"Knock, knock......" Early this morning, I got up and ran to the door of Talilu's room, knocked on her door, and kept shouting, "Get up, Talilu, get up!

"I'm closing the curtains...... and then a few moments came Talilu's voice from inside, but it sounded sleepy...... And then a little while, a little more...... There was no movement......

...... I stood quietly in the doorway for a short moment.

"Talilu, Talilu, get up! the sun is going to burn your ass again!" I made a dull sound as I knocked on the wooden door again.

"......" and Tali, who was in the room, lay lazily on the bed, rolled over, and hid her little head under the pillow......

"Nia, stop knocking, let Talilu sleep a little longer. Mom said to me, told me to stop, and then said mysteriously, "Come here, Daddy and Mommy have something to say to you." ”

"Ahh......h

"Mom and Dad will play with you first, come over for a while, we have something to say to you. Then I had to bite the bullet and walk over.

"Nia, do you like knights?" said Daddy, pulling me up and sitting down in the chair in front of me.

Actually, I would have liked to sit in that chair...... But when my dad asked me about something I was interested in, I immediately said, "I like it!"

"Why do you like them?" asked Dad again.

"You can wear shiny armor!And the knights are very good!" I said with a grin.

"What about the samurai? they can also wear shiny armor, and their swordsmanship is very good, do you like them?"

"Hmm......" I thought about it for a moment, as if to coax ...... But I shook my head and said, "I don't like it." ”

"Why?"

"They're going to have to walk on their own......," I said, and as soon as I said this, my father and mother laughed and tumbled their stomachs.

"yes, wearing such heavy armor and running on the ground, isn't that exhausting?"

"Nia, samurai can also ride horses, and don't they become knights when they ride horses?" said Mom with a smile.

"It's coaxing...... But the image is different......," I thought for a moment and retorted, "that calling yourself a knight sounds much better to others than saying that you are a samurai." ”

"Oh, Nia, do you want to be a knight? Mom and Dad are going to send you to be a knight, what do you think?" Dad smiled and put his hands on my shoulders.

"Huh?" I froze, then fell into deep thought.

At this time, the Earl of Cadifen and Elio glanced at each other, and whispered to Eluo: "Our child is very smart, he will think about the importance of it, and when ordinary children hear this question, I think they will agree without saying a word." ”

Elu nodded and said, "yes." ”

"Mom and Dad, do you have candy to eat as a knight?" and as soon as I said this, I saw my father and mother look at each other in embarrassment......

"Nia, did you really think about that......" Mom said to me with a dry laugh.

"Hmm...... yes......" I said, looking at them blankly, "what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's also a kind of ...... to think about," Dad said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Nia, being a knight is very hard, and you may not have candy to eat......" Mom smiled and squatted down to me, "Also, you won't be able to play with Talilu in the afternoon!"

I looked at my mom and dad and saw that my mom and dad were looking at me, but first, I couldn't play with Talilu! second, I didn't have any candy! third, I was very hard! I immediately looked hard and said, "Ahh

"But Nia, have you forgotten what you said yesterday?" Mom suddenly smiled playfully...... Well...... This smile seems to have been seen somewhere......

"What did I say yesterday?" I said, blankly.

"Your oath, didn't you say that you were going to protect Talilu?"

"Well, it's ......a coax," I nodded, affirming Mom's words.

"Well, you see, since you're going to protect Talilu, shouldn't you, have some ability to protect her?" Mom smiled again, and I looked at Mom's eyes, and Dad was also smiling, and their actions were a little creepy...... Oh my God, I was counted yesterday!

I want to refute something, but there is nothing I can do about it......

"Hehe, Nia, don't say anything, we'll send you to learn swordsmanship in the afternoon!" Dad said with a laugh.

"But...... Isn't that why you can't play with Talilu......" I said in frustration.

"Don't you still have some time to play at night?" said Dad, nodding.

