Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, Allen's usual routine woke him up with a terrible biological clock.

Eve slept deeply, like a baby curled up in his arms, breathing lightly.

Alan put his arm around her waist and rubbed his nose against her cheek for a while, the breath of each other's breaths gradually blending, glowing with sweet and greasy breath. The gesture was so ambiguous that he could touch Eve's lips with a slight tilt of his head.

Of course, he did.

……

The morning light came in through the curtains, and the people who were hugging each other on the gorgeous bed seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light.

Eren licked Eve's lips as the birds chirped, and it took a long time for her blushing little face to let go.

That's good. Alan kissed Eve on the cheek as he pulled on the quilt, picked up the clothes he had dropped on the floor, put them on and left quietly.

And Eve never found out.

She was awake at Lloyd's knock on the door, and Eve was still sleepy, tired and tired from getting up from the covers, "Good morning, Lloyd." ”

"Good morning, Your Highness." Lloyd stood outside the door, and the maid came in to serve Eve to freshen up. He spoke to Eve from a distance, a little shyly, "Your Highness, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Eve took a deep breath, and the maid behind her pulled the rope fiercely, strangling her waist with her breathless corset.

"Your Highness, please take a deep breath and then close your lower abdomen." The maid behind him pulled the rope hard, but it was still a little short. As a perfectionist, she could hardly allow such a flaw.

Eve was already very slender, and now she couldn't hold it.

It's uncomfortable. She gasped for breath in pain, but intermittent blurred images kept flashing in her mind. Alan stroked her hair, from the top of her head to the roots......

She blushed and asked Lloyd, "Has anyone ever entered my room since you left?" ”

"Not really." Lloyd checked, "I set up a circle at your door before I left, and I will be able to sense it if someone breaks in." ”

That's dreaming. Eve rubbed her hair in distress, and the maid straightened her waist and began to "bind her breasts" again. Gary's aesthetic is to make the waist unbearable, and the chest is just squeezed to be beautiful.

Every time she was tormented, she was miserable.

When it was finally over, Eve's half-life was almost gone. She barely stood on the dresser's table and held the crown on her head.

"Your Highness, you are so beautiful today." Lloyd watched Eve slowly walk out, and couldn't help but praise shyly.

"Thank you." Even though she spoke like a gravitational force pressing on her abdomen, Eve struggled to maintain her graceful posture, "Did the Queen invite me to breakfast?" ”

"Yes, she asked the attendant to invite you over."

Although Eve came to visit Otto as a royal family member of Gary with Brother Brandt, Brant was responsible for all diplomatic matters. All she had to do was attend some necessary dinners and meetings. Such a special one-on-one appointment made her a little strange.

But she still went to Elisa's palace with Lloyd, guided by the attendants.

Hot milk and delicate bread were already on the table, and Alyssa greeted Eve with a smile as if she were looking at her own daughter-in-law, "Good morning, Eve." ”

"Good morning, Your Highness." As soon as Eve wanted to salute her, Alyssa quickly got up and grabbed her, and helped her to sit down on the edge of the table full of distress, for fear that she would be tired, "It's all your own people, you don't need to do this." ”

Eve was confused, when did they ...... Became a family?

Lloyd's surprise was no less than Eve's.

He quickly recalled in his mind the political and governance books of the Academy of Magic on Otto Gari's 100 years of diplomacy and development, and was convinced that Gary and Otto had never been married, and there was no relationship between them and no consanguinity.

Could it be that in these short ten days, His Majesty and the Empress suddenly made a family appointment for His Royal Highness and which prince of Otto?

Lloyd looked at Eve with trepidation, and then at Alyssa, who was smiling with a spring face, as vigilant as an old hen who visited a weasel with a chick, for fear that if he was not careful, the princess he carefully guarded would become someone else's.

Alyssa, who didn't know what they were wondering, was thinking about this morning, when Alan quietly returned to his own room from Eve's room, he was surprised to find that Alyssa had been waiting inside all night, she sat at Ellen's desk and asked Alan, "Honey, are you back from Eve's room?" ”

Alan doesn't know what kind of attachment Alyssa has, but based on her love for Eve, it's not a bad thing to let her know, and maybe give some advice.

So, Alan replied very generously, "Yes." ”

"You've already confirmed your relationship?" Hearing Allen's affirmation, Alyssa was almost extraordinarily happy, happier than any of her daughters and sons getting married, "Even ready to live together?" Although she was glad that Alan had a partner, Alyssa believed that now was not the best time and that he should be reminded to watch out for Elder Ruth's family.

