"Are you alright?" Shortly after Siegel went out, the door to the room was slammed open again, and a man in plain black clothes swept in like the wind.

"I'm fine." Smiling softly and looking at the man with his left hand still bandaged, Ah Zhai patted the eaves of the bed with difficulty and motioned for the other party to sit down.

"Next time there is something like this, don't say anything about going first and then leaving." Rey took a deep breath and sat down next to him, leaning on the pillow with Ah Zhai, God knows that when he saw the person in front of him fall under the tiger's mouth, his hand was shaking at that moment, and he couldn't even imagine if one day this person was gone...... Oh, how ridiculous, the same invincible pirate king Rey actually has something to fear!

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Ah Zhai raised his hand slightly, which was still unable to move freely, and gently held Rey's broad palm, and his tone was indescribably gentle and amiable, "How many days have I been lying down?" Didn't you get a good rest? ”

"Three days." Rey looked intently at the pale young man, there was no moment as he wanted to embrace this person in his arms and melt into his blood, God knows that when he saw this person unconscious and collapsed in his arms, he realized that this Governor of the Seven Seas was just a teenager in his twenties, and the other party's paper-thin body shouldered the peace of the sea, guarding the sea frontier for the vast empire, dealing with whirlpools, hurricanes, reefs and even storms all year round.

"Did anyone else embarrass you?" Ah Zhai meekly leaned on the pillow, he actually didn't have much strength to support his weight, he could only let the eyes of the people in front of him stare at him with a rare gesture of weakness, maybe because Siegel came, but for this brother who had only met once, he had a sense of dependence from his heart, as if there was this person in front of him, all the others could be ignored as long as he enjoyed life.

"Nope." Rey replied very calmly and quickly, but it was this calm and swiftness that made Ah Otaku couldn't help but be suspicious, he knew his subordinates very well, in the case of his serious injuries and unconscious, even if Rey was also injured, but not to mention the treatment, as long as he was not caught in the dungeon, he was very merciful.

“…… I'm sorry. Forcefully supporting the weight of his body, Ah Zhai kissed his lover's lips softly, "I may not have a way to punish them, you must know how jealous the nobles of the imperial capital have been to us for so many years, and now that the new emperor has only been on the throne for a long time, my brother and I are in a more difficult situation, so I hope you can understand that we have nothing but the loyalty and protection of the fiefdom army, this time even if they embarrass you, it is because they protect me, so I hope you can forgive them." ”

"It's okay, I can understand that." If Rey had doubted the motives of the person in front of him before, but after life and death in the woods, he began to try to open his heart and accept the person in front of him who saved him when he was injured.

“…… Are you sure? Seeing the reassuring smile of the person in front of him, he didn't know why Ah Zhai felt that his heart was stabbed with a sharp weapon, "If you think about it, then no matter what happens in the future, you can't leave me!" And from now on you will not have the opportunity to have a wife, a family, a child of your own, and even I can't give you any promises, and our relationship will not be recognized by law, and I won't be able to give you a decent wedding...... Even then, you have decided to stay with me, and I may even make you suffer for the sake of the people of the Rose Realm......"

Thinking of the plan made early and the war that had already taken place in the depths of the sea thousands of miles away, Ah Zhai only felt a sense of astringency in his heart.

"Don't cry." A gentle kiss fell on the eyes, through the eyelids, Ah Zhai could even feel the temperature of Rey's lips, at this moment he couldn't help but close his eyes, let the people in front of him kiss the tears from the corners of his eyes little by little, Ah Zhai has always been a stubborn person who never regrets the decision he made, but at this moment he couldn't help but be sad, he firmly believed that his approach to eradicating pirates and co-opting local residents was correct, in addition to interests, it was also a kind of security, no peace could not bring wealth, but he still felt astringent, Or that he is greedy for the tenderness of his lover at this moment, and he can't be sure whether the person in front of him will draw his sword against him if he knows the truth, and he can't be sure how he will respond if the person in front of him really draws his sword against him.

He suddenly felt as if he had unknowingly fallen into the puzzle of fate, they could not see the direction of the future or the path of the future, they could only hold the authority in their hands and move forward as always, even if the next step was the abyss.

"You remember that I gave you a chance, and no matter what happens, I won't give you a chance to escape from me!" Holding Rey's hand, Ah Zhai threatened viciously.

