Chapter 92 92: Unexpected Request
Author: I really want to eat meat 597
After bidding farewell to Ed and the others, Angie prepared to go back to her room to rest.
When she walked to the fourth floor of Shutward Palace, she happened to meet Jeshir wandering in the corridor.
However, Anji was still glowing all over at this moment, which shocked Jessir.
Under Anji's patient explanation, Jie Xier approached Anji with a curious look on her face and carefully touched the golden lights. Then she smiled with confidence and said to Anji:
"These warm lights suit Anji very well - they are as gentle as you."
Anji felt embarrassed immediately after being praised like this by Jeshil, so she could only smile awkwardly and quickly change the topic.
Although she had a vague feeling before that the abilities of the fearless people should be related to their own personalities, but when Jessiel said these words in this way, she felt particularly embarrassed...
After a brief chat, the two young girls, who were temporarily free, hit it off and decided to hang out in the castle for a while.
While they were talking, these uncontrollable lights on Anji gradually dimmed, and then disappeared completely, making her no longer "eye-catching".
Then, the two wandering girls passed by the kitchen, grabbed some delicious food, and had a luxurious dinner together. Then they took a walk in the castle, and then returned to Shutwo together when the night was dark.
Virtue Palace, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
This is a rare and short daily life that Anji can have.
After finishing these trivial things to kill time, Anji returned to the bedroom feeling peaceful and quiet, which was very different from her in the afternoon.
Originally, all she could think about was how she got drunk last night and revealed all her secrets in front of Slade, and she felt very depressed.
But after hanging out with Jessile doing nothing like this, Angie felt that these things were no big deal.
Anyway, everything that was supposed to happen had already happened, and she couldn't go back in time. She could only accept the reality and take it one step at a time.
With this thought in mind, Anji lay down on the bed early.
However, she didn't really want to go to bed so early.
She rolled over on this soft big bed that she particularly liked for a long time, and then rested in a daze for a while, going through the things that happened during the day in her mind, and then she hugged Elijah, who was in a state of green pimples, and
Gradually fell into sleep.
The next day, she rarely woke up naturally.
There was no soreness from a hangover, nor was she woken up by the urgent knock on the door. Just waking up like this gave Anji a sense of contentment and happiness.
There's even a good morning from Elijah.
After staying in bed for a long time, Anji reluctantly got out of bed, brought in the clean basin that someone left at the door, washed her hands carefully, and then went out.
As if to echo her good mood, during this rare "holiday", the sky in Kent County was also extremely blue.
The morning sun has a lukewarm temperature, and it shines on your body, making you extremely comfortable and relaxing involuntarily.
In such good weather, Anji chose a quiet corner where no one was, sat on the ground under the shade of a tree, looked up at the ordinary but exceptionally beautiful clear sky, and was lost in thought.
As a breeze blew by, those fine strands of hair were blown onto the girl's face, tickling her face, and causing some inexplicable emotions to gradually well up in her originally empty head.
A lot of things have indeed happened recently, but compared to these messy things, she is very lucky to be able to sit under the blue sky in good health and spend the day leisurely.
Although she was also thinking about using her abilities more to improve her skills in this area, she did not dare to act rashly after she had only used her abilities to compete with Ed yesterday...
If a few more soul cracks are created for her, it will really be more of a loss than a gain.
So Anji chose to show off without any guilt, looking at the clouds of different shapes in the blue sky, sitting in a daze.
Will today go through so smoothly?
Just as she was thinking this, a rush of footsteps approaching the place caught her attention.
The footsteps were not directed towards Anji, but they wandered around in this remote place for a long time, which made her originally happy mood become inexplicably irritable.
Someone can't get lost in this remote place with only green shrubs and a few big trees, right? Or are they looking for something?
Now that Anji's physical fitness has improved, she has far better hearing than ordinary people, so it is difficult to ignore these continuous footsteps that are incompatible with the quiet and peaceful atmosphere around her.
But even so, Anji didn't want to give up this secluded corner that she had finally found so easily.
Maybe this person will leave after a while?
However, as if to oppose her idea, the mysterious footsteps lingering nearby not only did not disappear, but actually got closer and closer to her, and were now less than ten meters away.
Anji sighed silently, preparing to leave here and find another place to go.
