I don’t know what he went through. Eating my discarded skin may be a way to save food, but it still makes me feel like I’m being targeted by a crazy person.
The whole restaurant suddenly became quiet. The Ghost King and Queen stopped talking and just looked at their children quietly. It was as satisfying and exciting as quietly watching a toddler walking towards them step by step.
After the ghost prince ate my skin, he picked up a potato and began to quietly and carefully peel off the skin on it, then silently put it on my dinner plate.
I blinked and looked at him stiffly: "Thank you... thank you..."
Maybe he thought it would be better for him to eat if he peeled the skin himself, so he simply peeled it for me.
He still didn't speak, but took back his hand and continued to peel a potato for me.
I looked back and felt weird...
Doesn't he like others touching his things? Such people probably don't like to touch things that others have touched, let alone eat the leftover skin.
"Xiaobing, you haven't had a good visit to our royal capital yet. You can accompany the queen for a walk later..."
"I'm sorry." I interrupted the big ghost king, "I just occupied Margaery's area, and I didn't clear out all her old subordinates. Among the remaining leaders of the area, they are also watching. They may Waiting for an opportunity. Although Nibis is imprisoned, his spaceship is still parked outside my area, so my area is still full of dangers. I have no intention to dress up or wear a skirt for the time being... "
Suddenly, the ghost prince tightened his grip on my wrist, interrupting my words with such force. When I wanted to shake him off, I saw the somewhat disappointed face of the queen opposite me when I raised my face.
When I saw her lonely look, something struck my heart.
I, Luo Bing, can deal with strong people. I will fight back hard when I encounter strong people. But I really can't face the lost look of a lonely mother.
The ghost prince slowly released his grip on my wrist. I blinked and turned my face sideways: "I... am also a queen now. I seem... I really don't have many decent queen's clothes. I will be in trouble later." The Queen, help me...select a few..."
"Okay." The queen immediately became happy and looked at me with a smile, "I'm very happy that Xiaobing can entrust me with this matter."
"Then... business..." I frowned uncomfortably and looked at the Great Ghost King. The Great Ghost King also looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that he didn't want to spoil the Queen's mood. I lowered my voice, "When shall we talk?"
"Ahem." The Ghost King coughed and looked at the Queen lovingly, "After you pick out clothes for Xiao Bing, I will discuss the next business with Xiao Bing."
The queen smiled and nodded: "I won't delay you from talking about business."
Sigh... Suddenly I felt like I was a little rude just now.
I still remember that in the morning, the queen didn't want the ghost king and ghost prince to leave her, and her lonely back. She just wanted to find someone to talk to, and live the kind of life between ordinary women, like sisters.
That's why she likes to prepare formal dresses for everyone.
Because I have been fighting and pretending to be a boy, my nerves have been tense, which keeps me in a state of war preparedness. I have completely left the soft parts of women in the corner, which made me feel a little awkward when I wanted to pick them up today.
After being a man for too long, I forget how to be a woman and lose the softness and sensitivity of a woman.
I should have noticed the queen's frustration first. I used to be a person who was very sensitive to other people's emotions, but now I have been in the war for too long and seen too many corpses, and I am somewhat numb to other people's emotional changes.
In the end, she only talked about the war with the Great Ghost King and rejected the Great Ghost King's request with a very stiff attitude, which made the queen, a gentle woman, fall into embarrassment and loss.
There were already two peeled potatoes on the plate in front of him, with a fine sprinkle of salt on the edge. When I was talking to the Great Ghost King and Queen, the Ghost Prince had silently done so many things for me. He was a gentleman and a strange person. A person who doesn't pay attention to anyone else, yet takes such good care of me.
I may be a little pretentious in saying this, but I have clearly felt the difference between him and others, and what he did for me was extremely natural, as if an old friend was accompanying me and taking care of me.
I turned to look at him. He was eating sweet potatoes quietly by himself. His long gray hair fell down to the side of his face, making it impossible for you to see his face clearly. However, the hair was really dry and dull, like an old man in his fifties. .
I looked down bit by bit, and now that I was sitting so close, the feeling of familiarity became even stronger. I wanted to see through those hair strands to see the face covered by the mask. I had a strong feeling that he knew me.
The waiter served the eggs, and the queen picked one up and put it in front of me: "Xiao Bing, eat."
I looked away at the ghost prince and took the egg handed over by the queen: "Thank you, queen."
"You're welcome, Xiaobing. We are family here." The queen's gentle words made me start to look at the eggs in a daze.
In this ruthless Eogei clan, there is a gentle woman like the queen. I don’t want to displease the queen, because the people who always talked about my family to me later betrayed me...
My heart is getting colder and colder without even realizing it. The innocent Luo Bing, who always believed in others and was always kind to others, no longer knew which pile of corpses I had thrown into it.
I... don't like myself now...
Moreover, I don’t think the Great Ghost King has the same feelings for people as the Queen. If he was gentle and kind, he would not let the Eclipse Ghost tribe force slaves into high-radiation areas to collect blue crystal energy, and let the miners die in pain from the radiation. .
"Xiao Bing, what's wrong?" the queen asked worriedly.
I really want to say please put away your hypocrisy. I know that you are treating me well now just to make me the North Star in your husband's hands.
However, I held back. The innocent Luo Bing, who I had abandoned for so long, was telling me that the queen is different from the ghost king. She really cares about you. She is a gentle and good queen. She may She didn't know what the Great Ghost King was doing outside. Maybe she also regarded those people as the Eclipse Ghost Clan and had no sympathy for them.
I smiled lightly and shook my head: "It's nothing, it's just that no one has told me that we are family for a long time." I raised my face and looked at the queen with a smile.
The queen became quiet across the table, and her eyes in the mask showed a trace of pity and affection. She stretched out her hand and held my hand holding the egg. Her hand was warm and soft: "If you are willing, we I can be your family, A-Yun can be your..."
Ah Yun? Could it be the name of the ghost prince next to me
Because I was slightly absent-minded, I had no time to stop the queen. When I was worried about what she said about her husband, I only heard her spit out two words: "Brother."
"Brother?" I was a little surprised. It was the kind of embarrassment and surprise that everyone told the Great Ghost King that he wanted to marry you, but in the end he ended up being your brother.
