When Daphne woke up, the room was already dark. He raised his eyelids and looked out the window. It was already dark outside, thinking that it was night time.
My eyes are still a little sore and swollen. I think after crying a lot, I fell asleep again, and my eyes are still a little sore and uncomfortable. Daphne woke up from the dream, still a little confused, took a deep breath, only to wake up a little, and subconsciously wanted to sit up.
But as soon as he moved, he immediately noticed that he was still holding something tightly in his arms...
Looking sideways again, this time, Daphne almost exclaimed.
Fortunately, the exclaimed voice only rushed to her mouth and was forcibly suppressed by her, but in the darkness, that pretty face was instantly blushing.
At this moment, his posture is really too embarrassing.
I was lying on the bed, but my body was curled up into a ball, leaning tightly against the side of the bed and facing out, and the one that was hugged tightly in the arms was the arm of that Xia Ya, and the thick arm was hugging him. In his arms, there seems to be a faint sense of security and dependence. The body, even his own body, is tightly next to each other.
What made Daphne blush even more was that her own head was almost resting on Char's thigh.
Immediately, her heart jumped up and down, and Daphne felt her throat dry, and for a moment, she was a little dazed. She didn't know if she was dreaming... But whether she was awake or in a dream, she Such a gesture and such intimate contact with that person are greatly inappropriate.
Fortunately, Daphne took a deep look at Xi Ya and found that although he woke up, this guy still had his eyes closed. Xia Ya's breathing was even, her body was leaning on the chair, her mouth was slightly open, as if she was still snoring softly. It's just that his sitting posture is a little uncomfortable: his body is leaning on the back of the chair, but he can't lean on it safely, and he has to stretch out his arms to hold him. Such an awkward posture must be a sleepless night. Be comfortable.
(He... He just slept like this all day, just here with me, watching over me? Just in this uncomfortable position, in order to let me hold his arm, he endured such a long time... )
For a time, such a thought suddenly flew out of his heart, which made Daphne's heart soften rapidly.
She tried to let go of Xia Ya's arm, but the two were too close together, and Daphne was worried that if he moved, Xia Ya would wake up... Such a shy posture, if you fell asleep, you wouldn't know what to do. That's all, but if the two of them are like this when they wake up, then they really can't be human in the future. I'm afraid that in front of this Xia Ya, he can't even lift his head up.
What made Daphne's face fever even more was that she could clearly feel it, because she held Xi Ya's arms in her arms and held them so tightly that she could feel the soft and fullness of her chest. , is sticking tightly to the other's arm...
This kind of taste made Daphne feel a little dizzy for a while, which was something she had never experienced in her life!
Suddenly a bold thought came into my mind:
If... If... If I continue to sleep with my eyes closed, then I can continue to maintain this posture... This way I feel at ease and dependable...
The thought that suddenly popped out of his mind stunned Daphne himself. Immediately, she reminded herself fiercely that she was extremely ashamed by this thought.
Daphne! What are you thinking about! Remember who you are! You are the queen, you are the man with a husband! Your every move affects the honor of the Minas family, how can you have such a shameless thought! Don't forget, this man, he is your best friend's fiancé! He... he's not your man! no! !
However, this kind of feeling is really comfortable, such a strong arm, held in my arms, seems to have a support, such a strong person, guarding me by my side, even when I fall asleep, I will It feels so safe...
For some reason, I suddenly remembered the day when Xia Ya returned triumphantly, under the gate of Denzel City, with such high spirits, with such an arrogant attitude, he held Adeline in his arms, and then used that The heroic tone seems to declare to the whole world: she is my woman! !
Never... never a man who did all this to himself, never... never...
In the battle between heaven and man in his heart, Daphne didn't know whether he should let go of his hand, but subconsciously, like an instinctive subconscious action, he held the arm in his arms even tighter.
Finally, just when Daphne's heart was about to jump out of her throat, a voice that almost suffocated her sounded in the darkness.
"What's wrong? Had a nightmare?"
This is Char's voice!
As soon as he heard this voice, Daphne immediately screamed, and quickly dropped Xi Ya's arm, his heartbeat almost stopped at this moment.
Xiaya retracted her arm and touched her chin in embarrassment.
In fact, he didn't sleep deeply. With his cultivation level, even in his sleep, as long as there was a little movement around him, he would have woken up long ago.
It didn't take long for Daphne to wake up, and Xiaya felt it, and Tu Turtle was also a little embarrassed. Even if he was such a carefree person, he understood that such a posture was probably a bit inappropriate.
But Daphne was holding his arm tighter and tighter, but Char felt it. He knew that the woman had woken up, but in this case, let the girl speak first - throw the pressure and responsibility away For women, this is not Char Ya's style, so he chose to take the initiative to speak.
