THE A

The garden surrounded by fragrance is in front, surrounded by birds and flowers, elegant and pleasant, Dasha has not been here very often, it seems that it is used for entertaining important guests.

Every step I take, there is a faint sound of talking and laughing from the stone pavilion deep in the garden.Looking at it from a distance, he became more and more nervous.

There were several guards and maids standing by nearby, and they were embarrassed to stop him when they saw Master Su Mo.Only a little maid buried her head and said in embarrassment: "Lord Sumo, His Highness Hara is dining in the garden, and he said that no one should disturb him..."

Dasha followed slowly, reluctant to get any closer.

It turned out that Hara was really here, and he couldn't help but look into the stone pavilion in the depths.

I can vaguely see Haruo's back, and there is another person sitting beside him, whose face is blocked by a stone pillar, but the long skirt tail is dragging on the ground. This kind of clothing is worth a lot just by looking at one part, it seems It is the Princess Liuli of the Morduo Kingdom that Sumo mentioned...

His footsteps seemed stiff, and after hearing what the maid said, Dasha didn't dare to go any further, but couldn't stop looking in Shiting's direction.

"Floating building?" Su Mo suddenly patted him, calling him back from his trance, "Let's go over and say hello."

Somo hugged him and walked forward, under such "encouragement", Dasha moved himself with difficulty.Su Mo winked at the wooden servants next to him, and they immediately stepped aside to make way.Su Mo is the most powerful assistant of the Master of the State Teacher, he is also a celebrity in front of the king, and has a distinguished Brahman status. Even His Royal Highness Hara dare not treat him lightly. They are just maids, let alone dare to disobey him. Mr. Su Mo's thoughts.

……

……

The cool wind blew through the quiet garden, and the princess's laughter reached Dasha's ears like silver bells.

I didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but they had a very happy chat. Although I couldn't see Haruo's expression, I could guess his blissful appearance. Dasha's complexion was a little pale, and I didn't know if I was thinking too much.It's been a long time since Haruo smiled at him, maybe it's better for him to stay with Princess Liuli, as going up at this time will definitely disturb them.Time passed by, and he still didn't dare to step forward.

Suddenly there was a force behind him——Sumo pushed him!Dasha's half body blocked by the bushes also took a staggering step forward.The rustling sound of the clothes rubbing against the leaves was clearly transmitted to Haruo...too bad...he stood still awkwardly, just in time to startle the people who were chatting and laughing at Shiting.

Seeing Princess Liuli's expression change from joy to surprise, Haruo finally noticed that someone was disturbing behind her.

……

With sweaty palms, Dasha looked at them in embarrassment, as if he had been discovered by peeping.

Haruo turned his head, and immediately put down the teacup in his hand, as if he was very displeased with his appearance.Dasha noticed that Princess Liuli had light makeup and a ruddy complexion, and she was sitting beside Haruo gently and peacefully. She still didn't know who the handsome boy in front of her was rashly disturbing, but she saw a tall, thin boy walking out behind him. The handsome man, even more confused, even a little shy.

Hara also saw Suma, without the previous hostility.He just said calmly, "Is there something wrong?"

Su Mo pushed Dasha away, and he had no choice but to take another step forward, squinting his eyes and forced a smile, "Su Mo told me you were here, so he brought me here."

……

He is Hara's lover, can't he come to him...

However, when it really came, he felt that he shouldn't have come.

Dasha knew that it was inappropriate to interrupt so boldly, but he had something to say, and finally found him, and was about to say the next sentence, but Hara repeated: "...what's the matter?"

For a moment, the air condensed, and Dasha's words had to be stuck in his mouth, and he swallowed them jerky.

Princess Liuli was still very interested in the visitor, she asked Haruo in a low voice:

"Hara, are these your friends?"

Haruo coughed, "Yeah."

Princess Liuli covered her face with her slender hands and hid her smile. She immediately wanted to invite the two of them to sit in the stone pavilion and have a meal together, but she didn't know how to speak, but from her joyful eyes, Somo had already guessed her Thinking about it, he stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hi, Princess Liuli, this is the sacrificial wine of Nabeles, Somo."

