"I promise it's true, father, she's whiter than white jade and ivory, her lips are roses, her eyes are blue gems, her hair is gold, brighter than honey, brighter than sunlight, brighter than pale gold It's even more distracting. The nectar of Dionysus, alas, compared to her eyes, is simply a clear stream, without any intoxicating meaning." Ludovina assured the king firmly, and vividly described what she had seen The beauty of the elf: "What's more—not to mention that although she looks cold and unreasonable, she is actually gentle and lovely, and she even gave me a magic wand made of a sacred tree. That person must be afraid that he will be deceived, so she called me She hides her shy and beautiful nature with sarcastic remarks."

The king's nose fluttered, and he concealed his greed and excitement with a loving smile, "Is that so, my dear daughter? This is the whole story of the mysterious elf who is now traveling around and you?"

Aging cannot be hidden.The king's eyelids sagged, his hair turned gray, and layers of fat wrapped him in a dismal middle-aged life, turning his former flair into nausea.Although he carefully dressed himself, he couldn't hide the ugliness of his current appearance.He hated all ugliness, and now he hated himself even more.He can't see a mirror, he just wants to see more and more beauty to nourish his eyes and ears, so as to immerse himself in perfect days.

Ludovina's mother was cursed and forced by him. He was familiar with the beauty and weaknesses of elves. Everyone claimed that they were strong and beautiful, but he didn't know that elves could also be poisoned and cursed.Ludovina grew up, this clear, spirited, tender, tight little girl was about to use her body to fulfill the beauty in his mind, but she ran away!The king was so angry that he had prepared an army of ten thousand people to attack the jungle, but he didn't expect that she would come back a few years later!

The half-elf girl like a flower was very sad: "I fell in love with the wizard's student Geralt, but he already had his own heart. Alas, how could I accuse that elf girl against my will? She is the noble Vatican. , and unbelievably beautiful, and kind-hearted—but her name, Elrod, is the elf loved by the stars. They will bring him nothing but sorrow—”

She half-truthfully described Elrod's story and was on the point of weeping.

The king smiled lovingly and gently.

"Don't be sad, my girl. You shall have a gallant knight, and I will meet the elf."

He is not a slave to sexual desire, but a believer in the god of beauty.

What can kill elves?The flames of the dragon, the curse of the gods, the extreme sorrow?

An elf dying of sorrow must be very beautiful.

Although due to some considerations, Chu Songluo had to use a "travel" to delay time and distance himself from Geralt.But after all, he was worried that someone would jump out and take away the love line, so he wrote a letter to the wizard apprentice who regularly studied in the tower——

[Dear Geralt:

Seeing letters is like meeting.

Our dryad friend is still healthy, and I visited him recently when I was passing through Brokilon Forest and gave him a goblin.However, by the time I said goodbye, they were still not getting along very well.Maybe over time they will become friends?

Also, I got an invitation letter from the king.He is going to give a ball to thank me for my help to the princess, and to open the palace library to me.

I decided to temporarily change my plans and go to see Ludovina.

Elrod]

The Pandora's Box buried in Ludovina's place was opened, and the king really sent an invitation to meet the beautiful Elrod of the Vanya clan.Of course he knew what the king was planning, and he didn't intend to bypass his plan.

While thinking about how the various forces will operate next, they rushed to the capital.The sky is about to brighten, and the shadow of the capital emerges from the dark night.The flags were fluttering in the night sky, Chu Songluo thought about what an elf should look like after traveling and seeing all kinds of coldness in the world.

——Worried about the fate that will come at an unknown time, his eyes should always be hazy with a layer of melancholy.He is kind by nature, but he has seen the evil of human nature. He should feel lonely and try to distance himself from joys and sorrows.He became strong enough, and this strength also supported his innocence.

He stood quietly at the gate of the palace and waited for the dawn to break.

The first ray of dawn broke through the darkness, and the tall figure of the fair-haired elf appeared in the world.

The guard yawned, only to realize that someone was standing here, his eyes were like polished gems, but Zhuo Zhuo Yeye was covered with a layer of gentle melancholy.

"Please help me inform His Majesty the King. My name is Elrod Ambatu. Kui Ye came to see Princess Ludovina and will leave soon."

After a while, the king hurriedly put on his best clothes, and ran out of the palace with bare feet to meet the elf.The dazzling morning light made him squint at Elrod for a long time before he laughed and said, "Why be so anxious! Come in, let me show my friendship as the king of mankind!"

