Chapter 72: Husband and wife
Here, Luna crawls back into bed after Sarah leaves, leaving behind her worries and preparing to recuperate herself and find out the bad things that have affected her to run wildly towards her career as a beast.
On the other side, in Silas's study, the lights were still bright, and Knight McCann was standing in front of the king as much as possible to avoid the candlelight that made his eyes uncomfortable.
"It's not difficult to reveal Manta's affairs to the envoys of the Central Empire, but the king, Prince Charles's side is afraid that it will not be very safe. McCann spoke calmly.
"When did the male of the wolf clan ever be afraid of these little troubles? If he can't even deal with this little thing, he is not worthy of being the prince of the snow wolf country. Silas said as he looked down at the unfinished business at hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
The McCann Knight was about to leave, but was stopped by Silas, "What the hell is going on with your niece?"
"Her mother was sick and didn't want to go to the border. Although McCann's tone was steady, it was not difficult to find a trace of anger hidden.
"When did you decide to let her go to the border, and when did her mother get sick?" Silas frowned at McCann.
"The matter of going to the border has been decided a long time ago, and Sarah has always been trained in this direction, but after her mother's illness last winter, she was reluctant to go to the border again. McCann said honestly.
"What about her father? I never seem to have heard of you having a brother. Silas asked, thinking for a moment.
After all, it should be the husband's responsibility to take care of his wife.
"Sarah died of illness when she was a child. McCann said simply.
"So her mother, not just her mother, should have a new partner and children now?" Silas looked displeased.
"Yes, but Sarah's mother loves her the most. McCann sighed, reluctantly defending his niece.
"Send her mother and her mother's current family away, as for where to send it and how to arrange it, you go back and discuss it with the clansmen yourself!"
"This ......," McCann looked at Silas in embarrassment.
"My daughter of Silas, the princess of the Snow Wolf Country, is not for you to calculate!
Since the Beth family has chosen to be loyal to the royal family, there should be no calculation of the existence of the royal family, this is the first time, thinking that she is for her mother, I can deal with it lightly, but I also hope that this is also the last time.
Since she saw her mother as a reason to break her responsibilities and calculate the royal family, it would be better to put this reason far away.
I think it's going to make everybody else a little more sensible, right? Go ahead and do what you have to do. ”
After waving McCann away and figuring out the purpose of Sarah's sudden allegiance, Silas had no intention of dealing with the messy affairs anymore, simply tidied up the desk, and went straight back to the bedroom.
"You've been getting busier and lateer lately, but what's the trouble?" Olivia saw her husband enter, put down the little dress she was going to make for Luna to wear on Midsummer Night, stood up, and greeted her.
"It's not the Central Empire and the Yu Country's, today I heard the envoy of the Yu Kingdom say that the Central Empire is afraid that it is targeting Luna. Silas hugged his wife, buried his face in Olivia's neck, sniffed at the reassuring scent, and muttered.
"How really?" asked Olivia, frowning and raising her hand to caress Silas' recently emaciated back.
"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Originally, I also thought that it was too abrupt for them to suddenly come to ask for tribute at this time. I've had a message for Kirton, and you don't need to worry too much about it, anyway, they're just thinking about it before Luna transforms. ”
"But Luna always has to shapeshift. I'm afraid they'll get on the side of the nobility. After all, sending a princess out will save you a lot of trouble. Olivia's eyebrows tightened, and she said after a moment's silence.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it! There's nothing wrong with that, and it's time for some people who don't just eat and don't work. Silas pulled Olivia to sit down, not stingy to let his wife notice the coldness that was rolling in the depths of his eyes.
"Do you want to ...... Silas, Luna she's still so young......" Olivia's eyes twinked the moment she met Silas' eyes.
"Ollie, Luna is your daughter and mine, and she's excellent.
If she could, I hope that while she can take on the duties of a princess, she can also have a wider world, although the trial forest is dangerous, but as long as she returns, no one can go against the will of the gods and make her unhappy when she grows up.
We still have time, and much, much more time to get her back safely.
But this matter must be planned in advance. ”
Silas caressed Olivia's cheek, her eyes focused and soft, her voice low.
If this is addressed to his wife, why is it not addressed to himself?
"I just can't bear to ......," Olivia slapped Silas' hand away in annoyance.
No one knew better than the people who broke out of that place, and it was for this reason that she never thought that one day she would let her daughter go to that terrible place.
"Well, our daughter is not yet a year old. Even if you really want to go, it's still very early! What's more, when Luna grows up, we will also be old, and when she wants to go, who will stop her? Back then, my father-in-law and mother-in-law locked you up in order to prevent you from going, didn't they stop you from running on an adventure?"
"Can that be the same?"
"How is it different?"
"I'm here to marry you!" Olivia glared.
"Okay, it's all my fault, it's my bad background, which made my father-in-law dislike it, and let my Ollie suffer with it. If our daughter dares to do this for the sake of a stinky boy, I'll tear that stinky boy alive, how about it?"
His Majesty the King hugged the queen again, half seriously and half teasingly.
"Silas, get out of the way!" Olivia nudged a few times with a little crying and laughing.
"I don't ......" Silas refused to let go, but hugged it tighter, he felt that only holding his daughter-in-law and being coquettish was the key to clearing all the fatigue.
"I went to see my daughter. Olivia squeezed Silas hard at the waist.
"Together. Looking at his wife, whose cheeks were slightly red because of her trouble, Silas got up and led Olivia to the small door.
Olivia, who was about to open the door, inadvertently swept a small horned animal skin sticking out of the crack in the door, she squatted down and pulled it, but found that it was very tightly stuffed, and couldn't help but pull La Sellas, "What do you think this is?"
Silas squatted down, brushed the soft hide, raised an eyebrow, stood up and pulled the door open with a little force.
"...... is she?" Olivia looked at the animal skin that had blocked the crack in the door, and even if the door was opened, it had not fallen off, and Olivia looked at her husband's back.
"It seems that the little one has started to grow up, and there is a little secret he doesn't want us to know!"
Entering Luna's room, glancing at the bed, belly up, mouth slightly open, tongue flowing out of the corner of her mouth on the bed, no sleep to speak of, Silas followed the familiar and unfamiliar smell, walked to the fireplace, picked up the wooden box containing Sarah's whistle, opened it, took out the whistle, and shook it at his wife.
"Is this ......?" the whistle of the royal guard, Olivia knew herself, but she didn't expect it to appear in her daughter's room.
Silas moved his ears, and when he saw that Luna twisted her body and didn't wake up, she lowered her voice and said:
"Shhhh Let's go back first, and I'll tell you about it. ”
