"Miss, shall we go back?"

"Aren't you curious, and as a price for attacking me, you'll just listen to me for the time being. ”

Arest and Cotilova walked in the night posture, although it was very dark, but with Arest by his side, Cotilova did not mean to be afraid.

Originally, even if the monster touched Kotilova, it would obediently lie on the ground, and there was nothing to get her from except the real ghost.

"I just felt a fight over there. ”

"It must be Voruffi that they're fighting each other again, but it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Arest smiled mysteriously: "If it's just a group of magicians and mercenaries, even that kid from Voluffi can solve it all." ”

"Here you go again. Cotilova's disgruntled tone brought Arest back to his senses, and he was forced to shout willingly, "Yes, yes, it's not that kid, it's Master Voruffy." ”

“...... It's not a young master!" Kotilova had a helpless expression, he was a young lady, what would Arest look like if he called Volofe a young master.

"And what does Miss mean?" asked Arest.

"Just call him by name. Said angrily, Aresis nodded his head to indicate that he knew.

Cotilova said, suddenly stopped, and Arest stopped, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you think the person we're following is the one who caused you to attack me?"

"Probably not, the woman who suddenly appeared revealed her tracks, not the guy I did to me, and she probably didn't have the terrifying means to kill the bone dragon in one blow, otherwise we would have been discovered. ”

"Your eyes are red, and you shot at me, but fortunately, my pupil technique has somewhat alleviated the effect before you break through the hallucination, really, be careful next time, will you protect me or will I protect you?"

Arest said apologetically: "It's true that I was negligent, but I didn't realize the existence of the other party, and the strength is definitely above me......"

After a pause, he smiled and said: "But if you know that the other party has hallucinogenic methods, be careful and I won't be tricked, if it's Miss you, I'll help you untie it." ”

"Don't take advantage of my trick to do anything bad to me. ”

Arest's eyes widened, and he stumbled, "Little... Miss?"

Kotilova himself was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little amused: "What, I'm just talking casually." ”

Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then Cortilova said seriously again: "Of course, if you want to do anything to me, do it, I can't beat you anyway, anyway, you already have this kind of thought, right?"

"Miss!" Arester immediately fell to one knee, "my duty is to protect Miss, and I will not think anything wrong about Miss other than that." ”

Looking at the young man in front of him, Kotilova smiled lightly, "My pupil technique can see good and evil clearly, not only my own good and evil, but also good and evil to me, I have long known your intentions for me." ”

"Miss"

"Well, just talk about it, wouldn't it be nice to make it clear before you start?"

Arest's heart sank, his head lowered deeper, and Cotilova also squatted down, trying to be on par with the other party, but he was still slightly short of the "first line".

"I know your loyalty to me, and I know your feelings for me, but I have always treated you as a family member, not an elder or an old minister, but an elder brother's feelings, so you should also treat me as a family member, if you want, when I am your cousin, I used to tell you to call me by my name, but you always refused. ”

"Miss Princess Cortilova, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"You like me, don't you?"

Suddenly asked such a question, Arest stayed in place and couldn't answer.

No matter what happens, it is difficult to make him agitated and disturbed, but at this moment it is all available, because it is not about fighting or intrigues, but about feelings—there is nothing more troublesome in the world.

"Don't you speak, then forgive me for my willfulness, Cotilova commanded Arest, in his capacity as princess, to answer yes or no. ”

“...... Be. ”

The expected answer, Cotilova was silent for two seconds before leaning in and hugging the other party. And Arest was stunned until Cortilova let go of his arms.

"I'll treat you as an older brother, you're eleven years older than me, so you should treat me as your sister, and call me by my name when there are no outsiders in the future, promise me, okay?"

This is not a direct rejection of Arest, this is another response, the decision she made with a long knowledge of Arest's inner thoughts, and an open heart to Arest.

Helped to his feet, Arest clenched his fists, then nodded heavily.

"Hee-hee, it's decided, brother!"

Arest smiled when he heard these two words, and then quickly turned to a serious expression and knelt down again.

"Huh?" Cortilova winked cutely.

"Arest Fissaklein hereby swears that he will guard His Highness Cortilova as a knight and brother until the end of his life...... No, even if I die, even if I fall into the purgatory of Tartarus forever, I will fulfill my promise until there is someone who can truly take my place in the place of me. 」

"Well, it's hard to find this kind of person, and you really can't find a second person other than my father. Cortilova smiled happily, she was the most beautiful princess in Arest's eyes.

In the past, he may have been hesitant and entangled, but when he really told him to be honest about everything, Arest felt a sense of relief.

I do like Cotilova, and what happened today was sudden, but it's not a bad thing - even if the other person doesn't like her, she sees herself as a relative, a brother, as long as she can be happy, that's enough.

Arest stood up again, then protected Cortilova behind him, and said lightly in one direction: "Come out, a few people, even if you hide it, you can't hide it from me." ”

Cortilova was alerted when he heard Arest's words.

The sound of clapping hands, a young woman appeared almost out of thin air.

"That's amazing, your name is Arest, there are very few people who can find us, and you are one of them. ”

Many figures appeared behind the woman again, and Arest also asked in a cold voice, "If my guess is correct, you are people sent by the Sect, and you are the "Tree of Life", right? ”

"Oh?" the woman smiled, "How do you know?"

"The members all look female, and I feel a different kind of attribute coefficient, which is not hard to guess. ”

"Guess accurately, I'm Captain Metatno, it's a pity that you're so smart to kill, so we'll let you go, let's go. ”

Arest sneered: "You just heard my promise that even if I die, I will protect the relatives behind me, this is not something that can be broken by your words." ”

Metatno stared at Arest, and suddenly pointed to his head, "You don't want to use your abilities to avoid us, do you? Think about why we are like this, do you think I don't know about you?" ”

"What do you mean?" asked Arest's eyelids jumped, but he asked quietly.

"You are very surprised that you are so indifferent in the face of the nine gods, so it is good to tell you one more thing, we are not sent by the sect, and our purpose is the same as your alliance - even if your strength is not bad, but it is only good. ”

"You guys"

Metatno smiled lightly, "I hope your companions will care about the princess, otherwise it will be really nerve-wracking." ”

There was no smile on Arest's face at the moment, and Cortilova stared nervously at these people, and his pupil technique observed half the level of good and evil (to be continued). )
