Why did you come back so early? Didn't anyone invite you to her boudoir for a drink + Stand a meter away in front of Alex and ask in a somewhat playful tone, but you don't notice that there is a hint of sourness in your words

But Alex noticed, and he tried to suppress the joy in his heart, took a deep breath, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Minna"

"Why apologize? What are you sorry for me? Minna crossed her hands on her hips, not intending to let him go so easily

Alex lowered his head and secretly glanced at her: "I shouldn't just be talking to others and snub you, let alone make you angry that they can't add up to you, I have no reason to ignore you because of politeness"

When Minna heard his words, the depression in her heart immediately dissipated, and her mood became quite good: "It sounds like a lot of sincerity..."

"To show my sincerity even more, I'll be yours for the next few days, whatever you want me to do" Alex smiled and took her hand, "Please enslave me to your heart's content, Your Highness Princess, your slave will never complain!" ”

Minna chuckled and tried to withdraw her hand, but Alex clung to it, and she struggled a few times to break free, and looked up to glare at him, and when she saw that he had been staring at her, she felt very uncomfortable, and suddenly her heart beat faster, and her ears quickly warmed up

What's wrong with her? This is not the first time this strange feeling has arisen

Suddenly, she remembered what she had just heard from Manda, and when Manda was thirteen or fourteen years old, she entered the Ito Noble Academy, where she met the second prince Selig in the same class, and the two began to have a little quarrel, and then they got along for a long time, and slowly felt that the other party was pleasing to the eye, and once Manda accidentally fell down the stairs, it was the second prince who hugged her, so that she was not injured, she said that at that time, her heart was beating badly, and her ears were also very hot, and at that moment she knew that she liked this big boy

Minna's heart was beating faster, how did she feel so much like Manda said right now? Don't... Did she like Alex?!

She jumped away and pulled her hand back vigorously, as if she was frightened Alex, who had always been a companion, she obviously regarded him as a brother, how could she have such thoughts about him?!

"Minna," Alex looked at himself a little depressed, "what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing!" Minna replied a little flustered, "Actually, you don't need to apologize to me, really!" You're just talking to other people and you're not doing anything, I'm sorry for me, I'm just not in a good mood, that's why I'm really angry! Her eyes wandered, glancing at the Rose Garden, and she just wanted to get home as soon as possible

A helpless smile flashed on Alex's face, and he said: "It's really me wrong tonight, I obviously told you that I was going to meet in the auditorium, but I couldn't say a word to you all night, you should be angry, right, aren't we the best friends?" ”

Minna paused: "The best friend?" ”

"Of course! We're a lifelong friend! We've fought Warcraft together, we've taken risks together, we've eaten a pot of broth, we've drunk from a cup, we've even worn the same clothes," Alex smiled brightly, "We have such a good relationship, and I'll be angry if you patronize and chat with others and ignore me, so I apologize to you very sincerely, please forgive me"

That's right, that's it! Because it is a good friend, of course he will be angry when he is suddenly snubbed! Minna breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately thought to herself, if she was just a good friend, why did she react like that?

She hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "But just now... You've been staring at me... My heart was beating so fast all of a sudden... Why is that? ”

An unknown light flashed in Alex's eyes, and he smiled, "Probably because... As a young lady who is stared at by handsome men of the same age, so she feels shy? My Royal Highness Princess Minna, congratulations on finally opening your mind! ”

Minna scoffed, "What kind of handsome and majestic are you?" Don't boast about yourself! Being praised by a few women who are a little seductive and pretentious? ”

"Okay, okay" Alex raised his hand in surrender, "Everybody's going to have vanity, just let me be satisfied"

"I'm afraid you're too satisfied, and you don't know who you are!" Minna grimaced at him, took out the necklace and stuffed it over, "Anyway, thank you for tonight, you made me a little limelight, and satisfied my vanity a little!" ”

Alex covered his chest: "I feel bad when I talk about this, my necklace is so perfect with your skirt, it only attracts a few gentlemen?!" The people at the prom are really discerning! ”

"That's not what I said," Minna squinted at him, "after all, there are two beauties at the same time tonight, and the most beautiful one doesn't invite you to dance?" You're the jealousy of all the male guests."

