At this mont, Philis cried out "baby" in a tearful voice, startling the Green Dragon into jerking its right front claw back, tearing down half a beautiful purple vine in the process.
Her heartbeat also suddenly accelerated, the sado corrosion on her body was purified, but the unrest in her heart was uncontrollable.
Minute by minute, with constant delays, the eastern sky unknowingly brightened with the light of dawn.
As the indigo morning mist drifted through the scales, Aeliria suddenly realized that dew had soaked her paw pads. Her erald tail tip unconsciously wrapped around the branches about to fall from the Purple Vine Tree, entwined by seventeen loops of broken vines from her panic last night, each vine echoing Philis’s sudden elevated tremor. Moonlight illuminated the rose-red light veins coursing beneath her reversed scale, as if it captured the entire night’s tenderness in her chest.
The swirling snow around her hot breath all lted away as she hid in the treetops, heart racing, eavesdropping on the rustling sounds of dressing within the house. Before dawn, two slender figures wrapped in white ermine cloaks left the room, supporting each other as they turned to gaze at the tree house for over a minute, then turned away quietly, leaving behind a few crystalline teardrops that vanished into the swirling snow.
This dark and desperate world treats everyone equally, showing no rcy or hope regardless of their identity, even to a carefree girl or a hopeful lord.
When they left, they did not say goodbye to Su Li, since last night’s relentless entanglent had already expressed everything.
There was no need to say anything more; they wished the last impression they left on the territory and their lover to be sweet and happy.
Not wanting the most embarrassing scenes to be witnessed by each other.
Before dawn broke, in the misty dawn, Philis and Avril departed the territory under the escort of nurous mbers of the Eternal Light Knight Order.
In the tower of Bauhinia Manor, Su Li silently watched this scene, recalling his own departure from Bauhinia Castle, perhaps Count Suna similarly watched quietly.
Ingrid, beside him, gazed coldly into the distance where the banners gradually disappeared in the snowstorm, asked, "You’re awake, why not go see them?"
Su Li gripped his longsword tightly, filled with murderous intent, said, "Only after Archibald is dead, and we have washed away all our humiliation, will I go to see them."
Ingrid sighed, saying, "You’re putting too much pressure on yourself. You’ve established your territory for less than a year; no need to compare with those centuries-old Duke’s territories. Even Archibald has ruled for over 70 years."
As the distant figures entirely disappeared in the snowstorm, Su Li turned and descended the stairs, saying, "Such an incident might not be a bad thing. It tells how much I differ from real power. It prevents pride and laxity."
However, ti will make Su Li aware of the losses from this upheaval.
The once lively, joyful manor turned desolate with the departure of Philis and Avril; Hilude was desperately training, while Freya was not truly Su Li’s courtier. The only courtier remaining with Su Li was Ingrid.
Yet this witch, with her silent, aloof deanor, made the manor extraordinarily quiet and empty.
For more than half a month, apart from Ingrid’s entwining breaths at night ant to soothe Su Li’s gloom, and the Green Dragon’s blush-inducing pleas for rcy, the entire manor had hardly any other sounds.
Oddly, the Green Dragon chose to abandon its vast treasure in the lair to reside atop the Purple Vine Tree.
Presently, the entire Hesse Territory, spurred by sha, was diligently striving; Su Li, having stayed inside the tree house for over half a month, drew no extra attention.
This atmosphere lasted until one morning, when hurried footsteps broke the manor’s silence, as Hilude burst into the tree house, kneeling beside Su Li, gently stroked his back, saying, "Lord, our territory has finally welcod a piece of good news worth celebrating, perhaps it will change your mood. The team sent by the Dwarf Supre King has arrived at our territory."
"The envoy of the Dwarf Supre King has arrived?" Su Li, suddenly invigorated.
Archibald, your death is imminent!
Perhaps Philis will beco the sole heir elector to rule Sulande Province as a master with a massive army!
