At eight o'clock in the evening, Evan arrived at the party site on time.

After a brief speech, he took the elders of the royal family and left the meeting site and arrived at the royal cemetery in the center of Mirror Lake.

Beneath the huge golden helio-stele, there are rows of white square columns, marble-like, merely polished and inscribed, and nothing else. At the top of the cemetery, there are two large stone statues, Horus, the idol of light, and Anubis, the idol of darkness.

Ivan lit the spices, offered the offerings, and then took the lead in bowing to the kings.

He has always been a mechanical combat suit, but today he wears a hawk wing suit, a wide-sleeved soap belt, and an eagle-crowned snake staff, like an ancient sun king who has traveled through thousands of years.

Behind Ivan , the elders of the royal family also bowed and saluted.

The oldest of them was almost two hundred years old, and it can be said that he was living in the history books, having lived through the reign of several generations of Sun Kings from King Ekhnatun to King Evan, and although the reign of the Evan Dynasty was not too long, the most impressive Sun King for them was the one in front of them, because Evan's existence represented not only the prosperity of the family, but also the immortality.

Therefore, they are not so much worshipping their ancestors as they are worshipping the current Sun King.

After three salutes, the priests dressed in plain white robes stepped forward to dance to the previous kings who had slept here.

In the stone altar, the smoke of burning spices rose straight up, like a straight antenna, which could transmit the thoughts of the living to the land of Hades.

After the ceremony, Evan took the elders of the royal family and cleaned the cemetery with cleaning tools before ending the sacrifice.

......

Back in the royal court's office, Evan contacted Xiao Xi and asked Xiao Ai about her performance at the banquet, and paid special attention to whether she was involved in social affairs.

The meeting lasted three hours, and she spent two and a half hours spying on the little prince and the remaining half an hour dealing with the accoster. In just half an hour, she scolded away seven men who had come forward to talk to her, and threatened to blow up their mother's coffin board......" Xiaoxi said in great detail.

This can be regarded as an effort to socialize, at least the people who have been scolded by her will never forget that there was this young lady at the family banquet. Ivan nodded in relief.

"Master, you're too tolerant of her, aren't you?"

"It doesn't matter if she has a vicious mouth, just be obedient, she is still very obedient. Evan was very generous in defending Xiao Ai.

"Okay then...... However, I think the reason why she is so irritable and sensitive must be that she feels very lonely and redundant. The owner should care more about her, otherwise something may happen. ”

"You're right. Ivan nodded, and the figure shook slightly, and then disappeared into a vague afterimage.

One by one, one by one

After leaving the party, Xiao Ai changed into a brown double-breasted dress, covered her face with a mask, and slowly walked to the West Lake District of Jinghu Lake.

She looked at the river outside the harbor in the distance, and her heart was empty.

She doesn't know the meaning of her existence, and she doesn't know how to adapt to the life of this world line, as if she is just a doppelganger of the 'self' on this world line...... It's completely superfluous.

In the distance, the river rises and falls slowly, the moonlight illuminates the bustling city, and seabirds flutter their feathers through the beams of light cast through the cracks in the clouds, fluttering between the tall and straight buildings.

The wind blew from the distant sky, gently caressing her face with the moist scent of the forest.

"What do you think?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Xiao Ai, and she trembled in surprise.

Turning around, Xiao Ai saw Ivan who was dressed no different from ordinary people, and after glaring at him silently, he turned back and looked at the river again:

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm worried you're lost. ”

"Are you worried about me?" Xiao Ai lowered his head, looked at the clear lake under his feet, and said with a sneer:

"What am I to you?"

"I answered this question since 60 years ago, you are my wife...... But you didn't believe it then. Evan walked up to her and replied earnestly.

"It's obvious that you broke into my life indiscriminately!" Xiao Ai glanced at him sideways, and said with a fiery gaze.

"If I don't show up at that time, you'll die at the hands of Audimandis...... I can't watch my wife get killed, can Ivan?" Ivan sighed helplessly.

"You saved me only because you loved your wife in this world. Xiao Ai pursed her lips, leaned over to pick up a pebble from the lakeside, grabbed it in her hand and slammed it hard, and then threw it into the river in the distance: "It's not that you like me, or you never liked me...... Am I right?"

Puff ——!

Pebbles fall into the water and pick up a splash.

"Do you think the 60 years we've been together are fake?" Ivan asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!"

"Since it's not false, then why live with you for 60 years if I don't really like you!?"

“......”

This sentence obviously stopped Xiao Ai, she hurriedly looked away, and her pretty face like white porcelain was slightly red: "I don't know...... I don't know how to read minds, so how do I know what you think!...... You must be responsible for explaining clearly. ”

"Suppose I'm with you, just using you as a substitute for another Eru Lome. So now that I'm back, and I'm back with her, why do I have to summon you from another world?" Speaking of this, Ivan didn't let the other party answer, but explained himself:

"Because in my heart, you are unique, and you are not a substitute for anyone. ”

"It's nice to say, it's clearly a flower heart!"

Xiao Ai snorted coldly, then raised his leg and kicked him, retreating ten meters away like lightning, and at the same time took off his mask and stuck out his tongue with a grimace: "I say that I am unique, but in fact, I want both...... Bah, bah, no shame!"

"Well, you're right, I'm going to take them all - you're all my wings. Evan nodded, admitting very seriously.

"Die, Flowerheart!"

Xiao Aiqing snorted, grabbed the pebbles from the ground, smashed them at Ivan on the head, and then quickly laughed and ran away.

Under the silver-white moonlight, the beautiful figure is agile and ethereal, the elegant skirt rises with the run, and the double ponytail throws a joyful arc, looking like a deer that scatters joy.

"I'm getting old...... At this time, there was actually a throbbing of puberty. ”

Evan shook his head, then ignored the sideways gazes of passers-by, and let go of his pace like an adolescent teenager to chase after him.
