Dragon and knight Ji gl

In the palace of King Nati Woods.

After Laif came out, she followed closely behind the attendants. At this moment, she glanced back at the closed door of the study.She thought of what Prince Tenny had said just now, and his expression when he mentioned Princess Boris, and felt that her footsteps became quite heavy.The brown-haired knight wasn't quite sure what happened last night between Prince Tenny and Princess Boris.But Prince Tenny made it clear that she didn't want to see Princess Bolis again, and even had a feeling of disgust for her.

She doesn't know? If Princess Boris asks, in what way should Prince Tenny's response be explained to the princess.Maybe she thought it through first? The question is: should she tell the princess about it?Should she just pretend nothing happened? Hiding it and not reporting it?Don't puncture Princess Bolis' beautiful fantasy, let her think she is hoping to become Prince Tenny's wife, until she sees Prince Tenny marrying another princess; Princess Si made it clear, cut off her idea as soon as possible?

Which approach is more in line with the knight? Identity and position?She knew? If she asked this question to Captain Hilton, he would undoubtedly let her protect herself.But in the process of getting along with Princess Bolis, it was very difficult for Leif to only regard the little princess as an object she had to serve for the mission, and it was even more difficult not to consider the consequences of her actions. The impact on Boris.Task aside, she didn't want Boris to be sad, she wanted Boris to be happy.But now that's the end of the story, Princess Boris is doomed to be hurt, and she?hopes it hurts less?.

It was the first time for the brown-haired knight to come to the King's Palace of Nati Woods. This palace was bigger than the ones she had entered in the Kingdom of Aesia, and the buildings and roads were much more complicated.She followed the attendant not worried about going the wrong way, so she walked absent-mindedly.After a while, he raised his hand to cover his face and yawned.Didn't get enough sleep last night.I didn't notice it when I was excited to see Princess Boris back, but now I'm obviously tired.

Leif naturally didn't notice that the attendants were leading her around.When she occasionally raised her head and found that the scene in front of her was similar to the scene on the road she walked not long ago, she also thought that the buildings and decorations in the palace were very repetitive. , did not take it seriously.

"How far is it from the gate of the palace?" Leif asked casually after yawning ten times.

"Don't worry," said the attendant. "Madam knight, can you walk slowly?"

Leff frowned suspiciously.She felt that the attendant's tone and what he said were very strange, specifically speaking, they didn't fit her status.The scenery in front of me was already very familiar, Leif stopped and looked back.I found that the study I had just stepped out of about a quarter of an hour ago was now behind her.She took a closer look, trying to identify the difference between the current study and the study just now, and comforted herself by saying that after all, she didn't look carefully, and it's normal to admit mistakes.

But it is obvious that not only the study is the same, but also the surrounding houses, flowers, plants and trees are the same... There is a man-made small river in front of the study that is directly connected to the water source outside the palace. A slab bridge, she remembered that she had passed this bridge first before entering the study room of Prince Tenny.

"What's going on here?" Leif's scalp felt a little numb for a moment, "How long have we been walking here just now?" Is it her? Is there a mistake in her time perception?

"It's been a quarter of an hour, maybe it will be a little more?" The attendant said calmly, followed Leif's gaze, and looked at the closed door of the study room, "The surrounding? The scenery is really good. People linger and forget to return, it's the first time for the knight girl to come to the palace, if you don't appreciate it more, you will regret it?"

It's impossible for Leif to believe such a clumsy lie.She looked at the attendant with strange eyebrows and eyes in front of her, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Prince Teni just asked me to send the knight girl out of the palace, but he didn't say when to send you out of the palace." The attendant said.

"I don't understand." Leff frowned, and looked up and down at the attendant in front of him, trying to find some clues from his face, "Did I know you before?"

The attendant said: "Not really."

"But you clearly delayed the time to keep me here? What's your purpose?" Leif didn't intend to get entangled, "Don't say that this is an order secretly given to you by Prince Tenny, He really wanted me to leave right away? No matter what? You left me behind, I came to the palace just to obey Princess Boris? Instructions, and to do my duty. I hope you also? Prince Ni's order to do something."

