May you be happy and prosperous

Early in the morning, a low-key black car slowly drove into a high-end residential area.

In the quiet and quiet community, there are old people doing morning exercises or young people who are jogging in the community. The car passes by the villas, as if deliberately not to disturb the tranquility of the morning... But at this moment, in the car, But it is a tense atmosphere completely different from the leisurely outside the car.

"Your Highness Enriel, in fact, you really don't need to accompany me down—"

"Shut up."

In the car, a kid sitting on a chair whose feet couldn't reach the ground had a serious face. After asking the people around him to "shut up" in a rather stiff tone, he heard the people around him quiet down—he paused, and there was another expression on his face. The expression of regret flashed past, then he sighed and turned around, and said in a softened voice to the person sitting beside him who was sitting up straight: "I don't worry about you going to the Wang's house alone, I know you are just a stubborn person. Soft-hearted—in case that brat from the Wang family rolls around in front of you, and your heart softens, you agree to wait for him to become an adult and then become the Wang family's phantom beast..."

The student heard that, the veil fluttered slightly with her turning head, the eyes exposed outside the veil blinked, and the drooping eyelashes concealed all the interest in the green pupils: "I won't..."

"If you can," Enriel interrupted her unhurriedly, "what should I do?"

"..."

"I can't take this risk." Seeing the disciple's silence, Enriel "hummed" and frowned and turned his head back, "So I'll go with you."

The kid next to him was too tough, and the disciple knew that he couldn't persuade him at all, so he didn't speak at all.

Today she came to formally terminate the contract with the Wang family - after the phantom beast formally terminates the contract with the original staff family, it will be able to recover its free body. From then on, it will act as an independent living body or follow the new staff. , This is the freedom of the Eudemons themselves... Logically speaking, the disciples could no longer bear Enriel's soft-heartedness and Shakya's blind-eyed support, and agreed to Enriel's agreement to sign the contract. request, but now...

"I still think it's inappropriate for His Highness to make an appointment."

"..." Enriel looked like a balloon about to explode for a moment, his chubby face was puffed up red and white, but after taking a deep breath, Tan stretched out a long He said in a tone that didn't sound like a kid his age should use, "I'll wait for you at the door."

The disciple paused, and turned his head to look at Enriel in astonishment, only to find that the latter also turned his head to look at her at the same time: "No more haggling."

"..."

The disciple nodded, and at this moment, the car had already stopped in front of a villa—the car suddenly became quiet, and Enriel bent down and grabbed a thick copy of "Summary of Royal Basic Rules of Behavior" from his school bag Putting it on my lap, I opened a page and read a few lines at random, and muttered without raising my head: "Hurry up, if they make things difficult for you, come out and tell me, let me see if I don't kill them—"

"Your Highness, please be cautious in your words and deeds. Such words are really not in line with your noble status."

"..."

"Then, I'll go."

Without waiting for the people around him to react, the student stroked the veil on his face, then opened the door, and got out of the car quietly - the moment the door was closed again, she saw the seated man through the gradually closing gap. The kid in the car threw away the heavy book on his lap with a look of irritability, and slammed the car door shut.

A certain brat's frenzied "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" burst out from inside the car.

Student: "..."

Under the veil, a helpless smile faintly appeared on the face of the awakened Eudemons who had been expressionless for many years. After shaking her head slightly, she turned around——when she faced the mansion she was once very familiar with At the entrance, the smile on her face disappeared. She came to the door in a few steps, stepped on the steps into the courtyard with one foot, and when she passed by the wall in front of the courtyard door, she suddenly stopped. .

The student lowered his head and saw the wall that had been painted white. Because of years of wind and rain, the paint was peeled off, revealing the original mottled spots on the wall—they seemed to be the traces of a fire, a large area of ​​black, faintly It reveals the breath of history...

For a moment, some complex emotions flashed in the green pupils.

However, in the next second, she withdrew her gaze, rearranged her robe, and raised her chin slightly, the calmness and indifference of the past were restored in those beautiful green pupils.

……

The students went there for about an hour.

This hour was more difficult for Enriel than listening to all kinds of babblings from the elderly speakers in class.

