return to the throne

Adrian sat next to Carlos and waited for the soup.

Originally living in Blackstone Castle, he didn't feel that a bowl of hot soup was delicious, and even because he was too worried about Pallister's attack, he couldn't eat for several days and couldn't sleep well.But at this moment, he only wished that the soup would cook faster so that it could be used to drive away the coldness around him.

"Is it cold?" Carlos looked at Adrian who was huddled together, and thoughtfully took off his cloak and put it on him.

"You wear less clothes than me." Adrian wanted to refuse uncomfortably.

"I am more angry than you, and I am in better health than you." Carlos held his hand, "Put on well, Adrian, it will be bad if you get sick."

Hearing what he said, Adrian had no choice but to put on Carlos' cloak. The thick cloak still carried Carlos' body temperature, blocking the cold outside.

The hare soup was ready, although Big Henry chopped the hare meat until it was very pulpy, and Mei added too much water to it, but in the end everyone got a few pieces of meat, served with black bread and beef jerky, and it was already their time. The best food available and nearly all enjoyed the meal with gratitude.

After dinner, it was time to go to bed. Adrian was exhausted. His knight helped him set up the tent, and May made the bed for him. As soon as she finished all this, Adrian lay on it. not moving.

However, at this moment, singing came from outside the tent.

"Who is singing?" Adrian opened his eyes and asked curiously.

May poked her head out.

After a while she came back, her face flushed, "Oh my god, prince, it's so lively outside, come and see."

Adrian shrank back into the bed. After such a long and exhausting day, he instinctively didn't want to leave the bed, but the noise outside didn't seem to subside, and the singing was always around his ears.Finally, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, put on his coat and went out.

The bonfire in the camp was burning, and the hares were around the fire, laughing and making noises. They were having a carnival with wine, some of them were doing acrobatics, and some were performing swordplay.On one side, the knights belonging to Adrian watched enviously and cautiously.

"Come on! Brother! Let's drink together!" The hares warmly invited the knights after drinking.

At the beginning, the knights seemed to be a bit reserved—since the leader of the Knights, Fay Newcastle, stayed in Black Rock City, the deputy leader, Van Dilik, took over his position and became the chief guard of the prince. Politely reject the hare's invitation, but no matter how cruel the person is, they can't stand the hare's repeated overtures. Finally, a knight couldn't stand the temptation of the wine, and took their wine glass. You and I chat loudly together.

Adrian came out and saw such a picture. Everyone was sitting together in twos and threes talking about it. The scene was eager and unrestrained. He frowned and subconsciously searched for Carlos in the crowd.

Then he was surprised to find that at this moment, the man was actually sitting in the middle of the crowd, drinking and frolicking with their soldiers. He had no airs of a king at all, and was playing a harp in his hand, making a melodious sound .

And beside him, Rika was singing loudly.

"The new sprouts in the forest are full of spring~"

"I'm waiting for my love~"

"Now the forest is verdant and dense~"

"Why hasn't my lover come back yet? Ah!"

"He has ridden away~"

"Then who else will love me~ah!" (from Bran's song)

"It's too bad, get out!" Carlos laughed when Rika finished howling, "Seriously, Rika, I've never heard such a bad song, you've ruined my piano skills!"

Rika refused to accept, "If you can't hear the beauty of my singing, it must be because you have never studied art. My singing is unmatched. If you hadn't insisted on letting me be your counselor, I am now Must be a poet and not a minister!"

"Blow yourselves! You can't be a poet, you can only juggle, and I'll be happy to pay you to perform in the palace!"

"Bah! To hell with you, Carlos!"

Carlos saw Adrian's figure sharply.

"Adrian, do you want to come and sit?" He pushed Rika away and patted the empty seat beside him, "Come on, come to me."

Adrian hesitated for a moment. He didn't really want to sit next to Carlos. He regretted leaving the tent now, but Carlos kept looking at him with a smile, and finally he walked over slowly.

Carlos put down the harp and poured him a glass of wine. A sweet smell spread instantly, and Adrian reached out to take the glass. "Thanks."

He took a sip, then coughed violently.

Adrian looked at the wine glass in his hand in disbelief. The bright red liquid in the glass had a layer of golden light under the light of the fire, shining brightly on people's eyes. Judging from the appearance alone, this glass of wine seemed to be nothing like ordinary wine Different, no one would think that the taste of it is like a burning fire.

The wines of the Black Dragon Country are always sweet and smooth. Even if you drink too much, you won't feel dizzy. However, this glass of wine is different. Some of them turned red and their mouths were dry. Before that, he had no idea that wine could be so strong.

"The taste is very unusual, isn't it?" Rika was a little proud, "Dear Your Highness, our Celtic continent can't brew such fine wine. This is a fine wine brought back from the eastern continent by our merchant ships. It is hard to find. , and only a regiment like the hare can enjoy it exceptionally."

"This taste...is really special." Adrian said.

He is fully awake now.

Carlos laughed, "You can have a few more sips, Adrian, it's a bit irritating at first, but after you taste it carefully, you will like the mellow taste of this wine."

"I'll give it a try." Adrian replied politely.

He drank a few more sips, and watched the crowd continue to talk loudly in silence. They seemed to have endless happy things to talk about, as endless as a group of noisy sparrows.It has to be said that Carlos is very concerned about his feelings and often brings the topic to him, but Adrian can't be as talkative as he is, basically asking and answering.

The scene quickly cooled down.

Adrian was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know whether he should continue to sit here, because of his existence, the people around him seemed to be a little bit reluctant, and the originally lively atmosphere gradually calmed down, Adrian noticed this , suddenly moved his body uncomfortably, and he keenly discovered the gap between himself and Carlos at the moment.

In terms of leadership, Adrian is far less popular than Carlos.

Rika stood up suddenly, "I'm going to compete with them!" It turned out that the soldiers in front were unwilling to compete verbally, and started a live competition, and a group of people kept booing around.

Carlos looked in that direction, "It seems interesting there, do you want to go and have a look?"

"No, I'll just sit here." Adrian had no interest in fighting.

Carlos said thoughtfully, "Then talk to me, otherwise it's meaningless for us to sit here."

Adrian agreed.

Carlos smiled, "To be honest, I was a little surprised when you appeared here just now. I thought you were asleep."

"I really planned to go to bed, but I decided to come out after hearing your voices." Adrian replied honestly, "Are you so lively every night?"

"During the rest, yes, we are not marching now, so we don't need to be so serious." Carlos said, "I don't know how you black dragon soldiers spend your nights, but the predecessor of the hare is a recruited mercenary, everyone likes it Let's sit together and drink and chat."

"It's pretty good." Adrian watched his guard chief Van Dilic take off his armor and compete with the hare, with a cheerful smile on his face, "I've never seen Dilic so lively. when."

"Oh." Carlos took the time to take a look, "He's drunk."
