'Then there must have been someone you like, right?' The princess then asked.

I nodded shyly.

'How many?'

'Strictly two....'

'Who are they?'

'Can you not say that?'

Well, as far as the two of us know, what are you afraid of? Could it be that the other party is a married man!?'

'Hey!' I yelled a little angrily.

'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just kidding, don't mind...' I really didn't expect the princess, who is usually calm and composed, to have such an unreliable side. I looked at her helplessly, and then talked about the old days.

'Probably when I was fifteen years old, our master and apprentice were doing business with another group of mercenaries, and there was a girl in there, a year older than me, because we were all younger, so we talked very well on weekdays, she took good care of me, and even saved my life in a battle, and at first I was just grateful, and then my companions couldn't help but joke when they saw that we were often together, and I had a little idea of this kind of thing at that time. After a long time, it was...'

'Did you confess later?'

'No, at that time I was still ignorant about this, I didn't know how to speak, and my master and the people around me kept making fun of it, which made me even more embarrassed..."

"Do you have any indication from the other party?"

"Actually, she hinted at me a few times, but I didn't know what happened at that time, and the more she was like this, the more I put on a look of ignoring her, as if I didn't care much about her.'

"Haha, I understand, I understand, people who have a first love are often like this. And what about later? ”

"Nothing later, after the battle was over, everyone went their separate ways, and I didn't confess my heart until I broke up, and it was really a pity to think about it later..."

'First love is mostly like this, but what about the second? Isn't it because you're too shy to confess?'

'No, this time for some other reason...'

'What is the reason?'

'I can't really say that...'

'Please, how can you be a big man, you might as well be as happy as some girls. Wait, could it be because...' Suddenly the princess looked at me with a look that looked like she had discovered a new world, but any adult in her right mind could almost understand the meaning behind her expression...

'Are you really a princess?' Why is my mind full of these nasty thoughts...' I couldn't help but complain helplessly.

'Hey, what did I say?' How do you know I have nasty thoughts going on in my head?' Well, at this time, the princess's attitude has completely begun to have no lower limit.

Does this need to be explained? Who wouldn't understand that look on your face!'

'Oh, since you're so good, tell me what's going on in my head right now?' As she spoke, the princess leaned in front of me, so close that I could even feel her breathing, and there was an intoxicating aroma in the air, and I only felt my blood rushing up.

'Why don't you speak?' Or do you need me to give you a little more hint...' The princess reached out and cupped my face, and I felt my consciousness blur as she looked at the suffocating beauty...

'No!' Just when I was almost dominated by instinct, I suddenly came to my senses and pushed the princess in front of me away, causing her to hit the stone directly on the side due to the force so strong.

'Hmm...' The princess's ** voice completely pulled me back to reality, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, feeling very guilty.

'Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...'

'It's okay, maybe I'm joking a little too much...' If the princess had complained about me or scolded me a few times, I might have felt better, but she didn't, but smiled wryly and blamed herself, which made me feel more and more guilty in my heart.

'Princess, I'm sorry... I didn't know what to say at all, and the princess, seeing my pained look, gently patted me on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it, everyone has secrets they don't want others to know, maybe I'm playing too crazy, anyway, you and I don't care about tonight's events, okay, it's almost time, I'll go to sleep first, and I'll leave the rest to you.' The princess smiled at me, and walked back to the cave, and despite her best restraint, you could tell that her movements were a little unnatural, and she must have had touched it lightly.

'Alas~' I sighed, sat on the ground with my head in my hands and regretted, why, why do I make things like this every time, but I can't tell others the reason, fate, how long are you going to torture me!? The mountain wind seemed to be particularly biting that night.

I finally survived until the next day, and the princess behaved as usual, as if nothing had happened last night, and I wanted to ask about her injuries several times, but in the end I didn't have the intention to speak, maybe at this time the princess had already regarded me as a strange person in her heart... But that's right, my life may have been a mistake from the beginning, Mom, Uncle Lance, Serena, and Master... Almost everyone who has something to do with me has suffered misfortune in the end, and if I continue to live, the number of victims will only increase, and sure enough, death is the best way to end the problem, not only for myself, but for all the innocent people in this world...

Finally night fell again, and we returned to the same place we had yesterday, quietly waiting for Sheldon's possible arrival, the time seemed so dull and long, and then Ellie even took a nap in boredom, but we could not leave, we could only continue to wait, seeing that the moon was about to rise in the sky, and suddenly a figure flashed in the distance.

'Princess, Kane, are you there?' It's Sheldon's voice! Several of us were in high spirits, and the princess and I hurried out of the woods to meet us.

'Sheldon, why are you here so late?' As soon as they saw the princess, they couldn't help but whisper.

'Sorry, the city is too strict during the day, and we don't have time to prepare...'

'Is it all arranged now?'

'Well, the boat is already waiting at the beach, come with me, by the way, shouldn't you have two companions?' Why didn't you come?'

'Oh, they're just waiting there, aren't we here to be safe?' Since it's all right, I'll call them over.' Actually, the princess and I were talking to Sheldon while observing the movement around us, but when we saw that there was nothing unusual, we called Ellie and the others over...

'This is Ellie, this is Ah Zi.' The princess gave a brief introduction, and then we went around to the outskirts of Port Villar under Sheldon's leadership, and then in the moonlight we could see a small boat floating and sinking on the shore.

'Who?' Suddenly, a voice in the distance asked.

'It's us.' Sheldon replied hurriedly, and then several dark shadows descended from the ship and approached us.

'How's it going, are you all here?' The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing only a waistcoat, revealing his thick chest hair, and an eye patch on one eye, which at first glance looks like a pirate.