My mother came over and gently touched my head and said, "Niah, do you think it's important to protect Talilu and play with Talilu?"

"Hmm......" I thought, I was going to say "play with Talilu", but after a closer look, I thought it was worth weighing.

"Nia, think about it, if one day, a very powerful enemy is standing in front of you and wants to snatch Talilu from you, then if you don't have the strength and you can't use the sword in your hand, then how are you going to protect Talilu?"

I understood what my mother said, and indeed, if there really is such a person, then if I can't protect Talilu, then won't the oath I made yesterday not count? I promised Talilu yesterday to protect her! She was very happy...... I thought about it for a moment, and finally puffed up my chest and said, "Alright then, I'm going to learn swordsmanship to protect Talilu!"

"Good, Nia. Dad laughed loudly, pressed my head and said, "Dad will take you to study in the afternoon." ”

"Hmm!" Actually, I'm also very interested in learning swordsmanship, but if I have to sacrifice my time to play, I will refuse...... After all, a boy would want to wield a sword on the battlefield!

"Mom, what about Talilu? Is she going to study?" I suddenly thought of Talilu, not very boring without me playing with her.

"No, Talilou won't go to school, she's a girl, and she's much better than you, and if she learns better than you, then it's not going to be her protecting you instead of you protecting her. Mom explained to me slowly.

"Uh...... It's also coaxing...... Will Talilou come over and see me study?" I asked again.

"Nia, you're so clingy to Talilu. Dad squinted and smiled very obscenely, then patted Mom and said, "Look at our son, I'm obsessed with Talilu." ”

"Hehe, Nia, Talilu can't go to see you to learn, Talilu is an elf, she has a good talent for magic, this can't be wasted, we and I sent Talilu to learn magic. ”

"Ahh

"Come on, let's just part for an afternoon. ”

"Squeak-" At that moment, Talilu pushed open the door and walked out, rubbing her eyes, apparently awake, and seeing Nia and them all sitting here, she came over and said, "Good morning, Mr. Count, good morning, good morning, Madame." ”

"Talilu, don't be so inhibited, you can call us Mom and Dad like Niah. Mom walked up and pulled Talilu to the table.

"Ah...... But Talilu is only a slave,......" Talilu said with her head bowed, "Talilu can have a room and sit and eat with the Earl, the Lady, and the young master Nia...... Already good for Talilou......"

"It's okay Talilu, we already see you as a daughter, it's okay, you can just call us that. Mom's eyes were full of tenderness as she hugged Talilu in her arms, "Just treat us like family." ”

"Hmm......" Talilu's eyes turned red as she was held in Elou's arms, since she left the forest, it had been a miserable life for her to be taken as a slave, losing her freedom and accepting a whole bunch of "special" training, naturally also lost his mother's love, his family is gone, no one knows where he has fallen, and until the moment he was bought by Nia, Yiqiē has undergone earth-shaking changes, with his own room, delicious meals, Nia also gave her favorite candy to eat, and now, now...... When Talilu thought of these tears, she couldn't help but slide down, her eyes became red, and she immediately blurted out, "Mom...... Mom!"

"Good, good boy. Eluo hugged Talilu, one hand stroking her little head, while Talilu snuggled into Eluo's arms, "Poor child, you must always keep this sadness in your heart. ”

I slowly frowned on the side, my hands clenched into fists, I felt uncomfortable looking at Talilu's sad expression, yes, I want to learn swordsmanship! I must learn swordsmanship well, and I will use my strength to protect Talilu in the future, I don't want Talilu to show such an uncomfortable expression! I quietly made such a vow in my heart.

And Earl Kadifen, the pillar of this family, did not put his mind on Talilu, he knew that his smart wife was full of a lot of tricks, Talilu and she could settle alone, and he, at this moment, focused on this Nia, our earl was surprised, Nia just kept staring at Talilu at this moment, and the firm look in his eyes did not escape the eyes of this earl, including the tightly clasped hands in his eyes.
