"Your Highness, this is just a lowly commoner trying to gain benefits by slandering me." Rist said hastily.
He was very anxious now, for fear that His Highness would investigate the cub's life experience on a whim.
"Hmm...!" Sophia gritted her teeth, knowing that His Royal Highness could save her child, she immediately wanted to tell the truth, but her mouth was covered by the guards of the Perry family.
Ymir glanced at them indifferently, and found that the hairball in his arms was getting hotter and hotter. He knew that he couldn't drag it any longer, so he said to the subordinates behind him: "Look at that person first, I'll come when the time comes." deal with."
When he saw the fur ball in the woman's arms on the first day of the celebration, he subconsciously paid more attention to it, and couldn't help thinking about how comfortable it would be if he hugged it.
Obviously, he had seen many cubs of the Celestial Clan before this, but he never had such an idea.
At that time, he didn't think too much about it, but when the fur ball rolled in front of him today, he felt a little throbbing in his heart, and a desire for exclusive possession that had never appeared before.
He didn't want anyone else to see the furball in front of him with him.
Thinking of this, Ymir hugged the fur ball a little tighter.
Rist's expression became more and more difficult to look at. If he knew this, he should have kicked these two out in the first place. If it affected his image in His Highness's heart, it might have an impact on his position.
And Ymir walked into the deepest part of the temple with the fur ball in his arms. This is a place that only members of the royal family can enter, and other subordinates are guarding outside.
Although Rist really wanted to go in and check the situation, he had no choice but to wait outside anxiously because of his lack of identity. Moreover, he had to explain the current situation to Dolores at this time.
It is impossible to hide the fact that there is an illegitimate child outside, but Riester thinks it is enough to put all the responsibility on Sophia, she is just a small family woman who insists on getting involved, and she should recognize her identity in the first place.
After this incident is over, he will definitely kill this woman directly.
—
The ground of the temple is paved with beautiful holy cloud stone, which looks like clouds floating on the water. There are tall columns all around, and a high dome can be seen when you look up, and in the deepest direction is the lifelike statue of the goddess of light, full of holy breath.
The surroundings were full of priests, and they saluted respectfully after seeing Ymir.
Ymir came to the statue with the fur ball in his arms, placed the cub on the couch with soft cushions, and looked at the other priests, "Let's begin."
The leading priest looked over in astonishment, "Your Highness, are you going to hold the ceremony yourself?"
The cubs of the Celestial Clan can transform into form for the first time after they have enough strength, but this usually requires outsiders to guide them, and everyone will choose someone with high morals or high status.
His Royal Highness Ymir has such a cold temperament, it is really rare that he wants to guide this cub himself this time.
If the cub's talent is good, with such a start, the future is bright.
While Shao Ci was in a daze, he felt more bright elements rushing into his body, and he felt supported while being warm all over his body... and this uncomfortable feeling deepened even more.
After all, the fur ball is much smaller than when he first wore it, so it's normal that it can't absorb so much power.
Then a hand covered his body, Shao Ci only felt a burst of cold breath rushing into his body, he immediately felt a lot more comfortable, but then a dull pain came from all parts of his body.
Shao Ci was very familiar with this feeling, it was like this when he first took human form. I am already very proficient in transforming with that body, but this is the first time to transform this body. It is extremely uncomfortable and difficult to end in a short time.
Shao Ci was about to struggle, but that hand kept stroking him gently, sending strength in and relieving the discomfort in his body.
I don't know how long it took, but this difficult process was finally over. Shao Ci was covered in cold sweat. When he opened his eyes, he saw the person in front of him.
Under the shining of the holy light, the person in front of him was like a god, the long silver hair seemed to emit a faint light, the extremely beautiful face was expressionless, and the silver eyes were quietly staring at him.
It was His Royal Highness Ymir.
Compared with this His Highness, the other Celestial Clans who originally looked tall and noble were a little more mediocre, and looked like ordinary people.
