Your Majesty,” Iffy blinked, as if not understand why greatly he will mention this matter suddenly. “是……陛下,”伊菲眨了眨眼,似乎不大明白他为何会突然提起此事。 „Rushes to Greycastle's this batch of witch from Dawn, besides the Taqila survivor who that disguises as the maidservant, other come from Wolf Heart.” “从晨曦赶往灰堡的这批女巫之中,除了那名假扮成侍女的塔其拉幸存者外,其余都来自狼心。” The eye of Iffy one stared round, „Your Majesty, you meant......” 伊菲的眼睛一下瞪圆了,“陛下,您是说……” Roland nodded, „in them has one person to call Anne, moreover similarly had been rejected by Blood Tooth Association.” 罗兰点了点头,“她们中有一人就叫安妮,而且同样被血牙会拒绝过。” She was shocked immediately, crossed some little time muttered, „this and this were real?” 她顿时愣住了,过了好一会才喃喃道,“这、这是真的吗？” On the face of this moment Iffy by no means is joyful, 50% was guilty and worried, perhaps in her, was still blaming itself not to choose and opposite party at that time leaves together. 此刻伊菲的脸上并非全是喜悦,还有一半是愧疚和担忧,恐怕在她心里,仍在怪罪自己当时没有选择和对方一同离开。 Reason that has not planned to give two people a pleasant surprise, stemming from this considered that what feeling-- he acts bashful does not permit Anne also to harbor to Iffy, if when Blood Tooth Association witch that but therefore on bearing a grudge this goes to her, the reunion turns happily gets angry appeared very awkward. 之所以没打算给两人一个惊喜,也是出于这点考虑——他拿捏不准安妮对伊菲又怀着什么样的感受,如果因此而记恨上这位离她而去的血牙会女巫,重逢之喜变成翻脸之时就显得很尴尬了。 „3009,” Roland said. “3009,”罗兰说道。 „What?” “什么？” „3009, her room number,” he exhales the tone, „at least currently speaking, she and your description is very close. Moreover you , to know the answer, oneself looked that didn't know?” “3009,她的房间号,”他呼出口气,“至少从目前来看,她和你的描述十分接近。而且你若想知道答案,自己去看一眼不就知道了吗？” Iffy silent moment, afterward deeply lowers the head to express best wishes to him, „I understood, Your Majesty, thank you!” 伊菲沉默了片刻,随后向他深深低头致意,“我明白了,陛下,谢谢您！” „Goes, sometimes the time can dilute all.” “去吧,时间有时候能冲淡一切。” „Yes!” “是！” Looks at her to run hurriedly the back of reception room, Roland touches the chin. I also can only help you come here, he thinks. 望着她急匆匆跑出会客厅的背影,罗兰摸了摸下巴。我也只能帮你到这儿了,他想。 ******************* ******************* Three 9 rooms, three 9 rooms......

What?” “准备……什么？” Bang! Bang! Bang-- has not waited for her to respond, the little girl has made an effort to beat several shutters, then runs toward Sunset, „remembered, says words then it will be alright that oneself want to say at heart!” 砰！砰！砰——还未等她反应过来,小姑娘已经用力捶了几下门板,接着朝日暮跑去,“记住,说出自己心里想说的话就行了！” „No, waits......” “不,等等……” However already late, after the gate, has resounded the sound of footsteps, in an instant, Iffy felt own whole body is stiff. 然而已经晚了,门后响起了脚步声,刹那间,伊菲感到自己浑身都僵硬起来。 With kā chā one, the door was shoved open, figure big witch appears before her. 随着咔嚓一声,房门被推开了,一名身形高大的女巫出现在她面前。 Opening the door is Anne. 开门的正好是安妮。 She will never forget this facial features. 她永远不会忘记这张面容。 Just likes the blade truncates keen look, the eyebrow corner/horn that on selects slightly, as well as hides under the firm and resolute facial features that cares about soft of companion.

To ask that obviously good, sent the sound not to come, to open the opens the mouth, the eye turned sour inexplicably. 脑海中的片段不断浮现,外壳土崩瓦解,她仿佛又回到了过去,再次变成了那个无助而彷徨的女孩。明明想要问一声好,却怎么也发不声来,张了张口,眼睛莫名发酸起来。 Iffy cannot stop this acid intent eventually, she grasps Anne, first sobs to make noise gently, afterward cries loudly. 伊菲终究没能止住这股酸意,她抱住安妮,先是轻轻抽泣出声,随后放声大哭起来。 „Sorry............

I did not blame you.” 安妮长叹了一口气,伸出双手,轻轻搂住伊菲,“……我不怪你了。” Heard these words, Iffy trembles slightly, cries loudly. 听到这句话,伊菲微微一颤,哭得更大声了。 ...... …… Crossed one hour, her is calm gradually. 过了半个时辰,她的情绪才逐渐稳定下来。 Also when this process, Anne understood the Blood Tooth Association beginning to end, when she knew that chief instigator Morgan Earl died, other witch have also broken away from the control of Blood Tooth Association, in the heart has been twisting the knot stretched finally.