The elf avoided his hand, but still couldn't escape his kind invitation, and stepped up the steps of the palace——

He also didn't escape the formation of cursing elves carefully prepared by the king's sorcerer.

Chu Songluo shook his figure cooperatively and fell into a faint.

***

Xin, is it coming soon?

Like a high school boy's romance, Geralt waited for the regular letters, although they often ended in a few words, they were especially precious.Although Elrod is always wandering around, and his reply letter will never reach "her", he has written a long two or three page reply letter to each letter seriously, and prepares to send all his confessions to her in the future. to the goddess.

Geralt also tried to learn many lines of confession from the bard at one point—

"I would like to sing for you with the most beautiful voice—"

Ah...but I'm tone deaf! (But yes, thinking of Elrod, he does always want to sing.)

"The night will hinder our connection, but in the morning I will reach you—"

The stars are "her" name! ——even though sunlight also reminded him of many associations.

Everything in the world is related to "her"!It was as if his soul had taken root and secretly touched her soul in the soil.That's why people in love can't help but wander off and smile silly.

"The rose is blabla the rose is blabla the moonlight is blabla—"

Geralt angrily dropped the notebook he used to record.

Bards are all trash, how can such a clichéd metaphor appear to be forceful?

He has a lot to say, and he records what he has experienced all day long; but in fact, he only wants to say a sentence, scribbles and changes, and finally turns it into an actual practice scene.All the characters on stage were rehearsed by himself. Geralt sat in front of the window and raised his left hand and right hand. With a movement of his left hand, he cleared his throat and voiced in a deep voice, "Elrod! Actually, I don't want to be your best friend!" With a movement, Geralt adjusted several tones but couldn't imitate Elrod's voice. He gave up on himself and said in a rough voice, "What's wrong with you, Geralt?" Kneeling in the air with his left hand empty, Geralt imitated Expression—eyes wide open, eyelashes fluttering, eight-teeth smile—"I... I! I!"

... "I" can't come up with anything during the rehearsal!

What's more, he was not sure how Elrod would respond and what attitude he would have——

Ah, the Wind Spirit has come with a letter!

——This time Elrod finally remembered to tell the wind to remember to avoid the rain clouds, so as not to send a wet ball of pulp.The letter flew to the high tower, Geralt opened the window, and was about to take the letter, but the wind suddenly lost its strength.The fluttering envelope fell down.

Geralt suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.He saw that there was no one under the tower, so he jumped off the tower directly - stepping on a big hole.

He didn't care to cover up his traces, opened the envelope, and browsed through the ten lines to the end.

"King? Ludovina?"

It took him a while to remember the so-called "people implicated by fate" that he had completely ignored during the rehearsal, and his face turned livid.

An earth goblin got its head out of the deep hole he had just stepped out of, crawled out with great difficulty, bent down and patted the dirt on its body, and showed Geralt the badge with the king's name engraved on it with a majestic chest. "A messenger from the royal family! Your Excellency must be Geralt, the student of the wizard Saweiman—"

The dwarf took out a letter from his backpack and opened it to read, but Geralt snatched it away.

"...Your best friend, Elrod Ambato, is here as a guest. You must be kind-hearted and brave, and you will not bear to see any accident happen to your friend..."

asshole!

The earth elf, who was knocked aside by his force, got up from the ground, first carefully blew a breath on his gold badge, stroked it lovingly, and then angrily accused Geralt, "... You are a savage! How can you be His Majesty's guest! Look at my coat of arms—this is the country—!!!”

Geralt threw it down the passageway it had come in and quickly blocked the exit.After thinking about it, he went back to his room and prepared all the wizard's outfits - black and white formal robes with gold trim, magic scrolls, staffs, packed them into a package, and hurriedly buried them all day The wizard Savman in the pile left a note, and a group of birds flew in the forest, and a silver-white dragon flapped its translucent wings into the sky, passing the wind above the clouds.

***

The king smiled proudly and said, "Wizard Geralt, you have arrived so quickly, which is really beyond my expectation."

The well-dressed wizard oiled his frizzy white hair, and let them lie docilely on the back, revealing his forehead and resolute eyes.

"where is she?"

Geralt's angry eyes clearly pleased the king so much that he didn't even care about the wrinkles that had become apparent from his deepening smile.

