Chapter 179: Breaking the Siege

"Huh? What did you say? ”

"I mean, the steering plate has reacted, it's southeast of Duka Town, when are we leaving?" I looked at Lord Sharon and reluctantly repeated what I had just said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info I don't know what happened lately.,Lord Sharon has always been absent-minded.,Often alone in a daze.。

"I'm sorry, Lord Dingenier, I was a little dazed...... Now that we've found the whereabouts of that dragon egg, let's leave Duka tomorrow! Lord Sharon said apologetically.

I looked at her face and felt a little helpless. It stands to reason that among the people in the Holy Court, except for Gray, she is the first person I knew. She has been partnering with me for the past few years. But for some reason, I never got close to her. Although her relationship with my brother was similar to that before, I always felt that there was still some more gap in it. For example, I told her that I didn't need to call me Master Dingernier like my brother, just call me Rosa, but she still did the same, as if the name had some special meaning to her, and never said it easily. Speaking of which, I mentioned it to Gray as well. At that time, he was ridiculed: "Aren't you the same yourself?" It's always Lord Sharon who calls her, and you're actually just half a pound or eight taels. ”

Rollo has been very relaxed these days, and after basically confirming that there is no problem with the situation in this Duka Town, it is indeed time for us to leave, after all, finding the dragon egg is the most important thing for us.

That night, in order to express his gratitude and to see us off, the king held a grand reception in the palace. In the past, I was just an inconspicuous character who stayed in the corner, but this time, it was obvious that I couldn't avoid it.

Although the incident in Underwater City was basically solved by Rollo this time, the people here all put this wisdom on me, and now they all regard me as a hero to save this place. However, after the last incident, the sea people here have become deeply disgusted with demons. Pull Luo in again, that is to add to the trouble, don't mention it.

"Lord Dingenier, what is it like in the Divine Domain? Is it really as splendid as the legend suggests? A sweet aristocratic lady squeezed in front of me and asked.

I looked at the large group of girls around me, and I felt a little irritated. It's always been like this these days, no matter where I go, I'm always looking at me with adoration on my face, and most of them are noble ladies who are very squeamish, and it's really hard to get rid of.

At this time, Kona suddenly squeezed out of the girl's pile, grabbed my hand, pulled me out of the girl's pile, and took me to a less crowded corner, which saved me a lot of things.

"Thank you for helping me." I said to her.

At this time, Kona was a little speechless and stopped: "I...... Father, I want to see you. Somehow, her cheeks turned crimson.

"The king is looking for me? What's the matter? "I wondered if there was something unusual about the underwater city? It was immediately decided to see what was going on with the king.

Then the king saw where I was, and with a smile on his face and a big belly, he came to me: "Sir Dingennier, you are free! ”

"Your Majesty, what do you have to do with me?"

"Your Excellency, you see that you saved Duka Town, and you are the lifesaver of our undersea city, we don't know how to repay you......"

"This is a matter within our Holy Court, and there is no need to repay it or anything. We're leaving here tomorrow anyway, so you don't have to bother. I said.

"How does this work?" The King continued, "It's rare for us people in the undersea city to meet anyone from outside, let alone a god like you. This time you saved everyone again, and you can't say anything about leaving like this. And...... Looks like you're not married yet, right? In fact, the little girl fell in love at first sight since she first saw the adult, if she can tie the knot this time, the undersea city can be regarded as an extra layer of protection, and it will be more conducive to controlling the entire situation for your Holy Court. ”

I was slightly stunned when I heard the king's words, and turned my head to see that Kona was now looking away and full of shyness. That's when I realized what was going on. Is the King of Affection trying to marry Kona to me? And judging from everyone's reactions, it is very likely that this is something that Kona brought up, because many people have a knowing expression.

I glanced at Cona helplessly, she was now looking at me expectantly. I quickly turned my head to look at Rollo, who was busy drinking with a group of mages at this time, and he didn't have time to talk to me at all. I glanced at Lord Sharon again, but she didn't think about it at this time, and when she saw my embarrassed eyes, she walked straight over.

"Your Royal Highness, Lord Dingennier can't marry you." Lord Sharon looked at me and said with a blank face.

"Why? Am I not good enough? Kona looked at me, her face frozen, and her voice trembled.

I just felt a little tingling in my scalp and didn't know how to refuse her. In fact, I have long seen that Kona has a crush on me, so I often feel a little embarrassed when I see her, and I try to avoid getting along with her in less crowded situations. I didn't expect her to put this kind of thing on the table. It's really like she has a good character.

"Because he is already engaged. It's not early, and I think Dingenier is already a little tired, and it's time to go back and rest. After Lord Sharon said this, he gave me a hint with his eyes to leave.

I was just about to turn around, but Kona suddenly blocked in front of me, her emotions became a little excited, and her voice trembled a little: "Marriage contract? What marriage contract? I don't care, as long as you're not married, I still have a chance, don't I? ”

I looked at the crowd of onlookers and felt a little embarrassed, so I said, "Princess, don't ...... like this" Before I finished speaking, Lord Sharon grabbed my arm and took me out of the banquet hall directly. The onlookers then dispersed. Cona didn't give up, and chased after Master Sharon again, and became even more excited: "Am I not doing well enough?" I'm willing to change ...... for you."

Lord Sharon pushed me away, stood between me and Kona, and said to her, "Princess, please respect yourself, don't always do things that don't match your identity. ”

Kona's expression became a little embarrassed, and she pursed her lips, her face full of unconvinced. She looked at me and said, "So she's your fiancΓ©e?" So you like her like this...... I admit that I am not as capable as her, but I will work hard for you......"

Mistress Sharon ignored her, pulled me and left.

Back in the side hall where we lived, Lord Sharon looked at the lamp on the wall and did not speak for a long time. After a few moments, she suddenly rolled up her sleeve and pulled out a short knife.

I was a little confused: "What are you doing here?" ”

Master Sharon glanced at me and said lightly, "I'm going to get rid of this mark on my hand." After all, we are about to return to land, and it is not appropriate to keep it from our standpoint. As she spoke, she stabbed herself in her delicate hand. I quickly turned my head away from the scene, knowing that she would soon be able to repair her wounds, but it still made me feel a little unbearable to see such a scene.

She is too strong and ruthless, both to others and to herself. Always do your best when it comes to your tasks, as if you don't need to rest, and you're always busy. Even if she is occasionally free, she will not let herself be idle, and busyness seems to be the norm in her life.

And I haven't seen her smile in all these years, the most familiar expression is expressionless, obviously there seems to be endless emotion in her eyes.

I don't think anyone has ever been inside her, not even my brother. She has been lonely all these years, and the most may be her love for my brother, but since my brother's death, I am afraid that even this miss can only add to the pain.

I also thought about getting to know her and untangle her heart, but even though we had known each other for many years as partners, I didn't know anything more about her than anyone else. Whenever I tried to get to know her first, she always seemed to resist. It's as if she has built a high wall, locked her true self in the wall, and left others with nothing more than indifference.

For some reason, I always felt that there was a slight disgust in Sharon's eyes when I spoke to Kona, which I had never seen before. And in retrospect, although she didn't interact much with Kona, it was obviously different from others. Although she is indifferent to everyone, she always seems to be emotionally charged with Kona. I don't quite understand why. It stands to reason that she doesn't have to worry about anything with a little girl like Kona, right? Although Kona is indeed a little willful, conceited, and impulsive. But her nature is not bad, not to mention that she has nothing to do with Lord Sharon after all, let alone any hatred, so why would Lord Sharon treat her like this?
