THE A

Hearing that Hara was entangled by those women and forced him to take them out for an outing, it would be funny to think that Hara would put on a bad face.Just when Naga was thinking about this, he saw that Hara had already changed into a neat outfit and came out of the back hall, apparently sending those annoying noble ladies away.

Naga leaned on the marble pillar and asked lazily, "Are you leaving the palace again?"

"What's wrong?" Haruo noticed him, but ignored him.

Naga yawned, and walked past Hara, "...His Royal Highness sent someone to watch you, you should restrain yourself for a few days, so as not to be discovered."

Without even thinking about it, he could guess what Hara came out of the palace for, and if he was found out, he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.

Haruo sighed slightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "I haven't been out for a few days, and you still guard me?"

Naga rolled his eyes, "Be patient.——

"Speaking of which, you haven't thanked me for helping you lie, but fortunately nothing happened to you, otherwise my life would be lost." Naga shrugged.

"..." Haruo clenched her lips and teeth. "Thanks."

After leaving the main hall, he quickly boarded the carriage and came to the courtyard, but his worry did not disappear.

"Hara, you're here..." Dasha stood in the yard to greet him, but he hesitated to speak, and immediately turned his back.

"What's wrong with you?" Haruo hugged him, frowning slightly, "Shouldn't you be happy to see me?"

"I...I, maybe I didn't sleep well." Dasha took advantage of this to rub his reddened eye circles. He really looked like he didn't sleep well all night, even for several days in a row. Who knows why? The reason why I can't see my sweetheart.

But Hara came at this time, and his depressed mood was naturally much better.After entering the room, Dasha asked with a lot of thoughts: "You've been very busy recently, is there something going on in the palace..."

His heart skipped a beat, thinking that Dasha saw something, Haruo said meaninglessly: "It's nothing, just leave it alone."

Dasha was thrown cold water by his perfunctory attitude.

"Oh, I heard that you want to choose a concubine..." he asked with his heartstrings tensed.

"Who did you listen to? Why are you listening to other people's nonsense again? You just need to listen to me." Haruo explained hurriedly, not realizing that his voice was vicious and his attitude was a bit bad.

"But..." Dasha raised his head in confusion, he didn't know what to do.Lovers should not hide such a big event, and he believed in Hara even more. He was afraid that if he had a secret relationship with Hara, it would harm his future, and Dasha would blame himself for the rest of his life.

Hara pulled him back and sat down on his lap.

"Don't think about it just because of those rumors, do you want to leave me again?"

Dasha could only shake his head lightly, "No...I won't leave you..."

"It's rare for me to come here, so don't be so sad."

"Hmm..." Dasha smiled, "Then today...shall we read together?"

Haruo was taken aback, but his voice lowered, "I'm going back early today."

To make up for this regret, he immediately kissed Dasha's forehead.

Dasha's cheeks were hot, and he kissed back, "...Okay, I'll go get some food."

However, in fact, he was preparing to make snacks by himself, and he was busy for a while, which made Hara wait for a long time without knowing it.Didn't enjoy it for a long time, and it was time to separate again.

"Your Highness, the time is almost up." The waiter outside the door reminded.

"Are you leaving?" Dasha's eyes were obviously lost, and he realized that time was passing so fast.

Haruo was already standing outside the door, "Who told you to make a snack so slowly, I've been a little busy recently."

"..." Dasha held him reluctantly, "Okay, then when will you come back?"

It is rare for him to be so clingy, Haruo vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.He comforted and said:

"I will come, even if you ask me, you can't set a time now."

"Okay..." Dasha let go of his hand in embarrassment.

Haruo added: "I'll come over the day after tomorrow."

He also understood in his heart the suffering of Dasha living here alone, not staying with him day and night, it would be torture for both of them, but the right time has not yet come, and now the father, the queen and the queen are still very enthusiastic about him marrying a concubine. When their interest faded, and no matter who he was secretly in love with, he would definitely take Dasha to him.

After sending Hara away, Dasha was alone again.

