Emperor Fire

This is not the first time he said this sentence. The object of the words is the same person, but they are in different moods.

Dilling was startled.The Ciro in his memory is arrogant, and he still remembers the defiant attitude when they first met, as if everyone should kneel at his feet and beg for his favor.Even if the empire reunites, Ciro learns to hide his arrogance in his bones, and learns to hide his heart with a calm mask, but Ciro is still Ciro, and Dilling is very clear that some things have not changed, but have become branded, no Appear before people again.

But now, this person who exudes arrogance even in his hair actually tells his former opponent his feelings for another person in a somewhat humble tone, which has to move him.

"I think there is one thing you should know." Dilling said, "Although Soso has unlocked the seal and mastered the anger elves, because he was sealed too early and for too long, the damage to his intelligence It is irreparable. That is to say, although he has the wrath elf, his achievements in magic are very likely..." He sighed and did not continue.This is what Hyde told him just now, so when Xi Luo talked to him, he was in a bad mood.

Ciro said: "I don't think this is a problem. He will have an empire to act as his halo in the future."

Dilling was struck speechless by the confidence in his words.

"I understand what Soso means to you, but I also hope you can consider what he means to me." Siro said.

Dilling turned his face away and took a deep breath.The development of the matter caught him off guard, but he obviously did not intend to compromise like this, "I never doubted your feelings. What I consider is whether you are suitable to be together."

Ciro said: "No matter how extravagant the truth is, it is not as powerful as the facts. I need an opportunity to prove it."

"About this...I agree." Dilling turned around, "but this matter should not be decided by me."

From the beginning of the conversation to the moment when the corners of the mouth finally curved, Ciro nodded and said, "Of course."

Dilling said: "I will respect Soso's choice, if it really comes from his original intention."

What he meant was to imply that Xi Luo used other methods.It was rare for Ciro not to be angry, and he said calmly, "I won't joke about such things."

Dilling finally recovered from the shock and looked at this matter with a normal heart. "From the perspective of a bystander, I am shocked and...admired by your heart," he never thought that someone like Xi Luo would bow his proud head for others, "but Cousin Soso and the best In terms of your status as a friend, I am sincerely worried about your future." He is not very clear about the relationship between Soso and Ciro, but he is very clear about the relationship between Soso and himself.

Shiro looked at him silently.

Dilling smiled and bowed back a few steps, then turned and left.

Soso didn't sleep very long.After recovering his mental strength and perception, he felt that his spirit was much better than before, at least he didn't feel top-heavy when he woke up.

A glass of water was handed to him.

Sosuo looked at the owner of the hand along the cup.

Shiro smiled and said, "Thirsty?"

"En." Suo Suo sat upright, took a cup with both hands, took a sip, then looked around and asked, "Where's Dilling?"

Ciro's expression remained unchanged, "He is resting in the tent."

Suo Suo thought of all the things about unlocking the seal, and felt a faint burning sensation in his skin, and subconsciously shrank his shoulders.

Ciro took the cup, put his arms around his shoulders, and comforted him, "It's all over."

Suo Suo sat quietly for a while, as if he was experiencing the reality of being reborn after a catastrophe, before he said after a while: "Are Heidein and Vincent alright?"

"They're a little tired and still sleeping," Siro said.

"what time is it now?"

Ciro said, "Two o'clock in the morning."

Sosuo opened his eyes wide, "Ah? Then why haven't you slept yet?"

Ciro said: "Because I know you will wake up now."

Soso blinked and looked at him in surprise.

Ciro's face was slightly red when he was seen, and he didn't start to ask: "Are you hungry? Or sleep a little longer?"

Suo Suo said, "I can't sleep."

Ciro's fingers on Soso's shoulders tightened slightly, "In this case, let's go for a walk."

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Sosuo grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Ciro looked down at his hand grabbing his clothes, let go of his shoulders, then grabbed his hand and pulled him up, "I have something more important to do than sleep."

Soso stood up blankly.

Ciro handed him a set of wizard robes.

Soso looked at him suspiciously.

"Or do you want me to change it for you?" Shiro put one hand on the button of Soso's skirt.

Suo Suo suddenly understood what he meant, his cheeks flushed, "I can do it myself."

"I'll wait for you outside." Shiro turned and walked outside the tent.

Soso touched the robe, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.His seal has been released, so he can use fire magic in the future, right?It should be stronger than before, right?That way you can protect the people you want to protect.

