Lloyd hid under Eve's bed, it was already late, he was awake in the dark with pain, and kept asking himself.

If someone came to take the princess away, should he stop it?

He should be stopped, because he is a knight of His Royal Highness Eve, the nominal fiancé, and he has admired His Highness for many years. But...... This was again the order of His Highness Brant, who was the successor of Gary and the object of his allegiance that he swore at the sword ceremony. Now His Majesty has gradually let go of politics and affairs and handed them over to Brant to deal with. In the future, he will also become the emperor who controls the rise and fall of the entire Black family.

Lloyd looked at the bed. He knew that if he disobeyed the orders of His Highness Brandt, he would be immediately transferred away from the princess and severely punished upon his return to Gari, but none of that mattered, he was not worried, the only thing he feared was that his family would be implicated.

Lloyd began to pray to the great god of light, hoping that nothing would happen, and that a qiē and a qiē were just the imagination of His Highness.

He lay down for about two hours, and the only sound in the room was the faint breathing of Princess Eve.

Suddenly, there was no sound of the door being pushed or footsteps, but Lloyd was keenly aware of the "outsider" entering the room. His hand rested on the sword at his side, holding his breath.

The bed above made a crisp "squeak", and the soft mattress collapsed slightly. Lloyd's left hand pressed his right hand to his right, forcing himself not to act rashly, and he must obey His Highness's orders.

Eren carefully knelt beside Eve, gently stroking her soft side face and hair.

His Eve slept quietly, although she frowned slightly at the expense of not knowing what she dreamed of, but she did not say what Brandt said, because she was very sick because of the water and soil. Alan kissed her soft cheek, and he guessed that Brandt might not want her to get involved in Otto's complicated court affairs by asking Eve to be sick.

That was fine, he lifted Eve out of the soft quilt and pressed Eve's forehead on the forehead, he didn't want her to be dragged into this annoying, bottomless quagmire.

Lloyd knew that someone had taken Eve out of bed, then turned and left quietly, just as he had come. He clenched his hands tightly, and when he came out, Eve was gone, and all that was left on the bed was a collapsed dent.

The young knight, who still wore the coat of arms belonging to the princess, stared blankly at the vacant space in the bed. Moving back to his room, the person had already left, and the mark that should have been worn on his body was also carried, but His Highness had already slept, and he had to wait until dawn to report to His Highness Brandt, and then arrange the follow-up according to His Highness's will.

Lloyd sat wearily on the bed, caressing the badge on his chest, cold and cold. He looked sideways at the pale moonlight shining in through the window, and felt the weight of a family for the first time.

There was someone under Eve's bed, and Alan noticed it from the moment he entered the door, and he didn't need to think carefully to roughly guess that □□it was the annoying Lloyd. He laid Eve on his bed, set up a pillow for her, and straightened a strand of hair, and felt very pleasing to the eye, as if she should have slept in his room.

Eren lay down beside Eve and slowly approached her cheek, Eve's warm snort tickling his face.

Once Winnie had assisted him in completing the spell of blood removal and had dealt with the obstructive Elders' House, he took Eve to his favorite castle and asked her to be his apprentice. There are many rare species of skeletons and zombies, as well as mummy ghost bone dragons, phantom foxes and wolves......

He hugged Eve, head close to each other, big hands running gently through her soft hair on her back. She's going to love those cute little things, Alan thought.

Eve leaned into the warm ground in her sleep, rubbing her chest like Caleb, and Alan looked down at her flushed face, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.

He hugged Eve tighter and said "chirp" to the side of his face.

At dawn, as soon as Brant woke up with Judy in his arms, the guards came in and reported, "Your Highness Brant, Lord Lloyd has been waiting for you for nearly three hours. ”

"Three hours?" Brandt put down the tired Judy, who was probably upset by the noise, and reached out to hit him in a daze. Brant kissed the back of her hand and covered her with the quilt. He put on a white bathrobe barefoot, "When did he come?" ”

"I heard from the last group of guards, it's probably from five o'clock in the morning to now." The guard replied.

"Really?" Brant walked into the bathroom, and the maid immediately followed him in, waiting for Brant to wash and change his clothes. The venerable Highness Brandt was surrounded by her, and Lloyd entered the study.