He took away the unfinished snacks, cleaned the house spotlessly, put away those ancient books and paintings, and was worried about being sent away at any time, so he made all preparations, except that he dared not tell Hara the truth.

The next day, Lord Shiva visited here again.

With his hands behind his back, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Dasha shook his head obediently, and felt apologetic, "Not yet...I haven't told Haruo about this..."

"Actually, you don't need to ask him. It can be seen that His Highness has been a little upset recently. It is probably because he cannot make up his mind about choosing a concubine. Has he not told you about this?" Lord Shiva raised his voice deliberately, the question Very harsh.

Dasha looked at him in embarrassment, "Master Shiva, we finally got together, Hara probably didn't want me to know, for fear that I would be unhappy."

Shiva sneered and said, "Hehe, do you think so? Recently, Her Highness the Empress picked some maidservants to serve him.... When His Highness comes again, you can see if he is willing to stay here with you, if He doesn't want to, I think... You should be very clear that His Highness has a volatile personality, and he probably already tires of you, I think he is planning to stop fooling around in the future and settle the marriage."

"........."

Dasha's chest heaved violently, and his legs were already stiff, as if they were frozen in place.

"I think he's been restless recently, can't you comfort him?" Shiva pondered for a few seconds, then spread his hands and explained, "Then what's the point of him coming here to look for you? If you are a kind person, Please don't hang out with His Highness anymore, did His Highness say that he will come again soon?"

Dasha replied dumbly: "He said he would come tomorrow..."

"Hehe...then let's see him for the last time. No matter what relationship your Highness has with you, you have to leave him." Shiva stretched out his hand and patted Dasha on the shoulder a few times.

"........."

"But you have to keep this matter secret. Don't tell him that you will leave secretly. If you are missing, His Highness will mess up his marriage. You don't want His Highness to have no children in the future, do you?" Shiva stared at The dull Dasha's smile gradually deepened.

"Lord Shiva, can I stay in Bengard City? As soon as I see him get married, I will leave..." Dasha was so nervous that his hands were sweaty, and the cold wind was blowing. He was afraid that this proposal would be just extravagant hope.

After a long silence, Lord Shiva nodded.

Bangard, the palace.

Naga and Hara came out of the garden, Naga smiled sarcastically and said, "You don't like any of them."

"What's so interesting?" Haruo asked lightly.

They just sent away a few noble girls who came to play, but they have been in and out for more than a day or two, but they can't attract Haruo's attention at all. They should also be very clear that Haruo has no intention of marrying a concubine, but they all want to cling to her. If the rich and powerful become the future queens, their families will have no worries about food and clothing.

Naga raised the back of his head and thought about it carefully. Those ladies were all equally spoiled and pampered.He breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right... It seems that His Majesty will definitely consider it according to his discretion and postpone this matter."

"I'm going out of the palace." Haruo walked quickly, leaving him far behind.

"Hey..." Naga chased after a few steps.Shaking their heads helplessly, there is always a bad feeling coming towards them.

……

Hara opened the door.Seeing someone coming, Dasha woke up from his trance.

If it is not a person with strong self-control, it is difficult to hide the sadness on the brow.Hara could tell at a glance that he had something on his mind.

"...What's the matter, why are you unhappy?" He asked.

Dasha lowered his head subconsciously, "I'm sorry..."

He was really unhappy and didn't even notice Hara's visit.

"What's on your mind?" Haruo took a seat beside him.

"It's okay." Dasha replied.

Haruo twisted his face, and pulled a smile on both cheeks, "You said you're fine, why don't you just smile?"

Thinking that after today would be the day when they would be separated, the sadness was beyond words, Dasha could only force a smile.

Haruo kissed him, "I can't stay longer today, my mother always sends people to watch my whereabouts recently, just wait for this time to pass."

"I've prepared some food, I'll go get it..."

As usual, in addition to talking about daily topics, they simply made out.Dasha pretended nothing happened and said nothing about Lord Shiva's proposal.

After the small gathering, it was almost dusk, and we had a simple dinner together. He Luo got up and sorted his clothes, and there were still a lot of snacks left on the table.

