Chapter 395: Insomnia

After arranging the construction of the castle fortress and the gold mining of Jinling, Lorist took Schward and five hundred guards back to the Rock Castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At this time, Lorist remembered that Princess Celivia was already waiting for him there, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little. But in any case, Lorist is not prepared to escape, there are some things that he must face. Lorist knew in her heart that the war with the Fisabrun family was the greatest harm to the girl who was attached to her.

After a non-stop journey, Lorist returned to the Rock Castle in the middle of the night the next day. It was already late at night, about two or three o'clock, and the inhabitants of Rock Castle had fallen into a peaceful sleep. After passing through the city gates, Lorist dismounted and ordered the guards to rest in the barracks first. Refusing to be escorted by the guards, he and Schward led their mounts and slowly walked along the silent and uninhabited avenue to the central castle.

The silver moonlight sprinkled on the streets and alleys of the rock castle, the moonlight was like water, and the night breeze brought a burst of coolness.

Lorist made a few chest expansion movements, stretched the fatigue of riding a horse for two days in a row, and sighed to Schward: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye you will be married next year." I think I was so young when I first met you, and now you're a handsome guy. By the way, Schward, didn't your father-in-law, Count Philim, write to your father and me to arrange for you to marry next year, did you say last time that you should think about it?"

Schward was silent, leading the war horse and leaving.

"Huh?" Lorist wondered: "Schward, aren't you two young people in a good relationship, they stick together every time they meet, what's wrong with this, it's awkward?"

Schward glanced at Lorlist: "Teacher, I want to postpone my marriage for two years......"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Teacher, I asked Senior Brother, and he said that I am already a silver two-star, and I can already learn the Danhai Qi Induction Technique. You promised to teach me the year before and last year, but as soon as the war came, you forgot about it. Brother Reddy said he could teach me. So I want to learn the Danhai Qi Induction Technique first and then get married. The senior brother said that I am smarter than him, and I can lay the foundation and cultivate by myself after two years of calm study. ”

Lorist was dizzy, and it took him a long time to find out that it was what he promised but forgot: "Sorry, Schward, the teacher was too busy to forget about it." There should be nothing going on with the family in the future, so I'll teach you. As for your father-in-law, Count Philim, and your father, I will write to explain the reason, and it will not be difficult to wait two years before getting married. ”

"But, teacher, if I want to learn the Danhai Qi Drawing Technique, I have to practice hard in the back mountain, then there will be no one to serve you. Schward hesitated a little again.

Lorist smiled: "It's okay, last month the commander of the Sea Legion Sambarwood wrote to remind me, let me not forget the original promise, Schward, do you remember that you have a little junior brother? It's that stupid big son of Sambarwood, what's his name?"

"Teacher, the little brother's name is Jenorio. Schward said.

"Why, when Labor and Management said that they would take his son as an apprentice, that Sambarwood guy was as uncomfortable as eating fly, as if I was going to take his son as a hostage. Now I'm very attentive, and I can't wait to wash and pack his stupid big son and send it to me. Last month he wrote to me that his son, who was already sixteen years old and had awakened his vindictiveness, asked me when I could send his son to my side as an attendant so that I could teach. At that time, I had just forced Sambarwood to work for me, saying that he was only taking his son as an apprentice to appease him, but now he is taking it seriously. Lorist grumbled dissatisfied.

"Hehe......" Schward also laughed, he knew very well that the captain of the Sea Legion, Sambarwood, was born as a pirate, and he was coerced by Lorist to serve the Norton family after robbing Lorist at sea. For no other reason, as the strength of the Norton family gradually appeared in front of him, Sambarwood's loyalty can be said to have risen all the way......

"Teacher, the little junior brother is not a stupid big man as you said, he is just tall and strong, every time he writes me a letter, you don't read it, the writing is extraordinary, the literature and reason are smooth......" Schward refuted the little junior brother.

