"The Duke has won the award, and Dick has been with Lindsay for a long time, so he naturally knows Lindsay's thoughts well. However, on the battlefield, the tacit understanding between you and Lindsay, Lord Duke, should be unparalleled. ”

Edith smiled silently, and it was clear that Dick's words were useful. made his gloomy mood much better: "Let the dark guard stare at him a little more~ Although now he is timid and afraid of death." However, the dog is in a hurry and also goes to the wall. Don't push him too hard just yet, let him do what needs to be done. When the time comes, he will be punished for his sins......"

"Don't worry, Lord Duke."

"How long will it take for the people sent by the imperial capital to get here!" Lindsay knocked on the table and asked Edith, who calculated the time: "It's not more than ten days." ”

Lindsay nodded and stood up to leave, Edith hurriedly grabbed Lindsay: "Where are you going?" ”

"Look at Hovis's progress."

"It was going well on his side, and he told him not to bother. He was sorting out the prescription and some necessary materials. The city lord has already sent doctors over one after another...... Wait here in peace! Edith pressed Lindsay back to his seat: "I know you're in a hurry, you've been fighting outside all year round, and you're most disgusted by this kind of thing that you can't check and don't have a clue about." However, this is the case, and it can only be so when the queen comes. Lindsay, don't make yourself too anxious. ”

"Or else...... Inexplicably, there will be a disaster created by poisonous Gu in the territory of Luolan. Such a hidden danger was also dug up...... Watch them ...... like this I suddenly felt that the current Lorain was not what I wanted......"

"That's until you ascend to the throne! Remember, you're a princess now! You should relax and not think about how to govern the country every day...... Moreover, the current Loraine, the current queen, are not the same as before...... Dick! Accompany her, I'll go see how the project is progressing~"

Edith turned to leave, and Dick stood behind Lindsay and pressed Lindsay's shoulder: "Lindsay, you must rest when you should rest, don't think about anything else...... Well? ”

"I know~ Dick...... Lie down with me......"

Dick was stunned, his hand stiffened. Lindsay sneered: "It's been so long, why don't you still have the consciousness of my people at all......"

Dick's face was slightly red, and he picked up Lindsay and put him on the bed: "Sleep, I'll be with you." ”

Lindsay sighed and patted the position beside her: "Come up~ Lie down with me for a while...... You haven't had much rest all the way. Take this opportunity to make up for the sleep that should be made up~ There is no one with a secret guard outside~~ Obedient ......"

Dick, who couldn't resist Lindsay, took off his shoes and put his coat aside, and then he lay down beside Lindsay. Lindsay smiled in satisfaction and hugged Dick.

Lindsay felt the unnatural stiffness of Dick's body, and she closed her eyes and said, "Relax...... Close your eyes. ”

Dick turned around to let Lindsay sleep more comfortably. God knows how hard he endured...... Lindsay hugged Dick's waist and rested her head on his shoulder, sleeping sweetly, and she only seemed more relaxed when she was asleep. It seems that he is really tired...... Dick's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and before long he fell into a deep sleep.

When Dick opened his eyes, he saw Lindsay's face, which made him unable to relax for a moment. He blinked blankly...... Lindsey laughed and patted Dick's cheek: "What, sleep stupidly?" ”

"I ......" the calm Dick, this is the first time to show his helplessness. Lindsay was very satisfied: "You~ still say that I, obviously I am also very tired...... It was a very heavy sleep......

"I'm ......" Dick shook his head, trying to wake himself up: "How long have you been asleep~"

"It's just over two hours...... Sleeping for a while~? Dick shook his head: "No need......"

Seeing that Dick was about to get up, Lindsay pressed him back into bed and kissed him on the lips: "We don't need to be busy with anything for the time being, why are you in such a hurry...... Or are you upset about staying with me? Under the weather? ”

"It's not...... Dick is happy to be by your side...... However, I know what kind of person I am. The more I get, the more greedy I become...... When the time comes, there will be endless demands, so ...... I've never dared to break the last line of defense between you and me. If you see me like that, you'll get bored. I don't dare to try it lightly...... You know...... How I want to be like Edith to hold you in my arms and sleep with you......" Dick picked up a strand of Lindsay's hair and put it to his lips and kissed it gently, and then, his eyes were a little gloomy and fell into deep thought, Lindsay looked at him like this and reached out and patted his cheek to bring him back to his senses.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm just wondering how I can get your love when I have nothing...... I have no identity, no status...... Not as ...... as Edith and Hovis."

