Invade the white dove

Julius walked quickly to the wooden bed.

He searched under the pillow, in the mattress, and even under the bed, but there was no trace of the pendant.

Could it be that Sotiria hid for him again?

Yulis knelt on one knee beside the bed, his eyes carefully searching the small room.

nowhere.

It must be, it must be that Sotiria was afraid that he would be exposed, so he kept the pendant by his side before leaving. Mr. Knight has done this before, and his meticulousness always made Julius embarrassed.

Other than that, there is no other reasonable explanation.Although this place is remote, it is the bedroom of the Duke of the Empire, except for the personal attendant, no one can approach it at will.And Julius had also clearly told Hassan that he only needed to make the bed and not mess with other items.

After ruling out all possibilities, Julis picked up the pillow he had thrown on the ground, leaned back against the bed, shook his head and laughed.

He hadn't been this flustered in a long time, and it seemed that Sotiria had stolen his composure when he left.He finally grew into a "man", but under Sotiria's pampering, he turned back to the boy who could only cry.

A well-timed knock on the door interrupted his slander against Sotiria.

"My lord, Your Majesty invites you to dinner." Hassan waited by the door.

Just as Julius was about to nod, he felt that Hassan seemed a little different from usual.

He said "calling you to dinner", but this thoughtful and thoughtful boy never forgot to take care of the emotions of "Lord Sabol".

Did Hassan realize that he was alone in the room?

"My lord—" Hassan urgently urged, "Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Yulis put his hand under the pillow calmly, and put the Hidden Blade in his clothes.Immediately, he stood up, grabbed the cloak, and tied it around his shoulders.

"You're getting more and more rude."

Hassan bowed his head in silence.

The young king liked music and poetry, and he even sighed that "I would rather not eat meat for a day, but fall asleep listening to music".

Lion Castle will hold music banquets every now and then, and almost all musicians, artists, and poets who are famous in Gaman will gather together.Not to mention that this is the first day of Kyle's return to the royal court, a wide variety of food, the singing voice of the bard and the graceful dance steps of the dancer must be indispensable.

But now, when Julius stepped into the hall, he felt for the first time the desertedness that should not exist in the Lion Castle.

The thick velvet curtains blocked the morning sun, and in the huge restaurant, there was only one candle burning on the rectangular dining table.In the depths of the candlelight, the sound of ding and dang tableware hitting the porcelain plate was heard intermittently.

"My dear Duke, you are here." Kyle's voice sounded abruptly in the darkness, "Come here, sit beside me, and let me take a good look at you."

With a snap of his fingers, another cluster of candles lit up, illuminating Kyle's pale face from bottom to top, and there was a bright smile on his bright red lips.

The cold crept up his back, and Yulis' body tensed subconsciously: "Your Majesty, I have kept you waiting."

"Hmm..." Kyle shook off the napkin, and slowly and gracefully pressed it on the corner of his lips. The red juice left at the corner of his mouth immediately moistened the white napkin, "It's not long. Hassan just told me an interesting story. It's a thought-provoking joke, and you've come here before I figured out the meaning."

Kyle pulled away the wooden stool beside him, patted the carved armrest, and ordered again: "Come here, sit next to me."

Before the king repeated his order for the third time, Julius finally sat beside him.

Hassan also stood by the dining table immediately after disappearing, and put the porcelain tray in front of Julis—a bowl of milk soup, a piece of white bread fried with butter, a piece of triangle cheese, three steaming sticks sausage.On the delicate glazed dinner plate, there are three crystal-clear red candied cherries.

Hassan finally offered a glass of blood-red drink with both hands.

"This is the latest fruit drink developed by the chef. Strawberries and cherries are ground into juice, and then mixed with a small glass of mead. Even a person like me who can't drink three glasses will not get drunk."

Kyle propped his forehead with his left hand and looked sideways at Julis.

The right hand holding the table knife poked at the plate one after another, and soon, the grilled sausage on the plate was cut into a pile of rotten meat, "You carried the spell I taught you last night. After going back, what happened with my lover?"

"I had a big fight with him." Julis explained, with a husky voice full of loneliness, "I cursed him to hell, he... left before dawn."

Kyle nodded thoughtfully: "Look, I am the tyrant who will never leave you in the end. I am destined to be with you."

Julius looked up at Kyle in the candlelight.

"Try it." Kyle tapped the glass with his fingers.

Julis took a sip from the goblet. At first, it was refreshing sweet and sour, and then he tasted a little spicy fermented mead on the tip of his tongue. It smells like pig iron.

A blunt numbness spread upward from the stomach pouch, and Julius felt a little numb in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

However, before the question was uttered, Kyle threw the knife on the plate with a bang, and Hassan, who was waiting on the side, handed over a silver spoon.

"There are poppies in it, which can make the food more delicious." Kyle scooped the chopped sausage into the spoon and poured it on the edge of Julius's dinner plate. This is a specialty of Stanislav. Ah, you should not know that, unlike other countries, in Garman, only the early winter of each year is the time when wild boars are the fattest."

The young king's voice was crisp and clear, but his speech was extremely slow. When speaking, his emerald eyes stared at Julis motionlessly, as if he was teasing a prey that had already fallen into a trap.

Julius put his left hand on his knee, and the hilt of the dagger was already in his palm.

Kyle's eyes flickered, and he turned around suddenly: "Hassan, tell the Duke about your joke."

"I have heard that believers of false gods use the 'circle' as a symbol of God."

Kneeling beside Kyle, Hassan took out a gauze from his pocket, which seemed to be wrapped with something.Kyle raised his chin and nodded in the direction of Ulis. Hassan then kneeled in front of Ulis, holding the cloth ball with both hands, revealing the ring pendant inside.

Hassan's voice was gentle and gentle: "I once heard a pleasant and unfamiliar voice coming from the duke's room. I thought that thieves had entered the palace, but in the candlelight, I saw the duke kissing the devil, and calling him ..."

Before Hassan finished speaking, Julius grabbed the tablecloth on the table with one hand and shook it vigorously. The moment the leftovers fell to the ground, he kicked Hassan away and was thrown high up. He picked up the pendant and carried it in his arms.

The candlestick hit the table, and the flame went out instantly.The moment the restaurant was completely plunged into darkness, Julis drew out the dagger in his sleeve and pressed it against Kyle's throat.

He took a deep breath.

"His Majesty……"

"Dear Yulis, the heir of Pearl City, the white dove of Odong, we finally officially meet."

Kyle cut off Julis's words and clapped his palms "snap", his voice was not flustered, but filled with endless joy.
