Chapter 202 The Unexpected Youth
Kuka City, in a small alley somewhere in the east of the city.
This is a fairly ordinary gray brick house, but something strange is that even during the day, the curtains of the entire house are tightly closed.
In the room, a girl wearing an ordinary brown skirt was sitting boredly on a chair in the room, flipping through the book in her hand.
After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a slightly thin figure walked in carrying a tray with food.
“Oh, Cress, I've been waiting for a long time!”
The girl said cheerfully, jumped off the chair, took the tray, helped put it on the table nearby, and chirped.
“I'm sorry, Liz, I have to force you to eat these ordinary things.”
Keress said a little embarrassed.
The food on the table was just ordinary brown bread and stewed vegetable soup, with some traces of bacon between the potatoes and carrots.
“Hey, I feel like I can breathe easier now that I can leave that castle.”
“I have to thank you, Cress, I don't want to marry someone so much older than me.”
Liz didn't pay attention. She hugged Cress fiercely and rubbed her face against the girl's small melon face.
“Instead of that, I might as well live with you, Cress!”
“Well, if Lizzie wishes”
Kress murmured softly, with a little blush on her face.
Kress is an ordinary bronze mage in Kuka City. The inheritance she inherited from her deceased parents is enough for her to live a leisurely and carefree life.
But this peace was broken one day, and Cress remembered it clearly.
It was a sunny spring day. When she was about to go out to buy food for the next few days, a figure suddenly broke in from the door and locked the door tightly with her backhand.
That was a beautiful girl, wearing a gorgeous warm yellow dress, but she looked at herself longingly and said:
“Someone is chasing me outside. Miss, can I stay here for a while?”
Chress didn't know why she agreed to the girl's request without hesitation at that time. All that remained in her memory was the girl's bright face and smile.
It was like casting a ray of sunshine into her monotonous and boring life.
Later, Cress learned that the girl's name was Liz, and she was the daughter of Viscount Kuka, the lord of this place.
That day was when she was going out for fun, but Liz didn't like the fact that the guard was following her, so she quietly shook him off.
Breaking into Cress's home was also an accident, just to avoid the guards who came from behind.
Liz didn't have any other ideas. She just wanted to stay at ease for a while. After staying at Liz's house for a while, she walked around Cress's house in a familiar way, chatted for a while, and then went back honestly.
However, since then, Liz has visited Cress's home from time to time to relax her tense nerves in the Viscount Castle.
Keress didn't know why, but she didn't reject this young lady.
Slowly, it seemed as if there was an extra person in Cress's life, and the gray-white memory picture seemed to have a different color.
Until a week ago, Liz suddenly came to her and said in a rather disappointed tone:
“My father wants to marry me off, and I may never come back again.”
Chress felt that her mind was in confusion at that time, and she subconsciously said:
"So Liz, do you want to come to my place?"
Obviously knowing that this is very dangerous, it will offend the lord Viscount Kuka, and may make her peaceful life gone forever, but all these worries are forgotten by Cress in Liz's sweet smile.
So a few days ago, with the help of Kress, Liz came here quietly, and Kress also tried her best to fake the traces of Liz's escape from Kuka City.
Viscount Kuka was in a hurry, so when Cress went out these days, she found many guards on the street checking the passing people, so the two of them stayed at home.
But it's not good to stay here forever. Sooner or later, Viscount Kuka will come to the door. Cress is already ready to leave with Liz when the inspection at the city gate is relaxed.
Where to go? The royal capital, Bright City? Chrissy sipped the vegetable soup while making plans in her mind.
During this process, Cress, who had never been concerned with other things, gradually matured.
Liz didn't think so much. She felt that she was the luckiest thing to escape from that oppressive home.
Carefully soak the brown bread in the vegetable soup. A little surprise can make her happy for a long time.
As for what the future holds, Liz doesn't want to worry about it.
As long as you are with Chrissy, it will be fine!
Dangdang!
While the two of them were enjoying the food quietly, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Chress's body suddenly became tense, and Liz also looked frightened, but she obediently didn't make a sound, and just stayed there quietly waiting for Cress's decision.
Chress gritted her teeth and whispered to Liz:
“I'll go see what's going on. Just stay here and don't make a sound.”
Liz nodded, knowing very well what Cress was worried about.
Chress didn't let Liz hide.
If the person really came for Liz, there was no point in hiding.
If the target was not Liz, Cress would not let her into the house easily.
Standing in front of the door, Cress took a deep breath to calm down, then looked out through the small hole in the door.
Chress breathed a small sigh of relief. There were no guards. It was not the worst scenario she had imagined.
Standing outside the door was a handsome young man, smiling as if he had noticed someone looking out of the small hole.
“Who are you and what's the matter?”
Chress did not open the door, but asked cautiously.
“My name is Li Si, I come from Bright City.”
“As for the purpose?”
The young man smiled and said something that almost made Cress's heart stop beating.
“To help you and Miss Lizzie.”
Chress's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment. She didn't expect that Liz's name would be said casually by this young man.
That affirmative tone seemed to indicate that he knew all this.
what to do? what to do?
Are you taking Liz and running away now?
No, it's too late, you'll definitely be caught by the guards.
Just when Cress was in a state of confusion, the young man's voice sounded in her ears again.
“Don't worry, I'm here to help you.”
"Otherwise, I will go directly to Viscount Kuka."
Keress calmed down a little. What the man who called himself Li Si said did make sense.
“I think it would be better for me to come in and have a chat, it's too conspicuous here.”
"and"
A ball of blue fire suddenly appeared in the young man's hand, burning quietly, and it reflected something evil and mysterious on his face.
“I don't think this door can stop me.”
Snapped!
The pale-faced Cress didn't hesitate and opened the door suddenly.
