Chapter 12: A Long Time, a Long Time
"My brother, you're such an idiot. ”
"Sister, what are you talking about? I don't know. ”
"Oh, Xiaoxue, why is your face so red?"
"Hmm...... Blown by the wind. ”
Di Xue was helpless, he knew that the scene just now was all peeped at by this snickering beauty, so he no longer concealed it, and came to the stone fence side by side with her.
Under the hall, a group of gold-armored and red-robed guards were patrolling the seminary, and the academy fully understood the hundred guards who came with Dilan, and let them set up defenses and patrol the academy.
A white-clothed shadow stepped onto a white horse, and the satin cloak behind her was also white, and she glanced at the terrace where Di Xue and Di Lan were, and her face, which was originally hidden under the wide hood, appeared, and was illuminated by the clear light after the rain, which was extremely bright and delicate.
The two sisters and brothers looked side by side at the white-clothed shadow of the horse stepping on the fallen leaves, and they were silent.
"Sister, why do you say I'm a nerd?"
"Those good nobles have been rumoring that there is a little beautiful assassin by your side all these years, who is your little lover, don't you know?"
"I know, but I really didn't have anything with her before!"
"Isn't there now?"
"Sister......
Di Lan stopped laughing, no longer teasing her brother, women know women best, she looked at the figure of the horse stepping on the fallen leaves, her eyes were a little complicated and said: "Your temperament has always been plain, but you are indifferent to those gossips, but she is a girl, the people of the Brotherhood of Light have always paid the most attention to reputation, how do you let her deal with herself?"
"Also, after you were injured this time, I obviously felt that something had changed between the two of you, and I didn't know what that change was, but I could see that she had always had a good impression of you, you little bastard, you have to wait until a girl first shows it, you are not a nerd who is a nerd?"
Di Xue's eyes were a little confused, and it was only at this time that he realized that he had inadvertently ignored that he owed Taylor so much, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
He looked at Dilan and said, "Sister, you say, should we people have love?"
Dilan was also a little confused when he heard this question, in fact, not only them, but many people with similar identities to them had this kind of confusion.
Born is extremely noble, shrouded in the glory and aura of the family or the royal family, but then it is also a fate that you can't control, which I don't know if it's a kind of luck or a kind of sadness.
"I don't know, but I think we are lucky, because we have a good father, I think he should let us have it, in fact, you and I are already so old, he is not in a hurry to help us arrange the marriage, this meaning is actually obvious. ”
Although Dilan usually has a vigorous style, she is a woman after all, and she always has an endless yearning for beautiful love.
"Yes, my father is a very good man. Di Xue said, the two sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled, people like them can have their own right to pursue happiness, which is very precious.
Dilan left, she recently stayed in the Divine Law Academy, Di Xue thinks that the magic aircraft crash near Winter City and his assassination may have some connection, Di Lan also wants to investigate the case of Di Xue's assassination, the Divine Law Academy is very close to the two incident points, this is undoubtedly the best place.
Emperor Snow still stays on the empty terrace, quietly admiring the autumn forest of maple flowers and fallen leaves.
In fact, before the battle between him and Taylor in the cemetery, he only had a good subordinate relationship, and those who are familiar with him know that the indifference he usually hangs on his face is not the real him, he is actually a very friendly and kind person.
Princess Dilan, like him, since the death of their mother when Dixue was seven years old and Dilan was nine years old, the siblings always liked to close themselves off and did not want to show their affection in front of others.
But just like many people are ugly in appearance but beautiful in their hearts, many people are stupid but actually wise and wise, and many people are indifferent but weak in their hearts.
Di Xue and Di Lan may be the last one.
Di Xue was very kind to each of his subordinates, such as Uncle Xu, for example, those court attendants in his Tower of Eternity, for example, ...... Formerly Taylor.
Maybe Di Xue didn't notice the long-standing affection between him and Taylor, or maybe he used to think that it was just a good friendship.
But since that day he sat in the sun on Valor's Square, looked at the tower, and waited for Taylor......
After he had waited a long time and didn't wait, he realized that he seemed wrong.
Because he waited for Taylor for a long time, it was really long, he waited from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, he was a prince, the great prince of the most powerful empire on the continent, and only others waited for him, without him waiting for others.
But he waited anyway because Taylor was never late.
Not only did he wait, he was worried.
Some of them were like the same worries he had about his mother's condition when he was seven years old.
He remembered the first time he saw Taylor when he was fourteen years old, when the leader of the Brotherhood of Light had brought his most proud apprentice to the Eternal City to meet the Emperor.
On that day that year, Di Xue, who was still a young boy, was worried about how to get rid of the big pile of royal guards behind his buttocks.
He walked and walked melancholy through the street, and then a little girl bumped into him.
He politely apologized to the girl in the strange white dress and left.
Then he found that a precious jade ornament given to him by his father was missing.
He was furious and went after the little girl, with a royal guard.
Originally, the little girl in white had disappeared, but Di Xue did not catch up, and was preparing to return to the Tower of Eternity with great regret and sadness.
However, halfway through, the little girl actually came back on her own.
The girl in the prime of life stood in the crowd, wearing a white strange costume, the fabric and style are rare, and the hood with the clothes is a bit like the hooded robe that the mages love to wear, but the style is by no means the same, Di Xue has never seen it.
The maiden held in her hand the jade ornament with the mark of a beautiful rose flower.
