Chapter 58 chapter Five
Before he knew it, the sun had already set in the west, and the sunlight slanted in from the balcony outside the window.
The square sunlight floats in the air like a gossamer in the room.The places where the sun hits are very bright, and the places where the sun does not shine appear dark.A story from three hundred years ago, invisibly entwined between reddish light and dark corners.
"I hadn't heard these stories at all before."
I heard Carl sigh and choke, and woke up.
Whoa, whoa.Even Nelia and Athelhand unconsciously leaned forward, completely immersing themselves in the story told by Princess Demi.Alfred also straightened up and leaned towards Princess Demi.Historical stories are usually dull and boring, but the story of Princess Demi is very interesting?It would be nice to care a little bit about history in the future.
Carl spoke.
"What happened to Hendrick?"
"The Fairy Queen Dalanian sent Hendrick to the Byzos military camp and left without leaving a word. Hendrick was revived by the priests using divine power. But divine power will seriously affect magic power .Hendrick was unable to perform magic for weeks after being brought back to life. Yet he remained in bed commanding the Byzos army."
"The most famous retreat tactic was done by Hendrick lying on the bed?"
Shan Sen's voice was very surprised.Ghisien also expressed surprise, and Princess Demi smiled and said: "Hendrek once said: When thinking, associate all things with magic, and then remove the magic part, so that , the brain will be more clear."
We all had faint smiles on our faces.hum.I suddenly remembered the commotion at the Tower of Light a few days ago.Carl clasped his hands on his knees and said, "There are many thought-provoking sentences in Hendrick's words."
"Hmph. The dwarves who act independently."
Esaihand muttered in a dissatisfied tone.His beard is like golden wicker in the afterglow of the setting sun.Carl smiled, his eyelashes glistening in the golden light.
The phrase "My King" This phrase keeps coming to my mind.My king, is that what you said? Then I should be placed in the front, and the king should be placed in the back.Is the king a character who exists because of me?I get really cranky.
Hey, never mind so much.
Dinner time is a nightmare.
As we were ushered to the splendid dining table, we became depressed and listless for a moment.Of course, Esaihande and Ghisien, and Shansen are exceptions.The rest of us, sitting at a table covered with a tablecloth cleaner than our underwear, feel restrained and unaccustomed, while the servants in the palace are proud of their professionalism and well-trained appearance expression, elegantly and gently brought in the meals one after another.Uh uh uh uh!I was able to dine in the palace!
It's such an honor.However, the so-called eating in the palace and enjoying the glory means that in addition to putting some necessities on the table, such as salt and seasonings, there will also be a lot of things that are not needed at all.Things that get in the way, that's what it is, and it didn't take me long to discover that.Oh well, really!
Thanks to Tuo Shansen, I did the embarrassing things for me first, so that I would not be like him and almost drink the hand washing water.But the dishes on the table also make us one head and two big, and we don't know what to do.
"What should I eat?"
Cautiously, I raised the distress signal to Carl.I don't want him to tell me what the name of the dish is.But as long as he tells me what is torn by hand, what is eaten with a fork, and what is eaten with a spoon, I will be very lucky.Carl murmured with a serious expression: "Just refer to His Highness Gisien's eating method."
"You are so smart!"
Alfred is much wiser than us.He's a wizard, so he's smarter?
Alfred only chooses food that he knows how to eat.So he only touches two kinds of food, soup and bread.Shansen and Athelhand are completely opposite to Avned, which makes Carl and I go crazy.Those two people swept the meal that should be eaten according to etiquette into their mouths with exaggerated movements that seemed to be eloquent.Fortunately, there is Ghisien's slow eating movements for reference. With some common sense, Carl, Nelia, and these three people who are very tired at this time can finish dinner while looking at Ghisien.
But... this matter is really unbearable.
That's why the servants in the palace want to watch other people's appearance when they are eating!I protested wordlessly to them.Damn it!Don't understand why they stand next to people who are eating.Of course, it can be guessed that they want to provide delivery service during our meal, but no matter what, how can we eat with someone standing by.In addition, these dishes are the first time I have seen them in my life, so it's no wonder that they don't drive me crazy.
I finish dinner like I'm on a tough mission.Almost trembling, he escaped from the restaurant.I don't remember what I ate or what it tasted like just now.Nelia and Carl followed closely behind me, and Gishien and Avned walked out slowly.Only Shan Sen and Ai Saihande still occupy the restaurant, flattering the chief chef of the palace.
Nelia couldn't stand it anymore, and said seriously: "Let's leave them alone."
"Okay, I agree."
So we left them there and walked up to the third floor.
Our bedroom is next to the large conference room where we gather in the morning.Carl and Shansen shared the same room with me, Ghisien shared the same room with Alfred and Ethelhand, and Nelia shared a room by herself.I tested the elasticity of the palace luxury mattress with my foot and left the room immediately.Because Carl, who was reading a book, kept coughing dryly.
Walking out of the meeting room, I saw Nelia and Alvned sitting at the table.Ghisien seemed to be still nestled in the room.The other two gluttonous ghosts were probably flattering the chief chef, and they didn't seem to come up yet.Nelia looked around with a surprised expression.
"Oh my god... now I feel a little real. Nighthawk Nelia actually came to the palace, saw the dinner of the princes and nobles, and was sitting here leisurely."
I sat at the table and asked Nelia:
"I've always wanted to ask you a question. Is it hard to be imprisoned in the Thieves Guild? Did you not get bullied?"
"Yeah. It's okay. Although I was a prisoner there, no matter what, I'm a fellow traveller, and I won't be bullied."
"Is that why you saved me that time and sent me back?"
Upon hearing this, Nelia shifted her gaze to me.Her eyes shone like a smile.
"Yeah, leave you little brat and leave by yourself, how can you feel at ease?"
"I see, I see, old woman."
Nelia Tickle smiled and pinched my nose with her fingers.Uh uh uh!
"Hey, tell me. How did you steal that book? I'm almost losing face as a Nighthawk."
Immediately I gush happily, telling Nelia about our plans.At the time I was a man in disguise.Nelia couldn't stop laughing, and expressed great interest in my outfit.Then it was mentioned that we had sneaked in with Avnaid's entourage of wizards.
Nelia clapped her palms.Then we heard the Activation Whisper by telepathy spell.Nelia nodded almost as if she was not breathing.Then we also caused a thieves' riot, and Avnaid took the opportunity to sneak into the mansion with invisibility.Nelia nodded with amazed eyes, then turned to look at Alvned.What an expressive girl.
"and then?"
Alfred smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing serious. I sneaked into the Marquis's house and found that everyone was looking around on the first floor, paying attention to the changes around them. So it was easy for me to sneak I went to the second floor, and then read the activation code and went up to the third floor. There are many rooms on the third floor, and it took me a while to find the room of the Marquis. In fact, I checked every room, and found that there was a room in which The bookshelf, I guess it should be the room of the Marquis. I easily found the book with the blue cover. I was worried that there would be some mechanism or trap, because it is the room that the Marquis often uses, of course I was too worried The Marquis probably thought it would be enough to use space teleportation and attach an alarm spell to each window."
Alvnaid went on to say that he later broke out the front window and escaped through the back window.Then I added about Carl's judgment on the actions at that time, etc., and the words were hype, and both Alfred and Nelia made expressions of admiration.
"You're so smart...Really, everyone is so smart. Hmm. Ever since I met you guys like Xiu Qi, I often feel that I'm such a bad thief."
"Oh, don't think so. We're just lucky!"
"Xiu Qi is right. The plan this time was very hasty. We are all beginners. We succeeded because of luck."
Nelia giggled.Then I went on to say, "Then, this time it's up to you to tell us. Didn't you hear any trouble when you were arrested?"
"Huh? Hear what?"
"It's Nex. Is he dissatisfied with something, that's why he launched a mutiny? Didn't you hear any information worth referring to?"
"No, I didn't hear anything. I was almost imprisoned in the prison, and I didn't see Nex at all. I tried to get some news from the thief staying there, but there was nothing to follow."
"Is that so? Huh. What is he dissatisfied with and wants to start a rebellion?"
"That's right."
