After listening to Ryan's words, the little girl Naga stuck out her little tongue and said with a cute face: "It's a little girl, and besides, I didn't mean to break in, but there was too much seaweed over there, and I crawled around in it and got lost."

"Alright, then you go back!" Ryan waved his hand, motioning for the Naga girl to go back on her own.

"No, it's so easy for people to sneak out to play, I don't want to go back so early!" The Naga girl wriggled her tail fin and rushed towards Ryan, and said as she ran, "Besides, you haven't told anyone how you found me." ”

Ryan's side moved slightly, dodging the little Naga girl who pounced, the little girl failed to grab Ryan's cloak once, so she waved her four arms and rushed towards Ryan again, but no matter how hard she tried, she didn't want to touch Ryan's clothes, which couldn't help but this little Naga girl was not discouraged, she looked at Ryan's erratic figure, her eyes turned a few times, and she had an idea in her heart, and when she tried to touch Ryan's cloak again without success, she pretended to trip and fell to the ground.

"Woo, you're bullying people!" the little girl sat down on the ground and cried.

Ryan looked at the little girl in front of him and played a scoundrel with himself, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart, he seemed to have never encountered such an embarrassing situation, with his age and identity, no matter how he dealt with it, he would inevitably be suspected of bullying the other party, if he continued to turn around and leave now, it seemed to be more solid, and more importantly, if Ryan couldn't solve the little trouble in front of him, let this little girl go home and talk nonsense, hoping that his place of residence would soon be peeped at by others, so Ryan thought about it and decided to use the most direct means to understand this matter。

"You win, say your terms!" Ryan said bluntly, "If you want me to treat you like an adult, then don't behave like a child." ”

Ryan's words had an immediate effect, and the little Naga girl immediately got up from the ground, and then she pointed at Ryan and said, "Don't hide anymore! Also, play with me, well, you haven't told me how you found me." Ah, you're going to have to teach me this trick of hide and seek!"

"There can only be one condition!" Ryan coughed and said, "Insatiable greed doesn't end well, of course you can stick to your opinion, but I can also turn around and leave." ”

"Well...... the little girl Naga thought about it seriously, and after weighing it for a long time, she said, "Then you can teach me this technique of hiding around, so that next time I can continue to hide from Uncle Watson and sneak out to play!"

"That's not something you can learn in a day or two. Ryan shook his head and refused Naga's little girl's request.

"It's okay, I'm going to stay here for a long time anyway. The little girl tilted her head to look at Ryan, who had just been playing and didn't care much about Ryan's outfit, but now she found that Ryan had wrapped her whole body in a cloak, so she asked, "By the way, why are you wrapping yourself so tightly? Isn't that too uncomfortable? Also, is this manor yours? What's your name and what do you do?"

Ryan didn't answer the little girl's words, his gaze swept into the distance, and the whole figure disappeared in place, and then the little girl Naga heard the last words left by Ryan in her ears: "If you don't tell others that you've seen me, then I can consider teaching you some tips." ”

The little girl was slightly startled, and then she immediately turned her head to look, but she could no longer see any trace of Ryan, this discovery made her a little discouraged, but just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice came from the distance: "Xiassi, Xiassi......" It was her Uncle Watson. This happened immediately excited the spirit of the little girl Naga, she had already guessed that the reason why Ryan disappeared was definitely not to be seen by others, and his behavior was exactly the same as those hermit powerhouses in the legend, so the little girl Naga quickly followed the same path into the seaweed.

"So here you are, Miss Siassi, and at this time you should learn aristocratic etiquette from Madame Vachiletti, and not hide and seek in this mess of seaweed. A burly middle-aged Naga man finally found the little Naga girl who deliberately exposed her whereabouts in the seaweed bushes in the distance, but the middle-aged man did not show any anger, but said to the little girl in a deferential tone: "The master has let you not just play here, you have been married to the little son of the Torgree family, please keep your ladylike image!"

"Well, Uncle Watson, that thing was not of my own volition, it was all the work of a few old things in the family. The little girl Naga said with a depressed face: "Besides, people are really unhappy these days, so you can let me play for a while!"

