Chapter 154 New Situation
Chapter 154 New Situation
Alayah's treatment for this trip was even better. There was a fleet of cars specifically responsible for picking her up and dropping her off. If she was received cautiously by only Lucius last time, this time it was received by the entire Death Eaters, as if her becoming the Dark Lord's wife was a foregone conclusion.
Alayya nervously got into the luxurious and domineering carriage, and followed the mountain path to the Malfoy family's estate in the United States. If nothing unexpected happened, this estate used to grow cotton. Even now, there are still many cotton fields, and some sheep and cows are grazing on the grass not far away.
There is a statue in the center of the manor, which looks like a "distinguished" head of the Malfoy family, more likely the guy in the most emerging period of the slave trade. But soon the sculpture here will be changed to Riddle and a lady.
Lucius only sent her to the castle gate, and the other Death Eaters also seemed to be retreating. Alayya suddenly felt like Belle in Beauty and the Beast, who was about to meet the master of the beast.
She knew that the road ahead was full of uncertainty, fear, and danger, but there was no way out, and she would have to face it sooner or later. So she took a deep breath and opened the door.
As soon as she entered the room, she was shocked by the magnificent crystal chandelier, the Rococo murals and stained glass. Alaia thought she had come to a museum. Then a servile house elf appeared beside her and led her to Riddle's room.
Alayya was very nervous, because even though she knew Riddle was injured, she did not show any reaction, not even writing him a letter, let alone visiting him. During that time, except for the nights when she would think of that guy's "entanglement", she spent every day happily.
On the contrary, it was Riddle who always sent her gifts as Peter's relative, such as expensive jewelry, rare cakes, or some strange little gadgets, which made Sirius and the others jealous.
So Alayya had to lie and say that she had a brother who was a rich second-generation adventurer, but they all believed it!
Now, with every step she took, Alaia was thinking about how she should explain to Riddle that she had not replied to his letter when she met him later, or should she give him a gift now? Alaia lowered her head and fumbled for a long time, only to find a hairband made of dragon tendons given to her by Newt, a dog tooth necklace given to her by Sirius (his own), and a deer antler whistle given to her by James.
Oh, by the way, there is also a keychain she knitted with wool, which is so fluffy and cute. She originally wanted to give it to Lily Evans as a thank-you gift. She gave Beyonce a bottle of French perfume and she needed to return it, but because she has a childlike personality, she couldn't give her expensive things, only this cute little thing.
But, Alayya stared at the pink, purple and white fur ball pendant and lamented why she hadn't used black as the base color? The Dark Lord used such a cute little thing? He would kill her -
Alaia, with a frown on her face, finally arrived at Riddle's room. She hadn't even thought of a good way to explain herself before the house-elf used magic to send her into Riddle's arms.
At this moment, Riddle was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking at a long parchment scroll, and drawing circles with a feather pen in his hand. He was dressed very casually in a dark green silk robe. Although he was sitting at the desk, he inexplicably felt as lazy as if he was lying in bed.
Alayya fell straight from above his head into his arms. Riddle seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time, or he had long been accustomed to her "unexpected arrival" in his sleep. Sometimes it was when he was in class, sometimes when he was taking a shower, and sometimes in the library.
So Riddle naturally threw away the parchment in his hand, folded his arms, hugged Alayya's waist and held her close to himself, captured her chin with one hand, bent down and kissed her, bringing a long-lost and familiar intimacy.
Alaiya could only open her eyes wide, staring in horror at the guy's glasses hitting her nose. Did he still think it was a dream? She did feel that this feeling was very familiar. Their beautiful dreams unfolded like this...
But not today! This is not a dream. The Dark Lord has been acting abnormally lately. He actually wants to marry her. Alayya feels that she needs to keep a distance from him.
"Mmmm... Stop, this is not good!" She pushed Riddle's face away, but couldn't push away his hot arms. Riddle licked the corner of his lips subtly, and Alayya was so scared that she thought the person in front of her was Little Barty, but it was impossible. Little Barty would not appear here.
"Not good?" Riddle's words made Alaia gasp. The angry and majestic question really made Alaia feel her body temperature drop. She didn't dare to look into his eyes. "Who is that... every night..."
Riddle just said the rest of the words briefly, but when he saw Alayya's blushing face, his tone rose noticeably. Wasn't she shy?
"Um...what do you mean by calling me here? Why did Lucius Malfoy say you wanted to...marry..." Alaia wanted to end it quickly, but Riddle did not explain it to her directly, nor did he explicitly say that he wanted to marry her.
Instead, he pulled a newspaper on the table and said, "I need... a female companion..." Alayya looked in the direction of his finger and saw the words "Magic Pegasus World Championship" written on it. What kind of competition is this and why are there so many weird competitions?
But if you think about it carefully, the wizarding world is indeed a bit boring. There are always people who want to liven up the world, just like the Guinness World Records in the future. There are many boring records but there are always people who enjoy them.
This Pegasus Championship is probably similar to a horse race, right? A thought flashed through Alayya's mind. The huge wings of the white Pegasus fan looked very sacred. She really wanted to see it.
No, did she forget something?
"You are in need of a female companion, why are you looking for me?" As soon as the words came out, Riddle's mouth, which had just risen, sank again, and his eyes were also a little threatening and impatient. "Who do you want me to look for?"
Riddle's cold look made Alayya feel as if her neck was being strangled by an invisible big hand. Was he angry?
"Um... Bellatrix?" Alayya remembered that she liked the Dark Lord very much. No, she loved the Dark Lord madly!
"Bella...Tricks?" Riddle's eyes narrowed slightly, and every syllable he uttered seemed to be bitten between his lips and teeth. "She, who is she..." Can she be his female companion?
But this reminded Riddle that he really needed to deal with the woman who disgusted him -
