Early in the morning, the earth revived, and the flowers shone with stars. What greeted his nose was a faint sense of nostalgia for you.
Memories were spreading in the marble palace. I used my fingers to try to read the dusty love. The moment I touched it, I felt the longing left behind.
The scenery of Andergis Castle was still the same as before dawn. The breeze blew against the windows, making the sound of opening and closing.
Taki slowly opened his eyes. Before his mind was fully awake, he tried to think about what he needed to do today. Just as she was about to get out of bed, her hand seemed to have touched something. She fiddled with her hair and sat up. When she took a closer look, she found that Ma Xiaoru had fallen asleep leaning against the bed. There were obvious traces of tears on her face. He frowned slightly and called out softly.
Rubbing his eyes, he raised his head to look at Long and smiled,""Master Long, you're awake! It's still early. Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
She tossed her hair behind her back and rubbed her temples." Why did you fall asleep here?”
Startled, Ma Xiaoru realized that she was sitting on the ground beside the bed. Because last night, she couldn't bear to leave Lord Long's side. As she cried, she unknowingly fell asleep next to Lord Long.
She immediately stood up and stepped back." S-Sorry, Xiaoru knows her mistake.”
"Where did you go last night?" Taki lifted the blanket and prepared to get up.
Ma Xiaoru quickly took the blue silk coat that was hanging on the side and put it on Taki to prevent him from catching a cold." I'm just a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after resting."”I'm sorry, Master Long. I lied to you. Please forgive me.
She pulled her coat over and sat down beside the dressing table." And then?”
"Because I was worried, I wanted to come over and take a look. However, she was probably too tired and fell asleep unknowingly.”She lowered her head." Please forgive me."
"Call Gauss and tell him that we have an early schedule today.”Ghost Yama Festival? I want to see what other tricks those old fellows can play.
Ma Xiaoru handed a cup of hot tea to Taki to rinse his mouth." Yes…"
About five minutes later, Ma Xiaoru returned to the room. He placed the breakfast in his hands on the table in front of Taki. Taki was looking at today's schedule.
"Everything has been arranged, Sir Long ~ go wash up first.”He handed the wet tissue to Taki.
He took the wet towel and gently pressed it on his face. After he was done, he handed the wet towel back to Xiaoru." If you're not feeling well, you can stay in the room and rest today.”
"No need!" " I'm fine now." Ma Xiaoru shouted anxiously. She knew that she was being rude, so she said in a low voice," I'm fine now. I want to stay with Master Long."”He didn't have much time left, so he had to stay by Lord Long's side.
"Up to you."
He smiled." Thank you." She happily took the wooden comb from the table and prepared to comb Taki's hair. She gently combed it again and again, unwilling to let go for a long time. In the mirror, Mister Long was reading a document with his head lowered. His dark green eyes were deep and mysterious. Her slightly opened clothes revealed her fair skin, bewitching everyone's nerves.
Suddenly, she remembered that she would never be able to comb Master Long's hair again. She felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes couldn't help but tear up. She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at herself in the mirror…Her eyes were red and swollen, and her clothes were wrinkled and ragged. No! How could he let Lord Long see his ugly self? Ma Xiaoru couldn't take it anymore and covered her eyes with her hands.
Taki had a premonition when he saw Ma Xiaoru's reaction in the mirror…
Was it because today was the Ghost Yama Festival? Ma Xiaoru had never liked this festival since she was young. She even avoided it. Every year on this day, Ma Xiaoru would behave differently. But why did he feel that Ma Xiaoru's reaction this year seemed to be especially big?
She sighed helplessly." Xiaoru, since your emotions are so unstable, I can't let you hinder me. You can stay and rest today."
She looked up at the mirror in surprise and said," I'm sorry…" She cried, her tears still flowing out uncontrollably." I'm sorry, sob sob…I'm really sorry…" She ran out of the room crying, leaving Taki-sama's side and vision.
Ma Xiaoru, who had escaped, ran desperately along the corridor, trying to wipe away the tears on her face with her hands. However, no matter how hard Ma Xiaoru wiped her tears, she could not stop them from flowing down.
Master Long, what should I do? Sob…What should I do? My heart hurts ~~ so much ~~ am I going to die soon? I love you so much that I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to make you angry. Please, please don't leave me behind…
Ma Xiaoru, who was running without looking at the road, bumped into Gauss, who happened to be walking along the road, and fell heavily to the ground...
"How dare you! Is this a place for you to run around? Have you forgotten your manners?" Gauss shouted angrily.
Ma Xiaoru sat on the ground with her head lowered and covered her face with her hands. Gauss had no idea who the person who had just bumped into him was.
"Who are you? Which manager is it?" He actually dared to run around in His Highness 'resting place like this.
Ma Xiaoru let go of her hands and slowly raised her head. She looked at the person in front of her with tears streaming down her face." Mr. Consul..."
" Xiaoru?!!" Gauss was at a loss as he looked at Ma Xiaoru, who was sobbing. "What's wrong with you? Why was his expression here? Where was His Highness? Why aren't you with His Highness? You don't look like someone who would do something so inappropriate.”
Lil Ru was still crying sadly,"I can't do it anymore ~ Wuuu ~ I can't stay by Master Long's side anymore."”He walked past Gauss and ran away again while crying.
