Chapter 006: Nadine

The Golden Temple, which has nothing to do with glory, is at best a large tavern and brothel. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a drinking environment, Nadine soon got tired of the crowds and noise. The only reason he didn't leave here was because there was a woman in the Golden Hall that he was familiar with.

The smell of beer filled the Golden Temple, and just like that, a mixture of talking, laughter, and scolding mingled in Nadine's ears. The effect of alcohol makes every smell, every sight, and every sound in front of him absorb all of his big nose, and this double sensory impact makes people dizzy.

"Israel's son, is it really such a child? But you know what, Nadine, I've heard since I was a kid that people with the ancient 'primordial wisdom' are like that, they have the mind of an adult from birth, and they are not children at all except for the body. My mother told me that people with original wisdom always know too much, and even more when they grow up. Mortals have the wisdom of the gods, and at first it seems like a good thing, but after a long time, there will be no humanity left in him at all. How can I say it......"

She paused, "The final ending is terrifying, and when he grows up, whoever sees him will not think that he was once a person." So, a long time ago, it was not a crime to hunt down and burn these people. Even now, the sacrifices of the gods hunt down this alien. ”

From the bits and pieces of conversation, Nadine realized that he was drunk and that he had said something he shouldn't have said when he was in a state of confusion.

Even though he knew that the woman in front of him wouldn't get his words out, Nadine immediately changed his words, "Nellie, please forgive me. No matter how I'm doing right now, I shouldn't have lowered myself to the level of talking crazy things. I shouldn't blame a kid for even fantasizing about him having some ancient primordial wisdom. With that, Nadine gulped down the remnants of the glass, and gnawed the remaining bones clean.

And the woman who Nadine calls Nellie seems to believe Nadine's words. Later, she lifted up two thin arms and lifted the rickety Nadine to find a fairly secluded room in the 'Golden Palace'.

"I don't have any money, are you in trouble?" As he walked in, Nadine suddenly asked Nellie.

"Trouble?" She snorted disdainfully. "It depends. If the man in charge of my caretaker had stayed awake long enough to find me, I might have been in a little trouble, but chances are he'll get drunk again tonight, chances are! She repeated it firmly, as Nadine wanted to say no.

Although Nadine, a soldier, knew how to exercise restraint, the blanket next to the fire and watching Nellie undress suddenly seemed extremely tempting, so the two hugged and rolled around until they could no longer move, and Nadine fell asleep under the light of the fire behind him.

As Nadine snores and sleeps, Nellie has a mixture of admiration and sadness on her face.

In memory......

"Run, Nellie, I'll stop them. The next time the tide washes out the nest of the seaweed crab, I'll remember to look for you. ”

Nellie was separated from Nadine when she was 15 years old. When they reunite years later, Nellie herself is trapped in the Golden Palace, and Nadine is a ridiculous Prince Guard without the Prince.

"Nellie, I swear by my honor and the glory of being a soldier that I will redeem you from this hateful and filthy place and be my wife." This sentence two years ago made Nellie cry and feel sad alone for countless nights.

Drinking too much alcohol caused the world to shake violently around Nadine, and his blurred vision fused into sparks.

It wasn't until he jerked forward that he realized that it was already getting dark.

"You're leaving?" Nellie said softly.

"Take care of the prince's children, that's all I can do." Nadine smiled wryly.

"Obviously, every time you win my affection, then you leave me. I'm assuming you'll marry me one day, so I'll wait for you. ”

Nadine leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, "It will." ”

Leaving the Golden Temple, Nadine made his way through the winding streets to find an uphill path in the direction of the palace, thinking as he went, "If Evil Eye's leg could really be healed, he would be able to ride a horse, hunt, and even walk." ”

It must be very uncomfortable for any man to not be able to walk. As far as Nadine knew, Evil Eye had never complained to anyone, but then again, Nadine couldn't imagine anyone Evil Eye could complain to when he stayed in the house all day.

"Hey, Nadine. Good morning! ”

Arriving at the outer area of the royal palace, Nadine was greeted by someone.

"Nadine, where did you go last night and be happy."

Among the people who greeted him, Nadine could already tell who was a talker and who was a scoundrel, who could use his free time to make extra money, and who would laugh at him when he asked him to borrow money. Nadine also knows which chef to get some food from, and which reserve warehouses in the East End are easiest to steal.

After a few corners, a group of patrolling guards left Nadine's line of sight, and his attention was drawn to the large crowd of people in front of him.

Most of the people who walked in front of Nadine were servants and cooks, and there were also guards wearing chain mail. At first, Nadine watched them come and go with a weary curiosity, until he realized that his home had been burned down and reduced to a pile of ashes.

"That's ......"

Many people are talking about why only this house was destroyed by fire, while the stables next to it were spared.

Instead of thinking about what people were talking about, Nadine rushed into the rubble desperately, knowing that he had found six unrecognizable adult corpses and no trace of the Evil Eye.

"Don't worry, Nadine, it's been checked, and no illegitimate ...... was found in it"

"Get out—" Nadine punched him in the stomach. No one was surprised by the attitude he displayed when he was angry. Anyone who knows Nadine well knows his loyalty to his predecessor, who has been caring for the disabled prince's illegitimate son for three years.

The man who was punched by Nadine wanted to take revenge, but seeing Nadine's eyes burning and his forehead flushed, he shrugged his shoulders and thought about it, why bother to provoke someone who is not easy to mess with. Even as the stableman stumbled out of the stable, Nadine's body was shaking uncontrollably, and he knew he was angry just by the way he stood.

――――――

"I've finally found you, and I'm glad you're safe. But what do you do in the stables? ”

"What am I doing here?" Evil Eye was awakened, and his voice was as tense as Nadine's. But later recalling last night, he was quickly relieved and joked, "What am I doing here, how do I know what I'm going to do here?" Nadine, you ask, how can I say that? ”

"Okay, if you can't tell, then let me say it!" Nadine roared, and it was only then that Evil Eye could fully feel how he had suppressed his anger, and that Nadine had drunk a lot of alcohol last night.

"If I stayed here last night so that I could watch you, then at least I could do my part, and I would make sure that His Highness Israel's son would grow up to adulthood, and not become a dead body before he became an adult. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate to do it! ”

Anger made Nadine's tone cold, but it also made the evil eye feel it.

During the three years that he had memories of the world, Nadine's presence was a constant, and he took care of himself like a hound, a horse, eating, drinking, grooming, exercising, and in this case, he would fix himself on the back of the horse and lead him around.

These memories will never become very blurry, details such as bathing and changing clothes are generally imprinted in his mind and will never fade, these things are calm and normal in the eyes of ordinary children, but in the eyes of the evil eye, they are something that he will always remember.

"Calm down, Nadine. Needless to say, you should know who it is. It's not the first time that His Royal Highness has found fault with the high-ranking prince. Also, maybe not everything is as bad as you think. ”

Evil Eye shook his head slowly, feeling helpless at Nadine's roar. He clasped his hands on his knees, and then slowly stood up, his figure majestically enveloping Ut, the hound, who was sticking out his tongue next to him.

Nadine froze in place, "You, you really healed your legs!?" His tone was a mixture of disdain and disbelief. After receiving confirmation from the Evil Eye, a moment later, a feeling of relief hit Nadine's entire mind like a tidal wave.