Alan took off his cumbersome palace banquet clothes and changed into a white coat, and after hearing Alyssa's words, his button-up hand paused slightly, and he thought about it carefully, "No." ”

"It's already in a very good state, and there's no need to extend other complications."

"The current state?" Alyssa wondered, "What state?" ”

"The relationship between master and apprentice." Alan fastened the last button and meticulously rolled up his sleeves, as if he was afraid that Alyssa would not believe him, and added with a scalpel, "Very perfect and harmonious relationship." ”

"......," said Alyssa for a long time, "my dear son, no master will sleep with an apprentice affectionately. ”

Alan frowned and turned to look at Alyssa very unkindly, "Who made it?" ”

"......" is not prescribed.

"Since there is no one to rule it, why can't the master and the apprentice sleep together?" Obviously, Alan didn't care about the problem, and left Alyssa behind, and went into the real room by herself.

This gave Alyssa a headache, if she didn't help her son, how could someone else marry her? Especially the other party...... Or Gary's much-loved little princess.

Was he really stupid, or did he not understand the situation?

"Your Highness Eve, can you let your guards go down first?" Alyssa felt that Lloyd's presence here would be a great obstacle to her words. As an experienced person, Alyssa was keenly aware of the admiration that Lloyd was trying to hide but inadvertently leaking in his gaze when she first met, and she said euphemistically, "It's always inconvenient for us women to get together and chat, and there are men listening to us. ”

"This ......" Eve was a little embarrassed, and she looked at Lloyd with a little reluctance in her eyes. After all, before coming out, her mother repeatedly emphasized that she should be careful in Otto and never leave Lloyd.

"It's okay." It was Lloyd who gave in first, after all, this was Otto's palace, in front of Queen Otto.

He walked up to Eve and gently put his place on her shoulder to reassure, "Your Highness, I'll go outside and wait first." If you have any commands, use the method I told you last night. ”

"Hmm." Eve didn't see the worry in Alyssa's eyes. When Lloyd had left and walked away, he looked at Alyssa a little awkwardly.

"Honey, why don't you eat it?" Alyssa had never been so tender, and she thoughtfully placed the crystal glass containing the milk in front of Eve.

Alan has been single for so many years, she guessed she had a hard time last night.

However, the princess ...... It's not easy to marry.

Alyssa thinks that Otto and Gary have no history of marriage, not only because Gary, who believes in white magic, looks down on Otto, who is popular in black magic, but also because their princess has always been given by Lauren of the Dragon Cave......

Alyssa was a little worried, and it was still unknown whether there would be some other changes in the future.

"Thank you." Eve didn't know what to say to Alyssa, she endured the embarrassment in her heart and drank milk like an obedient student, and Alyssa quickly got to the point, "Eve, how did you and Ellen meet?" ”

Eve's milk-drinking movements stopped, and she cautiously looked at Alyssa's kind face, suddenly feeling a little scary.

She remembered that Jona's marriage contract with Allen was made by Allen's parents. Did she hear something from Jona, so she was worried that she would intervene in them?

"We ...... I met only by coincidence. Eve put the crystal down and replied earnestly.

"Actually, I've already heard some of what Jona and the others have said, you have a crush on Alan, don't you?" Alyssa thought she was shy, so she went through the trick in a different way.

“…… Nothing, don't worry. In order to prove that she really would not intervene between Ellen and Winnie, Eve had to mention Lloyd, she was very complicated, but looked at Alyssa sincerely, "Actually, I came to Otto this time with my fiancé." ”

Alyssa's hand holding the bread stopped, covering her mouth that was slightly open in surprise.

"...... fiancé?" And what about her Alan.

"Well, it's Lloyd." Eve lowered her head a little sadly, and in Alyssa's eyes, she was a shy girl talking about her sweetheart, "Actually, before leaving Gary to come to Otto, my mother chose Lloyd as my knight, and we may get married next year." ”

"So, there's nothing between you and Allen?" Alyssa forgot all the previous routines and asked directly what she was most eager to know, "You haven't had a similar development as a couple?" ”

"Well, we're just...... It's just a friend, or maybe it's not even a friend. Eve thought sadly that he probably didn't think of herself as a friend, let alone anything else, "So, please don't get me wrong." ”

Alyssa was about to cry.

Eve clasped her hands on her knees, "Lloyd and I are in a relationship. ”
