Augurola curled her lips and said, "Sister, I personally accompany you shopping to relax, and you still have to look so gloomy? This is too disrespectful, isn't it? In the past, when my reputation was not so bad, people who wanted to pursue me would line up from Saint Tian'e Castle to Florence, just to see me."
Now she is in the form of a queen, with long cherry-like hair, a black and red dress that outlines her graceful and sexy figure, and a pair of black high boots that she bought on the spur of the moment.
As the skirt swayed, her snow-white and tight thighs were revealed, and her skin was as delicate as jade.
That stunning and charming face seemed lazy.
"Where did you learn to make such a scowling face?"
Li Xini couldn't help but complain: "Noren?"
Augurola hummed, lifted a strand of hair from her eyes, and replied, "Yes..."
"Don't learn from her."
Li Xini said calmly: "Were you very popular before?"
Augurola frowned, his eyes cold: "Are you questioning my appearance?"
"That's not the case. I just want to ask, is it really okay for you to wander around the streets of the royal capital openly like this? Won't you be recognized by others?" Li Xini frowned.
In fact, along the way, Augurola's appearance and figure attracted the attention of many people.
Those drunken men in the pub.
A polite gentleman aristocrat.
Even teenagers aged 14 or 15, who are still in adolescence, would cast astonished glances.
If Licinius had not been wearing the uniform of the Control Bureau, someone would have come over to chat with him.
"Don't you have me to protect me?" Augurola said with a smile.
Li Xini snorted: "Don't mock me, do you still need my protection?"
Augurola narrowed her beautiful eyes and teased, "Of course, you are the one who can bring down divine punishment. However, I am actually safer in this state, because not many people have seen my adult form, not even your majesty. Although she can recognize me as soon as I use magic."
Li Xini was stunned: "Those who are chasing you are all lolita lovers?"
"yes."
Augurola shrugged: "What do you like? A mature lady?"
Licinius hesitated for a moment and said, "I am just lustful."
Augurola was amused by him and laughed so hard that she covered her red lips.
In the past, she was in a high position, powerful and lonely.
No one has ever dared to tease him like this.
But Licinius was different, he dared to say anything.
"Thanks… "
Licinius suddenly said.
Augurola raised a thin eyebrow: "Thank you for what?"
“Every time I’m in trouble, you’re always there for me.”
Licinius said earnestly: "Thank you..."
He looked at the absolutely beautiful lady who was accompanying him, and felt a sense of warmth from the bottom of his heart.
Augurola was silent for a second, then a smile blossomed on her beautiful face. She suddenly took his arm affectionately, like a couple, and whispered in his ear: "So how are you going to thank me?"
Licinius thought about it carefully and replied, "I will buy you roasted sweet potatoes."
Augurola was startled.
Li Xini led her to the street. This was the sixth district of the royal capital. It was not very prosperous. Instead, it was a gathering place for the middle class and mostly civilians.
Back then, Licinius and Noren hung out on these streets.
There is an old man roasting sweet potatoes on the street. Today is Heroes' Memorial Day and people in the entire capital are partying, so there is not much business at the stall and it seems a bit depressed.
The old man didn't feel lonely at all, he was just playing with his little grandson.
"Grandpa Gray."
He walked over and greeted with a smile.
Old Gray put his grandson down, adjusted his reading glasses, looked at him carefully, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, isn't it little Licinius! You haven't been here for almost a year. I thought something happened to you. I kept asking around for news about you.
Charles comes here often, but he never mentions anything about you. Hey, did you bring a new girlfriend this time?"
He asked, "Where are Noren and Irena?"
What a new girlfriend.
Li Xini's eyes twitched: "Well, one of them is at home, and the other is still in school."
Augurola couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"That's great, I'm glad they're okay. I haven't seen them for a long time."
Old Gray said, "Speaking of which, your new girlfriend is really beautiful. You are worthy of being her. It's great to be young."
Augurola pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Thank you..."
The dignified Duke of Blood, the fearsome vampire queen in the world of warlocks.
No one could have imagined that she would be so friendly in such a small stall.
"Oh my God, little Licinius, you're in the Bureau!"
Old Gray was shocked when he saw the military uniform on the boy.
"Yeah, it was just a fluke."
Li Xini smiled slightly and chatted with him casually about some family matters.
