The more news about the black dragon, the more unsettling it became.
Yin Leya didn't know what happened to the others, but she had insomnia that night and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the terrifying scene of the black dragon wreaking havoc everywhere in the green field, spitting out flames, and burning everything to pieces.
And thanks to Li Yu's action camera, the girl now doesn't even have to imagine what the monster looks like. Her brain can directly process the ready-made material into a horror movie, and then start playing it on a loop.
In the end, Miss Rabbit simply stopped sleeping, climbed out of bed, threw on some clothes, and walked out of her bedroom.
She didn't think about where to go, so she just wandered around the castle to relax.
It was almost late at night, most people had gone to sleep, and the corridors were empty.
It was so quiet that only the girl's footsteps could be heard.
Yin Leya recalled that when she was young, she would be scared every time she got up to urinate in the middle of the night because her room was at the other end of the corridor and she had to walk a long way to get to the latrine.
At that time, her mind was filled with those ghost stories told to her by her wet nurse, so she was always particularly afraid of the darkness and shadows, worried that there might be monsters hiding inside.
In order not to go out in the middle of the night, she would even deliberately hold in her urine. Until she was seven years old, one time she couldn't hold it in and peed on the bed.
Since then, her father had several more torches installed in the corridor, lighting up the path from her room to the latrine.
Yin Leya didn't know why she thought of this little thing again.
It had been more than four months since she became the new owner of this castle, but sometimes when she finished her day's work and returned to her room to rest, she would still feel a moment of confusion when she opened the door.
She thought she would see that familiar figure inside, but then the empty bedroom reminded her that that person was no longer there.
There have been too many changes in her life recently. Ever since she started wanting to become the new head of Arias' family, she first had a battle of wits with her stepmother, and then she was busy looking for spies to prepare for a banquet.
Soon after, the lizardmen ran out of the swamp again, plundering everywhere, once reaching the Teacup Castle, and then faced the threat of the dragon again...
One thing happened after another, so much so that she didn't even have time to digest the pain of that person leaving.
Until tonight, perhaps the sense of crisis that the dragon brought to her was too strong, making her want to find support involuntarily, or perhaps the bond between the ugly-faced man and the black beauty also brought back some memories in her.
In short, the girl misses the former owner of this castle very much now.
Even if that person is not the most outstanding among the previous heads of the Arias family, especially after Yin Leya has taken over his mantle and become the new lord of this territory, looking back at some of the things he has done before, she finds that It may not be as wise as that person boasted at the time.
This is probably growth. The parents who were omnipotent in their eyes when they were young will one day lose all their aura and become mortals again.
But Yin Leya still hopes that person can stay with her.
A gust of night wind blew by, and the girl realized that she had walked out of the stone castle. The night guard in front of the door was a little surprised when he saw her, but he quickly reacted and saluted her quickly.
Yin Leya nodded at the other party, and was about to go somewhere else when she heard the guard say, "Miss Yin Leya, you are here too, are you here to see the old lady? She has just climbed onto the city wall. "
"My great-grandmother Ona, isn't she asleep too?" the girl took back her half-stepped steps and asked.
The guard hesitated for a moment, and finally said truthfully, "Since Lord Russ passed away, the old lady has not been sleeping well. She often wakes up at this time, and then walks around the city wall, and tells us not to tell Others, do you need me to inform her of your arrival?"
"No, I'll go up by myself."
After Yin Leya finished speaking, she walked towards the city wall.
She picked up her nightgown, stepped on the steep stone steps, and climbed up the castle wall step by step. Soon she saw another figure on the top of the city.
It was her great-grandmother. The old man stood under the starry sky, looking at the distant forest in trance.
Yin Leya didn't come forward to disturb her. It wasn't until Ona looked away that she said, "Ruth also liked to do this before."
"What?"
"My father, your grandson, also likes to stand here and look out over his territory."
"Yes, he learned it from his father, and his father learned it from his father's father." The old man said, "The men of the Arias family, sometimes they are like the same mold. It’s carved out of it.”
Because she suspected that someone in the castle was colluding with her stepmother Vanessa, Yin Leya once no longer trusted these blood relatives around her. But later, following Li Yu's advice, the girl took the initiative to show some kindness to her relatives.
And Ona has been firmly supporting her great-granddaughter since then. After her statement, people in the Arias family quickly accepted Yin Leya as the new head of the family.
Both sides took a step back, which finally put all the previous unpleasantness behind them.
But it is impossible to say that there is no grudge in her heart. When she thinks that someone has tried to manipulate the election and elect her half-brother to the position, it is difficult for Yin Leya to trust her relatives like before.
Including her great-grandmother who had taken care of her for a long time, the girl had been keeping a distance from them intentionally or unintentionally. The two parties rarely had private conversations like tonight.
When she got closer, Yin Leya realized that Ona was much older than she remembered. Not only were all her hair white, but the wrinkles on her face were also deeper, and her pores had become cloudy.
Reconnecting with what the previous guard said, she began to have trouble sleeping since Ruth's death, and would climb up the city wall from time to time.
Yin Leya couldn't help but feel a little guilty for her previous intentional alienation, so she said again, "You are right. Regarding whether those lizard people should be left behind, I remember you once said that a storm is coming, and emergency situations must be met. You have to do something extraordinary. At that time, most people including me did not agree with your idea.
"But the final facts prove that you are the right person. Considering the terrifying monsters hidden in that swamp, we really need the power of those lizard people."
After a pause, the girl continued, "This incident also reminded me that, except for Fausto, the people around me are generally younger. Although I don't want to admit it... but sometimes we may not be so, uh... …far-sighted, so I’m thinking that maybe I should listen to more advice from people with rich experience like you in the future.”
However, contrary to her expectation, Ona shook her head, "I am too old and can no longer advise you like I did for your father, your grandfather, and your great-grandfather, and the storm I mentioned before , nor does it refer to the dragon."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
