Chapter 363 Love is Compromise
Chapter 363 Love is Compromise
Norvia had lunch with Hugh and Natalie.
Jilan took Zhue to eat a barbecue buffet near the Treasure Botanical Garden, Teacher Matija and Fiana were inviting Hazi to dinner, and Molga took Irene, Elliott and Dooku to eat a children's meal in a parent-child restaurant.
When Nolvia came back from the cafe, she received a picture from Dooku. It seemed that Dooku liked the omelette rice with a smiley face drawn on it with chocolate sauce.
But when Norvia walked into the house, she saw Natalie without a smile on her face.
Natalie fired a series of inquiries at her.
"Why are there only you and the red-haired kid at home? Where are my parents? Where is Matija? Where are those kids?"
Nolvia tilted her head slightly and looked at Hught behind Natalie.
Hugh raised his eyes, his green eyes calm and innocent.
"She didn't ask me."
Nolvia nodded and told Natalie where everyone was going.
Natalie wanted to go find Mattia, but when she looked at the two children who were left at home, she went to the kitchen and found that Gillan had not prepared lunch.
Natalie scratched her orange hair and sighed.
"I'll take you out to eat. Is there anything you don't want to eat? No, I remember Matija only said that the little gray wolf doesn't like to eat peas, and the most beautiful children can't eat a lot of candy... You are a bunch of troublemakers."
Natalie picked up the communicator and sent a message to Matija. As she sent the message, she said to Norvia and Huett, "If you weren't Matija's students, I wouldn't care about you."
“Natalie, we can go out to eat by ourselves.
I will take care of Teacher Matija's side."
Nolvaya looked at Natalie with a smile.
Natalie paused while sending the message. She quickly sent the message, turned off the communicator, and looked at Nolvia.
"You're so smart it's annoying."
"Thank you."
"Want some lasagna?"
"Ok."
"Let's go."
……
The restaurant Natalie took them to was small, but the lasagna was delicious.
The midday sun was so scorching that people felt dizzy and even the leaves were wilted.
Natalie stretched and leaned back in her chair casually, looking at Norvia and Huete who were sitting together.
She knew that she was facing the captain and vice-captain of the entire team. If the vice-captain knew her plan, there was no reason why the captain would not know it.
"Have you always been so nosy?"
Natalie's question was abrupt and direct, without any transition.
Norvia did not answer. Huett looked at Natalie calmly beside Norvia and motioned her to continue.
Natalie couldn't say anything else. She wanted to continue saying something harsh, but unfortunately she was very busy and didn't have time to continue resting here.
Natalie paid and left, leaving them to go home or go to see the king and Montero pray together.
"If you go earlier, you can stand in the front. Maybe you can see the 'Blessing of the Ancestors' very clearly."
Natalie said this meaningfully and walked neatly into the scorching sunlight.
All that was left was silence.
"Hugh, this is not a good sign."
Nolvaya didn't know how to describe this feeling. She certainly hoped that her teammates would be loved by the world, but some love was not unconditional.
When "Send You Home" was fixed as a kind and righteous team, a certain degree of expectations were placed on them.
Joan thinks they will help Montero because that's what they mean by "sending you home", so he asks them not to disrupt Montero's plans.
Montero believes that they are righteous, so she thinks they will look down on her because of this, so Montero specifically asks Nolvia not to look down on her teammates.
...“Peace Dove” tacitly assumes that they are absolutely good people.
Even a saint without blemish.
But people have always had flaws.
"Nolvaya, what does other people's expectations of us have to do with us?"
Huet knew what Norvia cared about.
But he didn't think it was something that his vice-captain needed to worry about.
His past was filled with all kinds of twisted expectations of him, and yet he still made it to where he is today.
"Hugh, it matters. Hugh, I will compromise for you."
Love is about compromise. It was Norvia who chose to become a guard, it was Ellit who hated the northern continent but decided to go and find out for Dooku, it was Zhu Ying who knew that Shute had secretly run to Carone but did not chase him - they would not give in, but they would compromise for love.
They have compromised a lot with this world.
Norvia has become attached to this world, she is no longer a spectator. Zhuyi no longer seeks immortality for the team, but chooses to go to the end of life with the team. Ailin is no longer the imprisoned green tea princess, she wants to become the king of Ruyou...
Love is mutual compromise.
