Five years later, what should have been a touching scene turned into a shocking scene under the words of the little princess.
The little princess' words were so straightforward that everyone, including Garlan, fell into silence.
The scene was very embarrassing.
Therefore, the most cunning Nanna priest in the scene decided to flee the scene because he still had business to deal with.
Seeing that Suojia took the lead, Zuo Sixiang, who was shocked by the little princess' words for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, coughed and withdrew for the same reason.
Just when he was leaving, he glanced at the little princess with a thoughtful look, as if he was thinking about something.
Looking at the blue eyes of the little princess looking straight at him, Garlan finally understood why the Merry Knight, who has always been able to navigate among the many noble ladies, and who is gentle and considerate towards any woman, will meet General Elson. Resolutely avoid and refuse to meet.
He rubbed his head, feeling that this was a little troublesome.
Although the little princess said that she would come back to find him and give birth to his child before she parted with him, but in Garlan's view, it was just a child's child's words, which should not be taken seriously.
It's just a child's whim, because he saved her and developed a sense of dependence on himself, so he would say such words.
Garlan felt that as time passed, as the little princess grew up, she would gradually forget about it.
Who knew that the little princess had really memorized this matter for five years, and when she became an adult, she ran over excitedly.
The development of things really made him laugh and cry.
Not to mention that I already have someone by my side, even if there is no one, I don't have any thoughts about the little princess at all.
After all, the little princess was only ten years old when we first met. Although she is beautiful and cute, he is not a pervert. How could he have any thoughts about the little girl
… and many more.
Thinking of this, Garlan reacted.
Speaking of someone around...
Uh... Heimos... Seems like, like... is here too... right
Heymos!
His chest panicked and he couldn't care about anything else, Garlan turned his head suddenly and looked at Heimos beside him.
In the last celebration, only someone wanted to get close to him, and Heimos threw his sword directly.
Now the little princess is saying straight to his face that she wants his baby - it's almost like saying 'I'm going to have a good night with you'.
He couldn't imagine what Heimos would do at all.
Garlan looked over nervously, and even made preparations to get up and stop the other party in an emergency.
But unlike what Gallan had expected, Heimos, who was standing beside him, did not move.
He just turned his head and looked at the little princess quietly.
The black hair scattered from his cheeks covered the corners of his eyes, and Garlan couldn't see the eyes he was looking at the little princess at the moment, only the expression on his face looked light and expressionless.
However, that calm look made Garlan's heart tighten for some reason.
Feeling Garlan's gaze, Heimos turned his head and met Garlan's gaze.
Probably guessing the reason why Garland looked at him nervously, Heimos smiled at Garland, his eyes were soft, with a bit of reassurance, obviously telling Garland not to worry, he didn't. will mess up.
Hearing the meaning conveyed by Heimos' gaze, Garlan did not feel relieved because of it.
He lowered his eyes, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The unruly eagle that was supposed to soar in the sky shattered its wings.
The solitary black wolf, who should have stood proudly on the top of the mountain, hid his claws and bowed his head.
That fierce beast that never bowed its head to anyone and even dared to change its fate against the sky forced itself to restrain its inherent pride and fierceness, learned to compromise, and learned to forbear.
Garlan's hand on the armrest of the seat clenched slightly.
Yes, this may save him from having to worry about it, and no longer need to find ways to clean up the aftermath.
But... is this really what he wants
…
In the silence, Xie Muer coughed gently, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
He stared at Emma, his face not very good-looking.
In the view of the stern and rigid high priest, this Elson princess's behavior is extremely disrespectful, so he is very dissatisfied.
"Princess Elson, you came to meet King Gallan as an emissary of Elson, not as a private person."
He said in an almost reproachful tone.
"Please pay attention to your identity."
The young Elson female warrior blinked and thought for a while, then nodded simply.
"Indeed, Your Excellency High Priest, you are right, I have overstepped."
She apologized cheerfully, then looked up at Garlan again.
Her eyes were still clear, but more formal.
"King Garland, I hereby extend my sincere greetings to you on behalf of Queen Elson."
After earnestly saluting and speaking, Emma got up and handed a gift list to Xie Muer.
"This is a gift from the Queen to King Garlan."
The little princess' voice brought Garlan back to his senses.
He quickly adjusted his mood, looked up at Emma, and started a formal conversation.
The little princess stopped talking about the child, and their conversation went much smoother. They talked about the business situation between Elson Country and Tozes City after this year, and the entrustment of Elson female warriors that started not long ago. Training of Aaron Landis' archer troops, and assisting the city of Tozes to build speed-type warships, etc.
After the conversation, the high priest, who was originally dissatisfied with the princess, nodded slightly in his heart.
Although this Elson's princess was a little out of place at first, once she got down to business, she was also righteous.
It may still be a little immature, but considering that it is the first time to serve as an envoy, the performance is not bad. In time, it will not be much worse than General Vinier.
Queen Elson is also a successor.
After the conversation, the little princess didn't say anything more, she saluted Garland and left honestly.
Garland was relieved because of this.
…
…
The day passed in a blink of an eye, and it got dark.
