Volume 1: Pride Chapter 37: Don't You Want Me?

"Well, it's finally over."

At the gate of the palace, Xiao Yueluo stretched out extremely gracefully, and the relaxation on her face fell on Navis's eyes, giving him a strong sense of unreality.

And that's the end of it?

Looking at the girl Navis who was walking slowly towards the carriage, she was a little puzzled, of course, it was not only Xiao Yueluo who was puzzled, but also Elias Olis on the throne. Especially the man's last attitude, he thought that the two of them would have a conflict over this, but he didn't want Elias to take the initiative to back down, and the tone of his voice always gave him the feeling of wanting to win over Xiao Yueluo.

……

Half an hour ago, the royal palace

The tension between the two lasted for several minutes, and these minutes were as torturous as years for Navis, and if it was someone with a slightly less willed will, he would have gone straight crazy without hesitation.

"There is no need for a duel, after all, the other generals of the empire are not in the imperial capital now, and they all went out to deal with the mutations in various places, so it is impossible for me to summon them back for this matter, I hope General Elivier can understand."

Is this an active concession? and personally admitted Xiao Yueluo's identity as a general......

Navis squinted and looked cautiously at Elias on the throne, wondering what the man wanted to do.

You must know that Xiaoyueluo Evelina made a recommendation in the name of His Royal Highness, and in terms of the relationship between these two people, it is the best result for her not to be reused, and even he is ready to take people out at any time, but now, ......

"Then Evelina is here, and I have thanked Your Majesty for herself and for the generals."

Saluted Elias on the throne again, and then Xiao Yueluo left the hall directly with Navis, but just after the two left, an elderly man walked out behind Elias: "Your Majesty, they ......"

"I know what you're going to say." Elias raised his hand to stop what the person behind him was about to say, and then continued, "Bennett, but I don't regret it, since I ...... Ahem......"

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Elias cough suddenly, Bennett couldn't help but panic, and then just wanted to go up to check but was stopped by Elias again: "Don't look at it, I know how my body is." ”

"But in this way...... By the way, I'll go to the high priest, who was the same ...... in the first place."

"Come back! Ahem......"

Looking at Bennett's back as he left in a hurry, Elias sighed helplessly, his brown pupils tingling with a hint of cloudiness.

……

"Hey! What a surprise! Or do you want me to go first? ”

Xiao Yueluo's somewhat anxious urging voice came from ahead, and Navis's thoughts were instantly pulled back, and then he shook his head and walked towards the carriage with a smile: "Got it." ”

Forget it, no matter what the man's plans are, but from the current attitude, it doesn't seem too bad, and it's ......

Her eyes fell on Xiao Yueluo's back as she stepped into the carriage at some point, and the corners of her mouth hooked a touch of warmth.

At least that's a kind of affirmation, isn't it?

On the way back, Xiao Yueluo unsurprisingly vomited several times again, until long after returning to the villa, Navis's ears continued to echo the chattering complaints. As for Ronald, he also laughed out loud unkindly after listening to Navis say all this, of course, he was not laughing at Xiao Yueluo but Navis who kept complaining.

"By the way, what do you think about that person's approach this time?"

In the villa office, Navis sat on the sofa, holding a cup of black tea in his hand and sipping slowly, calmly acting as usual.

"What he thinks, what he wants to do has nothing to do with me, as long as he doesn't mess with me, I won't do anything."

"You're really ......" put the teacup in his hand on the glass table in front of him, and then Navis stood up, his voice revealing a thick helplessness, "But you should also know that in terms of the current situation, there will be a break between you sooner or later, if you don't prepare early, I'm afraid ......"

"Huh? Where are you going? Seeing Navis walk to the door, Ronald couldn't help but frown.

"Go talk to your sweetheart and go......"

"Bang!"

Sweetheart......

Looking at the door that was slammed shut by Navis, the corners of Ronald's mouth hooked up with a smile, and he immediately buried himself in the documents in his hand again......

At the same time, Rita, who was in Buling, was also awake for several hours, although her memory was still a little confused, but with the help of the little boy, she was generally able to sort out the cause and effect.

"I didn't expect to be rescued again."

Standing by the window looking at a Samoyed dog in the square not far away, Rita couldn't help but murmur to herself, and the bright red on the ground was nothing in her eyes at the moment.

"But that voice ......"

Rita frowned and clenched her fists hard, vaguely guessing the answer in her heart.

