Although the summer days are long, by seven o'clock, the last twilight has fallen, and the silent night has once again dominated the world.

Sven walked over to the place where Yang had just fallen, and there was no trace of Yang on the ground except for a deep pit and a pool of blood.

"I let you run away again. Sven's deep gaze didn't seem so depressed, and he didn't seem to be worried about Yang's escape at all, "It's always such good luck, you have been against me again and again, and you have been knocked down again and again, but it makes people look forward to it, what kind of ending can you have like this?"

Sven searched the ground for a while, because it was too dark for him to see too clearly, especially when there was no magic to perceive, it was not easy for Sven to find something in the night.

After fumbling for a while, Swain finally found what he was looking for.

Two bullets.

Sven picked up the bullet that Yang shot into his palm, and the bullet that Caterina shot at Yang, and compared it again, although the two warheads had different degrees of deformation, but from the carvings on them, Sven could still identify them, the two warheads were of the same shape, and they were indeed specially ordered by him and given to Sophia and Katarina.

Holding the two warheads, he returned to the carriage thoughtfully.

Caterina put on Swain's coat and pouted, wondering what was in Swain's hand, but she just wouldn't ask.

"Your pistol. Swain held out his hand to Katarina.

Katerina was stunned, then looked a little gloomy, and Swain began to address her "you" again, instead of "you". She reached under the hem of her skirt, and suddenly as if she had thought of something, she blushed and moved Sven's face to the other side with her other hand.

"Don't look!" she bared her teeth and warned Swain menacingly, but Sven said nothing, letting Katerina's hand rest on her face.

After fumbling under her skirt for a while, she pulled out her pistol and handed it to Sven.

Swain took the pistol, but Caterina still didn't let go, Swain looked at Caterina with a little confusion, only to see that the flush on the princess's face had spread to the root of her ears, and the two tiger teeth waved at Swain like a demonstration.

"If you dare to smell it, I'll bite you!"

When Caterina said this, Sven really subconsciously picked up the pistol and put it under his nose.

There was a unique fragrance, and the smell had already impressed him just now.

And Katarina's face was so red that it looked like a persimmon about to crack, she didn't care about being reserved, and bit directly at Swain, and the two tiger teeth went directly into Swain's wrist.

"It hurts. ”

Sven pursed his mouth slightly, this time it still hurts, although his hands and feet have been cut off, and his body has been beaten to a bloody blur not once or twice, but there is no magic on his body to be bitten, this is the first time, but it makes him experience a pain that he hasn't felt for a long time.

"What do you smell?" Caterina glared at Swain, her teeth snapping together as if demonstrating to Swain.

"The smell of you. Swain replied truthfully.

"Bastard!" Caterina was so angry that she opened her mouth to bite again.

Swain has a headache, he is not so good at dealing with girls, after all, not all girls are as well-behaved and obedient as Sophia.

Thinking of Sophia, Sven's expression became serious.

"Don't make a fuss. Swain pinched Katerina's face and kept the two tiger teeth away from him, "I'm talking about business, not kidding you." ”

Sven pulled out the magazine and counted the bullets inside. The number of bullets in this pistol magazine is twenty, and now the number of bullets in the magazine is nineteen, even if it is the one that Caterina hit Yang just now, the number of bullets should be just right, there is no shortage, and Swain doesn't think that Catalina will have other channels to obtain this kind of bullet, after all, it is specially ordered by Sven, even if Caterina asks Hobarton to provide exactly the same bullets, it is too late in time.

Could it be that Sophia Swain frowned, the last thing he wanted to accept was the result.

Looking at Swain's contemplative expression, although Katerina knew that the other party was thinking about business, she still stretched out her finger and poked Swain, interrupting his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Sven turned his head to look at Caterina with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"It's time for us to go back, right? It's dark now. ”

"Well, that's right. "Because there were so many things that had just happened, Swain didn't think about Katerina's situation, after all, she came out of Tiamat Palace privately, and she disappeared so late, the entourage must be in a hurry.

"Then let's go, and I'll take you back to Karin Castle first. ”

"But how do we go back?" Caterina tilted her neck, as if she was distrustful of Swain, "we don't have a coachman, we only have such a carriage, how are we going to go?". ”

"How did Yang bring you here?" Swain realized the problem, "He drove the carriage himself and hijacked you for such a long distance?"

"It's not. Caterina shook her head, "He didn't do anything, and the carriage ran on its own." ”

"That's zoomosis. Swain remembered the first time he met Young, "He's very good at this kind of little magic, it doesn't cost much, but it's very practical. ”

"Would you, then?" asked Katarina.

"I don't have the power to release magic right now. Sven avoided the question of whether it would be.

"And who's going to drive?"

"I'm the only one to catch the car. ”

With that, Sven stepped out of the carriage and prepared to go ahead to harness the horses.

