2207 destined
Elf was not irritated by Renly, and the disturbing thoughts in her mind were raging. Then she realized that she was still confused and confused and could not find a clear position. So, how should she refute Renly?？
If Elizabeth or George were here, it would be a high probability that they would conflict with Renly, but after all, Elf is not Elizabeth, and her position and role are destined. She does not need to bear the title of "parent" to cover her own. Dignity and pride, the mentality when facing Renly must be different..
just like now——
Elf calmly exhaled and calmed down: she was not going to argue with Renly about whether Edith's move to the front line was worth it; nor was she going to discuss with Renly about what Edith's condition should be. Who is in charge... In fact, Renly's sharpness and indifference just show that he cares. He is far from being as calm as he seems on the surface. He is also worried about Edith. This is what she cares about. familiar situation.
Then this is enough.
What's more, Elf's initial decision to come to the Prince's Garden was not something she did impulsively. She had her own reasons. Although Elf's passivity after standing in front of Renly made Elf begin to question herself, her original purpose Whether it was clear, meaningful, and necessary, but...she still decided to proceed according to the original plan. As for the hesitation and confusion, she could wait until she calmed down and thought about it carefully..
“There is no need for you to target me and act like a child. This is not the first day you have known me. You should know that these tricks will not work on me..”
Elf responded calmly. Even though she was confused in her heart, she was never timid or flinched when facing Renly. She didn't think Renly's "prank" was so terrible, and she looked so calm and calm. Without giving an inch, he counterattacked Renly's attack in the same way..
This made Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Obviously, he was very unfamiliar with Elf who looked like this..
Then, Elf continued to say：
“I just want to tell you that Elizabeth is in a 'mourning period' and she is planning to hold a charity event to support Edith's move; George is in a 'heavy period' and has already used his connections to help find Edith's whereabouts. But... some of these rumors may not be consistent with the facts.”
Rumor? Does not match？
Although Elf didn't describe it in detail, Renly could imagine with his knees how much George and Elizabeth supported Edith's decision at first, and how sad they were now that they had to cheer up to support justice. Renly, who was filming in Ireland, was so cold-blooded. He didn't seem to care about Edith's life or death at all. He just completely left everything in the "Hall" family behind..
What else can't his great parents do?？
Furthermore, even Elf, seeing Renly's calm appearance today, inevitably had questions in her heart, questioning Renly's attitude, let alone other complete strangers.？
Renly had never predicted George and Elizabeth's actions, but now he was not surprised at all when he heard the news. It could even be said that this should be a completely "reasonable" move, so that Renly was a little disappointed. He thought George and Elizabeth could have some relationship. New tricks, but obviously he thought too much.
However, there are no new tricks but the same old ones, so that's okay. After all, old-fashioned also means classic: as long as they can catch mice, black and white cats are good cats. Renly also believes that they are all excellent actors, They are bound to be able to perform perfectly, convince everyone, and then regain the moral high ground for them - otherwise, where did his talent come from?？
But obviously, Elf's worries have something else..
“Renly, they can help." Elf said calmly, "Maybe they will create some waves, they will selfishly build a memorial for themselves, they will use this incident to create opportunities again, but they It can really help. Especially George, you should know his connections. Sometimes, he does have an advantage, such as now.”
Of course Renly knows.
But what's really funny is that Elf's attitude hurts Renly - as if Renly could be so stupid that he could be blinded by personal grudges, and in order to get revenge on George and Elizabeth, forget about Edith's danger, and then ignore it. Reluctantly clashed with George and Elizabeth again.
However, Renly was not prepared to blame Elf, because she only made a judgment based on facts and evidence; and it was a rational and objective judgment..
“So, is it Hall you're worried about, or is it Edith? "Renly asked calmly, the former is family honor, and the latter is brothers and sisters..
Elf didn’t understand Renly; how could Renly understand Elf?？
From childhood to adulthood, they never really understood each other, as if they were just acquaintances, but relied on the surname "Hall" to maintain a relationship by blood. As a result, they hurt each other, but they also hurt each other. keep distance.
