Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Fifth Helpless

Vera is wearing a nun's attire, but her attire is slightly different from that of ordinary nuns. Ribbons embroidered with gold thread hang down on the shoulders, and a cross pattern dotted with gemstones is on the chest to mark her status as a saint. This is her unique symbol. Vera walked into the study room without a trace of fireworks. The black and white nun's clothing was worn on her body, revealing an indescribable purity.

The strong impression created by the black hair and snowy muscles made Gilles forget to breathe for a moment. And those deep eyes are enough to make him sink willingly. If it weren't for the presence of Edward and Graal at the scene, Giles would have been unable to restrain himself and rushed forward to kiss Fangze.

He took a deep breath, pressed himself on the seat with strong self-control, and said, "Miss Vera really has an extraordinary temperament. Just looking at the lady, you can tell that Sir Edward's words are true."

"Good afternoon, Earl Giles." Vera raised the corner of her robe and bowed slightly, which was regarded as a salute.

Edward coughed dryly and said, "Miss Vera, please make a prediction for Earl Giles. It doesn't need to be too far into the future, as long as something is confirmed, Miss Vera should know how to do it."

Vera nodded, and she took a step forward and said, "Please look into my eyes, Earl."

Giles stood up. He was much taller than Vera. In order to equalize the height of the two, he had to lean forward, so he turned his face across half of the table and stared at Vera blankly. Seeing from such a close distance, Vera was almost invisible in his eyes, and even the fine hairs on her face could be clearly seen. So when Vera breathes, the constriction and expansion of the nostrils also appear so charming.

Only then did the young earl realize that the deep light in Vera's eyes was slowly turning. And on the back of her hand hidden in her sleeve, the engraving called the Eye of Destiny was quietly glowing faint purple light. The light in Vera's eyes was like a vortex, as if even the soul would be absorbed into it. After staring for a while, Giles felt dizzy. He shook his body and quickly supported it with two arms.

Fortunately, Vera's prediction was over, and the light in her eyes calmed down, allowing Giles to breathe a sigh of relief.

At least he didn't make a fool of himself in front of the beautiful woman. thought Gilles.

"How is it, Miss Vera?" Edward asked softly.

Vera reached out, gently held Gilles' cheek, and then slid all the way down. Passing over his slightly thin shoulder and arm, not a strong arm, until the palm of his right hand: "Tomorrow, my lord earl, you must be careful about something."

"what?"

Vera stretched her neck and whispered something in Gilles' ear,

Then I shrank back: "My work is done. Then there is nothing else, I will leave first."

She has always spoken directly and will not beat around the bush. Edward saw a bit of reluctance in Gilles' eyes, and immediately smoothed things over for her: "Every time Miss Vera peers into the future, it will consume a lot of her energy. And the more important the status, the more variables involved in them. The more you have, the more blurred the picture of the future will be. In order to see your future clearly, Earl, Miss Vera has consumed more energy than usual. Is that so, Miss?"

Vera just said "hmm", and Giles hurriedly said, "Housekeeper Mace, please take Miss Vera down to rest."

Edward also said goodbye: "The earl has taken up too much time today. I am very grateful to Mr. Giles for taking the precious time to receive us. Then, I will not bother."

Gilles nodded absently, and Edward left with Vera. After they left, Graal closed the door and said loudly: "Your Earl, look at this Sir Edward. It is unforgivable for this arrogant person to ignore your kindness. In my opinion... Your Honor , Lord Earl?"

Grall suddenly noticed that Giles was sitting there motionless as if out of his body. He shouted twice before the young earl realized it. Graal wanted to say more, but Gilles shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired today, Uncle Graal, go back first, I'll discuss with you later."

Graal took a step forward, but Giles' eyes suddenly became severe. He could only sigh, take his leave and leave. Walking out of the study, Graal said bitterly: "Damn Alan, where did you find such a **** saint, and even fascinated that stinky boy Gilles. This kid is really ugly, isn't it just a woman?" Well, I've been dazzled already. Stupid! Stupid!"

After cursing a few times, Graal turned to another branch of the corridor. On the other side of the corridor, Edward smiled slightly, but heard Graal's words. Vera next to him gently pulled off his sleeve and said, "That Gilles is not a good person. I saw a scene of him being unbearable. In short, he is not a good person."

"It seems that you have read a lot, Miss Vera." Edward laughed.

"He's just a mediocre man. His fate is very straightforward. This kind of future is too easy to peek into. He's not like him..." Vera stopped suddenly when she said this.

