Britney is gone. There was no send-off, no real goodbye. Just disappeared silently, without a trace.

Suddenly, one day, Zheng Ming's room was no longer broken into for no reason, and when no one pestered him during the march, he felt as if something was missing, and at the same time, he also noticed that most of the members of the Independent Regiment had disappeared without a trace.

Players seem to have gotten used to this. They remained silent as if nothing had happened, and did not show the slightest abnormality.

And Zheng Ming's soldiers didn't seem to be aware of the players who had disappeared for nearly half of them.

Under Zheng Ming's constant questioning, they couldn't say anything other than a vague impression of the sexy women around Zheng Ming. And even this vague impression is rapidly fading with the passage of time.

If it weren't for the wine and green certificate left by Britney in his hand as evidence, there would really be a sense of Nanke's dream.

In this way, Zheng Ming, who was in a hurry along the way, finally heard the good news that washed away the melancholy in his heart after returning to the royal capital.

Queen Gwynna is pregnant. After many years, the queen finally conceived the king's heir, and the kingdom finally had a successor. After this announcement, the whole country rejoiced, and the ministers, who were anxious that there would be no successor to the queen, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Those who secretly spread rumors and shook the hearts of the people also reined in their voices and hibernated.

After returning to the royal capital, Zheng Ming rushed into the palace as soon as possible. Broke into Arthur's study.

"Yes, you. I'm charging on the front lines, you're good. Make man in the royal palace. ”

Before Arthur could stand up and greet him, Zheng Ming pounced on him with a big grin, hugged Arthur's neck and shook it violently.

"Alright. Are you trying to strangle me? ”

Arthur, who couldn't dodge being hugged by Zheng Ming, smiled bitterly and patted Zheng Ming's arm. Feeling that Zheng Ming's arm was no longer strong, he immediately broke free.

After taking a few steps back, Arthur looked Zheng Ming up and down a few times, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad. It's a bit of a man. You've been on this trip. ”

"Of course. You're not bad~ Although you're still a little bit, you're going to be a father. I didn't expect you to be more than a man in appearance. Congratulations, congratulations. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Ming also stretched out his hand and gestured to Arthur, who knew the position of his chest.

For Zheng Ming's actions that are neither big nor small, Arthur has no intention of blaming. The longer he sat on this throne, the more he noticed that the people around him were drifting away from him.

Only Naru will maintain this friend-like attitude as always.

Thinking like this, the smile on Arthur's face was even bigger, and looking at Zheng Ming, who was still triumphant because of his height advantage in front of him, he took advantage of his unpreparedness to punch the other party's chest.

"Stop making a fuss."

"Yoh? Still shy? ”

While laughing, Arthur noticed a tightness in his chest, and was stunned, and took a few steps back, seeing Zheng Ming's smug expression after unceremoniously returning a punch, what is the majesty and aristocratic demeanor of the Wang family, and he suddenly forgot about it.

Seeing Arthur pounce in annoyance, Zheng Ming suppressed him in the blink of an eye by virtue of his strength and strength.

"Haah~, little bit, now is not the time for you to hammer me."

While playing, Arthur had been pressed to the ground by Zheng Ming. Just as Zheng Ming's limbs were lying on Arthur's body to suppress the other party, and he wanted to taunt a few words, he suddenly found that the struggle under him was constantly decreasing.

"You ......"

It was only at this time that Zheng Ming found that the red on Arthur's face had spread to the roots of his ears, and his fluctuating eyes reflected his stunned self. And after Arthur noticed Zheng Ming's gaze, he desperately tilted his head to the side. Due to the close proximity, the fine hairs behind the ears and neck are clearly visible.

"Uh...... Well...... Ahem. It's no fun if you don't resist. ”

Saying some nonsense that even he couldn't figure out the meaning, Zheng Ming let go of Arthur with a strange expression and quickly got up.

"Uh...... So what...... You're busy with your affairs, so I won't bother you if I have something to do. And congratulations, you're going to be a father. ”

The two stood with their heads bowed for a while, relatively speechless. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward because of the previous events, Zheng Ming hurriedly left his blessings and fled.

For some reason, Zheng Ming, who was inexplicably weak-hearted, didn't dare to stay in the palace for long, and rushed straight to the mansion that Arthur gave him. The guards and servants, who had not been able to greet him along the way, rushed into his room at a gallop, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he closed the door.

Zheng Ming, who was leaning against the door, stroked his heart that was still beating rapidly, and his face was full of weirdness.

"What's wrong with me? Am I really bent? ”

Thinking of this, Zheng Ming shook his head again and again and slapped his cheek fiercely.

"Nope! No way. Zheng Ming, you are not bent. You haven't shown any potential for this before. Wake up, this is not for you. And Arthur is a man, he has a wife, and now he has children. ”

After thinking about it, Zheng Ming recalled the scene just now. Thinking of that beautiful face with a smoky eye and a faint flattering appearance, Zheng Ming muttered angrily: "Damn, isn't it just an ordinary fight?" What is he shy of? It's like I'm not normal. ”

What Zheng Ming, who was full of complaints, didn't know was that on the other side of the palace, Arthur, who was complained by him, was no better at this time.

Arthur, who returned to the desk after Zheng Ming fled the door, returned to the table the information that he couldn't see in his hand. He held his hot cheeks in a daze.

"What's wrong with me? It scared Naruto away. I don't know what he'll think. ”

As if thinking of something, Arthur frantically ruffled his hair and lay down on the table as if deflated. The letters on his desk flew all over the ground under his push, but at this time he didn't want to pay attention to it, and just put his head between his arms. It seemed as if he could escape what had already happened.

"How will you explain it next time you see him? I'm weird that he must be fighting each other, right? Didn't you already make up your mind to dedicate your life to the Kingdom and its people? Didn't you say a long time ago that you were going to abandon yourself? Now this is not the attitude of a king. ”

There was a knock on the door as he muttered to himself, followed by a gentle female voice with a hint of apology.

"Can I come in, king?"

Hearing the voice outside the door, Arthur's originally changing and rich expression quickly converged and changed to calm. The majesty of being a king resurfaced from him.

"Oh, it's Gwynna. Is there something wrong? ”

"Wang, I see that you are busy in the study all day long, and I have specially prepared food for you."

"No need. I'm not too hungry. And if you are pregnant, you should pay more attention to your body for the sake of your child. ”

Hearing this, Gwynna's hand that was about to push the door open stopped in mid-air. Her lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but it turned into a sigh.

"Okay. I know. You also pay attention to rest. ”

Arthur in the room heard the movement of turning outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Gwyna...... In fact...... You don't have to do that. ”

Outside the door, Gwyna heard the call to stop, and her eyes quickly dimmed when she heard the words. She smiled self-deprecatingly, waved off the servants who wanted to take the food box, and walked away with difficulty.