Only such people can be called the real Celestial Clan. After all, the Celestial Clan is the closest to the gods in the legend.
Shao Ci was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was about to sit up, only to realize that he was still eight or nine years old.
With such a body, it is impossible to use any particularly advanced magic.
Shao Ci was a little confused. When he was outside just now, although he was very uncomfortable, he also vaguely heard what that Rist said.
This is obviously a super scumbag, and this time, he might still bear a grudge against their mother and son. If he doesn't have the strength to protect himself, it will be troublesome.
No, the first thing he has to think about now is how to gain Ymir's favor, right
Shao Ci then turned his head to look at Ymir, because he hadn't spoken for a long time, he was not used to it, and said with difficulty: "Your Highness..."
Ymir stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, but his expression still didn't change a bit, which made Shao Ci feel very uneasy.
At this time, the priest on the side picked up a piece of clothing and handed it over. Originally, he wanted to help Shao Ci put it on, but Ymir said indifferently: "Let me do it."
"Your Highness Ymir, this..." The priests were stunned for a moment, and then handed the clothes to Ymir respectfully.
No matter what His Royal Highness Ymir thinks, they can't influence each other's decision.
You must know that His Royal Highness Ymir is not only the honorable next heir to the throne, but also has an extremely rich bloodline that has been rarely seen in a thousand years, and is even close to a demigod. Even the goddess of light showed a phantom when she was born and sent blessings .
Now only fourteen years old, His Royal Highness Ymir already has a terrifying power that other people cannot see through. Use it.
It's just that His Royal Highness Ymir has been very indifferent since he was a child, and he has no extra feelings for his biological parents, and he has never been interested in toys or pastimes. It seems that only becoming stronger is what he pursues.
That's why everyone was so shocked by what was happening now.
Ymir unfolded the clothes, and although it was the first time, he put them on for Shao Ci as if he had done it countless times, and then put Shao Ci on the ground in his arms.
Shao Ci stood on the ground, because this body was transformed into a human form for the first time, so he couldn't use much strength, so he staggered and fell to the ground after walking a few steps.
The ground is very hard, Shao Ci's knees hit it and there was a tingling pain immediately, this body is too fragile, and can't bear any pain, even though the system has blocked the pain, Shao Ci's tears still fall down down.
Ymir leaned down and helped Shao Ci up, was startled when he saw his tears, and comforted him a little stiffly: "Don't cry."
Shao Ci didn't want to cry at first, so he held back immediately... He still doesn't know why Ymir saved him, if the other party's favorability decreases, it will be troublesome.
Ymir gently wiped Shao Ci's tears away, and then stretched out his hand to press Shao Ci's broken knee. After a flash of light, the knee injury recovered.
Shao Ci was a little surprised, it's too good to be able to do this in only a teenager, but considering that the opponent has the highest force value among a group of people, Shao Ci feels quite normal.
Then Shao Ci felt that his body had no strength, and immediately changed back to the appearance of a fur ball.
The priests next to him frowned. They could see that His Royal Highness Ymir liked this Celestial Cub very much, but this cub's talent was too low.
I have never seen anyone who can only last for such a short time after transforming into a human form for the first time, even the least talented commoner of the Celestial Clan can last for less than half a day.
After all, it takes strength to transform into a human form, and how long the strength can be preserved in the body proves the potential of this Celestial Clan.
The young master of the Perry family who has the most talent recently has persisted for two days, and there is still no sign of changing back.
It can be said that this is the first time in hundreds of years that Shao Ci has changed back to a hairball after only a few minutes.
Ymir didn't care about this, he just thought it would be easier to hug him when he turned back into a furball, so he hugged him in his arms, stretched out his hand and gently stroked him.
The priest said: "Your Highness Ymir, if the cub who has just transformed into a human form doesn't practice walking, it will be even more difficult to learn in the future... Do you want to let him transform into a human form now?"
Ymir remembered how uncomfortable this ball of fur had been for so long when it became a human, subconsciously he didn't want him to be in such pain, so he said lightly: "I will teach him in the future."
