Chapter 166 Calm down
Chapter 166 Calm down
"Haha~ You're back?"
Alayya, who was holding a plate with some stains on her face, looked so cute and innocent that Riddle's restless heart was inexplicably calmed down.
Especially when he saw the steaming food on the plate, Riddle was a little surprised. He asked uncertainly, "Did you do this? For... me?" Riddle felt his heart hit hard by something again.
This was the first time in his life that someone prepared food for him personally, and this person was her, the only spouse he had chosen.
Alayya Beridel felt a little uncomfortable with such a passionate gaze, and thought that he disliked her cooking, so she turned around cautiously and tried to hide the tray out of his sight.
"I failed a bit this time, maybe I'll try harder next time~"
"No need." Riddle grabbed Alayado's tray, making her unable to move and opening his eyes wide. Wasn't he afraid of being burned? ! "I'll eat now..."
"Um, don't you feel it's hot?" Aleiya asked weakly, and Riddle looked at his hand belatedly and loosened it. He did feel pain, but it was nothing compared to the turmoil in his heart. Besides, he had done a lot of self-harm in the past.
But now he slowly spread out his palms and still got blisters from the burns. "It's okay..." Riddle's expression didn't even change, but as a person who dreams of becoming a healer, Alayya naturally would not watch him ignore his wounds.
"I'll take care of it for you..."
"Okay," Riddle answered straightforwardly, and he found a stool and sat down consciously, enjoying Alayya's care for him. The pair of eyes that were locked on the prey were always staring at her and never left.
Alaiya was a little speechless. If he wanted to treat her, why did he have to pull her to sit on his lap? He also passed through her waist from the back, as if he was surrounding her from the back. However, Alaiya's main task now was to make him stop being angry, so he did not stop him. He put his chin on her shoulder.
To be honest, his angular face rubbed her, but Alayya felt that Riddle seemed to no longer emit that depressing aura, and her breathing became smoother. She raised her hand and cast a few simple healing spells, and her palm returned to normal.
Even the thin calluses from years of holding the wand now looked much smoother. Alayya took Lidel's hand with some pride and observed it carefully, imagining that in the near future, she would be able to wear a white coat and heal the wounded, and she felt faintly excited. "It seems that Pukeqi's healing spell is really powerful~"
Riddle looked at the girl who was holding his hand. She was so lively and so attractive to him. Of course, Riddle would not let himself down anymore. He put his arms together, raised his hand, pinched Alayya's chin, and kissed her hard.
That night, Alayya's plan was a success, but also a failure. Riddle made it so that she could eat up the food she couldn't finish, and used a spell to preserve the rest so that she could eat it later.
She was not imprisoned by Riddle, but she did not return to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry or Hogwarts. She was sent to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France as an outstanding exchange student.
Because this is a girls' school, Alaia was immediately impressed by Riddle's "cleverness", who was hiding her. James and Sirius probably racked their brains but would never have thought that their brother was transferred to a girls' school.
But Riddle forgot one thing, that is, they also had a friend in this school, Lily Evans.
Alayya soon realized the meaning of the phrase "there is always a way out". So she cooperated and followed Riddle on the ferry to France.
Besides, returning to France would make her closer to England, so if she wanted to escape back, it should be easier.
The Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France is one of the three major magic academies in Europe. Their castle is a huge French palace, standing among the mountains and has a beautiful garden that makes people amazed. All the details highlight the elegance and classicism of this academy.
When Alayya looked down from her Pegasus carriage, she praised the beautiful garden and even said it was comparable to the garden at Malfoy Manor. When she was teleported to Riddle's Love Cottage next time, the garden of the country villa had suddenly expanded more than ten times, planted with all kinds of flowers, and had fountains, swings and pools, which amazed Alayya.
Now she was wearing the Beauxbatons school uniform, and her hair had grown a lot longer during this time. After being groomed by the house-elf Poppy, she no longer had a mullet, but had the hair of a real girl, waist-length and draped behind her like a waterfall.
Alaiya has always insisted that it was the house-elf who did something, but Poppy always knocked her head and "clarified" that it was not the case. She actually liked the feeling of having long flowing hair, but she felt that it was her first time going back to such a school, which was full of etiquette and systems. Would it be more formal to put her hair up?
But Riddle immediately rejected the proposal, "Just do what you like..." He ran his hands through her hair, circling it around his fingers over and over again. He asked her more than once why it always became straight? He never got tired of it.
Alayya didn't know how to answer him, so she just watched as the Dark Lord gained another quirk: he liked to smell and play with her hair.
In this way, she finally "hardly" and unbearably endured the gazes of everyone, and was helped down from the carriage by Riddle.
By the way, she had been forcing herself not to ask about what happened after the Pegasus race, for fear that something she said would cause Riddle’s dissatisfaction and make him go crazy again. Fortunately, she saw Newt and Snape in the newspaper, and she felt relieved to know that they were fine and not injured. Moreover, Snape did win a prize, although he was not the champion, but for an amateur with no background at all, it was amazing that he could get second place.
Now Alayya was full of confidence in her future life again. She could definitely find a balance. She was frantically looking for Lily Evans among those restless young girls. She had never been so eager to see her.
"You seem to be looking forward to leaving me..." Riddle's casual words instantly set off the alarm bells for Alayya. Was she being too obvious?
"Where..." Alaia touched her collarbone guiltily. There was still the mark of the Dark Lord there. She didn't know how he had managed to bite her so hard, but the mark could not be removed. It was like a brand, always reminding her of something...
“So good”
(The French Beauxbatons School is a girls' school. It's a plot arrangement.)