Liuli's eyes wandered over Dasha, it was the first time she had seen such a handsome and shy boy, he didn't look like a Baylesian at all, "Who is this?"

Knowing that the princess was looking at him, Dasha hurriedly saluted and opened his mouth stammeringly, "I, I am..."

It's so difficult to speak, what a clumsy person, Liuli chuckled lightly, and Dasha flushed in panic.

Su Mo also laughed dryly, and explained: "This is Prince Fulou from Galore. He is a bit introverted and not very good at talking to girls."

……

Although it wasn't what Su Mo said, it was thanks to his rescue.Dasha breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Liuli thought he was even more interesting, and looked at Dasha carefully from head to toe, "So you are Prince Fulou? Yesterday, Liuli heard Princess Lianjia mention you, very happy to meet you."

Sure enough, as rumored, he is a delicate and beautiful young man. If he is a responsible and ambitious man, how could he be willing to be a hostage in another country?However, Prince Fulou is so cute, he must have attracted many court ladies to love him.

Dasha nodded blankly, "I...I am also very happy."

Liuli gestured to the empty chair beside her with her eyes, and there was a table of sweet melons, fruits and side dishes, "How about having dinner together? Prince Fulou?"

Hara didn't agree, so Sumo dragged Dasha to sit down.With Princess Liuli's invitation, it is impossible for Haruo to issue an order to chase away guests.

The chair is so cold... Dasha thanked him and sat down, facing Haruo's cold eyes, he squeezed his fingers uneasily.

……

……

In fact, Liuli is a very talkative princess. Somo and Princess Liuli quickly hit the topic and chatted with great interest. Dasha listened to their chatting and laughing in a trance, but didn't notice what they were talking about.

Sitting here, he seems to have become a transparent person, and the spring breeze that blows is also cold.Recently, he was misunderstood and neglected by Hara, so he didn't want to stay here.After sitting for a while, Dasha lowered his head and was not interested in the food on the table.

Just when he lost his mind, Liuli looked at him with a smile: "Prince Fulou, Liuli is very interested in the country of Jialuoer. I don't know how the situation of the country of Jialuoer is? Liuli wants to go to play if there is a chance."

She was full of anticipation, which made Dasha bewildered. He was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Liuli asked, "I..."

Although she opened her mouth, she unfortunately became dumb. Liuli frowned and said:

"Prince Fulou, if you don't answer my words, don't you really hate Liuli?"

He really lost his mind... What did Liuli ask? ...

Dasha looked at her apologetically, shook his head vigorously, "No, it's not..."

It's so boring.Liuli complained in her heart, and soon dissipated her dissatisfaction, showing a smile, "By the way, let's eat something, these happened to be the special products that Liuli brought when she came to visit."

She pointed to the things on the table, some of which Dasha had never seen before, probably the special products she mentioned, but Dasha had no intention of tasting them.After a while, he picked up a small fruit and put it in his mouth. The taste was so sour that it made people frown.

Dasha swallowed it with difficulty, and smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't have much appetite..."

After speaking, Dasha lowered his head heavily again.It could be seen that he didn't want to eat, and Princess Liuli curled her lips in self-defeating manner.

Haruo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said coldly with no expression on his face: "If he doesn't want to eat, let him starve."

Liuli raised her eyebrows, and said softly: "It seems that Prince Fulou may not be interested in what Liuli brought."

She has always known that Jiaroll is a small country next to Nabeles, and the same is true of her hometown, Modo. She and Prince Fulou are both royal families of similar status. There is no need for him to look down on the gifts she brought from Modo. ——

Liuli was so reluctant to take a bite, Liuli's strong self-esteem was immediately hit, she thought Prince Fulou looked so gentle and would be a good person to get along with, but she didn't expect that it would be fine with a melancholy face, and put on airs.

Su Mo pushed the plate in front of him, "Fulou, would you like some of this?"