"His Royal Highness did not instruct me otherwise. But I have been with Prince Terani since he was a teenager, and I know him very well." The attendant lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness himself? I don't always know what I want. I can guess it. So what determines my behavior is not just 'responsibility'. I care about His Royal Highness, and I don't want him to make mistakes. A decision to regret later... and over the years, the risk has proven to be worth it."

Leff was about to speak, when he heard the door of the study creak open.

Prince Tenny stood behind the door, and said to the attendant in a low tone: "Please take back the words I told you to bring to the guard just now. Also, about Princess Boris..." He then followed the attendant Standing with Leif, he stopped talking.After pausing for a while, he signaled the attendants to leave.

The prince's? face? flashed for an instant? and joy and obvious? entanglement, but this complex expression only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.Prince Tenny became as gentle and calm as usual. He looked at Leif and said, "Miss Knight, please... come in again. I apologize for what I said wrong just now."

"Of order, Your Royal Highness." Leif said, and then followed Prince Tenny into the door of the study.

As soon as Leif stepped into the study door, Prince Tenny said, "I'm so sorry, Miss Knight. What I said just now? Those words were not cautious."

"Don't worry, I will never tell Princess Boris about this. In fact, even if the prince doesn't order me, I still want to do this." Leif bowed her head and said respectfully, "Dear? Your Royal Highness, if you are really dissatisfied with Princess Boris, please allow me to suggest rudely: You should make it clear to her face to face, instead of pretending to be someone else. Greater? Harm."

"Dissatisfied..." Prince Tenny thought to himself, he did say a word of refusal to Princess Boris at the beginning, but what followed was that Princess Boris was even more offended. ? move, pondered for a while, and then said, "She? did have some? reckless? moves, but now I can't judge the nature of her? You must be very embarrassed to tell Miss Knight. The relationship between me and Boris is actually not that bad—if it is really like Miss Knight said, there will be such a day? , I will follow the knight girl's advice."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Prince Tenny brought this topic over with some discomfort. He was originally facing the desk, but now he turned around and faced Leif's direction, " Miss Knight, have you ever seen? This thing? Do you know the source of? This thing? "

Prince Teni asked two questions in a row, and he spread his hand out in front of Leif.

Leif saw only a plain white silver ring lying in the fair and beautiful palm of Prince Tenny.Prince Tenny's tone was normal, as if he was casually asking people around him about the species of unfamiliar flowers he encountered on the way while walking.However, on the hand with well-defined knuckles, the slender fingers curled up and trembled slightly, and there was already a thin layer of sweat in the palm.These symptoms are not obvious, and people who don't look very carefully may not notice them at all, but Leif noticed them.

The brown-haired knight glanced at the ring on Prince Tenny's hand, and then looked up at the prince's calm face. He was about to say something, but his gaze was caught by something in the corner. attracted.

——A thing the size of a mouse walked past the corner, it had no real shape and no shadow, it just showed a sudden "abnormality" under the refraction of the light.The little thing moved a bit, making the gap in the wall there look like it had snapped off, but it was quickly reconnected.This scene was so familiar, it soon overlapped with the thing she saw in the ruined palace.

In fact, just after Princess Boris wore the brooch made of fire lark feathers, Leif would often see strange scenes in the rooms of the mansion.The mouse-sized thing has a different shape every time, sometimes it has a gray color, sometimes it is translucent, and sometimes it is completely transparent, but in the end... because of that thing? The material is different from the air after all, so you can see some differences in sunlight.

Leif subconsciously touched behind her but found nothing. Then she remembered that before entering the palace, she had handed over the weapon on her body to the guards.Machetes cannot be brought into the palace?

"Forget it, maybe you don't know? I should ask Princess Boris directly?...No, maybe..." Prince Tenny took a breath, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips, and put the ring on Withdrawing her palm, seeing Leif's expression, she no longer expected any answer from her. After a while, seeing the brown-haired female knight staring at the corner, she said again, " Knight girl, I will be a little embarrassed to meet Princess Boris now, can you please ask me if this ring belongs to her? If so, where did she get it? "

Leif came back to her senses in an instant, and the words of Prince Tennis poured into her ears, and she said in a straight voice: "Princess Boris said that she has always carried a ring with her. But when I was supposed to use it last night... I couldn't find it for some reason. I didn't look carefully at the ring, but... I saw it? Boris took it out a few times, if it was caught in the If it was sent together in that pile of things, then this should be the ring that belonged to Princess Boris."