But the moment she stood up, the sound of footsteps suddenly paused, and then ran towards her quickly.
Anji immediately entered a first-level alert state.
She put on a defensive posture, turned her head sharply to look at the person, and was surprised to find——
Isn't this the Sean she just met yesterday?!
"Sean? What are you doing-"
Angie spoke with a shocked look on her face. Just halfway through her words, she was hurriedly interrupted by Sean who came to her:
"Anji! Do you have some kind of pattern on your body?"
After running for a long time, his breathing became very disordered, so he said these words intermittently while panting.
Angie did not rush to answer, but tried to analyze the situation.
Sean must have made a special trip to find her. The reason why he kept wandering around here was because he heard from passers-by that "the female knight is nearby", but he never found Anji - for
To avoid being disturbed, she was indeed hidden.
These simple reverse reasonings only flashed through her mind for a moment, and then she saw Sean swallowing his saliva and eagerly added: "Can you show me that pattern?"
"Yes, yes..." Anji's expression had returned to normal, but her tone was very hesitant, reminding him tactfully, "It's just that the pattern is on my chest, and the clothes I'm wearing today are not very convenient..."
She was wearing normal clothes and trousers today, not a low-cut dress. She couldn't just pull the neckline out and let Sean look down, right?! Not only was it easy to see something extra, but in case
If someone passes by at this time, it may easily cause misunderstanding.
Only then did Sean react.
It's just that this young man's head, which was already dizzy from running, seemed to be getting a little hotter. He looked away embarrassedly and whispered hesitantly:
"I'm sorry, I'm confused... Can you please describe the pattern in detail? Although Barton has just told me about its shape, I want to hear your description as the person involved..."
Patton, this big-mouthed guy!
Anji cursed in her heart, but did not show these emotions on her face, her expression remained natural.
Although she was also concerned about why Sean was in such a hurry, she chose to put this doubt aside and carefully described to him the "six-wing pattern" on her chest.
Sean remained silent throughout the whole process, bowing his head slightly and not interrupting her words.
After Anji finished speaking, a few seconds passed before he slowly raised his head, stared into her eyes, and said in a deep voice with a very solemn expression:
"Angie, do you have time recently? I have something to tell you... It's just that we can't talk about it in the castle. It's best to go to the outskirts of Kent to talk... No, it should be said that the farther away the better...
If we can talk outside the barrier, that would be the safest thing."
Sean's words were particularly vague, and his expression was completely different from his usual one - at least Angie had never seen him look so serious.
But Slade's castle is located in the center of Kent. If you want to go to the outskirts of Kent, even a round trip on horseback would take more than two hours. At this juncture when she had to meet Green in the afternoon, she didn't want to agree to this.
A sudden invitation.
But if we talk about "chatting outside the barrier", that would be interesting - she happens to be traveling in the next few days.
With this in mind, Angie told Sean that "Slade will ask her to go on a business trip with others recently", and she could also observe the other person's reaction.
Even if Sean most likely didn't mean any harm, it's always better to err on the side of caution.
After she finished talking about these schedules, Sean was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression with a hint of urgency:
"You've only been back to the castle for less than three days, right? Why are you going out again?"
"Haha...yeah, I can't stay more than three days every time."
Anji smiled awkwardly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw him speaking firmly: "Then can I go out with you?"
Anji did not agree immediately.
Although Slade did say before that "she is still considering candidates" and asked Angie "if she has any ideas", there are indeed a lot of fishy things about Sean...
Seeing Anji's hesitation, Sean's expression became more and more anxious, and he couldn't help but sincerely request again:
"Angie... please. This matter is indeed very important to me, but I can only explain it to you when there are no other people and far away from the castle... I will go to Lord Slade to petition, and please be sure to
Please be accommodating..."
Anji's heart trembled suddenly.
The weight of Sean's last half sentence was really a bit too heavy - even though Anji is much stronger than him now, they are completely equal in status.
Judging from the age, Sean is one year older than her, and he is her senior. No matter what, he should not speak to her in such an overly respectful tone.
His words were completely condescending, and he almost didn't call her "Ms. Anji".
Looking at Sean who was so nervous that he looked a little humble, Angie decided to agree to his request first:
"Haha... Then let me give it a try?"
