Chapter 207 Painting

After dinner, Aunt Mary sat in the living room. She was sure that no one would come to visit her these days, so at this time, there were multiple easels placed in this not-so-large living room, with brushes, paints and various other painting tools placed next to it.

No one knows when the old woman became obsessed with painting. However, whenever she has time, Aunt Mary will stay in front of the easel to paint. She is not as interested as a child, but quite persistent.

If someone could come to these paintings, he would definitely show great surprise. The paintings drawn by Countess Marianne were all portraits of characters. To be more specific, they were painted by a man standing somewhere. All of these paintings were not completed because the man's face was not drawn. However, based on the body details of the protagonist in the painting, it is easy to guess that all the paintings were the same man.

After dinner, the old woman began to continue her hobby. This time, the man she wrote was wearing military uniform. The man stood by the gate of a certain city, surrounded by scattered buildings and horse-rejecting horses, cannons, vehicles, etc., implying that the background of the painting was a war. The man stood in the middle of the road, with his back facing the city gate, covered with long swords hanging on his waist, holding his helmet in one hand and his shield in the other. Although the armor on his body looked simple, the helmet in his hand was decorated with long ornate feathers, indicating his identity as a senior officer. The clear weapon scratches can be seen on the man's armor and shield, indicating that the man had just gotten off the battlefield.

The old woman painted it very seriously and depicted the details of the protagonist in the painting one by one. Of course, like other paintings, the protagonist's face is still blank at the moment, and it is impossible to tell what the protagonist's expression was like at that time. However, judging from the situation of the armor and shield, he had undoubtedly just experienced a fierce battle.

Aunt Mary began to carefully color the armor with red and black pigments. This did not mean that the armor itself was red and black, but that it was decorated with a lot of red and black blood. After completing this detail, the image of the protagonist of the painting became clearer. It can be inferred that the hero must be brave in combat, because his armor and shield were damaged, and his whole body was covered with blood.

A discerning person can see at once that this is not an old woman's imagination scene out of nothing, but a memory from her past. Otherwise, it would be impossible to draw so carefully and describe every detail in detail in detail. In fact, this is true, because when Countess Marianne painted, her eyes were more confused than being sober. She started writing while muttering in a voice that no one could understand.

Someone outside knocked on the door.

The old woman subconsciously raised her head and shouted "Come in". But she immediately remembered that this was the villa of Eagle Falcon City - the residence given by Her Majesty the Queen to Earl Earl Earl. This was not a generous gift, because the house was small, and five people lived in it were a little crowded and could not accommodate the servants. But this gift was not considered shabby. Because as we all know, the house in the noble district of Eagle Falcon City has always been priceless. If you want to buy one, you dare not say it is difficult, but at least you have to have some luck and opportunity. Of course, although it is difficult to buy, it is much easier to rent.

Originally, with Byron's coup and ultimately failed, many places were vacant in the noble area. Originally, many people thought that this "resource shortage" situation would be alleviated, but unfortunately, although it had been relieved for a short period of time, the scarcity of resources finally turned things back to their original appearance.

In any case, there are only five women living in this house, including Aunt Mary. The door is closed and unless someone opens it inside, people outside cannot enter.

Aunt Mary put down her brush and walked to the door of the room. Half of her heart was immersed in a distant memory, which she didn't even realize.

The old woman opened the door and a gust of wind blew over her face. At the door was a man wearing common travel clothes, tall and thin. Perhaps because she left the candle on the edge of the easel, the light at the door was very dim. The old woman was stunned for a moment and screamed in a voice that was completely different from her usual speaking.

"grown ups……"

The old woman took a step back and a strong emotion suddenly surged into her forehead. She swayed for a moment, like a person stepping on the air, and stabilized in the next moment, but she immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Aunt Mary!" said the man at the door. He quickly stepped forward, brought the door with one hand, and hugged the unconscious old woman with the other hand.

At this time, the twins walked out of another room together. Through the dim light, they immediately recognized that the person who came in was their fiancé, Ashu Rufate.

