Princess Joni back in St. Padres
Although he knew that such a day would come before he entered the Holy Court, he did not expect this day to come so quickly.
"You owe her money?" Hydein stared at him.
"No."
"That's the feeling," he said with certainty.
Dilling's face was embarrassed, and the volume increased slightly, "Of course not."
"Your eyes are flickering." Hyde narrowed his eyes halfway, as if beguiling him to be honest.
Dilling tilted his head back, "Teacher, I thought you would not be interested in such nonsense as you are." He specially emphasized the pronunciation of "you" and "nonsense".
"You?" Hyde was half-smiling, "Isn't it you?"
Dilling reflected on it, and found that he did indeed often use "you" to address each other, and quickly said, "It also shows my respect for you."
Heidein said: "Oh?"
Dilling's face was firm.
Hydein turned his head to look in the direction of the main entrance of the Holy Court, "Calculate the time, that Joni should be here soon."
Strong wind blows.
He squinted, and the person standing beside him disappeared, leaving only a few fallen leaves that were rolled up in the air.
Really not
A thought flashed across Hydein's eyes.
The door slammed open and slammed shut.
Suso and Raymond, who were leaning against each other to read the comics, raised their heads at the same time, staring blankly at Di Lin, who was standing by the door with a pale face and panting.
"Are you... alright?" Seeing him in such a state of embarrassment, Raymond was a little ashamed. I knew earlier that I shouldn't force him to ask.
Dilling wiped his face with his hand, and his expression returned to normal, "Running too fast."
"What did Teacher Hydein say?" Raymond looked at him expectantly.
Dilling shrugged, "He didn't say anything."
Raymond made a little gesture, "Really didn't say a word?"
"He said a lot of words, but he didn't say a word on the key issue."
Raymond was disappointed.
Dilling sat absent-mindedly on the bed, still thinking about Princess Joni's return to St. Pades.
Soso slid off Raymond's bed and threw himself beside him, shaking his fingers gently in front of him.
Dilling laughed and said, "Are you afraid I'm blind?"
"Had Hyde bullied you because of his mentor?" Suosuo looked worried. Ever since he saw Heidein's education method by the lake that time, he has always been worried about Dilling's safety.
"No." Dilling hesitated, but still told the truth, "Princess Joni is here."
Soso's eyes widened, "Are you here to get married?"
Dilling was embarrassed.
Raymond is most sensitive to this kind of thing, and immediately pricked up his ears and said, "Is Princess Joni the Princess Joni from Shaman Lille?"
Dilling nodded.
Ruimeng's eyes glowed, "You want to marry her?"
Dilling quickly denied: "Of course not."
Raymond thought about it and said, "However, she should be older than you, right?"
Cable said: "Two years older."
Raymond suddenly put away his jokes and whispered: "Is it a marriage?"
Dilling looked up at him. This usually carefree teenager always inadvertently showed his calmness and rationality.
Rui Meng sighed: "I heard that Princess Joni is not only a noble, but also a rare beauty in the mainland. Even if it is a marriage, it is a very beautiful marriage!"
Dilling: "..." It's a pity that his sanity lasted too short!
Suosuo opened her eyes wide and said with concern, "Are you really going to marry her?"
Dilling said weakly: "I never said that. In fact, I don't know her purpose." Logically speaking, she should still be thinking about it behind closed doors.
Seeing his doubts, Raymond jumped out of bed suddenly, put on his shoes neatly, and shouted while rushing out, "I'll go and find out."
Dilling was so curious in his heart, of course he wouldn't stop it.
About an hour later, Raymond came back. His whole face was flushed when he came in, and he obviously ran in a hurry, "I know how she got here."
Since he left until now, Soso and Dilling have been waiting quietly. So hearing him say that, Suoso immediately asked, "How did you get here?"
Raymond smiled teasingly, "Of course it came by boat."
Suoso didn't notice his teasing, but suddenly said: "It turns out to be the same as us."
Seeing that his joke did not have the expected effect, Raymond coughed dryly and said, "She is expressing her condolences on behalf of Shaman Lille."
Dilling rolled his eyes and guessed the excuse Princess Joni used, "Because of the Nightmare Forest?"
Although the resurrection of the Nightmare Forest only involved the junior college, the incident was so loud that it must have already spread to the intermediate college and the senior college, and it was only a matter of time before all the countries in Shaman Lille knew about it. But I didn't expect Princess Joni to think of using this to go back to the academy so quickly.
Raymond said: "Yes."
Dilling breathed a sigh of relief. If she just wanted to go back to St. Pardes, she shouldn't have much to do with him. After all, they now belong to the junior college and the intermediate college. And there is another advantage of her coming, that is, her power will not harass him again.
"But," Rui Meng changed his words, "I heard that she will go back after only three days."
