Mag stood beside Anna and looked out the window. It started to rain at some point outside, and the raindrops fell on the ground, moistening things silently, but there was not a single person on the street.
"Maybe I won't be able to come back. After all, I set a death flag when I left, and I added another one." Mag said silently in his heart, looking down at Anna, who looked a little worried, and said with a fake smile: "It's okay. He may have been delayed by something important on the way. Even if he doesn't make it back today, he will be back in a few days."
"Really?" Anna looked up into Mag's eyes, trying to find the answer.
"Really." Mag nodded firmly. In fact, he didn't really believe this in his heart. Although Bloor didn't seem very reliable, we could probably guess from what he said that day that he would What I have to do may not be a simple matter.
"Then I'll wait for him a little longer." Anna withdrew her gaze and looked outside again.
"Okay." Mag nodded and stood by the window without moving.
After coming to this world, I met many people, even if they were not familiar friends, but Mag still couldn't harden his heart, and his mood changed a lot after all.
The rain gradually became heavier and pattered on the floor-to-ceiling glass. The continuous water curtain blocked the view, and the knock on the door never sounded.
"Go to bed first, he will definitely come back." Mag glanced at the clock on the wall. The time already pointed to twelve o'clock. He sighed slightly in his heart and gently touched Anna's hair.
"jingle!"
There was a ringing of bells outside the door.
"It's Uncle Bloor!"
Ana's eyes lit up, she trotted towards the door and pushed the restaurants away.
The rain was blown in by the wind and drenched Anna all over. The bell hanging on the door jingled due to the wind and rain. There was no one in the black rainy night.
Anna stood at the door, tears and rain sliding down her cheeks, and she stood blankly at the door.
"He will be back." Mag closed the door gently, picked up Anna and walked upstairs.
Mag changed Anna into dry clothes, dried her hair, and gently placed her on the bed. Amy and the ugly duckling had already fallen asleep peacefully.
"Go to sleep, maybe he will be back when you wake up tomorrow morning." Mag said softly as she covered Anna with the thin quilt.
"Uncle Mag, am I a cursed elf? No one close to me has a good ending." Anna looked at Mag with her red eyes and asked softly.
"How could it be? Anna is a good girl, not a cursed elf." Mag shook his head and looked at Anna with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Mag." Anna looked at Mag and said softly, then slowly turned around with her back to Mag's direction.
Mag stood by the bed for a while, looking at Anna with pity. What kind of experiences must she have endured to have such thoughts.
…
In the forest of wind, under the tree of life.
Phyllis trotted into the cave, looked a little out of breath and looked at Irina who was planting flowers under the tree and said: "Princess, there has been no news since the transaction was canceled three days ago. Maybe it's because of you. I scared those people before, but, but..."
Irina put the small showerhead in her hand aside, looked at the two bright flowers stuck in the soil, nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at Felice, frowned and said: "Bean sprouts, here I smoothed my tongue and spoke, but what?"
"But! I heard that they want you, princess, to represent the elves at the King of Los Empire's birthday ten days later." Phyllis finally said it smoothly.
"Seriously?" Irina was a little surprised.
Phyllis nodded quickly, "It has been spread among the clan. It is said that Lady Helena proposed it to Her Majesty the Queen, and it should be settled."
Irina frowned, looking a little thoughtful, "What the hell is this old witch Helena doing? She even offered to let me out. She must not have any good ideas."
"Yes, I also think there must be a conspiracy here. The princess must be careful." Phyllis nodded.
"Could it be that this old witch also knew that her appearance could no longer represent the face of the elves, so she let this young and beautiful princess go to Luodu?" Irina's expression became more serious.
"Princess, your thoughts are always so wonderful." Phyllis covered her face, feeling that her princess' brain circuit was still different from that of ordinary people.
"It just so happens that I also want to go to Luodu. Those guys back then should settle some accounts with them." Irina smiled coldly, "Bean sprouts, keep an eye on this place. If you have any news, let me know at any time. I."
"Okay princess." Phyllis nodded vigorously.
…
In the cave full of stars, Heidi, who was covered by a black robe, looked at Helena standing on the high platform with confusion and asked: "Master Helena, why do you want Irina to go to Luo Luo on behalf of the elves?" Du? There has been no news about her in these years. Many people in the clan have speculated that Her Majesty the Queen is dissatisfied with her. If she goes to Lodu on behalf of the elves to celebrate the birthday of the King of Los Empire, wouldn't this break those rumors? Are we at a disadvantage?"
"Hasn't she always wanted to go to Luodu? Then I will make it happen for her." Helena stood on the high platform, looking down at Heidi who was like a black mouse. "Those people are not mice like you. They are not that kind." They are easy to kill and will bite when cornered."
…
On the seventh day, there was no news from Bloor.
On the eighth day, there was no news from Bloor.
…
On the fourteenth day, no news from Bloor...
These days, Anna no longer asks Mag for news about Bloor. She just sits in front of the restaurant for half an hour every day, as if waiting for something.
And Sally would sometimes sit at the door with Anna, just sitting in silence.
Mag went to the Elf Embassy, and the Elf Ambassador met with him. He also didn't get the slightest hint of Bloor's disappearance.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it seemed that Bloor really couldn't come back.
…
"Tomorrow Amy and I are going to Luodu, the capital of the Los Empire, to present food to the king for his birthday, so the restaurant will be temporarily closed for five days.
Barbara, you and Anna can continue to live in the restaurant. I will give you the key and leave you a living allowance. If you can't solve it by yourself, you can eat at an outside restaurant.
Mia, the ice cream shop can continue to open, or it can take a few days off at the same time, just like a short vacation.
In five days, we'll be back. "
During lunch, Mag announced at the dining table.
