turning around again, I saw a black cat in the corner, with a pair of blue eyes staring at me defensively.

Noah likes children and animals very much. Just as he was about to touch it, the black cat meowed and jumped out of the window to escape.

Seeing black cats in other places is actually nothing.

But black cats are a symbol of evil. In such an old castle, a gust of wind blows from the window, and Noah suddenly shudders.

The castle is huge, and Noah lives in a remote place, at the end of a long corridor.

None of the wall lamps in the corridor were turned on, and occasionally there were some paintings hanging between the two wall lamps.

Fortunately, it was noon, the big window behind Noah was open for ventilation, and the corridor was not too dark.

So Noah walked out looking at the painting in a light that wasn't too bright.

Many of the paintings are mothers holding their children or leading them to play in the sun, or just simple landscape paintings, which give people a very warm and happy feeling.

If it weren't for the lack of lighting, Noah would feel that this journey would be a kind of enjoyment.

Noah walked a little further before meeting the first servant.It was a very young maid, an ordinary beta, holding a basket of baguettes, watching the sparrows jumping outside the window while walking.

"Hello." Noah chased after him and greeted him.

The maid tilted her head and said with a smile, "Hi, who are you? Are you new here? I haven't seen you before."

Noah said embarrassedly: "My name is Noah... I... I'm lost, where can I find something to eat? I'm really hungry, and I'm about to faint."

Maid: "Oh sorry, you are a new guest, sorry, our master is going to marry his fiancée tomorrow, so we are all getting ready for the wedding. I am really sorry for not taking good care of you, But now even if you go to the kitchen, you won’t have anything to eat, those adults are so busy that they don’t have time to take care of us. Oh, by the way, my name is Maya.”

Meiya looked around and saw that there was no one around, quietly put down the basket in her hand, broke off a small piece of baguette and stuffed it into Noah's hand: "Here, you eat this first, and then I will take you out to eat. Do you have money?" ?”

Noah thought for a moment: "No."

Meiya: "It's okay, I know the son of the baker at the door, we can ask him to bring you something to eat, their bread is delicious, and we can ask Perry to bring you a glass of goat's milk. Although we It's very busy now, but our master is very good, don't say our master is not good."

Noah took a bite of the baguette, it was cold and hard, but he still smiled: "Well, thank you, Meiya."

When Meiya went to meet her errands, she asked Noah to wait outside, but Noah vaguely heard the fierce scolding inside at the door, and a woman said that Meiya was greedy again.

When Maya came out, the little maid's face was still stained with tears, her eyes were swollen, and there was a bright red handprint on the left side of her face.

But seeing Noah, Meiya smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm fine, I'll take you to find Perry."

Noah didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "Does it hurt? I'm actually not very hungry now."

Meiya waved her hands hurriedly: "It's okay, I'll take you to eat delicious food. Perry is very good, and our host His Highness Herbert is also very good, although he always brings home all kinds of omega, although Aunt Marshall Always blame me, but isn't that what life is like?"

Noah looked at the little girl in front of him and began to cry loudly, still howling intermittently:

"Isn't life just like, no matter what happens, do you still have to continue to live with a smile, woo woo woo woo, I'm not unhappy, I'm not unhappy, I'm not wronged at all, our master is also very nice, woo woo woo Woo, I didn't cry in front of the guests, I didn't treat poorly, and I didn't embarrass the host at all, woo woo woo woo..."

Noah looked at the little maid Meiya who kept saying she was very happy but cried worse than anyone else, so he could only comfort her in turn.

Meiya finally stopped crying, and when she walked to the gate of the castle, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the main entrance.

It's Iris.

Noah hurried over.

Iris put on a silver armor and held a toy fencing saber in her hand: "Let my brother come out, I want to fight him!"

There was a butler standing politely at the door, but Iris couldn't take a step forward.

"Miss Iris, Her Majesty Herbert is very busy now, but he ordered that as long as you want to move home, we will welcome you immediately, but like this, holding a toy sword to duel—Miss Iris, for you For your safety, I don't recommend you to do this."

Iris had her arms akimbo, her short light blond hair glistening in the midday sun.

"Okay, won't you let me in? Then give me back my Noah! Give me back and I'll go."

"Iris." Noah walked to the door and greeted Iris.

Iris' eyes lit up instantly: "Noah, come back to the monastery with me."

Stewell, Herbert's butler next to him, looked at Noah with an amiable air.Meia had already started to tremble under Stewell's gaze.

"Please allow me to have a private chat with Miss Iris."

Stewell made a gesture of please and smiled to indicate yes.

Noah turned around and pushed Meiya: "Meiya, you go first, go to the bakery to find your friend."

Meiya ran away with red eyes.

Noah pulled Iris aside and explained as softly as possible: "I'm sorry, Iris, I have a marriage contract with your brother."

