magician of beasts

"Hey, the Duke of West Asia invited Prince Shelfis to dance?" A nobleman looked at the person beside him.

The man paused for a moment: "...I think you read it right." He rubbed his forehead, "Of course, I very much hope that we fell into hallucinations together."

"It's the Duke of West Asia..."

"Is this indicating something?"

"The actions of the Duke of West Asia are always so incomprehensible..."

In fact, on this continent, couples of the same gender are also very common, and some of them are even given special titles—such as accompanying fighters. However, the identities of these two people are very different at present.

The status of the Duke of West Asia in Landesko is very special. I believe that no one knows how embarrassing it is to be a Duke without family support, but at the same time, he is also daunting.

I still remember the goblin riots belonging to Landesco 15 years ago. They were originally one of the best construction craftsmen, but because they were instigated, they took a strike and hollowed out the foundations of many tall buildings, causing many buildings to collapse. There were countless casualties. The Duke of West Asia was just a down-and-out illegitimate son at the time, but he already possessed good strength, so he accepted the country's call to join the army, and fully demonstrated the qualities necessary for a soldier in the frontal battle with the goblins - resolutely execute orders And never hesitate to start.

After he killed more than a hundred goblin heads, he became the captain of a team. Then, he led the members of the team to buy a lot of kerosene, dug a goblin passage under another destroyed building, and filled it with kerosene. , and then a fire directly burned tens of thousands of goblins under the ground, and then burned more than 28 goblins to death in the same way, and led people to block the exit of goblins, chasing and killing the remnants. God, the goblins have almost been wiped out, and they have been given the title of "Captain Blood"... Afterwards, every time there was a riot by aliens or a small country on the border of Landesco, he would take the lead. He is a magician with natural power, so even if he has no fighting spirit, his combat power is far superior to other magicians of the same level. Taking the region with the largest number of beheads—the fief name "West Asia" he was given as his surname, he was allowed to create his own family—although he has not yet revealed his will.His code name was changed to "Bloody Duke", but he didn't dare to call him that in person, he just called him "Duke of West Asia"... Although he is only [-] years old this year, he has already gone through a hundred battles, and all honors are bestowed by the king. Loyalty is given only to His Majesty the King.

This is such a person. In the early years, because his reputation on the battlefield was too terrifying and his foundation was not deep, many nobles were on the sidelines. When he had the title of fief and duke, the nobles rushed to him, hoping to marry him. ——The aristocrats and ladies are also happy to do this. The Duke of West Asia is so favored by His Majesty. Who would not want to be the head mother of a new family that is about to be created and can foresee a strong future?

However, the Duke of West Asia rejected all of them with an absolutely firm attitude.

The Duke of West Asia doesn't like to attend banquets, and even rarely goes out except for military training in the army, and basically has no acquaintances, and never joins any circles. His Majesty the King has repeatedly praised his loyalty and frankness.In the words of the nobles, he is a knife in the hands of His Majesty the King. Although it is sharp, many people want to put a sheath on him—of course, the sheath of their own family.

However, all this was broken by the returning Prince Shelfis.

Prince Shelfis, after reaching the age where he could learn Dou Qi, announced that he would strive for life to become a powerful warrior, and gave up his right to inherit the throne. In the same year, he left the palace. Five years later, the fifth prince returned and became a fourth-level fighter. He announced that he had found a teacher and would follow him to study. After leaving this time, he would return to the palace every six months to visit His Majesty the King and Queen, he missed all court education, and has lost all possibility of inheriting the throne. Therefore, although His Majesty the King was furious, he also let him work hard to become a strong warrior.Once at the king's banquet, he met the Duke of West Asia. The two became friends and maintained a normal relationship. But what people didn't expect was that this time - the first ball held by the fifth prince On the day, the Duke of West Asia actually took the initiative to invite him to dance.

Dancing between partners and lovers is of course normal, and sometimes it is polite to invite a beautiful lady, but a man invites another man to dance... The people present can't help wondering, is this a signal of courtship?

What surprised them even more was that Prince Shelfis responded to the invitation.

Countless speculations exploded in the hearts of the nobles. Is the Duke of West Asia doing it for profit, or for love?If it's for profit, the fifth prince who has no foundation in the empire can't bring him any benefit at all, and if it's for love... You know, there must be offspring to ensure the continuation of a family. A man who gives birth to a child as a partner means that the West Asian family will only exist in this generation and cannot continue at all. So, is it too expensive to give up the family just for the "love" that is considered a condiment for nobles? Bigger?

