"Your Highness, when is it?" Claudia looked up and asked, a little confused.

"You've slept for more than an hour." After Gianna woke up the girl, she returned to the table and changed into a more comfortable position to continue reading, with a few snacks on a small plate next to her.

I really envy Gianna's life of being corrupt anytime and anywhere.

The girl rubbed her eyes and washed her face with cold water, then took a blue cloth uniform from the luggage she had retrieved in the morning, changed into it, and said goodbye to Gianna before leaving the camp.

When Claudia came out of the tent, she found that it was night, the stars were shining, the moon was walking behind the gauzy clouds, and the cool breeze was blowing, and the girl felt a chill and came to her senses.

It's almost time to rest, is there anything Varian is looking for me so late?

It shouldn't be that, right?

Claudia shuddered, and immediately wanted to turn around and call Gianna together, she didn't know how to deal with the relationship with the king, although if the king wanted to use force, she could only admit many things such as friendship, kindness and family, but if that was the case, she would always feel very regretful, after all, she had not fallen in love with each other yet.

No, you can't scare yourself, Your Majesty doesn't look like that kind of person, and he also fought all afternoon and should be very tired, and he has to meet with the Night Elves tomorrow, maybe His Majesty just wants to ask about the Night Elves, how can he trouble His Highness because of inexplicable speculation.

Claudia comforted herself and went to Varian's quarters, which were a much smaller round tent than the Chinese tent used to discuss military affairs this morning, and the adjutant Devon was outside the door.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, so I won't follow up yet." Devin said to the girl with a little deep meaning that he had heard what happened to Arthur last time, and had made up his mind that not only could he not follow up tonight, but that he must stay away from him so as not to hear some sounds that he should not hear.

Claudia's face turned a little red when she heard this, and she lowered her head and pushed the door into the king's tent.

Varian's tent was much simpler than Gianna's, and Varian didn't spend money like Gianna on a magic tent that he didn't think was useful, nor did he have a bunch of free Arcane servants as servants like Gianna, so the king's tent had nothing to offer other than a square wooden table and two chairs, plus a marching bed, and the black-haired monarch was standing at the table thoughtfully.

When the girl pushed the door in, he didn't notice the faint flush on Claudia's face, and he beckoned to the girl, "Claudia, come here." ”

Seeing that Varian was thinking about something, the girl's nervousness dissipated a lot, and she walked across from the king and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are summoning me?" ”

"Well, I'm going to meet with the Night Elves tomorrow, so tell me more about what you know about the Night Elves."

Sure enough, it was the Night Elves, Claudia breathed a sigh of relief, and recounted in detail what she had seen and heard in Astrana, but soon she noticed that Varian had listened a little absent-mindedly, and had even asked the same question twice in succession, and he didn't look like he wanted to know anything, but more like he just wanted to talk to her.

After a while, seeing that it was not early, and that the king was not on official business here, Claudia tentatively took her leave: "Your Majesty, this is all I know, it's already late, why don't I go back first, and you will rest early?" ”

To the girl's surprise, Varian immediately rejected her request: "No, you stay a little longer. ”

Why didn't you let me go back so late, it didn't really mean to stay overnight?

The girl let out a feeble wail in her heart, and her white jade-like face quickly flushed and begged again: "Your Majesty, I have to go back, otherwise it will affect Her Highness Gianna's rest." ”

Faced with Claudia's request again, Varian did not agree, but turned his gaze away and asked a question, intentionally or unintentionally: "What are you going to do with Archmage Crassus in the afternoon?" ”

The maiden, who had never been in love, did not hear the king's meaning, and replied briefly and truthfully because she was anxious to leave: "I have something to say to him." ”

"What's the matter?" The king asked.

Why do you ask this, I promised to keep it a secret, regardless of Crassus's identity or the content of our chat.

"It's not convenient for me to say."

Varian, who didn't get the news of it, looked up at Claudia, and was visibly displeased when he saw that the girl's face was flushed, and he raised his voice and asked, "What's inconvenient to say?" ”

What's wrong with you?

