【Ji Lai】Afternoon of Shepherd

The weather in August is really hot.

Outside the window facing the gate of the government affairs room are several sycamores, and the chirping of summer cicadas interrupts the harmonious tranquility.

Siegfried only had the last three years in his memory, and among all the fragments he could remember, even when the laser from a sniper rifle fell on a person's heart, it couldn't compare to the rapid heartbeat at this moment.

This is the first time Siegfried has been arranged to come to the government office of the most honored emperor in the universe——Reinhard von Rohenkram, to perform his duties as a royal physician.He was bleeding too fast like when he first met each other on the tall building in Heinesen.Although he tried his best to maintain a calm and indifferent appearance, the palm holding the medicine tightly was still slightly wet.

In fact, it's past the time to take medicine, but the young emperor doesn't seem to want to stop working.His gorgeous long golden hair hung down on both sides of the documents he held in his hand, and the light in his extremely pale blue eyes was completely projected into the mountains of official documents.He carefully looked at each page of the affairs reported by his officials, and made some comments and replies with a quill pen.Sometimes he was worried, sometimes frowned, sometimes bit his index finger, and sometimes brushed the bangs on his forehead with his slender fingers, and the dangling gold threads sprinkled the air around him with glittering gold powder.

Reinhard's body is very slender, but his back is always straight.He looked more handsome than most, save for a rosy blush from the fever on his cheeks.If he hadn't known in advance that he was a patient, Siegfried would, like the public, think that the young emperor was a verdant pine and cypress, full of vitality.

As a professional killer, what he lacks most is patience, not to mention that he feels that watching Reinhardt's elegant figure is really a kind of enjoyment.He carefully looked at every outline and every movement of the other party, they were so strange yet familiar.

Siegfried hides a special metal-treated firearm in his underwear, which can avoid the security check of high-tech rays.But he believes that if he just rushed forward like this, there is a high probability that he can easily subdue the opponent without any weapons.According to his self-perception of himself, he believes that there are not many people in this world who can fight against him in hand-to-hand combat.And judging by his professional eyesight, Reinhard's body covered by the cloak and military uniform was too thin.

He subconsciously worried.It's really surprising that under the glamorous appearance in front of the public, Emperor Reinhardt is a completely willful child in private. Not only is his life and rest and regular medications irregular, but his security seems to be too casual.Of course, there may be the latest weapons hidden outside the windows and corners that cannot be seen, waiting for him to throw himself into the trap.

Siegfried just looked at the young and beautiful emperor quietly, and the timer on his wrist showed that he had been ignored by the emperor for two hours.Does the emperor put his life into work like this every day?If it wasn't because it was too long before the time to take the medicine, he really didn't want to disturb His Majesty the Emperor by making a sound.

Before being controlled by reason, Siegfried involuntarily said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine."

At this moment, Reinhard was like a teenager who was immersed in his own world and was awakened. He raised his head and looked at Siegfried blankly, a trace of unrest flashed in his ice blue eyes.

Siegfried did not let go of Reinhardt's expression change at this moment, as if he didn't need to think about it, he slowed down his breathing, and said again in a voice that was several times gentler than before, "Your Majesty, please take good care of your body... ..."

The moment he heard his voice, Reinhard stood up abruptly, looking at him with ice blue eyes in astonishment.

They just stared at each other, Siegfried couldn't move his eyes even though he knew it was very rude.

The summer sun shines through the transparent window screens, the halo is concentrated on the person in front of him, and the world around him is momentarily dimmed, and Siegfried can no longer see anything other than Reinhardt.

After an unknown amount of time, Reinhardt's crystal-clear voice broke the frozen time first, "Dr. Morrissey? I have read Qing's resume. You are Dr. Morrissey from the Research Department of Fraser University of Medical Sciences?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Siegfried tried his best to keep his breathing steady.

The emperor's golden eyelashes trembled, and he nodded, "Very well, Qing is indeed what I imagined..." His lips were slightly pale, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he seemed to have made some kind of decision , "I heard that Dr. Murray is ill, so would you be willing to stay by my side temporarily from now on?"

"Okay, Your Majesty." Siegfried nodded, tried his best to hide his joy, and answered calmly.

Before reminiscing about the luck he got, he mustered up his courage, took a deep breath, stared at Reinhardt's thin sick face and said gently and carefully, "Your Majesty, are you so self-willed every day? Why don't you take medicine like this?" Will it be alright?"