The crescent moon has just climbed into the night sky. There are some clouds tonight, and the moonlight is not bright.
Spring has passed, and early summer has come, and all kinds of lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom.
On the huge balcony on the side of the palace, the white jade fence extends out into the courtyard and hangs above the small half of the pool.
Garlan sat sideways on the long stone chair inside the stone fence, one of his slender legs landed on the outside of the stone chair, and the other erected his knee on it.
He leaned against a stone pillar and tilted his head to look outside the stone fence.
The clear crescent pond is at his feet. In the pond, lavender lotus flowers are blooming on the surging water waves, and the green leaves are undulating in it.
The cool breeze swept across Garlan's cheeks, lifting a strand of his long golden hair.
Behind him, the transparent tulle covering the inside of the room danced softly in the wind, if there were no traces of moonlight.
The female officer lifted the fluttering tulle, walked from the room to the balcony, and delivered a glass of juice with crushed ice to Garlan.
Garland took it and took a sip.
"So sweet."
he murmured softly.
Tapti looked at Garlan, smiled softly, and then turned to go back to the room.
"Tapti."
The sudden voice made the female officer stop, turn around, and look at Garlan.
Still leaning against the stone pillar and sitting sideways on the stone bench, Garlan lowered his eyes, holding the glass cup in his hands, turning it gently.
The little bit of loss that flashed when Heimos looked at the little princess flashed in his mind.
[I'm jealous of them... They can dance for you in public and woo you...]
"Tapti, did I do something wrong at the Flower Festival Celebration?"
Garland asked.
The drooping slender eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheek and moved slightly.
His voice was small, sounding a bit like a child who had done something wrong, and there was a bit of loss in his tone.
Tapti thought seriously about Garlan's question.
"Your Majesty, if you are a partner, it is indeed a wrong approach."
said the lady chief.
The next sentence was a sudden change of direction.
"But, as King Aaron Landis, you are doing the right thing."
she shook her head.
"Since Your Excellency Heimos chose to love you back then, he should understand that this is what is destined to happen. If he can't understand your actions, so as to embarrass you or even force you, then, He is not qualified to continue to accompany you."
…
He understands.
He also understands.
So he said nothing and did nothing.
His fingers turned the glass cup in his hand unconsciously, looking at the shattered ice in the cup, Garlan thought absentmindedly.
At this time, a maid came hurriedly and reported a sentence to the female officer in a low voice.
The female officer nodded, turned her head and said, "Your Majesty, Novi is here, just outside the door. Do you want to see him?"
"Novi? Let him in."
Accompanied by steady footsteps, the young knight commander lifted the fluttering veil and appeared in front of Garlan.
The purpose of Novi's visit to Garland is to ask Garland to go to the battlefield.
According to the regulations, the legion that returned to the capital city for rest would not go to the battlefield again after half a year of rest, but Novi really couldn't wait. He hopes to return to the battlefield as soon as possible to hone himself, establish merits, and let himself grow up at the fastest speed to become a general in the Aaron Landis Army.
So he came over tonight and asked Garlan to transfer himself to the frontline battlefield in the West.
Garlan could understand Novi's eagerness to go to the Western Frontier battlefield.
After all, he has worked hard for five years to avenge himself on the battlefield to avenge his relatives and the pain he has endured in the past.
Garlan thought for a while, then nodded in response.
In Novi's happy eyes, Garlan made a request.
"Stay in Wangcheng for another week, and accompany me to spend the gods' ceremony in Wangcheng. After that, I will send you to the west, okay?"
After looking at the golden eyes looking at him with a smile for a while, Novi lowered his head.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
he whispered.
The slightly pursed lips made his face seem a little awkward, but the tone of his speech revealed his expectation.
Not only Garlan, but even the female officer next to him looked at this awkward young man and couldn't help covering the corners of his lips with his fingers.
The two were talking, and someone came to visit.
Unlike Novi's calm pace just now, the footsteps of the person coming this time were extremely brisk, and it took only a few breaths to pass through most of the palace and come to Garlan.
When she saw Garlan at a glance, the girl's eyes as blue as the ocean curled up into the arc of a crescent moon in the night sky.
Her smile is bright, with the vitality of the rising sun rising from the ocean.
"I'm not here to see you as a messenger, so can we talk about private matters?"
As soon as they met, the young Princess Elson went straight to the point unceremoniously.
Still without the slightest concealment, go straight in.
"How do you think about the thing I mentioned about wanting your child?"
Without waiting for Garlan to answer, she continued to speak enthusiastically.
"I said, I don't want to be a princess, I just want your child. If it's a girl, then I'll keep her in Elson, and she will be the Queen of Elson after me. If it's a boy, I'll take him Bring it back, but I'll come back to you a year later."
"You should also know that no matter what, I have to give birth to a girl."
She said without hesitation,
"I don't plan to find anyone else, the father of my child, only you are qualified to do it, after all..."
A loud shout interrupted the little princess.
"enough!"
Novi, who had just recovered from the shock, glared at Emma.
"Princess Elson, how dare you say such rude words to Your Majesty?!"
