Chapter 52: Calm
"Or, they're hunting a huge prey worth wielding all their strength!"
The resounding affirmative words made Viscount Steve appear silent for a moment, and he sighed and said, "It seems that we need to be careful in the next journey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Aaron shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "At this time, even if we are careful, it will not be of much use, we can only hope that our luck is quite qualified, as long as we successfully pass this journey, we will not be far from the Kingdom of Is." ”
"Yes~!" Viscount Steve also had some expectation on his face, "As long as we successfully enter the Isis Kingdom, we don't have to worry about the pursuers of the Kalas Empire, they will not invade and enter the Isis Kingdom, which has always been neutral - at least, they will not choose to go to war with the two kingdoms at the same time." ”
Aaron nodded lightly and agreed: "That's right, the Kalas Empire does not have the strength to eat two kingdoms in one go, and they will not choose to expand their territory again and start wars with other countries until at least a year or two after swallowing the Kingdom of Chino - by then, we will not know where we have run for a long time." ”
"As long as we can enter the kingdom of Is, then the carriage team will be safe for the time being!"
After saying this, the two of them tacitly did not communicate anything, but silently prepared for this last journey full of dangers - such as Aaron from the carriage where the miscellaneous goods were stored, and Viscount Steve began to check the integrity of his weapons and armor, etc.
Everyone was focused on the final stretch of the road.
.............
That same evening
Everyone was still sitting around the cauldron, eating their own portion of dinner.
Among them, after a period of 'getting along' between Angel and Aaron, it seems that Angel is no longer so resistant to Aaron, especially tonight, she actually took the initiative to sit next to Aaron unexpectedly - in the past, Aaron should have taken the initiative to stick to Angeli's side.
Although in terms of results, no matter who is responsible for taking the initiative, it can't change Angeli's own experience at all, but from the point that she has become active, it seems that her heart is slowly beginning to accept Aaron.
"Hey~, you guy, how old is this year?"
On the other hand, Angeli's address to Aaron has changed from 'Aaron' to 'this guy', and it seems that she is still trying her best to maintain the last of her pride, even though this appearance is actually quite cute to Aaron.
"How old are you this year? Let me think about it......."
Aaron chewed white bread in his mouth and reached out to touch his chin - of course he touched a piece of smooth skin, after all, his current physical age can be said to be quite 'young', not at all at the stage of growing stubble.
Aaron also didn't know anything about his real birthday - when the cheap adoptive father picked him up, he took the day he picked it up as his birthday.
And the time when the adoptive father picked him up was about fourteen years ago, and it is said that he was about five or six months old at that time, so if you infer this, your age is about fifteen years old?
Thinking of this, Aaron casually responded, "I'm about fifteen years old this year, right?"
Unexpectedly, Angeli snorted lightly and said unconvinced: "You are about half a year older than me, what is there to be proud of........ You still dare to call me a 'naughty little guy', pretending to be an old man, hum~!"
Obviously, Angel is still haunted by the last time Aaron called her 'little guy', and her pretty face is as sweet and seductive as xiaolongbao, so that Aaron can't help but reach out and pinch it a few times-
"Woo~, don't pinch my face~! I'm not a child again........"
Angeli kept protesting from her mouth, but her body didn't make any resistance, allowing Aaron to pinch her cheek, and she looked like she was angry.
Speaking of which, Angel is indeed not a 'child', because most of the adult boundaries in this world are based on fourteen years old, and Angel is 'tossed' by Aaron every night, resulting in Angel After tasting the forbidden fruit many times, Angeli's original peerless appearance seems more and more exciting, and the whole person's temperament is more and more close to a girl who is out of childishness and is new to people.
Even the faithful soldiers were sometimes attracted by Angeli's beauty, but they would react at once and dare not look at it again, for it was the right of Lord Aaron, and they were not in a position to be disrespectful to Miss Angeli, or even to fantasize about it.
Therefore, Angel hates Aaron's behavior of seeing her as a 'little guy', and there seems to be some inexplicable emotions in it.
In this case, Aaron is not a rotten person who does not take care of other people's emotions at all, so he had to 'obey' Angeli's wishes, approached her ear with a narrow face, and whispered with malice:
"Well, then I'll treat you as an 'adult' - and besides, I'll treat you well tonight with the same attitude as 'adults', what do you say....... Whew~!"
After saying that, Aaron deliberately blew a breath of hot air from Angeli, which frightened this cute girl who couldn't get out of the clutches, glared at Aaron with teary eyes, twisted his ass and hurriedly ran back to the carriage.
For this scene, the surrounding people seem to have long been surprised, just as a new 'play' between two sweet couples, and in the face of this 'dog food' bombardment, all they can do is ignore it.
However, Aaron was not as relaxed as they thought, and when he looked away from Angeli, who had disappeared into the carriage, the tenderness and gentleness in his eyes vanished, and was replaced by a lingering solemnity-
"So far, we have not found any enemy troops in some of the villages we have seen from afar, and it has been too quiet - it is like a brief silence before a storm. ”
Aaron couldn't help but sigh deeply, looked up at the horizon in front of him, and muttered to himself:
"What kind of big man can make those Callas Empire troops so desperate to round up?"
Beside him, the bonfire under the cauldron was still burning, like a war that had consumed the entire kingdom........
..............
meanwhile
Somewhere not too far from Aaron and the others,
A battle is like a raging bonfire, so that the two huge teams are completely mixed together, countless soldiers are constantly staging bloody battles, and the rich smell of blood almost stains the entire sky!
"Your Royal Highness, you hurry up and escape with 'that' thing!"
A man in battle armor spoke to another young man, who was called a prince, and said urgently:
"As long as you can become an apprentice of the 'Misty Swamp', or even become a 'that'-like existence', you don't have to worry that our Kingdom of Chino will not have a chance to recover again!"
After speaking, the man in the armor said to another officer who was obviously a formal knight:
"Eric, you must protect His Royal Highness the Prince to reach the port of Ecovacs, most of the official knights belonging to our royal family have died in that damn 'rebellion', and even a few peak knights have died in the process of protecting His Majesty the King........."
"We don't have much power left, and the only one who can protect His Royal Highness is you, Eric!"
Eric immediately fell to his knees and swore aloud, "Swear in the glory of a knight—"
"I, Eric, will take my life to protect His Highness Ronald Chino from reaching the port of Ecovacs!"
