Chapter 213: Traces of Trial and Error Jiang Suian always has inexplicable problems with some things...

The spire of the castle was inserted into the night, pieces of bright silver were falling, and the lights below were already on.

The maids and servants brought out the food trays and left the dining room one after another with their heads bowed.

As the dining room door closed, the silence inside was as quiet as the candlelight.

[Vefiya] sat at the head of the table and ate her appetizers very naturally, not caring at all about Isidore and the other four, as well as Mei and Marlene, who were dining at the same table with her.

She knew their eyes were on her intermittently, but she didn't care.

She decisively chose the Saracen broth among the three options in front of her: Saracen broth, spelt and milk porridge, and fried fish with candied fruit sauce. As for the James sauce on the side, she didn't want to use it for the time being.

She didn't care who she dined with, after all, she had been through so many years with that group of disgusting relatives.

but……

[Vifiya] thought about it nonchalantly and felt that it would be pretty good if it was with Jiang Suian.

However, the knight chosen by Jiang Suian also sat at the table. It was against the rules for the knight to dine at the same table with the host, but since Jiang Suian had already agreed, she would not stop him.

Likewise, she had no problem with all the dishes being served at once without any waiters.

Mei concentrated on her meal and stopped observing Vifiya.

She and Lady Vifiya are so similar.

The only thing that was certain was that she had no ill intentions, at least towards Lady Vifiya. In the past few days, she not only helped catch the traitor with great enthusiasm, but also took a tour of the Marquis's Mansion, and from time to time she would catch them and ask them to talk about Lady Vifiya.

Although they could see that she was defending Lady Vefiya, they were still wary of her, but she didn't care.

Their worry about Lady Vefiya's absence and Vefiya's concern for Lady Vefiya actually reached a strange balance, forcing both sides to avoid a falling out.

No, Mei vaguely realized that she was the one holding them back.

After all, they still hadn't been able to dig out who she was from her mouth.

Mei couldn't express her feelings, it was strange.

She couldn't figure out [Vefiya's] character.

Lady Vifiya was usually kind to them, but this person was almost similar to Lady Vifiya, but sometimes she could even be vicious.

Most of the opposite words are vividly expressed in her.

She once took the initiative to ask the servants in the mansion about their impressions of [Vefiya] after she woke up, and their answers were all that Lady Vifiya was no different from before.

Even when [Vifiya] wanted to know about Lady Vifiya, it was she who made them tell him.

I am very familiar with Lady Vifiya, but I don't know what she has done.

Marlene glanced at Mei, who was trying hard to hide her heavy thoughts. To be honest, as long as she could be sure that Lady Vifiya would come back and that person had no ill will towards her, that was enough.

But Mei does think more than her.

Isidore didn't even look at the person sitting on the main seat. He was always flustered by Vifiya's every move, but at this moment he became the calmest among everyone.

I don’t know what happened recently. He hasn’t felt Vifiya’s emotions for a long time, but now he can vaguely feel her condition.

She is at peace now.

This is also the reason why Isidore can keep his composure.

He didn't know who Vifia would make friends with, and he never wanted to stop her from making friends with anyone. She was always free.

"Tell me about her." The girl sitting on the main seat smiled, looking extremely innocent.

Mei looked up and saw her pointing at Kaharun. She was very excited and said, "You will speak today."

[Vifiya] knew that whatever they said would hide something, but it was enough for her. The world is full of truth and falsehood, and everyone has the right to lie.

Kaharun paused his meal, clearly not in a good mood when he met him in front of the dining room.

She was better at hiding her emotions than Vifia. If Vifia hid under the ice, she went straight into the water.

She was the last person he wanted to meet.

He has always been sensitive to emotions, and her emotions were too mixed, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy or unhappy. They could only be forced to feel the emotions she actively expressed.

What's even more terrifying is that she doesn't seem tired of it, but rather enjoys it.

Kaharun didn't know what to say for a moment and felt like crying but had no tears.

Vifiya, where did you make your friends? They are terrible.

He took another sip of the broth slowly, and told the story of Vifiya becoming a marquis and going to Iscana.

Kaharun talked about the village of Yoko, omitting some details and adding some fictional content to make it more plausible.

[Vefiya] was concentrating on eating in silence, and the people present could not see her expression.

She never asked for details and never questioned anything, as if she really just wanted to listen to the story.

The snow outside the window gradually fell heavily, the warm orange candlelight was motionless, and everything in the dining room looked peaceful.

Kaharun narrated slowly, "Yoko Village was enveloped by a black barrier. We were all dragged into a dream, trapped in amnesia. It was Vifia who first noticed something was amiss."

Most people in the Segarot Empire knew about Quishili's affairs, but not many knew that they were also involved.

Mei and Marlene gradually stopped eating and looked at Kaharun. This was something they didn't know.

"She risked her life alone to wake everyone in Yoko Village."

Kaharun paused. In his peripheral vision, he saw Vifiya's hand on the main seat pause for a moment, and heard the sarcastic remarks they had often heard recently: "You are such a waste."