It doesn't matter even if the other party can't learn it all the time, as long as he hugs him is enough.
The priest was shocked. As a person who has served in the temple for decades, it can be said that he grew up watching His Royal Highness Ymir, and he has never seen him care so much about anyone.
But this time His Royal Highness Ymir has repeatedly done shocking things for this cub. The only thing that makes people regret is that the talent of this cub is really bad. Servants are despised.
Ymir left the hall with the fur ball in his arms, and Liszt, who was outside, hurried forward and frowned again when he saw Shao Ci in Ymir's arms.
Can't even maintain a human form for such a short period of time? Sure enough, his decision not to have this child was right, which was a shame in his life.
"Your Highness, the child is fine now." Rist tried his best to look kindly, and said, "Let him go back to his mother."
Ymir said lightly: "I have my own arrangements." Then he walked directly outside.
Rist looked at His Highness's back in astonishment, but began to calculate in his heart. It seems that His Highness seems to be very interested in that child, which may not be a bad thing...
Maybe this piece of junk might still come in handy.
—
Sophia looked at the incomparably noble silver-haired Celestial Clan in front of her, and said gratefully: "Your Highness, thank you very much, without you, I really don't know what to do."
She really did not expect that this extremely honorable Highness was willing to help her.
Originally, when Rist said those words, she even wanted to tell all about the past desperately... Sophia originally didn't want to face her own past at all.
Fortunately, it's all over now.
However, the other party held the fur ball in his arms, and had no intention of returning it to her.
Sophia more or less realized something, and looked at the Highness in astonishment, "Your Highness?"
Could it be that the other party wants to keep this child by his side
Adopt a Celestial Clan and train them to become effective subordinates in the future. Many nobles do this.
The Celestial Clan is different from other people. They will choose young cubs as their subordinates, and then make a contract with them. Such subordinates are not only very loyal, but also get part of the power of the contracted object.
People like His Royal Highness Ymir are usually recruited by nobles, but he actually chose Shao Ci.
Others might wonder why His Highness would choose such a child with no talent, but Sophia would not. She always believed that her child was the best in the world.
This is something that countless people dream of. Sophia was in a daze for a while, wondering if she was dreaming.
"You are the daughter of the head of the Carter family who was kicked out many years ago, right?" Ymir said slowly, holding the sleeping fur ball in his arms.
"Yes, I am indeed from the Carter family." Sophia bit her lower lip, she was a little afraid that her identity would affect the child's future.
The Carter family is just a small nameless family, and she has been kicked out for so many years, it should be difficult to investigate, but the other party's status is so noble, it is indeed easy to investigate.
"I can allow you to return to the Carter family, and even give you a higher status." Ymir said: "The price is to leave here from now on, and never recognize this child again."
Ymir didn't think that what he said was too much, he just proposed a deal.
It was the first time he had feelings for someone, so he naturally wanted to take the other person completely as his own, and this woman in front of him was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.
If others must be overjoyed and agree, it's just wishful thinking to get rid of such a burden and get benefits.
Sophia fell into hesitation.
After all, if such subordinates have relatives, it will definitely be more troublesome, and a mother like herself will indeed embarrass the child... But she still wants to watch the child grow up with her own eyes.
Seeing this, Ymir said: "You want higher conditions?"
"No." Sophia immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, I don't need to recognize this child, but please let me stay here, it doesn't matter if I just look at it from a distance..."
Ymir looked at her, he didn't quite understand what the other person was thinking, so he nodded and asked his subordinates to take Sophia away.
Seeing Sophia leaving, Ymir picked up the fur ball in his arms, lowered his head and kissed it, and said softly, "From now on, you will be mine."
...
…
When she finally left, Sophia still felt unreal. That His Highness actually agreed to her rude request, His Highness agreed to her, and he would be able to meet the child every celebration day. And also provided her with a residence in Wangcheng.
