"Please enjoy." The maid placed the wine on the square table and looked at the three of them strangely. "If you need more wine, just pull the rope by the door. [Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Talk △ Net w

"Got it. You can go." Otto waved his hand. The latter bowed and left. As the door closed, the noise in the hall was blocked out, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Until now, he still felt his heart beating fast. He stared at Andrea without blinking, afraid that she would suddenly disappear. "I thought it was a dream. Belinda and Oro thought you were dead. I didn't expect to see you again one day..."
After he couldn't help but shout in the market, the other party also shifted her gaze to him. The fact that she could react to this name proved that she didn't just happen to look like him.
No, it should be said that they could not be two people. Andrea's voice and appearance were so outstanding, and her every move had a unique temperament. It was difficult for other women to compare.
However, Andrea's reaction was not as surprised as he expected. Instead, she frowned, walked to him, and ordered him to follow her. Then, she hurried out of the market.
She probably did not want to attract too many people. Yes, nobles should not shout in a place where commoners gathered. He was too impolite.
He followed the two of them into a private room in a tavern, and only then did he have the chance to carefully look at her again. It had been five years, but she still looked the same as he remembered. If this was a dream, he hoped that it would last longer.
"Is this your old lover?" The black-haired woman whistled.
"Since you insisted on coming, you should know the value of silence." Andrea glared at her. "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak."
"I'm doing this to protect you." Roland grinned. "Besides, you forced me to buy Tilly's birthday present at first, and now you want to drive me away. Isn't that too unbecoming of a noble?"
"Aristocratic demeanor depends on who you're talking to," Andrea snorted. "It's not necessary for you."
"This is …" Ao Tuo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he didn't get a response. He could only look at the black-haired woman with an equally outstanding appearance. "Your friend?"
"Ashes." Before Andrea could speak, she said directly, "Who are you, and why do you know her?"
"I'm Ottolosi from the Kingdom of Dawn." He was slightly surprised by the question. This woman who called herself Ashes was too blunt and sharp. She did not seem to be a well-educated nobleman. Why would Andrea hang out with such a person? "I've known Andrea, my sister Belinda, Oro of the Tokat family, and the eldest son of the King of Dawn, His Highness Appen. We're friends who talk about everything."
"It sounds like a story about a group of powerful people." Ashes shrugged. "Did you just say she's dead?"
"That's because —"
"Enough," Andrea interrupted. "Belinda and Oro are right. The lady of the Quinn family you're familiar with is dead."
"But you're still here." Ao Tuo shook his head repeatedly. "What happened at that time?"
In the City of Glow, the capital of the Kingdom of Dawn, apart from the royal family, the most prominent nobles were the Tokat, Quinn, and Luoxi families. The heads of these families were the king's most trusted companions and ministers with real power. This tradition had been passed down since the capital of the Kingdom of Dawn was established, and it was still the same in this generation.
Andrea was the eldest daughter of the Quinn family. She was impeccable in both appearance and family background. She had countless suitors, including Otto and Oro.
However, no one expected that during a spring outing, Andrea's carriage would suddenly go out of control and fall into the mountains. This accident even alerted the king. The royal family, together with the three families, searched for a long time before they found her mutilated body at the foot of the mountain.
After learning the result, Ao Tuo felt sad for a long time. Compared to Oro, who had already started to pursue her, he had not had the chance to tell her his feelings. He had thought that he would never have this chance again. He did not expect to meet her again in this foreign land.
After a long time, Andrea sighed softly. "It wasn't an accident."
"Wh... what?"
"The carriage went out of control and fell into the mountains five years ago. It was all planned by my family." She said in a low voice. "My father discovered my identity as a witch."
Ao Tuo was stunned. "A witch?"
"It seems that you hid it well." Ashes covered her mouth and said, "You can even hide it from your childhood friends."
Andrea ignored her. "That's right. After my father learned about it, he immediately arranged for the accident. I wasn't the one in the carriage. Instead, the coachman and the maidservant died. After that, he sent me out of the Kingdom of Dawn and finally lived in seclusion in the Broken Cliff City of Graycastle. " She paused. "In fact, he never asked for my opinion, nor did he care about my opinion. All he did was to get rid of me as soon as possible."
"So that's what happened..." Otto fell silent. The "Flower of Glow", who was deeply loved by the people, had turned out to be a witch. If this news got out, it would probably cause a serious blow to the Quinn Family. However, the act of faking the accident was also to protect Andrea's safety. As a well-informed upper-class noble, he had heard more than once about the miserable treatment of witches who fell into the hands of the church.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke his mind, but was interrupted by Andrea's sneer.
"Protect? As long as my father doesn't hand me over, what can the church do? Bring the Judgement Army into the inner city to arrest me? " Andrea raised her voice. "He's the Prime Minister of the King of Dawn and controls the outer city patrol, but he did nothing. Miss Nana's father was originally just a baron, but for the sake of his daughter, he rushed into the Lord's castle and argued with His Royal Highness face to face. But he only drove me out of my home, is this also protection? "
Ao Tuo was speechless. After a long silence, he asked hesitantly, "Will you... go back?"
"That day won't come." Andrea stood up. "As I said, the eldest daughter of the Quinn Family died five years ago. That's what my father wants to see."
"Oro goes to your grave every year to lay flowers. He still can't forget you."
She walked to the door and whispered, "That's just his wishful thinking. He'll forget you one day."
Watching the two disappear from the room, Ao Tuo lay on the bench powerlessly.
He somewhat hated his cowardice.
Even now, he was still bringing up Oro instead of expressing his true feelings.
"I can't forget you either."
He closed his eyes.