Seeing that Varian was obviously in a bad mood, Claudia, who didn't want to anger him, lowered her head: "I can't lie, so I can only stop talking, Your Majesty, those have nothing to do with state affairs, why do you have to know?" ”

In the afternoon, he went to his residence with Crassus, who was known for his handsomeness, and there was a silent enchantment that had not come out for a long time, and there was a suspicious flush and a weak bow of heart just now, and Wari became more and more irritable when he thought of these clues, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly hugged the girl and blurted out a subconscious sentence: "Because you are mine!" ”

The girl with her head bowed was caught off guard by his strong arms, and Varian's naked confession immediately made her lose her mind.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The girl who felt the sound of the other party's heartbeat gradually came back to her senses, and found that her entire upper body was still close to the other party's arms, and she suddenly became shy, she didn't dare to struggle, her face was still buried in the other party's chest and prayed softly: "Your Majesty, can you let me go." ”

"Can't!" Varian directly refused, anyway, some words were said and hugged in a hurry just now, so you might as well hug it for a while, the soft and elastic female body does feel good.

Sure enough, it was a bed.

I'm really unwilling.

A little anger appeared in the girl's heart, and then she reluctantly resigned to her fate, she closed her eyes and pressed her face to the other's chest and waited for the other party's further movements, and after a long time only heard the king ask, "What is your relationship with Crassus?" ”

Why are you still asking this?

Claudia suppressed the anger, reluctance and helplessness in her heart and replied: "I have nothing to do with him, I only spoke to him for the first time today." ”

What the?

This answer was obviously a surprise to Varian, and he immediately realized that he was wrong, and he let go of Claudia and tried to apologize: "Sorry, I just ....... ”

Claudia, who had escaped the King's grasp, was glad to have escaped, but she was a little surprised to hear Varian's apology, and repeated everything the King had said.

Repeatedly asked about me and Crassus, and finally apologized.

Claudia then understood what had happened, and after remembering the king's confession, she did not want to continue to run away, but wanted to understand something.

The girl looked up at the king and mustered up the courage to ask, "Varian, in private, can I call you that?" ”

"Of course you can."

"Varian, I heard what you just said, I want to ask you, why do you like me?"

Varian looked down at the girl in front of her, although she blushed with shame because of what had just happened, but her eyes were determined, it was obvious that this issue was very important to her, Varian said in the girl's concerned gaze, "You are so beautiful...... ”

Is that all?

Claudia was suddenly disappointed, this was not the answer she wanted.

Varian didn't notice the subtle changes in Claudia's face, he was recalling the past images of the girl in his heart: the girl who broke into the palace for the sake of the disaster victims when they first met, the girl who used history to admonish him in front of him, the girl who passed on his love and courage to himself, the girl who radiated on the battlefield, the girl who could entrust his back with peace of mind......

Varian laughed from the bottom of his heart and continued to praise: "In you, I see in you a myriad of beauty, such as hope, bravery, strength, independence, wisdom, kindness, etc., and you are like a brilliant diamond in the sun, radiating dazzling and shining!"

Hearing Varian's compliment, she looked at the king with wide eyes in disbelief, only to see him smiling gently in response to the girl, making her feel incredibly warm and reliable, a feeling she had never received in anyone else.

After a moment, Claudia lowered her head in a panicked look and said softly with emotion, "Thank you, Varian, thank you." ”

Yes, thank you.

Thank you for giving me the answer I really wanted.

Thank you for understanding me.

Then the girl raised her head with shyness and joy, and gave Varian a bright smile: "Varian, I don't look good, and you have to let me go back to rest." ”

Varian laughed, "I'm sorry for delaying your rest, remember to come early tomorrow." ”

"Well, I will." Claudia turned to leave, but Varian finally added, "Plus, you're the prettiest girl to me." ”

"Thank you, goodbye, Varian."

Claudia said goodbye and left Varian's quarters, laughing inexplicably several times on the way back.

When she returned to Gianna's residence, she found that Gianna had finished reading the entire book, and was facing an archmage who was sleepy with spell runes and couldn't open his eyes, yawning and saying, "Why have you been here for so long, I thought you wouldn't be back tonight." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, something is dragging on, let's rest quickly."

When the two of them got into bed and lay down, Gianna gave Claudia an extra pillow: "Hold it, I'm sleepy, I've got to get a good night's sleep tonight." ”

However, Gianna, who was bent on sleeping, still failed to do so, and Claudia next to her tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't sleep without talking, and from time to time she laughed like a silver bell like a convulsion.

He was awakened many times, and finally the archmage who couldn't bear it anymore successfully fell asleep after releasing a silent enchantment on the knight girl.

I can't prevent it, I can't sleep with Claudia in the future!

Gianna, who has always been good-natured, silently made up her mind before falling asleep.