When he lay unconsciously on the car door, strongly resisting the urge to break his promise and jump out of the car to smash the gate of Wang's house and drag the disciples out, he endured and endured, and decided that he must eat at noon today Rewarding himself with a meal of junk food—he wants a pot of French fries, three boxes of chicken wings, and eight burgers—no one can stop him.

Enriel: "..."

Enriel: "Ahhhhhh why haven't you come out yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But at this moment, it seemed that God finally opened his eyes. Amidst the roar of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Middle Ancient Continent, he finally saw the door of the Wang family opened, and a white figure that he had been waiting for for a long time appeared in front of the door.

Enriel growled.

Joy appeared on his chubby face undisguisedly, he hurriedly opened the door and jumped out of the car——

So when the disciples came out of the Wang family mansion, they saw the kid still wearing the kindergarten uniform waving at him with joy on his face, stretching his neck and head, and turning the idiom "looking forward to" into a verb form...

The disciple turned his head and nodded slightly to the Wang family behind him who looked unwilling: "Thanks for taking care of me for so many years."

The current female head of the Wang family nodded reluctantly.

The disciple turned around again and walked down the steps. When she was about to leave the royal residence, she turned her head and took a look—for a moment, everything in front of her eyes suddenly changed, and the current luxury villa suddenly became an old mansion , her pupils narrowed slightly, fixed in place as if obsessed, watching the mottled walls he had deeply imprinted in her mind, and the fire that almost engulfed the entire old house reappeared in front of her eyes.

There are distant and real crowds clamoring around, people screaming and crying, some say "put out the fire", some say loudly and anxiously, "Young master is still inside"——

When the stake that was burning with raging flames fell.

At the gate of the ancient house, a figure finally appeared. The man was extremely embarrassed, draped in a wet quilt, and carefully hugged a bunch of coiled phantom beasts in his arms, almost dying...

He stumbled out of the flames, and fell to the ground amidst the screams of the servants. When he fell to the ground, he was still tightly protecting the phantom beast in his arms, regardless of the servants around him. Regardless of his parents' scolding and scolding, he carefully opened his arms, put the phantom beast in his arms on the ground, and gently touched its small head...

When the Eudemons opened its eyes tiredly, those green pupils would overwhelm him.

He gave a relieved expression.

"Student, it's really great that you're fine."

……

The disciple blinked and felt hot liquid slide down his cheek from the corner of his eye.

Everything in front of her eyes returned to its original appearance - the withered plants, the cold modern buildings, the fire disappeared, and the servants in simple clothes around her also disappeared. What she saw was a cold gate.

The awakened phantom beast standing there was stunned for a moment, then raised its hand and rubbed it against the corner of its own eye as if it had come to its senses, and when it turned its head, it immediately saw it standing not far away from itself, poking its head, with a thoughtful expression. Enriel wanted to pounce, but because of the embarrassment of the other bodyguards present, Enriel pounced over.

The eyes of the two met each other unexpectedly.

Enriel first frowned, and then his face sank suddenly. He came to the awakened phantom in three steps and two steps, stretched out his claws and grabbed her wrist: "Are you crying? Fuck, Those bastards of the Wang family, they actually bully you - I must take their skin off!"

"...Your Highness," the door moved his lips vividly, and was about to remind the other party to "be cautious in words and deeds" again, but after a pause, he suddenly changed his mind, and the corners of the lips covered by the light veil slightly raised, "I'm fine .”

"...Ah, are you okay?"

Enriel raised his head, looked left and right at the awakened Eudemons in front of him who didn't know how much taller than he was, and after confirming that he saw the faint smile in the opponent's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to say with emotion——

"Student, it's really great that you're fine."

The disciple was slightly taken aback.

Then Enriel's other broken thoughts rang in her ears, but she was rude enough not to listen to a word, and looked down at the chubby claws clasped on her wrist, when the warm wind blew, The plants in the community that had just recovered from hibernation were rustled by the blowing, and the fragrance of flowers hit...

[Student, even though human life is limited, no matter what, I will try my best to get back to you... Next time, I will definitely protect you. 】……

【When the time comes, please be sure to recognize me. 】

……

【Do you believe me? 】

……

I believe it.

Welcome back, master, I have been waiting for you for too long.

So, this time, please keep your promises.