At this time, the stairs leading to the bottom came from the pleasant singing that was humming with the nose.We looked down the stairwell.
Shan Sen and Ai Saihande lined up horizontally, yes, such a weird composition is really unreasonable... Shan Sen and Ai Saihande lined up horizontally, climbing the stairs.While picking their teeth, the two of them rubbed their stomachs, with a look of fullness.Moreover, these two people each held a wine bottle in each hand, a total of four bottles of wine, and walked over with them.Nelia said happily: "Wow! Look, there is wine!"
Shan Sen grinned and flicked the toothpick into the air.
"The chief chef seems to like us very much? He said this is a gift for us."
"Hehehehe. It would be great if you stayed a little longer. Then you can bring some back."
I felt something was wrong and asked them suspiciously.
"Wait a minute. Are you saying you're being given wine because you cleaned up all the food?"
"Huh? Oh, of course, please. We said that after eating such delicious food, should we pair it with some good wine, and then the chief chef said that he knew it and immediately gave us wine as a gift?"
Gift... I think it should be said to be a stolen item, or it would be more appropriate to say it is a spoil of war.
The common sense guests are gone, the poor palace servants and chief chef have to deal with the two polite ogres and dwarves who threaten to hand over the wine with no one to stop them, my heart mourns for them one time.
Then I started to drink and see.Puff haha!
I drank in a hurry in order to forget that Shan Sen's face that was annoyingly floating in front of my eyes.So when I asked Carl the next day, I found out that last night I hugged the wine bottle and got under the table and fell asleep.I asked why they didn't stop me and everyone said it was no big deal and normal.Probably everyone was drunk at that time.
The next morning, I experienced another truly moving experience. "Shansen...do you believe it?" "Believe in what?" "I washed my face with hot water for the first time!" "Actually, it's my first time too. It scared me..." This experience will be a pleasant memory in my life.But the breakfast in the palace was another matter, as painful as before.Why are the dishes for dinner and breakfast in the palace completely different?I had no choice but to leave another pile of annoying dishes on the dining table, my legs were weak and trembling with fright, and I ran back to the room to rest.Not long after, Riffy Twarison, the Minister of the Interior of the Palace, brought five palace servants and came to us with each of our dresses. Karl looked at Riffy Twarison and the five official servants with an unhappy expression.Gissien sighed.Seeing our unwelcome expressions, Riffy Twarison was a little at a loss.Riffy Twarison cleared his throat: "This is a dress given by His Majesty the King." Although Karl looked doubtful whether we should go out in this kind of clothes, he still replied calmly. "thank you." "Then, Miss Nelia, please come with me." "Me? Why?" "That...His Highness Demi Reynolds will explain it to you. Princess Demi and the maids will help prepare Miss Nelia's dress." "Really? Hmm." Nelia followed Riffy Twarison out of the conference room.After Riffy Twarison and the servants and Nelia went out, we looked at the clothes we each got. Shan Sen opened his mouth wide.Not knowing how to match the clothes, they gave Shan Sen an oversized dress, and Shan Sen smiled slightly.Esaihand was also taken aback.They were given clothes suitable for a dwarf's frame. "Oh, it's amazing." As soon as Esaihand finished speaking, he immediately threw his clothes away.Ghisien said in surprise, "Don't you wear it?" "Why should I wear it? I am the beater of the dwarves. Please don't interfere with what the independent dwarves do." Hearing that, Alvnaid laughed.The robes they gave to Avnaid were snow white, very tasteful clothes.Alvned said with a look of embarrassment: "This dress is too gorgeous." "It's a dress, it doesn't matter. You don't want to wear it to walk on the main road, do you? And you must look like a top magician in this dress." Alvnaid smiled humbly.That's right, you must look like a sage in that dress. Then I looked at the clothes they gave me, and hey, sighed.There is fluff on the shoulders, white lace that is sure to appear on the pink blouse.My God, I'm going crazy! You see, even the cuffs are embroidered! "It's what children wear." Gissien smiled. "Then you are an old man?" Hearing what he said, I wish I was an old man.Carl sighed when he saw his blue dress, as did I, so I looked at mine and smiled.I threw the dress away and declared, "No way! I'm never going out in this dress." "Are you going to do it? Then I will too." Ghisien looked at the clothes he had given himself, worried for a while, and finally threw it away. "I'll be your companion, Xiu Qi. There's no need for me to promise my sister to abide by etiquette." Not long after, Riffy Twarison returned after taking Nelia to the princess.He was very surprised to see us.Shan Sen, Avned and Karl all put on new clothes and waited politely, while I, Ghisien and Isaihand were still wearing the original clothes.Riffy Twarison asked us in great trepidation: "What about three, three?" Isaihande said seriously: "The clothes I'm wearing now are the best clothes among the dwarves. Even the clothes that your human king bestows are not as tasteful and polite as my clothes. of." After listening to the words of the dwarf beater, Riffy Twarison was in a daze, unable to reply, and then looked at Ghisien. "Then, Your Highness, you...?" "Don't you remember how I dressed when I was in the palace?" Riffy Twarison looked at me almost in tears.I said without waiting for him to ask: "Because I know His Majesty the King is a person who doesn't like hypocrisy, so I decided to wear ordinary clothes to meet His Majesty the King. I met him like this in the study last time. " Riffy Twarison's expression that was about to cry changed immediately.He looked at me for a long time, and said in another tone: "Although His Majesty's grace comes from all directions like water, the water can flow without leaving a trace." What words?Ah, this sentence. 'No matter how much merit you have done, once you act rashly, you will be nothing. 'Is that what you mean?snort!Say what you want.Even if you say that, you can't make me wear that childish dress.I didn't answer him, I straightened my shoulders, and Riffy Twarison turned around to lead us without saying a word. We left the conference room and walked down the corridor leading to the lobby.It was a long and gorgeous corridor, in other words, a corridor that was very inconvenient to walk.I was walking helplessly, when Shansen suddenly asked me: "Hey, Xiu Qi. Please confirm for me." "What do you want to confirm?" "Is that person over there Nelia?" On the other side of the path we walked, there was a girl walking with the maids. You said that person is Nelia?Hey, Shan Sen is also true.Nonsense eight, eight, eight, Tao... oh my god. "I may not be qualified to do confirmation." Ouch hey my gosh.Now is the person who is walking gently on the floor dragging the hem of the dress skirt? Nelia?Nelia smiled shyly. The dress with exposed shoulders brought out Nelia's skin texture.A healthy, slightly tanned complexion went well with the red dress, which also matched Nelia's red hair.Although I knew that Nelia was very thin, but wearing that dress and walking on the trail, Nelia's slender waist is more obvious, and she can almost feel the rhythm of her waist breathing, which is really amazing.There are decorative lines on the skirt, and what is also very special is that the line pattern is used to create a black gradient effect on the bottom of the skirt, and the color becomes darker the lower the skirt.So Nelia's overall appearance looks like this: the lower part is black, the waist is thin and bright red, the shoulders and face are white because of the color of the dress, and the upper part of the hair is red again.So it was like the rising sun above the black mountains, making people have to focus their attention on her.What a rare brilliant color matching technique. "Well, Miss Nelia? She's so beautiful." Hearing Carl's praise, Nelia pursed her lips and smiled.Seeing me, Nelia showed a surprised expression. "Xiu Qi, you?" "Yeah. If I had known earlier, I would also go to see Princess Daimei. If it was Princess Daimei, she would definitely make better clothes for me." "You don't like your clothes?" "Yeah, it's okay. Nelia, you're really pretty." "Hey hey hey. The whole face was covered with thick foundation. The sneezing and sneezing almost killed me." Shan Sen made a serious assessment. "Now you can be arrested on the charge of being too beautiful." "What? Oh my God! Even Shan Sen made such a joke? Hehehe." After reuniting with Nelia, we started walking again. Walking along the gorgeous corridors in the palace, our group became less and less confident as we walked.There were only two exceptions, Gishien and Ethhand who regarded the palace as their home. Why?Just think about it. On the way we walked, the people in the palace lined up beside us, bowed nearly 180 degrees to us, and finally walked to the solemn hall.As soon as we walked in, the entire line of soldiers on both sides said "Tuck!" in unison and raised their heels to greet us.The sound was very loud, the door was opened to the left and right, and in an instant, flowers were scattered in the center. We stepped out very scared