"What happened?"
Alicia trotted out of the castle, and then saw the cliff not far away that had half of the mountain wall cut off.
Before she could react, she saw Arthur kneeling down in front of Char, bowing to the ground, with his head on the ground and speaking sincerely.
"Teacher, I want to learn swordsmanship!"
Alicia tilted her head in confusion.
A smile appeared on Xia Ya's face and she joked, "Didn't you just say you didn't want to learn?"
"That's because I was short-sighted just now." Arthur said, "Teacher, why didn't you tell me earlier that your swordsmanship is so great?"
"You must teach me!" Arthur said with shining eyes.
Xia Ya smiled and said, "I can teach you, but there is a condition."
"What conditions?" Arthur asked immediately.
Charia took out a book from her body and handed it to Arthur. The cover of the book was very simple and did not even have a title, as if it was homemade.
"Read this book in the next two days, and then tell me your thoughts."
"No problem!" Arthur said immediately.
After saying that, he directly took the book from Char's hand and ran into the castle without even saying hello to Alicia who was standing at the door. It seemed that she really wanted to learn Char's sword skills.
What Chara just handed him was a biography called "The Biography of Napoleon".
If you use copper as a mirror, you can correct your clothes; if you use people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses; if you use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs.
Napoleon lived in a very special era. Feudalism had just been overthrown by the bourgeois revolution, and he was in a very turbulent period of change. It was very similar to this era, and as an emperor, his life had a very good educational significance for Arthur.
There is no Napoleon in this world, so naturally there is no such book. This was reproduced by Char based on his own memory.
Fortunately, he has magic, so it is not difficult to convert the memories in his mind into words.
Alicia came over from one side and sat where Arthur was sitting before.
"The kid looks excited."
"That's what children of this age are like," said Xia Ya. "Full of curiosity about the world and a thirst for knowledge."
Alicia sat under the big rock where Arthur had been sitting before. The sky in early spring in Scotland was getting dark quickly.
The early spring twilight freezes on the white sandy beach with countless broken shells sandwiched between it. The fine sand is soft and the grass is luxuriant, stretching for miles along the Atlantic coast.
The mountains six miles to the northeast are rugged and rugged. Against the dusk, only the blue outline can be seen at the end of the sky.
The sea breeze blew her hair lightly.
"That child," Alicia said after a moment of silence, "is destiny, right?"
Xia Ya raised his eyes and looked at her in surprise.
"I'm not stupid."
Alicia reached out and swept a stray hair behind her ear.
“You don’t adopt a child for no reason.
Arthur said that you gave him his current name.
At first, I didn't find it strange, because there are so many names in Britannia.
But yesterday, the angel inserted the sword in the stone to choose the king.
You have known this for a long time, and when you think of Arthur's name, it is difficult not to notice the connection.
What you said to Arthur that night when the West Asian Empire bombed Eagle Point Town was also very suggestive.
You say he has the ability and the opportunity to change the world.
If he can really become the emperor of Britannia in the future.
Then maybe he really can. "
Xia Ya stared into Alicia's eyes. After a moment, he closed his eyelids slightly and said with a smile.
"It's because you're so smart that you're so charming."
Alicia was obviously not a woman who would be fascinated by a word of love or two, she continued.
"So, it's really Arthur?"
"I will not define his future life." Xia Ya said, "But if you are talking about the person who is most likely to pull out the sword.
That was indeed Arthur.
Of course, the premise is that in the future, his heart is pure enough. "
"I'm just asking who can afford a peninsula as big as yours." Alicia whispered softly, "You told Isabel that the monarch who appeared in the future would be from the royal family.
So, it makes sense that it was the royal family who gave you the peninsula. "
"His last name is indeed Britannia," Char said.
Alicia fell into deep thought, "Who is his father, Duke Harris? Duke Bonnard? Or... the illegitimate son of Prince Victor?"
"Why can't it be Moria Britannia?" Char said with interest.
Alicia shook her head without hesitation and said, "No way, my brother has already..."
At this point, she suddenly froze.
The day Arthur came seemed to be the day her father died.
Speaking of which, her mother was indeed pregnant before her death more than ten years ago.
But the message her father gave her at that time was that the child in her belly also died with her mother.
But if he were still alive, he seemed to be about the same age.
Everything seems to be connected perfectly.
"So, that place was given to you by my father." Alicia whispered softly, "Arthur, is my biological brother."
Alicia raised her eyes to look at Xia Ya. He didn't speak, but his eyes answered everything.
She lowered her head and murmured, "If this is the case, he is the most legitimate heir to Britannia, bar none."
Alicia raised her eyes and looked at Xia, "If I never guess Arthur's identity, when are you going to tell me about it?"
"Knowing fate is not a good thing." Xia Ya whispered softly, "Fate is not malicious, but it is not kind either."
Alicia frowned slightly, "Arthur's future ending is not very good, right?"
"It depends on his own choice." Xia Ya said, "Everything is not absolute, even fate."
"You said something similar to me before," Alicia said.
After a pause, she lowered her head and continued, "When I was blind, I never thought I could escape that prison and have the life I have now."
She raised her eyes and stared at Xia Ya, her eyes flickering, "What about our ending?"
Xia Ya closed her eyelids slightly, raised her cheeks slightly, and smiled, "What kind of ending do you want?"
"If I could, I would never want to see the end." Alicia said.
She stood up, came to sit next to Xia Ya, hugged his arm under Xia Ya's unexpected look, leaned on his shoulder, and looked at the waves in the distance with quiet eyes.
The setting sun has been swallowed up by the sea, but the twilight of dusk is still providing some light. The sea ebbs and flows, washing over Duanya. The sea breeze blows on the face, carrying a bit of the breath of the sea, and the hair is flying in the wind.