"...Oh, this is really..." Prince Tenny raised his lips into a smile, but he seemed to think of something suddenly, his face turned pale in an instant, and sweat broke out from his forehead.Leif too? I couldn't tell whether he was happy or not, so I heard him continue, "...this is really great."

After a while, while picking up the cup to drink water, Prince Tenny asked: "Miss Knight, you just said that this is what Princess Boris has been carrying with you all the time, and you still talked about last night?" She also wants to... 'use'... what does that mean?"

Almost two-thirds of Leif's thoughts were on the little thing that appeared in the corner just now, and when she heard Prince Tenny's question, she subconsciously said: "About this ring, Boss Princess Liz said that this is a token of love between her and you. She has been looking for a chance to propose to you, and she said that she finally found the right opportunity last night. But suddenly she couldn't find it, and she was very regretful..."

"Cough...cough..." Prince Tenny choked on the water, and then coughed violently.

"No, what I mean is..." Leff realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said. Seeing Prince Tenny's distressed look, she quickly put a piece of paper on the desk. Passed the handkerchief to Prince Tenny to wipe his face, "I'm sorry, Your Highness."

After Prince Tenny stopped coughing, his fair face turned red. I don't know if it was because he coughed too much from choking water, or because he was affected by what Leif said. ?Influence.

"What I said just now, about the proposal and the token of love...all of this is just my guess, and it has not been approved by Princess Bolis. The meaning of this ring, please contact me, Prince I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have speculated.” Leif was afraid that the image of Princess Boris in front of Prince Tenny would be damaged because of her, but I don't know? Princess Boris actually has no image in front of Prince Tenni. "Princess Boris is a very shy person. She behaves elegantly and acts reservedly. She has never been like Meng Lang. Lift."

"Reserved..." Prince Tenny murmured softly, his eyes seemed to say that this was simply trying to cover up.

After that, there was a short silence. Looking at Prince Tenny, who seemed to be in deep thought, Leif knew that she should take the initiative to leave at this time.

But before she left, she still couldn't help but glanced at every place in the study, but didn't see that mouse-sized "thing".She looked at every corner again? Or is there nothing unusual?

Hope it's just her ?jittery?The Fire Skylark has been killed by her long ago, and now its only? and also? the most beautiful? feather has become the? brooch of Princess Boris, and it will never appear here again?.And if it's true? What? Appears, she won't be the only one who notices it.Even Natia Vida-sama didn’t notice it, which means that even if it’s true? There’s something? It’s not a threat.

However, Leif still decided to explain this discovery to Captain Hilton after going back.

Just after Leif left, Prince Tenny looked at the silver ring in his hand.However, the unfocused eyes indicate that he is not looking at anything, but is caught in memories

It wasn't until the attendant reminded him that it was time for lunch that he put the ring away as if he had made up his mind.

After lunch, the servants were relieved to find that Prince Treni was back to normal.

In order to get rid of the official documents that had piled up due to the distraction in the morning, Prince Tenny directly missed dinner, and by the time he stood up from his desk again, it was already dark .

The attendant lit the oil lamp on Prince Tenny's desk, and then took out some snacks.

Just after the attendant saluted and retreated, he heard Prince Tehni say: "You all go back... you stay." The attendant turned around and saw Prince Tehni pointing to... It was him who stopped, watching his companions go out one after another, and closed the door.

The attendant thought that Prince Teni was angry because of his self-assertion in the daytime, but he didn't expect that Prince Teni had already forgotten about it.

"You, go and check Princess Bolis' country? It's called the Kingdom of Freya... I knew almost nothing about this country before. All the information you can find, no matter how much Find all of them. There is no need to organize them into official documents, I want them right away, the sooner the better." Prince Tenny ordered.

"Of order, Your Highness the Prince." The attendant was overjoyed.This is the first time Prince Tenny has shown such a great interest in a princess.If you want to know about Princess Bolis' "country", does this mean that Nati Woods will establish diplomatic relations with this unknown small country, maybe the real candidate for the princess has already been determined.The squire felt that his?adventure in the daylight was the right?decision.The prince endured endless pain after being glamorous in the eyes of the outside world. He sincerely hoped that Princess Boris could bring joy to Prince Tenni.