and walked inside, and the horn sounded immediately!Loud and piercing voices filled my ears, and what stood in front of me was the solemn hall.Ugh!Can't!No one said it was like this!I really want to run back now and change my clothes again! This is really not a joke... I don't know who the designer of the solemn hall is, and the design has a bit of evil.The aisle in Nuoda in the middle is higher than the floor of the hall, protruding about one cubit, so the civil and military officials lined up on the left and right can naturally look up and see the people walking on the aisle.Although I don't know which side is a civil servant and which side is a military officer, I only saw a whole row of men wearing blue dresses, and a row of men opposite them wearing yellow dresses. Probably because he was meeting with His Majesty the King, he couldn't carry his sword with him, so he couldn't tell the difference between civil servants and military officials. The design above the hall is even more impressive.The four corners of the walls on the left and right sides are decorated with portraits of women who look like noble ladies, and some are portraits of men in different dresses, who seem to be standing in the corner and looking down at us.It has reached the point where people's eyes neither dare to look down nor look up.You can only look at the back of the head of the person in front of you and move forward.How do you say it is the person in the front and the front?Because the person walking in front of me is none other than Ai Saihande.I don't know where Gishien and Karl who are walking in the front are looking? At the front of the trail we walked on, there was a row of high-rise stairs, on which a chair that looked like a throne was placed.His Majesty King Nissien sat upright on the throne.Because there are majestic officials standing on the left and right sides, and I am standing in the middle, wearing clothes mixed with dust and sweat, which looks like a rag.When the well-dressed civil and military officials on the left and right saw my attire, they couldn't help discussing in a low voice, looking a little embarrassed.Even breathing quickened.Damn, what are they doing?We managed to catch the spies (and important documents of course) and they dared to point fingers at us.We were listless and filed forward.Because if you don't walk, you may fall down. When we were halfway to the center, the trumpets started to play again.blah blah blah blah.I don't know what the special meaning is, and we stopped for a moment while walking.When the civil and military officials next to them heard the sound of the horn, they faced forward and knelt down.Ah, it turned out to be this.We all quickly knelt down.Oh!my knees!Only Esaihand didn't kneel down, and even if he didn't kneel down, he probably only reached the height of my eyes.I peeked aside.Nelia seemed to be struggling, and knelt on the ground with a blushing face.It seems that she wants to spread the skirt to the side and get into a kneeling posture, so she looks powerless. "Please calm down." Sitting in the quiet and solemn hall, His Majesty King Nissien's voice could be heard very clearly. The deep voice came unexpectedly loudly.Maybe it's a good design?We stood up after a while, and the surrounding officials also stood up.After a burst of uproar, it immediately returned to the previous silence. "King Byzos, knight among knights, I, Nixien Byzos, welcome you all." How are we going to return the gift?Everyone panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do. Standing in front of the king, the gorgeously dressed man picked up the document with very elegant movements and began to read it aloud. "The extremely evil, treacherous, tyrannical, cruel, and senseless Jeppen evil people, with the evil hand of the wrath of heaven and man, in our most, supreme, supreme, most benevolent, most beloved King Nixien, with the infinite holy Chong Longen came to rule the land of Byzos, which is full of blessings, and launched a senseless war of harm. To this day, the poor people are afraid and anxious, and the people's anxiety is increasing day by day. Endless violence and disloyalty It is a given that insurrections are rampant everywhere. Look at Nex Thuriz. In this reality, the temptation to evil deeds, no matter the status, even the voices of the famous families of the past generations, the children and grandchildren Under the favor of His Majesty the King, Sun Biyin, a descendant of a peerless family, ignored the grace of grace, and colluded with the extremely evil, treacherous, tyrannical, cruel, and immoral Jeppen evil people, resulting in tragic events. But only justice Gentlemen can regurgitate the infinite light of grace, use invisible power to fight against the famous families of all ages, and even the hand of His Majesty, the supreme, the supreme, the most benevolent, the most beloved King Nixien, jointly opened such amazing, righteous, glorious of……" No, not now!Do not doze off now!But now I feel like I'm asleep.Although I was very nervous and listened carefully to the recitation, I couldn't understand a word.The words he said were just noises to me.Ah ah ah. I can't take it anymore! "...because...therefore...therefore...or...but...because of this, the above facts are quite clear." I don't know exactly what it is.After saying those stinky and long words, even the clear things will be confused by him, and it is not clear at all. "...Because it is... Therefore it is... Although it is... Or... Because of this, it is even more surprising." Yes, yes, it is truly amazing and irreplaceable to be able to say that long list of words. Although the soles of my feet were itchy and crazy, the only thing I could do was roll my eyes desperately under the watchful eyes of everyone.Just when I was thinking that this torment might last forever: "Praise these brave people!" Bong Reader, who was reading aloud from a document in his hand, suddenly burst out this sentence, which really made me angry. Want everyone to praise?understood.Who are those valiant people?Oh wow, damn it!If I knew it earlier, I would raise my hand enthusiastically.Heck, it doesn't matter what it is, just praise it.When I raised my hand halfway. "Praise them!" There were warm applause and shouts from left and right.It turned out to be us!I raised my hand halfway, but I was embarrassed to put it down and moved it to the back of my head, as if I was holding the back of my head in embarrassment. At this time, even His Majesty King Nissien stood up and applauded for us.His Majesty Nicien walked towards us slowly.The applause around us became more and more enthusiastic. His Majesty Nissien walked up to us and shook hands with us one by one. "Karl Hutant. It's like he came to Byzos Imperial City just to surprise me." Karl did not specifically respond to the king's words for this reason.He just nodded in return.But His Majesty Nissien tightly clenched his hand, and then simply hugged him.Karl had a flattered look on his face. His Majesty Nissien then held Giseon's hand tightly. "Brother. Even though you are a commoner, you have really benefited me a lot from my insignificant brother." Ghisien grinned and replied simply: "Your Highness, your words are an honor that I am ashamed of." His Majesty Nissien moved his body and grabbed Esaihand's hand, "The great dwarf beater, Isaihand Eindev. You have shown infinite great friendship to human beings, and you will help me with all your strength. Nixien will never forget." "You are welcome. King Byzos." Isaihande gave such a short answer.His Majesty Nicien then greeted Avnaid, who was too nervous and his legs were shaking all the time, and he also stuttered when answering. Then His Majesty Nissien walked towards Nelia, bent his knees slightly, and gently kissed the back of Nelia's hand. Nelia blushed for a moment, and from her mouth that didn't know what to say, she muttered casually. what.Finally His Majesty Nissien shook my hand. "The Candlemaker Candidate in the Hetant Territory, Xiuqi Niedfa. Although he is young, he knows how to serve the king, my beloved and dear people." you love Me?Oh, I'm so sorry.I don't love you.I don't like boys.Also, don't take what we do lightly as loyalty to you.We're only doing it for our Nelia.I said, "It's really my honor, Your Highness." Went to his! We all got what seemed like a thing, medals and decorations from the king.Ouch, my headache is killing me.How these ceremonies went on, I have no recollection at all.The only thing I remember is the huge crowd, and the clapping from the crowd. After finally finishing the complicated ceremony, we escaped from the ceremony field where we received the ceremony.Regardless of his solemn hall or something, I just feel like my head is about to explode.Nelia ran to find Princess Demi, and the rest of us gathered in the conference room on the third floor.We hadn't been sitting for long when we heard terrible news from Riffy Twarison who came running. "prom?" Riffy Twarison said it was to celebrate our achievements, and came here to convey the fact that there will be a dance after the dinner.Stop kidding, how is it possible.I want to leave immediately.At this time, Karl had a completely resigned expression. "At the dinner party?" "Yes, after the dinner." "Do you have to participate? We have all attended the medal presentation ceremony..." "So now I want to introduce you to my courtiers on a relaxed occasion." Carl looked like he was about to fall asleep. "Got it. When will it start?"