Gauss looked at Ma Xiaoru's back strangely. What exactly happened?
Ma Xiaoru, who had returned to her room, threw herself onto the bed and cried for a long time until her tears were dry. Then, she stared at the ceiling in a daze. She didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't know what she could be thinking.
Time passed minute by minute until a sudden knock on the door woke Ma Xiaoru up from her melancholy thoughts.
She opened the door weakly and glanced at the person who had come." Lan Lan? What's the matter?"
"The Consul said that you didn't seem to be feeling well and asked me to come and see you.”Lan Lan entered the room and gently closed the door.
"I'm fine."
"But you don't look well. Ever since you came back from Agent Shun's place last night, you've been acting very strange.”
"I'm really fine. You don't have to worry.”
"I'm not worried about you." Lan Lan pursed her lips." I'm worried about how you'll serve His Highness in your current state.”
A thought flashed through her mind. Lil Ru felt that Lan Lan was right. If he was no longer around, what would happen to Master Long's daily life? She couldn't give Sir Long any more trouble, so she tried to pull herself together."Lanlan ~ I'll have to trouble you with something. Quickly call Xiao Mei, Qing 'Er, and Hong Chou over. I have something to talk to them about."”He had to hurry up and explain everything in the future.
"What? Why did he call them? Why are you looking for them?"
"Lanlan, please…"
Lan Lan couldn't dissuade Xiaoru. She waved her hand and said," Alright, I'll go right away..."
Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in Ma Xiaoru's room.
"Sister Xiaoru, why are you looking for us so urgently?”
"Yes, we still have a lot of work to do, or else we will be scolded by the director again.”
"I'm sorry. I'll tell the manager about this. You don't have to worry. Sit down and listen to me."
"Xiao Ru, what exactly are you trying to say?”
"I, I just want to tell you some of His Highness 'daily habits so that you can serve His Highness in the future.”
"Sister Xiaoru, are you kidding me? You've always been in charge of His Highness 'daily life.”
"Yes, His Highness has never liked us serving him."
" I'm not joking." Ma Xiaoru smiled helplessly." Because I can't serve His Highness anymore, so I hope to use this last bit of time to explain to you."”
"Xiao Ru, what are you talking about? We don't understand."
"Lan Lan…it's okay if you don't understand. You just need to do as I say. I'll leave it to you."
Everyone looked at each other, although they did not know what Ma Xiaoru was up to. However, as sisters, she still agreed in the end.
As night fell, Xiao Ru, who was a little restless, walked around aimlessly. Now that everything had been explained, it was as if a huge stone had been placed down in his heart. He no longer had any regrets. Now, all he had to do was wait for the time to come.
Without realizing it, Ma Xiaoru had arrived at Taki's room. She couldn't resist the palpitations in her heart and secretly peeked into the room. Lord Long had already returned and Lan Lan was serving him attentively.
He smiled, thinking that it was enough for him to see Master Long again before he died.
He looked at the moon in the sky. Was it almost time? Ma Xiaoru reluctantly left the castle…
Master Long, I'm really sorry. I can't stay by your side anymore. Although I really want to accompany you forever, it seems like a very extravagant idea now. It seems that the heavens can't make my wish come true. Is it because I lied to you?
On the other side, Long looked at Lan Lan, who was in a nervous state, making mistakes everywhere.
"Where's Xiaoru?"
"Your Highness, I, this servant doesn't know.”
"Find her now." What's wrong with Lil Ru? She's been missing for the past few days. He had already told her not to leave without permission. He had to teach her a lesson later. She had been getting bolder recently.
" Yes..." Lan Lan was about to look for Ma Xiaoru when she opened the door and bumped into Gauss who was about to knock on the door.
" There's no need to go..." He said to Lan Lan," I went just now, but Xiaoru wasn't in the room."”
"Not in the room?" Long growled.
"Yes, because I felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Ru today, I planned to go over and take a look. Unexpectedly, the room was pitch black and she was not there. He thought that perhaps he was with His Highness, so he came over to take a look.”
"But I saw her in the room at noon. She said that she was not feeling well and wanted to rest. She also asked us not to disturb her.”
"Uncomfortable?" At that time, when he met Ma Xiaoru in the corridor, he had already noticed that something was wrong with her.
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Go and find her immediately!!”Since when did Ma Xiaoru become so impolite?
"Um, there's one more thing." Lan Lan hesitated.
"What is it? Is it about Ma Xiaoru?" Gauss asked anxiously.
Lan Lan nodded." Lil Ru called me, Lil Mei, Hong Chou, and Qing 'Er over in the afternoon to tell us some of His Highness' habits. She said that we would serve His Highness in the future and that she could no longer serve His Highness.”
“……？!!”Long listened coldly.
"Your Highness, I'll go out and find someone immediately. Lan Lan, you stay behind to serve His Highness." Gauss had an ominous feeling.
About 10 minutes later, Gauss rushed in and said breathlessly,""A guard saw Xiao Ru heading towards the Holy Water Lake.”
" What?!" Looking at the full moon that was about to appear outside the window, he knew what Ma Xiaoru wanted to do without thinking." Gauss, I order you to find her immediately. If you can't find it, don't come back!!”
"Yes…"
Damn it! Xiaoru, I picked you up. Your life is mine. If you want to die, I'll end you myself. If you dare to betray me, I won't let you off.