Dasha didn't look at what was on the plate, so he quickly declined: "No, no, thank you."

Somo still didn't give up, he sighed, picked up a small piece of sugar cake, and handed it to Dasha's mouth.

I don't know if Fulou will take this trick, but anyway - it will stimulate His Royal Highness Hara.

Dasha was surprised, he ignored the piece of snack that was delivered to his mouth, but immediately looked at Hara who was sitting opposite, he raised his head, but Hara coldly looked away.Somo just refused to stop. Dasha hesitated for a long time, as if taking poison, and finally opened his mouth to bite.

It melts in the mouth and is well done.

It's a very sweet snack...but it's not as sweet and satisfying as eating sweets before.

Liuli looked at them with a broken smile, and said, "You two have such a good relationship."

Before she finished speaking, there was a sound of robes being ruffled beside her - Hara stood up as if venting.Without looking at anyone, he went out of the stone pavilion. He didn't leave, but walked a little farther.

Liuli didn't know why, and was about to enjoy a few more snacks, she didn't care much about Haruo's movements.Su Mo's smile deepened.

His chest seemed to be blocked by another boulder, and Dasha's heart was filled with restlessness.

He clenched his fists and chased after him uncontrollably.

He did it wrong again...

He should have rejected Su Mo's kindness unceremoniously, but his mind was so confused that he didn't dare put on airs to refuse, nor did he dare lose his temper...

He caught up with Hara's footsteps, but Hara stopped, and he couldn't help but stop awkwardly.

Hara turned his back to him, his back revealed a faint cool air, erected a wall invisible, Dasha said in a very low voice: "Hara, I have something to tell you..."

He almost exhausted all his strength to hold back a word.

"What's the matter, we'll talk about it tonight." Haruo was impatient, quite dissatisfied with him catching up.

"But, I..." Biting his lip, Dasha turned pale.

"It's nothing to worry about. Go back and rest if you have nothing to do. Didn't you see any guests? What are you doing with a sour face?" Haruo stood there and hesitated a few times before going back to the pavilion. He staggered away from Dasha's body. Walking back, when talking, he didn't look her in the eye, "If you stay any longer, Liuli will be unhappy, and it's inconvenient for me to explain to the queen mother."

Dasha was stunned...

It turns out that staying by herself will make Princess Liuli unhappy? ...

Seeing his indifferent and unfamiliar appearance, Dasha took a step back feeling lost, with a hot wave in his eyes trembling endlessly.He worked up his courage and asked, "Can't I stay here? It seems like we haven't spoken for many days."

Hearing that his voice had begun to cry, Haruo stopped in his tracks. He finally turned his head with interest, but his eyes were full of mockery: "You hang out with other men all day, aren't you very happy?"

He said it sourly on purpose, knowing that Dasha was very thin-skinned, he would definitely have no face to follow him back, and he didn't know how he would have the face to disturb him with Su Mo today.

Hara hurried back to the pavilion and began to eat in a relaxed manner.

"Hara, I..." After taking a step, Dasha stopped with difficulty.He found that his footsteps were too heavy to catch up with, and the explanation that was stuffy in his heart came to an abrupt end.

That stone pavilion is clearly ahead, only a few steps away.

But it suddenly became so far away...

He was not very happy, not as Hara said...

This bitter feeling is far more than just sadness.But before he could say it, what Hara left him was only his back—there was also a layer of thick fog that separated him far away, and he couldn't see clearly...Why didn't he give him a chance, why? To avoid seeing--

Turning around, tears slid down his cheeks, and his nasal cavity was sore.

Dasha was busy rubbing it off, and hurriedly looked away, he didn't dare to look over there again.

Grabbing the hem of his clothes, he quickly left in a hurry.But there is still hope in my heart...

Haruo said, let's talk about it at night if there is something to do, will he listen to what he said that night?

……

……

The night breeze is blowing, and it is still as cool as the day.

