Section 9 The Friendship of the Princess
Princess Shannie had taken Harry and Kiru to a restaurant in the backyard of the palace, and the three of them asked for a private room, and the princess's two bodyguards stood guard at the 'door'.
"It seems that the two of you are coming to the imperial capital for the first time, and I wonder if you want to live in the imperial capital permanently?" asked for some dishes and snacks, Princess Xianni asked tentatively, although it sounded like she was asking the two of them, her eyes looked at Kiru.
"Ah...... I...... I'm coming with Harry, and it's up to him to stay there. Seeing the princess staring at him, Kiru stammered briefly, but quickly calmed down.
"Are you two brothers? It looks like you're on good terms, but you don't look like that!" said the princess with a soft smile on her face.
"No, Harry has been kind to me, so I volunteered to be his 'squire' knight. Kiru replied honestly.
"Oh?" said Princess Shanny, visibly surprised, "I've only heard of a subordinate being a 'squire' knight for his master, or a husband and wife being each other's 'acolyte' for a knight. You seem to ......"
"Not exactly. Harry reluctantly 'interjected' and said, this Kiru, except for the combat aspect, is really stupid. "Actually, we were good brothers, although we weren't biological. I can't help it if he wants to be a 'squire' knight, and besides, a 'squire' knight may not be able to let his brother do it. ”
"Hehe, it's not like Kiru thinks anything about you, does it?" It seems that this princess is not as pure as she looks, and there is a wicked smile on her lips when she says this, it seems that she does not mind that Kiru is Harry's 'squire' knight.
"Who knows?!" Harry looked indifferent, "Anyway, as long as I keep my guard, Kiru won't stand a chance." Please rest assured that the princess will be able to do this!"
Princess Senny was 'made' by Harry's big red face, to be honest, from the beginning of seeing Kiru a little curious, to later when he was frightened, he suddenly saw Kiru majesticly and saved the children on the stage, although he would not be in any danger at the time, but if these children were hurt because of his own reasons, it was really more sad than being injured. And although this shy boy is not as funny and natural as Harry, it can be seen from his determined face that he must be a responsible man. Therefore, I seem to really have a good impression of him and want to get to know him.
"As for whether or not to live in the imperial capital, I haven't decided yet. Harry continued, "But Kiru doesn't have to follow me! he's always dreamed of joining the Knights, and the princess happens to be here today, so why don't you trouble the princess to go through the back door and get him in." His skills are not blown by me, and he is definitely no worse than any knight!"
"Ahh "As your 'squire' knight, how can you be separated from Harry......"
"Stop!" Harry cut off Kiru and pouted, "Are you going to follow me for the rest of your life? I don't want to have an extra light bulb next to me when I'm with Ling'er in the future!"
"What does that mean?" asked Princess Shanny, curiously.
"What about this light bulb! That's an allusion, a couple in the room, and the man said to the 'woman', let me kiss it. The woman shook her head. The man said, "Let me give me a hug." The 'female' still shook her head. The man got angry and asked, "Why?" the woman whispered back, and I was shy. The man is strange, and there are no outsiders here, what are you afraid of?" The woman said, pointing to the light bulb above her head, and it was still on. Harry said and looked at Kiru and the princess, who seemed to be at a loss and smiled evilly, "Do you think I'm here now, like a light bulb?"
"Go!" Princess Shannie finally understood, glaring at Harry, then shyly at Kiru and lowering her head. Kiru also understood, and smirked twice with a red face.
However, the princess was quite generous, and after a while she raised her head and said, "If Kiru wants to join the Knights, I can't do it with my connections alone. But I can recommend it to my father. ”
"It doesn't matter, although it's the back 'door', but we also eat according to our ability. Harry patted Kiru on the shoulder and boasted, "Don't look at Kiru's youth, ordinary knights are not his opponents! ”
"Harry, I'm in the Knights, what are you going to do?!" Kiru was anxious, as if Harry wanted him to dump him in the imperial capital. If a knight fails to fulfill his oath, it is the greatest disgrace.
"Are you my opponent?" asked Harry with a glare.
"No...... No. ”
"Do you have to listen to me, then?"
"Yes!"
"So, in that case, you're still obedient?" Harry asked.
"This ......" Kiru was embarrassed.
"Actually, I asked you to go to the Knights to let you perform your duties better!" Harry explained solemnly, "As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do, and when you are in charge of the military power in the Knights, many things can help me!"
"Hey, Harry, are you just talking about ganging in front of the princess?" but Shannie didn't show any displeasure, and still had a smile on her face.
"Is there a princess here?" Harry pretended to look around, "why didn't I see that!"
"Hee-hee!" said Sunny, happily, "Yes, there is no princess here, only Sunny!"
"Little Senny, then you don't want Childe to come and go, just call me Harry, call him Kirul!" Harry also saw that Shanny didn't like to put on the princess's shelf, so he took the opportunity to get close to the way.
