~： Fourth year story 100, do you remember...

The autumn wind rustled across the sky.

Has the hot summer finally passed?

Then why...this winter is coming so fast?

It hurts so fast...

It's so fast that people can't stop shaking...

So fast that people don’t even have enough time to add a padded jacket...?

The two are lying.

This was Walnut's first reaction.

Is not it? The young lady who has been taking care of her for so long now turns her face and refuses to recognize her? Did they really eat the courage of the bear heart and leopard? !

Then, Walnut pointed at the noses of the two men and sweared. You know, Katrina's health is not good now, it is the time to need others to care. You two soldiers who didn't guard the gate well, but yelled that there is no one here? What do you mean? I hope that the lady will die soon, so do you guys go home soon and lead the salary? !

Scolding, scolding...

But no matter how they scolded, the two soldiers had an innocent look. Although human eyes can sometimes be fake, idiots can see that there is no lie in these two pairs of eyes. More importantly, there is absolutely no benefit for them to lie on this matter.

Yes……

They might really be...

"Hey, change shift. Ah! Your Royal Highness!"

Two soldiers who had been changing shifts walked out of the earl's mansion, and saw the princess being scolded at the two soldiers, and couldn't help kneeling down at the same time. After listening for a while, they immediately looked at the two colleagues with a very weird look, and when Walnut was a little pant of cursing, they interrupted--

"Charlie, Jack, what's the matter with you? Why don't you even know the lady?"

Receiving approval, Walnut was immediately akimbo, unreasonable. The two soldiers had inexplicable expressions, and they seemed unable to understand what their colleagues said.

"Your Royal Highness, please go here, and let us take you to Miss Lyles's room. We have just met the young lady and she looks much better today."

Walnut snorted and glanced at the two soldiers kneeling over there with a triumphant look. The two soldiers went inside without knowing it, sweating on their foreheads, but they could not say anything.

In order to protect the princess who came by, the four soldiers gave up their duty of guarding the gate and walked towards Katrina's bedroom with Walnut and Bread. Behind them, the idiot slowly followed. Walnut occasionally looked back at him. She was not very demanding, as long as she confirmed that the idiot did not disappear suddenly like yesterday, that was enough.

Along the way, many more maids heard the princess coming and hurriedly came to greet her. Walnut held her hands and maintained the princess's tall lady posture, and walked forward slowly. When she left, she was also sorting out her mood, thinking about what to say to Katrina later.

Pop, pop, pop...

The footsteps of the soldiers guided ahead.

Pop, pop, pop...

Behind them, a "smiling" man lowered his head and followed closely...

Pop, pop...

This earl’s mansion is full of peace, and everyone does not seem to be abnormal...

Slap...slaps...

However, under such "peace", ice crystals float slowly in the air...

at last……

Snapped.

"Ouch!"

The soldier who led the way stopped. His sudden pause made Walnut, who was thinking about it, too late to stop, and directly hit his nose against the armor on the opponent's back.

"What's wrong? Why stop suddenly?"

Walnut clutched his nose and pushed the soldier in front of him a little annoyed. But at this moment, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

It was not only the soldiers who stopped, but also the maids beside them. The dozen or so people who were surrounding her stopped unanimously, and everyone's face was full of confusion and confusion.

Walnut is a little scared. She pushed the soldier in front of her again, boldly, and said loudly: "Hey! Hurry up! It's not here yet?"

The soldier slowly turned his head, his eyes full of doubt when he looked at Walnut. then……

"Princess...go?"

The soldier who claimed to have just seen Katrina shook his head--

"We...will take you..."

"Where to go?"

In the earl's mansion during the day, there was a bit of cold that made people tremble. The last idiot looked around the crowd in front of him, and everyone had a dazed expression on their faces. After scanning, he lowered his head and looked at his right arm...

In the depths of the chain, the crimson pupils were already laughing wildly.

"Step aside!"

Walnut let go of the bread's hand, pushed the soldier in front of him, and rushed out with his skirt. Before the people around came back to their senses, a "smiling" person had already inserted it, picked up the small bread, and also passed through the crowd to catch up. The soldiers and the maids froze for a while, finally recovered, yelled, and chased them together.

"Princess! Princess! Please go slowly!"

"Princess, there is an abandoned house! It's dangerous!"

"princess--!"

Walnut ignored those calls.

She just ran forward, running fast.

While running, a trace of fear spread in her heart. She clutched her beating heart, wiped away the teardrops from the corner of her eyes, and rushed towards Katrina’s bedroom...

bump--!

The door was pushed open...

The fragrance of medicine rushed to the face.

"Whirring whirring……"

Walnut panted and scanned the room nervously. Fortunately, nothing has changed here, medicine is still boiled on the stove, and Katrina's exclusive maid is still folding the lady's clean laundry over there. On the bed, Miss Lyles, who was sick for a long time, was still lying, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep.

Seeing Katrina again, Walnut's tight heart finally let go. She waved to the soldiers and maids who were chasing behind her, pointed to the bed triumphantly, and said loudly, "Dare to say? Who is your lady who is lying on the bed?! Who else would dare to say or remember next time? Yes, I will put you all in prison one by one!"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, everyone’s eyes swept across the bed, but even if Walnut was sure they had seen Katrina, their eyes still showed something color……

confused.

"Princess...that bed...is there anyone sleeping?"

"This house...is there anyone living?"

"You.................. see the hallucination..................have you?"

At this moment, Walnut really opened his mouth and was speechless.

The exclusive maid seemed to have no reaction to the intrusion of the crowd. She was still folding her clothes, putting the folded clothes in a drawer on the side. After doing this, she moved a chair and placed it next to the bed, and Kuan stepped forward, staring blankly at Walnut and saluting——

"Princess, please."

"Hey Ge'er, why are you still here? This is just an empty room. What are you doing here if you don't clean other rooms?"

The maid could see Katerina... Those people could also see the maid, and they were extremely incomprehensible about her behavior. She didn't say much about Walnut's doubts, but stood quietly by Katrina's bed, standing with her hands down.

Walnut didn't sit down, there were too many things she didn't understand... Facing this Katerina who was clearly in front of her, she could see but others could not see, she suddenly felt a little hairy in her heart!

Everyone... can't see?

Could it be that... Could it be that...? !

"She, breathing."

At some point, the idiot had walked to the bed and touched Katrina's nose with her finger.

The "smiling face" turned around, and the coldness and gloom inside it made Walnut unconsciously relieved at this moment. Although sometimes exaggerated, the idiot's calmness is definitely not an illusion. Since he says that Katrina is still alive, the one lying on the bed can never be...

Walnut's complexion turned green again, she smoked, stepped forward, and sat down.

The rest of the soldiers and maids left one after another, except to say hello to the princess, they did not bow to Katrina. As the door closed, the concoction tumbling in the furnace... became the only thing that still made a sound here.
