Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

He knew that he should tell her who it was that she had just cried and confide in, but he couldn't bear to cause trouble for her any more.Jamie seemed to be in a better mood now, and she was almost happy when she thanked King Ed for getting her ruffles done.She looked up to see her husband standing at the door, and gave him a big smile. Ariel was so happy that she finally stopped crying and returned a big smile.No, he wouldn't reveal the truth now, he'd wait until it was just the two of them and no one would witness her embarrassment. Jamie walked up the stairs, holding the pleats with her hands, until finally she stopped in front of him, bowed her head and said in Gaelic: I love you, Ariel.

I love you too, Jamie. He tried to hold her in his arms, she took a step back and said: No, we still have guests.She reminded him. I have to wait until later to tease you? You heard it all, didn't you? Yes, he said.And you look better now. Your king is a very kind man. He opened his mouth wide in surprise.you always knew If I knew it all along, how dare I keep berating that man for not listening to my story carefully?she whispered.I may be a little dull, Ariel, but I'm not entirely ignorant.I didn't know who he was until I got down on my knees. Ariel started laughing.You can't tell him I know.she whispered.

Why? Because that would hurt his feelings. can you? Jamie nodded.He thinks he's protecting me, Ariel, and we can't let him down. She bowed away, leaving Ariel wondering what to do with her last ridiculous remark, and the king called out to him. Ariel walked back to him.Ed, do you think I should challenge or thank you for forcing me to marry her? Of course you have to thank me, Ed replied.King Henry is the one who should challenge us if he knows what a treasure he is giving away! Ariel and Ed both laughed.But we probably won't have to wait long.Ariel teased.My wife could start war with England in about a week or two, and sometimes I wondered if she was Henry's secret weapon.

Jamie could hear laughter coming from downstairs.I don't know what Aleigh and the king said, and then decided it was probably a joke about the dead Englishwoman. As soon as the bedroom door closed, Jamie almost collapsed on the ground.She recalls bossing King Eddard to listen to her.God, she even cried before the king! But the king understood so well, and Jemi's heart felt warm.King Ed is such a nice guy. Ma'am, what are you doing here alone?Gavin suddenly opened the door and came in. Why can't I be alone?Are you ordered to spy on me again?Jamie was about to get angry again.

No ma’am, there is a cook in the kitchen who is burned and they want me to beg you to take care of her. For the next two hours, Jamie was busy taking care of the scalded woman, and during this period, Gavin stayed with her every step of the way. No matter how Jamie glared at him or sent him away, he just replied with a smile. It was Ariel's order. After taking care of the cook's burns, Jamie expressed that he would lay flowers on Lenna's grave, and Gavin naturally followed. Lena's tomb is not far from the cliff where she fell, and it is a land not blessed by the priests. Jamie asked Gavin.Gavin, were you here when Lenna died?

Yes. Father Mu said she committed suicide by jumping off a cliff?Jamie said. right there.Gavin pointed to a cliff beyond Lenna's tomb. Did anyone see her jump? Gavin nodded.Yes, Jamie. where were you thenYou see Jamie, do we have to talk about this? Jamie knelt in front of Luna's grave, and took away the withered flowers.I just want to understand, Gavin.She whispered: Would you think I was stupid if I said I thought Lenna wanted me to know too? I might.Gavin tried to tone down the atmosphere.Someone put flowers on her grave.He changes the subject. It's me, Jamie replied.It was released the day before yesterday.She didn't speak again, she sprinkled the flower in her hand on the tomb.

Gavin waited until he left the cemetery to ask: Jamie, can you explain why you feel that Lenna wants you to know? That might not make sense, Jamie said.But what about when Mary grows up and wants to know about her mother?How do I tell her? But that's the way it is, and Lenna can't think about it for a while. But have you and Father Mu seen her unhappy?She read the answer from his expression.You don't, do you?And I knew that Lenna was going to take her baby back, which she would never want to do if she was afraid of Aleigh or hated him. Perhaps she thought she had no choice.Gavin said.