It was clearly spring, and Dasha was still wearing a coat.The stars are shining down, the night is beautiful tonight.He couldn't stop wondering whether the person he cared about was also watching such a beautiful night...?He didn't want to watch it, but he tried his best to cheer himself up.Unknowingly, since dusk, I have been waiting at the gate of Haruo's bedroom until late at night, and even the guards next to me started yawning.

He finally realized that it was getting late.

A familiar voice called from behind: "...Fulou, why don't you go back?"

Dasha turned his head back blankly, habitually lowering his head.

Su Mo rubbed his hair and sighed: "Fulou, His Highness accompanied the princess to relax outside the palace. I'll take you back."

"I'll go back by myself." Trembling, Dasha raised his hand to interrupt him, trying his best to avoid too much physical contact.

After taking two steps to the side, Dasha's eyes were red, and he said breathlessly: "Please, please don't... don't care about me like this..."

If we don't keep our distance, the misunderstanding between him and Hara will never be resolved...

So, can't talk to Sumo anymore.Perhaps as a friend, this is very disrespectful, but he also had to... Dasha quickly fled here, but he couldn't notice the expressions of the people behind him.

……

……

Garol Imperial City.

Recently, a group of people wearing black cloaks often appear in the market. They just like to shuttle in the slums. It seems that they are not locals, but come here on business. There are probably three or four people. I can’t see what they are wearing under the cloak, but they must not From the royal family of Garol.

One of the cloaked men with a horse-like face would pick out younger people from passers-by from time to time to ask questions.The person he pulled over to question looked at the things in his hand, and shook his head almost irrelevantly, and he and his accomplices went to the other side.

Finally, the man sighed heavily, and focused his gaze on the poorly dressed beggars nearby.

In order to inquire about the news, maybe there really is a know-it-all beggar who will know?

There were several beggars laying lazily and dying on the corner of the street, the man searched for a while, and kicked one who seemed to be in good spirits: "Hey, have you seen this child? About ten years old, with fair skin and not tall."

At the same time, the horse-faced man took out a crumpled piece of paper with a beautiful portrait on it.If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard for anyone to imagine someone who looks so handsome, who really looks like a prince of the Garol royal family...

Blame it on the adult who drew the portrait... I heard that he draws it from memory, it would be nice if he could draw more realistically, unless there is no such person he is looking for.

The beggar raised his eyes, he was not interested in the portrait, but when he saw that the man was wearing a black cloak, he was expected to be a member of some sect organization, so he lazily turned his head away and did not speak.

This person is also insane. The fair-skinned person must be a prince and nobleman. How could he be recognized by a beggar?Inquiring about things depends on whether the person is good or not, always asking around in the slums, it's strange if someone knows...

The beggar snorted angrily, and the little beggar who was lying beside him basking in the sun suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at the portrait.

"What?" The horse-faced man noticed something was wrong with the little beggar.

Opening his mouth wide, the little beggar couldn't believe his eyes: "This, this is Brother Dasha..."

He nodded confidently, and the horse-faced man was also dumbfounded——

……

……

At the same time, in the Bangadh forest farm, the spring sunshine flooded the entire grassland, and the cavalry who were training were in full swing. They were galloping on the distant grassland. Naga, who was about to go to the hunting ground, was also full of energy, but with Prince Hara, who came with him, was not very interested. He was not like this in the past.Could it be that he quarreled with Fulou?Various associations floated in Naga Gossip's mind, but he didn't ask.

They had already prepared their luggage and were about to go out, but Gale, which had been quiet all this time, seemed to hear something, raised its neck and let out a loud cry.

While comforting it, Haruo noticed that a rarely seen carriage was slowly approaching the entrance of the forest farm and stopped at the entrance.

Today's forest farm was contracted by him, why did other people come?

"Whose car is that?" Haruo squinted.

Naga didn't know too well, shrugged, he didn't intend to dismount.

"Your Highness, I'll go over and have a look." Bai Long, who was helping to dress up, answered quickly, he would not follow to the hunting ground, but just happened to go to see who it was.

……

……

Seeing that there were unfamiliar soldiers on both sides, and no one paid attention to him, Dasha was a little at a loss.