"Wait a minute." Prince Tenni stopped the attendant who was about to go out, and said, "Don't spread the word about it. No one can tell it, not even your companion."

"Yes, Prince." The attendant felt a little strange about Prince Tenny's order: For a small, not well-known, distant country, the information he could find out would naturally not involve confidentiality.Moreover, he is not specifically responsible for handling intelligence. Due to his limited ability, he can find out all the information, as long as anyone who wants to inquire about it can find it. I don’t know why it needs to be concealed.

"Even if you find out, the so-called Kingdom of Freya doesn't actually exist... You don't need to be too surprised. Just tell me the truth." Prince Tenny seemed to think of something, and the corner of his mouth curled up. Come on, but the brows frowned, disregarding the attendant's reaction, and said coldly, "Go down."

The attendant is only a joke for Prince Tenny, but when he searched all the documents he could find, and even searched all versions of the map of the Deya continent, he asked all the news dealers he could find Afterwards, but still did not find a single word or phrase that mentioned the kingdom of Freya.He could only tell Prince Te Ni: "There is no such country."

The time goes back to the time when Leif just came out of Prince Tenny's study.This time she was on the road without much delay. After picking up the horse brought to her by the attendants, Leif quickly left the palace.

The spirit suddenly relaxed, and Leif yawned profusely along the way, almost falling off Lily's body several times.Fortunately, Lily is very smart and remembers the way back, so she won't get lost without her driving.

Lily was hunched over in a dejected state. The master went back to the mansion. All the way, her nose kept snorting dissatisfiedly, as if pointing out that the sound could wake Lev awake.Several times when she noticed that the brown-haired knight's body was tilted, Lily would try her best to move to the opposite side, so as to straighten the brown-haired knight's body.Then he walked steadily, with his head held high, bypassing the gradually bustling streets, bypassing countless roadblocks and naughty children running around on the streets, all the way safely Send the brown-haired knight back to the Laerilla mansion.

When Leif approached the mansion, he finally cheered up.She raised her eyes to look at the road and found that she was on the right track. She praised "good girl" and stroked the mane on the back of Lily's neck.Lily tilted her head in disdain, as if she wanted to take care of herself but had to pay attention to her image in front of others.He exhaled loudly through his nose, expressing his dissatisfaction with the humiliation of the bloodline of the horse on the team.

When Leif led Lily to the stable, he unsurprisingly kicked Lily.

The groom with white beard and hair looked at the brown-haired knight who was kicked to the ground, and called worriedly: "... Knight lady."

"I'm fine." The brown-haired knight raised his head and smiled at the stable boy.Then he rubbed his buttocks and got up from the ground. After dusting off the horse feed that was on his body, he walked outside as if nothing had happened. After a few steps, she turned back again, still holding a few silver Gesha coins in her hand.

Leif walked up to the stable boy.Pointing to the bay-red horse that had twisted its neck in the stable and refused to look at it, he handed Gesha coins to the stableman and said, "Excuse me, how many catties will be added to it? Okay? Grass. And these? I can’t take it out these days, Lily is probably very bored. If it’s convenient, can someone bring it to the racecourse for a few laps…”

"..." This is the first time the stablekeeper is so happy after seeing his butt kicked? The owner of the horse.After that, Leif added a weird touch to the already ridiculous rumors.

After saying goodbye to Lily, Leif went back to see Princess Boris.

She brought the key with her when she went out. She didn't want to disturb Princess Boris's rest, so she opened the door quietly, and was going to go back to the room to change the clothes that were soiled by Lily.

After gently closing the door, voices were heard.The pair of twin maids sent by Prince Terani before were sent back after the night when Princess Boris changed back into a flower.The public's speech is that Princess Bolis is not used to having them take care of her, and she is grateful for the prince's kindness and so on.In fact, the reason was that Natia Vida was worried that there would be some abnormality in Boris again. If there were outsiders here, it would be very troublesome if they were discovered.So right after Leif went out, there were only two people left in the room, Princess Boris and the female envoy, and the voices they spoke were indeed from these two people.

