On a summer night, the stars are shining over the dull field. On the road leading to the Roselle Business United Nations, the black-haired boy is resting on the side, and not far from him, a group of armored guards is setting up a tent.

It has been three days since the Saint Frey Academy set off to chase Sorovia’s caravan. Because the black-haired boy was anxious, Roja and others had almost no rest during the three days, and they were galloping on the road day and night. However, to Roja's surprise, it was this kind of chase that did not succeed in catching up with Charlotte's gem necklace caravan.

Although it was two days earlier than Roja and the others, Charlotte rode a carriage, and Roja and others were a team of cavalry. Normally speaking, they should catch up with Soro in the early morning of the third day at the latest. The Fia family is, but the fact is that no one is seen until the evening.

For the Gem Necklace Convoy, it was clear that Roja, who lived in it for some time, couldn’t be more clear. The mobile palace created by space spells like that is normally slower than ordinary carriages. The main pursuit is For comfort, it is unlikely that there is a sudden technological breakthrough that can run fast, so it is nowhere to be seen, and there is only one reason that can be thought of.

That is, Charlotte and others, just like Roja and others, are also on the road day and night.

The black-haired young man couldn't help but frowned when he thought of this. If Roja was still guessing before, then he can be sure that Charlotte and the others have had an accident.

At the end of the joint conference of nations, unlike the battered religious state, there is no emergency at all for the financially rich Roset. Normally, there is no need for such a hurry, so the most likely thing is to avoid something.

The enemy? No, it's impossible, no matter what, this is also on the official road of the country of scholars. How can someone pursue and kill in such a place? Even a fallen person who is as powerful as a tree-man offering sacrifices can trick Roya and others into the ravine.

It's not the enemy's pursuit, so what else is worthy of Charlotte making such a fuss, can it be said that... is hiding from me?

After thinking about it for a while, Roya had such an idea inexplicably, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, but at the same time, there were many puzzles in his heart.

Why avoid him? Even if there is something wrong with the relationship between two people, evasion won't solve the problem, right? I didn't say goodbye before. Is there something I didn't want to tell him?

The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, so that the black-haired boy could not help but stretch out his hand and squeeze his eyebrows, then looked at the busy heretics warriors, and took a deep breath to calm his mood.

In any case, after three days of chasing, Roja and others were in a state that they could no longer move on, and the young man also seized a short time and thought about clues seriously.

Leaving aside the girl's thoughts, if it is said that something happened to Charlotte this time, what is the root cause? The eldest lady who just returned from the joint meeting shouldn't have a security problem, that is to say, it is an internal matter?

After Acatel and Rossel resumed their previous relationship and conducted frequent commercial cooperation, the military department represented by Mr. Eugene has always been a hard-core supporter of the two. It is difficult to imagine the combination of Bruce and the military. What chaos will happen in the country...Wait! Bruce!

When the name appeared in the heart of the boy, the black-haired boy suddenly widened his eyes, remembering the opportunity he had had an intersection with Charlotte, that is, the lamp that he sold to Bruce. At the same time, it came to Roya's mind. There is a man's strange disease.

The immortality of Bruce’s body was seen by Roja a few years ago. Since most of the items in the system are unique, Roja did not find anything similar to that lamp after that, but fortunately even it was After the lamp oil ran out, the effect of the curse did not completely disappear.

Although it has deteriorated, with the oil lamp, Bruce's situation can barely be maintained before. Could it be that something happened this time that caused Charlotte's father to fall ill?

Thinking of this possibility, Roja's spirit is a little better. Although it is a bit bad to say that, in fact, as long as the accident on Rose's side is not Charlotte, Roja will not be so anxious, even if Bruce is critically ill. Carter led the storm as well.

Luo Ya, who was almost overwhelmed in his personal affair, shook his head when he thought of this, looking up at the dazzling starry sky, his mind drifting into the distance.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

"Miss, you can't go on like this anymore."

Inside the gem necklace convoy, the black-haired maid looked at the girl who became awake early in the morning with a look of sorrow on her face. In front of her, Charlotte, who had just improved yesterday, could not afford to be ill again. Up.

