"I shouldn't have hung up on you..I should have listened to you..I was so stupid, it's my fault..."
Perlis became more and more anxious as she spoke, and her voice gradually began to tear up:
"If...if you decide not to have me anymore, I won't..."
"puff--"
To the surprise of the frustrated Perlis, Carly suddenly couldn't help laughing:
"My lovely little white flower, you are so silly and lovable~"
"Eh?"
Before Perlis could react, Carly lowered her head, leaned her forehead against Perlis's, and slowly rubbed Perlis's little face.
"Silly! How could I bear to give up on you? You're so stupid that you hurt yourself for no reason. What would you do without me?"
Pearls's face was so soft that Carly became more and more addicted to rubbing it. She completely ignored the awkward little noises Pearls made and rubbed it with full concentration, as if Pearls was a doll or something.
The more Carly looked like she was enjoying herself, the more Perlis felt her face getting hotter, and the breath she exhaled became hotter:
"Besides, how can I teach you a lesson? You might just throw me out of the house if you're unhappy. Then where will poor Carly Fellowes live? Go back to the Federation and live in the Tower of Babel with the old guys? I don't want to~."
"Um... uh..."
Perlis didn't know what to say. Carly held her in her arms, which made her feel a little shy. What's more, she just cried and said something like "If you decide not to have me anymore", which was so embarrassing...
Thinking of this, Perlis turned her face away reluctantly, her fair face already flushed red.
After spending some time with Perlis, Carly raised her head and looked at the cute little white flower under her with tender eyes:
"Next time, don't do anything stupid. At least talk to me before you do anything stupid. Do you understand?"
Having said this, Carly freed one of her hands and began to rub Perlis's head with a smile, as if she was comforting a wronged child.
Feeling Carly's hand brushing through her pure white hair, Perlis felt shy again.
She... why is she so gentle again... I can't stand it...
Perlis shyly turned her head away and said:
"..Um.."
Looking at the little white flower's red face, Carly burst into love again. She made a doting cry, then hugged Perlis again and rubbed her face:
"Oh! My little white flower~"
"Eh! That's enough! Stop doing that!"
"Hahahaha~ No~"
At least, the ending of this Wilkin morning was sweet and heartwarming.
......
8) Wilkin's Rain (Part 3)
After the fun, Carly slowly helped Perlis up and walked her to the door:
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Perlis felt slight pain all over her body, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"It's going to hurt for a while, idiot."
Pearlis turned her head and saw Carly looking at her worriedly.
But rather than worrying, it's more like blaming:
"..strained left hand muscle..broken right wrist..broken three ribs..sprained ankle..broken thigh..and a slight concussion..."
Listening to Carly reporting her injuries like the name of a dish, Perlis began to feel dizzy.
It's better not to talk about these things, it hurts when I talk about them.
"..Carly, stop talking, it hurts..."
"Really... those [Pure White Fireworks] and [Blade of Babel]... were beaten like this by those primitive people. I think you should not go out. Just stay at home and study flower arrangement every day..."
"I can't help it..."
If someone else criticized her like this, Perlis would definitely be angry, but it was Carly who criticized her, so she seemed to have no choice...
After pushing open the door, Carly helped Perlis to the dining room. Breakfast had already been set on the table, steaming with fragrance: a few simple paninis and a cup of Perlis' favorite strawberry yogurt. After eating the hard and unpalatable bread on Wanren Mountain for a long time, Perlis wanted to pounce on such a simple combination immediately, regardless of whether he was reserved or not, or how he ate.
However, to Perlis's surprise, there was another person sitting at the table:
"Young Master?"
Perlis stared at Pess at the table in amazement. Pess was eating breakfast calmly. When he saw Perlis coming, he raised his hand.
"Hey! Little princess! Long time no see!"
"What do you mean by long? It's just two days..."
Carly looked at Pace with some disdain, then helped Perlis sit down at the dining table, and then sat next to Perlis. The two of them stood opposite Pace, with a whole table between them.
"Well...you shouldn't be so far away from me..." Pace felt a little embarrassed.
"What do you care!" Carly said as she hugged Perlis, causing her to tremble slightly in pain. "Let me make it clear to you that you are not allowed to have any ideas about my little white flower again, okay?"
"Who wants to take advantage of her..." Pace looked at Carly's slightly hostile eyes helplessly, "Ms. Carly, you can't always judge others by yourself, okay?"
"Humph, look at the way you looked at her, calling her 'little princess' all the time, do you think I can't see that?"
"..Hey, it's not that exaggerated..It's just a habit..."
After so many things happened, Perlis wanted to say something to Pace, but Carly and he started arguing for no reason, and she couldn't get a word in, so she gave up.
Mainly because I'm so hungry.
Perlis looked down at her flat belly, touched it gently, and her stomach began to growl.
There was nothing to eat on Wanren Mountain, so Perlis was really starving.
Well... let’s talk about that later, eating is the most important thing!
Thinking of this, Perlis grabbed the panini from the plate on the table and began to wolf it down, not caring about her ladylike image or chewing slowly.