I didn't notice Novi at first, the little princess was startled by the angry reprimand, and when she saw the speaker, she frowned.
"Young kid, I'm talking to King Garland, why are you interrupting?"
Novi gave her a cold look.
"You are as old as I am."
The little princess raised her head proudly.
"According to Elson's custom, I'm an adult."
"I'm also a childish and rude guy when I'm an adult."
"Who are you talking about? So, men, even underage brats are all arrogant, arrogant, cowardly and incompetent guys."
The little princess curled her lips and met her eyebrows coldly.
Only halfway through, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly smiled at Garland.
"Except you~"
Garland: "..."
The young knight commander was already laughing in anger, and drew his sword with a clanging sound.
"Today you will become the defeated man of the cowardly and incompetent man you call!"
"Okay, underage kid, it seems that I have to let you know how powerful Elson's female warrior is."
The little princess fought each other and pulled out the slender dagger from her waist.
Seeing that a war between boys and girls is about to break out—
"stop!"
Garlan resolutely raised his hands in front of the two of them, preventing the battle of the century.
After giving each other a stern look, both of them reluctantly retracted their swords into their sheaths.
"Novi, as a knight, you shouldn't speak ill of a lady easily."
After teaching Novi, Garlan turned his head and looked at the little princess who looked at him expectantly.
"Emma, if I remember correctly, you Elson female warriors choose their children's fathers based on strength and strength, and they must be one-of-a-kind warriors, like Kaijos."
He tried hard to convince the little princess to give up on him.
"Look, I don't seem to meet your requirements..."
"Wisdom is also a kind of power, what other people think is other people's business, the powerful Elson female warrior is enough, and my child is the future queen, I think, rather than being strong, lead like you. The wisdom of people moving forward is more important.”
The little princess answered without hesitation.
"And my mother said that within ten years, I will definitely become the strongest Elson female warrior in history. Therefore, our child must have both my strength and your wisdom. In this way, she will definitely be able to Lead Elson to prosperity."
Saying so, her eyes lit up as she looked at Garlan.
It is completely different from the affectionate eyes of ordinary women looking at their loved ones, the eyes of Elson female warriors looking at their favorite men are always strong and sharp, full of aggression, as if caught in the jungle. The hunter of the prey he likes.
After all, for them, men are their prey.
Raising his hand to stop Novi who was about to come forward behind him, Garlan looked at Emma calmly.
He shook his head.
"Sorry, Emma, I can't agree."
"why?"
The little princess was still immersed in the fantasy of her future powerful and wise daughter leading Elson to prosperity, and when she heard this, she became anxious.
"I can't because I don't like you."
"Like it?" The little princess was stunned for a moment, then she laughed dumbly, "I don't like it if you don't like it, so do I."
She said nonchalantly, "Warrior Elson isn't going to like any man, we're just picking the best man to be our child."
"… shameless."
Although Garlan raised his hand to stop him and didn't speak, Novi, who couldn't listen, gritted his teeth and whispered.
But this time, the little princess was not angry, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Novi.
"That's how we Elsons live."
She said frankly,
"We don't need men, and we don't want to be entangled with so-called love. The ocean and the battlefield are the destination of our Elson female warriors."
The little princess looked too calm when she spoke, but it left Novi speechless.
He turned his head silently with a cold and handsome face.
"So, King Garland, it doesn't matter what you like, I just..."
Garland shook his head again.
"Sorry, Emma, I can't promise you because I don't want to have sex with someone I don't like or like me."
Although she didn't show the slightest bit of shyness when she talked about wanting a child, but when she really heard those words from the other party's mouth, the little princess still had a slightly uncomfortable look in her eyes, revealing a rare daughter's coquettish attitude.
That look flashed by, and Emma, who was rejected again, still tried her best to convince Garlan.
"But, I just want to..."
Just when she spoke, the little princess couldn't say what she said next.
Perhaps it was because the golden eyes staring at her calmly were too bright, and she saw her own shadow clearly reflected in them.
"Emma, I respect the way you Elsons live."
Garland said,
"So, you also have to respect my way of life."
He reached out and touched the little princess' brown curly hair.
It was like he gently stroked the little girl's head five years ago.
He said, "Okay?"
The little princess pursed her lips, unable to say why, she just suddenly felt a little wronged.
However, although there was grievance in her blue eyes like the ocean, she nodded obediently, just like she was a child a long time ago in front of the blond boy.
she thinks.
The person in front of him seems to have never changed.
Whether it is appearance or other, it is the same as the first meeting.
Time seems to have never passed on this man.
After a while, the little princess, who had finally passed her grievance, raised her head and looked at Garlan, still a little unwilling, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Then you... do you have someone you like and who likes you?"
As soon as she finished asking, she saw him startled.
Then, suddenly smiled.
The little princess was stunned.
She couldn't describe this feeling, but that smile made her lose her mind for a moment.
"Um."
She saw him smiling at her.
That smile is like the gentleness of the gentle breeze that gently sweeps past the lavender lotus blossoms in the night.
She heard him say, "Yes."
He said yes.
