Lake Saman is the largest freshwater lake in Franche, and during the hot season, a variety of aquatic plants grow, among which the Lausanne water lily is the most popular.

This lotus flower was originally a second-class medicinal plant, and it was once estimated that if the Imperial Royal Academy collected and sold all the Lausanne water lilies in the campus, it would be able to add a new set of mecha to the mecha department every year.

But as if there was an unwritten rule, or a subtle tradition, these lotus flowers that bloomed along the shores of the lake were never picked, and if a new student or tourist reached out, someone would politely stop them.

Therefore, when it comes to flowering, you can see thousands of lotus flowers quietly exuding a light fragrance, showing people their graceful posture.

Waiting for love is the flower language of Lausanne's water lilies.

The oncoming wind, the refreshing scent of flowers, the pleasing sight of the lake, and, a silent companion—it was a pleasant afternoon that Allen had encountered.

It's just that before he read two pages of the book, Allen's eyes moved to the side more than once - who called him this "silent" companion too much, even if he didn't say a word, it was difficult to ignore.

Its golden fur shines brighter than the sun, and its ornate and noble markings rise and fall with its breathing, making it look dangerous and charming.

Allen stood up as if unintentionally and began to walk around the pavilion.

The Imperial Leopard crouched on the other side of the pavilion, squinting as if napping, and as soon as Alan stood up, its ears moved slightly, and its squinting eyes were completely open.

Alan smiled embarrassedly: "You continue to sleep, continue to sleep, I just think the sun looks better over there, that, can I go over?" Hey hey"

Under the gaze of those deep blue eyes, Allen, who decided to take silence as acquiescence, cheekily walked to a sunny place and sat down, and his trouser leg accidentally hit someone's thick tail.

As a fluff control of his cat crumbling thoughts, oh no, all the small animal crumbs, Alan didn't care how impressive the size of the "furballs" around him was—he simply wanted to know if that beautiful fur felt as good as he imagined!

The action was inexplicably faster than his consciousness, and by the time he reacted, his hand was already on someone's back.

Then the eyes of a man and a leopard met for a few seconds.

Continuing to laugh in the other party's calm gaze, as if he had suddenly discovered a new continent, Alan quickly touched it twice more and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, your spots here are bigger!" ”

Emperor Leopard glanced at the "Dengzi" who pretended to be calm and tried in vain to divert the victim's attention and then put his hands on it, resting his head on the overlapping forelimbs, looking like "it doesn't matter what you do, I don't care about you anyway".

Alan was overjoyed, and immediately unceremoniously touched and muttered: "Last time I went to the main castle for two days, but I didn't see you, do you also live in it?" Why did you run out again? Has Your Highness asked someone to take care of you? Do they bathe you every day? ”

Speaking of this, his mind began to unconsciously imagine the scene of others bathing this big cat (fog) - washing the neck and back, washing the back after washing, washing the stomach after washing, washing the tail after washing the belly, hehehe

Probably because Allen's eyes were too "explicit" for people to look at directly, the emperor leopard simply closed his eyes, but the tip of the tail behind him occasionally moved, as if he was responding to Allen's broken thoughts (and didn't).

"I don't know how old you are, I must ask Your Highness next time I have a chance." Alan thought of his little tiger and couldn't help muttering, "I really hope that the cub will grow up soon, if only it could grow up to your size, it must be very handsome and beautiful!" ”

It's like a parent who will be very proud when he talks about his children, Allen himself compared: "I read the information on the Internet, the ratio of the body and tail of the Xingnan tiger will determine their body size when they grow up, if the tail length is about one-third to one-half of the body length, it will grow into a big guy!" Our cub's tail is so long! ”

As he spoke, Allen's eyes drifted to the tail of the Imperial Leopard.

- Hey, hey, hey, this tail is great!

The enthusiasm in the other party's eyes had almost turned into substance, and its tail was on fire, and the emperor leopard uncomfortably swung its thick tail sharply, and accidentally pulled Allen's leg and waist.

It was suddenly motionless, but Allen, who was talking to himself, did not notice this small movement, and he reluctantly moved his gaze back to the belly of the emperor leopard.

Although I really want to confirm whether the wound is completely healed, but not all big cats' belly can be touched casually, at least the current Alan is just a slightly familiar stranger to this big cat, and I have to thank "Majesty" Longen for touching the head and back, and I still want to inch in, eight times out of ten I will be scratched!

Alan regretfully began to find the next topic to hide the loss in his heart: "I'm so happy to meet you today, oh yes, there is something to be happy about just now!" ”

Just? Happy thing?

The king leopard's ears moved.

"The academy has an orientation ball next Saturday night, and I forgot all about inviting my dance partners in advance, but luckily Pei Ji reminded me."