When it was dinner time, Riffy Twarison took us away again.I was in a state of distress.Could it be that this time I really have to close my eyes and put on that childish dress? I made a decision.never! "Want to wear that to the ball?" "I can't dance anyway. I'll stand in the corner and be right back." Carl nodded. "Actually... I think so too." We talked and walked down. Here comes the lobby.Ornate ornaments adorn the freshly painted white walls, and a group of well-dressed people fills the lobby.There are plenty of food stacked on the tables in the four sides, a spacious dance floor in the center, chairs are placed along the walls, and the musicians responsible for the accompaniment are gathered on the other side.What a luxury.I opened my mouth wide, but tried hard not to let the saliva flow down. Greetings, self-introduction, greetings, my god, I'm going crazy.I have to greet a bunch of people, from the south of the hall to the north of the hall, from the east of the hall to the west of the hall. After I greet everyone, I can no longer tell the difference between east, west and south.Although I don't remember any of the people who introduced themselves to us, Carl still smiled politely all the way, so I tried to maintain the same demeanor as Carl.Shan Sen and Ai Saihande did not pay special tribute to others. After finally ending this stormy salute, I was very careful not to attract attention.Only then did I stand against the wall as if I had lost my soul.Shansen and Esaihand, who had similar smells, walked towards the dining table full of food, and Avnaid was taken to the corner of the daughters of the princes and nobles for some reason.With a desperate expression on his face, Alvnaid explained to the children of princes and nobles how he was not good at dancing, but his words were ignored.Ghisien and Karl drank with wine glasses in their hands quite tastefully, looking at Alvned's helpless appearance. "Isn't his face very pretty?" A familiar voice came from my ear.I turned my head and saw that Nelia whistled again, and then sighed in a low tone that didn't suit her. "Nelia, you are so beautiful." Nelia changed into a dark black dress this time.The pattern delicately embroidered with gold thread bloomed beautifully like a flower on the black dress.Nelia didn't know why, half of her cheeks turned red.She said, "Hey hey hey. This is Princess Demi's dress. Those maids have worked so hard to get me to wear it." "Because Princess Daimei is very tall...but she modified it to fit quite well, and it looks good in it." "Really? Thanks." Then, when a palace servant carrying a silver plate passed by, Nelia picked up a glass of wine.Nelia leaned against me, watching the dancing crowd.She drank the wine in one gulp and said, "Ah... my hands are so itchy." "Please, please!" "No. I can't bear it any longer. Now, let's go!" After speaking, Nelia quickly put the wine glass back and grabbed Carl's hand.Carl, who was suddenly attacked, was completely confused about the situation and was pulled out.Not long after, Gissy and I saw Nelia and Carl dancing.It turned out to be the case, I let go of my heart, and Ghisien smiled and judged the dancing skills of the two. "Very nice. Carl's dance moves are amazing." While I was laughing, Nelia caught the wine glass I passed.After a while, the music stopped, and the chief attendant announced with a loud voice that the king was coming. I bent down hastily and almost knocked over the wine.call out.fine.The wine glass is empty. Then I looked up.Ah, haven't you arrived yet?Seeing that the people next to me hadn't straightened up yet, I quickly bent down again.But suddenly someone secretly patted me on the back. "Shuki? It's time to get up." It was Ghisien.Ok.Can you stand up now?I looked up and saw His Majesty the King and Princess Daimei were walking into the hall.His Majesty the King took Princess Demi's hand noblely and walked to the center of the hall, and then the music started again immediately, and the two began to dance. "Did His Majesty the King dance with the Princess because Her Royal Highness has not yet entered the palace?" "Well. Yes. Why doesn't that kid marry a wife?" Githion answered briefly.I watched His Majesty the King and Princess Daimei dance, and suddenly laughed.hehe.Really.Princess Daimei is taller than His Majesty Nixien! 然后在距离国王和公主跳舞的不远处，亚夫奈德依旧一副对人世已绝望的表情，被王公贵族的女儿们拉着到处跑。我看来看去只有妮莉亚和卡尔这一对跳得最好的样子。不论身高，体型，两个人的样子非常速配，卡尔高雅的舞步，妮莉亚有模有样的舞姿，相当令人称羡的一对。虽然看起来像一对父女，不过并不会影响到他们速配的感觉。我询问吉西恩，他也认同我的看法。 不久后，音乐结束了，卡尔和妮莉亚又走了回来。 “呜哇！卡尔叔叔的舞技，实在高人一等呢。” “那里，我还比不上妮莉亚小姐，让你辛苦了。” 卡尔温柔地回答。过了不久，亚夫奈德一副好像死过一次的表情走了过来。亚夫奈德头也不回地问我：“修，修奇。那个女孩子还在看我吗？” 我看了看亚夫奈德肩膀后方，在另一边的女孩子。我告诉他那位王公贵族的女儿正用一脸惋惜的表情看着他。然后亚夫奈德一副下定决心要在下一首曲子开始演奏前消失不见的模样，他瞧了瞧四周。可惜这里没有可以逃跑出去的地方。我献上了一些鬼主意，譬如说：要不要躲在桌子底下之类的，亚夫奈德正有这种冲动的时候，妮莉亚过来救了他。 妮莉亚的手往下一摆，弯着腰，说：“我可以请你跳一支舞吗，顶尖魔法师？” 男女角色一下子调换过来，亚夫奈德有些惊慌的表情。可是他回头看了一下那位王公贵族的女儿，马上就下定了决心。 “我很乐意，妮莉亚。” 然后两人就一起走掉了。snort! 我环视了一下，有两个依然故我的贪吃鬼，流连在餐桌前。好强啊……宫中仆人们哭丧着脸，正在尽全力补充餐桌上的食物，希望维持不致被扫光。我再转向另一边。正好看到黛美公主向我们这里走来。黛美公主仔细地瞧着吉西恩，然后吉西恩嘻嘻笑了起来。 “我可以请你跳一支舞吗？” 黛美公主轻轻地拉起裙摆的一角，说：“这是我的荣幸。” “你现在还是会踩到对方的脚吗？” “你试试看吧。” 我笑笑地观看这一幕。哪有踩到对方的脚这回事，两个人很有默契地跳着相当好看的舞呢。这就是舞技高超吗？我也想给卡尔这样的评价，回头望了望他。可是卡尔和我有些距离，正和尼西恩陛下站在一起。 两个人不知在小声地谈论着什么。会是在谈什么呢？我本来想偷偷地走过去看，不让他人注意到我。不过后来还是放弃了这个想法。偷听了又能怎样呢？以后再去问卡尔好了。 我再次靠着墙壁，环视着四周装饰富丽堂皇的景观，把手里空了的酒杯还给宫中仆人，拿了一个新倒好的酒杯。 我的心思突然又飞出了窗外，胡思乱想起来。如果把阿姆塔特带到这里来，会怎么样呢？ 哎呀，这是什么邪恶的念头。现在一片和乐融融的样子。 Ah ah ah.杰米妮。如果你在这里的话。现在那里优雅地跳着舞的吉西恩和黛美公主，还有轻快地跳着舞的妮莉亚和亚夫奈德，我都可以把他们通通抛到一边，和你跳着最迷人的舞了。
“你跟他谈了什么？” 之后离开大厅到会议室时，我问了卡尔。卡尔很绅士地看了我。 “和尼西恩陛下的谈话吗？” "yes." “啊，不是什么大事。” “我就是喜欢听小事嘛。打击比较小。” 卡尔开心一笑。 “殿下要求我担任伊斯公国使节。” 我怀疑是不是听错了。What?使节，什么使节？卡尔表情相当平淡，我想确认一下是不是听错了。 “你可以再说一次吗？” “国王陛下是说伊斯公国的使节。他要我担任这个职位。” 我绝对没有听错。我一脸迷惘地看着卡尔。 “所以你怎么回答？” “我跟他说我不擅长外交。” “等一下。我不懂。” “那里不懂？” “为什么他要你做外交官？国王陛下这样不就是要把你当做宣传用的吗？把你塑造为一个战时英雄，将你纳入旗下，同时也可提高国王的威望。” “虽然你说的是皇宫里的人不喜欢听的话，可是你说得没错。” “还有，什么使节团？不是要往军事方向走才对吗？” “你是说像亨德列克一样吗？你是问为何不是担任参谋之类的职位？” "yes." 卡尔咧嘴一笑，他用看着一副还未受到老师教化薰陶的弟子的眼神，看着我说：“原来你也希望我成为像亨德列克一样的人物。” “我是那样想过。” “路坦尼欧大王和亨德列克是乱世英雄啊。但是现在的拜索斯王国在体制完备的社会下，无法随意任命我重要的军事职位。军人也会有强烈反弹，还有贵族院也一定不会轻易通过。话说回来，如果是使节团的使节，国王可以任命我，而内部不会有太多的反对声浪。而且可以让我在政治圈立足，巩固地位，再渐渐把我提升到军事阶层，国王是这样计划的吧。” “咻。你已经洞察一切了嘛。那你为什么拒绝？” “我们还有事情要办，不是吗？” 我开心地笑了，看着卡尔。卡尔拿到会议室来的酒杯里的酒，已经渐渐空了。反正手里拿着一杯酒，就可谈天谈到天亮的。 要做外交官。嗯，卡尔？ 卡尔说他要稍做休息，所以我只好离开会议室。真是个令人精神恍惚的夜晚。我也不想再回到舞会的现场，嗯。那到庭园去看看好了。一面努力地回想，一面找到了往庭园的道路。皇宫内的宫中仆人们全都集合在舞会会场附近，所以我没有看到半个宫中仆人，走到了庭园来。 夜晚的风，好凉爽啊。 在这个季节里，可以闻到草地的气息是很棒的。国王陛下想错了。虽然有一点凉意，应该在花园里开舞会才对。这种香气多美好啊。我深吸一口气把草香味全吸到身体里。哇呼。整个心胸都敞开来了。 我在一个人影也没有的庭园里晃来晃去。想找个安静的地方坐下来，好好观赏星空一番。可是就在我走过去的时候。