Everything seems to be going well.
This is a place only the nobles can afford to live in.
Then Sophia came to the residence in a carriage. This is the most central part of the island, and it is more luxurious than the outside places. Even when she was a nobleman, she never came here.
And looking up, you can see many buildings suspended in the air, and the highest point is the silver palace.
The guard led her to a nearby residence.
It's not very big here, but it's enough for Sophia to live alone, no matter how big she is, she doesn't know what to do.
Sophia was determined to find some work, after all, she couldn't go on doing nothing like this, but after she entered the door, she found that there was already a person inside.
Looking at the female Celestial Clan with long silver hair in front of her, she was startled, and said, "Master Dolores?"
—
In just a few days, most people knew that His Royal Highness Ymir actually brought a commoner cub back to the palace.
Although it was later revealed that the cub was the child of Rist of the Perry family, it was said that it was not recognized by Rister because of his poor talent.
Everyone was very jealous, envious and hated, wondering why their children didn't get that kind of treatment.
However, most people felt that the future of the cub must not be very good. After all, the talent is so unbearable, and His Highness is only raising it now because he is bored, and he will naturally abandon it when he gets bored in the future.
In the palace.
Because of the high altitude, it is very cold here.
It doesn't matter to the adult Celestial Clan, but the body of the Celestial Cub cubs is very fragile, so Shao Ci enjoyed the treatment of being wrapped in a fur quilt as soon as he came here.
This seems to be made of extremely precious Warcraft fur, very warm.
Because of the strong relationship between the light elements in the palace, Shao Ci changed into a human form not long after he arrived.
Even with thick new clothes, Shao Ci still had a fever and was extremely uncomfortable lying on the bed.
He used to think that his body was very unbearable when he just crossed, but now that he thinks about it, he was not bad at that time, but now he is really weak!
Ymir sat beside Shao Ci, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Shao Ci's. After feeling the scorching heat, he frowned slightly, held Shao Ci's hand, and whispered to the servants beside him: : "Bring the holy water sent by the angel on the last birthday."
The servant looked over in astonishment, but he didn't dare to resist, his heart was like a stormy sea.
Ordinary holy water is just spring water that has been illuminated by the holy light of the Goddess of Light. Although it is useful, there is no miraculous effect.
But this holy water from His Royal Highness Ymir was bestowed by the Goddess of Light, and its preciousness can thicken the blood of ordinary Celestial Clans.
I don't know how many Celestial Clans want this spring water, and even auctioned it for a sky-high price outside, but His Highness only wants to give such a waste, which is really a waste.
Soon the holy water in the crystal bottle was brought over, and Ymir wanted to feed it to Shao Ci, but found that Shao Ci had been burnt to the point of losing consciousness, and he might not be able to drink it by himself.
After a little hesitation, Ymir took the holy water into his mouth, bowed his head and fed it to the other party.
Shao Ci opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the long silver hair close at hand. Ymir seemed to have been watching him for a long time, but he didn't show any expression when he woke up. He just said: "It's okay it is good."
Shao Ci couldn't figure out Ymir's character, so he sat cautiously.
Seeing that Shao Ci didn't get close to him, Emil was a little bit disappointed, but remembering that Shao Ci hadn't eaten anything yet, he sent someone to bring the life fruit wine of the elves.
This is a fruit wine made from the dew dripping from the elves' tree of life and the fruit of life. It is extremely precious, and humans can even prolong their lives if they drink it.
It's just that the relationship between elves and humans is very tense, and it's basically impossible for humans to get it. It's much better here in Tianzu, but it's also considered a luxury.
Shao Ci had almost recovered after drinking the holy water, but after drinking this fruit wine, he felt extremely energetic instantly, and he was even healthier than before he fell ill.
But Ymir couldn't let go, and let Shao Ci lie on the bed for several days.
The past few days are simply the happiest days for Shao Ci. There are all kinds of delicacies to eat every day, which is much better than what he eats in the human race. The bad thing about feeding one is that you don't have much freedom when you stay in bed.