Of course, some people have other speculations. Allowing the establishment of a family may be just a means for His Majesty the King to win over the Duke of West Asia. But as long as the Duke of West Asia chooses a prince as his partner and cannot continue the family, then this honor is only a temporary honor. That's all, why not let a powerful military strategist work for the empire, but also ensure that this so-called "family" does not become a major problem for the empire?Princess Fira of the empire is an existence that must win over the deepest-rooted family or marry other powerful countries, so the fifth prince who has no right to inherit the throne is another good tool for marriage... Oh, you said that the Duke of West Asia can still find a female mistress Give birth to offspring?An illegitimate child cannot inherit the title!

Comparing the two theories, the latter is obviously more reasonable, so that the nobles have already begun to guess what kind of charm the fifth prince has to make a man as ruthless, vicious and shameless as the Duke of West Asia Offered up to him...

Once this issue has risen to a political level, the nobles are always interested in the strangeness of it, some are still standing on the edge of the dance floor to discuss occasionally, and some have already started exchanging dance partners, preparing to get closer during the dance to see if they can observe What's the matter... They always have a way when it comes to observing words and expressions.

Sirius and Alo on the dance floor did not notice the turbulent tide outside the arena at all. The two were still immersed in their first dance and had no time to care about others.

Arlo was just announced by his friends about his relationship with Sirius, and he always felt like they were married in a large crowd. He was hugging and slowly pacing in the music, saying it was dancing, but in fact It was nothing more than physical entanglement, and the excessive intimacy made him feel so embarrassed that he didn't even know how to take a step.

Sirius, on the other hand, was full of joy. He declared his sovereignty in front of everyone, and he was even happier after seeing the red flash across Alo's face unconsciously. To vent out the joy in my heart, he can't dance, but just walking around like this is fine, anyway, don't everyone walk around like this?

Just like this, Le Taotao jumped and danced slowly for a while, suddenly heard a chuckle not far away, and then suddenly reacted, and when he turned around, he found that Shelfis didn't know when to talk to Ah Luo. The two of them, Le Lieure, also got off the dance floor together. Thinking that they had all been seen just now, they couldn't help feeling even more embarrassed.

Shelfis blinked at him, and Arlo froze for a moment. At this moment, Sirius noticed the absent-mindedness of the man in his arms, and he also turned his head to look. As a result, what he saw was Shelfie who always liked to tease him from time to time. Si, so he glared.

Seeing Sirius like this, Shelfis was a little ready to move again, he opened his mouth to tease, however, he felt the powerful arms around his waist tightened, and someone whispered in his ear: "Sher, When dancing, isn't it better to focus on your partner?"

This time it was Shelfis' turn to feel uncomfortable. He glanced to the side and saw Sirius puzzling the corners of his mouth arrogantly. Unconsciously, he was taken far away by someone—blocked by many figures, he could no longer find the trace of his friends.

Shelfis raised his head and saw Allerear's gentle and strong eyes. He calmed down and said, "I thought we came here specially to demonstrate to Errol and Liuya."

Allerius smiled: "Sher, you know that this is just an excuse."

"Allerly..." Shelfis opened his mouth.

"Al." Allerear laughed, "We've agreed."

"...Okay, Al." Shelfis blushed quickly, "If it's not for Errol and Liufang to demonstrate, then let's go back."

Allerly Earl paused for a moment: "Sher, are you still refusing to face the reality? I just wanted to invite you to dance, and you accepted my invitation." He put his hand on Shelfis' waist I squeezed it, and laughed in a low voice, "I think it's been a long time."

Shelfis froze: "Al, what are you doing..."

"Obviously, I'm teasing you." Allerious lowered his head, he was half a head taller than Shelfis, and now his lips almost touched his ear, and his warm breath hit him softly. Shelfis' side face, "Or lure, seduce?"

Shelfis felt a rush of heat, "Al, you—"

"Okay, let me put it mildly, I'm chasing you." Seeing that Shelfis was about to be teased into anger, Allerier raised his head again, but he didn't give up the excitement in his words, "I thought you did As a mercenary who has been around for so long, I prefer a more straightforward and rough statement."

...the premonition came true.

Shelfis' fingers trembled: "Al, we have always been friends, and I have always thought so."

"Did you never find out my feelings for you?" Allerius smiled, "It's fine if you don't find out, you can know this from now on. However, I will not let go, Shell, I have been waiting for a long time gone."