Lorist pouted: "Pull it down, I suspect that his letters are all ghostwritten by his mother, don't you see that the handwriting looks graceful and elegant, full of paper and smoke? Like the letters written by your father, the words are like stones, but the words written by Tiger Ross are murderous. The so-called words are like their people, if you think about it, your little junior brother can write such an elegant and elegant font with a tall and big appearance, it feels like a big man holding a sewing needle and embroidering. ”

Well, Schward had to admit that Lorist had a point, Sambawood's eldest son didn't know what he had eaten, he was only sixteen years old, he was two meters tall and strong, no wonder Lorist called him stupid and big. But Schward liked him very much. Maybe it's to say that Sambawood's ability to turn corners and pull relationships is good, and he takes the road of curves and relatives. In addition to taking this eldest son with him every year when he returned to the family territory to report to Lorist on the affairs of the Sea Legion, he also asked him to often write letters to Schward, the titular senior brother, asking about some things that need to be paid attention to when the fighting spirit awakens. After coming and going, Schward was very close to this tall and simple-talking little brother.

"Okay, you write to the stupid big man tomorrow and ask him to come over, and teach him before you start cultivating during this time, and by the way, examine his character. Although I told Tagger to keep an eye on him, and I didn't find anything bad, but you know people and faces, and you can take a good look at him when you are with him. If he really doesn't want to be trusted, I'll only accept him as a registered disciple at most, and it's impossible for you and Reddy to do. "Lorist decided to put an end to the topic.

"Yes, teacher, I'll write tomorrow and ask the guards to bring him over. ”

The two continued to walk silently for a while, and Schward broke the silence again: "Your Highness, are you a little afraid of seeing Princess Celivia?"

Because it was no longer a master-apprentice dialogue, Schward changed his name to His Highness.

"No, I'm afraid of what she's doing......" Lorist denied.

Schward looked at him suspiciously.

Lorist was a little annoyed and angry: "What are you lying to, I just saw that the moonlight was very soft tonight, so I got up to take a walk, and by the way, I was a little numb after riding the horse for two days." Besides, in the middle of the night, we will wake up a lot of people who are dreaming on horseback, which is very immoral......"

"Okay, I see. Schward smiled.

"Hmph......" Lorist continued his walk very unhappily......

No matter how far the road is, there is always a time to arrive, and the road to the central castle is not very long.

The guard battalion followed Lorist and took over the defense of the central castle by the garrison battalion, these soldiers are veterans who have not given up their military careers after retiring from the army, and they are very familiar with Lorlist. A small group of soldiers on duty in front of the gate saw Lorist and Schward strolling towards the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and take over the two mounts.

"Don't be busy, you don't need to open the whole door and wake everyone up. The two of us went in through the side door, and you went and ordered the servant on duty to boil some hot water for us and get some food, and bring them to the study on the second floor, and the two of us will spend the night in the study, and we will talk about it tomorrow. Lorist said to the captain of the guard team.

But it was two servants who brought the bathtub and hot water to the study. Lorist is very strange, usually the castle night is arranged by male maids, why are there two maids today?

"Your Highness, it is because Princess Celivia has insomnia that she can't sleep all night, so the steward has arranged for us to ......be on duty for two nights," the servant woman explained.

"Oh, Celivia she, she has insomnia?"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"What floor is she?"

"On the third floor on the east side, where the princess used to live, when she used to come. The servant replied.

Lorist washed it hastily and changed into her regular clothes. Then the two servants brought two large plates of food. Picking up a honey bread and taking a bite, Lorist asked, "Well, how is that Princess Celevia eating these days?"

"Your Highness, he eats very little, and always says that he can't eat it. Drinking a bowl of soup often is fine. The servant replied.

Lorist couldn't sit still, turned to Schward and said, "After you eat, rest yourself, and I'll go see Princess Celevia." ”

The central castle was built on a hill, but it was divided into four parts. The former fort is the office building, where Lorlist's study, the reception room, the conference hall and the offices of the various departments of the family are located. Houbao was Lorist's private territory, where his concubines lived. The wings on the left and right are guest rooms, which are used for guests to stay and rest.

However, there are also differences between the side towers on both sides, the left side faces east, the side of the castle is exquisite and beautiful, and it is a place for noble guests to stay, so far except for Princess Celivia, who has been in the Rock Castle for a while, the two of them are staying by status, and the other three allies of the Norton family can only stay by virtue of their proximity and alliance.

Princess Celivia used to live on the third floor of the left side of the building when she came to the Norton family, and that room was closed by Lorist after she moved in, and no longer received other guests, and became Princess Celivia's exclusive room.