……

"Dear? Princess Boris, do you know that Miss Knight didn't rest because she waited for you all night? She just rested for a while, and you sent her out again to run errands for you."

"...I know?...Natya Vida...I didn't think so much just now..."

"Your performance just now made Miss Knight very worried, please be sure to control yourself well..."

"...Sorry, I won't do this next time?"

"Perhaps you don't know that any of your reckless actions will have part of the consequences for you, the innocent lady knight, and she will fulfill your wishes regardless of the consequences ?. Please think twice in the future.”

"I……"

……

It's not so much a dialogue as Natia Vida's unilateral rebuke.

Natia Vida stopped talking when she heard the sound of the door opening and closing.But Lev still heard a few words, though? She wasn't sure if she heard it wrong.These words are all related to himself, and when the female envoy spoke to Princess Boris, she actually had a sense of blame.This doesn't seem like something that Mrs. Natia Vida, who has always been gentle and considerate, would do.The brown-haired knight shook his head, getting rid of the unreasonable guesses that popped up in his heart.

"Princess Boris, Lord Natia Vida, I have already sent the things to Prince Terani." Leif saluted Princess Boris, and when she raised her head, Unexpectedly, I saw Princess Boris with a somewhat? sorry? expression.

Just when Leif was holding something and just going out, Princess Boris just changed herself from a mushroom in the quilt to a pancake in the quilt, as if she wanted to hide herself in the dark Until the end of time, never come out to see people? Appearance?.Using this method to escape from reality, to avoid the embarrassing things she has done that have caused actual impact... According to the previous experience, Leif thought that Princess Boris would at least shut herself up to the sky When it was dark? I didn't expect her to come out so soon.

She is sitting by the bed at the moment, her dress is wrinkled, her hair is not well taken care of, and a few of them are curled up in unsightly postures. , the originally bulging face also seems to be not so full.The state has not been adjusted yet, but it has gotten worse.

"Prince Tehni..." When Princess Boris heard Leif say "Prince Tehni", her eyes lit up and her face turned red. She finally mustered up her courage He wanted to ask more, but caught Natia Vida's unkind gaze, and hurriedly changed his words, "Laifu, I'm so sorry, I just found out? You didn't sleep well all night because you were waiting for me. Now I'm already...I'm fine...you go to rest first..."

Natia Vida raised her hand, put it to her lips, and yawned slightly.

Princess Boris added another half sentence: "...to rest with Natia Vida."

"Dear Princess Boris, thank you for your concern. I am in good spirits now." After saying this, Leif was soon infected by Natia Vida, and also gave a slap yawn.She closed her mouth without changing her expression, and then said, "If you want to know... about Prince Tenny..."

"I..." Princess Boris thought of her bad performance last night, her face turned blue and then red, her fingers tightly gripped the sheet under her body, she lowered her head and said, "What if it's bad news? By the way, Lev, can you be a little later? Tell me? If Prince Tenni says he hates me, never again? Don't see me...you never tell me, okay..."

"There is no bad news, but there is good news. Princess Boris, you have over-thought." Leif said seriously, "About the proposal ring you have been looking for, you have not forgotten to get it. Maybe it's not lost..." Leff described the appearance of the ring once, and was affirmed by Natia Vida.

When Princess Boris mentioned the "ring" in Leif's mind, she couldn't help screaming when she said "little sweetheart" without shame, and at the same time made some unseemly actions With a sound, he pulled up the quilt and covered his face.After being bored for a while, he removed the quilt covering his face, and peeked at Leif who wanted to say something but dared not, "Why don't you hurry up? Keep talking!" And buried his own face in the quilt.

"...that ring is in the hands of Prince Tenny. He seems to have some impressions of it, and he even asked me who the owner of the ring is and where did he get it from?" Leif said.

Princess Boris asked in a muffled voice, "Did you tell him, Leif?"

"I don't know the situation, so I don't dare to talk nonsense." Leff said, yawned again, and then blinked a few times suddenly to get rid of the mist in the eyes, "I suggest that Prince Tenny and You discussed this matter in person, so I assume he will meet you soon."