After standing for a while, he hesitated whether to go in or not.Suddenly, he stared blankly at a person approaching from a distance.As if seeing hope, Dasha stepped forward quickly: "Brother Bailong?"

He knew that Bailong was often in charge of military affairs here, but he didn't expect to meet him again by chance.Seeing acquaintances made him feel relieved.

Bai Long laughed loudly and said: "Fulou, you are here to find Haruo. He is over there."

He pointed in the direction of His Highness, unexpectedly, following the sound of hoofbeats, Haruo had already come on his own horse.

He was riding on a white horse, his body swaying slightly, and the reins pulled the pace of Gale.Looking down from above.

"Who allowed you to come out alone?"

Dasha opened his mouth, lowered his head and said, "It's Master Guoshi. He knew I was coming to you, so he agreed to me."

He answered truthfully, a little nervous, and a little afraid to look at him.

Haruo said lightly, "Really?"

As soon as he pulled the rein, he seemed to turn around and go away.Dasara trotted to catch up with his trousers, his eyes were flustered, and he hurriedly asked: "Hara... I wanted to ask you something yesterday, but you never went back, so..."

After talking several times in a row, Dasha was out of breath.

"I was too busy yesterday." Haruo's voice was cold.

Why are you so obsessed?Who is at fault first, doesn't he know?

Haruo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, didn't look at him, and continued, "Now I have to go hunting, what's the matter, I'll talk about it when I get back."

"Okay, okay." Dasha nodded feebly.

He was thrown aside again, and his footsteps gradually became weak. He was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the horse's hooves, so he froze in place. It was not until the gust of wind was far away that he finally had the courage to step forward to take a look.

Bai Long followed him up, watching the group of people preparing to enter the hunting ground, he was almost done.

"Fulou, go over there and rest for a while." Bailong suggested.Now that we're here, it's good to blow some fresh air here.He didn't see anything wrong between His Highness and Fulou, after all, Fulou's physique was not suitable for hunting with His Highness.

Dasha nodded and followed him in a daze, "Thank you..."

Near the forest farm, there is an open space for rest, which was prepared for the nobles of the palace.Flowers, tables and chairs were placed here, and colorful tablecloths and carpets were decorated on them, and the maids brought over fruits one after another.

Dasha blinked, as if he saw the Liuli Princess from yesterday.

So she was there?Did she come to play with Hara? ... His heart suddenly became dull and restless.

Princess Liuli was half lying down on the long Chinese chair, when she saw Dasha, she sat up and waved her hands, "Prince Fulou, are you here too?"

"Princess Liuli... hello." Dasha nodded, then found a small chair and sat down, with his head buried.

"I'm here to ride a horse today." Liuli looked at him cheerfully, "Are you too?"

Dasha paused, forced a faint smile, "No, I'm just... I'll come out and take a walk."

No wonder Princess Liuli wears baggy trousers.She looks much quieter than Lian Jia, but she is also a bit delicate.She stretched her waist and stood up slowly: "Then you should eat something here first, I'm going to ride a horse first."

Bailong gave some instructions to the passing maids, and came to greet Princess Liuli who was going to ride a horse. Seeing Dasha sitting there sullenly, he said, "Fulou? I was just about to ask you if you want to ride a horse together?"

"No, thank you, I'll just sit here. Go and play..." Dasha shook his head and smiled.

……

The air here is really good, and those feeling of being difficult to breathe seem to have dissipated a lot.Instead of being bored in your own room, it might be right to come here.

Time passed very slowly, Dasha tasted some fruits, and helped the servants to bring something, after a long while, the sun was still shining brightly.I don't know how long it will take for Hara to come back.

He has been waiting for many days.

Every second, he couldn't help but recall the good times of the previous days.

Since when did he start pestering Hara?In the past, he didn't care, but now, it has become a habit for him to actively apologize and ask for peace. He has always been considerate and caring for that person in every possible way. People are bored.

