Emperor Fire

"Although my seal has been released, I feel that magic alone is not enough to protect the empire." Soso was worried, "I don't think I have enough ability to support such a major responsibility."

Hyde said: "Is this your trouble?"

Soso nodded.

Hyde said: "Most nobles in the Banding Empire will have such troubles, but you are different from them in one thing."

Soso didn't understand.

"You are the prince of Gu Lan."

Soso nodded again.He is well aware of his identity.

"You have the right to choose." Hyde said, "Accept or reject. So, what you should worry about now is whether to make such a choice."

Sosuo parroted: "Have you made such a choice?"

Hyde said, "Marry Ciro."

Soso's eyes widened suddenly.

"Or not."

Soso's eyes were still round.

Heide said: "Of course, it doesn't rule out that Ciro wants to take revenge on all those who supported him and choose to marry you."

Soso: "..."

"It doesn't matter which choice you make, it's your life, and you are responsible for it. The only request I ask of you is..." Heiden said in a deep voice, "Stay honestly in bed when you sleep."

Suo Suo looked distressed, "But I can't sleep."

"So I just ask you to stay on the bed, not to let you die on the bed." Hyde raised his eyebrows, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Soso thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Very good. Now, turn back." Heiden stretched out his fingers and made a spinning motion.

Soso turned around obediently.

Heiden said, "Go forward."

"I think..." Suo Suo wanted to say something, but his body was blown into the tent by a gust of wind.

Hyde turned around in satisfaction, and was about to enter the tent when he saw Suo Suo's head suddenly appearing from the next tent, looking at him eagerly.

"Benefactor..." Soso called softly.

Heiden said calmly, "Is there something else?"

Suo Suo said, "If you were me, what would you choose?"

"This assumption is not valid, I will never be you." Heiden retorted without thinking.

Soso still stared at him expectantly.

"I can only say that I don't like Ciro, but he likes you." Heiden twitched the corners of his lips and lifted the curtain into the tent.

Sosuo sat on the edge of the tent curtain with his head in his hands, ready to continue to meditate.

Removing the responsibility of the Ban Ding Empire, is there a choice between staying or not staying?

To stay is to go with Shiro.

If you don't stay, you just go with Dilling.

He rested his arms on his pillow and... fell asleep.Probably because of his posture, he didn't sleep soundly, even frowning in his dream.So when a pair of hands picked him up from the ground, he woke up immediately.

"Xiro..." He stared at the visitor's chin in bewilderment.

Ciro lowered his head and kissed his forehead very naturally, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." He put him on the bed.

Sosuo moved in subconsciously, freeing up half of the bed.

Shi Luo pursed his lips and smiled, and lay down beside him, then reached out and hugged his waist.

Soso hugged him back and buried his head in his arms.

Ciro rubbed his nose against his hair and whispered, "Come with me."

Suo Suo was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he just rubbed his forehead lightly against him.

Is this... a promise?Shiro closed his eyes contentedly.

When Heidein, Dilling, Xi Luo, and Soso came out of the tent, Pan was preparing lunch.

Vincent looked at them teasingly while chewing on the bread that he brought in from Pan, "Breakfast is really superfluous."

Hyde said: "So I can call you breakfast next time?"

Vincent swallowed the bread and snorted coldly, "I don't know who ran over eagerly and begged me for help."

Heide said: "Isn't it because breakfast is too incompetent to solve the problem, so it dragged the matter to me?"

Vincent swallowed the whole loaf in one gulp, showing his refusal to talk to someone.

Dilling took Soso away from Siro's side without a trace, looked him up and down several times, and then asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"

Suo Suo thought that Heide had told him that he wandered outside his tent yesterday, so he hurriedly said, "Yes."

Dilling's face tightened, "What did Ciro do?"

Suo Suo said: "He invited me to protect the empire together."

Dilling was stunned.Could it be that Ciro is going to take a roundabout way to keep Soso in the empire first?

"Ah. Also, the marriage request." Suo Suo added.

Di Lin: "..." After a while, he closed his mouth wide open, and raised his head to meet Xi Luo's gaze.

The four eyes meet, everything is in silence.

He asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "What's your decision?"

Sosuo said angrily: "I haven't thought of it yet. I fell asleep too early yesterday."

Dilling patted him on the shoulder, "No hurry."

Seeing that their conversation had come to an end, Xi Luo came over and took Soso to a seat for dinner.

The dining table is very quiet.

Wen Sen occasionally wanted to say a few words, but seeing Hai Deyin's face, he dismissed the idea again.

As the meal drew to a close, Dilling wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said to Suo Suo who had swallowed the last bite of steak: "Heidein and I have decided to leave tomorrow."

Ciro's hand holding the wine glass shook slightly, his eyes fixed on Soso.

"Ah? Leave so early?" Suo Suo was very distressed.

Ciro said softly, "Shamanlier and the Banding Empire are not very far away, and it's very convenient to go back and forth."

Dilling glanced at Ciro silently, and said to Suo Suo in a slow tone: "Are you going to follow me back to St. Padres College, or...stay in the Ban Ding Empire?"

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Vincent's depression eased.Because he saw a good show going on.

Soso frowned, his eyes flicked back and forth between Xi Luo and Di Lin.

Ciro gently put down the wine glass, because the wine in the glass was shaken too much by him.

"I think..." Soso said slowly.

Ciro and Dilling both looked at him.

Suo Suo's brows slowly relaxed, and said to Di Lin, "I'm sorry."

……

Dilling looked at him in surprise.

Shiro let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Vincent raised an eyebrow at Hydein.

Hyde continued to eat the salad expressionlessly as he ignored it.

"Although I know it will bring you trouble," Soso looked at Dilling seriously and guiltily, "but I still want to be with you."

This is his wish since childhood, to live with Dilling.If he has children, I can help him take care of the children.If he has a wife, he can have dinner with their family on weekends.The picture of them together is so clear that it completely overwhelms the territory of the Ban Ding Empire that was entrenched in his mind in the early morning.

He made a decision, and his body suddenly relaxed.

But the other people's world was silent for three seconds for this answer.

Dilling showed a big smile, "No. I'm glad you made such a decision."

Although he saw Xi Luo's kindness to Soso and didn't think it was just a joke, but the environment Xi Luo was in was too dangerous, and a simple person like Soso was not suitable for such an environment.Therefore, his rationality forced him to respect Soso's decision, but in his heart he was still very unwilling to see Soso really stay for Ciro.

Suo Suo said: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you and uncle."

Dilling raised his glass, lightly touched the empty milk glass, and said with a smile, "We are brothers."

Soso held the milk glass with both hands.

In good time, Gallon stepped up to help him fill up the milk.

Suo Suo took a big gulp and was about to put it down when he saw Xi Luo handing the glass to him.

"I wish you a good journey." Shi Luo's wine glass touched his glass lightly.

Soso stared blankly at his peaceful smile.

Ciro drank the wine with a smile, then put down his glass and stood up, nodded to Heidein and Dilling and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I have to leave the table first. Take your time, everyone." He put the napkin on the table Go up, turn and leave without looking back.

Soso's heart suddenly shrank.Suddenly there was a premonition in my mind that when Ciro left this time, the two would never see each other again.

"Suoso?" Di Lin called softly.

Soso turned around.

Di Lin stared blankly at his flushed eyes, "You..."

Suo Suo said, "Will we come to the Empire in the future?"

Di Lin nodded gently and said, "Of course. You can come when the college is on holiday."

Suo Suo suddenly pushed his chair away and jumped up, "I'll go tell Ciro!"