Osa and the others clenched the handles of the spoons, not out of anger at Vifiya's words, but out of guilt that they really couldn't help Vifiya at that time.

Looking back now, they had been through a lot with Vifiya. They seemed to understand her, but it seemed that they had never really known her.

There was always a layer of membrane on her body. She stood in the middle of them, but she was very far away from them.

When they realized something was wrong, she turned around and smiled at them. The membrane was gone, but they knew it was still there.

They were very worried about her condition. Just like what happened with Neve last time, it was not a good thing to be emotionally detached too quickly.

All the words they wanted to say to comfort her were useless in the face of her quickly detached and nonchalant expression.

Is she really not sad anymore?

If they said it out loud, would it remind her of that incident and bring back the pain?

If only they could do more, do more for her, share more with her. They are friends, aren't they?

The red eyes took in everyone's little emotions.

Humph, I still can’t do anything.

Waking up from a dream is an easy thing to say, but their emotions don’t say that.

So incompetent.

[Vefiya] raised her eyes and a hint of teasing fell on Kaharun: "Are you testing me?"

Mei and Marlene obviously didn't know what happened in Yoko Village, so it was very likely that only a few people knew about it. He was telling it now to test whether she knew what happened in Yoko Village and whether she had been with Jiang Suian all the time.

Kaharun's expression remained unchanged. He grabbed the spoon and calmly asked, "What's the problem?"

[Vifiya] scooped up a spoonful of layered almond milk pudding and put it into her mouth. The taste of almonds spread in her mouth.

"Of course not."

Kaharun withdrew his gaze. It was unbelievable. No matter what they were thinking or what their intentions were, she could see through them.

Kaharun suddenly didn't understand.

Will a person who can easily see through others value another person particularly?

What she showed was what she wanted them to see. For such people, truth or falsehood no longer mattered, right?

After taking the last bite of pudding, [Vifiya] drank the orange wine on the table. The sweetness brought by the honey still couldn't dilute the bitter and sour taste of the bitter orange.

After wiping her lips with a handkerchief, she stood up. Everyone's eyes, except Isidore, were on her. She said, "No one of you is allowed to disturb me tonight."

She knew they had someone guarding the bedroom every night, and they were watching out for her.

"What do you want to do?" Mei asked cautiously. She knew that even if she asked, [Vifiya] might not answer, or rather, she might not answer at all.

[Vefiya] lowered her eyes and rested them on Mei, with a half-smile and an innocent venom: "I want to chat with her, is there a problem?"

Isidore's gaze suddenly turned to her.

[Vefiya] naturally noticed him.

That person is very obsessed with Jiang Suian, not just ordinary obsession.

She left without looking at anyone in the dining room.

Mei looked at her back, not expecting her to answer. It was obvious who the "she" she was talking about was.

Kaharun continued to eat but fell silent, with an indescribable look on his face. Vifiya must have done it on purpose, in retaliation for his previous question.

The light of candles filled the dim corridor, and the servants at work saluted the master of the castle.

[Vifiya] occasionally nodded slightly, glanced over, but more often she ignored him.

After all, the first two are what Jiang Suian would do.

She pushed open the door to the familiar bedroom, where the fireplace had been refilled with wood by a servant while she was eating.

She walked towards the bookshelf, which contained both her own books and those that Jiang Suian had put down later.

She pulled out the "Basic Pharmacy Illustrated Book".

Jiang Suian is actually interested in this kind of book?

She lowered her eyes and couldn't see clearly, so she turned and walked towards the carved bench beside the fireplace.

[Vefiya] found a comfortable position, covered herself with a thin blanket, and opened the book.

It’s very boring content. How did Jiang Suian continue reading it?

The only sound in the room was the sound of turning pages.

Turn the pages one by one and read them one by one.

Candle wax dripped from the exquisite candlestick, and the girl's figure was reflected in the orange light.

The girl moved and closed the book.

She looked at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

Jiang Suian.

It seems that you have experienced many lives while I was away.

According to the people in the Marquis' Mansion, the true and false stories of what Jiang Suian had done showed obvious traces of continuous trial and error.

Finding a loyal knight, the messy books on the bookshelf, the various management of the Marquis's mansion, and revenge on the other people in the Marquis's mansion...

You work so hard, Jiang Suian.

You even helped me fulfill my wish.

[Vifiya]'s eyes were filled with disappointment.

What an idiot indeed.

When I disappeared at that time, I deliberately left a feeling of guilt in my memory, just to let you understand that you don't need to care about me, you just need to focus on how to get home, and you don't need to do anything for me.

She left her memories so that Jiang Suian could make good use of them.

Hadn't she taught her to use everything she could, including her memory?

Really, do I feel like since I inherited her memory, I have to do something to compensate her?

[Vifiya] Close your eyes, Jiang Suian always gets inexplicably obsessed with some things.

"Are you thinking about me?"

[Vefiya] slowly opened her eyes. Still sulking at Jiang Suian, she said dryly, "Yeah, think about it, what's wrong?"