This is the pain behind the lies, isn't it——

When his mask is revealed, will his treasured memories be shattered to nothing... At that time, he will not even have the qualifications to apologize. If he doesn't say it now, when will he have the opportunity to say it?

……

The sun pierced the crystal white bracelet, and he remembered his wish under the holy elephant.

"What wish?"

"……And you?"

"Of course it's a wish that the two of us will always be together. Is your wish the same as mine?"

"I……"

……

At that time, Hara's eyes were tender and serious, which made him fall in love.

Dasha shook his head vigorously to wake himself up.

Is this the legendary sweet and bitter love affair?He also finally realized what it was like to be left out in the cold.

Those were all jokes on the spur of the moment...how could it be possible?But how could he be willing to take off the bracelet.And that stone bracelet, although it is getting old, he will always wear it, even as a souvenir...

……

The sun was approaching dusk, and the grassland was dyed into a sea of ​​tender red warm colors.

Seeing that Bailong sent Princess Liuli into the carriage, it seemed that it was time to go back.Dasha's heart suddenly became tense. He couldn't help but ran to Bailong, and asked anxiously, "Brother Bailong! Why hasn't Haruo come back yet? It's already... almost dark."

He was very worried if something happened to Hara?I heard that the hunting ground is unfathomable, and there will be wild animals from the deep mountains at night. Will Haruo be in danger?

Bai Long was startled, and patted him, "Your Highness may be playing late, Fulou, you should go back first."

While there was still a carriage to take them back to the palace, he happened to go back with Princess Liuli.

Dasha was still extremely disturbed, "But..."

Bailong sighed: "Fulou, Your Highness has someone following you, so you don't need to worry."

……

Not only was he worried, but he still had a lot to say, so he just went back?So what about Hara's promise to him?He said that he would make it clear to him when he came back, and now that he was returning to the palace, he didn't know if he could still talk to him today.

He resisted the soreness in the corners of his eyes, bit his lips, "Brother Bailong, can you please arrange a horse for me, I want to find him in the hunting ground."

Bai Long's eyes widened, of course he wanted to refuse right away——

He told Princess Liuli's driver to leave first, and took Dashala aside, "The jungle is more dangerous at night, you are not suitable to go there."

Dasha watched anxiously, and grabbed Bailong's arm, "So, Haruo may also be in danger, will it..."

Isn't Bailong worried about Hara's safety?

Bai Long was stunned for a moment, then said dumbly, "This..."

His Highness has always been familiar with the environment of the hunting ground, so how could something happen suddenly?Maybe it's because Fulou is too worried, and it's normal to come back later sometimes, isn't it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Dasha begged, "Please, I really want to find him."

Bailong sucked in helplessly.He knew that Prince Fulou didn't know how to ride a horse and needed someone to take him with him, but at this time he asked him to arrange a horse for him.

Bailong held his hand and repeated firmly: "Fulou, please don't be impulsive, Your Highness will be safe and sound."

The corners of his eyes trembled, and Dasha's face was pale.He still held on to the white dragon and did not let go, hoping that someone could help him.

"I have something to say to him, but...he's been very busy these days, and I haven't had a chance to tell him..."

……

……

Compared with these warriors, Fulou is a weak person. Unlike many men, he has a strong physique and courage, but he has a noble character that many people can't match.He is obviously a hostage, he cannot protect himself, and he is worried about the safety of His Highness.

It's strange that it can always arouse others' desire to protect.

Maybe out of compassion, Bai Long nodded.

"I see, Fulou." He said in a concentrated voice, "I'll lead you a horse and arrange a few people to go to the hunting ground to find His Highness."

Dasha didn't speak, but happily followed him!

As he walked, Bai Long stroked his chin and said, "To be honest, I am also worried that His Highness hasn't come back so late, but Naga is by his side, so nothing will happen."

After a while, he pulled out a smaller brown-red horse, which looked much tamer than other horses.

"...Is it okay to ride alone?" Bai Long patted the horse's back, it was raised by him himself, so it would be much safer if he went with him.

Dasha took a deep breath and walked towards it, "Well, no problem."