"Ki... Lu, if you really want to join the Knights, I'll go to my father to discuss, with your ability, there should still be a great chance. Shanni asked expectantly.
"I ......" To be honest, it was indeed Kiru's dream to join the Royal Knights before he met Harry, but he hesitated a little when he thought that he had already taken the oath.
"You, you fart!" Harry couldn't stand it anymore, it seemed that he couldn't untie the knot in Kiru's heart, but he was afraid that he would be wronged by his status as a 'squire' knight for the rest of his life. Kiru is an eagle that must not be buried in his own hands, and what Harry needs is an iron brother who is kind-hearted, not a servant who only promises.
"Kiru, you see, I don't like your attitude that you always have (to be continued, if you want to know what is going on, please log in ., mobile users log in to ap., chapters and chapters, please log in to 16k Literature Network to read!) owe me my life, I need a brother, a close friend! If you continue to look at my relationship like this, then I will only avoid you from afar. I'm also lonely, and I also need friends, except for Ling'er who is far away in Jifen, I only have a brother like you who is the closest!"
"Harry......" Kiru listened with some sentimentality.
"Actually, from the first time I met you, I felt that our experiences were very similar, you lost your parents, but I had parents who couldn't see each other. And at first sight of you, I had a very intimate feeling, but then your attitude of repaying the benefactor made me very uncomfortable, so I threw you to Spalding. ”
"And, though you swore to be my 'squire' knight, that doesn't mean you're inferior to me. I'm not a knight, I don't know anything about knightly duties or anything like that. But since you Kiru are my good brother and good friend, then it is only natural that I will help you, protect you, and care for you. Actually, I'm also doing what a 'squire' knight should do. In that case, do we still repay each other with gratitude?" said Harry, who also seemed to be 'excited'. Since he had been on the run, Harry had rarely confided in him like this.
"I see!" Kiru didn't say much, his eyes flashed with determination, and he stepped forward and hugged Harry, "Good brother!"
"Don't eat my tofu!" Harry returned to his usual appearance in a blink of an eye, frowning and screaming, pushing Kiru away, "The 'meat' is numb!"
From now on, Kiru has finally put himself in the right position. The remaining estrangement between him and Harry finally disappeared, and the heart of gratitude was gone, and all that was left was a strong brotherhood. Such a relationship is stronger and more indestructible than that of a 'squire' knight!
"Hmm......" Xianni listened to the sidelines, her eyes welling up with tears, and she said with some envy, "You guys are so nice, but I can't find a friend......
"Huh, how so?" asked Harry, curiously.
"Although there are many people in the palace who are my age, none of them are true friends. They were all keen to compare and show off to each other, and as a princess, everyone had a sense of fear of me and didn't dare to get close to me. It's not like Harry, who not only calls me by my name, but also dares to joke with me. Since I was a child, no one dared to get close to me, I have always been very lonely in the palace, one of my two brothers was born seriously ill, and the other was more than 10 years older than me, since I was sensible, he helped my father deal with political affairs, and he had no time to accompany me. Although my parents love me, there is no one among my peers. Speaking of this, Xianni's expression was a little sad, "Once, my mother went out of the palace to take me to a nursery school, I was lost alone, but I met many children of the same age, that day, was the happiest for me, although when I went back, I 'made' all my clothes dirty, hehe!"
"But since that time, I haven't had a chance to see them. So when I grow up, I especially like to visit the children in the nursery, although they are no longer the friends they used to be, but when I am with the children, I feel their happiness and innocence, and I will become very happy!"
"Sometimes, I think that being an ordinary person might be a lot happier!" said Shanny.
"Not necessarily!" Harry shook his head, "Ordinary people have the troubles of ordinary people, although they may not be alone, but they have their own troubles, maybe they still envy you!"
"Maybe, I'm in the midst of a blessing and I don't know how to be blessed!" Senny was lost for a while, but quickly recovered.
"Actually, as long as you have the heart to look for it, your friends will still find it!" Harry smiled slightly, "Not everyone cares about your princess status, such as the two in front of you!"
"Really!" Channy exclaimed happily, "Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I'm afraid that you will take care of my identity, and I think Kiru seems to be a little afraid of me." ”
"I prove that he is not afraid of you because of who you are!" Harry defended Kiru.
"Why is that? Am I horrible?" said Shannie, sticking out her tongue mischievously.
"I dare to pack the ticket, Kiru will have this reaction in front of any beautiful, kind, and lovely 'girl' like you. Harry quipped.
"Yes!" Sunny blinked at Kiru, as if she wanted to be confirmed.
"I ......" Kiru scratched his head, but since Harry took the lead, he did have a good impression of the princess, and it was rare that the princess did not have a fight, and immediately replied: "If the princess doesn't dislike it, we will be friends in the future." ”
"You still call me Princess, and they say they don't care who I am! Shanny said unhappily.
"Immortal...... ......"Kiru stammered, he always felt weird about calling a 'girl' name like that.