Elf didn't answer——
Because she didn't know the answer deep down in her heart. On the one hand, she was getting rid of the shackles of her family and finding her own life. She was trying her best to escape from Bayswater; but on the other hand, her whole life had been taught that She had to live for the Hall family. Even though she was "freed" now, in the dead of night, she still couldn't resist the shackles of the curse, as if it was rooted in her blood..
So, is she defending George and Elizabeth now, or is she defending Edith? She could say that she was defending both, but she couldn't believe her own words.
How could Renly know about that kind of struggle and pain, that kind of entanglement and contradiction? He is like a child who always sticks to his dreams, throws away his baggage and runs with all his strength regardless. Then, even Edith and Arthur have left, so what else can she do? What about their responsibilities? Where do they belong? What should we do with those?？
However, Elf was not prepared to argue with Renly because there was no need. "Do you care?" Elf asked back. She was responsible for worrying about Hall, while Renly was responsible for worrying about Edith. After this incident, But they can reach the same destination through different paths. They have a common goal, don't they?？
Renly pursed his lips slightly, then shook his head, "Actually, no, I don't care. So, don't worry, I have no plans to go crazy just yet." After a pause, Renly's voice rose, "Actually, I'm more surprised that you care about.”
This is an affirmative sentence: Elf cares about Edith. Whether it is for Hall or Edith, Elf still cares. This is the accident..
Elf looked at Renly calmly, "I always care.”
“No, you don't." Renly shook his head in denial..
Then, Elf chuckled, "Are you sure we want to continue arguing like this? It's as childish as a child who hasn't grown up..”
Renly raised his hands to express surrender, "I am the master, I should accept it as soon as possible.".”
The subtext is that Elf's act of coming to the door in person is already very rare. This has already explained a lot of things. It also allows Renly to gain the upper hand, so he should stop being aggressive - in fact, he is still expressing a meaning. , Elf actually doesn’t care about Edith..
Not only was Elf not angry, she even chuckled, with a hint of meaningful confusion in her eyes, "You really care about her.".”
When they first met, Elf thought Renly didn't care at all, but after careful communication, she could clearly feel the anger burning deep in Renly's heart, not only against George and Elizabeth, but also against her. , the sharpness of the needle hidden in the cotton has never disappeared..
The corners of Renly's mouth raised in a slight arc, but for the first time, he showed ridicule and ridicule, "Who else cares besides me?？”
It was anger, but also sadness and desolation - besides Renly, who else cared about Edith's dream? Who else is sincerely concerned about Edith's safety? Who else really understands what Edith's current choice means and what she is facing? Is there anyone else?？
Now Elf finally understands the meaning of Renly's question just now. He does care about her purpose - whether it is for Hall or for Edith. Deep in his heart, Renly is still thinking about Edith. Despite the injustice, the sharpness and sharpness hidden deep in the words have never disappeared; but behind the attack, there is a sense of loneliness and sadness, the kind of emotion that only Renly and Edith can understand each other..
Elf feels like an outsider. Not a bystander, but an excluded outsider..
Suddenly, she felt a little envious of Edith. Even if she rushed forward regardless, even if she risked herself in danger, even if the whole world was on the opposite side of her, there were still people behind her who cared about her safety and her. With persistence, she defended her position and ideas regardless of the circumstances. Edith was not alone in her struggle..
So, what about her?？
Elf felt that her share of "Sad Spring and Sad Autumn" for the whole year had been used up. She didn't know what was wrong with her, and the sadness in her mind was still lingering; but when she appeared in front of Renly, her emotions seemed to She was aroused and out of control, and she was very uncomfortable with this kind of loss of control..
But......
Elf tried to tell Renly a definite answer. She came here for Edith, but she couldn't because she didn't have the answer herself..
As the eldest daughter of the Hall family, her position and situation, her birth and education, are destined to be different from Renly. She cannot even be as willful as Arthur and Edith. It is not so much her It is better to say that this is the education she has received since she was a child. No matter whether it is good or bad, it has made her what she is now. There is no way for her to get rid of it..
So, she couldn't answer Renly.
This predicament made Elf a little irritable and annoyed, but she still couldn't get rid of it. At a certain moment, she also felt a sense of powerlessness. This ordinary human emotion made her a little angry..