"Well, I promise I won't leave you no matter what happens." Rey gently held the young man's soft, white calloused hand, his expression was indescribably determined, but after many years, he realized that some promises were not fulfilled at the moment when people swore them.

"Perhaps, we should have a good talk."

When the seriously injured lover fell into a deep sleep again, Rey cautiously closed the door, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the Duke of Rose standing on the opposite wall under a huge landscape portrait, and many nobles in the imperial capital who were pot-bellied and romantic.

"The Duke has something to do with me?" At a glance, Rey concluded that the rumors about this man were all unreliable, this man was obviously a leopard that could wake up at any time while napping, and once you were fooled by his appearance, all that awaited you was to have your throat torn by a sharp claw.

"As for the relationship between you and Jin, I think we need to talk about it." Siegel put his hand in the pocket of his pants, if such an action were done by someone else, it would not seem deliberate or obscene, but if he did it, you only felt that he was casual and had an indescribable lazy grace.

"Okay." Since he was determined to accept the little earl's sincerity, Rey naturally agreed to have a good exchange with the titular eldest brother.

"Bang!" The next moment, a fist greeted him with the sound of whirring wind that pierced the air.

"Boom!" Rey's mind was still a little confused, but his body, which had been trained for a long time, naturally took his memory to block the sudden punch.

"Lao Tzu is such a younger brother, he was actually abducted by you as soon as they met, and I am still not allowed to be angry?" Rolling his sleeve open, letting the cufflinks spill to the ground, he elbowed his fist and struck Rey in the ribs.

“…… Does Jin know you're so rude? Rey was unceremoniously mocking, and he was naturally not polite to return his hand, it was this goods that gave the little earl an unreliable fiancée, thinking of the perverted woman who didn't know where to float now, he had a sense of depression in his heart, especially when he thought of the little earl's sad tears (not, obviously thinking too much) because he was not able to correct his name, he couldn't help but fight back.

"I don't know how he fell in love with you, a guy with a honey-bellied sword!" Although he has always shown himself as a sick and weak nobleman, Siegel, who has been trained by iron and blood since he was a child, is naturally not a useless wastewood, and immediately kicked at Rey fiercely.

"It's because you pretend to be weak that Jin will share so much hardship!" Once his identity is accepted, many things that he didn't care about before naturally can't be turned a deaf ear, Rey has regarded Ah Zhai as his wife at this time (although he is the countess in the eyes of the whole castle), although he is also very supportive of men should have their own careers, but he still has a grudge against the lazy person in front of him for letting his wife take on such responsibilities at such a young age.

"Humph! How do you know it's not Jin willing? Siegel sneered, he didn't know much about the annoying pirate in front of him for his younger brother, although his younger brother let down all his guard against his family's gentleness and amiability, but the people of their Rose family were all wild lone wolves in their bones, with ambition and courage that were not inferior to anyone, and the courage and superb skills to move forward at all times.

"But after all, he is only in his early twenties this year, and you are so embarrassed to let your brother suffer?" In the blink of an eye, the two of them have been fighting back and forth, and although they have their own victories and defeats, they are all very good at putting the place where their clothes can be hidden, just for the people who rest in the door will not be difficult because of their differences.

"Even if he likes you, it's not surprising that you can interfere with his decisions!" Siegel sneered and raised his hand to be a slap.

"Smack!" Unexpectedly, Rey didn't make a move to block, on the contrary, he tilted his head slightly so that Siegel slapped him in the face, and only heard a loud sound, and a red five-finger print fell on the handsome man's face.

“…… What are you doing here? The door suddenly opened from the inside, and the house was asleep, but the deed received a summons from the black cat that Elizabeth had known that Rey had been taken away, and that the woman, who had been accustomed to seeing the rudder, planned to return to the port of Padre to continue her tavern business.

"It's okay, it's just that my brother misunderstands me." Turning his head slightly, Rey was careful not to let Ah Otaku see the marks on his face.

"It's all swollen!" Ah Zhai frowned, although in his memory, whether it was Gu Yize at the beginning, Yu Wenyi or Tang Biyi at the beginning, they were not good at suffering, but considering the early death of his father in front of him in this life, and his mother was the queen of socials, he was afraid that he would not care about him at any time, and he himself had an uncle and cousin who were eyeing him, so it was not an exaggeration to be afraid that his temperament would be a little compromised, so Ah Zhai didn't have a lot of doubts, just sighed and looked at his brother who was standing aside and almost angry, and then pulled Rey into the bedroom, Close the door with your hand.