Jamie walked to the cliff where Lenna jumped off.It is also possible that she fell accidentally, yes, it may be an accident, why does everyone think she committed suicide? She stopped in front of the cliff and felt a tremor in her upper arm.She rubbed the feeling away with her hands.When I first saw Ariel, I was also afraid of him, but within a day or two, I realized that he was actually a very good person, and from the beginning I knew intuitively that he would take care of me, I am sure Lenna will feel the same way. Gavin nodded.But you must remember that Lena and Aleigh didn't know each other well, and after the wedding, he was called to the battlefield by the king.

Was she killed instantly here?she asked. No, Gavin replied.She fell on the overhang.He said, and pointed to her. When Ariel came home, she had already been dragged up.But her back was broken and no one could save her.She was in a coma for two days before dying in a coma.She went very peacefully, without the slightest pain, Jamie. I think she stumbled and fell.Jamie insisted. We should go back, Jamie.Gavin said, trying to change the subject again.Aleigh must be looking for you, the king is gone The king is gone?Jamie asked in surprise.So fast, I didn't even say goodbye to him. He'll come again, Gavin told her.The king regarded Ariel as his child, and he visited often.

Suddenly, a voice from behind caught Gavin's attention. He turned his head, and a large rock hit his forehead impartially, causing Gavin to fall backwards with his eyes darkened. Jamie turned around when Gavin fell, and another stone hit her forehead, cutting a long gash.She exclaimed, trying to support Gavin who was falling, and desperately prevented him from falling off the cliff.But at the same time another sharp object hit her shoulder again, Jamie cried out in pain, and Gavin was too heavy for her to hold on, Jamie knew they were about to fall.She quickly recalled whether the protruding rock Gavin mentioned was on the right or left?God help me!she whispered, grabbing Gavin's waist and rolling in that direction.