"Look at you're nervous! Do you call other people's names the same?" Shanny didn't really care, and since she said it, she was much more generous in her words, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, Shanny, don't embarrass him. Now I'm officially announcing that from now on, Kiru will be your boyfriend! Well, I'm your good friend. Harry grinned, and secretly thought to himself: I have 'made' friends with the princess, so presumably in the future, when the identity of the wanted criminal is discovered, someone will take care of it, if Kiru and the princess can do good things, won't they also follow suit?
However, Harry didn't get close to the princess purely because of the benefits, the main thing was that Shanny was indeed a friend worth 'making'. If it is the kind of noble lady who is pampered and arrogant, I am afraid that Harry will not bother to pay attention, how can he deliberately make 'friends'!
"Huh, is there any difference between a boyfriend and a good friend, aren't you a man, Harry?" said Shanny, with a curious look on her face.
"Of course, there is a difference, you can only have one boyfriend at most! Harry shook his head in explanation.
"Harry, what are you doing badly?" Kiru calmed down, and as soon as he heard Harry, he knew that Harry must have made fun of him again.
"Look at what you said, how can such a kind person as me be bad!"
"Hehe! I'm really happy today, with you two friends, I can play with you when I leave the palace in the future!I'm not alone anymore!" Xianni cheered happily.
"Of course no problem!" Harry said with an exaggerated expression, "The princess is covering us, so why don't we go sideways in the imperial capital!"
"So Harry, you have bad intentions!" said Shanny, squeamishing with her teeth and claws.
"Hmph, you're already on the thief ship! Do you still want to go down! From now on, we'll be the Imperial Three!" Harry announced proudly.
After dinner, Xianni needed to go back to the palace, and the three of them had to say goodbye for a while.
"Kiru, I will try my best to ask my father for permission to enter the Knights, but I may still need to pass some tests, because even my father can't arrange people to enter casually, but you are so strong, I think it must be fine. "Senny seems to have been thinking about 'getting' Kiru a place for the Order, and reassures Kiru of her farewell. If Kiru becomes a member of the Knights, he can see Kiru often, which can be regarded as a little 'selfishness' of Shanny.
"Why don't you just get a position as a squad leader?" said Harry, greedily.
"Harry, don't talk nonsense, any knight who enters the knights starts with a reserve knight, if the strength is strong enough, he can become an official knight soon, but if you want to be promoted to the captain of the knights, strength alone is not enough, you must also have enough merit. Kiru explained.
"So troublesome?" Harry thought for a moment and said to Shanny, "In that case, then Shannie, don't mention it to your father just yet." Anyway, we're going to stay in the imperial capital for a while, and you'll be able to help out when we need it. "What's the use of going in and being a reserve knight, if you don't have merit, wouldn't you just be a little knight for the rest of your life?
"Why did Harry suddenly change your mind? Didn't you say that Kiru's dream was to become a member of the Knights?" Shanny looked at Harry strangely, "It's great for Kiru to be a knight of the Knights at such a young age. There are no weaklings in the Order! ”
"I haven't changed my mind, but it might be better to bring it up later......" Harry thought of the vial of dragon's blood.
"Yes, then I won't 'interfere' for the time being! Hehe, but if you need any help, you can tell me, my father still spoils me very much. Shanny showed off a little.
"Okay! Thank you, Xianni! It's the first time you've come to the imperial capital, so you'd better take us to play first. "Counting the days, there are still more than ten days before the appointed date, and with the free guide of Xianni, how can you not have a lot of fun.
"yes! I wonder if the Knights can visit it. "Kiru still has a griffon rider in mind.
"That's not going to happen, the Knights aren't the place to play. Shanny gave Kiru a blank look, "When you become a member of the Knights, you can visit as much as you want!"
"Don't worry, Kiru, I promise to let you enter the Order smoothly. Maybe you can also 'mess' with a captain. "As long as you find out the person who issued the dragon blood mission, maybe it is His Majesty the Emperor, then a few requests should not be a problem.
"I'd love to see how Harry, why can you make Kiru the captain of the Knights!"
For many days, the three of them were almost inseparable during the day, and Xianni didn't 'want' the bodyguards to disturb her play, so she followed them from a distance, and she jumped up and down to take Kiru and them on a tour of the imperial capital. I have to say that Princess Xianni is still quite eye-catching, and many aristocratic officials in the imperial capital were surprised to find that the usually quiet little princess actually has a lively side, and the identities of the two young people who followed her also caused everyone to speculate, could it be that the son of the Grand Duke stationed abroad came to the imperial capital?
Several aristocratic sons who knew the truth did not move for the time being, and it seems that the descendants of politicians have also inherited some calmness, knowing that they plan and then act, before the identities of the two young boys are unknown, they do not want to act rashly, so as not to provoke people who should not be provoked. Moreover, these days, the rumors that Harry and Kiru are the Grand Duke of So-and-so have not stopped, and they have also made them jealous.
However, Hans, who had been sent to Spalding to investigate, soon brought back the news.
