The Dog Rider is the Demon King

Chapter 22 Candlelight

Ron stood at the door rubbing his palms, and paced back and forth hesitantly at the door.He didn't know how to face Benjeta. He liked Brent for one thing, and he didn't think about the future between him and Brent.But it's another matter that I didn't push him away because of that little secret thought, and being bumped into by Benjeta.When I first arrived at the door, the sun was still lazily hanging in the west, and the last sunlight of the day dyed the whole street red.However, when he finally made up his mind to open the door, the sky was already as dark as an ink bottle that had been left unused for a long time, with only a few scattered stars hanging on it, exuding a dim light.Pushing open the door, Ron saw Benjeta sitting by the fireplace watching him quietly.

Arlo secretly glanced at the expressionless Benjeta on the stairs, gave Ron a "good luck" look, and returned to his room.A Luo married Lisa two years ago and moved out. However, although the married life is sweet, once the couple quarrels, A Luo will be kicked out.Now Fitty is a great magician, but because she is alone, she did not move to the house allocated by the Magician's Union.Fitty is also very busy now, too busy to manage the rental apartment.Ten years have passed, and Loki has successfully promoted to a senior magician and moved out of the apartment. Now he comes back to visit occasionally, but he doesn't live here anymore.

So the only ones who are still living here... are Benjieta and Ron and Fitty.So in a sense, the house is now Benjitta's.

Seeing Arlo's eyes expressing his helplessness, Ron felt cold again, and tremblingly walked to the opposite of Benjeta and stood obediently, with his hands behind his back and his head bowed.

Benjeta looked at Ron in front of him. He didn't know when he had grown taller than himself. Only then did he realize that the child had grown up. He couldn't say that he could be alone, but at least he began to have his own ideas.Thinking of this, Benjeta found that he suddenly couldn't speak a word of the long speech he had planned. "Sit down, we father and son have a good chat. I've been busy these few years, and I haven't had a good chat with you for a long time. It's because I did something wrong and ignored your feelings."

"Do not……"

"Okay, I know what I did right. When did you and... His Royal Highness... start?"

"We... didn't start."

"He's a prince, you're just a commoner, you two are together... what do you say? If you're not together, you hug each other?" Benjeta's brain seemed to be rusted, and he couldn't turn this corner. , Judging from the situation at that time, the two of them were indeed hugging each other, did they hug each other when they were not together?So... Benjeta looked at Ron with strange eyes, "Baby, why..."

"Dad is not what you think, we... can't explain this matter in a few words." Feeling Benjeta's eyes, Ron knew that he must have thought too much, but he didn't know how to describe his current situation. Feeling, simply kept silent.

Benjeta was a little puzzled when he heard Ron's words: "No? What's going on? You made it clear. You're so vague. I don't know what you think in your heart."

Ron thought about it, and explained that he and Brent actually liked each other, but he still considered the gap between himself and Brent and did not agree to be with him. "He's a prince, I can't have any good results with him." In the end, Ron ended his tirade with a whole sentence.

The room was a little quiet for a while, and Benjeta didn't know what to say. Obviously what Ron said was what he wanted to say, but he always felt a subtle sense of frustration and a little inexplicable discomfort.After Ron said that, he was actually a little uneasy, and he was not sure what Benjeta might think.

"Baby... do you really like His Royal Highness?"

Ron never thought that Benjeta would ask this, and he didn't react for a while.When he realized it, he thought for a while before saying, "Is it important whether you like it or not?"

"It's very important. You are still young, my child. Why do you always want to arrange everything in the future so completely? You are only so old to live your life... It's too early. At your current age, you should still rush forward , if you don’t recite the spells you just learned and still keep in your mind, you will never know if you recite them correctly.” These words were said by Rosen when he was a junior magician, and he seemed to be in a trance. In Ron, I saw myself back then. At that time, I was very cautious for fear of making mistakes, for fear that if I did something wrong, I would lose ground in the eyes of others.

Benjeta knew that she felt inferior.This kind of inferiority complex cannot be erased, because I have been an orphan since I was a child and my talents are not very extraordinary.But it was precisely because of this past that he didn't want Ron to continue to feel inferior like this. Isn't it because he likes men and princes? What's the big deal.As long as you firmly hold His Royal Highness, no one can hurt him.He didn't believe that the king would be cruel to his beloved little prince, doctrine?He doesn't care about that kind of nonsense, but if those magic sticks don't have healing magic, there is no chance for them to pretend to be noble and lie in the church all day long.

Ron, who didn't know how to respond to Benjeta's words, stared dumbfounded at the changing expressions on this year's face, who was immersed in her own world and divergent thinking.First he was sad and depressed, then his eyes were firm, then he smiled smugly after thinking of something, and then suddenly there was disdain in his smile...

Finally realizing his vivid psychological description, Benjeta, who was unmistakably exposed in front of Ron, clenched his right fist and coughed lightly, quickly adjusted his expression to his usual serious look: "Baby, You know what I mean. You still have a lot of time and more possibilities waiting for you to discover. You haven't grown up enough to know what you want, so you should have everything Try it again. Worried about this and that now, and regret it when I am old enough to know what I want? As your father, I naturally hope that you will grow up well, but growing up well does not It doesn't mean that you are as comprehensive as you are now. Ron, I hope that you will have youthful vigor when you are young, and live a more... a little more free and easy."