Although Old Gray was a commoner and his family didn't have much money, fortunately his children had happy marriages.
She also gave birth to a little grandson who looks cute and smart.
"It's so late, are you hungry? I'll get you a..."
Old Gray suddenly thought of something and became embarrassed.
The other party is already a high-ranking official in the Control Bureau, and the girlfriend he brought with him is also elegant and of extraordinary family background.
I guess she doesn't think much of his junk.
"Grandpa Gray, please help me get a roasted sweet potato." Li Xini handed him two copper coins with a smile.
Old Gray was stunned for a moment, then he broke into a wrinkled smile, seeming to be very happy.
Take the copper coin and get him a baked sweet potato from the oven.
Licinius took it, thanked him, and patted his little grandson on the head.
After a few pleasantries, he said goodbye politely and left.
Old Gray looked at their backs with satisfaction and said with emotion: "It's great that the little brats back then have grown up so much. Little Licinius is so smart, will he become a person like Xiao in the future?"
He looked at his little grandson and said seriously: "You will become a hero in the future!"
Licinius had just taken two steps when he heard these words and stopped at Bengbu on the spot.
What the hell, I didn’t expect that I could be hit again here!
"What do you mean?" Augurola asked curiously.
Li Xini handed her the baked sweet potato and said seriously, "When I was in the most difficult time, I couldn't even afford to eat. At that time, I brought Norn to this street and bought magic resources for her at the Chamber of Commerce. In the end, I only had one copper coin left, and I couldn't even afford a baked sweet potato."
"But Grandpa Gray will give us a discount and only charge me one copper coin for three sweet potatoes."
He said, "But I only want one at a time, and I will share it with Norn."
After tonight, the Grey family will have the protection of both the Bureau and the Night Watch.
Although Licinius would not interfere in their lives.
But from now on, they will have no worries about food and clothing and live a peaceful life.
Augurola was silent for a moment.
She has been a queen since she was young and a genius among the vampire clan.
High above, respected.
Never experienced this kind of life.
She stretched out her slender white fingers, peeled off the skin of the baked sweet potato, and took a bite.
Then he showed a satisfied expression, very sweet.
"Don't you mind?" Licinius asked.
"Why do you dislike it?"
Augurola expressed his incomprehension: "It's delicious."
Li Xini smiled silently: "You ate the roasted sweet potatoes, so from now on, no matter what happens to you, I will protect you. No matter where you are or who the enemy is."
Augurola blinked her beautiful eyes and asked calmly, "Do you know who my enemy is?"
Licinius shook his head.
"Do you know what happened to the vampire clan?"
Licinius continued to shake his head.
"Do you know how powerful my future enemies will be?"
Licinius still shook his head.
Augurola asked with a half-smile, "Then how dare you promise that?"
Licinius said seriously: "It doesn't matter who the enemy is."
Augurola took another bite of the roasted sweet potato and asked as he walked, "Why?"
"Because you are very important to me."
Licinius looked at the starry night sky in the distance, and a hint of extremely obscure red-gold flashed in his eyes: "And I will never let anyone take anything away from me again."
Augurola was stunned.
It’s like suddenly seeing a little puppy saying to you seriously, I will protect you.
Licinius was much younger than her, so that gave her this feeling.
However, when he said this, there seemed to be a roar of thunder in his calm voice.
There is an inexplicable aura and shock.
"Can I take this as a confession?"
Augurola narrowed her beautiful eyes and teased, "You want to be my man?"
Licinius ignored her.
Augurola smiled with relief, ate the remaining roasted sweet potatoes, and licked her lips: "Okay, I'll remember that. But... you weren't the type to say that before."
Li Xini snorted and still didn't respond.
Augurola took his arm again and said affectionately, "Just now I was mistaken for your girlfriend, so I will continue to accompany you shopping as your girlfriend."
She saw what the boy was thinking.
The Valerius family gave him an unhappy and miserable childhood.
And tonight, he learned the truth that he had been used as a test subject by his family since he was born.
Maybe he was too lonely.
So I want to hold everything around me in my hands.
Li Xini hummed and followed her through the surging crowd and returned to Zebra Street.
In the night, brilliant fireworks sometimes bloom.
The people in the parade shouted Xiao's name.
There was also a group of children running past them laughing and being chased by the adults behind them.