"Big Sister ......"

"I'm fine." The voice beside her made Rita smile, and then turned to touch Thor's head and said, "But thank you for taking care of me during this time." ”

Although she was injured to save people, she also knew that if it weren't for the little guy in front of her, she might have died a long time ago, let alone defeat something as impossible. In addition, even if the mutant beasts outside were cleaned up by those people when they left, all that was left was to find food, which sounded like a simple matter, but the person in front of him was only a seven or eight-year-old child after all. And there are those bloody scenes outside, so I guess I made a lot of determination to take the first step.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Of course, big sister still has things to do." Rita bent down and slowed down as much as she could, as it would make her voice sound softer, "So, do you want to come with me?" ”

"Is that okay?" Thor looked up at Rita, and the original loss in his eyes was instantly dyed with a light called anticipation, but then his voice was a little hesitant, "But I...... I don't know anything, and if I encounter those monsters again, I might even affect my big sister. ”

"Don't worry, although I'm not strong big sister, it's enough to protect you."

Rita didn't say this just to comfort Thor, because she could feel the power that existed in her body, and although she didn't know the exact reason, she could guess that it had something to do with the sound that pulled her out of the nightmare.

And the white-clothed and unknown mountains, I don't know why every time she wanted to remember this, the memories in her mind began to blur.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you? Don't...... Is it still too hard to carry me? ”

Seeing Rita frowning as she spoke, Thor couldn't help but feel lost again, but Nadala's head falling in Rita's eyes made her feel a little sad and uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, the big sister just thought of something that is why she frowned."

"Hmm."

Thor nodded, and the upturned smile also made Rita unconsciously hook her lips: "But there is one thing I need to make clear to you in advance, and then I will send you to a place, and you will live there in the future." ”

"What about the big sister? Don't you want Thor? ”

The expression of sobbing again made Rita a little helpless, but she did not show a trace of impatience, just took Sol's little hand and said, "So your name is Sol, a nice name." In addition, it's not that my big sister doesn't want you anymore, it's just that I'm a mercenary, and I often have to go out on missions, and if I take you, I'm likely to encounter danger, so do you want my sister to get hurt in order to protect you? ”

"I don't want it!"

This time, Sol directly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his voice was full of firmness: "I don't want my sister to be injured in order to protect Sol, so Sol will stay in that place obediently." ”

"Well, Thor is really the most well-behaved." Seeing that Thor was not coquettish, Rita's face showed a bright smile.

Sure enough, tribulations can make people grow up quickly, and it is difficult for a child to say such things if he is just a child in a peaceful living environment. However, if she had to choose, she would rather let Thor grow up in a peaceful environment than let him grow up quickly in this kind of grind, because such growth can often seem very painful, and may even change a person's fate completely.

"Big sister smiles so beautifully."

"Sweet-mouthed little one." In the face of the sudden compliment, Rita didn't look squirming, but just scratched Saul's nose with some amusement.

On the way back, Rita first went to the abandoned wooden house to retrieve her package, and then took Thor to the unknown town.

"Big sister, are you going to Morlinson outside?"

"The name of that town, Morlinson?" Rita raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"Strange name, isn't it?"

Thor looked up at Rita, who was carrying the package on his back, nominally to repay him for saving his life.

"It's a little weird, it sounds more like a forest."

Rita nodded in agreement, of course she wouldn't doubt what Thor said, after all, it wouldn't be good for Thor to lie to her, and there was a risk of being abandoned if she was discovered.

"I heard from the elders of the village that Morlinson was indeed a forest a long time ago, and then for some unknown reason the entire forest suddenly disappeared overnight. Some people say that it is the wrath of the Lord God, others say that it is the disaster of the devil, and there are many theories, and this incident finally alarmed the side of the main church. As for the current Morlinson, it was also established on the site of the original forest, and the town has developed rapidly because of this. ”

"I see."

In fact, she had a strange feeling when she first entered Morlinson, and now that she thinks about it, it should be the reason why the so-called religious faith is stronger. Speaking of which, it should be mentioned that Rita is not religious, even though she is the only princess and crown prince of Evel, but she also knows that there may be ghosts and gods in the world, so she can easily accept these things.

"Big Sister ......"

The tugging of the corners of her clothes and the shouting in her ears brought Rita back to her senses in an instant, and then she looked up and saw ......