"Auntie? Ashu Rufate?" the two of them shouted at the same time. Ashu Rufate made a "silence" gesture with his hands. The two sisters understood and immediately shut their mouths.

I don't know if this scream was heard by people outside, but Fana also walked out of the room.

Although both of them were actually waiting for Ashu Rufate to come back, at this moment, their attention was temporarily attracted by Aunt Mary who fainted. The two sisters quickly came to Ashu Rufate to help him support the old woman. However, after a simple examination, Aunt Mary seemed to have fallen into a coma for unknown reasons and there was no other danger, because her breathing was still stable and powerful.

Xingke easily picked up Aunt Mary and hugged her all the way to the bedroom. Others followed her.

"What's wrong with Auntie?" As Xingke walked with Aunt Mary in his arms, Ashu Rufat asked Xingjian beside him.

"I don't know, maybe I'm too tired." Xingjian replied. "She has been very busy during this period and has no time to rest well, and she is older... Asu Ruffat, why are you back?"

"Of course I'm back to meet my lovely fiancées." After confirming that the old woman was not in danger, she smiled and returned to Ashu Rufate's face.

"What... I haven't seen you for so long, and I have learned to... I've been talking nonsense!" Xing Ke said with a bit of gritting his teeth. "Why haven't even written a letter to us for so long!"

"I thought magic communication was enough." Ashu Rufat still smiled. "They might be able to blame me for this reason, but you... every few days, don't I use magic communication to send you messages?"

"What, you...hum..." Xing Ke turned his head over with force.

"Why are you back today?" Xingjian remembered another thing. Although he hadn't seen Ash Rufate for a long time, he really shouldn't have come back today. "Outside..."

"I know, now the people in the city seem to think that I am an irrational evil spirit." Ash Rufate replied. "But, fortunately, there is no one here to monitor it, so there should be no problem with me when I come back."

"You should report to the Queen first."

"If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome," said Ashu Rufate. "In this way, the whole city will know that I'm back, but I can't deal with this tide."

"Ashu Rufate, you are really..." Xingke asked. "There has been done in Fornoros City..."

The smile disappeared from Ashu Rufate's face instantly. "Yes, I killed all the people in the city. Actually, I just wanted to kill all the adult men, but someone suggested to me that since there was an irresolvable hatred, no matter what I did, I would not be forgiven. So it would be better to simply eradicate the roots and eliminate future troubles forever."

"This..." To be honest, the four people, including Shirley, actually didn't believe this rumor. At least they thought that Ashu Rufate was forced in this matter.

"No matter what reason I use to defend myself, I did this." Ashu Rufate said coldly.

"Why?"

"Because I had to do this, the city had actually been penetrated by the cultists like a sieve." Ash Rufate replied. "You have also heard about the collusion between Byron and the cultists."

Since the undoubted altar of evil gods was discovered in Fornoros, even the church had to admit this. The ministers of the little queen were not just a waste of money, so they would not miss such a good subject. In this way, the war to fight Byron was sublimated from civil war to counter-rebellion, and then the color of religious jihad was added. The little queen's behavior was natural legitimacy. Some rumors previously described the little queen as a bloodthirsty and cruel monarch, but in the face of a huge sacred halo such as "destroying the evil god believers", these rumors were like dew in the sun and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Is it necessary...to do this?"

Ashu Rufate did not answer, but just glanced over the faces of the three fiancees with a calm gaze.

"Anyway, I believe Mr. Asu Rufate." Fana said firmly. "If it is not necessary, does Mr. Asu Rufate do that kind of thing."

This topic seems to end here, because no one mentioned it again.

"By the way, how is Aunt?" Ashu Rufat asked. "If she is tired, why is she still painting there? This is a job that requires a high concentration."

While speaking, the four of them came to the living room and came to the front of the unfinished paintings.

"I don't know, my aunt is obsessed with painting recently. But she never explains why in this regard." Xingke replied. These paintings are actually very strange. All the male protagonist's faces are blank. If the one Aunt Mary is painting can be understood as the painting has not been completed, the other paintings are very strange. Because except for the male protagonist's face, all the details of the other paintings are depicted.