A strange smug laughter came from the cliff as they fell.Jamie grabbed Gavin's head with her elbows, and the small rocks on the hillside pierced her all over, and finally they rolled onto the protruding rocks, Gavin's body bearing most of the weight. The laughter was getting closer, and the blood flowed from the wound on Jemi's forehead, covering her vision.She wiped the blood away with the back of her hand, and pulled Gavin as far as possible above the recessed rock wall, out of sight of their enemies.When Gavin moaned, she immediately put her hands over his mouth. After a long time, she realized that the terrible laughter had stopped, and the cliff had become silent.Jamie's shoulder hurt so badly that she touched it with her hand.A knife hilt was on her arm, and it was the dagger that Jie Mi couldn't find anywhere!Somebody used her dagger on her! ? She heard someone calling her name, but she didn't dare to answer until she was sure of the voice of the person coming.Mark!Here we are, on the boulders below.she shouted, her voice trembling and weak as a result of relief. My God, Jamie, what happened was Marco Dao, he leaned over the cliff and saw Jamie's blood-stained face peeping out to look at him.Give me your hand, madam. Be careful, Marco, don't get so close to the cliff, the person who wants to kill me and Gavin may still be there, look behind you to make sure it's safe. Marco did, and when he turned back to look at her again, the look on his face really startled her.Gavin was injured.She blurted out without shaking his outstretched hand.If I let him go, he might roll off. Marco nodded, he was about to withdraw his hand, but Jie Mi grabbed his hand again suddenly.I want Aleigh, she cried.But I don't want you to leave us, Marco, don't leave us. Marco squeezed her hand tightly.Hold Gavin, Jemi, I won't leave you guys, I'll yell for someone to come. Jamie thought this was the brightest idea she had ever heard, and she told him in incoherent sentences that her heart was full of pain and she couldn't think rationally.Jamie, let go of my hand, I know you trust me. Yeah? He smiled at her tenderly.Because of this, you hold my hand tightly.he said.Now, you must let go of my hand and hug Gavin.His voice was soft and soothing. Yes, she said, trying to understand what he was telling her.Hold on to Gavin, Marco, I'll protect him. She finally let go of his hand.This is a good girl.She heard him say that Jamie held Gavin's head in her lap.Ariel will be here soon, Gavin.Marco will keep us safe during this time.she murmured. Marco's roar shook the pebbles on the cliff, and they rolled all the way down.Jamie closed her eyes, and the whole block seemed to spin around her until her mind did the same.She then lost consciousness. She woke up when she felt someone pulling her hand.She opened her eyes and saw Ariel right in front of her. Ariel.she whispered.She tried to reach out to him, but her arm was too painful to lift.She forced a weak smile, then noticed that she was still on the rock. Ariel's expression was so gloomy that Jamie began to murmur.Don't make me a coffin now, not yet, please Ariel said rudely: I won't, my love. She smiled again.I am so happy to meet you. His hands were shaking.Nice to meet you too. I have dropped my dagger.She frowned in confusion, seemingly unable to organize her thoughts.Ariel brushed the hair on her cheek gently with his hand, and she said after a while: "Ariel, the dagger Don't worry about your dagger, my love.Ariel said.Can your legs move?I have to pick you up and lift you up to my people.Honey, let go of Gavin and let me Gavin? Yes, my love, Gavin.He said patiently. Jamie lowered her head, and found that she was still hugging Gavin tightly, and Ariel was breaking her hand away.He was hit by a rock.she said.I fell too, and I tried to hold him, but he was so heavy, so I held him tight and we both rolled down the hill.She smiled at her husband, ignoring his worried frown.I don't remember which direction the rocks are in, but it looks like it's on the right, doesn't it? Yes.He whispered hoarsely. You have to carry him up first.she said, her voice now clear.Yes, with Ariel here, he can take care of everything. Ariel decided not to argue with her.He first lifted Gavin across his shoulders like a woman wearing a scarf, then split his legs, stood upright, pushed the sleeping Gavin up, and let the person above take over. Marco took Gavin away, and Ariel knelt back to Jiemi's side.She saw a suspicious light in his eyes, oh, he must be very worried about her.I'm fine, Ariel.I promised not to leave you. He couldn't believe she was still trying to comfort him at this point.Yes, you will not leave me.He is full of emotion and authenticity.I can see that the blood on your face is just a fake wound.He added, still remembering her saying the same thing about Gus' injury. My dagger, it's stuck in my shoulder.she shouted. He didn't respond, and Jie Mi decided that her injury must not be as bad as imagined, but she needed his assurance.Is it bad? No.he answered.And it's not stuck in your shoulder, you're lucky that it goes right through the fleshy part of your upper arm. I don't have much meat.Jamie argued that she had watched him tear off a piece of his cloak, but could not fathom his intentions.You said the knife penetrated?oh god!It must hurt to pull it out She didn't have a chance