"Why worry, my people. I am not a stubborn old man who is too far away from my youth, and I still have the fragrance of roses in my heart. Lovers always miss the time together, although sometimes their attachment is not. The right choice. I am touched by your thoughts, but there are still others who miss you so much that it hurts my heart—” He sighed in a fake way.

"—What's more, this stupid girl who admires you is still my daughter." The king's eyelids were loose and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but this still couldn't conceal the greed and aggression in his eyes, "young man, why don't you Let’s listen to my daughter’s heartfelt complaint first?”

His words made Geralt feel very absurd, "She - Ludovina? Like me?" He turned his head to look for Ludovina, and then fixed his eyes on a piece of violet satin skirt behind the pillar on the right.

The half-elf girl with silver-white hair lowered her head shyly from behind the pillar to show her figure, and looked up at him cautiously.The violet dress made her eyes even more beautiful, as if there were countless words in it, she exclaimed happily: "Geralt!"

Geralt glanced at the king.

The king kept a haughty smile and said softly, "Go." He said meaningfully, "Before you meet your elf friend, go."

In other words, if you want to see Elrod, you must listen to Ludovina?

Geralt gritted his back teeth and said, "Okay."

Ludovina smiled, "Father, can we talk in my room?"

The king nodded graciously, as if understanding the young man's passion.

***

"What the hell are you doing!" Geralt asked immediately after entering the room.

Ludovina immediately lost her shyness and joy, and her arrogant and cold expression was exactly the same as that of the king. "Okay, I know you want to see Elrod! I advise you not to lose your temper and listen to me seriously first."

Geralt looked gloomy, but had to lower his head, "Say it."

Ludovina pondered for a moment, "It's like this, I found that I don't know why, I am suddenly full of emotions for you-commonly known as liking emotions."

There was a clatter of ping-pong, and Geralt couldn't help but overturned the small coffee table with two cups of scented tea.The half-elf girl dexterously lifted the hem of her skirt and jumped away without getting any water.She frowned and said in disgust: "I told you not to lose your temper! How could I like a rude and impolite person like you! The person I love is Wright, the elf in the jungle, but I like your emotions It came out of nowhere—"

Hearing this, Geralt relaxed his hand on the staff, "—do you suspect that this is a curse?"

"Otherwise, what else could it be?" Ludovina rolled her eyes because she was extremely inelegant, "Besides, that old pig has mastered the magic formation that curses the elves. Trouble, I ran back to appease him not to enter the dense forest. But if things go on like this, it is definitely not an answer, and I just found out that this kind of emotion was not the old pig's idea, so I planned to ask you and Elrod to help assassinate him."

Geralt snorted coldly, "Is this your attitude of asking for help?"

Ludovina was poked by him, blushed, and walked anxiously around the room with her skirt up, "I just think that if he can't detect that I like you is a lie, he will catch you and attract the elf ——He wants the elves! When you come, I can tell my informants outside the palace to tell Elrod that there is a curse in the palace, and just kill the old pig while the May Festival parade is in progress!"

"—but didn't expect the elf he caught first?" Geralt could hardly contain his anger, "Ha, you really selflessly saved a large group of gray elves!"

Ludovina blushed and stared at him for a while, her chest heaved non-stop, but finally calmed down.She calmly said: "I've tried my best to ask him to bring you here first, but it still doesn't work. I apologize for my selfishness for involving you in this matter-but I...but I really can't think of any other way I can only gather one or two soldiers at most, and the army is still powerless to resist. There are naturally many strong people on the mainland, but I am afraid that only Elrod can forgive my presumptuousness, understand my difficulties, and extend a helping hand."

She was silent for a while, and quickly added: "If you really hate me, after the matter is over, as long as you allow me to say goodbye to Wright, you can kill me to vent your hatred."

"——If something happens to Elrod, I will definitely kill you." Geralt stared at her, "I will."

"I can speak Elvish, and I've already figured out a way to delay it." Ludovina moved her lips stiffly, and said in a low voice, "Calm up your mood, when you go out later, it's because you rejected my confession and insisted on seeing you." Elrod. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to bear most of the dangers for Elrod."

She rubbed her face, then blinked her eyes, her eyes were reddened quickly, and she shed tears, opened the door and trotted away with her skirt in hand—just like a heartbroken princess.
