After a while in the study that day, the relationship between Zheng Ming and Arthur entered a delicate state.

Zheng Ming knew that Arthur, who was the king, would surely fall deeper and deeper into this forbidden relationship once he had a relationship with him. Obviously, this is not what the duo wanted.

So there is no intimate contact and venting of desire, and the relationship between the two is more like a spiritual romance, more pure.

Arthur is still her Celtic king, hiding her gender. Zheng Ming knew that at least until he defeated the rest of the kingdoms and waited until Arthur gave way, this relationship would not change.

But he never tired of it, and even got fascinated by it. There is no need to be one, two independent people accompany each other, miss each other, attract each other, and protect each other, this comfortable relationship is something Zheng Ming has never experienced, so much so that he is addicted to it.

Zheng Ming would hold the book and read it silently while Arthur was reading the letter. And Arthur will also watch Zheng Ming sweat like rain on the side when he is exercising. The occasional misdirected gaze, as well as the slightest small movement on weekdays, seem to contain secrets that belong to the two of them, like sweet wine, which makes the two linger.

Whenever others feel that the inseparable two have a close relationship and deserve to be dragon riders, the two will look at each other and smile, and there is a trace of lack of happiness with outsiders in their hearts. After all, they have a secret that belongs to the two of them, and this insignificant commonality seems especially sweet at the beginning of the relationship.

Time flies by in the midst of their hazy and beautiful platonic romance. During this period, the form of each country also ushered in a huge transformation.

In March 1024, the Island Alliance in the Far East spread the news that the Sea Dragon Kraken and its lord Blue Tooth were killed by his subordinates in collaboration with the powerhouses of the Adler Kingdom.

As the kingdom of the archipelago alliance, they originally occupied a unique geographical advantage.

When the Ronan Kingdom and the Adler Kingdom joined forces to blockade Haikou, they only needed to survive on the island for a while, and when the kingdoms on the mainland were almost finished, they would jump out and pick up the bargain.

Their Wang Lanya knew this very well and did the same. However, the right and wise decisions cannot stand up to internal troublemaking.

The Island Alliance is more of a group of pirates and merchants than warriors.

Seeing that the originally expensive goods in the hands cannot be digested internally, nor can they be traded externally, they will rot over time. The lords of the islands, who had suffered their own losses, complained. In addition, the goods in the hands of some people are easy to preserve, and the goods in the hands of some people are rotten in less than ten days. The difference in losses has further aroused the grievances in their hearts.

As a result, some people stealthily made contact with the Adler Kingdom. As a kingdom with a large coastal territory, although Adler's kingdom was not as prosperous as Ronan, it was enough to mitigate their losses.

The secret trade between the two sides went well. Although the price is suppressed, at least some gold will be obtained compared to letting the goods rot.

However, the good times did not last long, and the news of the secret trade was inexplicably leaked out, and some of the island owners who engaged in the secret trade became known to the king.

The Bluetooth King, who learned of this, was furious. The actions of his lord amounted to betrayal to him.

What happened next is easy to understand, it is nothing more than that the owners of the island are worried about their situation when they hear the news that the king is going to execute the betrayer. In the end, he united with the kingdom of Adler and killed the king while he was unprepared.

Immediately after the battle of Dorne that day, it completely broke with the Ryan Kingdom, and the friction continued, and the Adler Kingdom released the news that it was willing to sell the Kraken dragon corpse at a high price.

Dragons can indeed be used to make tough weapons and armor due to their hard scales and claw bones, but their price is nowhere near the astronomical amount proposed by King Adam.

However, he was not worried, as he expected, King Arthur of Celtic soon received the news and came with the intention of buying it.

So Fox of the Golden Cup, who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, met with King Adam as an envoy representing the Celtic kingdom.

Later, Fawkes, who returned to the royal capital, brought back the gold coins he had brought with him, along with the news that the kingdoms of Ryan and Ronan had formed an alliance and turned their attention to the Celtic kingdom. At the same time, it also brought with it a pact of equality that had not yet been signed.

Arthur gave Zheng Ming the corpse of the sea dragon as a gift from Adam, and readily accepted Adler's request for an alliance.

In this way, while Zheng Ming devoured the corpse of the sea dragon, and the ancient dragon form was further improved and strengthened, the wind and clouds on the continent surged. The forces of all sides have changed from the original chaotic war to a situation of confrontation between two behemoths.

In this way, while the two camps were recuperating and recovering from the losses caused by the previous war, a major event occurred in the kingdom again.

Another dragon of the Celtic kingdom, Einzfil, the lord of the red dragon Ralton, announced his marriage to Jayland, the most powerful nobleman of the Tulip family except for Lancelotchin.

And it was this grand wedding celebrated by the whole country that brought a violent impact to the platonic love affair between Arthur and Zheng Ming.

It has to be said that human desires are difficult to fill.

When the relationship between the two parties becomes closer and more certain, who will be willing to have a nominal relationship all the time, and secretly flirt with people all the time?

Not only for Zheng Ming, but also for Arthur.

Seeing Einzfield wearing a beautiful white wedding dress, under the blessing of the dragon god, he threw himself into Jaylander's arms like an elf, and kissed him with a happy face, Arthur's face showed a look of envy.

It's something she's always dreamed of. No, she didn't even dare to imagine it in her dreams.

And all of Arthur's performances were seen by Zheng Ming. He crept up to her and gently took her hand.

Feeling the cold and smooth touch in his hand, Zheng Ming was startled and turned his head to look at Arthur and smiled slightly.

"Our wedding will be even more beautiful and happy than this, I promise."

Arthur only felt that she was almost melted by those warm dark purple eyes, and two red clouds rose on her face, and she whispered a soft sneer.

"I don't remember promising to marry you."

Speaking of this, she couldn't stand the corners of Zheng Ming's mouth that didn't break, she lowered her head shyly, and then she thought of something, and hurriedly looked around vigilantly.

Fortunately, everyone present was attracted by the couple in the words, and no one seemed to notice the small movements here. Seeing that no one was looking at this, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and pulled his hand out of Zheng Ming.

"Hey......

Arthur couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zheng Ming, who was chuckling softly, and Zheng Ming was also attracted by Arthur's charming demeanor.

They were immersed in the world of the two, but they didn't notice that a pair of eyes were staring at them not far away, observing their every move.