Lorist went up to the third floor lightly, and at a glance saw a chaise longue on the balcony of the open hall, and a man dressed in white was leaning on the chaise longe and bathing in the silver moonlight, quietly listening to the night breeze singing softly in his ears......

Lorist slowly walked over to the recliner.

"Didn't I say that I don't want to eat or drink, it's not your fault, I'll explain it to your steward tomorrow, it's none of your business. Lorist's footsteps were heard, and a quiet voice rang out. Perhaps Princess Celivia, who was on the chaise longue, had taken the sound of her footsteps as a servant woman who had come to persuade her to eat.

"It's me, Celivia......" Lorist found it so difficult to speak at the moment, the sound was like the buzzing of mosquitoes, and it was almost inaudible.

Princess Celivia, who was on the chaise longue, jumped up like an arrow, surprised and delighted: "Is that you......?"

"It's me, Celivia......" This time the voice finally got a little louder, and Lorist took a few steps forward, appearing in the silver moonlight.

"Locke!" Princess Celivia threw herself into Lorlist's arms like a milk swallow, hugged him tightly, and tears couldn't stop dripping down: "Locke, I miss you so much......"

Lorist was taken aback: "What's the matter, Celivia, why are you so thin......"

Celivia, who was in her arms, was almost half thinner than the impression in Loliste's mind, and her whole face was shaved down, and she was very thin, but the big green eyes on her face were extremely moving. Lorist hugged her and only felt a lot of pain in her heart, it was too light, and this girl suffered a lot.

"It's nothing, I can't eat, I can't sleep well......" Holding her lover, relying on her solid chest, Princess Celivia finally cried bitterly, tears raining down: "Locke, grandpa doesn't want me anymore, and I can't go back to the family." Grandpa said that if I come to you, I don't have to think about going back to the family. Will you want me?"

The princess Celevia cried like a child who had lost her way home, and like a puppy flicking its tail and trying to please its master.

"Yes, of course I want you, fool, how could I not want you......" Lorist only felt that his heart hurt more and more, and he caressed her hair lovingly, and hugged the petite body in his arms tightly: "Little fool, no matter what happens, I am your ultimate support, and I will accompany you until we have gray hair...... Do you understand, it's my vow......"

Belch...... It's a pity that Princess Celivia didn't hear Lorlist's confession vow, maybe it was Lorlist's arrival that made her finally let go of the huge burden in her heart, and with tears on her face, Princess Celevia fell asleep in Lorlist's arms...... With tears on his face, but a smile on the corner of his mouth, his hands still clutched the corner of Lorist's clothes......

Princess Celevia's cry had alarmed her two maids, and when they got up and opened the door, Lorist hurriedly shushed them, signaling them not to alarm the sleeping princess Celevia, and asked them to guide them to carry Celevia to the bedroom and put her on the bed. After covering the blanket, Lorist wanted to get up, only to find Princess Celivia clutching at his clothes.

"Okay, I'm not leaving. Lorist smiled bitterly, and ordered the two maids to bring a chair for herself, and she sat by Princess Celevia's bed tonight and stayed with her until dawn.

"Well, tell me, why did the princess say she couldn't go back? With nothing to do, Lorist began to inquire about the situation with the two maids.

As the two most intimate maids of Princess Celevia, they also suffered a lot of troubles in the castle of the Fisabrun family, and immediately confided in Lorist about Princess Celevia's accusations and criticisms by the clan, including the Grand Duke of Celebron who asked Princess Celevia to send an envoy to the Norton family but only let her bring these two maids and the clothes she carried, and even the princess guards of the hundred people were disbanded and reorganized into other family arms......

Loris nodded, already understanding the intention of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to send Princess Celivia to the Northlands. I admired the old fox's ruthlessness and simplicity in my heart. Poor Celevia, she had no idea that her grandfather, who doted on her the most, had put her on the table as a bargaining chip. She did not come to make an envoy, but was taken as an apology to Lorist by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, the purpose was very simple, to let the four alliances of the Northland let the Fisabrun family go, not to kill them all, and force them to the point of exhaustion......

Looking at the thin face of Celevia in her deep sleep, Lorist secretly made a decision.
