Everything today is like a dream for Dimi.

After the girl left, his mood still did not calm down. He sat outside alone for a while before returning to his room.

The only regret for him today was that the maiden did not kiss him on the lips at the end.

……

King Zwick has prepared a one-bedroom suite for each guest on the clouds, ensuring that these distinguished guests can get the best rest.

Tomorrow morning...... How to say good morning to Victoria, Dimi thought distressedly. He and the girl had been together for a long time, and in the days of adventure together, he had long been accustomed to the girl being the first person he saw every morning when he woke up.

Maybe Victoria didn't like it, and there was something wrong with her title......

With that in mind, Dimi pushed open the door to his bedroom.

"Yo," the girl in the blue dress sat cross-legged on the big bed, looking at a book resting on her lap without raising her head, "You're back." ”

“……？！”

Dimi shuddered—his first thought was to suspect that he had gone to the wrong room, and then he immediately realized that he hadn't.

"What do you want," the girl raised her head dissatisfiedly, seeing Dimi standing still stupidly, "your bunk is over there." ”

She gestured to the corner of the room. A simple roll of bedding was already folded there.

"Today...... No, I will wronged you to go to sleep in the living room in the future. Lay on the floor or sleep on the sofa, it's up to you. Oh, don't look at me like that, I'm not a devout believer, but I'm ...... Oppose that kind of premarital behavior. ”

Dimi's brain crashed for a few seconds. Finally, his reason came into play, suppressing the primal impulses that were also rising, and finally converged into a cry of mixed feelings:

"Vi-Do-Li-A! Why are you here? No, I should ask why you're here, and why do you say such things in a serious way? ”

"Ahh......h A man who is in a hurry with a monkey does not end well. ”

The girl sighed.

"But, for your sincere inquiry, I will be merciful enough to explain it to you," said the girl, drawing a stack of letter papers from the book on her lap, "and this is the information I have just received from Mr. Palamedes. You should also take a look. ”

The girl jumped out of the bed. The room was covered with a thick carpet, because she was not wearing shoes, and her black stockings were directly on the carpet.

"It's ......"

"Do you want me to generalize?" The girl stuffed the information into Dimi's hand, and to put it simply, it was the two of us who rushed down the sea of clouds, which caused a sensation in the world above. ”

"Wait a minute—"

"That's right, only the traitor Lord of the Clouds and Vladimir King saw this. Unfortunately, the legendary wizard of Okade, Vladimir Kim, was a theater fan. He ignored Nicholas's advice and leaked our story," the girl pinched her waist and looked puffed out, "as if someone in the Empire had begun to write a play with us as the main characters." ”

"Wait," Dimi said "let me figure it out," "Victoria, you said drama - what story do we have?" ”

"You are stupid," the girl tapped Dimi on the head with the knuckle of her index finger, "and the two of us rushed into the sea of clouds together!" What else could it be a story? Even you've seen that kind of ......."

Her face turned red suddenly.

“…… The kind of love story of martyrdom together. You should have seen it, right? ”

Dimi was struck by lightning. He and Victoria confessed to each other, but it was only less than an hour, and the entire cloud world knew everything?

Wrong. To be exact, before that, most of the cloud world had regarded their relationship with the girl as an established fact?

"I don't care what the enemy thinks. Your return will be a great encouragement to the subjects of the Empire," said the maiden, "and as long as the whole story spreads, there is no need for us to clarify it." I、I must stay by your side as much as possible for this time to come......"

The girl lowered her head and cleared her throat.

Obviously, before Dimi came in, he had rehearsed this line three times. Why do you still stumble!

“…… Acting as the 'Emperor's Companion'. We're not officially ...... I mean," the girl, who realized that her face was rapidly turning red, changed the script she had thought of a little, praying that the panicked Dimi would not hear it, "and the more she behaved on all occasions, the more it met the expectations of the Imperial army and civilians, and thus further boosted their morale......"

She paused: "...... In short, among the rumors currently circulating in the Empire, there is a theory that we were together long before the Battle of Pure White. They would be disappointed if they saw us living in separate rooms without saying anything to each other. We'd better get used to this kind of life in advance, wouldn't we? In this way, I can also help you share some of the burden......"

The girl gushed endlessly. And Dimi has recovered from the shock.

"I understand your thoughts, Victoria," said Dimy, "and it is very good. But ......"

“…… Nothing but! It's just getting used to it in advance and hiding it! The girl was determined not to let Dimi say the words that followed the "but," ...... In short, you have been wronged to sleep outside during this time! ”

She directly used arcane magic to "suck" the cover in the corner of the wall, but the raging cloud ancient magic net directly made her use too much force, and the cannonball-like cover almost knocked her to the ground.

"Here you go, here you go!" She stuffed the whole bunk into Dimi's arms, "Take it and don't get out soon!" ”

"Victoria ......"

"Hurry, hurry!"

Dimi was helpless. For a moment, he had an urge to simply "take an inch", but he restrained it. If Victoria wanted to, she would speak, he thought.

The young emperor said goodnight to the maiden, and then left the bedroom with the bedding roll. The girl immediately closed the door and locked it—though it didn't really mean much to her and Dimi.

Overall, Dimi was much easier to talk than she thought.

A lot of preparation in advance has been done in vain.

But then again......

I've slept in the same room for several nights before...... Why absolutely not?

"Ahh......hh

She plunged headlong into the white sheets, buried her head in the pillow, and began to gurgle and roll around on the bed.

"Stupid stupid stupid!"

--------------

Early the next morning.

On the square of the Zwick royal court.

Goth and Wei waited here, and the Lord of Darkness brought them back to the clouds.

The two looked up at the "cloudy" sky.

"Well, then, I'll go back to Okad at the first opportunity," Wei asked, "won't you go with me?" ”

"When we left...... the Lord of the Clouds seemed suspicious of me," Goth said, "and I'm not a soulless like you...... To be on the safe side, I'll spend a little more time in the teacher's city. Are you going to the barracks at the front, or are you going to ......?"

Wei shook his head.

"Even if I deliberately delay, with the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night' and the 'Pale Moon', the Empire's Snow Falls Pass will not be able to be defended," Wei said, "I will return to Fusha City and see Mr. Nicholas." I have something to say to him. ”

"Beware, spells like mind-reading won't work against you, but don't let ordinary words and words dig out the truth," Goth was also really worried about leaking information like a bean, "Nicholas is very cunning......"

"I know Mr. Nicholas better than you do," Wei Yan said succinctly, "and I will be careful. ”