Reinhardt seemed to have been hit hard, he raised his head again, staring at Siegfried's face with wide eyes, his wavy blond hair swayed with his movements, like throwing pieces of gold leaf in the room.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, Qing is also called Siegfried?... Siegfried is really a tacky name." Reinhardt did not respond to Siegfried's advice, but suddenly said Talk about insignificant words.He pressed his hand on the pendant on his chest, looking a little dazed.

After a while, he walked up to Siegfried, wrapped his hands around a round of his forehead hair, looked at it carefully, and then let it go again, "Why is it brown hair, I don't like this color." The tone was like It's a reproach and it's like being coquettish.

Siegfried was very terrified. For a subject, no matter how approachable the emperor was, the distance would be too close. Moreover, Reinhard did not use a self-proclaimed identity this time.

Siegfried suddenly realized that Reinhard probably wasn't talking to himself.He was looking at himself, maybe just looking at other people through himself.Fortunately, no matter what, he was standing in front of him, so close that he could smell his fragrance even when he breathed.

Siegfried's fingers began to tremble.

He's a killer, and his mission target couldn't be any closer.At this moment, he obviously should have pulled out the gun in his coat and pulled the trigger, or stretched out his hand to break the target's neck, but before he realized it, he had already stretched out his hand to comfort the emperor's back.

The shining blond hair overlapped with the sleeping beauty, Siegfried used extraordinary perseverance to suppress the heat going up the spinal cord, and said from between his lips and teeth, "I'm sorry...", he said well Very natural, like a long-standing habit.He felt sorry from the bottom of his heart, and even thought seriously, even if his identity was exposed, even if his life might be threatened, shouldn't he wash off the hair dye and come to the emperor tomorrow?

Reinhard came to his senses, and smiled apologetically at him, "It's me who should say I'm sorry, isn't your hair color inherent to you? I'm superficially picky about its color, but it makes Qing You're laughing at me." As he spoke, he gave Siegfried a meaningful look.

Siegfried's heart was pounding. Is what His Majesty said now really just a coincidence?

"Doctor Morrissey, put down the medicine and leave, and you can leave. Next time you deliver the medicine, you can put it on the tea table over there, so you don't have to wait for me."

After issuing the eviction order, Reinhard seemed to remember something again. He stared into Siegfried's eyes and explained earnestly, "Please don't worry, I will definitely live well."

Hearing his promise, Siegfried smiled at him unconsciously, bowed and left.

When closing the door of the government affairs room, Siegfried looked back.Reinhard had stopped looking at him, and moved his hand to his chest, where Siegfried noticed a silver pendant.His slender and white fingers kept opening and closing the pendant box, but there was no movement in his eyes.

For no reason, Siegfried already understood that everything just now was like a dream, and all those intense emotions that were willing or unwilling to be revealed to others should have been hidden deep in the depths of Reinhard's habit for a long time.

Stinging pain, worry, and unwillingness boiled in his heart. He suppressed the urge to explore, knowing that it is so difficult for him now to enter the sanctuary in Reinhardt's heart. The distance between Reinhardt and him is So out of reach.

Reinhardt is the arrogant Lily born in the clouds, and his identity can only hide in the darkness, so he is doomed to be just one of the mortal beings who look up to him at the foot of the mountain.

Full of melancholy, Siegfried walked out of the room, just in time to meet the guards on duty changing their guards.

After calculation, he hid in a blind spot in the corridor where the monitoring could not reach, and turned on the detection device on his wrist.In a very short period of time, he has searched out the monitoring equipment in the corridor that does not belong to the palace system, and is installed privately in the palace by the Earth Church and other organizations.

Reinhardt not only didn't care about his own health, he didn't care much about his own safety, and he didn't care about strengthening the security system.

Although the gendarmerie has equipped the palace guards with equipment and supporting training techniques that have reached a very high level, in Siegfried's view, these are far from enough to protect the most important emperor, His Majesty, and he shook his head in dissatisfaction. Shake your head.

What Siegfried can do now is only some subtle compensation work that is not easy to be noticed by both parties.He quickly used the latest equipment in his hand to connect the monitoring system outside the palace to the artificially synthesized temporary palace corridor picture he preset in a hidden house in Feisha.

After eliminating potential safety hazards, Siegfried breathed a sigh of relief.In the coming time, he plans to find out all the other surveillance cameras hidden in the temporary palace and paralyze them one by one.

After returning to the corridor, he took a deep look at the closed door of the government office, thinking about what he had done, and decided that he must be crazy.