The middle-aged Naga man, that is, Uncle Watson in the mouth of the Naga little girl, sighed, he didn't know that this marriage itself was a combination of interests, that Tolgree's little son, who was only 13 years old, had at least 20 concubines around him, and the reputation has never been very good, but the Torgree family and his Obidukh family are both the top ten families in the empire, and the two sides need such a marriage to strengthen the bond between each other, and this kind of thing is not something that one of his servants can change.

"Mademoiselle, go back, if you fail to pass the examination of the head of the family within three months, then Madame Vachiletti, who taught you aristocratic etiquette, will be implicated, although she is usually a little harsh with you, but for your own good, can you bear to watch her have her arms cut off and reduced to a commoner?" Uncle Watson persuaded: "If you can study hard every day, Miss, then I will take it upon myself to let you come out and relax, but you must not leave the confines of the manor." ”

"Deal!" the little girl nodded, twisting her tail fin and walking towards her manor, her loyal servant and bodyguard following her. After the two of them were gone, Ryan's figure was revealed, and he looked at the back of the little girl Naga in the distance, and nodded thoughtfully in his heart.

"You say that the Tolgree family and the Obidulhe family are going to marry?" Tisilis stood up at once when she heard the news, and it was obvious that this news was very important to her. Sure enough, Tisilis knew that Ryan was not familiar with these details of the underwater world, so she explained to Ryan and Faras in detail: "These two families are both one of the top ten families, the power of the Torgree family is mainly in the western region, and most of the interests of the Obidulch family are in the eastern region. Normally, these two families are not without marriage, but the name of the little girl you said is Xiassi, if this pronunciation is correct, then she should only be 10 years old this year, right?"

Ryan thought for a while, and said in a tone that was not very certain: "I actually don't know your age very clearly, but looking at her appearance, she is about the same as a human being about ten years old, but this little girl's mind may not be much worse than that of adults, but she lacks experience and experience, otherwise I wouldn't be vain with her." ”

"Well, that's definitely right, because there is only one woman of the Obiduhe family at this age, and that is the youngest daughter of the patriarch of their family, Siassi!" Tixilis said in an affirmative tone: "This marriage, it is obvious that this Obiduhe family is not optimistic that I can win the final victory, this is making another arrangement. No, they must not be allowed to succeed in their marriage, otherwise my sister will extend her tentacles into my territory, and the Tolgree family has a very close relationship with her, although it is said that the family has not completely expressed its stance against her, but it has not strictly maintained neutrality, which is already the most obvious move. ”

"With your position, can't you just intervene?" asked Ryan.

"No, I can't. Tisilius replied, " Unless I become the empress, I have no right to interfere with the marriage between these families, and since the other party has secretly sent Siassi here, it is obvious that the other party does not intend to announce this matter in a short period of time, if I am not mistaken, when Siassi's marriage was officially announced, it was the moment when my sister launched a general attack on me, and now the ten major families in the empire, in addition to the royal family, have already expressed their support for Shadurilna, and Fei Lingcui and Mosoblai are strictly neutral, and only the 3 families whose interests are most of the interests in the eastern region really support me, which also includes the Obidoch family of Siassi. ”

"Sounds like you're on the back foot. Ryan suddenly interjected.

"That's not quite. Ticylis explained: "The so-called support is not secretly sending young people within the family to serve, the core of their family will definitely not express their position easily, after all, only Her Majesty the Empress is the object of their true loyalty in the entire empire, and now they favor me or Shadurella, but they just hope that the new emperor will gain more benefits after he ascends the throne." ”

"This goes back to what I said before, the fight between me and my sister can only be controlled in the end to a very small range, we can assassinate each other, design ambushes, plant blame, do everything, but absolutely not use the army, so it is the strong in our hands that really play a decisive role. Is it a fluke that the ten major families can continue to this day? The younger generation of their families will work for me, and naturally they will also bring bodyguards who are enough to protect themselves, so it is equivalent to saying that some of the strong people cultivated or snare by these families are also used by me. ”

"And what do you mean?" Ryan asked.

"Didn't you promise to teach the little girl magic, then do it!" replied Ticilis.