Abel always talked about how good her students were, even though other teachers would think they were the lackeys of the evil noble students. Even when he was bullied by his adoptive brother's students, Oub did not allow anyone to say anything bad about his students.
Lilith defends her students' precious future with her life.
Valerio told his students that they could do anything they wanted because he would back them up. Mattia gave her family to her students so that they could have more love.
So, Norvia is willing to compromise for Huete, but this is not what Huete expects.
Huett understood.
When you are loved, you want to become better and more worthy of that love.
"Nolvaya, we will not choose to become what we hate. Even if we change, it is of our own free will."
Huett's eyes were gentle.
"Don't worry."
The moment Huette's words came to an end, the sound of drums in the distance began to boom.
The float parade is about to begin.
Nolvia did not continue the topic, she smiled at Huet.
"...Captain, let's go and see Qi Guang."
Hugh nodded silently. He stared at the mermaid's figure, his green eyes as deep as the bottom of a pool.
Unreasonable expectations are like greedy demands. “Sending you home” is just “sending you home”, not a god who will answer your prayers.
He wasn't going to let his vice-captain bother with that.
The Mad Prince is not in the beautiful legend of kindness and justice, he still retains the awareness of being an evil person.
……
The float parade at Titges is much more impressive than the one at Ambedkar Amusement Park.
Norvia and Shute found Gilan and Zhulang in the bustling crowd.
The others were on other streets in O'Neill, but the float would eventually stop at O'Neill's Municipal Gardens, so they agreed to meet at the Municipal Gardens.
Nolvia moved with the float and the crowd, and she could see Montero when she looked up.
Montero stood at the top of the float and waved with the king to accept the greeting, her golden hair shining.
Norvia also saw Fiana in the distance. For some reason, her figure was a little stiff, and she seemed to be held very high by someone.
Nolvia guessed it was teacher Mattia, but when they walked to the Municipal Park and reunited with everyone, Nolvia asked Fiana who lifted her up, and Fiana said it was Ha Zi.
"Because there were so many people, Ha Zi said he had seen the parade many times, so he asked me to stand on his shoulders and watch."
Ellit: "I saw you too, Fiana! The others who stood up are cubs, and you are the tallest among them. I can see you from two blocks away."
Fianna:……
Fiana had a headache and she sighed softly.
Zhu asked her why she didn't reject Ha Zi.
Fiana was helpless.
"Because he wanted me to stand tall enough. He said he had imagined taking me to a show before."
Zhu Yi said "oh" and asked Fiana casually whether she wanted Ha Zi to return to Philippi.
Fiana shook her head.
"I asked him about it. He didn't want to go back, but he said he would come to Philippi to see me when he got his temper back."
That's still a long way to go for Ha Zi.
The bright sunlight suddenly dimmed for a moment. The pressure from the tiger ancestor made the drums sluggish.
At the moment when the king and Montero stretched out their hands to pray for light, the chants from the ancestors fell one by one from the sky of Titaig.
Almost all the tigers present knelt down before the king and Montero, including Molda and Gilan.
Norvia knew that this was Natalie's work. She turned around to look for Huett, but saw Teacher Mattia standing there too.
Teacher Mattia looked solemn as she looked at Montero on the float, pursing her lips with a cold look in her eyes.
Natalie is not here.
Norvia's mind turned and she turned to look at Elliott.
Ellito was stunned for a moment, then followed Norvia's gaze and saw Teacher Matija standing there.
Elliott suddenly realized and took off his Kriskin ring knot.
It is a serious act of disrespect for a tiger warrior not to kneel down and worship his ancestors. If Teacher Matija is recognized by other orcs, the consequences will be very serious.
The pink atmosphere enveloped Mattia, and Norvia saw Natalie under a lime tree.
Natalie was staring at Mattia. After the ancestors finished their chanting, Natalie turned and left.
Matija looked in the direction Natalie left as if she had sensed something, but the orcs had already stood up, and their shadows blocked Natalie's figure.
There was no special activity in the Festival of Light after the prayer for light. The orcs in the municipal garden were enthusiastically discussing the chanting from their ancestors that had just appeared. Only Matija had a gloomy expression.
But when facing her students, Mattia's expression softened.
"How about we go to O'Neill's Center Restaurant for dinner? Their roasted bone marrow is really good."
"Great! I found this restaurant. It is said that they are the best family restaurant in O'Neill. Their hot cocoa drinks are also delicious."