"As a woman, Bowie... Miss Chelsea is indeed very attractive," Alex bowed slightly, "but beauty is very subjective, and I personally think that the lady in front of me is more attractive to me"

Minna stopped talking, she turned around and walked in the direction of the Rose Garden, but the slightly upturned corners of her mouth hinted at her good mood at the moment

Alex put the necklace away and chased after him with a smile on his face

Minna glanced back at him, "I'm going home, what are you doing here?" Where is your house? ”

"As a knight, it is your duty to escort the princess back to the palace safely," Alex replied solemnly

Minna snorted: "I'm not a princess, you're not a knight, I don't need you to escort"

"Just because I'm not a knight, and you're not a princess, we don't have to follow the rules of princesses and knights," Alex took two steps up and walked side by side with her, "It is said that the guardian knight must follow the princess for ten yards, and it is unreasonable for me to say that this is too unreasonable and not conducive to the safety of Her Royal Highness."

Minna paused and turned to him with some confusion, "I noticed that you were a little strange tonight, as if you were more than before... Belch... Lively? Could it be that because vanity has been satisfied, it has become frivolous? ”

"What does this have to do with vanity? It's purely because the weather is so good tonight," Alex looked at the starry sky, "On a summer night, the stars are beautiful, the cool breeze blows, and the leaves rustle are beautiful, isn't it?" ”

Minna also looked up at the sky: "It seems that you really are..."

"I can make tonight even more beautiful!"

Minna looked at him amusedly, "Did you drink too much?" What are you going to do..."She suddenly stopped, and looked at the countless pale yellow spots of light emanating from Alex's back in surprise, and that little bit of light flew away like fireflies, scattering in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, it was all over the forest, reflecting the stars in the sky, making people feel as if they were in a starlight world

"You are—" Minna ran behind Alex, fruit

He held his wand, "Hah! That's what it did! Me can too! ”

Alex smiled and said the spell used, and told her: "Different elements can conjure up different points of light, carefully control the magic output, don't lose your power"

"Got it" Minna took out her wand and tried it, and after reciting the spell for the third time, the end of the wand also shot out a light blue sel point of light, which slowly drifted around, intersecting with the light yellow sel, reflecting the entire forest more beautifully

Minna was surprised to stretch out her fingers to tease those "shy" points of light, and at the slightest touch, she would quickly dodge her giggles, and turned around to talk to Alex, but saw that he had gotten a lyre out of nowhere, and put it under the tree, and she asked suspiciously, "Do you want to play the piano?" "It's a good environment

Alex didn't answer, just tapped the body of the piano with his wand, and the piano automatically played a pleasant music, he nodded in satisfaction, got up and put away his wand, and stretched out his hand to Minna: "Do you want to dance?" We haven't skipped it tonight."

Minna opened her mouth wide, but soon laughed, "Okay, no one else is robbing you with me now!" But... I'm not going to dance those smothering court dances."

"Okay" Alex smiled, his eyes full of pampering, "You can dance whatever you like, anyway, this whole forest is ours, it's prom time for the two of us"

