Chapter 460 Don't feel guilty
Chapter 460 Don't feel guilty
Arlinhue and Loretta did not enter the manor.
Because they soon saw a noble lady hurriedly coming out. She looked very much like Teacher Musa.
If Musa is a sheathed sword, then this noble lady is a staff. It is made of solid wood, has weight, and will hurt when it hits someone.
Obviously, she is Teacher Musa's mother, Persila.
Loretta took two steps forward involuntarily. Then she stopped, took Yalinxiu's hand and ran to Persila.
Loretta looked at her unkindly.
"You're looking for me? Why are you spying on me?"
When Persilla saw her, her frown relaxed, then she looked coldly and made a gesture to drive her away.
"Where did this unreasonable kid come from? Go away."
"You obviously know me. I'm Loretta, Musa is my mother, and you sent a doctor when I was sick!"
"Now that you know who I am, Loretta, where are your manners? Don't you know how to greet your grandmother when you see her? Is that what Musa taught you?"
Persilla's words were bitter and full of accusations. Her expression was so cold and her eyes were full of mockery.
Loretta felt her head congested. She felt her heart tremble when she heard Musa speak of Persila's betrayal to her in such a flat tone last night.
She could not forgive this kind of hurt. She would rather not come into this world than let Musa get hurt because of it. Because her mother was not strong, her love contained an absolute desire to protect her. If possible, she hoped that she was Musa's mother, so that she would not have "original sin" and she would be the one who gave instead of asking.
But Percilla, she didn't care at all.
Persila didn't care at all about Musa's pain, struggle, humble requests and loneliness of being abandoned.
"You said you were my grandmother, but you never see me. You don't care about me or Musa. I think our relationship is just that of strangers. So I don't need to be polite to you. I am standing here because I found out that you sent a hawk to monitor me. I want to hold you accountable."
"What evidence do you have."
Unexpectedly, Persilla did not react to what Loretta said, nor did she refute it. She just asked Loretta if she had any evidence to prove that those who monitored her were hired by her.
Loretta was stunned.
Yalinxiu, who was beside her, silently handed her an image stone.
In Persilla's deathly gaze, Yalinxiu raised her eyes calmly.
"The image stone recorded the process of the eagles entering this manor. I think, Ms. Persila, this should be able to serve as evidence."
Persilla looked at it with a wry smile.
"A foreign kid? That's really extraordinary."
"Thank you. You too."
"That's not a compliment."
"Yes. I didn't compliment you."
After several confrontations, Yalinxiu's attitude became more gentle.
Loretta was burned with anger and hatred. She hated her mother for being betrayed, hated the betrayer for not having any remorse, hated her grandmother for not loving her at all, hated her grandmother who was supposed to be a family member but was bullying her friends.
She wanted to say something unpleasant to express her disdain, but when she looked at Persila, just as she was about to speak, she was glanced at by the pair of eyes that looked like her mother, and her heart suddenly began to beat fast.
Her hatred turned into sadness.
Why is this happening? They should be the closest relatives linked by blood.
But vicious words often come out at times like this. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Yalinxiu covered her mouth.
Loretta was even more unhappy.
She broke free from Yalinxiu's restraints and whispered to Yalinxiu why she didn't let her speak.
"Because she's your grandmother."
"so what?"
"If she's watching you because she cares about you, then there may be a misunderstanding between her and Teacher Musa. Extreme words will become arrows shot at you in the future.
If she is on the king's side and what you said makes her angry, she will make it even harder for Teacher Musa.
Whatever the situation, you shouldn’t act impulsively.”
"But……"
Loretta bit her lip, and under Yalinxiu's soothing gaze, she tried hard to swallow the curses that were about to come out of her mouth.
Percilla couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could see the hatred in Loretta's eyes.
She spoke with an indescribable indifference and pleasure.
"Musa hates me, right? What did she tell you about me? Am I a bad mother? Am I a betrayer? She told you a lot of bad things about me, so this is how you treat me."