"But he is a prince, the church will not agree, the king will not agree, and other commoners will not agree."

"Son, don't think that the little prince is so important. He is a prince, but he also has two older brothers. He is regarded as a topic of conversation after dinner, but the only thing everyone knows about him is that he is a magic genius. There are so many big things happening every day, you and the little prince are just falling in love, it’s nothing. To tell you something I shouldn’t be talking to you at this time, even if the king has to choose an heir before he dies, the heir may be the little prince Brent The sex is also negligible. The eldest prince didn’t make any big mistakes, and the people also recognized him. Even if the eldest prince might really make mistakes in the future, there is still the second prince. As for the church, oh, the power check and balance between the king and the church, The church does not dare to go beyond the king and do something to the little prince directly. To the king, the little prince is a child he likes very much. No matter what, he will not push him into the fire pit. If the relationship between the two of you is good enough... at all There won't be any danger. Or...do you suspect that you don't like him enough, or that he doesn't like you enough?" Benjeta, who has raised little Ron for more than ten years, naturally knows what kind of words are useful to him. The somewhat thirsty Benjeta counted the cold coffee in front of him and took a sip in satisfaction.

He knew that there was a loophole in what he just said, but he felt that Ron might not understand it now, so he didn't need to say it all.

The old king who is determined to go his own way will definitely suffer in the hands of those old-fashioned people. It is very cool to think that all his hard work has been wasted, and he may turn his three children into enemies.Even if he couldn't avenge old Rosen himself, he didn't mind adding more firewood—he had a way to protect Ron's safety anyway.

Ron felt that there was a lot of information in what Benjeta said just now, and he needed to digest it.

Benjeta looked at the distress that was rarely shown on Ron's face with interest, and felt that this was a bit of a young man.The coffee in the cup was finished, and Benjeta walked into the kitchen with the cup, and said to Ron when passing by: "Baby, do whatever you want, you don't need to think about the result at your current age."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Ron listened to it or not, he washed the cups and went back to his room to sleep.

The lights in the living room were out, only a candle in front of Ron was flickering quietly.The faint candlelight shone on Ron's preoccupied cheeks, and Ron frowned slightly, his heart was troubled like a mess.

Early the next morning, Arlo came down from upstairs, and the first thing he saw when he passed the living room was Ron, who was asleep on the table. Not far in front of him was a candlestick covered with wax. A small flame was still beating slightly.With a satisfied smile on Ron's face, it looked like a good dream.

Benjeta followed Arlo, saw Ron's expression, and smiled with satisfaction.Arlo turned around and saw Benjeta, and quickly lowered his voice and asked him, "What's the matter, why is little Ron falling asleep here?"

"You don't understand, the young man is just beginning to fall in love."

"Bah, I'm married, what about you?" Alo couldn't understand the look on Benjeta's face that treated him like a child, so he had to make fun of the fact that Benjeta wasn't married yet.

"Yes, Lisa will be here to pick you up in a while. Tell me about you, how can you still be eaten to death after two years of marriage." Benjeta still had the same smile on her face. , even though he had scolded Arlo several times in his heart, his face still had a mocking look on his face.

The doorbell rang, and Benjeta walked over to open the door. Sure enough, it was Lisa.Lisa entered the room and dragged Alo away. Seeing Ron lying on the table, she couldn't help asking Benjieta with concern: "Are you bullying little Ron again?"

"No... Lisa, where did you come from?"

"Well, that's the best, otherwise..." Lisa waved her fist. All these years, she regarded Ron as her younger brother, and she felt very sorry for this very sensible child at a young age.

"Okay, auntie, take Alo away, Ron and I still have work today." Lisa is a straightforward person, and Benjeta knew that he meant no harm, so she made a little joke along with her words .

After seeing off the Arlo couple, Ron was already awake when he returned to the living room, and the expression on his face clearly said "I'm very excited".

Benjeta stepped forward and rubbed Ron's hair: "Got it?"

"Yeah." Ron stood up, his bright eyes filled with joy, and he hugged Benjeta, "Thank you, Dad."

"You child." Benjeta stroked the back of Ron's head, waved his hand, and the candle on the table went out.

A new day begins.

The author has something to say:

Well, it's just so casual, without any weird obstacles, after all, the identities of the next two people are the biggest obstacles (laughs).

As for the part that Benjeta didn’t mention, it means that the old king Berhot wanted to make Brent the next king, otherwise he wouldn’t have specially organized a group of rich and gifted children for Brent to be “princes” Accompanying reading".But the ministers will definitely not agree, so Benjeta said that he is already aware of the bloody storm in the future.

So Benjeta is not loyal to the king.

As for Benjeta's hole card, of course it is the old Mrs. Fitti who is not so loyal to Berhot and only wants to reform.Once the king really provoked chaos (for example, some kind of forced pass), then Fitty would definitely go through this muddy water and protect Brent. After all, she put all her hopes on Brent.

Fitty also wants Brent to succeed, and she planned to push Ron to Brent's side and become his most trusted person's plan. Becoming a lover is undoubtedly overfulfilling the task. (Skinny smile)
