Chapter 52: Conversation on a Small Boat

Maier thought it would be boring to go out for a walk with Leah, but it turned out to be the exact opposite. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Huh? Has this really happened? ”

After listening to Mel explain the origin of the fixed two-sided oars, Leah looked surprised. This story was told to Leah by Maier on her own initiative in order to break the silence. After listening to the story, Leah forgot all about the previous unpleasantness and asked this sentence with great interest.

"This is true, and this matter is very famous in Yongfeng Village. If you don't believe me, you can ask any villager after you get off the boat, and they will give the same answer. ”

As soon as Mel mentions the contact with the villagers, Leah's eyes darken. She remembered the last time she had left Byrons, the hostile gaze she had poked at her like a needle. She lowered her head in frustration, let out a long low "um" sound, and said abruptly.

"Forget it."

Mel finally took the initiative to speak, and Leah didn't want to interrupt the conversation, so she quickly asked.

"Are you almost on the other side?"

"No, it's still far away."

"When you get to the other side, just row for me."

"Huh?"

"I want to move my body...... There is no such opportunity in the palace. ”

Mel hesitated, nodded, and picked up the pace of his row.

"What do you like to do?" Leah asked again.

Leah's words made Maier wary, and then he recalled what Yun Xin had told him, so he let down his guard and said truthfully.

"In addition to office work and inspection, it's just to accompany my family."

Myer's answer warmed Leah's heart and made her feel desolate. She is not yet a member of Meier's family, and she does not yet enjoy the treatment of being accompanied by Meier.

"So, what about the rest?"

"Hmm...... Practicing magic? ”

"Huh?"

"But after getting married, it seems that there is less and less time to practice magic." Mel couldn't help but mutter, "Am I being too indulgent?" ”

Pamper?

Leah looked at Maier with an incredulous gaze, as if she were looking at a monster.

Leah, who grew up in aristocratic circles, met a nobleman like Maier for the first time. Leah's father loved to hunt, Leah's grandfather liked to collect, and the current King Ert liked to watch fighting shows, and these entertainments did not bring them substantial benefits, and most of the time they wasted time and money. But this is a very common thing in aristocratic circles, because they are nobles, they have the capital and time to enjoy, so they have the right to enjoy.

But Maier didn't do that. He devotes a lot of time to his work, and his free time is either for his family or to improve his own strength. His life is extremely monotonous, work, family, cultivation, three points and one line, but he is not bored.

Just because the time to practice magic is reduced, they feel that they are indulgent, such a person can no longer be described simply as "self-discipline", but should add "compulsiveness" in front of "self-discipline". Leah believes that people need to be entertained, so she thinks that Myer's lifestyle is not healthy.

In fact, as early as when Maier first became king, Xiaoxiao persuaded him to take it easy, even if it was only occasionally, to do something he liked. But Mel didn't listen, and smiled at the fact that he couldn't convince Myr, so he could only let him stay as he was, and then satisfy him in other ways as much as possible to help him relieve his pressure.

Admittedly, Mel was too indulgent in sexual matters, so he had less and less time to practice magic. But if he doesn't, he will have nowhere to vent his stress, and his body will definitely be suffocated over time.

"You're not masochistic, are you?" Leah asked with a complicated expression.

"Huh?"

Maier was stunned when he heard this, and his head immediately shook into a rattle.

"Do you often feel stressed?"

Maier was stunned again when he heard this, and nodded his head in confusion.

"Do you often feel like you have nowhere to vent your stress?"

Maier was stunned again when he heard this, and nodded twice in agreement.

After the end of the war between the two countries, the life of husband and wife can no longer help Maier completely eliminate the pressure. Recently, Maier was so depressed that he even called Nami to the office under the pretense of official business, and then half-pushed and half-made Nami and him do indescribable things, so that he barely improved his mood.

"You still think something important is missing from your life, don't you?"

How did this guy guess so accurately?!

Myer's stunned expression revealed the answer in his mind, causing Leah to sigh helplessly.

"You guy, you should be an idiot, right?"

"Huh?!"

"That's right, it's stupid."

Leah said as she folded her hands over her chest and looked at Maier with a frown.

"An imbecile who can't even manage his private life well."

"Hey! Is there such a thing as talking to the king in person? ”

Mel couldn't help but spit out, and then he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to spit in a long time. This long-lost complaint made him feel a lot more comfortable, and he even had the urge to jump off the boat and swim in the lake.

