"You're not dispensable! Uncle Howard, it's almost dawn, be quiet. ”

Luna tried to ignore the pain caused by Howard's grip on her shoulder, staring at him with worried eyes, whispering to reassure him, and covering Howard's arm with her own hand.

Luna knew that there was not only blood but also pus under her hands, but she didn't want to let go of the bumpy arms that were trembling under her hands.

At Luna's worried gaze, Howard's sanity returned slightly, he let go of his hand, lowered his head, and said:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. ”

"You're right, I was willful, and I rushed in to find you as soon as my mind was hot. To tell you the truth, I regretted it shortly after rushing in...... But if I want to retreat at that time, my injuries will be in vain, and if I don't find you, it seems that I will lose even more. ”

Luna said as she carefully grabbed Howard's wrist and took advantage of the gray light in the room to examine the cracked wound on his arm.

Luna's words seem casual and teasing, but both Howard and Luna, who have struggled in the fire, know that this is not a lie.

In the face of being swallowed by the scorching heat, no one will be afraid, will not want to retreat, and for a person who can support a person not to fall in that kind of place, only the unwillingness of the bottom of the heart.

"It's okay to say this to my face, and don't say it except for the king and queen in the future. Howard looked at Luna helplessly, he actually wanted to rub Luna's head, but after looking at his pus-covered hands and the marks left on Luna's shoulders, he finally gave up.

"Well, I know. Princess, you have to be brave, you can't tell the truth. ”

Luna looked up at Howard with a smile, blinked, and then her face turned blank, and she said,

"I promised you, and you have to promise me, you can't say that you are dispensable, not to mention my father, but only Aunt Ivy, if you really have a good one, have you ever thought about her?"

Howard opened his mouth when he heard this, he had not been seriously injured before, but he had never been so close to death as this time, he might have been able to hold his chest up before, and he thought from the bottom of his heart that he could give everything for the sake of his kingdom loyalty, but now he ......

Thinking that he was half-asleep, the most apparition he saw was Ivy except for Luna, the princess who saved him but disappeared in the fire......

Howard only felt that the soft coldness in his chest, which had wrapped around him, seemed to have turned into dust in the fire that almost consumed his life.

This made him a little nervous, now that he was like this, how could he face Ivy's tearful eyes?

Luna didn't hear Howard's usual official, hard-nosed rebuttal, and knew that the experience of almost being burned to death and almost being dragged to death by the burns on his body this time made this man who once put his king's life forever in front of himself and his family have become different.

However, she is also happy to see it happen.

Although the original Howard is more in line with the image of a hero in the eyes of most people in this world, strong, cold and loyal.

The thoughtfulness he occasionally showed to his wife was like a rare iron-blooded tenderness, which always fascinated onlookers.

But Luna has seen more than once that after Howard leaves on a mission, Ivy is restless, wanting to restrain herself, but she can't suppress her anxiety.

Others Luna didn't know, but if it was a change of place, she felt that if she were Ivy, she would have been unable to live with this guy who was always out there and made his wife sad and sad when he came home with a wound.

"Oh, drink it. Luna took out the remaining half of the potion from yesterday from her backpack and handed it over, waiting for Howard to take a bite and swallow it before he continued, "Your body damage this time is a bit serious, I'm afraid that even if you recover, it will be difficult to recover the way you were before the injury." ”

She knew that this was cruel to a strong man, but if she wanted to get out of trouble later, it was impossible for her to be hard steel alone, and she needed Howard to have a clear understanding of her own situation after she could get off the ground.

"I know. Howard looked up at Luna with a clear realization in his eyes.

Seeing this, Luna breathed a sigh of relief, but also couldn't help but wonder if Howard knew what it was like for him to be caught in the fire but no one rescued him, so he opened his mouth and said tentatively:

"You don't have anything else to say besides that?"

"What would Your Highness want to hear?" Howard asked rhetorically, looking at Luna with a pair of rejuvenated eyes.

Luna was a little confused about what Howard meant when she heard this.

In addition, now that he wants to get out of trouble completely and take Robben City, he is afraid that he will have to join forces with Orr, so he can only spread his hands, avoid Howard's gaze, and look around at this large room, which may have been luxurious, but now it is empty, and he can hardly hide his depression:

"How did you get out of here......

Howard was silent for a moment when he heard this, although he has always been loyal to Silas, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, and it doesn't mean that even if he is killed, he will not resist, but now it is too early to say what will happen after leaving, so he only said:

"It's easy to get out of trouble. It's just the Orr family, I still have to advise His Highness to be cautious, and Marquis Robben, you also need to be careful. ”

"Marquis Robben, he ...... too" Luna narrowed her eyes when she heard this, although she had too much to ask at this time, she immediately closed her mouth when she heard the footsteps coming from outside the door.

When the blocked corner of the doorway was opened again and food and water were brought in, Luna did not ignore it again this time, but shook her hands and stepped forward to pick up the things, and when the breach was blocked again, and the footsteps were far away, she fed Howard some water and said:

"I see. Everything will be talked about after seeing my father and queen mother. If you still have the spirit, why don't you tell me what our situation is now?"

After taking two sips of water to moisten his throat, Howard refuses to drink any more and tells Luna that the water is their daily supply.

Luna looked at Howard's previous impatience in her eyes, and when she heard the words, she looked at the small pot of water, which was not enough for a person to drink, and her face instantly became gloomy, and a pair of flashing eyes flashed directly at the maid in the corner who was still pretending to be dead.

"It's still useful to keep her. Howard had no intention of sparing the lady-in-waiting, who seemed to be timid, but who had almost monopolized his food and water for many days.

Luna knew that Howard was right, so she only planned it in her heart, and did not make any unnecessary moves, of course, even if the maid was useless, she didn't want to put a rotting and stinky corpse in the room while they couldn't leave the room for the time being.