"No, no..." After screaming, Daphne spoke quickly, but unfortunately he spoke too fast, or because he was too nervous, he almost choked on his own saliva, and coughed desperately while covering his chest.
Xia Ya didn't say anything, but stood up, brought a glass of water to the bed and handed it over: "Don't worry, take a sip and drink it slowly."
After hesitating for a while, taking the cup, Daphne took a big mouthful, and then gradually calmed down.
"Are you hungry?" Xia Ya's voice sounded extraordinarily gentle in the dark room - this might be an illusion in Daphne's mind, but she really felt that way at the moment.
Daphne didn't answer, and Char gave a wry smile: "You haven't eaten during the day, and I heard that people will be very hungry after crying a lot. You've been sleeping for so long, and you must be hungry. ."
With that said, Xia Ya turned around and left the room.
Watching Xia Ya leave, the room was empty... At this time, Daphne suddenly felt a panic in his heart, as if his heart seemed to become empty all of a sudden as the man left...
Fortunately, this panic didn't last long, and soon Daphne heard the footsteps that reassured her.
Xia Ya came in again from the door, holding a candle in one hand and a plate in the other, with a few snacks in it.
"It's too late. There's no fire in the kitchen, so I only got a few snacks. You can make do with some." Xia Ya put the candle on the table, then walked to the bedside, and stretched out her hand naturally. When he got to Daphne's back, he helped her up in this half-holding position.
Xia Ya is purely a habitual movement. He also regarded this woman as a state of weakness after being poisoned during the day, but Daphne had recovered a lot of strength after a sleep, but Xia Ya's hand hugged it. At that time, Daphne couldn't have the slightest idea of resistance in his heart anyway, as if he was so stupid, obedient, let this man hug him and sit up, and then let his body rest on his shoulders , Most of his body seems to be leaning on the other's arms.
The dessert had been delivered to his mouth, and he heard the man in a gentle voice: "Take a bite, slow down."
With a blank mind, Daphne opened his mouth obediently and took a bite.
The dim sum was cold and tasted average.
But Daphne felt that it seemed that all the desserts he had eaten in his life were not as sweet as the cold and dry dessert on his lips!
It was just such a small bite, and before you knew it, a few pieces of snacks on the plate entered Daphne's stomach. Daphne didn't move until it was all eaten, and Xiaya had to smile bitterly: "Sorry... no, I didn't expect you to eat so much."
"Ah!" Daphne woke up with a start, and his face was blushing again: "I, how much do I eat?"
"Well, a lot." Xia Ya laughed: "Will you continue to sleep? It's still early before dawn, so you can't eat too much. If you eat too much to sleep, your stomach will hurt."
If it is normal, a beautiful girl like Daphne attaches great importance to her appearance and figure, she naturally knows that she can't eat before going to bed, otherwise, it is more than a stomachache? That will make the lower abdomen give birth to the flesh!
Girls are more important to their body and appearance than life. If it is normal, Daphne will not eat any more food an hour before going to bed.
But today, leaning on Xia Ya's arms... Not to mention the few pieces of snacks that Xia Ya brought, even if Xia Ya brought another plate, she would obediently eat them all.
"I... I don't want to sleep." Daphne whispered. It's just that even she herself felt that her tone was like a murmur.
"Well, if you don't want to sleep, let's talk, just... don't cry anymore." Xia Ya smiled: "Now it's dark and blind, everyone is sleeping, only the guards are outside, if you are big here Crying, others heard it and thought I was bullying you in your room in the middle of the night, hehe..."
Daphne's face was on fire at the words. Fortunately, the candles in this room were dim, so this guy shouldn't be able to see clearly - she comforted herself in her heart.
After taking a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressing the anxiety and distractions in his heart, Daphne whispered as much as possible in his calmest tone: "Xia Ya... Today's matter, can you... "
"Today? What's going on today?" Xiaya seemed to be at a loss.
"Today... the thing I cried in front of you..." Daphne's head almost dropped to his chest.
"Ahaha..." Xia Ya scratched his hair and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
"You'd better forget it." Daphne deliberately made a cold tone.
"Forget it..." Xiaya seemed to think for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, no, I will never forget it."
"You!" Daphne was a little anxious.
"What are you?" Xia Ya said sternly: "You are my friend, you have so much pain and trouble in your heart, how can I turn a blind eye, and if I hear it, I really forget it? That's too much It's dishonest. In short, I won't care about this matter."
"You... what are you going to do?!" Daphne was a little annoyed.
"..." Xiaya just looked at Daphne and didn't speak.
Daphne suddenly didn't know where the evil fire came from, and he blurted out and asked loudly, "Are you going to keep me in Denzel City forever?! Or are you just like that Hughes, you fancy my appearance? , you want to take me as your own?!"