前面的树木旁传来悉悉索索的谈话声。 “亚夫奈德？” Ok?How is this going?我小心翼翼地，不出声地，走到树木附近。 晚上很黑，树木又挡着，看不太清楚。可是接下来另一个人说的话，那声音是我熟悉的声音。 “对不起。老师。” 这不是亚夫奈德的声音吗？那老师是？ “你既然回来了，怎么没有来找我？” 等一下，这声音是谁？唉，唉……啊！皇宫守备队长乔那丹·亚夫奈德？亚夫奈德又接着说话：“我有想过要回去见您……只是还没有下定决心。” “你这没用的家伙。” "Sorry." “那你为什么回来？” “我……我是个巫师。” “你是说你想再接触玛那？” “是的。老师。请您原谅我。” Wait a moment.这样一来，亚夫奈德说的那位老师就是皇宫守备队长乔那丹·亚夫奈德？我屏息听着两人的对话。乔那丹慢慢地说了：“你回来就好了。” "teacher!" 乔那丹的声音有些哽咽。 “你这小子。你难道不知道天下父母心，天底下的老师皆疼爱学生的吗？你回来了就好了。我不再追究了。” "teacher……" “好了，你的房间还空在那里。你什么时候搬回来吧。” 对话停顿了一会儿。亚夫奈德接口说了：“老师。很对不起您，但是要我马上……” 乔那丹咆哮了起来。 “什么？你还对过去的生活有所留恋吗？你是不是还没准备好的意思？” “那个，那个，不是那样的。我现在有在一起的同伴的缘故。” 乔那丹语气缓和了下来。 “是吗。原来你是和那群厉害的冒险家在一起啊。” “是的。我现在有很重要的事情必需和他们同行。” “这样吗？是什么事？” “那个，如果没有询问过他们的意思，我无法禀报老师。” “这样吗。我知道了。和他们一起同行对你有什么好处吗？” “是我对他们有帮助。” "……What did you say?" “我们一行人中有一位少年。” “我知道。那个叫修奇的小鬼头。” “是的。您知道那个小鬼给我取了什么外号吗？是顶尖魔法师。” 乔那丹轻轻地笑了出来。我的天啊，我的脸怎么这么烫？亚夫奈德又说了：“如老师您所知，我的天份不高，可是他们给了我让我不高的天份可以发挥到极致的机会。还有那位少年也说过，不论是高阶魔法还是初级魔法，只要有帮助的魔法都是最有用的魔法。我……这是我有生以来第一次，第一次感觉到有人需要我的帮助，我不要求回报，只求在纯正的善意下，可以使用我的魔法……” 亚夫奈德的声音渐渐地变小声了。然后两人有一段时间没有说话。这时候，乔那丹说话了。 “你的房间会空着，随时搬回来吧。” "teacher!" “完成魔法是一项技术。但是巫师必需超越技术者的层次。你虽然一直未能领会我时常叮咛你的事，不过你离开我遇到他们之后，已经完全领悟了。那些人现在才是你的老师。你要全力协助他们。” “我知道了，老师。”
The next morning, I experienced another truly moving experience. "Shansen...do you believe it?" "Believe in what?" "I washed my face with hot water for the first time!" "Actually, it's my first time too. It scared me..." This experience will be a pleasant memory in my life.But the breakfast in the palace was another matter, as painful as before.Why are the dishes for dinner and breakfast in the palace completely different?I had no choice but to leave another pile of annoying dishes on the dining table, my legs were weak and trembling with fright, and I ran back to the room to rest.Not long after, Riffy Twarison, the Minister of the Interior of the Palace, brought five palace servants and came to us with each of our dresses. Karl looked at Riffy Twarison and the five official servants with an unhappy expression.Gissien sighed.Seeing our unwelcome expressions, Riffy Twarison was a little at a loss.Riffy Twarison cleared his throat: "This is a dress given by His Majesty the King." Although Karl looked doubtful whether we should go out in this kind of clothes, he still replied calmly. "thank you." "Then, Miss Nelia, please come with me." "Me? Why?" "That...His Highness Demi Reynolds will explain it to you. Princess Demi and the maids will help prepare Miss Nelia's dress." "Really? Hmm." Nelia followed Riffy Twarison out of the conference room.After Riffy Twarison and the servants and Nelia went out, we looked at the clothes we each got. Shan Sen opened his mouth wide.Not knowing how to match the clothes, they gave Shan Sen an oversized dress, and Shan Sen smiled slightly.Esaihand was also taken aback.They were given clothes suitable for a dwarf's frame. "Oh, it's amazing." As soon as Esaihand finished speaking, he immediately threw his clothes away.Ghisien said in surprise, "Don't you wear it?" "Why should I wear it? I am the beater of the dwarves. Please don't interfere with what the independent dwarves do." Hearing that, Alvnaid laughed.The robes they gave to Avnaid were snow white, very tasteful clothes.Alvned said with a look of embarrassment: "This dress is too gorgeous." "It's a dress, it doesn't matter. You don't want to wear it to walk on the main road, do you? And you must look like a top magician in this dress." Alvnaid smiled humbly.That's right, you must look like a sage in that dress. Then I looked at the clothes they gave me, and hey, sighed.There is fluff on the shoulders, white lace that is sure to appear on the pink blouse.My God, I'm going crazy! You see, even the cuffs are embroidered! "It's what children wear." Gissien smiled. "Then you are an old man?" Hearing what he said, I wish I was an old man.Carl sighed when he saw his blue dress, as did I, so I looked at mine and smiled.I threw the dress away and declared, "No way! I'm never going out in this dress." "Are you going to do it? Then I will too." Ghisien looked at the clothes he had given himself, worried for a while, and finally threw it away. "I'll be your companion, Xiu Qi. There's no need for me to promise my sister to abide by etiquette." Not long after, Riffy Twarison returned after taking Nelia to the princess.He was very surprised to see us.Shan Sen, Avned and Karl all put on new clothes and waited politely, while I, Ghisien and Isaihand were still wearing the original clothes.Riffy Twarison asked us in great trepidation: "What about three, three?" Isaihande said seriously: "The clothes I'm wearing now are the best clothes among the dwarves. Even the clothes that your human king bestows are not as tasteful and polite as my clothes. of." After listening to the words of the dwarf beater, Riffy Twarison was in a daze, unable to reply, and then looked at Ghisien. "Then, Your Highness, you...?" "Don't you remember how I dressed when I was in the palace?" Riffy Twarison looked at me almost in tears.I said without waiting for him to ask: "Because I know His Majesty the King is a person who doesn't like hypocrisy, so I decided to wear ordinary clothes to meet His Majesty the King. I met him like this in the study last time. " Riffy Twarison's expression that was about to cry changed immediately.He looked at me for a long time, and said in another tone: "Although His Majesty's grace comes from all directions like water, the water can flow without leaving a trace." What words?Ah, this sentence. 'No matter how much merit you have done, once you act rashly, you will be nothing. 