Chapter 411: Bai Ye's View on Love
"You go out first, let me deal with it here." Seeing Gus who had not yet died, Hailey breathed a sigh of relief and signaled Bai Ye and the others to go outside first.
Bai Ye looked at Hailey, nodded and pulled Medice away from the director's office. Hailey really wanted to deal with him, so she could do it now, and there was no need to delay.
The two walked to the end of the second floor corridor, where there was a large window, which could see the dimly lit night view of the Oakles Castle below through the windowsill.
Bai Ye and Medice lay on the windowsill, looking at the colorful night view below through the glass.
"Just...just... I'm sorry." Bai Ye scratched his head, hoping not to leave any misunderstandings. The few strokes in the cabinet were indeed a bit too much. If he had a bad temper, he might have started to make trouble long ago.
Dim shadows and flashing lights spread in the night. The huge Oakles Castle also subdivided many areas. The outermost wall stands tall, and the rosin torches above illuminate all the roads, like a belt covered with flaming rubies, wrapping the castle around.
There was a fire moving slowly. It was probably the guards of the castle who held a torch and patrolled around. Bai Ye observed the entire castle architecture and used chips to quickly remember and analyze.
From here, you can vaguely see the situation of the royal capital outside the castle. Basically, there is no area in complete darkness. It can be seen that the title of the City of Never Sleep is well deserved.
"Huh--" Medice did not respond to Bai Ye's words, and her red cheeks slowly faded away. Looking at the brightly lit night scene, she said for a long time, "That's my husband."
"Hmm...ah?" Bai Ye was still carefully observing the structure of Oakles Castle, responding casually, and then realizing the inner meaning of Medice's words.
She, her husband?
Bai Ye's eyes showed the hideous and hateful face of the priest. He was probably unwilling to be nailed to death by his own sword. Could it be that he was Medice's husband?
"Hasley, the youngest priest in the church, my fiancé, or husband, can do it. We have already held the wedding under the witness of the pastor, and I was discovered to be a witch on the wedding night." Medice sighed and looked into the distance, "Mr. Baiye, would you like to hear this uninteresting story?"
"Um."
"I was born in a civilian area of the capital. My father was an ordinary craftsman and my mother was a member of the textile union. When I was a child, I was sent to the civilian public school for study. My parents tried their best to cultivate me and become a member of the higher-level capital. Please give me this kind of civilian identity." Medice's eyes flashed, and from his expression, he didn't seem to like that kind of life at all.
"Intrigue and flattery are courses that we must learn. In my study, I only like the vast knowledge in the books. They make me obsessed with it and allow me to forget all this for the time being. Later, I successfully entered the Wangdu Library, which was also fulfilling my parents' long-cherished wish. However, I also encountered a lot of trouble in the Wangdu Library." Medice sighed, "You understand that a woman like me is quite popular with nobles to some extent."
"I'm a little clever, knowing how to observe my expressions and not talking nonsense." Medice said softly with a red face, then looked down at the towering tower on her chest. Thinking of Bai Ye holding it tightly in her hand before, her body felt inexplicably hot. "And it, the nobles approached me, half of it was because of it."
Bai Ye knew this, it was normal. Those nobles would inevitably develop strange sexual fetishes after enjoying themselves for a long time. He even heard of nobles who liked to dress up as women, including himself. Isn’t that the rumors that they had left behind for witches like this?
However, Medice even told herself such a secret matter, and it seemed that the relationship between the two had progressed.
Bai Ye raised his favorability and saw that Medice's favorability for him actually increased from 8 to 15. He vaguely understood how to quickly increase the favorability of the witches.
"Just when I was unable to bear the harassment, my teacher, the library owner, introduced me to a young and handsome, gentle priest. As a single young priest, there are many rumors about indecent relationships with noble ladies and wives in the royal capital, which has a great impact on their promotion to the priesthood."
"So Heisley proposed to you, hoping that you will become his wife? In other words, your marriage is completely different from each other's needs?" Bai Ye understood that Heisley was for his reputation, while Medice needed a good destination, "What about it later?"
"On the wedding night, just when I was about to hand over myself to him, I found that he was carrying a holy lock, and I awakened the witch's ability a long time ago. Because of this, I was able to successfully be selected from countless people to work here." A look of pain appeared on Medice's face. "I love him very much. Before that, even though I knew he had never had any feelings for me, I still loved him very much. It was him who made me come out of my confusion and willing to help me. But when he learned that I was a witch, I... the first time I saw him looking at me with the look of looking at beast."
"In the church, priests are the best-reputed clergy. They are known for being equal to everyone and being kind to everyone. But at that time, he looked at me, not to mention his newlywed wife, even the devil is better than me! He personally sent me to the witch prison without a trace of hesitation. When I was escorted to the prison, I saw my parents in the crowd. There was disappointment, hatred, but no sadness in their eyes. It seemed that after I woke up to become a witch, everything in the past was false."
Every witch has experienced this pain, and it is precisely because of this that they united and agreed to the outside world.
Bai Ye sighed. He listened to Medice's twitching sound, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He had just killed the other party's newlywed husband, although it was unintentional! But now he comforted her now, no matter how he looked, he felt like he was taking advantage of the situation.
He is not the kind of person who takes advantage of the situation.
"Woo... Lord Bai Ye, let you laugh. I just want to tell you, please don't have any burden. Regarding the killing of Hesley." Medice wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a relieved smile, "Now, I know, you are the one who really saved me."
"Uh..." Bai Ye brewed, and then said, "Actually, I don't think your feelings for him are love."
“Eh?”
"It's the one you said just now that you love him very much. Actually, I think about it carefully, that's more of it, you should be grateful. You are very grateful and thank him for helping you, but there is no relationship between you, right? Haven't you ever been in a relationship before?"
"Well, never. But after hearing what you said, it seems that I really feel grateful, but I am willing to be with him and give myself to him. Isn't this love?" Medice's eyes showed a hint of doubt, "What is love?"