Before leaving, he reminded: "Don't prepare so much next time, you can't finish it."

Dasha replied casually, is there a next time?This should be the last side, so he has prepared so much, and his thoughts are a little preoccupied.

"Hara..." Dasha stood lightly by the door, he didn't know what was wrong, and he couldn't help asking, "...Is it true that your marriage is settled?"

"Why do you bring this up again? You care so much?" Haruo asked annoyed.

"..." Dasha's eyes trembled, and he turned his head sideways.

Haruo scratched his hair, and suddenly felt that this person was really difficult to coax.

"I have already said that it is impossible to marry the princess. I don't want to say it for the first time. No wonder you are unhappy when you see me. Is this kind of shit worth your constant worry?"

Dasha shook his head lightly.

Without the courage to speak the truth, the pain invaded my heart little by little.There was still a little unwillingness, so he asked uninterestedly:

"Then, is there someone to sleep with you?"

Hara frowned strangely, "What's wrong?"

Dasha would actually ask such a question.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you in the palace, so you and someone else..."

Haruo gasped heavily, showing his helplessness, he interrupted: "You don't trust me?"

Dasha shook his head violently.

"Or do you want to enter the palace earlier, is it important to be in the palace or not? You don't want me to take you away now, do you? I told you to wait for a while."

He anxiously clenched his five fingers, "Hara, that's not what I meant..."

"Recently, every time I come here, you show me this face. You make me feel worse and worse."

After blurting out, Hara looked at him in a daze.

Dasha didn't say a word, and seemed to acquiesce to Hara's complaint.

"Sorry..." He held Dasha's shoulder, he didn't mean to say that, he already regretted it.

Dasha didn't respond, the anxiety on his face seemed to be blaming Hara.

He's really abnormal today... He's never been so jealous, doubtful, or unhappy. He Luo took a deep breath, and said calmly:

"I have to go first."

When he turned around, Dasha grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Hara, can you stay a little longer today?"

He asked blankly, not expecting a response.

Haruo continued to walk forward, with a bit of guilt in his tone: "Didn't I tell you that my mother recently sent someone to stare at me, and you can't even understand this? When did you become so sensitive and suspicious?"

"...It's my fault, I shouldn't have doubted you." Chasing after him, Dasha said in a panic.

Hara hummed as it should.

"I really don't know what's wrong with you today. You remember to go to bed early and apply medicine on your feet." He reminded Dasha not intending to blame him.

Dasha sent him all the way to the gate of the courtyard, what else could he say?His fiery throat seemed to be choked, and he simply said goodbye.

Time seemed to freeze, staying at the moment when Haruo left, his back hurriedly got into the carriage, and took away Dasha's last hope.

After wandering around the door for an unknown amount of time, Lord Shiva unexpectedly visited in the middle of the night.

An ordinary, unobtrusive carriage was parked at the door, and Dasha understood his purpose.

Lord Shiva wished him to leave overnight today...the day finally came.

Fortunately, he had already packed the few packages, so he could leave here immediately, which also allowed him to cut off his thoughts quickly.

Lord Shiva sent him to the car, and looked at him with his arms folded, "I didn't expect you to leave soon after coming down with His Highness. It's really a pity. It's just something that doesn't fit your status. It's best not to provoke him."

Dasha froze for a moment, he had long been insensitive to other people's opinions.

Dasha sat motionless in the car, only hearing the sound of the wheels rolling. After driving for a long time, a strong wind began to blow by his ears.

He suddenly realized something was wrong...

Didn't Lord Shiva say that if he is allowed to stay in the city, he can wait until Hara marries a concubine?He opened the screen curtain on the car window, only to realize that the scenery on both sides was no longer the lights of the houses in the city, but the dark forest, and the woods were getting sparser and the wind was getting louder.

"Coachman, where are we going? We've already left the city..." Dasha poked his head out and asked the coachman whose back was to him.

He didn't feel sleepy, but he felt that it was late at night.

"Hey, what's the matter?" The coachman looked back indifferently, and Dasha also noticed that he was wearing a lot.

