The next day.

It's a cloudless day, people are taking to the streets, and the narrow streets are getting more and more crowded. Edward followed behind Amilia, looking up at the sky, doing nothing.

Central City, the capital of the Holy Empire, is one of the largest cities of humanity.

If there is an immortal city, it is the Central City. As the name suggests, Central City stands in the center of the entire God-given land, where rich mineral deposits and clear rivers, fertile land, large population, unattainable walls and dedicated guards protect people from demons, and generations of humans have thrived here.

It is also a paradise for merchants.

The flat and open terrain, the transportation in all directions, and the unique geographical location make the business of Central City extremely prosperous. Merchants from all over the world gather here to sell goods and goods, earning a lot of gold coins and contributing a lot of tax revenue to the Holy Empire.

To the north of the central city is the royal palace, where King Varian Ureon and his children live, ruling over the most powerful nation in the God-given Lands, the Holy Empire.

Speaking of the Holy Empire, we have to mention the Holy See.

Saint-Mingism is the only religion in the human world, maybe not the only religion a long time ago, but that doesn't matter, now, the churches of the Saint-Mingjiao are found in every corner of the God-given land, symbolizing that the God of Light protects all the people of humanity.

The image of the spiritual master in a gorgeous white robe is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people are grateful to those who can heal the sick and wounded. Spiritual masters can only be served by female surnames, and with their beautiful appearance and healing techniques mixed with the power of faith, they are simply the best spokesmen of the God of Light, sowing love and hope in the land of God.

Knights, like spirit masters, belong to the Holy Ming Sect. Knights must be brave and fearless men who act as the sword of the god of light, punishing all evil and sin in his place. Almost every boy dreams of becoming a valiant knight as a child, crossing a horse with a sword and galloping on the battlefield.

Knights would form orders of all sizes, fighting for a common belief, and Audley's Order of Ten was one of them.

These are common sense within common sense, and although Edward has amnesia, he still has some impressions of it. At the moment, he was leaning against the wall in a bored daze.

Yesterday, as if they had made an appointment, Emilia and Angelina teamed up to exclude him, and ignored him as air, and the two of them whispered in their rooms all night.

It seems that they are really good friends, and it may be more appropriate to say that they are best friends.

Early this morning, Kane and Angelina went out, leaving Edward and Emilia at home. The injured Emilia should have rested at home, but despite the dissuasion of her servants, she ran out into the street while Kane and Angelina were not there. Edward had no choice but to go crazy with her.

Edward had to keep an eye on her, and if that idiot was allowed to do anything, the devil knew what would happen.

Emilia is now in front of a jewelry stall, and all kinds of shiny little jewelry are dazzling, but Emilia does not seem to be satisfied.

"Hey, what are you picking, aren't those little hairpins all pretty to be?" Edward asked

"......" Emilia tilted her head to glance at Edward, but did not speak.

"I can't believe you still have this hobby, after all, you're still a woman...... Uh-huh. Edward smiled and nodded.

"......" Emilia picked up a small hairpin, looked at it a few times, and then threw it aside.

"Hey, that silver one is good, it's as beautiful as my hair, buy it. ”

“......”

"Eh, don't buy it? You've seen a few of them, and it's not good to just look at them or not to buy them. ”

"No ......"

Emilia ignored Edward's bracket and whispered to herself, her expression of disappointment overflowing.

She had already walked several shops in succession, almost covering the entire street, but she was still not satisfied, and continued to move on to the next street.

"Hey, wait for me......" Edward hurriedly followed.

"Pervert, don't come along!" Emilia glared at Edward coldly, turning to leave.

What the hell is she trying to do?

Emilia ran out after breakfast, and instead of visiting clothing stores or weapons stores, she only patronized the stalls selling hairpins, especially the hairpins.

Edward was really confused by her.

If you want to say that she has amnesia? No, looking at her intimate happiness with Angelina, it looks like amnesia. But to say that she didn't have amnesia? It's not right, if she didn't have amnesia, why didn't she send Edward to the Holy See, but pretended not to know, it doesn't make sense.

Could it be that you chose to have a surname of amnesia? Hey, that's too mysterious......

Edward always felt that Emilia's attitude towards him was different from before.

Well...... What should I say, although she was still so quiet, she didn't like to talk much, she didn't like to laugh, and her ruby eyes were still handsome, but Edward vaguely felt that something was missing.

He couldn't tell.

A noisy crowd blocked the road, and Edward and Emilia stopped.

The people in front of them were chattering around a notice to express their opinions, huddled in a mess, and many people waved their fists excitedly, looking very angry. Seeing this, the guards standing guard clenched their spears in their hands, intently observing everyone's movements, and preparing to deal with any unexpected situations.

Edward was also shown to be attracted, and he bore the brunt of it, squeezing through the crowd.

The content on the notice was cluttered, and there was everything. For example, the notice of raising the commercial tax, the notice of extending the business hours of the shopping street, etc., are all some news that are not available, and Edward has little interest in them.

But among the jumble of information, there was one sentence that caught Edward's attention.