to finish speaking, Ariel had already pulled out the knife as fast as lightning, and at the same time tied the cloth strip in his hand tightly around her arm, so fast that she almost had no time to scream. Oh, it doesn't hurt, does it?He said in a low voice. Pain! Hush, love.he comforted.This is the quickest way to minimize your pain.He said, now he started to pick her up.When Jamie was on top of his head, she looked down, her body froze immediately, and Ariel tried to relieve her tension.Well, at least you found your knife now.He deliberately said in a relaxed tone. Yes.She said tensely.Ariel, you hurt me.She shouted, and Ariel's hand just touched her sore spot inadvertently.Jamie had to close her eyes and endure the piercing pain. Sorry, Jamie, I didn't mean to. The pain in his tone tore at her heart.It didn't hurt that much.She said quickly. Ariel hugged her to Marco, followed him up and hugged Jamie back into his arms. He rode on his black horse and let her snuggle firmly against his chest.Jemi sighed and leaned against him, he was so strong and solid. Why didn't you ask me if anyone saw the attack?she asked. I already know who that person is.he answered. I think I know too, but I want to hear from you. Ariel's gloomy expression showed that he didn't want to talk about it, but she insisted on asking: Who saw Lenna commit suicide? Ariel did not look at his wife.annie! Two hours later, Jamie was lying on the bed behind the screen, and her wound had been bandaged again She personally instructed Ariel how to use the medicine.Gavin was just lying on the other bed, and apart from what seemed to be two big headaches, he was fine. Father Mu, little Mary and Aidi all surrounded Jamie, looking at her with concern.During the whole bandaging process, Jie Mi was very brave and did not cry.After dressing the wound, she comforted the terrified Mary.She told her stories tenderly until Mary fell asleep. Then she saw Marco come into the hall, looking somber.did you find hershe shouted. No one answered her.Ariel walked to the door.Ariel, bring Annie in.she said.I want to ask her some questions. Ariel shook his head.I want to listen to what she has to say outside. And after that? I will make a decision. Jie Mi blurted out: Don't be too harsh on her, Ariel, her psychology is unbalanced. Ariel nodded and went out. After a while, there was a creepy, non-human laughter outside the door.Anne's hysterical cry sounded: I will be your wife, no matter how long it takes, I will.That's my right, Ariel Kim, and I've got rid of her when Lena took you from her side.Ariel, I will kill your wife over and over until you learn your lesson and you are mine Anne's voice was choked by Ariel's terrible roar, and Jamie wanted to get up immediately. Don't get up, Jamie.Gavin yelled from his bed, but Jamie moved faster than him, followed her and heard Gavin fall back on the bed in pain, and then his moan, she turned her head, but then saw that he was faking a headache on purpose , designed to grab her attention. I have complete confidence in my husband.She told Gavin.You don't have to feign pain to distract me. Gavin grinned, and followed Ariel in from the outside.Gavin, your bed seems crowded. He said leisurely. Jie Mi turned her head and smiled contemptuously at her husband.it's over?she asked. Ariel came over and kissed her forehead, and nodded to answer her. Ariel, it was Anne that King Ed wanted you to marry in the first place, didn't he?she asked.And she's so young She's only a year younger than you, Jamie. Jie Mi sighed, and told Ariel about the plan he had planned for today but made a mistake halfway. Ariel asked people who knew Lena and got the same conclusion as Jamie: Lena probably did not commit suicide, and if so, the biggest suspect is the person who witnessed Lena jumping off the cliff.In order to lure Annie, Ariel deliberately sent Ai Di and Annie to their distant relatives earlier, knowing that this would prompt Annie to take action. But his original arrangement is that Gavin guards Jemi, while Marco keeps an eye on Annie.But Ai Di, who didn't know the inside story, was tricked by Annie and slipped out using her as a cover.When Ma Ke felt something was wrong, he was already a step behind when he followed him, and almost made a big mistake. Ai Di and Marco blamed themselves, but Ariel and Jamie didn't blame them.As for Ania Lie's decision to send her to a heavily guarded madhouse, because she is indeed crazy. I recognized Annie's laughter on the rocks.Jamie sighed, then turned to her husband and forced a smile.But you really shouldn't use me as a bait to lure Annie, my lord.She pretended to condemn. Jin Yalie smiled wryly, followed Jiemi and turned to the priest.Father, tomorrow you must re-bless Lena's soul, she deserves her Mass, and all the clan must be present. Do you want to move her tomb into the cemetery? She shook her head.We can expand the scope of the cemetery to include her grave.Of course, Ariel and I will be buried next to Lena's grave in the future, which is the most suitable, isn't it?My husband. Yes.Ariel said, his voice was hoarse and full of emotion. Don't be so happy.Jamie teased him.I'll leave instructions to bury you in the middle, Ariel Kim, so that you'll have a wife on your left and right to nest you for eternity. Ariel said exaggeratedly: God help me!Everyone else in the room laughed.