'Is that what you mean?snort!Say what you want.Even if you say that, you can't make me wear that childish dress.I didn't answer him, I straightened my shoulders, and Riffy Twarison turned around to lead us without saying a word. We left the conference room and walked down the corridor leading to the lobby.It was a long and gorgeous corridor, in other words, a corridor that was very inconvenient to walk.I was walking helplessly, when Shansen suddenly asked me: "Hey, Xiu Qi. Please confirm for me." "What do you want to confirm?" "Is that person over there Nelia?" On the other side of the path we walked, there was a girl walking with the maids. You said that person is Nelia?Hey, Shan Sen is also true.Nonsense eight, eight, eight, Tao... oh my god. "I may not be qualified to do confirmation." Ouch hey my gosh.Now is the person who is walking gently on the floor dragging the hem of the dress skirt? Nelia?Nelia smiled shyly. The dress with exposed shoulders brought out Nelia's skin texture.A healthy, slightly tanned complexion went well with the red dress, which also matched Nelia's red hair.Although I knew that Nelia was very thin, but wearing that dress and walking on the trail, Nelia's slender waist is more obvious, and she can almost feel the rhythm of her waist breathing, which is really amazing.There are decorative lines on the skirt, and what is also very special is that the line pattern is used to create a black gradient effect on the bottom of the skirt, and the color becomes darker the lower the skirt.So Nelia's overall appearance looks like this: the lower part is black, the waist is thin and bright red, the shoulders and face are white because of the color of the dress, and the upper part of the hair is red again.So it was like the rising sun above the black mountains, making people have to focus their attention on her.What a rare brilliant color matching technique. "Well, Miss Nelia? She's so beautiful." Hearing Carl's praise, Nelia pursed her lips and smiled.Seeing me, Nelia showed a surprised expression. "Xiu Qi, you?" "Yeah. If I had known earlier, I would also go to see Princess Daimei. If it was Princess Daimei, she would definitely make better clothes for me." "You don't like your clothes?" "Yeah, it's okay. Nelia, you're really pretty." "Hey hey hey. The whole face was covered with thick foundation. The sneezing and sneezing almost killed me." Shan Sen made a serious assessment. "Now you can be arrested on the charge of being too beautiful." "What? Oh my God! Even Shan Sen made such a joke? Hehehe." After reuniting with Nelia, we started walking again. Walking along the gorgeous corridors in the palace, our group became less and less confident as we walked.There were only two exceptions, Gishien and Ethhand who regarded the palace as their home. Why?Just think about it. On the way we walked, the people in the palace lined up beside us, bowed nearly 180 degrees to us, and finally walked to the solemn hall.As soon as we walked in, the entire line of soldiers on both sides said "Tuck!" in unison and raised their heels to greet us.The sound was very loud, the door was opened to the left and right, and in an instant, flowers were scattered in the center. We stepped out very scared and walked inside, and the horn sounded immediately!Loud and piercing voices filled my ears, and what stood in front of me was the solemn hall.Ugh!Can't!No one said it was like this!I really want to run back now and change my clothes again! This is really not a joke... I don't know who the designer of the solemn hall is, and the design has a bit of evil.The aisle in Nuoda in the middle is higher than the floor of the hall, protruding about one cubit, so the civil and military officials lined up on the left and right can naturally look up and see the people walking on the aisle.Although I don't know which side is a civil servant and which side is a military officer, I only saw a whole row of men wearing blue dresses, and a row of men opposite them wearing yellow dresses. Probably because he was meeting with His Majesty the King, he couldn't carry his sword with him, so he couldn't tell the difference between civil servants and military officials. The design above the hall is even more impressive.The four corners of the walls on the left and right sides are decorated with portraits of women who look like noble ladies, and some are portraits of men in different dresses, who seem to be standing in the corner and looking down at us.It has reached the point where people's eyes neither dare to look down nor look up.You can only look at the back of the head of the person in front of you and move forward.How do you say it is the person in the front and the front?Because the person walking in front of me is none other than Ai Saihande.I don't know where Gishien and Karl who are walking in the front are looking? At the front of the trail we walked on, there was a row of high-rise stairs, on which a chair that looked like a throne was placed.His Majesty King Nissien sat upright on the throne.Because there are majestic officials standing on the left and right sides, and I am standing in the middle, wearing clothes mixed with dust and sweat, which looks like a rag.When the well-dressed civil and military officials on the left and right saw my attire, they couldn't help discussing in a low voice, looking a little embarrassed.Even breathing quickened.Damn, what are they doing?We managed to catch the spies (and important documents of course) and they dared to point fingers at us.We were listless and filed forward.Because if you don't walk, you may fall down. When we were halfway to the center, the trumpets started to play again.blah blah blah blah.I don't know what the special meaning is, and we stopped for a moment while walking.When the civil and military officials next to them heard the sound of the horn, they faced forward and knelt down.Ah, it turned out to be this.We all quickly knelt down.Oh!my knees!Only Esaihand didn't kneel down, and even if he didn't kneel down, he probably only reached the height of my eyes.I peeked aside.Nelia seemed to be struggling, and knelt on the ground with a blushing face.It seems that she wants to spread the skirt to the side and get into a kneeling posture, so she looks powerless. "Please calm down." Sitting in the quiet and solemn hall, His Majesty King Nissien's voice could be heard very clearly. The deep voice came unexpectedly loudly.Maybe it's a good design?We stood up after a while, and the surrounding officials also stood up.After a burst of uproar, it immediately returned to the previous silence. "King Byzos, knight among knights, I, Nixien Byzos, welcome you all." How are we going to return the gift?Everyone panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do. Standing in front of the king, the gorgeously dressed man picked up the document with very elegant movements and began to read it aloud. "The extremely evil, treacherous, tyrannical, cruel, and senseless Jeppen evil people, with the evil hand of the wrath of heaven and man, in our most, supreme, supreme, most benevolent, most beloved King Nixien, with the infinite holy Chong Longen came to rule the land of Byzos, which is full of blessings, and launched a senseless war of harm. To this day, the poor people are afraid and anxious, and the people's anxiety is increasing day by day. Endless violence and disloyalty It is a given