[All members of the Wings of Judgment are trapped in the Endless Forest, and the whereabouts of the Brave Lord are unknown, Marshal Rem admits that it is his unfavorable command and resigns. The Holy See and the Emperor [***] intend to organize an elite team in the near future to go deep into the Endless Forest and launch a search and rescue operation]

After reading these words, Edward smiled dismissively.

It's true that Wings of Judgment is trapped in the Everfree Forest, but it's a big joke that someone wants to organize an "elite force" to save them.

The Wings of Judgment are the strongest combat force of the human race, and apart from them, Edward does not know any other team that can be called an "elite team". Even the Wings of Guilt can't deal with a strong enemy, and the others will definitely be helpless, let alone an "elite squad". The so-called "search and rescue operation" is more like a scene performed by the Holy See and the military in cooperation with Edward, for those who do not know the truth.

It's ridiculous.

"Is the Brave missing?" Edward touched Emilia beside him with his elbow, "Hey, did you see it, they say the Brave is missing, it's funny." ”

“......”

Emilia bit her lip and said nothing.

"Guess what, if I found a brave man for them, would they give me a prize......?" How much is better? 100,000? 1 million? Hehe, I'm rich!"

“......”

Faced with Edward's sarcasm, Emilia refuses to refute it. She suddenly grabbed Edward's hand and dragged him out of the crowd.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Amilia's inexplicable behavior made Edward's mouth close in surprise, and he had no choice but to run with Emilia all the way to a deserted street corner.

Edward was about to ask for an explanation, but Emilia shook him off and slammed into the wall.

"Ahem......"

This fall was not light, and Edward coughed for a long time before he recovered. Don't look at Emilia injured, it's still terrible to be ruthless.

"Demon King, what the hell do you want to do? Why don't you leave? Why do you stay here? Why do you want to save me?"

Emilia grabbed Edward's collar and asked angrily.

This scene seems to be a delinquent boy asking for pocket money from a child, but the roles are reversed, and Edward, who is supposed to be a delinquent boy, is pressed against the wall by the thin Emilia in turn, loudly reprimanding.

"Hey, be careful. Edward said dissatisfied.

"Careful?"

"Be careful of your wounds, idiot. Edward frowned, "Your shoulder injury is not healed yet, what if it splits again, do you think your life is too long?"

"You don't have to worry about ......," Emilia whispered.

"Whatever you want~~"

“......”

Emilia let go of Edward at once, took two steps back, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Edward shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He didn't care about Amilia's rough attitude, he had experienced more rough treatment than this, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"You just called me 'Demon King', right? Hey, don't pretend, you don't have amnesia at all. ”

That's right, Emilia didn't have amnesia at all. Deliberately ignoring Edward, deliberately not revealing Edward's identity, deliberately pretending not to know him, all of them were just acting.

“......”

"Why don't you speak, do you think you're going to solve the problem by doing this? You're just running away. ”

“......”

Emilia didn't answer, and Edward didn't go on. Because he saw Emilia's murderous indifferent gaze.

Forget it, preaching or something, what qualifications do I have to talk about her?

Edward chose to remain silent.

"Demon King, what exactly are you planning?"

Emilia couldn't stand Edward's indifferent attitude, and she asked sharply.

"I'm ......"

Edward paused, looked Emilia in the eye, and didn't continue.

He found that since Emilia woke up, her attitude towards herself was different from before, and she always felt that something was missing.

It was only now that he understood that Emilia was missing something called bravery.

She's scared!

Although her attitude was still tough, her behavior was unusually savage, her expressionless face was as cold as an iceberg, as before, there was no special change, and there was no flaw in it, but Edward saw the wavering and struggle in her heart.

Edward could relate to her feelings.

is obviously an invincible brave, but now he is seriously injured and forced to be accompanied by the demon king, without a partner who can be trusted and relied on. She didn't know what the purpose of the organization lurking in the shadows was, and she didn't know if she would be suddenly assassinated by the cute kid who came at her.

Who to trust, and who to swing the sword against? She didn't know.

She tried to deceive herself, tried to forget everything, forgot the demon king, forgot this southern expedition, and forgot the fact that she was betrayed.

She wanted to escape the harsh reality, but she was ruthlessly dragged back by Edward.

She's really scared right now.

"Me...... Actually, I wasn't planning anything, just—"

Edward raised his hand and slowly approached Emilia's cheek. Without any resistance or reaction, Emilia fell into a stupor.

Edward's hand was unhindered, he brushed away his slender hair, and gently stroked Emilia's emaciated face. The girl's cold skin is delicate and delicate, as if it can penetrate water, which makes people love it.

Emilia stood dumbfounded, her ruby eyes fluttering, and she let Edward's fingers slip over her cheeks, teasing her sensitive skin again and again.

Edward quietly enjoyed the intoxicating softness, and through his fingertips, he could almost feel the ups and downs of Emilia's breathing, and the trembling of the girl's visceral fear.

"It's just—Amilia, let's work together. ”

Edward said with a smile

(The brick group has been released, but unfortunately it's not popular yet.) Could it be that Peaches is so well written?