"Wait!" Caterina quickly tugged at the back of Sven's shirt, "There's one more question. ”

"What?" Sven turned his head.

"You—did you tell me to go back like this?" Speaking of this, Katarina's face turned red again, "Difficult, do you want me to be an imperial princess, in, in front of the attendants, disheveled, disheveled, and then ......"

Caterina didn't say more, but Swain understood exactly what she meant.

He looked at the last white shirt on his body and sighed helplessly.

"This dress can also be given to you if you want. With that, he unbuttoned the second button on his shirt.

Caterina glanced at Swain's lower body. "My skirt is torn and I need your pants. ”

"No way. Swain flatly refused, "You can't let an earl go to his servant wearing only his pants. ”

"Then you're going to let me show those two legs to your servants?" Caterina shook the hem of her skirt like a broken jar, and stretched out a pair of long white legs in front of Swain, "Can you bear it? Only you have seen it, and I will never show it to a second person!"

Swain froze for a moment, and Caterina immediately realized the ambiguity in her words.

"I, I mean, being seen by you is something that there is no way, I wouldn't let anyone see it, including you!

Swain sighed, he had no interest in the explanations. "I apologize if my actions have caused you any trouble. But I hope you don't think about it, I'm ...... with you."

It's this tone again, it's this attitude again. Caterina gritted her teeth, and a sudden anger broke out in her heart.

"I don't care!" she suddenly grabbed Swain by the collar and pulled him towards herself, "It doesn't matter if you don't have clothes, but I need an explanation, one that can explain to my parents and shut people up!"

"What the hell do you want?" Swain's head hurt again, and although Katerina was pulling at the collar, he didn't mean to break free.

"I disappeared all of a sudden, and I didn't go back from the mountains and forests with you until the evening, in a carriage with you, what do you think those people will think? Either you give an explanation that is acceptable to everyone and will not attract gossip, or I will tell my father truthfully that you will do me unwell in the carriage!"

Sven's head is almost big, where is there an explanation that can keep anyone from gossiping? If he can still use magic, it would be easy to do, as long as he uses teleportation to quietly teleport the two of them back to the castle, and then change the clothes of the eldest princess, then no one will know what happened, but now that his magic is dry, he doesn't know when he will be able to recover, this method will not work at all.

"I'll let my subordinates cover it up for us, and your retinue won't see you now. ”

"No!" Caterina tugged at Swain's collar so hard that she almost pulled the button off, "You're always like that, you like to avoid the heavy. What I want is your attitude, not this kind of stealing and touching dogs!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Swain was really helpless, he really didn't have any way to deal with it in front of unreasonable girls.

Caterina leaned her face closer to Swain, her delicate face full of seriousness.

"Marry me. ”

"I should have told you about it......"

"Then I'll go and tell my father, you hold me forcibly!"

Caterina let go of Swain's collar and shoved him out of the carriage.

"Don't be vexatious. Swain fell out of the carriage and got up again, his face darkened, "I don't have time to fool around with you now, and if you do, you won't do you any good." ”

"Don't underestimate women's obsessions!" cried Caterina, "and, what is 'vexatious'?

Swain didn't have any embarrassed look on his face, although he was disturbed by Katerina now, his emotions were not as stable as before, but he didn't show too much of a demeanor.

"Karin, can we talk about this later? We need to hurry back now, it's too easy for accidents to happen outside, and I can't use magic right now, so I can't necessarily protect you. Swain stepped back into the carriage and said in a gentle tone that Caterina had never heard before, "You also know that it is impossible for Sophia and I to be separated, although I have experienced so much, I am not without feelings for you, but please forgive me for the time being." We're not strangers yet, at least, and remember that, and I'll always be there for you when you need it. ”

“If these palace frighten you， take comfort from the knowledge that I am here.”

Caterina suddenly read the inscription on the pistol Swain had given her.

"You, you called me Karin for the first time......" Maybe Swain's gentleness came too suddenly, Caterina was suddenly a little overwhelmed, even though she knew that Swain might be lying to her and just wanted to delay this matter, but her heart still couldn't help but be moved, as if her heart was about to melt, "Obviously, I know that you are lying to me, but I just want to hear it, I want to hear you call me more......"

"Karin," Swain cupped Katerina's face, a gentle glint in his eyes, "I've lied a lot, but these words aren't. ”

Caterina felt so happy that she was fainting.

"I, I......" she didn't know what to say.

"Let's go back first. Swain helped her ruffle her sideburns and pulled it behind her ears.

"Hmm. Caterina nodded with tears in her eyes.

Swain stepped out of the carriage and took his seat as the coachman. It was only then that he breathed a sigh of relief, and his face returned to its former calm expression.

"It's not easy to coax girls. ”

He lowered his head and looked around his seat.

"Where's the reins?"