"Then I'm sorry, imbecile King." Leapi bowed to Mel with a smile, "I'm so sorry, please forgive me for my rudeness, even His Majesty, who may not even have a hobby." ”

"How can there be such an apology!"

"I said the word 'sorry' seriously, and I said it twice."

"Saying 'sorry' doesn't mean you're apologizing, bastard!"

Maier couldn't help but explode, to which Leah only showed a momentary look of surprise, and then a wry smile.

"Your temper is a little too good, it's really not majestic at all."

"I—"

Maier was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute it.

"Were you born like this?" Leah asked again.

"Probably not." "I remember that when I was a child, I would still lose my temper, and then I was severely punished by my father several times, and then I didn't dare to lose my temper anymore. Later, my mother told me that tantrums hurt the people who loved me, and that if I didn't want to hurt the people who loved me, I couldn't lose my temper, and after that I rarely lost my temper. ”

"I see."

Leah listened to Myer's childhood experience and couldn't help but talk about her own childhood.

"When I was a child, I would lose my temper, and people would let me and coax me, making me feel that I was the most honorable person in the world. They won't coax me, only the people who are related to me - what you call family. For as long as I can remember, the man I called 'Father' was cold to me, and the woman I called 'Mother' was nice to me at first, and then suddenly she ignored me. At that time, I was also stupid, crying and making trouble for a woman who had no feelings at all, and made a lot of noise. Finally the woman came, and she slapped me several times - I still remember the buzzing in my ears and the burning sensation on my face. ”

"She said I had disgraced her, that I was useless, naïve, and that I would not achieve anything without her. She also taunted me that only the incompetent cry because they can't do anything but cry. From then on, I stopped crying or making trouble, and even when I cried, I had to hide away from no one and not be seen. Later, my teacher taught me that people who follow their emotions are naïve, and only those who control their emotions are mature, and then I began to control my emotions and try not to play tricks. I think I'm doing well, at least no one has called me naïve since. ”

Your mother must be doing it for you, too—Maier couldn't get it out of his mouth, for he wasn't sure if the woman was really doing that for Leah's good.

There is no doubt that what she did hurt Leah. Leah is just a child, and it is normal for her to lose her temper and cry because she wants to see her mother. If Leah's mother just wanted Leah to be independent, she didn't have to hit Leah at all, and said that Leah was disgraceful to her and deliberately mocked her for being useless. With the right amount of patience and a little ruthlessness, this is enough.

After Leah finished speaking, the boat was just about to reach the other side. Maier concentrated on turning the ship, and after turning the bow around, he cautiously swapped places with Leah.

On the way back, the two talked a lot about their childhood. Because the conversation was so engrossed, the boat stopped in the middle of the lake. While the two were talking, they were gesturing with their hands, trying to express the things they had done when they were young more vividly.

“…… That guy's real purpose is to belittle my archery, heh, a boy who has been hollowed out by wine, actually dares to belittle my archery, it's just beyond his strength. Before he could finish his sentence, I bent my bow and shot his falcon straight down. The falcon was worth at least ninety thousand falpecks, and when it fell, the guy was so angry that his face turned white. At this time, I came to him and said to him with an innocent face, I'm sorry, my archery skills are so terrible, I accidentally shot your eagle. It was an accident, you don't blame me, do you? ”

Fabi is the currency unit of the Elts, 10 fapeas is equivalent to 7 Wentai Rong money, 90,000 fapes is about 63 Tairong money, which is about to catch up with the cost of a set of standard enchanted infantry armor.

When Leah finished telling her about what she had done when she was thirteen, she laughed with Myer. It didn't take long for Maier to stop laughing and wipe her tears and say.

"That eagle is too pitiful."

"Hey! You're so slight! ”

"The scenery is the scenery, but the eagle is really pitiful."

"Hmm...... That's right, then it can only be blamed for having an idiot owner on the stall! ”

Maier smiled wryly and shook his head, only to change the subject.

"What happened to that man?"

"Who knows? I don't bother to pay attention to that kind of goods. ”

"Didn't he make you lose money?"

"Huh? Let me lose money? Leah smiled disdainfully, "Are you serious?" I'm the heir to the throne, and if he had the guts, he wouldn't have to speak ill of me behind my back. ”

"Hah...... Also. ”

Maier nodded in agreement.
