Outside the house was cold and windy, and the goose-feather snow had fallen all night, but inside the house was warm as spring.
Merlin woke up from his sleep, he had a regular time every day, and he would meditate for an hour in the morning, but today was a little special, Merlin, who had always been full of energy, felt a little tired today.
He turned his head to see a beautiful face next to him, his white arms still wrapped around Merlin's body.
Merlin rubbed his head, gently lifted the quilt, and saw a touch of spring under the quilt out of the corner of his eye.
The house was littered with Merlin and Sherlis's clothes, all thrown all over the room, and there was a strange smell in the air.
Merlin shook his head slightly, seeing this, it was enough to imagine how crazy the two of them were last night, Merlin's body was originally very weak, but after practicing the posture on the mysterious relief for a long time, his physical fitness was terrifying.
Perhaps it was Merlin who got up and alarmed Shellys, who was sleeping soundly, and she gradually woke up.
Sherlis's expression was very calm, but her eyes were very complicated, she looked at Merlin and whispered, "Baron Merlin, don't forget to promise me something." β
Merlin turned around and came to Shirlis's side, and said coldly in a tone full of unquestionable doubts: "Sherlis, maybe before this, we were still in a trading relationship, but after this, you are my Wilson Merlin's woman!
Unconsciously, Merlin already had a kind of majesty, which was enough to make people nervous, and Shellis was like this now, feeling the strong masculine aura on Merlin's body, as well as the affirmative and domineering tone, for a while, she was a little stunned.
"Alright, tell me about the origin of this ring. β
A smile appeared between the corners of Merlin's mouth, and he gently patted Sherley's body, and the smooth touch made Merlin can't help but pinch a few more.
However, Merlin has always been very restrained in this aspect and will not indulge in it, so when he saw that a shy flush appeared on Shellis's face again, he reached out, took out the inky black ring, and stroked it gently.
Sheris glanced at Merlin deeply, as if because of Merlin's categorical words just now, she also had a sense of belonging, so her tone was much softer, not as indifferent as before.
"The ring was given to me by Uncle Frederick. β
As if she was beginning to immerse herself in her memories, Shellis said slowly, "Uncle Frederick traveled to various countries when he was young, especially in the Black Moon Kingdom for ten years. Later, Uncle Frederick returned to the Kingdom of Light and served as the commander of the Firebird Legion...... In fact, no one knows that Uncle Frederick has been a powerful spellcaster in the Black Moon Kingdom for ten years, but he has never dared to reveal the identity of the spellcaster due to the strength of the Church of Light. β
"Until the ambitions of the Church of Light were exposed, a coup d'Γ©tat was launched, and at the last moment, Uncle Frederick gave me this ring in order to cover me and Benin's escape from the City of Light. It's just a pity that neither Benin nor I have the qualifications to cast spells......"
After Sheris finished speaking, she still looked at Merlin with meaningful eyes, she still had some words that she had not said, but Merlin had already guessed that neither Sheris nor Benin had the qualifications to cast spells, and this ring did not have much effect on them. And now they are in crisis again, and the only one who can see the value of this ring is the spellcaster, and Merlin is precisely the spellcaster.
This is the real reason why Shellis dared to come to Merlin.
Prince Frederick, is actually still a spellcaster, Merlin felt very surprised, although he has not been in the Kingdom of Light for a long time, but he also knows the Dao, the Church of Light's treatment of "heresy" is definitely very severe, just look at the fate of the old man Aita.
A dignified prince, or a spellcaster, an "evil heresy" in the mouth of the church, can hide his identity under the nose of the church, Prince Frederick is certainly not simple.
Perhaps, Prince Frederick was a powerful spellcaster far beyond Merlin's imagination.
However, even such a powerful spellcaster, listening to Shellis's tone, I am afraid that the most difficult will be more than lucky.
"Tell me about Baron Valen. β
Merlin put away the ring and asked lightly, the reason why Baron Valen was mentioned was because Merlin felt that it was the first time for Shellis last night, and he was not at all as close as he was with Baron Valen at the banquet.
Hearing Merlin mention Baron Valen, Shirlis's body trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down, and it was strange to say that Shiris was still very disgusted with Merlin last night, just as she was disgusted with Baron Valen.
But now, she has actually begun to care a little about Merlin's feelings, so when she heard Merlin mention Baron Valen, Shellis was a little nervous, quietly glanced at Merlin, and then explained: "Benin and I came to Pugas City all the way, originally wanting to stay away from the Kingdom of Light, but I didn't expect that the identity of our royal family was still known by many people. As a last resort, I had to make an agreement with Baron Valen to let him shelter us for a while, but he intensified his efforts and sent men to surround us where we lived, saying that it was to protect us. β
"In a hurry, I could only promise him that I would marry him and become a baroness after a while, perhaps he also thought that in this way, the wealth of our royal family would be completely obtained by him, so he did not rush to do anything to us. β
Hearing Sherlis's explanation, Merlin gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter, Baron Warren was for the wealth of the royal family, and he probably didn't mind getting such a noble princess as Sheris, and he controlled Sheris half threatening and half tempting.
Later, by coincidence, Shellis met Merlin at the banquet, and also learned about Merlin's current status in Pugas City, so she found Merlin overnight and exchanged all kinds of rich conditions for Merlin's help.
After Merlin asked, he sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly for Shellis to get dressed, although Merlin has a lot of self-control over things between men and women, but watching Shellys such a princess with a noble temperament get dressed, it is also a very rare visual enjoyment.
Shellys bit her lip almost under Merlin's unbridled gaze, her face flushed, and quickly got dressed.
Merlin then left the room with Shellis and went downstairs.
"Uncle Pula!"
Merlin called Commander Pula, and the other party saw Merlin and Shellis standing together, but there was not much surprise on their faces, it was obvious that last night, Commander Pula had already known that Shellis had entered Merlin's room.
"Your Excellency, what do you command?"
Although Merlin still called "Uncle Pula", Pula did not dare to hold it up, and now in the entire Wilson Castle, the highest status is the Baron Merlin.
Merlin said lightly: "Uncle Pula, you take a hundred knights, escort Shellis to her residence, and bring the other members of the Firebird Legion to the castle, all the way, at Shellis's orders. β
Pura looked at Shellis in some surprise, but quickly replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Lord Baron, I will definitely bring back Princess Shellis and the other members of the Firebird Knight." β
There was a hint of worry on Shirleys' face, and Merlin immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I believe that Baron Valen is a smart man, Pula will follow you, and he will know what to choose." β
"However, if he refuses to let him go, then I don't mind going myself!"
Although Merlin's tone was very calm, there seemed to be a chilling killing intent in his indifferent voice, and the momentum emanating from Merlin's body made Pula, a knight who had been killed for a long time, feel a chill.
