The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 997 997. This pear is so sweet
After Sigana and Acerola left, Mai got up and gave Luther a painkiller.

Luther hinted at the fruit basket next to him several times with his eyes. Mai pretended not to see it at first, but Luther coughed and put his hands on his shoulders...

"Just like a child, if you are sick, you should sleep after taking medicine. Eating so many fruits with high sugar content is not good for your health."

"Just one bite..." Luther begged.

He knew that Mai would take the fruit basket with him when he left the room, so he confessed.

Before, he wanted to have a bite of sweets, so Darkley hid from the sackcloth and secretly brought back a fruit candy, but the second time Darkley didn't want to go anyway.

After careful questioning, I found out that all the elves were ordered by Mai to prevent Luther from eating indiscriminately when he was sick.

Tiburim came with a pitcher of pitch-black juice, but no matter how much she begged, the sackclothed elf wouldn't let it go.

I don't know what Tibrim was thinking, dyed the honey water black with food coloring, and tried to trick it by treating it as a dark dish?
Hunting swallowtail looked at her mouthparts, feeling that she was underestimated by Tibrim.

Not being able to control his mouth may be a problem that Luther will never get rid of.

Really unable to resist, Mai peeled another pear for Luther, fed him mouthful after mouthful, and then asked about Sigana and Acerola.

"You said before that Galar's trip might be dangerous."

Luther knew what Mai wanted to say, and explained: "According to my arrangement, they will not be in danger, the danger will only be with me."

"They all go to the gym, what's the difference?"

Seeing that the pear meat in the sackcloth bowl was getting less and less, Luther smiled slyly: "Two pears, I will say."

When Mai heard this, she also laughed. She picked up the last piece of flesh with a toothpick and shook it in front of Luther, but she didn't feed it to him, but bit it lightly with her teeth.

He didn't eat the sackcloth, but let Luther watch.

"Bullying the patients!" Luther felt aggrieved, "I tormented myself to get sick because of the island..."

Mai's smiling face suddenly lowered and moved closer to Luther.

A burst of pleasant aroma rushed towards his face. Looking at the flesh of the pear, Luther subconsciously opened his mouth slightly.

The hair was sprinkled gently on Luther's face, and the scent of the good shampoo became more intense.

"The shampoo recommended by Junnai should buy more..." Luther thought.

The pulp had already slipped into Luther's mouth unconsciously, but Luther had no time to chew it.

Mai's lips were soft, and this unexpected but heart-pounding moment would always make Luther's heart beat wildly.

Darkley huddled in the shadows, and he decided that the next time the two were alone, he immediately ran to the outside door to stand guard, and he could not stay in the room for life or death.

I don't know why, but at this moment his mind actually recalled that damn fat blue man.

He vaguely remembered that when Luther and Mai were alone, the fat blue man liked to stick around the room as an obtrusive light bulb.

I didn't expect it to be my turn today!

Mai got up as if nothing had happened, and stroked her messy hair.

"Why don't you tie it up, it should be troublesome if you let it loose like this?"

Mai said angrily: "It's not that you said you like this look, I wouldn't like that either."

While chewing the pulp, Luther raised his hands to show that he had said something wrong.

"Inform Ron for me, come to the room tonight when no one is around, and I can talk to him."

Mai nodded and closed the door, leaving Luther to savor the delicious pear meat.

"This pear is so sweet."

Time passed very quickly for a person who was bedridden and sleeping soundly. When Luther was awakened by Darkley again, Ron had already sat down in front of Luther's bed.

Mai asked Ron what he wanted to drink, but Ron waved him down.

Ron has always done things like this. When it comes to formal work, he will try not to accept the services provided by the other party.

"Torturing yourself like this will break your body sooner or later." Ron couldn't help sighing.

Luther had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "If you don't do this, I can still be sandwiched between the Sinnoh Alliance and the Galar Alliance, preventing your two alliances from rolling forward?"

"For the alliance, I'm just a small character. If I want to shake an alliance, it's beyond my control. Now that I know that I can't control myself, I can only hide aside and take refuge."

Ron didn't answer Luther's words, he asked: "What I said in the morning, do I need to repeat it?"

"No need, you said it wasn't a moral kidnapping, but actually, after thinking about it... it still kind of smells like that."

"Indeed, but the position requires me to say this, what would you do if you were in my position?"

Luther was silent. He knew that this matter could not be judged as right or wrong.

Even Sigana and Acerola knew that this incident could be summed up as a matter of face.

Ordinary people lose face when they lose face. For a behemoth like the Alliance, face is reputation and the embodiment of the right to speak.

If you lost it by yourself, find a way to clean it up, that's all.

But this time, it was uncovered by others.

The Sinnoh Alliance doesn't care who Galar used to stab himself, Sirona's apprentice, Kikuno's apprentice?
None of this matters.

The most important thing is that flimsy face that ordinary people can laugh off.

Galar stepped on me today, and he didn't pay the price. When there is a violent turmoil next time, won't everyone think of the Sinnoh Alliance?

"Is there any condition for me to tell the Sinnoh Alliance?"

Luther sneered and said, "I didn't intend to go to Galar, I asked you to come today, I just didn't want to hide it from you."

Ron shook his head: "You missed a promise from the Shenao Alliance, which was an additional condition when you bought the island."

"You were talking about a mission in the open sea, and the target was only vicious outlaws!" Luther coughed as he said, "But this time it's an alliance. If I hit it alone, I'm afraid I'll be smashed to pieces."

Ron signaled to Luther not to be so excited for the time being, and he was relieved to speak when Luther had recovered his breath.

"You have to know that the sale of Qi Dao is controversial within the alliance. There are many people who support you, so they have no momentum. But once they make a fuss about this promise, they will make a fuss about Qi Dao."

Ron was also very helpless about this, and he couldn't help sighing after finishing speaking.

Suddenly, he noticed that the eyes of Luther and Mai were not right.

"what happened?"

Mai looked at Luther, and said lightly: "I'm afraid there is no need to make a fuss about this promise, they are already thinking about Qi Island."

"Not long after I went to the island today, Luther's apprentice, Sigana, heard someone in the upper echelons making a horse race on the island."

Luther went on to say: "Look, whether I agree or not, they are all planning to live on the island. What's the difference?"