There is no sign, and there is no way to prevent it. The only thing that can be done is to use the Golden Soul to suppress and share to a certain extent. Charlotte’s unknown disease is like this, as difficult as a ghost that cannot be captured, and Seeing the girl who was deprived of her health again in a short time, Grace couldn't bear it anymore.

"Miss, I must tell Lord Roja about this matter, and please forgive me."

"Grace! Didn't I say not to..."

"Miss, although I am a maid, I am also your escort. One of my jobs is to ensure your safety. I think the current situation is quite unfavorable. I must seek the support of an ally, that is, the Acate family. Please also Don't continue to be stubborn."

Facing Charlotte’s strict prohibition, the black-haired maid interrupted the girl’s words for the first time, and resolutely expressed her opinion, and when she saw Grace with a warrior-like serious expression. The brown-red-haired **** the hospital bed couldn't help being taken aback.

"Grace... you made a fuss too much. It is not as serious as you think. This disease will aggravate at night. In the morning, it will make people look worse than they really are, father. This is the case for adults, you should be clear about these."

"..."

Looking at the maid with a firm face, the girl with brown-red hair slowed down after thinking for a moment, and softly persuaded Grace to dispel her mind. However, these maids who accompanied Charlotte since childhood were in front of her. It didn't work.

"That's true. I've heard of Mr. Bruce's poor condition in the morning, but Miss, let's not mention the extent of the disease for the time being. Both the frequency and time of the disease have greatly increased.

"..."

Hearing Grace pointed directly at the core problem, the **** the hospital bed was speechless, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

As Grace said, Charlotte’s illness was actually just a momentary discomfort at the beginning, lasting only a few seconds, and the frequency was about once every half a month. It even thought it was an illusion caused by fatigue and neurasthenia. However, as time passed, not only did the frequency become once every few days, the duration also began to increase gradually.

Although the disease has not endangered the girl's life so far, with this development trend, the disease will sooner or later become a stubborn disease that can kill people like Bruce.

The black-haired maid became resolute when thinking of these attitudes, but Charlotte on the bed had no intention of changing her mind. When the two of them couldn't look at each other, the female guard outside the door suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in, what's the matter?"

"Miss, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared behind us. The leader is the acting lord Loya of Acate, you see..."

"what!?"

Hearing the words of the guard, Charlotte suddenly sat up, her emerald eyes contracted suddenly, and outside the carriage, the black-haired boy hurriedly approached.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

"Master Roja, Miss Charlotte is dressing up. It will take some time. Please wait a moment."

"Well, I got it."

On the official road of the Kingdom of Scholars, more than a dozen beautifully decorated carriages are parked on the side of the road. It is obvious that they have gone through a long journey. Looking at the guards of the coachman who started fighting with their upper and lower eyelids after parking, Luo Ya also Basically affirmed Sorovia's speculation day and night, and his eyes sharpened.

Sure enough, there is a problem.

The black-haired boy who thought so was holding the reins, thinking about everything that happened before.

Before the sun rose this morning, Roja and his team started on their way again. After a few hours of galloping, they finally managed to catch up with Charlotte’s Jewel Necklace caravan, but to Roja’s surprise, the caravan found them. After that, he didn't stop for the first time, but chose to move on.

No matter when it was in the past, for whatever reason, as long as Roja accidentally ran into Charlotte, the girl would definitely ask the convoy to stop immediately. However, this time, the girl with the brown-red hair did not do so, so that Roja would be able to play. Followed the convoy for a long time.

After the convoy stopped, what happened was even more bizarre. Charlotte did not jump out of the car as usual. It was not Grace who was a girl's personal maid who came out to greet him, but a female guard, although Roja I also had some impressions of her, but as the person who greeted Roja, she was undoubtedly not qualified.

This is, get off the hook? No, it shouldn't be...

Seeing this, Roja couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't think too much. After all, these are not very important now. Roja's goal is very clear, and that is to wait for Charlotte to explain everything. However, as time goes by Minutes passed, but the black-haired boy frowned.

It's too long.

Looking at the coachmen who had begun to doze off due to the long parking, the black-haired boy's complexion couldn't help but become heavier.

Although it takes a lot of time for young girls to get up early to tidy up their appearances, Charlotte, who is Miss Sorovia, is not among them. During the days when Roja and her travel together, the girls are very fast every morning. , There will even be extra time to peek at Roja’s sleeping face.