"Appointment... appointment..." Princess Boris repeated, and then the whole person fell on the bed? Rolled around on the bed at an extremely slow speed, and then rolled back to the original position. position, and then stay in place.Very? Suddenly, she suddenly sat up? Come, and then screamed without a face, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Natia Vida and Leif looked at each other and shook their heads. I don't know? Is Princess Boris back to normal or not.

Princess Boris was tired, so she lay down again and never moved again.

Natia Vida leaned over, pushed Boris into the bed, and then straightened her arms and legs.Then he got up, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and let the sun shine in.

The brown-haired knight girl was sitting on the sofa, with a straight body, but her head was knocking down like a chicken pecking rice.

Natia Vida walked over, handwritten it to Leif's armpit, and helped her up from the sofa.

Leff looked at Princess Boris lying on the palace bed in a daze. The latter's head was still covered by the quilt, but her hands and feet were exposed. She looked at the female envoy in surprise and asked, "Nati Lord Yavida, do you want Princess Boris to sleep like this?"

"Her hands and feet are still outside, so she won't feel stuffy, Miss Knight." Natia Vida said, "What's more, she will feel more secure?"

Leif was quite sleepy at first, but after she and the female envoy lay down on the bed, she became much more energetic.She couldn't forget how Princess Boris was sleeping with her face covered and her limbs exposed. The corners of her mouth were always upturned, and she would blow a puff of air from her nose from time to time.She is laughing.

Natia Vida turned over and hugged Lev into her arms with a hook of her arms. Her tone was sleepy, so her voice was a little hoarse, like a rustling jam. She was on Lev's head. He murmured, "Well, what is Miss Knight thinking?"

Lev was used to this posture, and didn't think it was strange for a while, and replied: "I was thinking, plants and people are really very different, even if they become people... When the weather changes, it will be greatly affected, and the change will be so big that it seems to be another person at all, really..." She wanted to say it was very funny.

"...Miss Knight thinks this is very? Terrible?" Natia Vida asked.

Leif said: "Of course not. I just felt a little surprised when I saw Princess Boris become... that way for the first time. I have accepted it now? I don't think it's strange. As for the idea of ​​being afraid, it never occurred to me from the very beginning..."

"...why?" Natia Vida asked, "she's not human. As far as I know, most people when they see a thing? , the first reaction is fear. Fear arises because of ignorance.”

After pausing for a while, he said again: "In the face of fear, humans usually don't choose to understand it, but directly eliminate the source of fear. This creates hostility, and I can't wait to wipe out all the other races..."

As the female envoy spoke, her voice became softer, so Leif only heard the first half.

"How could it be? Princess Boris's? The body is just a platycodon flower." Leif thought to herself that Princess Boris grew up in the village of Ed, maybe she won't be able to wait for her to grow into a flower essence? That day Since then, the roots have been dug up and pickled into kimchi.When she looks at Princess Boris now, she sometimes has the cruel idea of ​​"food becomes a spirit", so she said with a little guilty conscience, "Such a weak body, people only worry that they will hurt her if they are not careful. How can I be afraid? If it is a tiger spirit, poisonous snake spirit or big bad wolf spirit, maybe I will be afraid..."

"..." Natia Vida's eyes widened suddenly, and the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared without a trace, "This is not fair." Obviously tigers, poisonous snakes and gray wolves are also very fragile creatures. ah.

Lev didn't pick up on this, and changed the subject and said: "I want to know? Why does Lord Natia Vida stay with Princess Boris? Don't tell me, your relationship is the same as the current one. ?identity implies?the same?...”

"This is because Princess Boris told? I..." Natia Vida rolled her eyes and said softly, "She will definitely become a princess. She has no one to rely on now, so she can only rely on me Come and help her. If she gets her wish, she promised? Give me something important? In exchange..."

Leif nodded half-understood, thinking of his previous guesses, he couldn't help but feel a little funny: "So that's the case. I was still thinking that since Princess Boris is a bellflower flower, so what kind of flower will Natia Vida-sama be?"

Natia Vida was also amused by this statement: "So, what kind of flower does Miss Knight think I look like?"

Leif fell silent suddenly, and then her breathing gradually became even.Just when Natia Vida thought she was asleep?