"That's great." He buried his head in the mage's robe.

When he got dressed, Shiro was talking to Galen.

As if sensing his gaze, Shiro turned his head.

Suo Suo hesitated whether to walk over, but saw him beckoning to him.

"Is it cold?" Shiro took off his cloak and put it on him.

Sosuo swallowed the "not cold" that reached his mouth.

"Let's go." Xi Luo took his hand.

Seeing that Galen was still standing there, Suo Suo asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"Dinner." Shiro walked into the woods.

"Huh?" Soso turned his head and looked back. The lights in the gallon and the camp were getting smaller and smaller. "Where are you going to eat?" He turned to ask Siro, but felt two clusters of small flames beating in front of him.This is a very strange feeling, obviously invisible to the eyes, but the feeling exists so truly.He closed his eyes, and he really felt the light spots of fire elements floating around, as well as the two small fires in front of him composed of many light spots condensed together.

"Ah!" He tripped suddenly.

Shiro easily caught him.

"I'm sorry." Soso grabbed Shi Luo's hand and tried to stand up straight, but he hugged him horizontally.

Ciro hugged him, "This will make it faster."

"..." Soso buried his head in the socket of Siro's shoulder.What a shame!

This is a dining table placed among the trees, on which there is a silver candlestick with two candles stuck in it. It is not very bright, but it is more than enough to illuminate the food on the table.

Ciro put Soso down, and helped him pull out the chair himself.

Soso looked at him in amazement for a while, then walked between the chair and the table, and then the chair behind him was sent forward.

"Please sit down." Shiro said.

Soso sat down.

Shiro sat across from him.

"Just now, isn't it the etiquette for men to women?" Could it be that the etiquette of the Banding Empire is different from that of Gu Lan.

Ciro's face was hidden behind the candlestick, hazy.

"Your favorite steak," he said.

Soso's attention was attracted by the steak.He is indeed hungry.When he picked up the knife and fork and was about to start, Ciro's voice came from between the two candles again, "Drink the milk first."

"Okay." Sosuo obediently put down the knife and fork, drank half a glass of milk, and then restarted.

Soso concentrated on cutting the steak into small pieces and putting them into his mouth.

The time to eat passed quietly and comfortably.

Sosuo put the last piece of beef into his stomach before putting down his knife and fork in satisfaction.

"I hope the dinner didn't disappoint you." Ciro said.

Suo Suo hurriedly said, "It's delicious, thank you for your hospitality."

Xi Luo said: "You don't have to be so polite between me."

"...Okay." Soso felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.Because he could feel that the really polite person between them was Ciro.Oh no, it shouldn't be said to be polite, it should be said...to please?No no, he vetoed the word again.Ciro's attitude confused him.Although Shiro treated him very well before, it seems that he hasn't been so blatant...

He felt that he had finally found a vocabulary that was slightly closer to the current situation.

"Xiro, did something happen?" He couldn't help asking.

Ciro was silent for a while, "What do you think of the Ban Ding Empire?"

Suo Suo thought for a while and said, "It's a beautiful country full of vigor, er, people are very friendly..." He was at a loss for words.Because his knowledge of the Ban Ding Empire only ends at the Royal Academy of Magic.

"So, are you willing to be the master of this beautiful and vibrant country?"

"Of course not!" Suo Suo was nervous and somewhat puzzled, "I never thought about invading the empire." He didn't think he had such strength either.

There was a muffled laugh from across the table.

Soso was even more at a loss.

Ciro stood up suddenly and walked towards him step by step.

Soso looked up at him.Today's Ciro seems to be different from before, very different.It's like a piece of candy that was originally wrapped in a sugar wrapper. It is very sweet, but only a little bit is revealed through the sugar wrapper.Today, the candy wrapper was peeled off.

Ciro walked to his place and suddenly knelt down on one knee.

Suo Suo was startled, and was about to stand up, but Shi Luo grabbed his hand and kissed lightly on the back of his hand.

"Xi, Xi Luo?" Soso stammered.

"His Royal Highness Prince Soso Vantra."

"Yes!" Sosuo straightened his body.

"I, Ciro Castelon, as the crown prince of the Banding Empire, formally propose a marriage request to you. I hope that you can guard this beautiful and rich country with me, and bring peace and happiness to the friendly people. .”

"..."

Ciro didn't get an answer for a long time, and couldn't help but look up, only to find that Soso was staring at him with wide eyes, completely dumbfounded.