Di Lin was stunned, "Only three days? Was it decided by the academy?"
Raymond shook his head and said, "Princess Joni just went to see the dean, and hasn't come out yet. Her attendant said to stay for three days."
"Her attendant?" Di Lin jumped up and said, "What's your name?"
"Justin."
Dilling pulled Soso and ran out.
Justin is very famous in Sharman Lille, and in a different way than Dilling. He does not have such a prominent background as Dilling, but comes from a humble town in Shaman Lille. He caused a sensation in Shaman Riel because at the age of nineteen, he defeated the then chief guard of the palace, the guy known as the first knight of Shaman Riel, in the ridicule of everyone.
Dilling had a very good relationship with him, and the two used to practice swordsmanship together. At least half of Dilling's current swordsmanship comes from his teaching. The relationship between the two can be said to be both teachers and friends.
Although Dilling didn't want to see Princess Joni, he felt that the encounter with Princess Joni was not so bad compared to missing him.
Finding Justin is easy.
Princess Jonny is seeing the Headmaster, so he must be guarding nearby.
So Dilling met him at the gate of the dean's office smoothly.
"Dilling?" Justin was also surprised to see him, "How did you know I was here?"
Dilling smiled smugly: "Isn't it because you broke into my territory?"
Justin laughed and said: "It seems that you have a good time here. But I still feel pity that you didn't choose Saint-Sauveur."
"At least I have no regrets so far." Dilling smiled.
As a knight, Justin highly recommends the mainland's first knight academy, which is also his alma mater, the Saint-Sauveur Academy of Glory. They had argued several times, but ultimately ended with Dilling's insistence. But judging from his current expression, it is obvious that he is still haunted by this matter.
"Okay. My great magician." He said, his eyes finally moved to Soso, who was standing beside him. The original smile was much lighter, and he greeted calmly: "Long time no see, Your Highness Soso."
Soso was a little overwhelmed, "Hello. Justin." He had found out that the other party didn't like him a long time ago, and he never concealed his dislike.
Di Lin seemed to be accustomed to the alienation between the two, and did not take it to heart. He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Is the princess here because of Nightmare Forest?" Although he used a question, his eyes were clear. Do not believe.
Justin didn't intend to deceive him, "This is just one of them."
Dilling waited for him to go on.
"The other purpose of the princess is to see you." Justin looked at him fixedly.
Dilling's heart skipped a beat, and there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes, "But you're not..."
Justin's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "This is the princess' will."
Dilling frowned.
He strongly opposed the marriage with Princess Joni because he did not want to get involved in the court battle of Shaman Lille, and because he knew very well that this proud and excellent young man was more suitable for the princess than himself. At least he has a heart.
Dilling didn't think he could catch up to him one day.
When Justin saw Dilling's silence for a long time, his face sank immediately, "It's your honor."
"Although it is an honor..." But he really has no desire to intervene in other people's feelings. Dilling looked at his serious, almost solemn expression, and a series of refusals choked in his throat.
"Although it's an honor?" Justin frowned, "Do you want to refuse?"
Since this marriage has never been formally put on the table, Dilling has always "rejected" in a roundabout and subtle way. Maybe not so obvious, but he didn't think Princess Joni didn't know. But if she's going to put it on the table like this, he must have a better solution.
"The reason?" Justin took his silence as a default.
Although his expression was calm, Dilling clearly felt the aggressive aura emanating from him.
"I have someone I like." Dilling said sternly. As a young man who has never thought about this aspect, it is embarrassing and shy to admit that he has someone he likes, even if it is a matter of rights and interests.
"A person you like?" Justin's eyes flashed and he looked at Soso subconsciously.
Suso was caught in the fog by the conversation between the two, and looked at Di Lin curiously: "Who do you like?"
Justin's eyes followed.
Dilling secretly took a breath. Justin saw Soso's gaze just now, and he must not push Soso out, it would bring him a lot of trouble. He moved his lips, shook his head and said, "I can't tell."
Justin's eyes were burning, "Is it impossible to say, or there is no such person?"
Dilling calmly met his inquiring eyes, "Do you think it's necessary for me to lie?"
Justin blurted out, "You don't want me to..." Reason quickly stopped him.
The three did not speak at the same time.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Michelle, who had been ignored all the time, suddenly said, "Would you like a cup of coffee?"
The three looked over together.
Michelle said: "I think you may need to add some water."
Di Lin politely declined: "Thank you for your hospitality, but I don't need it for the time being."
Michelle shrugged indifferently and returned to her transparent state.
Justin was silent for a while, and said, "You go back and think about it. I don't think this is the real answer."
Facing his clear and penetrating gaze, the lie that had just built up in Di Lin's mind collapsed.