Minna tilted her head and smiled again, she reached out and put it in Alex's palm

~~~~~~I'm the dividing line of the bad scenery~~~~=====

After the ball, there was a heated discussion about the northern neighbor in Ito City, and even the fashionable attire of the ladies and ladies at the ball fell out of favor, and almost everyone was concerned about the beauty and dignity of Her Royal Highness Princess Stella, as well as the handsome appearance of the Duke and future Crown Prince of Noga and the current unmarried state For a while, the members of the Noga Mission... Whether formal or informal... They have become the most popular guests at various balls in the city

In view of the frequent visits of the members of the mission to the east wing of the palace, which caused great trouble for the defense of the palace, the captain of the palace guard, Potica, complained to King Valfred III many times about this, and from time to time hinted that the members of the mission were at ease, and that the Duke of Nogar, Jada, felt very guilty, and decided to move with all the members of the mission to a newly purchased mansion intended to serve as a future embassy

King East's family tried again and again, but could not convince him, so they had to enthusiastically present the whole house with a full set of luxurious furniture, and with twenty able male and female servants, Duke Jada, for a long time, before he could barely accept a few coachmen, at the send-off banquet held by the royal family for him to move out of the palace, he made a very long thank-you speech, in order to express his gratitude to the royal family of East for their kind hospitality

Minna read the report sent by the informants in the dark nest, and while sorting out the key points, she spurned in her heart that Jada seemed to have more city government than before, look how well he is doing the drama now, and thank you! Unfortunately, most of the twenty servants who had been sent over were returned, and the three coachmen who were left behind were not allowed to approach the main house, and only one of them was a secret line from the Security Department, which could send back a few useful messages based on some clues

Jada seems to be going out to dance parties and tea parties every day lately, strangely, he didn't seem to be very interested in these things before, why is he so enthusiastic lately? In addition, the members of the mission were also often out, and one of them, a man in his thirties, who was said to be Jada's secretary, visited the homes of six nobles in one day on the most frequent trips

Minna always felt that something was wrong, was Jada planning something?

At this time, Darknest's colleagues sent another report, the Shaonan mission has reached forty kilometers outside the city of Ito, there are a large number of them, accompanied by members and retinues of the exiled Weisha royal family, so it is said that the exiled Weisha prince has obtained the support of the Shaonan royal family, and is about to return to Weisha to restore the country, this time to Ito, in addition to participating in the birthday celebration of King East, there is another important purpose, that is, to win East's financial support

Sure enough, none of these royals are fuel-efficient lamps

Minna sorted out her report and prepared to give her a few words of advice when Glori came over

Since the death of Weisha three years ago, East has spent a lot of money to help the exiled Weisha people, and also let them live temporarily in the vast and sparsely populated area, and help them build houses and open up wasteland, but when these Weisha people get along with the Easter nationals, they often cause trouble, resulting in a sharp increase in law and order cases in various places, most of which are caused by the different living habits and ways of thinking of the people of the two countries

Minna wanted to persuade Mallory to advise her superiors that if she really wanted to help the exiled Prince of Wisha, it would be better for him to take the Weisa people with him, who had lived in Esther for a few years and had learned the techniques of farming and manual production, which was exactly what Wisa needed, and with this strength, it would be much easier for the prince to return to the kingdom

There was news from the intelligence department that Melonori had an urgent matter to enter the palace to see the king, so he couldn't come to the dark nest today, and everyone looked at each other, and when they saw that the work was done and the time was approaching, they decided to go home first

Minna was walking on the road, intending to see Marshall, when suddenly there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves and wheels behind her, she immediately became alert in her heart, and quickly jumped to the side, a carriage drove quickly past her, and then stopped not far in front of her, and the carriage door opened, revealing a familiar face: "Xiao... Miss Cardo? What a coincidence! "It's Jada

Minna's heart sank, and she smiled and walked over to him and curtsied: "Good day, Your Excellency Duke, why did you come here?" The neighborhood was full of government offices, and she also noticed that the carriage Jada was riding in was Eastern-style, and he was wearing the regular clothes of the ordinary nobles of East, not Nogar

"Just passing by," Jada said with a smile as he brushed the question lightly, "Since we met so by chance, do I have the pleasure of having you chat?" It's just that... Just talk."

Minna was even more vigilant: "I don't quite understand, excuse me, what do you want to talk about?" She tilted her head slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of several people blocking her retreat, intentionally or unintentionally

"It's just a small talk," Jada smiled very sincerely, "I just wanted to ask you a little about your cousin, Mr. Sommister," he leaned back in his seat, his right hand resting leisurely on his lap, and right next to him, two handkerchiefs were spread out, which looked like they were the same

Minna's eyes widened, and she recognized one of the handkerchiefs she had lent to Manda and then disappeared, and the other was...
