Alyssa hid in the cubicle, her eyes sneaking through the cracks at what was happening in the room.

"Her Royal Highness said that you were injured?" Eve was almost "coerced" by Alyssa to Ellen's room, where she sat on the edge of Ellen's bed and glanced at Eren roughly. He looked at ...... It's good.

"Nope." The bloodshot in Alan's eyes gradually faded, and he didn't want Eve to see the red pupils, so he lowered his head, and his hair fell down to cover his eyes, "She probably saw it wrong." ”

"Then you're okay." Eve stood up and straightened the hem of her skirt, "I'll go back first, I'll be in a hurry if Lloyd can't find me." ”

"Wait." Alan grabbed Eve's wrist and forcefully pulled her back to the bed.

Eve sat heavily on the bed, and she had to tilt her head slightly to meet Allen's gaze. She didn't know what Eren was going to do, and Eren just stared at her, from her forehead to her eyes, and then down her nose to her chin.

Eve pursed her lips and watched him approach the side of the bed as she shrunk her shoulders to the side, her elbows slightly bent on the bed, half of her body almost touching the quilt.

Her eyes blinked, as if she had been deeply wronged.

What grievances does she have? But on the pale red fingerprints on her chin, Alan was still a little uncomfortable. The moment Eve dodged him just now, Alan suddenly felt the urge to drag her to the bed with her. This thought was like a heavy meteor suddenly streaked across the night sky, he calmed down for a moment, sat up and said, "I didn't notice just now, I was indeed injured." ”

"Yan zhòng?" Eve sat up again, and Alan's dark-haired eyes noticed that she had quietly moved a centimeter to the left. His displeasure was palpable, and he liked Eve to look at him with such dependent eyes rather than with such careful defense.

"Very strict." Pushing the door in, Winnie ignored Allen's warning expression and stuffed the newly made potion into Eve's palm, "It may be accompanied by intermittent hand cramps, numbness, and unsteady medicine bowls, I still have important practical things to do, I can't take care of him, can I trouble His Highness to feed the adults to drink the medicine?" ”

Eve didn't particularly believe it, because Eren obviously looked good. But she didn't question it, after all, it was just a medicine, and it wasn't a big deal. So he scooped a spoonful of a potion of dark brown and nasty smell, and sent it to Allen's mouth with some hesitation.

Alan lowered his head, with obvious disgust, and his first reaction was to smash the bowl and fall to the ground. But thinking of who fed him the medicine, Alan still deigned to bow his head and stiffly drank the medicine from the spoon.

"That's right." He looked at Winnie with a hideous face, Winnie nodded with satisfaction, and she turned the quill pen in her hand in a flexible circle, "These must be drunk, not a drop is missing." ”

Alan didn't think it was right at all, he almost made a move with Winnie with a mouthful of bitterness, and Eve had already scooped the second spoonful of medicine to his mouth. Seeing that Alan hadn't moved, he gently touched his lips with a white porcelain spoon, "Alan, I'll ask Fern to help you get some sweetness in a while, and drink the medicine first." ”

She said softly, looking at him earnestly, Alan had to suppress even if he was angry again, continued to lower his head, and drank the medicine in pain.

Winnie smiled and decided not to stand here and disturb his good work. Eve fed five spoonfuls, seeing that Eren was really in pain, and besides, this medicine tasted bad when she smelled it, so she said to him, "Actually, I used to drink all the medicine in one go, why don't you drink it all in the medicine bowl?" It's hard to feel like at once, but at least it's more comfortable than drinking a little bit. ”

Eve said, putting the spoon back. Alan immediately grabbed her wrist, regardless of whether Eve was puzzled, he insisted on holding her hand to his mouth, and drank the medicine before letting go.

Eve didn't know why, but she still fed the medicine to Alan, her fingers were as warm as white jade, and her smooth nails were red in powder. As the Adam's apple rolled, the bitter liquid flowed down the throat into the stomach, carrying a melting warmth.

His gaze chased Eve's hand, resisting the urge to catch her and lie down. It wasn't until the last spoonful of the medicine was drunk that the glass bowl bottomed out, and Alan suddenly turned his head and took her fingers when he saw Eve about to stop.

There was a wet touch on her fingertips, and Eve's eyes widened in surprise, she obviously hadn't expected Eren to do such a thing.

Alan grabbed her wrist and kissed her all the way down the fingertips to the back of her hand, his snow-white teeth gently biting the delicate skin on the back of his hand, smelling the sweet fragrance of the pale green veins, and couldn't stop.

"Alan?"

It was Eve's voice that brought him back to his senses, and Alan kissed Eve's wrist along the back of her hand, up the ulna. He let go of his hand slightly at Eve's voice, and Eve blushed and broke away from him, and ran out of the room without thinking.

Ran back to his room and closed the door, and then sat down on the floor along the door, his face as if he was drunk and red.

What is Alan doing? Eve pressed her hot cheeks against the cold door panel, and her nervousness had not yet calmed down.

As soon as Eve left, Alyssa pushed open the door and came out of the dark, she was full of ridicule, "My little Ellen has not been good at drinking medicine since he was a child, and now he not only drinks medicine obediently, but also learns to kiss the back of other people's hands." But you're too anxious and scared Eve away. ”

"You don't have to." Alan reflected on how he had just felt, and didn't want to talk to Alyssa at all.

Alyssa knew that Eren was probably unprecedentedly shy.

It's just that when she thinks of Eve's attitude towards Elan, she feels that she has to find a day to talk to Eve, what if it turns out to be just Ellen's unrequited love? However, it is obviously not suitable recently, and Alan is still in the unstable period of clear blood, and if he knows that Eve doesn't like him at this time, he may be so sad.