She even smiled at the end.
Loretta never understood why Percilla could laugh. She pursed her lips and paused for a moment before looking up at her.
"Musa never told me about you. I don't know you, I don't know you, she never said anything bad about you, she wouldn't mention you. But you won't understand, she forgives you. No matter what unforgivable thing you did, she forgives you."
…she loves you.
Loretta deliberately ignored this statement.
She felt a subtle jealousy. She vaguely knew that Musa loved Persila deeply, deeply, painfully, and could not get rid of it.
That's something she can't compare to.
"Persilla!"
This roar was accompanied by fear.
It was Valerie who ran over from a distance. She anxiously protected Loretta and Arinxiu behind her and looked at Persilla warily.
"Why are they here? What are you doing!?"
"You should ask them about that."
Valerie paused, then turned to ask Loretta what happened. After learning what happened, she frowned and looked at Percilla.
"Why did you send someone to follow Loretta?"
"Because Musa and you are both stupid. Did you know that these two kids went to eat at a restaurant so far away by themselves? You don't know. You are busy with other more 'great' things, and you can't care about Loretta. You and Musa are both like this."
Persilla was very cold, but the sarcasm in her slightly drooped eyes was so obvious.
Valerie couldn't refute it. At the same time, she realized that Percilla sent someone to follow Loretta out of kindness, so did this mean...
"You care about Loretta, don't you? You hired a doctor when Loretta was sick before, and you have been protecting Loretta today.
Ms. Persila, regarding that incident, could there be some misunderstanding between you and Musa——"
Valerie said this with hope, but Persilla's cold expression made Valerie realize that this was not the case.
Persilla glanced at Valerie with disgust, then she turned around, with her skirt sweeping a neat circle on the ground.
"You are an incompetent babysitter. Take these two children and get out of here. You will kill Musa sooner or later."
Valerie's face instantly lost all color. She stared at Persilla's back and was speechless.
Finally, Loretta held her hand, her voice very low.
"Don't believe her. Go back, Valerie."
Valerie responded hesitantly, and she was in low spirits all the way back to the manor.
Loretta looked at the distracted Valerie and felt listless herself.
Yalinxiu looked at them and said nothing. It felt that the country of Lanier seemed to be filled with a decadent atmosphere, which was only aimed at female eagles. Lanier turned all the female eagles into madmen.
"It's inconsiderate to say this, but could you please leave me in the palace? I want to go see Irene, my parent."
Arinxiu broke the silence and looked directly at Valerie.
"If it's too much trouble, I can go by myself."
Valerie came back to her senses and shook her head.
"No trouble. I'll take you to the palace first, and then I'll take Loretta home. Loretta doesn't like the palace."
Loretta did not refute. She really did not like it. If it was noon, she would insist on going to the palace with Yalinxiu, but now she was exhausted physically and mentally, and she could not go to the palace to deal with those temptations.
"Yalinxiu, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to the palace."
Loretta clenched her hands. She was too ashamed and powerless to look into Yalinxiu's eyes.
Yalinxiu sighed softly.
"It's okay, Loretta."
It does not expect Loretta's company or protection. It and Loretta grew up in different environments. It knows Loretta's situation and the problems she faces very well. It understands the stubborn and sharp part of Loretta's character.
It wouldn't stay at Rainier forever. But it was hard for Loretta to leave Rainier.
If you are not strong enough, resisting the world will only hurt yourself. Learning to keep your heart while adapting is also a kind of resistance, but it is more difficult.
Yalinxiu brushed away the strands of hair from Loretta's eyes and told her slowly.
“Being friends doesn’t mean completely abandoning selfishness.
Loretta, it's not wrong to want to sacrifice your own interests for your friends, but that means that you are sure that you and the other party are making two-way efforts, and your sacrifice can be exchanged for the other party's compromise.
If I were you now, I would not endure the pain and go to the palace. I would make the same choice as you, but I would not feel guilty. "
