Perhaps because of the sun in the afternoon, the evening sky was very clear.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, Badr had finished his day's work, put down his quill and slowly reclined himself in his chair for a nap.

But before he could rest for a while, he suddenly remembered something, so he opened the notebook on his right hand and looked up one by one.

Seeing the top row of the notebook, he finally remembered that he had forgotten something, it turned out that his uncle Shu He had dinner together at night.

Badr's wife died of illness shortly after her marriage, and out of nostalgia for her deceased, he never married a wife, and he had no children under his knees, and his uncle must have asked him to eat for this purpose.

I heard that the Black Queen had competed not long ago, and she was a distant granddaughter of a marquis.

Thinking of this, Badr felt his head grow again.

For the purposes of the lineage, he had to marry a woman.

He believes that love needs to be managed, and what he lacks most now is time.

How should I deal with Uncle Shuhe?

Badr walked out of the study with a frown, and seeing that His Majesty was in a bad mood, the two palace maids followed Badr in fear until they reached the dormitory.

"Prepare the carriage and go to Uncle Guo's."

Badr waved his hand and bowed his head into the dormitory.

Taking off his heavy clothes, Badr picked out a white coat and draped it over his body, then sat down in front of the mirror and applied some white powder to his face.

After being the emperor for so long, he still hasn't gotten used to letting the palace maids serve him.

After finishing his makeup, Badr wiped his hands with a rag and turned to leave.

There was another fluttering sound by the window, and the sound was familiar.

Badr turned around and saw a black falcon crouching in front of the window.

Of course, he remembered this black falcon, which had come half a month ago, and at the same time brought a crucial piece of news.

In anticipation, Badr beckoned the falcon to stop in his hand and held a peanut to the falcon's mouth.

The falcon turned its head and let out a rapid cry.

Sure enough, it won't eat what strangers hand it over.

Badr put down the peanut, quickly untied the letter box at the feet of the falcon, and just took out the note inside, the falcon spread its wings and soon flew away.

With the last rays of the setting sun, Badr unfolded the note, which contained only four words.

- "The storm has come. ”

Seeing these four words, Badr's temples jumped.

He quickly put away the note and looked around.

There was silence in the dormitory, but he felt that the person handing the note was beside him, and that he saw the situation quite thoroughly.

He seems to want to defect to himself, but he is afraid of being exposed.

Just who is that person? And who is the one who holds him hostage?

"The storm is coming."

Badr muttered the words on the note, then placed it in the brazier.

Seeing the note burn out in the brazier and pulling a bracelet from under the sheets, Badr walked briskly out of the dormitory.

The carriage outside the door was ready.

......

Dinner was even more lively than expected.

In addition to Shu He's two children, there was another person at the table, a beautiful girl in a dress, and I don't know if she was cold or not.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing Badr, the three of them stood up nervously, and Badr bowed slightly and sat down in the first place.

Although the evening was fine, Badr was still in such a hurry, he raised his glass and looked at Schuch.

"It's been hard work for Duke Shuhe during this time, Rong Zhen will give you a drink."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Shu He, who was on the left, stood up in fear, and after clinking glasses with Badr, he said in a low voice.

"This is Miss Aegina, who was number one in the previous competition."

Fearing to cause Badr to be unhappy, Shuhe cleverly avoided the title of Black Queen in his address to Aegina.

As he had done on previous occasions, Badr smiled politely and threw his head back from his drink.

After becoming emperor, Badr inexplicably learned to greet each other, and he and Shu He talked enthusiastically for a while, and then raised his glass to look at the girl beside him, who was like a budding flower.

I don't know if it's my own delusion or something else, she is a bit like her ex-wife.

"Your Majesty."

Aegina stood up with a blushing face, her hand holding the glass trembling slightly.

Badr touched her lightly, and said lightly.

"Congratulations, Black Queen Aegina."

With His Majesty's encouragement, the flush on Aegina's face spread to the base of her ears, and when Badr had raised her glass, she raised her glass and drank the red wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Shu He was already a little drunk, he gave his wife a look, and she quickly left.

"Badr,"

Shuhe said vaguely, "The Venadas have retreated, shouldn't you think about something more important?" ”

Badr whispered.

"Uncle, Lucasor City is still in the hands of the Venadans, and I have to guard against it."

But he knew what his uncle meant, so he turned to look at Aegina.

"Miss Aegina, after this busy day, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to invite you to go out together."

Aegina nodded, revealing the girl's itchy shyness.

"Your Majesty, it is my pleasure."

Seeing that Shuch still wanted to pour himself wine, Badr waved his hand.

"I can't drink anymore."

Shu He put down the wine cup and laughed twice.

"Your Majesty must be thinking of me, an old fellow, Aegina, then you pour your Majesty a bar."

After a moment's hesitation, Badr did not stop Aegina.

In the past half a month, everything has changed in the direction I expected, and the occasional indulgence is also forgivable.

After the dinner, everyone sat down in the attic on the third floor to admire the moon, and Shuhe casually made an excuse and left, leaving only Badr and Aegina.

Aegina was found by Shu He, but in order to ensure her innocence, Shu He never gave her any hints, and everything seemed to be developing in the most natural direction.

Badr was about to say something, but he burped, and Aegna quickly stood up and poured Badr a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, wake up."

Badr scratched twice in the air, and sure enough, he caught Aegina's little hand, who let out a low cry, and her face turned red again.

Men, it's always like that.

Badr comforted himself inwardly before letting go of Aegina's little hand.

He took a sip of tea and said guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Miss Aegina."

Aegina shook her head hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter."

As the hot tea went down, Badr seemed to wake up a little, and he said with a smile.

"Miss Aegina, where are you from?"

"Hmmm......"

Aegina let out a nervous hesitation, "I was born in Nicholas. ”

Badr said softly.

"Oh, I know, it's a town west of Turin, and it's full of beautiful women......"

As he spoke, he suddenly felt powerless, and Ayna hurriedly grabbed Badr, and the two fell together as a matter of course.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you."

Holding Badr, Aegina said worriedly.

Badr opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Then his eyes went black, and then he fainted.