Daphne regretted it immediately after the words were spoken.
She herself didn't know what was wrong with herself. On weekdays, I can keep calm and calm, and look like a graceful, noble and reserved appearance, but I don't know why tonight, in front of this man, my mind just can't calm down, a little word or two will make it tickled. Emotional, and speechless.
"Actually..." Xia Ya was not angry, but sat down, sitting on the chair beside the bed, looking at Daphne, with a soft tone: "You are a very beautiful woman, you are very smart, and you have a good temperament. Very kind, if it weren't for the unfortunate things you encountered... Well, it can only be said that your luck is not good enough, it cannot be said that it must be your destiny. Well... I believe, there must be many in this world Many men will really love you and want to take you as their own, hehe."
"What about you? Do you want to!"
Another thoughtless word.
As soon as the words came out, Daphne almost wanted to crawl into the bed.
Xia Ya was not embarrassed at all, and smiled calmly: "I'm also a normal man, a normal man, whoever sees you will think so." Having said this, he paused: "If it weren't for me having a pitiful worm, Maybe I will, hahahaha.”
These words were bold, but the tone was calm, but instead, Daphne felt the openness of the other party. This guy really didn't have any evil thoughts about his son.
"You... love Adeline, don't you?"
"Of course!" Xia Ya nodded immediately: "In this world, she is the person I love the most!"
"I know." Daphne said quietly: "For her, you threw everything away and went to Wildfire to chase her back, and for her, you even dared to face God Emperor Odin..."
Daphne's heart suddenly gave birth to a kind of jealousy that even she herself was afraid of!
The thought made her panic.
"In short, you can rest assured that the things you are afraid of will not happen." Xia Ya's tone was serious, with a strong confidence: "Although I am not very good at it now, I still ask myself if I can protect a woman. You can do it. You can feel at ease with me. That little emperor doesn't dare to do anything to you. And don't worry, even if he does send someone to pick you up, I dare to beat the people he sent all the way back to Austria. Sigiriya's."
"I believe that your current power can do this." Daphne said quietly: "You are the general of the garrison, you have the land and population of several counties, and tens of thousands of troops. It can even be said that his throne can be Whether you sit firmly depends on your face. But, but…”
"But what?" Xia Ya smiled.
(But are you doing this just out of pity for me?!)
Daphne sighed inwardly, but did not dare to say it.
Yes, pity, it should be just pity.
Otherwise what else could it be for? He... He loves Adeline, the "poor bastard" he said in his mouth. When he mentions Adeline's name, his eyes light up!
What am I? At most, I'm just a miserable woman whom he looks at so pitiful, and he's out of pity, just help me...
"My family..." Daphne wanted to insist.
"Fuck the shit family." Xia said lightly: "What is a family? The meaning of family should be to love each other, support each other, and make family members live better! If the family exists, it's just painful, Let people accept the tragic fate endlessly, then let the shit family you mentioned go to hell!" Xia looked at Daphne's face: "I know your brother, that guy Roddy is a good person. , I believe that if it were him, he would definitely not be willing to let you take on these."
Seeing that Daphne was still a little hesitant, Xiaya smiled: "Also, the situation is different. In the past, your family needed to marry the royal family to protect themselves, but now... Hmph, the royal family can't protect itself, I I thought to myself, even if you don't go back, the emperor will not dare to do anything to your father and brother. He is alone now, and the most feared thing should be the influence of General Adric in the army. In order to balance, he said Maybe he will have more respect for your father and use your father's influence in the military. So, you don't have to worry about affecting your family. "
Having said that, Xia Ya frowned and said: "But it is this one that makes me very puzzled. It stands to reason that the emperor's situation now requires more effort to win over your family, but why does he insist on coming to you? to death…”
As he said that, he looked up at Daphne: "The first time I saw you, at that hunting meeting, by the lake, the person who assassinated you should also be..."
"Yes. It's the one he sent." Daphne didn't want to hide it at this time.
"Why?" Xia Ya smiled bitterly: "Even if he doesn't like you, he likes men, but... why do you have to die? It's not bad for him to keep you around as a pretense... "
"Because of me..." Daphne's face was suddenly flushed with shame, but he gritted his teeth bitterly: "Because, I... I saw some ugly things about him! He... I saw his most ugliest appearance, The most shameful thing I know, he, although he looks very stable, he is actually very extreme, so he must kill me, I live a day, he will worry about me taking him Those shameful scandals spread out, so with his identity and status, he will become the laughing stock of everyone! He is an emperor, and naturally he will not allow me to continue to exist in this world! "
"A scandal? What scandal?" Xia Ya became very curious.
"You... don't ask. In short, in a word, it is... very, very shameful..." Daphne blushed, seemed to mention this topic, a little disgusting, but more of a shyness.
