Jared leaned against the trunk of the tree and watched in silence as Kelly laid out the bodies of the two men and wiped the blood from their faces. According to Kylie, if a person's soul wanted to rest in peace after death, it had to be wiped clean. Although she was still having trouble moving around, she stubbornly demanded that she do everything herself, which made Jared feel a little bit sorry for her. Strictly speaking, he didn't think Kylie was the kind of weak woman who would cry for half a day over a wilted flower, but what she was doing now didn't seem like pity or sadness, but rather like an obligation.
"They ... are all orphans adopted by their father from a friend who passed away..."
Kylie said without looking back as she straightened the elf's clothes, as if the strong smell of blood and the revolting wounds hadn't affected her at all.
"We grew up together, and the two of them have always been behind me, taking care of me. The three of us are like brother and sister.... This Moon Dance Bow and the Sword of the Fire Lizard were gifts I gave them on their birthdays. I used to think that the relationship between the three of us would continue like this. And they love each other this thing I also know, I also once said jokingly, I hope I can preside over their wedding ...."
She said, endeavoring to place the elf's body side by side with the man, and then having each of them hold one hand in each other's, and then stepping back a few paces.
"I never thought I'd be killed by them, but that doesn't mean I have to be."
Kelly's expression was grave.
"I don't know, who exactly is the person who is maneuvering behind their backs ... And, if father-sama knows about this, then they will be very pitiful ..."
"Don't you hate me?"
Jared asked suddenly .
"Maybe I could have saved them, like I could have just wounded them instead of killing them? And then maybe you could find out who's behind them and save them?"
"I'm not the kind of woman who doesn't know better, though I'm sure you won't believe it."
Kelly shook her head bitterly .
"And now that it's over and done with, any possibilities don't exist in front of a cold corpse, do they? Even if I yell at you, it won't change anything. They're stubborn people, and the fact that they're going to kill me even though we have such a strong bond with each other shows that it's futile to stop them. I know them. You don't know them. You don't know our connection. To you, they are just assassins, killers, enemies to be eliminated, and that's all there is to it."
"It's good that you think so."
Jared helplessly shrugged his shoulders, he originally did not intend to kill the elf, but the situation on the battlefield has always been ever-changing, hoping that each opponent will raise their hands to surrender is just a kind of delusion. Especially when Jared realized the madness and indifference to death in the woman's eyes, he had no choice but to do it now to protect himself and Kylie. He thought Kelly would take out her anger on him. But did not think this big lady actually can be so calm ... No, perhaps she must be so calm, if she can not support it, will certainly collapse it.
Kelly watched the two in silence for a moment longer, and then reached out her hand, though her shoulder was still badly bruised and the pain was unmistakable in her expression. But Kelly calmly began to chant the incantation, making each gesture slowly and carefully. It was like a funeral dirge, sad and heavy.
Bright red flames swirled up, quickly enveloping the two bodies in them, the flames growing brighter and hotter as Kylie chanted. The flames grew brighter and hotter as Kylie chanted. The flames swirled and turned into smoke that rose into the sky and then faded away.
Kelly gazed into the flames, made a quiet curtsy, then turned away without a moment's hesitation .
"Jared, can you take me home?"
"Of course there's no problem ..."
Kelly's return home rightly caused a big stir, seriously injured, covered in blood and pale, she was immediately sent to the treatment of the shocked servants, and in the face of the guards of the soldiers on Jared's block, and faintly said: he is my friend, to treat him well, Jared was immediately invited to a good and gorgeous guest room, and was served hot tea and dessert, and then by a number of good-looking maids almost head to toe service - this is enough to show how high the status of the family, and is not just a big lady who only oppresses the others. Then he was waited on from head to toe by a number of very good looking maids - a sign that Kelly was a very high ranking member of the family, and not just an overbearing young lady.
How do I explain this to Caroline when I get back?
Jared was bored and playing with the tea cup in his hand, and at the same time, he thought about these questions with a bitter smile. Even if Caroline knew that she was being served by several maids, she probably wouldn't show any particularly strange expression. But because of this, Jared wanted to see what Caroline's face would look like. He didn't feel much emotion about what happened to Kelly. However, he did gain a lot from this incident, which was a rare correction of his opinion of Kelly. Originally, he thought Kylie was just a bully, self-centered, and uncaring person. But now it seems that apart from her arrogant personality, Kylie is still quite outstanding as a person. The experience in the Forest of the Undead could not be taken as a complete reference, after all, in that kind of harsh environment, even little Tawana would lose her mind and fight for her life, not to mention Kylie. And arrogance is just as normal as every genius having one or two unpopular quirks.
As Jared pondered these thoughts, a large, strong figure walked into the living room, and Jared immediately rose to his feet, for it was none other than Kelly's father.
It's also the man that Jared saw with the false image reconstruction.
"I have heard what happened from my daughter ."
The man spoke, while nodding to Jared, signaling him to sit down.
"Kylie is my most precious daughter, in case something happens, then I really have no way to imagine ... really thank you so much, to be able to save her out. Although I have sent Yufeng them to be responsible for the protection of Kelly's safety, but did not think that they actually will also be killed, although they are only ... hey ..."
At the moment, his face was heavy, a picture of a father who had suffered a blow and was heartbroken. If Caroline was here, she might have been touched by this, but Jared was not the least bit moved by it. He didn't have a father, so naturally he didn't understand what a father's love was, but from the first impression, it was clear that the man at this moment was more in line with a father's and an important minister's image, and he looked more like a competent and successful man than the crazy and disgusting demon that Jared had seen that day through the false image.
"Now that Ms. Kelly is safe, I don't think there's any need for me to stay any longer."
Jared stood up again, for some reason he didn't want to be alone with this man, it just felt awkward.
But Vito came over and took Jared's hand in a firm grip.
"You must stay. How can a father do nothing when you have saved my most cherished daughter? You must stay here, I have ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner for you. And ..."
"I appreciate the offer, but I don't think that's necessary."
Jared frowned slightly, he instinctively wanted to shake off this man with a face of genuine gratitude, and an unspeakable loathing welled up within him . But he did not show anything on the surface, but continued with a somewhat helpless and confused tone." I still have companions left at the academy, I must hurry back immediately, otherwise, they will be angry."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Kelly's voice appeared, she had changed her clothes again, and although she was still pale, her spirits looked much better.
"In the case of Ms. Caroline and Tawana, I've already sent someone to invite them, so there's no need to worry about that. Besides, this is my personal thanks to you, okay?"
It's so boring.
But it's a good time.
Jared rolled his eyes and quickly thought of a way to utilize it.
"Okay."
He shrugged helplessly .
"I grant your request."
"Thanks ..."
Kelly smiled a tired and reassuring smile, while Jared, who had been carefully watching Vito, suddenly realized that in Bryde's loving and helpless sight, there was a quiet flash of well-hidden murderous intent. He hid it so deeply that Jared suspected that what he had just seen was just an illusion. But because of his subjective depth, at this moment Jared, not simply think that it was just an illusion.
There's something wrong with this man.