"Dick, you have been recruited into the palace for training since you were a child. Your honor is that you are my personal bodyguard, and in the eyes of others, your status is no worse than that of Edith and them. And these are all dependent on your own hard work and hard work, and why can't I accept you like this? You were born and died for me, and you have a deep affection for me. I love what Lindsey loves, and I never look at identity and status. Dick, put away your thoughts. You just have to remember that you belong to Lindsay. ”

"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess~~" Dick smiled softly and hugged Lindsay tightly. Dick's scent of grass permeated his nose, which made Lindsay feel reassured.

"Dick, will you tell me about yourself?" After the two were silent for a long time, Lindsay suddenly asked. Dick was slightly stunned: "Me? What do I have to say...... Ordinary people are just ......"

"I want to know, to know about you, Dick."

"......," Dick muttered after a moment of silence, "I was born in a very ordinary family, with an older brother and a younger sister. My parents made a living from farming to support our family. Looking back, it was my happiest and most carefree day. Help with household chores every day and take care of younger siblings...... Our village is located in a remote area, and the land is not so fertile, but we can barely get by. But the good times did not last long, drought and famine, and gradually the people in the village left one after another, wanting to find a new life and a new way out. But my family has never left the village for generations, so they just persevered, hoping to get through it. However, the reality is harsh. My mother was tired and sick, and my brother left the village to make ends meet and never returned...... What happened to him, no one knows. It is not known whether he is alive or dead. ”

Lindsey grabbed Dick's shirt and tugged at it. Sensing Lindsay's strangeness, he smiled and patted Lindsay's back: "It's over...... Don't be upset...... If you're like this, I won't say it, and it will make you sad. ”

Lindsay shook her head: "Dick...... And then ......"

"Later......" Dick had a sad look in his eyes: "Later, my mother's illness became more and more serious, and my father used up the family's savings in order to treat my mother's illness, and he also sold some of his belongings but failed to save his mother's life. My little sister also starved to death because of that famine...... In this way, my father couldn't accept the blow and his body collapsed. I can't help it, I don't have anything of value in my house, I don't have food. In order to satisfy my stomach, I even went to steal and rob. I gave what little food I had to my father, who saw that I was losing weight and losing my spirit. He seemed to know everything and stopped eating, and he wouldn't open his mouth no matter how much I begged him. It didn't take long for my father to leave. There were only a few old and weak women and children left in the village, and I became an orphan, and no one would care about the life or death of others in those days...... I buried my father and began to wander around. A few times he almost died, and well-meaning people would give him some money or food, but some people would not want to get the money or food in their hands, so he would be played like a monkey. I'm very stubborn, so I'm often beaten all over my body. That winter...... It was cold and I almost froze to death on the street, but it was the dean who was passing by who rescued me and took me to the orphanage...... After that, he was sent to the palace for training......"

Dick felt a warmth in his chest as he finished speaking. Dick hurriedly pushed Lindsay away and looked at Lindsay in surprise with tears streaming down his face. The placket on his chest was wet with Lindsay's tears: "Lindsay, why are you crying......" Dick got up and gently helped Lindsay up to wipe her tears.

Lindsey choked up and hugged Dick tightly with both hands: "While I was free of food and clothing, you were suffering and sinning. While we were gathered around the fireplace, you were suffering from hunger and cold...... Dick ...... I didn't expect you to have such a hard time. ”

Looking at Lindsay's crystal tears, Dick's heart slammed. Lindsey rarely shed tears...... No matter how serious the injury is, how much grievance she has suffered, she is stubborn and arrogant, and she never allows herself to cry. Crying, she said, is the most incompetent and cowardly of all. She would shed tears for herself like this.

"Don't cry...... It's because I didn't know that I shouldn't have told you these ......" The woman in her arms twitched her body. Tears flowed down Dick's neck, and Dick's heart was pinched together: "Don't want your eyes? It's all gone...... Now I'm very happy and content. ”

Lindsay sniffed and looked up at Dick: "Can everything settle down, let's go to your hometown to worship your family." If you agree, move them to the Imperial Capital Cemetery for burial. That way, you can go to see them whenever you want......"

Dick looked at Lindsay in a daze, she thought about herself like this, cried for him and felt sorry for him.

"Lindsay......" Dick wiped away Lindsay's tears: "Thank you......"

"Fool, thank you for what. You are my future husband! …… Ah......" Dick overpowered Lindsay, causing Lindsay to exclaim, "Originally...... I didn't want it that fast, but I want you...... Is it okay......" A hot and wet kiss landed on Lindsay's cheek and lips, and Lindsay smiled softly and nodded: "Hmm! (To be continued.) 2k reading web