"Eat slowly~" Carly looked at Perlis who was wolfing down her food lovingly and stroked her head gently, "Hehe, little white flower, hehe..."
Hey..it's never ending, right?
Hearing Carly's strange and silly laughter, Perlis couldn't help but feel ashamed. Ever since the moment she first saw Carly after escaping from Wanren Mountain, she seemed to have been in this strange state.
"..You really like her, Miss Carly." Pace looked at Carly's silly smile and spread his hands helplessly. "So, now that the little princess is here, we can have that confession meeting."
"Eh?" Perlis raised her head, her mouth full of food, her words unclear, "Shovel... bury the big fee?"
"I want this Mr. Pers Monarch to tell the truth about his experience with you on the Wanren Mountain. I want him to tell the truth and not to lie."
Carly raised her head slightly, looking very serious.
"Because I don't believe him!"
"Hey... Miss Carly, if you want to express that you hate me, please be a little more tactful..." Pace was a little hurt.
"I~refuse~" Carly still held her head high.
"Hmm..." Perlis swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Carly blankly, with some sauce hanging from the corner of her mouth. "Then why did you wait until I was here to tell you?"
"You idiot, of course you're afraid he's lying."
Carly picked up a tablecloth with some disdain and gently wiped the sauce off the corner of Pearlis' mouth, then turned to Pace:
"Of course you can start. I want to hear the details. Don't miss any details, okay?"
"Okay~ As you command~ Lord Philos~" Pace raised his hands in surrender.
Then, Pess slowly began to tell about the days when he and Perlis walked on the Wanren Mountain.
From the time they first met in the tavern, with the drizzle falling outside the window, the red eyes and the black eyes looked at each other, and they made an agreement to travel together in the rainy night of Lorton.
At the entrance of the Saint-Jial Hotel, there was a fierce battle between [Pure White Fireworks] and [Angels].
Then there is the biting cold wind of the [Land Where Bones Are Buried in Ice], the warm inn, and the wind and snow that cover the sky.
Amidst the wind and snow, the white-haired girl raised the sharp blade in her hand towards the angel high above.
As the sun shone, on the top of the mountain, the snow sculpture that could split the sky broke through layer of wind barriers and fought with the son of the Iron Lord on the execution ground.
Everything ended with a leap from the top of the mountain.
"——Just like that, I escaped from the [Blood and Steel War], was no longer considered a Thebiter, and then I fled with the little princess~"
Having said this, Pace took a deep breath and told him everything.
However, he deliberately ignored several key parts, such as...
For example, his deception of Perlis.
He really couldn't say it in front of Carly, this was his stain. Of course he knew he should face this stain, but he just couldn't say it.
Therefore, he gave the choice to Perlis. If she felt that she could not forgive him, she could just speak out about it.
After listening to Pace's entire statement, Carly thought about it for a while. As expected, it didn't take long for her to find the blind spot:
"I have some questions to ask," he examined Pace with his icy blue eyes, "I hope you can answer truthfully. This is the first step in building trust."
"Well," Pace swallowed nervously, "ask."
"The question is actually very simple," Carly leaned forward slightly, "Why? Why did Little White Flower go to help you take back the mansion first, and then run to the Iron Fortress after her own genes were exhausted? Why didn't you catch up with her after taking back the mansion, but waited until she was covered in wounds and dying before you came?"
"Well..." Pace was a little nervous, "This is because..."
"It's because he lied to me."
Before Pace could speak, Perlis spoke first.
Pace's body trembled slightly, and he turned his gaze to Perlis. The blood-red eyes were staring at him calmly.
After meeting Pace's gaze, Perlis spoke slowly again:
"He deceived me and used me as a tool to take back his family's mansion."
......
8) Wilkin's Rain (Part 4)
"..."
After these words came out, Carly looked at Perlis in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly:
"He..this man..he lied to you?"
"Yes," Perlis answered, "he told me that Ivar was in the mansion from which his family had been taken, and he took me there."
As Perlis spoke, she looked at Pace calmly.
At this moment, Pace no longer looked at Perlis. He lowered his head and looked at the half piece of bread on his plate, his vision a little blurry.
"Then, I met Yelena Goncharova, the Angel of the Iron Guard, there. In the battle with her, I exhausted all my energy."
Pearlis' voice was steady and calm, without any sense of excessive emotion, but to Pace, the voice sounded like a judge's verdict, listing his crimes in detail.
"..Then, I went to the Iron Fortress alone and met.."
"Stop talking."
Carly interrupted Perlis's statement, she closed her eyes gently, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with anger.
"That's enough."
Ice-blue eyes looked at Pace coldly, and Carly's voice was extremely cold:
"I shouldn't have listened to Aoi. I should have let you die in the snow."
Carly suddenly stood up and waved her hand, and several blue dots appeared in the air:
"Pace Monarch, do you believe what Perlis said?"
"Ah...I admit it."
Under Carly's cold questioning, Pace raised his head with a tired expression on his face.
It seems that she can't forgive herself... No wonder, because Pearlis is not a little girl who can be easily fooled.