Iris: "It's just a marriage contract, isn't it not married yet? Let me tell you, don't think my brother looks so good, but you don't know what he did behind his back. If you knew, you would definitely not want to Married to him, my brother is actually very bad."

Noah remembered Herbert's threats to him last night, as well as the whispers Herbert had said to Iris.In the whisper, giving someone away or something, those words are really chilling.

In fact, at the beginning, Noah had a really good impression of Herbert, because of that warm red hair, because of Herbert's nice smile, his talkativeness, and his way of not embarrassing the other party at any time. Well-mannered.

But last night Herbert lost all grace——

But no matter what, Noah knew very clearly that he had a marriage contract with Herbert, and he would definitely abide by this marriage contract.Besides, Herbert threatened the honor of His Royal Highness, and Noah did not dare to disobey.

Noah thought hard to excuse Herbert: And Herbert likes children very much, doesn't he?He is very family-oriented and will definitely take good care of his future children, and he happens to like being with the children very much.Based on this alone, two people will live happily after marriage.

Also, I'm about to go into heat, and I can't use inhibitors for my physical condition. It's the best choice to marry Herbert as soon as possible.

Noah forced a smile: "Iris, you misunderstood, I wanted to marry your brother myself. Your brother is so popular, but I actually took advantage of it."

Iris wanted to say something, but bit her lip and hesitated for a long time.

Noah waited patiently for Iris.

Iris sighed: "Noah, I'm telling you these words just because I don't want you to find out the truth when the time comes, but Herbert is my brother after all, so don't spread the word. My brother... my brother, he Just a bastard, when he was just an adult, he started to climb the beds of alphas and omega's who were much older than him, and he always brought all kinds of lovers at home, all kinds of things. You think he is very good, In fact he never fell in love with anyone at all. He was insecure and he was only in a physical relationship with anyone."

Iris's eyes turned red as she spoke: "Actually, Dad was mad at him. If it wasn't for him, Dad wouldn't have left us so early. But the worst thing my brother has done is After my father died, he wanted to marry me into a marquis's family who had a good relationship with him. Because of this, I escaped to the monastery. Noah, you don't know, my brother is just a bed The prostitute who has a relationship with a high position is a big liar who only has interests in his eyes."

Noah frowned.

Noah once heard Herbert talk about family affairs, and Herbert's background was too pitiful.His mother was a red-haired witch who was imprisoned in the red tower. His father died of a sudden emergency shortly after Herbert was just an adult, and Herbert inherited his father's title.He has never enjoyed family happiness, so he really wants to have his own warm family.

But now, from Herbert's closest sister, what Noah heard was such a completely different version.Herbert killed his father, and was used to cheating and gaining benefits by various improper means.

Noah is used to believing the truth rather than hearsay.One thing may be rumored by various people in thousands of forms, each of which is mixed with individual thoughts and private thoughts, but the truth is often the simplest and the only one.

"Iris, thank you, I know you care about me, but I have my own judgment about Herbert. Herbert hopes that you can move back to the castle, and I hope so. So far, I don't have enough Reasons to break my engagement with His Royal Highness Herbert."

Iris took a deep breath and tightened the toy saber in her hand: "My birthday is on Christmas, and Christmas is only a week away. I will be an adult soon, Noah, can I marry you?" you!"

Noah: "Then wish you a happy birthday and a merry Christmas in advance."

Iris's eyes were red: "Noah, tell me, do you really love my brother? If you don't love him, I will fight him. Unless he kills me, I will fight to the death." take you away."

The noon sun shines on the gate of the castle. The Graff family is one of the oldest families in the Maple Kingdom and the most trusted friends of the Alcott royal family. Even the family emblem of the Graff family is a lion guarding a symbol of autumn. with harvest maple leaves and ears of wheat.

On the flag at the gate of the castle, the family coat of arms of the Graff family unfolded in the wind. The huge lawn was well maintained, and it was still green in winter. In the front garden, the fountains and trees were full of life. Tomorrow's wedding preparations, pink and red gauze ribbons were hung on the branches and fences, and on the Red Maple Avenue in the distance, the red maple leaves dyed the whole street red.

It was beautiful, like a real wedding was coming.

Herbert told Noah that water magicians can manipulate water to nourish all things even in winter, so the garden of Red Maple Castle is like spring all year round.

This man with a warm smile can use magic to nourish the vegetation in winter, he can unconsciously smile when talking about children and family, and he can save himself who has never met him on the battlefield. At that time, Noah thought, no matter what this person does What happened, I believe, in his bones, he must be an extremely gentle person.

Noah smiled and said to Iris, as if trying to convince himself: "Iris, you don't know, I love him."

The author has something to say:

Life is not easy, Herbert sighed.