Alyssa is a little sympathetic to him, it's rare to like a person, the other party doesn't like him, forget it, I can't figure out my feelings in a daze, I really don't know who it's like?

……

Of course, things outside the house are far less easy than inside. The conflict between Eren and Ruth still couldn't be hidden, and Ruth insisted in front of the king and the ministers that it was Allen's magic fluctuations that hurt him. Combined with the situation at the scene and the wounds on his body, as well as the confessions of so many guards present, it is indeed very convincing.

Although Jona testified that Ruth attacked her and Eve first, the Camilla family had always been close to the royal family and was not accepted by the Council of Elders and Ministers. Jona wanted Eve to come forward, and as long as Eve, who was Princess Gari, spoke, she would definitely leave Ruth Bill speechless.

But even if Eve was willing, her brother, Prince Brandt, clearly did not want his sister to be involved in Otto's internal political and political struggles.

"Eve, this is an internal matter for Otto." Brandt gently put her hand into the quilt for Eve, "In the past two days, you will call yourself sick to the outside world, and I will explain it to the king of Otto." You don't take part in any activities until we leave Otto and return to Gari, you know? ”

"But brother, if I don't help Jona and the others speak, will something happen to them?" Eve lay on the bed, pretending to be sick as Brandt had requested.

"The administration of the court is too complicated for you, maybe that Ruth has something wrong with Duke Allen and Miss Camilla, and has no intention of implicating you. It's a puddle of muddy water, and once you get in, you'll be dirty no matter what the outcome is. What's more, you don't know magic, and if someone uses you as an arrow against someone else, what will happen after that, neither I nor my parents who are far away in Gary want to see. Brandt gently stroked Eve's soft hair and softly dissuaded her, "Those two friends of yours will have some minor troubles at most. But they are all royal nobles, and even if they commit something, they will not be punished too severely. And you are different, you are the most noble little princess of our Gari, and you can't be hurt in the slightest. As long as you stay in your room quietly, your brother will send someone to increase the number of patrolling guards, and Lloyd will keep watch over you. So stay here obediently and don't let my brother worry, okay? ”

"Hmm." Although Eve wants to help Jona, she also knows Brandt, and once Brandt has made a decision, few people can change it.

"You're frightened today, lie down and rest for a while, and I'll let the kitchen prepare dinner for you." Brant stood up.

"Goodbye, brother."

"Hmm." Brandt turned around, smiled soothingly at her, and opened the door to go out, followed by Lloyd.

They walked to Brant's living room relatively silently, and Brant's expression was always solemn, no longer the appearance of a gentle brother. He shielded his surroundings with a magic array to prevent any surveillance or listening monsters hiding in his room, "Okay, you can tell me Lloyd, what happened today?" ”

Lloyd meets Eve and Jona and goes to them to talk under the trellises, but is interrupted by Ruth Beale and explains the details of the attack to Brant.

"According to you, that Mr. Ruth is hiding next to the grape trellis and eavesdropping on Eve and Camilla?" There was a sly glint in Brant's aqua blue eyes.

"Yes, Your Highness." "When I found out, he attacked us. ”

"And Duke Allen, how did it appear?"

"This ......," Lloyd recalled, "I was anxious to check on Her Highness after breaking through the walls that Ruth had built, so I didn't pay attention. He seems to ...... All the way to the other side of the wall. ”

"That's interesting." Out of nowhere, Brant took a goblet with golden champagne poured into it. As he sipped his tea, he said meaningfully, "Lloyd, have you ever heard a legend from an elf?" ”

Lloyd didn't know, so he shook his head.

"I once saved the most long-lived elf on the road, and he once told me a thing." Brant shook his glass with a hint of longing, "Otto's royalty is the offspring of the Bloodline. ”

Lloyd was dumbfounded, "This ...... How could this be? They don't look like any of the features of the Bloodline. ”

"The elf said that before the Battle of Nadis, Queen Catherine of the Bloodlines fell in love with the king of Otto at the time. You may not know that Queen Catherine is the first generation of blood clans, and the Luoan Continent is the closest to the existence of God. "They were married, united, and had children, who had inherited Queen Catherine's powerful magic and had the same physical traits as humans." They fought valiantly and invincible, breaking through many levels that magicians couldn't reach at a very young age. Otto conquered countless towns and kingdoms for the land of projectiles, and gradually formed the prototype of today's Otto. ”

"But then, for some unknown reason, Queen Catherine fell. The blood of the Otto royal family from Catherine has gradually diluted over the generations, and without Catherine's protection, they are gradually as mediocre as ordinary magicians, losing their powerful innate advantages. But I heard the elf say that perhaps with the blessing of fate, one or two members of the royal family will be able to return to their ancestors and inherit the mighty magic of Queen Catherine. ”

"Your Highness...... Are you suspicious? Lloyd didn't say the name.

"Yes, that's what I suspected." As the crown prince and the first in line to the throne, Brandt is deeply touched by Gary's decline over the years, and he cannot accept that his father's overly conservative approach has made Gary lose his overlordship.

"And what are your plans?"

Brandt looked somewhere, he knocked on the table, and said quietly, "Remove all the guards at Eve's door, you can guard them, but if anyone comes in or a non-human species comes in, you just need to monitor what they do, you don't need to stop them." ”

"His Royal Highness Brandt......" Facing Lloyd's questioning, Brandt patted him on the shoulder and stopped all his words after that, "Lu Yi's, you are one of the best talents in Gary, the eldest son of Duke Brandt, and the future heir to the title. I hope you will remember what you said at the sword-orring ceremony, and do not do anything that disappoints me and your father. ”