Moreover, Shao Ci has also gotten a little understanding of Ymir's character in the past few days. Although he looks very cold, he is actually a pretty good person.
At night, the system issued another task for Shao Ci to kiss each other.
At first Shao Ci felt cheated when he saw such a task, but now he feels normal... So many things have happened.
Shao Ci rejoiced that his body was still that of a child, and when he was about to sleep, he leaned over and kissed Ymir's delicate and perfect cheek, "Good night, Your Highness."
Next, Ymir turned his head awkwardly, "Take a good rest."
Shao Ci: "..." Shao Ci, who had met so many targets for bereavement strategies, was actually a little moved for a while.
However, after the illness was cured, troublesome things came.
The first thing is to learn to walk.
Shao Ci thinks that walking is not difficult, and it's not like he hasn't walked before.
However, Shao Ci couldn't control life and death with this body. Every time he felt that his body had no strength, and he couldn't control his center of gravity well. He would fall down after walking a few steps.
Shao Ci was shocked. Has this body become useless to such an extent...
[Actually, it is caused by the host's too strong mental power, but it's actually not that bad.]It's better to say that it's actually a genius level...
Shao Ci: "..." So it's such a bloody routine again.
In order to practice Shao Ci, soft carpets were laid on the ground.
But Shao Ci still scratches occasionally, and then Ymir will treat Shao Ci.
If he could walk a few more steps, although the other party's expression was still indifferent, he would be happy to get a lot of delicious food for Shao Ci.
In fact, this is not bad, after all, Ymir did not force Shao Ci to learn anything immediately.
The most troublesome thing is when you are studying.
Ymir prepared a bunch of books, and Shao Ci was shocked when the first book was spread out. This is actually a history book of the Celestial Clan, and it is densely packed with the past histories of various Celestial Clans... If it wasn’t for the systematic cheating , Shao Ci couldn't understand a single word.
But even if he understood these words, he still felt terrible.
Is it really okay to learn such things as soon as you come up? Don't you generally start with the simplest words to learn!
Or is it that the Celestial Clan are all so powerful so it doesn't matter
In fact, it was because Ymir himself was born with a photographic memory, and he hadn't had much contact with others, so he thought that everyone was like this.
Therefore, Ymir thought that it was no problem to learn such content, and stipulated that Shao Ci should be recited in full.
Shao Ci was stunned at the time, and after reading it all afternoon, he only read a dozen pages... There is too much content in one page.
Just looking at it makes my head feel big, and I have to recite it, how can this be done!
...
…
In the dining room, Ymir was sitting on the main seat, and his sitting posture was also very elegant, with two pairs of wings hanging behind him, looking extremely holy, just being by his side would defile the other party's feelings.
Everyone knows that a demigod like His Royal Highness Ymir does not need to eat. His body is already perfect, and he can completely maintain his usual life by relying on light elements.
Therefore, this is the first time His Royal Highness Ymir has come to the restaurant in the past few years.
But there are countless delicacies piled on the table, in addition to the original food of the Celestial Clan, there are also special delicacies from places such as the Dwarves, Mermaid, Elf, etc. Just looking at it makes people salivate.
And Shao Ci sat in Ymir's arms, looking at the food in pain.
"Recite all the lessons learned today, and you can eat." Ymir said.
How could Shao Ci recite it, and looked at Ymir with teary eyes, "But... I'm so hungry."
Ymir looked indifferent.
Shao Ci had no choice but to grit his teeth.
After doing the mission a few days ago, he almost understood how to deal with Ymir, but he really didn't want to use it before, and now he can't help it.
Shao Ci leaned over and kissed Ymir's cheek.
Ymir's cheeks turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye. He turned his head and said in a low voice, "...you can eat it if you want."
Shao Ci: "!" Sure enough, using this method to deal with Ymir is useful! The only downside is that his integrity is gone, but that doesn't matter at all.