Irene happily held Matija's hand and swung around. She and Dooku had a lot of fun during the few days in O'Neill.
It’s just that the afternoon time passed too quickly, and it seemed like it was getting dark in the blink of an eye.
This afternoon, the message of "sending you home" was synchronized, and Natalie's plan and decision to leave Titagh tomorrow appeared in front of everyone.
Mattia seemed to have noticed Natalie's plan, and she did not stop her students from leaving. But Morga and Gillan were reluctant to let them go.
Before returning home at nightfall, Molga was buying gifts to "send you home", while Jilan was in the kitchen making some special delicacies for the cubs that could be preserved for a long time.
Natalie never showed up.
Morga and Gillan didn't know what Natalie was doing. They might have noticed something, but they didn't want to expose it.
The food in the central restaurant was delicious, but Dooku ate very little. He didn't want to face such a farewell.
Gilan went to Dooku on his way home and gave him the key to his house.
"Dooku, come back when you are free. I have been researching how to make delicious plum pudding."
Dooku tightly grasped the key Gilan gave him and nodded solemnly.
That night, the lights in Gilan and Murga's house were on.
Matthias went out to look for Natalie, while Morga was packing the gifts she bought for Norvia and the others. Norvia and Irene helped Morga pack.
Fiana went to find Ha Zi. Ha Zi's mental state was not good, his life was terrible, and it was not easy for him to survive until now by his own efforts. He needed the intervention of a therapist. But Ha Zi was very stubborn, and this stubbornness could be relaxed a little when he met Fiana.
Gillan was still making Titag's special snacks in the kitchen, and Hught was silently helping Gillan control the heat.
Dooku didn't sleep either. He forced himself to wake up, lowered his eyes, and worked with Ellit and Zhu Ying to transform the defense system around Morgha and Gilan's house.
The spider used vines to carry the materials needed for the transformation, and Ellit made it so that when people walked near it, they would be bewitched and leave automatically.
Dooku designed an entire defense system.
Gillan and Morga, Natalie and Teacher Mattia, they will all be safe. As long as there is no divine power or mechanical intervention, this house is an absolutely safe area.
Mulga and Gilan no longer had to pick up shovels to drive away invaders.
……
The moon and the sun appeared in the same sky, but the moon was as thin as gauze, while the sun was as bright as a piece of iron heated red by fire by a dwarf craftsman.
Molga and Jilan carried the luggage and sent Norvia and the others to the magic circle.
Natalie still hadn't shown up, and Mattia was preoccupied with other things, so she could only use the communicator to send a message to remind them to be careful.
The magic circle has not been activated yet.
Mulga held up Erin's ankle-length gray hair and styled it in a cute style. Gilan asked Dooku if he wanted anything else for dessert.
The Festival of Light has just ended, and the magic circle has resumed operation, it is a lively time.
Some people say goodbye, some people leave. The world is always so busy.
The magic circle began to work.
Dooku walked slowly. He kept looking at Mulgar and Gilan, watching them wave at him, looking into their tearful eyes.
Then he looked up and saw Ha Zi running towards him in a hurry.
"...Fiana!"
Fiana, who was about to enter the magic circle, suddenly turned back.
Ha Zi was running staggeringly with tears in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were raised high.
"I found it! I found the notes she left behind... She said that her name should be Naxia... It's Naxia."
Fiana paused for a long time, then slowly smiled at Ha Zi.
Ha Zi stared at Fiana blankly. Fiana looked like Nasha, but she also looked like Sai Ke when she smiled.
"Hazi, thank you."
When Fiana said this, Ha Zi seemed to see Naxia and Sai Ke.
He suddenly felt an uncontrollable bitterness in his heart. He wiped away his tears fiercely and turned away, no longer looking at Fiana.
"What's the matter with that?"
Ha Zi spoke slowly to herself in a crying voice.
"Ha Zi, why are you so stupid? You should have remembered it earlier. You should have found it earlier."
"——Uncle Hazi."
Fiana's voice made Ha Zi turn his head stiffly.
The magic circle is about to close.
Fiana stood in the magic circle and looked at him, her rosy eyes filled with emotion.
“Please return to Philippi as soon as possible.
…I need you.”
The magic circle is closed.
Ha Zi looked at the empty magic circle and suddenly felt infinite courage.
