Chapter 202 The unexpected young man

Kuka City, in a small alley somewhere in the east of the city.

This is a fairly ordinary gray brick house, but something strange is that even during the day, the curtains in the entire house are tightly closed.

In the room, a girl wearing an ordinary brown skirt was sitting boredly on a chair in the room, flipping through the book in her hand.

After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a slightly thin figure walked in carrying a tray with food.

"Oh, Cress, I've been waiting for a long time!"

The girl said cheerfully, jumped off the chair, took the tray, helped put it on the table nearby, and chirped.

"I'm sorry, Liz. I have to force you to eat these ordinary things."

Cress said a little embarrassed.

The food on the table was just plain brown bread and vegetable stew, with some traces of bacon between the potatoes and carrots.

"Hey, I feel like I can breathe a little easier now that I can leave that castle."

"I have to thank you, Cress. I don't want to marry someone so much older than me."

Liz didn't pay attention and hugged Cress suddenly, her face pressed against the girl's small melon face and kept rubbing.

"Instead of that, I might as well live with you, Cress!"

"Well, if Lizzie wishes"

Cress murmured softly, with a slight blush on her face.

Kress is an ordinary bronze mage in Kuka City. The inheritance she inherited from her deceased parents is enough for her to live a leisurely and carefree life.

But this peace was broken one day, and Cress remembered it clearly.

It was a sunny spring day, and when she was about to go out to buy food for the next few days, a figure suddenly broke in from the door and locked the door tightly with her backhand.

It was a beautiful girl, wearing a gorgeous warm yellow dress, but she looked at herself longingly and said:

"Someone is chasing me outside. Miss, can I stay here for a while?"

Cress didn't know why she agreed to the girl's request without hesitation. All that remained in her memory was the girl's bright face and smile.

It was like casting a ray of sunshine into her monotonous and boring life.

Later, Cress learned that the girl's name was Liz, and she was the daughter of Viscount Kuka, the lord of this place.

That day was when she was going out for fun, but Liz didn't like the guards following her, so she quietly shook them off.

Breaking into Cress's home was also an accident, just to avoid the guards who came from behind.

Liz didn't have any other ideas. She just wanted to stay at ease for a while. After staying at Liz's house for a while, she walked around Cress's house in a familiar way, chatted for a while, and then went back honestly.

However, since then, Liz has visited Cress's home from time to time to relax her tense nerves in the Viscount Castle.

Cress didn't know why, but she didn't reject this young lady.

Slowly, it seemed that there was an extra person in Cress's life, and the gray-white memory picture seemed to have a different color.

Until a week ago, Liz suddenly came to her and said in a very disappointed tone:

"My father wants to marry me off, and I may never come again."

At that time, Cress felt that her mind was in confusion and she subconsciously said:

"Then Liz, do you want to come to my place?"

She knew clearly that this was very dangerous and would offend the lord, Viscount Kuka, and might destroy her peaceful life forever, but all these worries were forgotten by Cress in Liz's sweet smile.

So a few days ago, with the help of Cress, Liz came here quietly, and Cress tried her best to fake the traces of Liz's escape from Kuka City.

Viscount Kuka was in a hurry, so when Cress went out these days, she found many guards on the street checking the passing people, so the two of them stayed at home honestly.

But it’s not good to stay here forever. Sooner or later, Viscount Kuka will come to the door. Cress is already ready to leave with Liz when the inspection at the city gate is relaxed.

Where to go? The royal capital, Bright City?

Cress sipped the vegetable soup and kept making plans in her mind.

In this process, Cress, who had never been involved in other things, gradually matured.

Liz didn't think so much. She felt that she was the luckiest thing to escape from that oppressive home.

Carefully dip the brown bread into the vegetable soup. A little surprise will keep her happy for a long time.

As for what the future holds, Liz doesn't want to worry.

As long as I'm with Chrissy, I'll be fine!

Dang Dang!

While the two were enjoying the meal quietly, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Cress's body suddenly became tense, and Liz also looked frightened, but she obediently didn't make a sound and just stayed there quietly waiting for Cress's decision.

Cress gritted her teeth and whispered to Liz:

"I'll go see what's going on. Just stay here and don't make a sound."

Liz nodded, knowing very well what Cress was worried about.

Cress didn't let Liz hide.

If the person really came for Liz, there was no point in hiding.

If the target was not Liz, Cress would not let her into the house easily.

Standing in front of the door, Cress took a deep breath to calm down, then looked outside through the small hole in the door.

Cress let out a small sigh of relief. There were no guards. It was not the worst scenario she had imagined.

Standing outside the door was a handsome young man, smiling as if he had noticed someone looking out of the small hole.

"Who are you, what's the matter?"

Cress asked cautiously without opening the door.

"My name is Li Si, I'm from Bright Light City."