"Taken away last night?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Lloyd lowered his head, "It's about a quarter past eleven." ”

"Good." In front of Brandt was something like a chessboard, and he chanted a spell softly, presumably similar to the magic of determining the location, and the pale blue dot that indicated Eve showed that she was in her room.

"Oh, Lloyd. Are you sure you're not mistaken because of too much stress? Brant pointed to the blue dot, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, and he propped his head over to look at Lloyd, "It told me that Eve would stay in her room." ”

"Impossible." Lloyd carefully watched the light flicker and flicker, "I heard someone come in last night, and I did take His Highness away after that." How could it be ......" But Lloyd would rather have his own auditory hallucinations, and Eve just got out of bed and went to the bathroom or something, and was not taken away.

"That's interesting, let's go to Eve's room." Brandt turned off the magic chessboard he had used to position, and he and Lloyd went to Eve's room, and Eve sat down at the table, dressed in a simple pale blue gauze dress, eating breakfast brought by the maid.

Seeing Lloyd and Brant, Eve put down the spoon in her hand, "Brother Brant, Lloyd, why are you here?" ”

"Come and see you." Brant sat down in the chair next to Eve, and Lloyd stood behind Eve, who looked at Eve gently, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"I slept well, brother." Eve replied.

"And what happened when you fell asleep?" Brant asked.

"Well, I slept soundly, so I didn't know what was going on." Eve tried to ask, "Brother, is something wrong?" ”

Lloyd and Brandt silently exchanged a look, and Brandt said, "It's all Otto's own business, I'm just worried about whether you will be implicated by them, since it is best if you don't." ”

Eve looked at Brant as if he didn't understand, he seemed to be a little annoyed, "If something happens at night, you must tell Sù Lloyd as soon as possible and let him inform me, you know?" ”

"yes, I see."

It was the same for the next two days. Lloyd was convinced that he was not hallucinating and that his vision was not wrong. He heard it and saw the princess taken away, but the next morning he could see her sitting at the white table and chair, the shreds of the sun shining over her head, bathed in the warm soft light like an angel, and saying good morning to him while drinking the maid's freshly brewed rose tea.

Lloyd felt his guilt deeply, what the hell was he doing?

However, whenever he asked Eve, His Highness's answer was always that she had slept well last night as if nothing had happened.

Lloyd was torn apart, he wanted to keep it that way, at least Eve wouldn't really be in any danger. But Brant and him clearly have a disagreement, he knows very well that Eve is just a sister, he can love her at any time and be a good brother, but the first thing is always the unshakable imperial power and the interests of Gary. He ordered Lloyd to stay under Eve's bed, and to inform him to track him down as soon as Eve was taken away.

After nightfall, Lloyd silently counted down, closer to the point when Eve was taken away every day.

However, after more than an hour, the person did not appear.

Lloyd was glad, and he waited until the middle of the night with such happiness. Alan didn't go today, he was in his room, Elisa was guarding the magic circle, and Winnie was helping him with the second phase of blood clearing magic.

"Your Highness, please don't worry." Winnie recorded the number of Ellen's bodies, "Allen's blood in the first phase was very successful, which was very beneficial for the second phase. With the previous foundation, the time required this time should be reduced by more than half. ”

"Thank you, Winnie." Alyssa was very worried, the intricate silver pattern on Allen's back, shining brightly, slowly embedded in his body like a slow knife, and slowly floated out.

It was the pain that spread from the depths of his soul, Alan silently opened his mouth and gasped, he didn't know what he could do, he could only subconsciously grasp what he could grasp in his hand, trying to resist this pain with small movements.

But his naïve attempts failed, and the pain of ancient magic was simply not something that humans could resist. In particular, that blood belongs to Queen Catherine, who is closest to the gods on the mainland.

The piercing pain lasted all night and did not go away until early in the morning. Alan sat weakly in his chair, and Winnie handed him a glass of water, "The second stage of the magic reversal seems to be a bit strict. ”

Alan broke out in a cold sweat, he put on his snow-white shirt, and his fingers trembled a little as he brought the water from the glass to his mouth.

"But at least it was successful, this phase will last about three days, and after these three days we will decide whether to do the final phase or not." Winnie calmly stated, "Alan, you have to think about it, with the disappearance of Queen Catherine's blood, your magic power may be greatly reduced, and even affect the future, are you sure you want to continue?" ”

Alan finished his water, and he looked at Winnie in silence. It took a long time to nod.