that insurrections are rampant everywhere. Look at Nex Thuriz. In this reality, the temptation to evil deeds, no matter the status, even the voices of the famous families of the past generations, the children and grandchildren Under the favor of His Majesty the King, Sun Biyin, a descendant of a peerless family, ignored the grace of grace, and colluded with the extremely evil, treacherous, tyrannical, cruel, and immoral Jeppen evil people, resulting in tragic events. But only justice Gentlemen can regurgitate the infinite light of grace, use invisible power to fight against the famous families of all ages, and even the hand of His Majesty, the supreme, the supreme, the most benevolent, the most beloved King Nixien, jointly opened such amazing, righteous, glorious of……" No, not now!Do not doze off now!But now I feel like I'm asleep.Although I was very nervous and listened carefully to the recitation, I couldn't understand a word.The words he said were just noises to me.Ah ah ah. I can't take it anymore! "...because...therefore...therefore...or...but...because of this, the above facts are quite clear." I don't know exactly what it is.After saying those stinky and long words, even the clear things will be confused by him, and it is not clear at all. "...Because it is... Therefore it is... Although it is... Or... Because of this, it is even more surprising." Yes, yes, it is truly amazing and irreplaceable to be able to say that long list of words. Although the soles of my feet were itchy and crazy, the only thing I could do was roll my eyes desperately under the watchful eyes of everyone.Just when I was thinking that this torment might last forever: "Praise these brave people!" Bong Reader, who was reading aloud from a document in his hand, suddenly burst out this sentence, which really made me angry. Want everyone to praise?understood.Who are those valiant people?Oh wow, damn it!If I knew it earlier, I would raise my hand enthusiastically.Heck, it doesn't matter what it is, just praise it.When I raised my hand halfway. "Praise them!" There were warm applause and shouts from left and right.It turned out to be us!I raised my hand halfway, but I was embarrassed to put it down and moved it to the back of my head, as if I was holding the back of my head in embarrassment. At this time, even His Majesty King Nissien stood up and applauded for us.His Majesty Nicien walked towards us slowly.The applause around us became more and more enthusiastic. His Majesty Nissien walked up to us and shook hands with us one by one. "Karl Hutant. It's like he came to Byzos Imperial City just to surprise me." Karl did not specifically respond to the king's words for this reason.He just nodded in return.But His Majesty Nissien tightly clenched his hand, and then simply hugged him.Karl had a flattered look on his face. His Majesty Nissien then held Giseon's hand tightly. "Brother. Even though you are a commoner, you have really benefited me a lot from my insignificant brother." Ghisien grinned and replied simply: "Your Highness, your words are an honor that I am ashamed of." His Majesty Nissien moved his body and grabbed Esaihand's hand, "The great dwarf beater, Isaihand Eindev. You have shown infinite great friendship to human beings, and you will help me with all your strength. Nixien will never forget." "You are welcome. King Byzos." Isaihande gave such a short answer.His Majesty Nicien then greeted Avnaid, who was too nervous and his legs were shaking all the time, and he also stuttered when answering. Then His Majesty Nissien walked towards Nelia, bent his knees slightly, and gently kissed the back of Nelia's hand. Nelia blushed for a moment, and from her mouth that didn't know what to say, she muttered casually. what.Finally His Majesty Nissien shook my hand. "The Candlemaker Candidate in the Hetant Territory, Xiuqi Niedfa. Although he is young, he knows how to serve the king, my beloved and dear people." you love Me?Oh, I'm so sorry.I don't love you.I don't like boys.Also, don't take what we do lightly as loyalty to you.We're only doing it for our Nelia.I said, "It's really my honor, Your Highness." Went to his! We all got what seemed like a thing, medals and decorations from the king.Ouch, my headache is killing me.How these ceremonies went on, I have no recollection at all.The only thing I remember is the huge crowd, and the clapping from the crowd. After finally finishing the complicated ceremony, we escaped from the ceremony field where we received the ceremony.Regardless of his solemn hall or something, I just feel like my head is about to explode.Nelia ran to find Princess Demi, and the rest of us gathered in the conference room on the third floor.We hadn't been sitting for long when we heard terrible news from Riffy Twarison who came running. "prom?" Riffy Twarison said it was to celebrate our achievements, and came here to convey the fact that there will be a dance after the dinner.Stop kidding, how is it possible.I want to leave immediately.At this time, Karl had a completely resigned expression. "At the dinner party?" "Yes, after the dinner." "Do you have to participate? We have all attended the medal presentation ceremony..." "So now I want to introduce you to my courtiers on a relaxed occasion." Carl looked like he was about to fall asleep. "Got it. When will it start?"
When it was dinner time, Riffy Twarison took us away again.I was in a state of distress.Could it be that this time I really have to close my eyes and put on that childish dress? I made a decision.never! "Want to wear that to the ball?" "I can't dance anyway. I'll stand in the corner and be right back." Carl nodded. "Actually... I think so too." We talked and walked down. Here comes the lobby.Ornate ornaments adorn the freshly painted white walls, and a group of well-dressed people fills the lobby.There are plenty of food stacked on the tables in the four sides, a spacious dance floor in the center, chairs are placed along the walls, and the musicians responsible for the accompaniment are gathered on the other side.What a luxury.I opened my mouth wide, but tried hard not to let the saliva flow down. Greetings, self-introduction, greetings, my god, I'm going crazy.I have to greet a bunch of people, from the south of the hall to the north of the hall, from the east of the hall to the west of the hall. After I greet everyone, I can no longer tell the difference between east, west and south.Although I don't remember any of the people