Now that the light is already bright today, according to Charlotte's habit, it should have been a long time ago. Why hasn't the door been opened for so long? The young man who didn't know what the girl with the brown-red hair meant was puzzled. Just as he was hesitating whether to forcibly enter, the closed car door finally opened, and Charlotte's invitation arrived.

Roja nodded when she heard that Charlotte was already waiting in the reception room. After more than a year, he entered the gem necklace convoy again. After passing through the door and the spacious living room, the black-haired boy came to the familiar meeting. In the guest room, and on the bench opposite, the girl with brown-red hair had already sat down.

After a lapse of a year, Charlotte’s appearance has not changed much, and her height has not increased significantly. Her brown-red hair is still as beautiful as a wafting flame, her white skin is white and flawless, and her face is correct. The emerald pupil is intoxicating.

Today’s girl wears a red-and-white dress with a strong personal design style on her exposed shoulders. I think it should have been made by the girl herself. The tight waist is fully gripped, and the skirt underneath is not too long. A red leg loop on the exposed slender thighs is particularly conspicuous.

Seductive and pure, noble but avant-garde, this is the unique feeling that Charlotte gives, and it is also its unique personal charm.

When he saw the girl with brown-red hair, the black-haired boy couldn't help but froze for a moment because of the stunning beauty, but immediately adjusted his state with a cough.

"Long time no see, Charlotte, how are you doing?"

"...Well, I'm fine, how about you dear?"

"I am not bad too."

Hearing Charlotte’s rhetorical question, the black-haired teenager recalled his experience this year and couldn’t help but speak. From the tragedy of the Tucker Fortress to the civil war, to the recent investigation team incident, Roja’s experience this year It's hard to describe the experience, but on the other side, the girl with brown-red hair is even more so.

Suffocating the weakness in the body, Charlotte put down the teacup and stared at Roja almost greedily. After seeing each other a year later, Charlotte actually had a thousand words in his heart to tell, but it is not now. A good time.

The girl with brown-red hair did not forget her state. According to the plan, Charlotte should have expressed her dissatisfaction and then tried to get Roja to leave, but after meeting, the girl found that she overestimated herself. This plan is actually She couldn't do it at all.

At the moment when she saw the teenager, Charlotte's heart was almost aching and beating violently. It was a feeling of sudden outburst of thoughts and feelings that had been silent for a year, making the girl's rusty heart suddenly come to life.

No, it's impossible to drive him away or something.

The girl who was thinking this way looked distressed, and opposite her, Roja returned to reality after a moment of memory, looking at Charlotte and asking questions that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"Charlotte, has something happened recently?"

"Huh? What happened? Honey, what are you talking about?"

"Don't act, this trick is useless to me."

Hearing Roja's sudden questioning, Charlotte's emerald eyes flashed in a panic, then smiled and asked to cover up, but Roja was completely unmoved when she saw such a girl.

From the time she met Charlotte, Roja knew that the girl was a master acting player. Roja was often deceived by her when the two got along. However, as time passed and the two became more familiar with each other, this trick has gradually turned against Luo. Ya has failed.

"You didn't tell me when you returned to St. Freya College before, and then you went back to China without saying goodbye. I don't think this is your normal behavior. Let's just say, what happened?"

"...It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel homesick."

"homesick?"

"Not bad."

Facing Roja’s questioning, the girl with brown-red hair gave such an answer. This was obviously a perfunctory answer that naturally couldn’t satisfy Roja. However, no matter how the teenager asked, Charlotte remained unmoved and insisted. He claimed that he was traveling for too long and wanted to go home and rest as soon as possible.

Hearing Charlotte's words, Luo Ya not only didn't let go of his heart, but the worry in his heart increased sharply. Knowing the girl, he vaguely had some ominous premonitions, but he couldn't get the slightest clue in the girl's words. Roja could only observe Charlotte, wanting to see some clues from other aspects, and soon, an anomaly was naturally discovered by him.

Looking at the single girl in front of him, Roja's golden pupils were slightly narrowed, and his eyes sharpened like a falcon. After thinking for a while, the boy spoke and asked his own question.

"Charlotte, your personal maid, where is Grace?"