Xia Ya's heart was vaguely clear: "Could it be that he was with some kind of male pet... You bumped into it... "
Daphne gritted his teeth, and under the pressure of Xi Ya, he had to reveal a little: "You... you should add a word."
"What word?"
"Men." Daphne whispered: "The male pet... we..."
my day!
The Turtle spit fiercely.
Favorites... you? !
Could it be that this rabbit not only likes men, but also likes groups...
Just imagine a bunch of men stripped naked and entangled together... Xia almost vomited out the overnight meal.
"that's it?"
"And... and everything else..." Daphne looked unspeakable: "Can you stop asking? I, when I think of those scenes, I feel disgusted."
Isn't it just the group... there are other more popular ones
Xia Ya shook his head, this little emperor seems to have a strong taste...
The two just chatted for a while. After all, Daphne was still a little weak, and after talking for a long time, she became a little tired, and her eyelids began to fight, but she refused to sleep here, and she refused to show tired appearance. Thought: If he falls asleep again now, he will leave!
After all, it is impossible for him to stay here all the time. If he shows sleepiness, he will definitely leave!
Reluctant to let Xia leave, Daphne forcibly supported her spirit, but she was tired, and her body was too weak, so she couldn't support it. After a while, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and unconsciously, He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
This sleep was very sweet.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Daphne woke up. She opened her eyes and saw that the room was already bright. She immediately panicked and quickly looked around, looking for Xi Ya's figure.
As expected, where is that man still in the room
For a time, Daphne couldn't help but go crazy, his heart was empty, as if something was missing.
Looking at the ceiling, the woman's heart did not know what she was thinking at the moment.
(Well, last night, he seemed to have said something to me, how did that say come about... Well, yes, he said, to live for myself. Yes, he told me to live for myself And live, don't think about other things... just live for yourself... )
Live for yourself
※※※
In fact, Xiaya left much later than Daphne thought.
He also left the room after it was almost dawn. After going out, he didn't leave Daphne's residence immediately, but took the guard to patrol around again, and ate something by himself.
By the time it was dawn, Xiaya had already decided that Daphne could not continue to live here. For safety, she should take her to live in his garrison. After all, his garrison was much better in terms of security. .
After being busy for a while, I got time to rest, and Dora's deliberate smile came into my mind.
"Hey hey hey... Little Turtle, I can't see it, you really have two strokes! Hahahaha..."
"Hmph, what do you have to say, don't be so yin and yang, what is your mother dragon doing?"
"Yi? Didn't you notice it yourself?" Dora's voice was a little surprised, and then the mother dragon smiled: "Boy, you have caused a lot of trouble, don't you know it yourself?"
"Trouble? What trouble? I have a lot of trouble, and I'm no longer in debt."
"Hahahaha... You'll know soon, my cute little turtle... You'll know soon... I tell you, women, are the biggest troubles in the world... You'll know soon!"
※※※
Daphne was escorted to live in Char's garrison, and happened to be with Adeline.
Adeline was very nervous about the assassination of Daphne, and showed great concern for her good sister.
However, Daphne's attitude towards the poor man was much colder than before... Or, she felt a little guilty in her heart, as if she didn't know what attitude she should take to face this good sister.
Could it be that he told her that he had unreasonable thoughts about her man
(God! Am I really an evil bad woman?)
The poor man didn't care too much about Daphne's suddenly indifferent attitude. Probably in her opinion, it was just an abnormal behavior of Daphne after being frightened by the assassination.
But all of this has nothing to do with Xia Ya for the time being.
Char started a clean-up operation in Denzel City!
The guy Hawke took office as a public security officer in Denzel City. Although this guy was not careful enough, he had a vigorous energy. After only two or three days in office, he took the soldiers of the public security office to rampage in the city. , and sure enough, many spies and spies of various forces were captured.
In fact, the difficulty of this matter is not as big as imagined. After all, Denzel City is a small city with a small population. It is not as difficult as imagined to find the foreign and unfamiliar faces of those spies.
After a little interrogation, Xia Ya was really eye-opening. Obviously, as a rising figure in the mainland, he has been targeted by various forces.
What even made Xia laugh or cry was that among the spies who were caught, there were actually those from the Besta Military Region.
Seeing the face of the beautiful governor's wife, Char released all the spies from the Besta Military Region and sent them back. By the way, he also wrote a letter to the governor's wife, which revealed a little dissatisfaction and threat. If the governor's wife didn't want to offend her deeply, she should be more restrained in her actions in the future.
A few days later, something big happened in the garrison.
The door to the backyard was finally opened.
Obviously, Merlin's torture of poor Dodoro has finally come to an end.
Our Archmage Todoro finally survived in Merlin's hands with a tenacious vitality comparable to a cockroach, and appeared in front of Xia with a brand new look!
