Emperor Fire

Soso followed Gallon to behind Ciro.

Ciro was talking about tomorrow's game with those senior students, without even turning his head, he just waved his hands.

Gallon turned around and led Soso to another road.

Suo Suo asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?"

"Go back to His Highness's residence." Gallen said.

Suo Suo said: "But you are the captain of Xi Luo's guard, so it's okay to leave his side like this?"

Galen turned to look at him and said, "I am the captain of the Guards, and I am also a member of the Guards. I am not much different from every team member. Except that I am on duty longer than them."

Soso apologized: "I didn't mean to belittle the Guards."

"I understand." On the way back from Santu to the Banding Empire, Galen already had a general understanding of Soso.

The two returned to Shiro's villa.

Gallon found the medicine box, took out a small grass-green bottle and said, "It contains holy water blessed with the divine power of light, which is very effective for wounds."

Suo Suo said: "Thank you." He said, rolled up his sleeves obediently, and then looked up at Galen.

Gallon put the bottle in front of him, took a step back and said, "Please do your own thing."

"Oh, good." Soso opened the bottle cap, carefully dripped two drops on his arm, and then gently pushed it away with his fingers.After a while, the bruise really subsided.

Gallen said: "I'm going to ask His Royal Highness to prepare afternoon tea, please sit down."

"Okay." Soso is used to sitting in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows in Shiro's bedroom in the afternoon, basking in the sun, eating some refreshments, and taking a nap by the way.

So as soon as Shiro came back, he saw him sleeping on the sofa with his neck tilted.The sleeves of the school uniform and shirt were pulled up high, revealing the white and tender arms.The tea in front of me has only been eaten for two fast, and there is still half a cup of milk tea, which is already cold.

Galen whispered in his ear all the actions of Soso after entering the house.

Ciro nodded, raised his hand and used wind magic to hook the thin blanket on the bed into his hand, gently draped it over Soso's body, then turned and went out.

Gallon stood outside waiting.

"Go get Frank over here." Ciro said.

"Yes."

Frank couldn't think of a reason why Ciro called him suddenly.Although Hayden was his savior and the two had been in social contact, there was never any record of any interaction between him and the mysterious crown prince.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He stood respectfully at the door of the study, hesitating whether to go in or not.

Ciro looked up from the book, "Please come in, and close the door by the way."

Frank did so.The small space made his heartbeat very clear.

"You are Earl Richard's..."

"The eldest grandson." When Frank said, his chin slightly raised, with a proud expression.

Ciro nodded and said, "I admire Earl Richard very much. He has always been the queen mother's loyal partner."

This sentence is exaggerated.

The Richard family, like Queen Samantha's Trozzo family, is one of the most prominent families in the empire.They have an equally long and proud history, and in the process of making it, the two families have had an inevitable relationship.But if it is said to be a loyal partner... it is a bit exaggerated.

But Frank did not refute.In any case, it would be irrational to argue against the favor of an empress and a crown prince.

Ciro continued slowly: "And you are Hayden's close friend." Hayden would probably not agree with this point.At least in Hayden's definition, Frank is at most a very cute kid, far from being a close friend.

But for Frank, such a definition is very pleasing.His face couldn't help but light up.

"So I trust you." Ciro said, "Just like I trust them."

Frank's mind suddenly woke up from the joy, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation."

The battle within the royal family is no secret to the imperial nobles.So he immediately realized in his heart that the crown prince in front of him was determined to take himself and the family behind him under his wings.This kind of thing is not unheard of.In fact, Emperor Castaron II has spared no effort in this matter, but Earl Richard has been fooled by various methods of pretending to be confused every time.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to start with himself?

He couldn't help but tense up.Choosing a side is not a wise thing to do now.The Richard family is not the Trozzo family, and they have not much to do with the crown prince's interests.In other words, there is no benefit or harm to them whether the crown prince can last until the end and sit on the throne of the emperor of the empire.The family has always taken a neutral attitude towards the two royal camps.

He absolutely cannot drag his family into the water at this time.

Although the Royal Academy of Magic belongs to the power of the Crown Prince, and although he is currently devoting himself to the Royal Academy of Magic, it is different from his joining the Crown Prince's camp. He believes that if he really joins the Crown Prince without his grandfather's consent , then Earl Richard is likely to deprive him of his inheritance in order to preserve the interests of the family.

The larger the family, the lighter the family affection is considered.

Countless thoughts flashed through Frank's mind in an instant.