who introduced themselves to us, Carl still smiled politely all the way, so I tried to maintain the same demeanor as Carl.Shan Sen and Ai Saihande did not pay special tribute to others. After finally ending this stormy salute, I was very careful not to attract attention.Only then did I stand against the wall as if I had lost my soul.Shansen and Esaihand, who had similar smells, walked towards the dining table full of food, and Avnaid was taken to the corner of the daughters of the princes and nobles for some reason.With a desperate expression on his face, Alvnaid explained to the children of princes and nobles how he was not good at dancing, but his words were ignored.Ghisien and Karl drank with wine glasses in their hands quite tastefully, looking at Alvned's helpless appearance. "Isn't his face very pretty?" A familiar voice came from my ear.I turned my head and saw that Nelia whistled again, and then sighed in a low tone that didn't suit her. "Nelia, you are so beautiful." Nelia changed into a dark black dress this time.The pattern delicately embroidered with gold thread bloomed beautifully like a flower on the black dress.Nelia didn't know why, half of her cheeks turned red.She said, "Hey hey hey. This is Princess Demi's dress. Those maids have worked so hard to get me to wear it." "Because Princess Daimei is very tall...but she modified it to fit quite well, and it looks good in it." "Really? Thanks." Then, when a palace servant carrying a silver plate passed by, Nelia picked up a glass of wine.Nelia leaned against me, watching the dancing crowd.She drank the wine in one gulp and said, "Ah... my hands are so itchy." "Please, please!" "No. I can't bear it any longer. Now, let's go!" After speaking, Nelia quickly put the wine glass back and grabbed Carl's hand.Carl, who was suddenly attacked, was completely confused about the situation and was pulled out.Not long after, Gissy and I saw Nelia and Carl dancing.It turned out to be the case, I let go of my heart, and Ghisien smiled and judged the dancing skills of the two. "Very nice. Carl's dance moves are amazing." While I was laughing, Nelia caught the wine glass I passed.After a while, the music stopped, and the chief attendant announced with a loud voice that the king was coming. I bent down hastily and almost knocked over the wine.call out.fine.The wine glass is empty. Then I looked up.Ah, haven't you arrived yet?Seeing that the people next to me hadn't straightened up yet, I quickly bent down again.But suddenly someone secretly patted me on the back. "Shuki? It's time to get up." It was Ghisien.Ok.Can you stand up now?I looked up and saw His Majesty the King and Princess Daimei were walking into the hall.His Majesty the King took Princess Demi's hand noblely and walked to the center of the hall, and then the music started again immediately, and the two began to dance. "Did His Majesty the King dance with the Princess because Her Royal Highness has not yet entered the palace?" "Well. Yes. Why doesn't that kid marry a wife?" Githion answered briefly.I watched His Majesty the King and Princess Daimei dance, and suddenly laughed.hehe.Really.Princess Daimei is taller than His Majesty Nixien! 然后在距离国王和公主跳舞的不远处，亚夫奈德依旧一副对人世已绝望的表情，被王公贵族的女儿们拉着到处跑。我看来看去只有妮莉亚和卡尔这一对跳得最好的样子。不论身高，体型，两个人的样子非常速配，卡尔高雅的舞步，妮莉亚有模有样的舞姿，相当令人称羡的一对。虽然看起来像一对父女，不过并不会影响到他们速配的感觉。我询问吉西恩，他也认同我的看法。 不久后，音乐结束了，卡尔和妮莉亚又走了回来。 “呜哇！卡尔叔叔的舞技，实在高人一等呢。” “那里，我还比不上妮莉亚小姐，让你辛苦了。” 卡尔温柔地回答。过了不久，亚夫奈德一副好像死过一次的表情走了过来。亚夫奈德头也不回地问我：“修，修奇。那个女孩子还在看我吗？” 我看了看亚夫奈德肩膀后方，在另一边的女孩子。我告诉他那位王公贵族的女儿正用一脸惋惜的表情看着他。然后亚夫奈德一副下定决心要在下一首曲子开始演奏前消失不见的模样，他瞧了瞧四周。可惜这里没有可以逃跑出去的地方。我献上了一些鬼主意，譬如说：要不要躲在桌子底下之类的，亚夫奈德正有这种冲动的时候，妮莉亚过来救了他。 妮莉亚的手往下一摆，弯着腰，说：“我可以请你跳一支舞吗，顶尖魔法师？” 男女角色一下子调换过来，亚夫奈德有些惊慌的表情。可是他回头看了一下那位王公贵族的女儿，马上就下定了决心。 “我很乐意，妮莉亚。” 然后两人就一起走掉了。snort! 我环视了一下，有两个依然故我的贪吃鬼，流连在餐桌前。好强啊……宫中仆人们哭丧着脸，正在尽全力补充餐桌上的食物，希望维持不致被扫光。我再转向另一边。正好看到黛美公主向我们这里走来。黛美公主仔细地瞧着吉西恩，然后吉西恩嘻嘻笑了起来。 “我可以请你跳一支舞吗？” 黛美公主轻轻地拉起裙摆的一角，说：“这是我的荣幸。” “你现在还是会踩到对方的脚吗？” “你试试看吧。” 我笑笑地观看这一幕。哪有踩到对方的脚这回事，两个人很有默契地跳着相当好看的舞呢。这就是舞技高超吗？我也想给卡尔这样的评价，回头望了望他。可是卡尔和我有些距离，正和尼西恩陛下站在一起。 两个人不知在小声地谈论着什么。会是在谈什么呢？我本来想偷偷地走过去看，不让他人注意到我。不过后来还是放弃了这个想法。偷听了又能怎样呢？以后再去问卡尔好了。 我再次靠着墙壁，环视着四周装饰富丽堂皇的景观，把手里空了的酒杯还给宫中仆人，拿了一个新倒好的酒杯。 我的心思突然又飞出了窗外，胡思乱想起来。如果把阿姆塔特带到这里来，会怎么样呢？ 哎呀，这是什么邪恶的念头。现在一片和乐融融的样子。 Ah ah ah.杰米妮。如果你在这里的话。现在那里优雅地跳着舞的吉西恩和黛美公主，还有轻快地跳着舞的妮莉亚和亚夫奈德，我都可以把他们通通抛到一边，和你跳着最迷人的舞了。
“你跟他谈了什么？” 之后离开大厅到会议室时，我问了卡尔。卡尔很绅士地看了我。 “和尼西恩陛下的谈话吗？” "yes." “啊，不是什么大事。” “我就是喜欢听小事嘛。打击比较小。” 卡尔开心一笑。 “殿下要求我担任伊斯公国使节。” 我怀疑是不是听错了。What?使节，什么使节？卡尔表情相当平淡，我想确认一下是不是听错了。 “你可以再说一次吗？” “国王陛下是说伊斯公国的使节。他要我担任这个职位。” 我绝对没有听错。我一脸迷惘地看着卡尔。 “所以你怎么回答？” “我跟他说我不擅长外交。” “等一下。我不懂。” “那里不懂？” “为什么他要你做外交官？国王陛下这样不就是要把你当做宣传用的吗？把你塑造为一个战时英雄，将你纳入旗下，同时也可提高国王的威望。” “虽然你说的是皇宫里的人不喜欢听的话，可是你说得没错。” “还有，什么使节团？不是要往军事方向走才对吗？” “你是说像亨德列克一样吗？你是问为何不是担任参谋之类的职位？” "yes." 卡尔咧嘴一笑，他用看着一副还未受到老师教化薰陶的弟子的眼神，看着我说：“原来你也希望我成为像亨德列克一样的人物。” “我是那样想过。” “路坦尼欧大王和亨德列克是乱世英雄啊。但是现在的拜索斯王国在体制完备的社会下，无法随意任命我重要的军事职位。军人也会有强烈反弹，还有贵族院也一定不会轻易通过。话说回来，如果是使节团的使节，国王可以任命我，而内部不会有太多的反对声浪。而且可以让我在政治圈立足，巩固地位，再渐渐把我提升到军事阶层，国王是这样计划的吧。” “咻。你已经洞察一切了嘛。那你为什么拒绝？” “我们还有事情要办，不是吗？” 我开心地笑了，看着卡尔。卡尔拿到会议室来的酒杯里的酒，已经渐渐空了。反正手里拿着一杯酒，就可谈天谈到天亮的。 要做外交官。嗯，卡尔？ 卡尔说他要稍做休息，所以我只好离开会议室。真是个令人精神恍惚的夜晚。我也不想再回到舞会的现场，嗯。那到庭园去看看好了。一面努力地回想，一面找到了往庭园的道路。皇宫内的宫中仆人们全都集合在舞会会场附近，所以我没有看到半个宫中仆人，走到了庭园来。 夜晚的风，好凉爽啊。 在这个季节里，可以闻到草地的气息是很棒的。国王陛下想错了。虽然有一点凉意，应该在花园里开舞会才对。这种香气多美好啊。我深吸一口气把草香味全吸到身体里。哇呼。整个心胸都敞开来了。 我在一个人影也没有的庭园里晃来晃去。想找个安静的地方坐下来，好好观赏星空一番。可是就在我走过去的时候。前面的树木旁传来悉悉索索的谈话声。 “亚夫奈德？” Ok?How is this going?我小心翼翼地，不出声地，走到树木附近。 晚上很黑，树木又挡着，看不太清楚。可是接下来另一个人说的话，那声音是我熟悉的声音。 “对不起。老师。” 这不是亚夫奈德的声音吗？那老师是？ “你既然回来了，怎么没有来找我？” 等一下，这声音是谁？唉，唉……啊！皇宫守备队长乔那丹·亚夫奈德？亚夫奈德又接着说话：“我有想过要回去见您……只是还没有下定决心。” “你这没用的家伙。” "Sorry." “那你为什么回来？” “我……我是个巫师。” “你是说你想再接触玛那？” “是的。老师。请您原谅我。” Wait a moment.这样一来，亚夫奈德说的那位老师就是皇宫守备队长乔那丹·亚夫奈德？我屏息听着两人的对话。乔那丹慢慢地说了：“你回来就好了。” "teacher!" 乔那丹的声音有些哽咽。 “你这小子。你难道不知道天下父母心，天底下的老师皆疼爱学生的吗？你回来了就好了。我不再追究了。” "teacher……" “好了，你的房间还空在那里。你什么时候搬回来吧。” 对话停顿了一会儿。亚夫奈德接口说了：“老师。很对不起您，但是要我马上……” 乔那丹咆哮了起来。 “什么？你还对过去的生活有所留恋吗？你是不是还没准备好的意思？” “那个，那个，不是那样的。我现在有在一起的同伴的缘故。” 乔那丹语气缓和了下来。 “是吗。原来你是和那群厉害的冒险家在一起啊。” “是的。我现在有很重要的事情必需和他们同行。” “这样吗？是什么事？” “那个，如果没有询问过他们的意思，我无法禀报老师。” “这样吗。我知道了。和他们一起同行对你有什么好处吗？” “是我对他们有帮助。” "……What did you say?" “我们一行人中有一位少年。” “我知道。那个叫修奇的小鬼头。” “是的。您知道那个小鬼给我取了什么外号吗？是顶尖魔法师。” 乔那丹轻轻地笑了出来。我的天啊，我的脸怎么这么烫？亚夫奈德又说了：“如老师您所知，我的天份不高，可是他们给了我让我不高的天份可以发挥到极致的机会。还有那位少年也说过，不论是高阶魔法还是初级魔法，只要有帮助的魔法都是最有用的魔法。我……这是我有生以来第一次，第一次感觉到有人需要我的帮助，我不要求回报，只求在纯正的善意下，可以使用我的魔法……” 亚夫奈德的声音渐渐地变小声了。然后两人有一段时间没有说话。这时候，乔那丹说话了。 “你的房间会空着，随时搬回来吧。” "teacher!" “完成魔法是一项技术。但是巫师必需超越技术者的层次。你虽然一直未能领会我时常叮咛你的事，不过你离开我遇到他们之后，已经完全领悟了。那些人现在才是你的老师。你要全力协助他们。” “我知道了，老师。”