She slowly closed her eyes, breathed in the air mixed with Char's breath, and said calmly.
"That's good. That's it.
It would be best if it could continue like this. "
Xia Ya was also looking at the sea. He tilted his head towards Alicia and brushed his ears against her hair.
His eyes were a little deep, and the scene he saw on the Destiny Tree came to his mind.
"I will." He whispered.
Gradually, the sky was completely darkened, the moonlight was shining down, the waves hitting the seashore gradually eased, and Xia Ya also heard the slow breathing of the man beside him.
He turned his head, Alicia closed her eyes, her breathing was steady and quiet, and she fell asleep.
After about a few minutes, Xia carefully picked her up with both hands and walked towards the castle. The magic power was supporting her neck to make her as comfortable as possible.
"What's up with her?"
Seeing Xia walking in from the door with Alicia in her arms, Isabel got off the sofa and asked with concern.
"She fell asleep."
Xia looked at Alicia's face and said very quietly.
"She probably hasn't had much rest these days. She thinks about too many things, and she doesn't feel safe."
Isabel tilted her head strangely and lowered her voice, "You still don't feel safe here?"
Char looked at Alicia quietly.
“Things that are too beautiful will make people feel too dreamy, like castles in the air, ethereal and uncertain.
It's natural to feel uneasy. "
Isabel nodded, "That's how she is. She doesn't seem to talk much, but she thinks more than anyone else."
Xia Ya didn't speak anymore, just continued to hold Alicia into her room, then slowly put her on her bed, and then slowly took out her hand.
First the hand holding the crook of the leg, and then the right hand holding the neck and shoulder. Be extra careful here, because one mistake may wake her up.
This made it difficult for Xia Ya to get closer to her, and his eyes subconsciously swept over her body.
Although the environment was dim, Xia Ya could see clearly.
Her shoulders, her pale thin neck, and her pursed lips made people want to caress them with their fingertips.
Her facial features are very superior, and Xia Ya uses her appearance as a template to pretend to be an angel. Everyone thinks that is what an angel should look like.
However, Xia Ya felt that her beauty did not lie in her appearance, but in her unique temperament, as if her soul had settled at her feet like a weeping willow, calm and elegant.
Another example is a small piece of grass. Underneath the weak appearance, there is a heart that is stronger than anyone else.
At this moment, he finally took his hand out from under her neck, but just as he was about to leave, Alicia opened her eyes and looked at him quietly.
Xia Ya smiled and whispered, "When did you wake up?"
"Before you bring me in," Alicia said softly, "but I want you to hold me for a little longer."
"You were just looking at me, weren't you?" she said.
"Yeah." Xia Ya said.
"Do I look good?" she asked.
"You are very beautiful, more beautiful than any woman I have ever seen." Xia Ya said honestly, "You are like the heroine in the story."
Alicia said with a smile.
"But you seemed completely uninterested in me before."
"I just want to take it slow." Xia Ya said quietly, "We have a long time to enjoy everything, slow down the pace, and every step will be worth remembering."
"But..." Alicia paused for a moment, her eyes bright in the dark night, "I'm a little anxious."
Xia Ya's eyes communicated wordlessly with hers, and his mouth opened unconsciously. He seemed to want to say something, but couldn't.
The gate of the castle was still on the Isle of Skye, the sun had completely set, and the door was blown shut by the wind at some point. The light from Calcifer's fire could not come in, and it was pitch black inside.
Alicia's lips were slightly opened unconsciously, and her cheeks were flushed.
"I can't see you clearly," she said.
Then, under Char's gaze, she reached out her hand and touched his cheek.
Char remained motionless as her hands read his features.
She had a slight smile on her face, and Xia Ya looked at her slightly parted lips, which seemed to be whispering silently.
He felt Alicia caressing his cheek, his hair, his eyelids... She put her hands on his lips, silently traced them with her index finger, and then touched them again with her ring finger.
Her hands smelled like cinnamon.
Xia Ya swallowed. For some reason, he felt that the amount of saliva in his mouth was increasing.
Alicia put her arms around Char's neck and touched his lips with strength.
Xia Ya leaned forward slightly so that her head could be placed on the bed, which would make her more comfortable. His breathing was not as stable as before.
After a long time, Alicia leaned against her neck and breathed in the smell in the air greedily.
"You smell so good, Char."
"That should be the dream demon's breath." Xia Ya said.
"What is that?" Alicia asked casually.
But Char didn't answer. Alicia gently rubbed his hair with her ear and whispered in his ear.
"Xia Ya, I feel a little uncomfortable.
I want more, but...I don't know how.
Please teach me, okay? "
Xia Ya only felt his head buzzing and exploded, and a warm current began to flow through his body. He could clearly hear his heartbeat, and his steady breathing became a little faster.
At this moment, he was clearly aware of his naivety.
Why take your time?
The moment he got the heart, he was destined to be no match for her.
"Isabel, where are Char and Alicia?"
Outside the living room, Arthur, who was a little hungry, ran down from upstairs and asked doubtfully.
Isabel looked at Alicia's room. The two of them had been in it for a long time, but they didn't make a sound.
This is actually very strange, because the entire villa is made of wood and the sound insulation effect is very average, so if they talk inside, there will be more or less voices coming out.
But now it was so silent that one could not help but suspect that they were not actually inside at all.
"They must have something going on." Isabel said, "Are you hungry?"
"It's okay, I'll just eat some bread." Arthur said.
As he said that, he took out some bread from the sideboard and ran to the stairs back upstairs.
He was very fascinated by the biography that Xia Ya gave him, and now he just wanted to read the follow-up content quickly.
Isabel tilted her head in confusion.
She didn't know what was going on, but she felt that there was something strange about everyone today.
