Chapter 67: First Kiss
Jacques felt that about a century had passed, and everything was still, and Lily's crying was suddenly far away, and suddenly in his ears.
His legs were a little numb, but his cheeks felt hot, like at a hot blacksmith's stove.
The heartbeat followed the rhythm of Lily's sobs.
No, it's two pounding heartbeats.
Finally Lily stopped crying, tears already wetting Jacques's chest through her shirt.
Lily said angrily: "Whoever told you to come at this time has been seen by you, and I hate it!"
Jacques thought to himself, then you got up, still lying on top of me, fat orange, you are running fast, what should I do?
"The emperor doesn't know, the book says this is the case, don't move, don't speak, uh, if it's wrong, don't blame the emperor. "Fat Orange has long slipped aside.
Jacques subconsciously hugged Lily tighter, and Lily buried her head deeper.
Eventually, Lily felt a little out of breath, and all she could smell of Jacques sweat in her slightly unobstructed nose. I wanted to look up and leave, but the ends of my hair hurt.
Lily burst into tears and laughed, "You...... Your brooch hooked my hair. Help me untie it. ”
Jacques held the rapier in one hand and awkwardly untied Lily's curls from the Mithril brooch with the other, and in order to see the connection between the hair and the brooch, Jacques lowered his head and gently sprayed a warm snort on Lily's face.
Lily lowered her head in embarrassment, allowing the dull Jacques to slowly loosen her hair.
When the hair was untied, Lily didn't know where she got the courage, put her hands on Jacques's cheeks, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him lightly on the lips.
That's it for Jacques's first kiss!
"It's hush money!" Lily laughed, and immediately ran away, jumping into the wide couch, her legs curled up in front of her chest, her hands clasped around her legs, and her face buried between her knees.
At this time, Jacques was like being electrocuted by Lily during training, and an electric current ran through his body, leaning against the wall in a daze.
Lily quietly raised her eyes, peeked at the stupid apprentice in a daze, and said, "Don't think about it, the hush money is all for you, this is my first kiss! Don't say anything when you go out for a while! What about the gift you gave me? I want to see it!"
Jacques walked up, handed his rapier in hand, and sat down on another couch, staring blankly at the opposite wall.
First kiss!
Lily took the exquisitely carved ivory scabbard, slowly drew the thin sword, and threw the silk scarf that had just been brought from Jacques's breast pocket into the air, the tip of the sword shook, and the silk scarf continued to fall slowly, and finally fell onto the coffee table before breaking in half.
"Good sharp sword, this is ...... You're mixed with Mithril!Did you do it??, when will you become a blacksmith?" Lily, who knelt on the couch without an image, asked one question after another.
Jacques came back to his senses and said, "I've been learning Mithril forging for months, and a friend of mine taught me a friend, so haven't I been taking time off a lot lately...... You've approved it, anyway, at the end of this semester, I won't have classes, and I'll be able to graduate early, just like you. ”
Lily almost jumped up from the couch: "You asked for leave, I thought you were contemplating the second system of source energy!
"It's Mithril forging, not iron, uh...... Although it's almost...... Can I graduate early? You see, in order to graduate early, I have bribed you with heavy gifts. "Is it bribing Jacques himself to know.
"No, I was able to graduate early because I became a plasticizer, and you didn't have the qualifications to graduate after taking all the courses. Unless ...... "Lily sells off."
Jacques was immediately fooled, and said, "Unless anything, my good master, speak quickly." ”
Lily smiled slyly and said, "Next September, in the next Misty Forest Challenge, if your minority alliance can get the top ten, I will be responsible for convincing Dean Hardy to let you graduate a year and a half early." In the fourth year of the next semester, you can arrange all the time on your own, and find a teammate to prepare for the Misty Forest Challenge in the fifth grade. I also graduated early after the challenge, so you can't graduate earlier than me!"
"Okay, I promise, I heard Fabian say that I have to prepare my own expenses for the competition, I will win glory for the academy, can I be reimbursed?" Jacques felt that the money that should not have been spent, if it could not be spent, it would not be spent.
Lily waved the Mithril Rapier in her hand and said with a smile: "There are so many Mithril, at least a pound of Mithril was used to build the sword, and you have to be reimbursed for being so rich?"
Jacques stopped and continued to fight: "One yard is one yard, I am willing to forge a sword for you, I didn't take the initiative to participate, I shouldn't pay this money!
The fat orange squatting on the cabinet shook his head, "Young man, why did you say it casually, how does the emperor usually train you, you are a life-saving question." ”
After receiving the warning from Fat Orange, Jacques was about to say something to redeem it, when he saw Lily bury her head between her knees again, and her tone sank, and she said, "I'm getting engaged!"
Jacques was shocked again, his heart skipped several beats, and he struggled to say between his teeth: "And Robert Baptiste?"
Lily rested her chin on her knee, two lines of tears sliding from the corners of her eyes, and said:
"I'm 21 years old today, and I've been in this marriage contract for three years, and I thought I was good enough to not have to listen to their arrangements, or Robert went to Rand to become an adjutant and couldn't look down on me, the niece of the earl, and still have no inheritance.
But...... But who knows, my uncle made a deal with him, and now I have to marry him. I sold it to the Baptiste family like a traded cargo......!
Jacques got up and sat down beside Lily, reached out and took the sword in her hand, put it aside, and said, "It's just an engagement now, right? Let's think of a way together to see if we can get the Earl's Court to give up this marriage, what is your father's opinion?"
Lily cried and said: "My father has always respected my ideas before, but the whole family is putting pressure on him, and my father can't help them with his uncle, who said that the marriage between our two families is an alliance representing the five southern cities, not only the matter of our two families, but also the decision of the southern aristocratic circle." Of course, my father did not dare to refuse. I'm not a grandmaster...... Woohoo......"
Jacques's eyes, which were originally a little depressed, lit up and asked, "What will happen to the Grandmaster?"
Lily choked up: "If I can become a grandmaster, I can choose to accept the royal conscription to join the legion, I become a member of the legion, the worldly marriage is meaningless, and they don't dare to embarrass my father for this, the legion will protect us." ”
"If you announce your engagement today, when will you get married?" Jacques asked.
Lily replied, "I think it will be two years at most, and Robert also said that he is very busy, and he has not had time to get married for at least more than a year." But I've heard that he has ...... illegitimate children Woohoo......"
"Two years, you're 23 years old, well......" Jacques mused, "Maybe I have a way." ”
Lily looked at the boy who was six years younger than him with sparkling eyes, and asked excitedly, "What can I do?"
Jacques said, "Although I can't make you a grandmaster in two years, I ...... I know two people, they are both 18 years old and 23 years old to become a grandmaster, I think they have a way to speed up the progress of becoming a grandmaster, and you became a sculptor at the age of 17, maybe even more talented than them. ”
Lily put her arms around Jacques's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and said happily, "My stupid apprentice!
That's right, since being able to summon War Mayak, the nickname has changed from "Chaos Kid" to "Wonder Kid".
"Then I'll go and ask them, now you wash your face and make up for your makeup, let's go to the ball, or everyone will be looking for you everywhere." ”
