Look at the colorful skyscrapers outside at night and the various vehicles flowing on the city roads.
The cold wind at night calmed Rita's restless heart a little.
"sigh..." She sighed softly and leaned against the railing of the second-floor balcony.
Today she feels the most confused she has ever felt since she was a child.
Covering her chest with her hands, Rita's unintentional words from Durandal kept replaying in her mind.
"Captain?" It had only been a few days since they met, but Rita found that her mind was unconsciously occupied by that man.
After a careful search for an afternoon, Rita was somewhat surprised to find that if they only talked about the importance of feelings.
Even her most reliable comrades, Lady Durandal, and Bishop Otto Apocalypse were relegated to the second tier...
"Could it be that the 'Captain' really has some kind of magic power?" At the same time, she was also very surprised at the way Kiana addressed the man, as she was actually very familiar with it.
she clearly had no impression of that man, even though it was the first time they met.
But whether it is the cooperation in the past few days or the familiarity of calling that captain, this sense of familiarity is real.
she was so familiar with him that she didn't notice anything unusual. It was like a natural extension of her other half who had been with her for many years, and they didn't need to communicate with each other through words...
The atmosphere these days has been in harmony with that familiarity, it's almost abnormal.
A funny and absurd thought came to her mind: 'Could it be that I have some kind of mental illness like Kiana? Have I imagined another world?'
It's like a puzzle that's missing its most important piece, and it's like a hole in her heart that can't be filled no matter what...
Sometimes, the more people pursue perfection, the more likely they are to be like this. As long as there is a small flaw or mistake, they may keep trying to figure it out.
However, at this very moment, they may fall into a certain dead end of thinking, and try hard to find the solution to the problem, eventually forming a vicious circle.
Rita looked up at the luxurious night view in front of her again, and she felt strangely that it was all unreal...
"Rita, why you are here?"
Just when Rita was almost crazy due to her disturbed mind, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.
"Lady Durandal?" Rita turned her head slowly and found that it was Durandal, sweating and wearing a sports suit, who had just finished a night run.
Seeing her deputy captain's look of astonishment and avoiding her gaze, Durandal knew "is there something in your mind?"
"..." The two women just stared at each other in silence, and in the end, Rita was the first to lose.
She gently turned her eyes away, not daring to look directly into Durandal's firm gaze.
"There's nothing that can I hide from you Lady Durandal." She gently stroked her hair behind her ears with her fingers.
"Here, beer." Rita then noticed that Durandal was holding two bottles of ice-cold beer with condensed water droplets in her hands.
"Lady Durandal, it's not good for your health to drink this kind of cold drink right after strenuous exercise." Although she said this.
But Rita opened the beer without hesitation, raised her snow-white neck, and let the slightly bitter liquid flow down her throat into her stomach in big gulps.
Under the influence of the slight alcohol, Rita's cheeks soon turned a charming red. Rita drank half of the bottle in one breath.
"You must be worried about what happened today." Durandal said while looking downstairs.
Rita followed Durandal's gaze and found that it was the captain who was carefully supporting Kiana, and the two of them were walking slowly there.
From the perspective of the two women on the second floor, two heads, one red and one white, were put together, chuckling from time to time.
Kiana leaned her head on the captain's shoulder. Anyone who saw this scene could not help but praise them, saying that they were a really happy couple.
But seeing such a happy scene, Rita felt not only envy but also another emotion inexplicably arising in her heart, and that was... "jealousy"!
Just like the inexplicable feeling of familiarity before, she didn't know where this jealousy came from.
In a trance, even Rita automatically imagined in her mind that it should be herself next to the red-haired figure...
She held her head and wondered why she had such a terrible idea.
Although Rita is nominally a maid, in a specific sense she is more like a high-ranking official, second only to a few people within Schicksal but above ten thousand people.
Standing in this position, she always meets all kinds of people, and in terms of emotions, she has seen many people who treat marriage and love as some kind of commodity.
She has also seen many people who are loyal to love until death, and there are also many who are disgusting. The most representative ones are undoubtedly Bishop Otto and Lady Kallen.
The two were clearly heading in both directions, but for various reasons, they managed to keep playing a romantic comedy for more than 20 years.
It has become the most interesting topic of conversation among the employees at Schicksal headquarters.
And why is she like this today?
You have to know that person is Lady Durandal's biological sister. If Lady Durandal knew that she was jealous of her biological sister and had...different...feelings towards her brother-in-law...
Rita was thinking this at first, but suddenly she heard a sound of metal deforming next to her ear.
Following the sound, Rita was surprised to find that the empty beer bottle in Lord Durandal's hand had been deformed under her strong grip...
Veins bulged in her hands as if she was trying hard to suppress something.
Durandal's other hand was holding the hollow metal railing, which also made a teeth-grinding sound of metal deformation and creaking.
The two people walking downstairs seemed to have seen Rita and Durandal on the roof of the second floor.
He always waved in a friendly manner, and Kiana, who was always a little behind him, also smiled brightly.
She hugged the captain tightly, and it seemed that she wanted to merge herself into the captain's body.
Although Kiana's smile was bright, Rita still saw a hint of mockery in her eyes...
It was as if she was showing off, showing off that she was married? Showing off that she had a child with the person next to her?
"..." Being looked at in this way, Rita's anger began to rise rapidly.
