Perhaps Slade did this intentionally, but Angie happened to land near a house.

After asking them for directions, she discovered that this was already a suburb of Kent County. She breathed a long sigh of relief and felt completely at ease.

Slade is somewhat conscientious.

Following the direction they pointed, she ran wildly with a black cloak covering her whole body, and returned to the vicinity of the castle in less than ten minutes.

The moment her sight touched the city gate, she quickly saw the familiar brown-haired young man - Sean.

He stood at the city gate in casual clothes, looking around anxiously, as if waiting for someone.

Soon, his eyes met Anji's, and his face suddenly lit up with joy. He waved to her and ran over:
"Angie! Are you okay?"

"Oh, that's alright."

Seeing him so happy, Anji couldn't help but feel warm in her heart——

After Jesiel, there is one more person waiting for her return in this castle.

Smiling and waving to him, she also ran towards Sean. She soon came to him and asked curiously:

"Why are you standing at the city gate? Are you waiting for someone?"

"Wait for you."

He lowered his head in embarrassment, but then he looked up at the girl in front of him and asked her with worry:

"Why didn't you come back with Lord Slade? I saw her getting out of the carriage alone... Did you have another conflict with her?"

"What do you mean 'again'..." Anji couldn't help but sigh, and then she laughed helplessly, "However, it seems to be the case... It's just that we didn't quarrel this time, it was more like she was losing her temper. ?”

When she said the last words, she deliberately lowered her voice and leaned into Sean's ear. Sean was also surprised by this and asked in a low voice in disbelief:

"really?"

"Well," Angie smiled and nodded, "If you want to hear the specific content, I can tell you when I get back?"

"it is good."

Sean smiled too.

But the next second, his expression gradually darkened. When Anji looked sideways at him in confusion, he said hesitantly:
"There are some things... I want to discuss with you."

"it is good."

Five minutes later, Angie took Sean to her bedroom on the fourth floor of Shutward Palace.

After inviting Sean to sit on the chair next to the wooden table, she sat down next to him and recounted the things that happened when she got along with Slade today. This made Sean feel nervous and couldn't help but sigh heavily. He took a breath and frowned helplessly:
"You can obviously lie to her and say, 'You will be obedient,' but you insist on thinking about what you say... Why are you always so stubborn?"

"I'm just trying to get along with her."

As she said this, she looked seriously into Sean's eyes and patiently explained to this man who really cared about her:

"Slade is very defensive. For some reason, she can easily tell when other people are lying and when they are telling the truth.

"If that's the case, then why do I continue to lie to her? If I continue to lie to her knowing that I will be found out, this approach will only make people think that I am completely untrustworthy and have no intention of being honest. It will worsen my relationship with her.

"I just couldn't change my mind, and I couldn't deceive her, so I just confessed. That's all."

After listening to Angie's words, Sean also understood her approach.

But even so, he still couldn't help sighing and said dullly:
"Well... what you did makes sense. But why did Lord Slade want you to go to the cemetery? I originally thought she was deliberately using this method to punish you..."

"Yes, I have to tell you about this - the gatekeeper of the cemetery specially invited me to this cemetery... probably." With Sean's surprised expression, she explained to him After learning the whole story, Sean's mood also dropped and he murmured:

"The gatekeepers of the cemetery must also be cursed creatures, right? The Anji they invited should be you... But why do they know about you and specially invite you there?"

"I don't know, so I wanted to ask."

Anji answered calmly, but at this moment, Sean's eyes widened and he couldn't help but question her:

"Why?? At this time, you don't want to think about how to avoid the cemetery, but you actually want to take the initiative to see the gatekeeper?? Why aren't you worried about your own safety?"

"Then let me ask you: If I run away now, can I live the rest of my life in peace?"

As he said this, Anji looked at him firmly, and his voice became louder unconsciously: "Sean, we are all fearless and knights in this castle. As long as we live, we will be constantly attacked. Sent out, constantly encountering danger.

"For us, becoming stronger is not only our destiny, but also the only way to protect ourselves and those around us. With Slade accompanying me this time, my survival rate can also be improved a lot——

"I understand, I know...but, do you really need to be in such a hurry?"

She had been listening to her talk when Sean suddenly interrupted her.

He looked very sad and his voice was trembling. This made Anji stunned on the spot and looked at him as he continued bitterly:

"You are really too impatient... Do you know? There has never been anyone in the entire Glosk who can have 137 patience points at your age, let alone your current level. It only took a short time In about three months...

"Angie, why are you always so anxious to become stronger? Now that the relationship between Slade and you has eased, you can plan slowly and take a long-term view, instead of just leaving a place similar to a high-end foreign land. Hurry to the real high-end alien land...

"Have you ever thought that with your current situation, you will have mild symptoms of discomfort in a seventh-level alien world? This kind of discomfort is mild, but it is also a kind of discomfort that makes your whole body feel uncomfortable slowly. The terrible symptoms that consume your life force - can you really survive in such a dangerous place?"

"Sean."

Calling out his name calmly and looking at him with a sad face, Anji took a deep breath and said what she wanted to say a long time ago:

"In what capacity did you say these words to me?"

Seeing her say this expressionlessly, Sean's heart skipped a beat and his whole body became nervous.

He didn't dare to answer casually at this time, but just watched her looking at him and continued without emotion:

"Elijah cares about me and takes care of me because he is my sword and I am his master. However, as long as it is a decision I make, he can only try to persuade me, but he does not dare to over-persuad, for fear of offending me. He got angry and was thrown away by me - but he did do things 'privately' against my wishes, so I won't mention that for now."

Hearing her words, Elijah blinked awkwardly, not daring to say anything, and listened to her silently:
"The reason why Charles wanted to interfere with my thoughts was because he liked me and was worried that I would be in danger. But he didn't dare to interfere with me too much for fear of arousing my resentment - after all, the time I spent with him was relatively short. , the relationship between us is not that deep, and I did not officially agree to his confession.

"Then, why do you want to change my mind and interfere with my choices? Just because you want to repay your kindness to your parents? Just because you swore allegiance to me?"

"I……"

At this moment, Sean swallowed hard and couldn't help but retreat a little.

Yes...what qualifications does he have to persuade her?
From the moment he pledged his allegiance, he and she were no longer equal.But Anji had always treated him as an almost equal, and they had experienced too many things together during this journey, so he gradually became familiar with her and gradually forgot about her:
In fact, he shouldn't interfere too much with her decision.

What he should do is "use all possible means to help her", just as he swore back then——

I am willing to dedicate all my loyalty to you, dedicate my life, dedicate everything I have, implement all your decisions, fight bravely for you, be ready to sacrifice for you at any time, and never break my oath.

But now, not only did he seriously violate the rule of "implementing all your decisions", but he also did a very poor job in other aspects - during the previous journey, Anji encountered so many dangers, but he still failed to do so. How could she help? She even entered Norson Village to save him, causing her to be involved in danger...

Is he a burden to her?

Shouldn't I be by her side?