Dasha asked in a low voice: "Master Shiva said that he would settle me in the city, but..."

The coachman shrugged, "Really, I just pull the cart, I don't care about anything else."

how come…

Where is Lord Shiva going to settle him?

This windy and cold direction must not be the way to Jiaroll...

It turned out that the reunion with Hara today was really a farewell.

"........."

His heart throbbed, and under the hypnosis of heartbreak and confusion, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep.

Feeling the attack of low temperature, Dasha woke up quickly.A night of travel had brought him to a place he had never been before.

He opened the car curtain, and in front of him was a lawn with rolling boulders.Huge mountain peaks surrounded the distance, many mountains blocked the way, and the snow peaks loomed in the clouds and mist.

"Where are you going, coachman?" Dasha asked again, facing the unfamiliar scenery, he was even more uneasy.

"Don't worry about this, you will know when you arrive."

The speed of the carriage began to slow down as they gradually approached the mountains ahead, the white peaks covered with condensed snowfields.The road surface is no longer a grassland, but an ice field covered with ice and snow. There is no sunlight, and the sky is surrounded by a cold wind and snow. They are already walking through the snow.

It's so cold here...

Dasha crossed his arms in the car, trembling.

He didn't know that this was already the border of Nabeles, which was completely opposite to the warm temperature in the middle, and the temperature dropped sharply because the snow peaks here were too high into the clouds.

The coachman took out the coat from a wooden box inside the car, "Take it and put it on, little brother."

"Thank you..." Dasha trembled, putting on his coat with difficulty.

The carriage finally stopped at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. When they got off, Dasha was taken into the only small tent in this area, and the heat was wrapped in the small tent.

There were a few woodcutters in the room, they were rubbing their hands around the fire, and Dasha also walked over to imitate their actions to keep warm.

He didn't expect there to be such a cold place in the world, he always thought he had heard of it somewhere.

He couldn't think of it for a while, his mind was already filled with doubts...

The tent was pulled open again, and three or two more people came in.

Dasha's mouth opened wide...

This time, he was really confused to the extreme...

"Master Shiva, why are you here? Where is this place?"

Dasha's eyes were wide open, his ears and fingers were already red from the cold.

What he saw correctly was that the man in the overcoat in front of him was Lord Shiva who arranged him into the carriage.

The man with the face of a fox smiled at him again.

"This is... Mount Sumeru."

Sumeru Snow Mountain, the highest place in the world according to legend, lives here with the Snow Mountain Goddess, who has been guarding the continent.

Mount Sumeru has always been connected to the border between Nabeles and Galor, but Dasha didn't know much about this side. For the first time, he felt as if he was living in a dream.

Lord Shiva pulled him out of the tent, and immediately there were snowdrops floating on top of Dasha's head, and his cheeks were stiff and painful from the cold.

He followed the direction Lord Shiva pointed, and the snow-capped mountains were in front of his eyes.

He wasn't living in a dream, the blow from the wind and snow was so real that he even lost his drowsiness.

"Lord Shiva, why did you bring me here?"

He didn't dare to look at the snow-capped mountain, because a premonition of danger flashed in his mind, and he remembered the omen he got in Duoling.

"Snow, disaster..."

Dasha had something to say in his heart, and he had to admit...he really walked into this vortex of disaster just as prophesied.

Lord Shiva turned his back to him, calmly accepting the wind and snow blowing, his voice was as calm as water.

"Do you know that the Prince of the Floating Tower of Galore is coming here for walking meditation to purify his body, in order to prove to the world that he is the light of God in the oracle, and if he can melt the ice and snow, he is the real Son of God. You see That direction, that is Garol's army."

It is true that in the distance of this snowfield, there are still some vague lights and shadows, but Dasha can't see them clearly.

"Don't panic, I brought you here to prove your background..." Shiva pulled him into the room.

Dasha breathed out in disbelief, "My background...?"

"Dasha, have you never doubted your parentage?" Shiva squinted at him.

"Master Shiva..."

He was as confused as a cloud.What is his background...?
