[Slow Travel] How to show affection correctly

Irene was sitting on a chair with a simple shape, with one hand resting on her chin, her eyes closed, she looked very beautiful.

She was so tired that she hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, and she had to seize every gap to let herself rest for a while.The sage sat in the corner, occasionally looking over with distressed eyes.

"Your Highness."

Erin put down her hands and sat up straight: "Come in."

"Your Highness, Your Excellency Wayne wants to see you."

Kabolan's young queen tensed her entire body. From the day of planning, the situation she least wanted to face finally came.

She has no choice, the key is still in the hands of the former king.The high tower is built with an extremely strong material, and even the only door leading to the top of the tower is tightly locked, and can only be opened with the key made of a strange material.

"I'll be heading to the dungeon in an hour."

The sage walked over, he wanted to kiss her forehead lightly like he used to, but he couldn't.Jeffrey held the white staff that never left his body, and cast a healing spell on Irene. The milky white light enveloped her, looking like a beautiful goddess who just walked out of the temple.

"Thanks, I feel better."

"My honor." The sage performed a strange courtesy, and no one except him knew what it meant.

"The way you look now is really not the same as that day. After all, if it wasn't for your interruption, I must teach that guy a lesson."

Geoffrey didn't speak, but responded with a smile.How could he tell the other party that the thief had long since turned into a puddle of blood, and he would not allow anyone to do anything rude to Irene.

"You can let me do all this, it will be easier and better." The sage put on a dark red cloak for Her Royal Highness, which was his favorite color.

Irene expressed great disapproval of his proposal: "Come on, I never intended to kill him."

Jeffrey spread his hands helplessly. What she said was indeed correct. The power of a sage is extreme, either depriving life or giving life.For him, if it weren't for Irene's insistence, the former king of Kabolan would not have survived until now.

They walked through long tunnels that led to the strongest dungeons in the kingdom.

"Irene, no, maybe I should call you Your Highness the Queen?" In the deepest cell, the former king, Wayne, was imprisoned there.

However, Irene didn't want to pay attention to the other party's sarcasm. She stood in front of the cell door and asked directly, "Where is the key?"

"That's all you've done?"

"Yes."

"Haha——" Wayne laughed loudly, he walked out from the corner of the cell, muttering: "I really didn't expect you to be able to do this."

"The key to the tower, where is it?"

The unshaven man held the railing tightly with his hands, and he stared at Irene viciously, the bloodshot inside made him look a little scary: "My dear Queen, that thing is in my stomach .”

Seeing that Irene's expression remained unchanged, he showed a smug smile: "Don't you think that the gatekeeper of the tower escaped or hid?"

"The gatekeeper...damn it! What did you do to her?" Irene thought of something, and her hands under the cloak trembled.

"Oh my sweet little Irene, I think if you don't see that woman in time, she'll just bleed all the blood and turn into a dry, ugly corpse."

The gatekeeper is very loyal to Wayne, and he will send a small amount of food to the tower every day after receiving the king's summons.The gatekeeper had been told that if he did not receive any news the next day, he would use a sharp knife to cut several wounds on the sinner's body, so that she could only die in loneliness and pain.

It had been a whole day since they had captured the king, and perhaps while they were talking, no, perhaps earlier, the gatekeeper had gone up to the tower.

"How can you!" Irene yelled loudly, tears kept pouring out, her eyes were blurred, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Jeffrey stepped forward and hugged the queen, who had been pretending to be calm and strong, in his arms. He put one hand behind Irene's head, allowing her to hide in his arms.

"Kiss of eternity."

The dark red viscous liquid spread from the top of the staff towards the cell, like a bunch of wriggling worms, crawling towards their own feast.

Wayne couldn't even utter a single syllable. His brain could no longer control his body's movements. Even though he was being bitten by bits and the pain was extreme, he couldn't make any response.

He watched his fingers turn into bones, then his wrist, his forearm... and when the magic was over, all that remained was a bunch of scattered bones and a black key.

The sage waved his staff, and the key came out of the gap in the railing and fell into his hand.

"Irene, I think we should go back."

Jeffrey gently stroked the beautiful red hair, and the black-robed sage knew that his highness would soon cheer up and return to his original proud appearance.

"I'm going to the tower." Irene raised her head, her face was still stained with tears, but her eyes were very firm - even if her mother was dead, she wanted to see that person again.

"it is good."

"Mr. Kraken."

Beryl ran out from the manor, followed by Prince Leanne.They saw the mermaid whose face was still stained with blood, but tacitly didn't ask anything.

"Irene asked me to convey that she is very grateful for Mr. Siren's help, but she is too busy now, and it will take some time before she can thank you in person."

She looked at Ryan, and after getting a positive nod from that person, she continued: "But Ryan and I are going back to Corritia first, and we can't help her any more now, this is the Kabolan royal family. And Ryan needs to go back to his country, there's going to be a celebration of an alliance with Caplan soon, and he needs to go back and prepare."

"Mr. Siren, do you want to go with us?" Beryl looked at Bai Mo expectantly. She liked Siren very much. It would be great if she could stay with him for a while.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I still have to stay in Serann for a while." He took out a small box and handed it to the little mermaid: "Just take it as my apology, but I can only open it when I go back. "

Beryl took the small silver box and smiled sweetly at Bai Mo.

Ryan stroked her hair softly, expressed his gratitude to the sea monster and the mermaid again and hoped that they would participate in the celebration, and bid farewell after getting a positive answer.