In fact, even Pei Ji had already found a dance partner and was about to rent a dress and ask Alan to help him choose it, Alan was surprised to realize that he didn't have a dance partner yet!

As a newly grown boy who attended a court ball with his elders, Alan actually didn't feel embarrassed to attend the ball alone, but Pei Ji stared at him exaggeratedly with round eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "Allen, didn't you carefully read the post of the elder sister on the forum?" ”

"What's wrong?" He's been busy fiddling with new aids all this time, and he doesn't have the heart to look at those.

"As a rule, if you don't invite a dance partner in advance, those who attend the dance party alone will be randomly matched and forced!" Pei Ji said in horror: "Those three tutors of the academy are among the single ones every year! ”

Alan looked at Pei Ji suspiciously, and was about to ask which three, when he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened and said, "Could it be those three?!" ”

Pei Ji's head immediately clicked like a chicken pecking rice: "That's them!" ”

"Isn't it okay if I don't participate? Pretending to be sick, or something? Alan evaded.

"If it is discovered, it will be even worse!" Pei Ji grabbed Allen's arm: "I heard that Professor Braham hates others to dislike them the most, if he finds out that you didn't attend the prom, you have to take the same elective class for five consecutive years, and you will be named in every class!" ”

Alan shuddered, hesitated between face-to-face "one night" and face-to-face "five years" with a balding middle-aged male professor, and finally decided that even if he found a male dance partner, he must not go alone!

After inquiring, the girls in the class already had male partners, and her cousin Elena seemed to have been invited by more than double-digit classmates and seniors, but she rejected them, and Alan felt that his hope should not be too great.

I didn't expect to meet it today, and I made an invitation like a shipbreaker, and it was successful!

Alan was overjoyed and very grateful to the sister who saved him from fire and water, and decided to practice his dance steps no matter what—he could step on his own feet, but not on the feet of ladies!

With a little smugness on his beautiful face, Alan touched the back of the neck of the imperial leopard and said, "Sue you, my dance partner is a first-class flower!" Beautiful and gentle! ”

In his opinion, kind girls are beautiful and gentle, and so is his Daisy!

- Grade flower! Beautiful! Gentle!

The Imperial Leopard slammed to its feet, wandered restlessly in the pavilion for a moment, took a deep look at the stunned Allen, and then rushed into the grass without looking back, and disappeared without a trace.

(⊙o⊙) What's the situation?!

The bewildered Alan swore that he saw a trace of anger, sadness and grievance in the eyes of the big cat.

- Did you just take advantage of the fact that you were secretly touching its tail while it was closing its eyes, and it found out!!

Alan paused in regret.

- If I knew that I had been discovered, I should have touched my claws first!

Picking up the book on the stool on the other side, Alan walked back sullenly.

- I don't know if I'll have a chance to touch (touch) this beautiful big guy next time.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Back in his room, taking a shower that still hadn't washed away his irritability, Kyle sat down on the couch and picked up a history of mechas, ready to read through Guò to divert his attention.

It turned out to be a failure.

Bang bang bang! At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the guard came from outside: "Your Highness, Young Master Heller and Young Master Philos are here." ”

"Invite them in." Kyle closed the book and tossed it aside.

"Yes!"

When the door opened, the blond-haired young man was the first to enter, with the smile on his face as always, and his slightly amorous eyes swept over the table next to him, and he saw the book that had been placed at random.

- My dear Highness, every time you want to hide your anxiety or concentrate, you still have the habit of reading this mecha history! But I haven't seen it for years, and it's quite nostalgic!

Heller sat on the sofa on the other side of the sofa and complained, "Philos, this bastard, robbed my female companion again, so I had to find another one, it's a little too late, he just wants to hurt me!" ”

The accused young man sat down across from him and smiled contemptuously: "You replied to that kind of ambiguous text message with more than thirty girls, and you didn't agree, but my aunt has already asked me for help, let me save my cousin, away from you, this scourge!" ”

"What do you know, I'm pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade, it's not good to refuse them, I'm worried that I will hurt the girl's heart!"

Heller glanced at him, and then said: "Besides, when the time comes, we will enter the venue with His Highness, with the beauty who captivates the country and the city, our female companion must also choose well, otherwise it will be overshadowed by the comparison, and it will be the girl herself who is sad!" ”

Hearing him mention Kyle's dance partner, Philos couldn't help but ask, "Did Your Highness still invite Villanika this year?" ”

"Hmm."

Seeing Kyle nodding, Philos couldn't help but start thinking about Heller's crookedness.

- Do you want to tell your aunt that you should not let Penny be his dance partner, otherwise you will have to enter the arena with Veranica, the "Fairy of Lausanne", and I don't know whether to save Penny or hurt her!
