Because she was just taking a carriage ride, she still wore a conservative long-sleeved black silk skirt, with no extra accessories on her body, only wearing a pair of black drop earrings, making her look not too youthful and more steady.

  The luggage was carried by Eber and put into the car, Cynthia had breakfast, and another wooden box of snacks was stuffed into her hands. "A day's journey, if you're not used to eating, you can eat this."

  Cynthia's eyes were a little red, she saw her mother's shadow on Joe.

  Unfortunately, three thousand years later, her mother died in childbirth after giving birth to her.

  "Oh, by the way, I see you left a book in the room." Joe took out the Dark Ditty from behind his back and placed it on her wooden box as well, "It means a lot to you."

  Cynthia certainly knew what it meant, wasn't it just about being a good slave to the dog leg rules? She still deliberately fell behind in the room, and this was even taken out.

  She gritted her teeth and thanked him before taking it and turning back to get on the car.

  Not long after waiting in the carriage, Kael came out of the front hall with empty hands and wearing only a simple black robe.

  Just then, the clouds and fog dispersed, and the sunlight shone on his delicate and fair skin, creating a faint halo.

  His black short hair was stuck to his scalp, and he also combed all the extra hair back into place, revealing a perfect face, with red eyes gazing indifferently at the carriage as he walked elegantly.

  Cynthia gazed at him quietly, her heart accelerating uncontrollably again.

  If she could really sleep with him before leaving, it would be a huge profit.

  A face like this is hard to resist.

  Cynthia lowered her eyes and hid her thoughts, and when she raised them again, she wore an enchanted expression.

  "Kaius!" She waved at him excitedly.

  She expressed full excitement for this trip for two.

  Kairos sat down on the soft cushion opposite her, Cynthia looked curiously at his hands wearing a pair of black gloves, "Why aren't you carrying your luggage?"

  "We don't need that kind of trouble."

  Cynthia: You might as well say I'm a burden directly.

  She hummed in agreement, not wanting to make a fool of herself.

  The carriage door was closed by Joe, and this unmanned horse-drawn vehicle drove out of the castle gate.

  As she passed by the vacant lot where Cynthia had last seen the green liquid, she opened the window of the carriage and stuck her head out to take a look, but unfortunately, there was nothing to be seen.

  She always looked out of the window with a look of wonder, this behavior continued until she left the city and stepped onto the country road, becoming more and more intense.

  Caius couldn't understand why Cynthia was so absorbed in observing the countryside road, which only had fields and woods outside, but he didn't interrupt her, quietly gazing at her smiling profile.

  He suddenly reached out to touch his heart, lowered his eyelids, and the sunlight spilled onto his eyelids. Cynthia turned around just in time to see this scene, and she was stunned.

  The one with invisible red eyes, the one kissed by sunlight, is truly the holy god of light.

  The carriage passed over a stretch of gravel road and began to jolt somewhat, Cynthia came back to herself and called out to him, "Kaius."

  Kaius immediately dropped his hand, raised his eyes and hid his emotions.

  "Do you know," Cynthia let the wind blowing in from the window blow her hair, and let the scorching sun shine on one side of her face.

  She leaned against the window frame, gesturing with her hands to form a rectangular shape. "You just sitting there is beautiful like an oil painting, every move, every frame, enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat."

  Her face was beaming with a smile, pure joy.

  Caius didn't say a word, just looked at her with warm eyes and a straight mouth that curved up in pleasure.

  Cynthia was no longer looking at the outside scenery, she closed the window and sat down beside him, holding that dark hymn in her hands, after the carriage stabilized again, she began to flip through it.

  "Kairos, how can I become a saint and make a contract with you?" Her finger tapped on some of the words in the book. "It also says here that I have to unconditionally fulfill all your commands, am I going to be controlled by you like a puppet on strings later on?"

  "That technique is not worth using on you."

  Every time the topic of talent came up, Caius would become very disgusted.

  "I used to be a very formidable holy maiden too, you know!" Cynthia emphasized through gritted teeth.

  "Is it?" He glanced at her sideways.

  Cynthia's body trembled, and this piercing gaze made her back feel cold all of a sudden.

  "Of course." She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, her tone weakening.

  "You have only a hundred years of life, don't think too much."

  He spoke in a flat tone.

  And this can also make Cynthia understand that he probably only made a contract with this body, after all, she died 100 years later.

  Her tense body relaxed, but she didn't see Kael's eyes gradually turning cold.

  The journey was really long, and reading was also a great way to fall asleep. Cynthia closed her eyes and leaned against the corner of the car, falling asleep.

  The horse carriage left the city and didn't arrive at a small village on the outskirts of the forest until night.

  Cynthia opened her eyes and woke up just as the horse carriage entered the village.

  She lazily yawned and turned her head towards Kaelus.

  In the dark car without a single ray of light, his eyes were the most striking, staring at Cynthia with empty and hollow eyes that couldn't see the pupils, like a fierce ghost.

  "Where will we stay tonight?" she asked softly.

  House.

  She knew it was from the house, what she wanted to ask was whether it was from the post station or those farmhouses.

  Cynthia found Kael's expression very cold and didn't know what she had done to anger him again, so she didn't dare ask any more questions and just waited for the carriage to stop.

  She turned her face towards the window, and it was already completely dark outside, while the air in the countryside was exceptionally good.

  For the village, tonight is special, the arrival of nightfall makes this quiet place unusually lively.

  There were many carriages like Kais's, but there were even more horses tied to tree stumps with ropes.

  It seems that students from urban areas are resting here tonight.

  There were many people gathered around a bonfire, eating game and singing and dancing, but the arrival of their carriage was like a warning signal.

  The once-thriving village was like a paused button, entering a state of panic.

  Whether playing or eating, everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing at the same time.

  As the carriage drew up, the gentleman kneeled on one knee and the lady curtsied.

  "Lord Kaylus."

  "Lord Kaylus."

  The sound of asking after each other's well-being continued until there was no one in front anymore.

  They each have a unique temperament, and several of them even have black hair, looking like they were carefully cultivated by the college.

  There is still a chapter of sleep wake up, can't hold on anymore, the manuscript that was rushed overnight has almost broken fingers. If there are any problems, just respond in the group, whether it's a plot or fluency issue ~