"I have one thing I want to ask you." Seero didn't seem to notice his changing expression, and said indifferently, "This matter is of great importance, and no one else should know it."

"Your Highness!" Frank raised his head and said in an extremely serious tone, "I think your decision to entrust me with such an important task is too hasty."

Siro said, "Do you know what the mission is?"

Frankish suffocation.

Ciro said expressionlessly: "You will know soon."

"Your Highness! Tomorrow is the game. I think that no matter what happens, we should wait until the game is over."

Ciro said: "But the task I gave you is related to tomorrow's game."

Frank was stunned, "But Your Highness..."

Ciro interrupted him directly, saying: "I hope you can protect Prince Gu Lan's Soso with all your strength in tomorrow's match."

Frank asked blankly, "Prince Gu Lansuo?"

Siro said, "It's the transfer student Mike."

Frank was stunned for ten seconds before exclaiming, "Mike is Prince Soso of Gu Lan?"

Ciro said: "At the same time, I also hope that you can keep this secret."

"...Yes." Frank didn't know how to think anymore.The shock was too great for him.Although the truth of Gulan's succession of thrones was tightly sealed by its new king and queen, other countries still got wind of it.

So, what he is involved in now may not be the battle of the empire, but the national struggle of the mainland?

Ciro patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "I believe you can handle this properly."

Frank knew that no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't shirk this task.After all, Mike, oh no, Soso is not only his classmate, but also a member of the Tulip Legion in name.

Walking out of Ciro's villa, Frank felt dizzy in his head. Many lines turned into a big thread, and then lay across the center of his mind, suppressing his thoughts underneath, completely unable to think correctly.

"Hey!"

He was tapped hard on the shoulder.Frank jumped up, and a fireball instantly condensed in the palm of his hand.

Patrick was startled, and stared at him with wide eyes, "What do you want to do?"

"Me?" Frank looked at the familiar expression on Patrick's familiar face, as if he had just returned to reality in an instant, dispelled the fire element, and said with a stiff face: "It's nothing."

Patrick hugged him suddenly, and whispered, "I've thought about the question you asked me before."

"what?"

"It's you who said I was to Mike..." Patrick scratched his cheek.

Frank's face tightened, "How do you treat So... how do you treat Mike?"

"It's okay." Patrick said, "I thought about it seriously, it should be just ordinary friends. You know I admire Marshal Hayden very much. So it should be impossible for me to have any love for him or something... No, it should be said that it is absolutely impossible, absolutely not!"

The corner of Frank's mouth moved, and he nodded after a while and said, "Well, I don't think so either."

Patrick's eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "You think it's impossible, too? Haha, how is it possible? By the way, where did you go just now? Why did you come from the single-person house?"

"Me? Me, it's nothing, I just go there for a stroll..." Frank noticed that Patrick was a little absent-minded, and turned his head to look in the direction of his gaze.Just in time to see Otis walking slowly from the road he walked before.

……

Wouldn't he see himself coming out of Ciro's villa?

Frank thought nervously.In fact, it was not a big deal for him to go to see Xi Luo, but because he had a secret in his heart, he felt guilty, wishing that everyone would not know that he had been there.

But Odis didn't stop, and passed by without looking sideways.

"What's the fuss?" Patrick stared at Otis's back in displeasure, "Tomorrow is the game, and you'll know if you're a genius or a fool."

Frank said: "Forget it, let's study tomorrow's tactics." With such a heavy mission on his shoulders, he really couldn't do it this time if he didn't study hard.The thought of Suo Suo having an accident under his protection made his scalp tingle.

Shiro went back to the bedroom.

The sun was westward, and the sun could only find Soso's toes.

As if feeling the staring gaze, he moved his eyelids, slowly opened his eyes, first stared at the person standing beside the sofa looking down at him in a daze, and then suddenly sat up straight, "You're back ?”

Shiro smiled and said, "Did you sleep well?"

"Very good." Sosuo moved his stiff body, then stood up holding the blanket, put it on the bed, and folded it up carefully. "Thank you for the blanket and the refreshment."

"Are you hurt?"

"Okay." He folded the blanket and rubbed his eyes secretly.

Ciro said: "Tomorrow is the game, are you worried?"

Suo Suo said: "I will do my best."

"No need." Ciro said lightly, "The only thing you have to do is to protect yourself."

Suo Suo tilted his head, suddenly smiled and said, "Your tone was a bit like Dilling just now."

Ciro walked up to him slowly, put his hand on the top of his hair, rubbed it lightly and said, "I'm Ciro Castalon."
