Indescribable tarot cards

Aaron remained silent. He could feel the coldness of Alice's delicate hands, and he could also imagine what kind of power these seemingly harmless jade hands could unleash.

If Alice really wants to take action, to be fair, the most he can do is fight with Alice and die together.

No matter how many tricks he had, Alice was only one step away from him.

"Dream Language·Twisted Language" cannot solve the current situation, and "Secret Language·Elemental Arm" needs time to activate.

Alice's eyes were extremely peaceful, and she just stared at Aaron quietly.

Aaron suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become subtle, and he even felt that the air around him had become extremely dull. However, what made him feel a little relieved was that Alice did not seem to show any murderous intention.

"Alice, I..." He hesitated again and again, and finally spoke slowly, his voice hard and hoarse, as if he had returned from the long sand in just a few minutes, and the last drop of moisture had been squeezed out of his throat by the hot and vicious sun.

"Aaron, I..." Alice said almost at the same time.

She was obviously also making a major decision. Through her hands, Aaron seemed to be able to hear her strong but rapid heartbeat, which silently proved that she was not actually who she appeared to be. So peaceful.

Of course, the two of them spoke at the same time with a tacit understanding, and they also didn't think clearly at the same time with a tacit understanding.

"How about you tell me first?"

"You should speak first."

The two of them said the same words in unison.

There was another deathly silence.

"No, you say it first."

"Ladies first, you go ahead."

"Mr. Aaron, there is no distinction between men and women in the Iris family!"

"But your name is Mrs. Albert now." Aaron said without thinking, then realized his mistake and whispered: "Sorry, I meant..."

"I understand, I understand," Alice didn't seem to care about Aaron's unintentional words. She nodded to herself, leaned forward, and the distance between her and Aaron became a little closer again. Aaron even said I could smell the expensive perfume on her clothes.

She repeated in a low voice everything that Aaron had said: "Aaron Albert, will you marry Lady Alice Gladstone and live with her in holy matrimony, regardless of illness?" Whether in health, poverty or wealth, beauty or eclipse, prosperity or frustration, are you willing to love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her, and be loyal to her forever throughout your lives?"

Because of the dim candlelight, Aaron could only vaguely see the glimmer of water in Alice's eyes.

"Mr. Aaron, for the sake of my uncle's engagement and the fact that you are facing your wife, I hope you can answer my questions seriously and seriously."

Alice tried hard to keep her tone calm, but her hands unknowingly increased their strength.

"I will answer seriously and seriously, Alice, I..." Aaron sighed with difficulty, "I promise."

This is Layden City, the city in the southwest corner of the Kingdom of Algrant, which is an entire kingdom away from the city of Uruk in the north of the kingdom.

As a member of the Iris family, Alice came to sign a marriage contract, but she only brought Ed with her.

Even if Aaron doesn't know the Iris family, as far as he knows, even the several noble families in Leiden City will at least provide one or two personal servants for the noble ladies.

The dignified eldest daughter of the Iris family, but she doesn’t have a personal maid by her side?

Combined with the performance of Iris Trading Company and Alice in recent days, even though Aaron didn't ask any more questions, he already had a conclusion in his mind.

Rather than saying that she married far away from Leiden City, it would be more appropriate to say that she was exiled.

She was married to a foreign country under an inexplicable contract, and she was married to a down-and-out nobleman she had never met.

The only two relatives died suddenly in the natural disaster, and there was no room for recovery, and they died in front of them.

His uncle forced her to make a choice with his life, and even more so, he used an extraordinary contract to force her not to regret it.

The only turning point is that she accidentally discovered that this so-called fiancé seemed to have been replaced by someone?

For Alice, this husband, who is connected through a supernatural contract, is probably her only support in this city of Leiden.

Comparing his feelings and thinking from his perspective, Aaron really couldn't bear to lie.

In fact, his previous hesitation was contemplating what to say.

However, what can he say?

Expose yourself as a time traveler?

But how should he explain it?

Just say that you came here because you picked up a strange gold coin?

Aaron himself didn't quite believe such a clumsy and bizarre reason.

Will Alice believe it?

"Mr. Aaron, I...I'm sleepy, so just give me an answer." Alice stared into Aaron's eyes and said meaningfully.

Without giving Aaron any chance to respond, she retracted her body and stood up slowly, holding up the hem of her non-existent skirt and meticulously performed a skirt-lifting ceremony to Aaron, then turned and left.

But she deliberately slowed down her pace, and the few steps to the stairs seemed like a world away at this moment.

Aaron stared at her back, his heart swelled, and he didn't know whether to smile bitterly or rejoice.

She didn't say anything explicitly, but she had already given enough hints.

The engagement contract only mentioned "unchanging loyalty", but it did not mention the price of lying.

She turned around and left. She couldn't see his expression and could only hear his voice, which meant that she was willing to accept whatever he said.

At this moment, Aaron's mind was spinning rapidly, and he instantly understood her hint - she was tired and just wanted a result.

If Alice pushed him every step of the way, even if it meant death, he would not tell the truth.

Helpless, he takes soft things rather than hard ones.

"Alice." In this silent night in the hall where there were only two people, Aaron called her loudly.

Alice had already stepped up the stairs. She did not turn around and remained as still as a sculpture.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and only the faintly heard heartbeat proved the passage of time.

And in this almost frozen silence, there was only room for the almost synchronized heartbeat, which was like beating a drum, extremely fast.

All kinds of thoughts came to my mind, and finally they came together into one sentence: "You guessed it right."

The creak of the wooden stairs broke the audible silence. Alice's figure swayed silently and climbed up the stairs again.

She didn't answer, didn't turn around, and walked down the stairs as usual.

Aaron just stared at her, watching her figure gradually disappear from his sight.

No matter how Alice reacted, when he admitted it with difficulty, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Does she believe it?

still……

He heard the door creak open, and behind the footsteps was Alice's clear voice.

"Good night, Mr. Aaron."
