Mysteries

Neia watched the king bargaining with the dwarf for herself, and was moved to tears.Sure enough, it is the family members who care about their own happiness.Even if it is just a dream at this moment, it is also a rare sweet dream these days.

As it turned out later, he was moved too early.

Neia, who was fully awake, looked at the king's twinkling eyes in disbelief: "Father, can you repeat what you just said completely and clearly?"

The king shook his beard and said to him from left to right: "Do you want to see your mother? She is recuperating in Bainiwan. You know, she has always been in poor health. I dare not let her know about your previous situation." .Now I can inform her. She always has the right to say more than me about family affairs." Seeing that Neia's face became more and more ugly, she changed the topic, and said, "Speaking of which, I don't feel very good recently. Especially After a trip to Dabei City, my back hurts, my legs and feet are not slack, um, it seems that I still have a headache." While talking, she looked at Neia's face.

Knowing that acting was more important than reality, Neia still stepped forward to give him a massage.

The king looked down at the top of his head.The small person in memory is already this big now.Before Langzan encountered a crisis, he had always been confident that his wings were enough to protect his children, but now, his youngest and most beloved child flew alone to a place he couldn't see, and suffered a lot.After finally coming back, he had to be with someone who was completely unworthy of him.

As a father, how can I bear it.

He reached out and stroked his hair.

Neia looked up.

"Don't worry." The king smiled softly, "I will not allow my child to suffer because of my mistakes."

Neia frowned: "Are you planning to go back on your word?"

The king's thumb groped for the pulp of his index finger and said after deliberation: "There is always something that makes his heart move." Wealth, status, beauties.Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and the only reason for not making concessions is that the conditions they set have not yet reached the scale of the other party.

Neia shook her head: "Please leave it to me."

The king subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Neia was very firm.The king couldn't compete with him, so he had to compromise: "If it doesn't go well, you must tell me."

"it is good."

Having not seen his son for so long, the king had a thousand words to say.One of them sat in a chair, stroking his son's head, and the other sat on the ground, leaning on his father's lap, all the way from St Padres to Vipens.

When the king thought of his inhumane nephew, he felt cold all over his body: "It's unbelievable that such a person would appear in our family." Compared with the royal families of other countries in Dreamland, the Langzan royal family can be regarded as harmonious and happy.

Neia said, "He has already been punished."

"It's not enough!" Thinking that Neia almost died on the gallows on charges made out of nothing, the king was full of hostility, "Not only did he lose everything and run away like a mouse, I also want him to pay the price he deserves. For you, and for your uncle who died young."

There was a scene in Neia's mind - Dover roared at him with a ferocious face, his body slowly turned into fly ash...

He didn't know if it was his imagination or reality.He later asked Chamberlain, who said he did not see ashes on the gallows. "It's clean. It's kind of weird to say that." Chamberlain said, "It's spotless."

They lost track of time talking about it, and after lunch, they didn't feel hungry until the dwarf came in with afternoon tea.

The dwarf served tea and water graciously, and then sat down beside Neia consciously.

The king's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he pulled Neia up to sit on the other side.

Even at a distance, the dwarf still kept his eyes on him.

Neia was at a loss.The dwarf's changes are too fast, and he can't keep up with the rhythm.

The king felt that such a stalemate was not an option, so he inquired about the origin of the dwarf.

The dwarf was talking nonsense.Sometimes they say they are orphans, sometimes they say they were abused by their parents when they were young, and sometimes they say they grew up locked in a cupboard by mean uncles and aunts.

The king said: "You must need a house very much now."

The dwarf said: "After I have the little prince, I will live in the palace."

The king clenched his fist, slowly raised his hand, coughed a few times and said, "Ningia will leave Langzan in the future and travel around."

The dwarf said, "Then I don't need a house anymore."

king:"……"

The king said: "You look old. Don't you think about finding a stable career? Langzan needs someone like you. Look, what about the position of the first knight in the palace? We have invited many knights recently. Joining Langzan with a magician, you can form a knight group and choose the best members from them."

For a dwarf of unknown origin, this condition is generous enough to make most of the nobles in Longzan envious and envious.Even Neia looked at the king in surprise.

The king didn't change his face.Normally, he would not be so impulsive to hand over the power of forming the knight order to a stranger, but now, he needs combat power.The opponent is a seventh-rank knight, so it's okay to make an exception for promotion.

The dwarf nodded this time: "If the little prince wants to travel around, he really needs an accompanying team."

The king's other fist was also itchy: "No. The First Knights must stay in Longzan."

The dwarf said: "Can I sign the little prince to join the regiment?"

"No."

"Then I don't want it anymore." The dwarf vividly demonstrated what it means to "no oil and salt".

king:"……"

After eating the pastry, Neia gracefully wiped the corners of her mouth and stood up, saying to the dwarf, "I want to talk to you alone."

The king was not happy to see them alone: ​​"I will not disturb you."

The dwarf said: "If you disturb someone's relationship, you will be struck by lightning."

"..." The king felt that he was about to be struck by lightning.

Neia left with the dwarf. Before leaving, the king shouted to Neia, "I will always stand behind you."

The dwarf added in a low voice: "Looking at your back, I can't catch up with you."

Neia: "..."

The palace has several gardens.Located to the east of the palace, the one near the hunting ground that often blooms unknown flowers in spring and autumn is his favorite.The grass here is green, the flowers are like stars, and the beauty is fresh and elegant.

Neia was sure no one was around, so she looked at him seriously and asked, "Who are you?"

The dwarf blinked: "Why do you ask that?" After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Who do you think I am?"

"What's your purpose in coming to Langzan?"

The dwarf's face turned cold, he put away his expectation, and said noncommittally: "I have already made my purpose very clear. If you didn't hear clearly, I can say it again, I want to be with you."

Neia looked at him and said nothing.

"Don't you want to?" The dwarf looked at him with a smile, "Then who do you want to be with?"

Neia froze for a while, her thoughts were confused for a while, and a person who had been deliberately forgotten for a long time gradually emerged.

Pretty.

intelligent.

Kindness.

justice.

brave.

……

It was a boy who was piled up with praises, so beautiful that people couldn't help but want to get close.

But they can only stop at friends.

The dwarf looked at his expression, and slowly put away his smile, the anger in his eyes was so hot that he couldn't hide it.Black air is lingering in his palm, and evil thoughts are breeding - as long as he raises his hand, he can draw out his soul, making him surrender to his own consciousness forever... never daring to betray again.

"Not at all." Neia came back to her senses, as if she had dropped some boulder, and shook her head in relief, "Just like my father said, I want to travel around like a troubadour."

The dwarf was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "So, who do you want to be your companion?"

Neia looked up at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "If there is such a day, let's be together."

The dwarf froze.

Neia knelt down on one knee, looked up at the dwarf, held his hand and said, "So, please swear not to harm my country and family."

As the pain that the curse inflicted on him became more and more serious, he could hear the footsteps of death every day.Unwillingness slowly compromised in pain, and his future was already dark.He didn't know when he would suddenly lose the courage to continue living, maybe it was the next moment, or it might be this moment.Then, let him play the last bit of value as a liar before he dies.