Yes, Allerear's feelings for Shelfis have lasted for many years. Later, when he saw him at a banquet held by His Majesty the King, he realized that this man was the legendary fifth prince of the empire who often left the palace and had no right of inheritance. Then he took the initiative to approach.He often fights outside, and has many opportunities to deal with mercenaries. The Red Wolf Mercenary Group has a good reputation. The more he contacts, the more opportunities to get close to Shelfis. Over time, he became a good friend. It was not obvious in Frank City. He always hoped to subtly cultivate the relationship between two people, because only in this way is the strongest relationship. I can't help it today.

The reason is because Shelfis always mentioned "Erol" and "Liquid Tooth"-that is, Sirius.

About half a year ago, Allerear discovered that these two names were added to the correspondence between him and Shelfis. More and more, until the eve of the magic exchange conference, he was even more worried about the magician named "Erol". Such a weight made Allerier feel a sense of crisis.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity of the exchange conference, Allereer persuaded Shelfis to accompany him to Camorra, just to meet these two people. Rolle's extraordinary concern - even though it's pure friendship and Errol and the other "Little Tooth" are originally lovers - still makes him jealous.

Using his "Duke" title, he expressed his willingness to help Shelfis take care of Errol. Sure enough, Shelfis, out of trust in Allerlie and worried about Errol, almost couldn't wait to introduce them to each other. Allerear's goal was achieved, but he couldn't bear it because of the ease with which Shelfis got along with those two people.

Afterwards, the meeting was finally over, and they returned to the capital of the empire, Faran City. Unexpectedly, after a short while, that Errol became a member of Slivier, the magical family of Faran City, and came here. To hold a ball for the first time for his safety... Finally, Alleriere felt that he could not wait any longer in vain.He has long been satisfied with just being a trustworthy friend, what he wants to be is Shelfis' partner.

So, he could be called abducted and let Shelfis get off the dance floor to dance with him. At this ball that came to the capital and was close to all the big nobles, he was almost courting in public—he can imagine how many kinds of rumors there will be among the nobles. The rumors belonging to the two of them can better understand how these rumors will become public opinion-he will not suppress these public opinions, and Shelfis does not know how to quell them, and he himself will be in every "appropriate" situation. Time to make your own gestures.Allereel believes that when the rumors become more and more, Shelfis will definitely face up to this matter, and he will never forget his pursuit - to get his lover.

Compared with Allerear's deliberation, Shelfis is more at a loss, he has never encountered such a thing!More than 20 years older, he certainly had visions for the future, but in this world where high-level soldiers generally have a long lifespan, he never expected to settle down on his partner so quickly—after all, he saw his teacher with his own eyes. The deep relationship between Calgar and the head of Fafu, and the fact that he has seen many inseparable mercenaries or accompanying warriors and their magicians, all these made him envious of the chaotic relationship in the aristocratic circle since he was a child.

But because of this, he never thought about pursuing momentary happiness, but was going to improve his own strength first. He also wanted to have someone to support each other, but the most fundamental thing is to have his own strength... He thought about it After he gains power, he may become a magician's accompanying warrior, or he may develop feelings for a certain companion, or even meet a woman who makes his heart beat... But he never thought about it, he has always trusted The tough man who cares the most besides the head teacher will have such feelings for him.

Shelfis was a little flustered, all this happened without warning, so he didn't know how to react.

"...Al." So, he was silent for a while before asking, "Since when did you..."

"From the very first time I took the initiative to know you, I have been hostile to you." Allereel was always more casual than cold-blooded in front of Shelfis, and he was always very casual, "So, give me an answer?"

Shelfis lowered his eyes, and at this time the next piece of music sounded, and Allereel guided him to change the dance steps and continue the dance music.

"Five years..." Shelfis couldn't hide his surprise at this number. He never thought that Allerear had always had such thoughts, "Then why now?" Since he had waited for so long Yes, why did you say it so abruptly?

"I've been a little jealous lately." Allerear didn't plan to let Shelfis go like this, "You and Errol are too close...whether it's the distance between you and them or their intimacy as a couple, It makes me jealous, Shell."

He stretched out his arms and almost hugged Shelfis in his arms. From the outside, it looked like they were stuck together. Allerius leaned close to Shelfis' ear and said with a smile: "I Sincerely thinking of your courtship, dear Shel, my beloved prince."

Seeing Shelfis hesitated but seemed to want to say something, the curve of Allerear's lips deepened: "Actually, I want to tell you directly, are you willing to marry me? Marry me." A life partner?"