Edward frowned and said, "Are you referring to Allen? From him, what kind of future do you see?"

"His fate line is much more tortuous, which is not so easy to see. The only ones that are near are the paintings I gave him. As for the far ones, I have peeked at them. But what I see is only a piece of eternal burning. I didn't know it before, but now I know that it is the power of fate, which prevents me from seeing Alan's future clearly." Vera said flatly.

"The future that can't be seen through, how many variables will it be full of? I am more and more interested in this young master now." Edward laughed.

Vera suddenly looked at him, and the dark light in the depths of her eyes began to turn. Edward hurriedly said: "Stop, don't peep into my future. Don't worry, I have no malice towards Allen, I am just interested in it."

"It's better like this." Vera suddenly looked forward: "Someone is waiting for you."

"Who?"

While saying this, the two of them turned around the corridor, and saw a black-haired woman leaning against the window, looking out of the castle. Hearing footsteps, she turned her head, looked at Edward uncertainly and said, "Are you Edward, Sir Edward?"

"you are?"

"My name is Ruola."

Vera said softly: "I'll go first."

Then left alone, Edward shrugged, stepped forward and bowed: "I heard Lord Alan mention you, the beautiful Miss Ruola. As a woman, your courage to fight on the front line of the war is admirable. If there is anyone in this castle worthy of my respect, Miss Ruola must be one of them."

Ruola shook her head and smiled, "You can talk more than Alan. What about him, why didn't he come back?"

"Master Allen suddenly received an urgent message from the family, asking him to go back immediately. That's why he asked me to come here as soon as possible so that he can manage the territory on his behalf."

Ruola nodded and said, "Will you walk with me?"

"my pleasure."

The two walked out of the room and came to a garden full of flowers and plants. Ruola was silent all the way, and Edward didn't bother her, just walked quietly with her. Looking at the plants and trees in the garden, Ruo La suddenly said, "Since you are valued by him, you must know him very well. Sir Edward, can you tell me what kind of person Alan is."

Edward smiled wryly in his heart, and thought to himself, Alan, you kid didn't tell me that the noble lady in front of me has fallen in love with you. It's good now, I have to clean up your mess. On the surface, he said politely: "Master Allen is also a person worthy of my respect. He cherishes his wings very much and does things fairly. It is my honor to be able to work under him."

Ruola got angry and said angrily: "Stop fooling me with such scenes, I want to know what kind of person he is in private. Is he... already married?"

"Well, not really." Edward smiled wryly.

"But I know that there is a girl named Lucy next to him. She is..."

"You mean Her Royal Highness Lucy? She is Lord Allen's life-and-death friend, and their friendship... is very deep."

"Your highness? You said that Lucy is a highness, where is your highness?"

Edward felt quite a headache. Needless to say, if Laura got to the bottom of this issue, what was it if she didn't have a deep love for Allen? He gritted his teeth, and could only say: "Of course not His Royal Highness of the Empire, Miss Lucy is from a foreign country. She and Mrs. Allen were completely a chance encounter, but in that chance encounter, they developed a friendship beyond friends. "

"It turns out that she is a princess. Of course, her status is much more noble than mine. No wonder..." Ruo La bit her lip, feeling a little self-pitying.

Edward said helplessly: "Master Allen once told me that Miss Ruola is his most important friend in Ark Port. He asked me to take care of her. If Miss encounters any problems, please feel free to come to me. If you can't solve it for Miss , Master Allen will definitely blame me when he comes back."

"Friend. So I'm just an important friend." Ruola whispered, then nodded and said, "I understand, but there should be nothing to bother you. Well, I have delayed your time so much, so I won't take up your precious time anymore. , Sir Edward."

Hearing her tone clearly ordered to evict the guest, Edward nodded and said: "Then I will take my leave, please take care, Miss Ruola."

After Edward left, Jora remained in the garden. She stared blankly at the round flowers and plants, only to feel that the flowers and colors, which usually looked pretty delicate, looked so pale at this moment. With a low sigh, she walked away gradually with a heavy heart in mind. When Edward came to the square, the carriage was ready, Milo and Vera had already boarded the carriage, and Roger was waiting for him to arrive.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Roger ordered the carriage to drive away. In the carriage, Vera suddenly said, "That Ruo La, you'd better keep an eye on her."

"What's wrong?" Edward raised his head.

"Ellen didn't ask you to take care of her more. She will have some troubles soon. Big trouble." Vera said lightly.
