Chapter 117 Returning Students
At midnight, Crodia woke up from her sleep with a rare darkness outside the window, but tonight it was even darker than usual. Although the window was open, there was no wind in it, and a trace of anxiety still lingered in Crodia's heart.
After the demons came to the palace, it rained heavily for several consecutive nights, but it still failed to clean up the sky. Instead, the dark clouds became thicker and thicker, making people breathless.
The comrades were still searching for the whereabouts of the students, but there was still no news.
The situation in the palace is not optimistic. On the third day after the demons, news of the deterioration of the king's condition spread throughout the palace. Although the royal family intended to conceal, some gossips were still spread. The queen immediately ordered no one to tell the matter. What's even more troublesome is that the princes' wedding is approaching, just the day after tomorrow. Now this matter is an open secret. If anyone really plans to do something at this time, it will be very troublesome.
"If it becomes a war, it will be terrible. If the war does not end, no one can escape from here." Crodia couldn't help but think in the worst direction. For a moment, he had the idea of running away, but soon he abandoned this not-so-shamed idea. Although he did not have the obligation to stay here forever, the children still had no news, at least they had to wait until they were sure they were safe and sound.
"Dongdong." Someone was knocking on the door gently, hurried and short.
"Come in." The voice popped out of Crodia's throat unconsciously, as if it was accustomed to it.
In the darkness, I could vaguely see the door being pushed open and closed. A figure moved gently and came to Crodia's bed. Crodia sat up. The man leaned over and approached Crodia, whispering a few words, and the air frozen for a moment.
After a while, Crodia waved his hand, and the figure paused, and then moved towards the door. The door opened and closed again, and the "click" sound of the door lock being brought, it was as quiet as if nothing had happened.
Until dawn, Crodia did not fall asleep again.
The news brought back by the comrades can be said to be gratifying. Not long ago, while they were searching in the forest, someone met the remaining students. As expected, they would arrive in the capital this morning.
However, Crodia was not very happy. It would be fine if she was just an ordinary student. Although it was cruel, at least some things were not to be told to them. However, there were nobles and even royal families among them. Even if he did not need to interfere in these matters, he could not keep the fire in his paper, and what was about to happen in this country would sooner or later be known.
"But it's also interesting to see what things will turn out." Crodia's thoughts came out of his mind without any signs, which surprised him. Could it be that there have been too many things recently and his spirits have become a little abnormal?
Crodia slapped his forehead suddenly, sobering himself a little, and then he pulled his body, which was still a little tired, to get up and wash.
After breakfast, the time was almost over. Crodia just went to greet the students with the teachers. His comrade had already notified the teachers of the whereabouts of the students as he asked, and then passed them to the queen and the ears. So at the order of the queen, the hundreds of honor guards who followed the teachers and many military personnel really attracted the attention of the people. Of course, the queen also went there in person. Although the princess who went there was not her own flesh and blood, as the mother of a country, if she did not go there in person, it would probably cause dissatisfaction.
The nobles who had children involved in the operation also sent servants to greet them. For a moment, the main streets in the city were squeezed out.
When the students appeared, the noise that broke out in an instant scared the young people, but soon they realized what was going on and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the leader asked for disbandment, the local students searched for their families in the crowd and immediately threw themselves into their arms and told the hardships of these days.
The rest had to go to their teachers separately. When they saw their teachers walking far away, they finally had a smile on their faces.
However, this scene that should have been happy still could not wipe away the tears. Those who heard about the death of their children vented their sadness on the spot.
Some people fainted on the spot and were carried by someone, crossed the streets and returned home.
When you pass through those nameless paths, you may either attract people's pity or those whispers that cannot be heard clearly.
"Mingjia, you must come back safely." The noisy sounds on the roadside disturbed the women who did not go to the street with others in a nearby room, and despite this, she still focused on her energy and thought so as much as possible.
No one heard her violent coughing lying on the bed. Even the neighbors who usually take care of her didn't know where she was. All she could do at this moment was praying for her son to return safely.
She looked at the narrow street and the sky between the window, which seemed to be darker than usual.