Di Xue went up and asked her why she was stealing his jade ornaments.
The girl in white tilted her head, and a crisp and pleasant voice came from the wide hood: "Are you Di Xue?"
Di Xue was a little curious about how she knew her name, and replied, "It's me." ”
Then the girl threw a handful of gold coins into the street, well, yes, a handful of gold coins, golden, yellow, orange and orange, as if those gold coins were not money in her hands, but just paper flowers for children to play with.
The people on the streets suddenly rushed to grab the treasure that fell from the sky, and scattered Di Xue and his guards.
Then the girl pulled Di Xue and ran away.
Di Xue looked at the strange white-clothed girl pulling her in shock, could it be the dignified prince of the Manhua Empire...... Kidnapped by a young girl in the Eternal City?
"What are you doing? You stole my things first, and now you still want to kidnap me?" Di Xue really couldn't cry or laugh.
"Don't you really want to get rid of those guards? The girl's voice was a little sly and playful.
To this day, Di Xue doesn't know why he believed the girl he couldn't see the face in the first place, he only remembered that the girl's pink lips exposed under the wide hood smiled cutely, and the sound from those lovely lips was very good.
Then he let her pull him through the streets and alleys of the Eternal City, flying eaves and walls, he was weak and sick since he was a child, and he was tossed by her very lightly.
The girl in white pulled Di Xue to a low alley, she pulled down the hood of the dress on her head, revealing a young and beautiful face, but the excitement in her bright royal blue eyes made Di Xue shudder for a while......
The girl said to a man in front of her who was dressed in a style similar to her: "Mentor! Mentor, look at you, this is Di Xue, he is really beautiful, I stole him!"
Di Xue was already tired and almost fainted, and when she heard this little girl say that she was stolen by her, she almost fainted.
The man in a white suit and silver light armor looked at them with black lines on his face.
At this time, the royal guards all over the city had fallen into a frenzy......
Later, Di Xue heard that the little girl who "kidnapped" herself was preparing to enter the world to practice and hone herself, and the great mentor of the Bright Brotherhood was ready to let her help the military with things.
Di Xue thought that he would be severely reprimanded by his father, and he was also verbose with a bunch of people, but he didn't expect his father to smile, and then agreed!
After that, there was a story of the Imperial Prince playing hide-and-seek with the royal guards in the Eternal City all day long, which spread in the streets and alleys of the Eternal City.
That period of time can be said to be the happiest days after Di Xue turned seven years old.
The girl dragged the prince through the streets and alleys, flew the eaves and walked on the wall, and jumped over the wall to cross the river, in addition to all kinds of joy and thrills, but also made him a lot of health since he was a child.
I don't know if my father allowed himself to mess around because of this? Di Xue thought a little interestingly, and a smile appeared on his face.
Di Xue has been laughing a lot these days, because he has been very leisurely lately.
He laughed and laughed, and laughed out loud, and laughed up to the sky on the terrace.
He has been practicing magic with Master Tina since he was a child, and he is very diligent and hardworking, as well as other various schoolwork belonging to the prince, and he is also very serious.
The emperors of this generation are known as Emperor Xian and Emperor Wen, who are virtuous and open-minded above the government, but very strict above the family education.
After all, he is the only heir to the future throne of the empire.
After becoming an adult, he began to participate in the construction supervision of the new generation of various war planes in the empire under the arrangement of his father, and his life was also very busy.
But in the past few days, because of the injury, because of the change between him and Taylor, the kind of change that Dilan said, Di Xue has lived a very comfortable and happy life, so he has a lot of smiles.
Although he is the prince of the empire, he is a person who has never accepted love, and he doesn't know how to meet this change, so he has to use a smile to relieve his nervousness, as well as the hesitation in his heart.
Yes, he was a little nervous, he laughed when he saw Taylor cooking medicine for him, he laughed when he saw Taylor rubbing his injured leg for him, and he even laughed when he saw Taylor pour water for him.
For a while, Taylor thought that he was stupid by the magic crystal cannon, and almost called Master Tina over to treat him.
Because Taylor had never seen Dixue laugh so much in one day in his life!
The way Di Xue sometimes uses to relieve stress is very strange, as if the happier he laughs, the more stressed he is.
Just like that day in Heroic Square, he waited for a long time, but he still couldn't wait for Taylor, so he also laughed many times that day, not because the book written by Prince Dichen was funny.
He was worried about Taylor, a familiar concern, a little like when he was seven years old, worried about his mother's condition.
Di Xue is a very simple person, since he has not been able to wait, then he will not wait and find it.
He left for the Seminary, as he had sent Taylor to the vicinity of Winter City to investigate the strange crash of the magical flying machine.
He knew that she knew that he liked to walk the quiet forest path of the Knight's Cemetery, and she had followed him many times, so she liked to walk too, and if she was going back to the Eternal City, then she would definitely meet it.
As a result, they met, and as soon as they met, they were two serial assassinations.
This is also why Di Xue suspects that the two assassinations in the forest and the cemetery are related to the aircraft crash, because it is indeed a bit too coincidental.
He's thinking about Taylor now, his heart is full of her blonde hair, her blue eyes, her white clothes, to hell with all those assassination plots.
He felt that he might have to thank the person who had assassinated him, because it was this assassination that had finally made him understand his inner thoughts.
Faced with the Assassin skeletons in the graveyard, he could have chosen to let Taylor turn into the phantom of the forest to cover his escape, and with his advanced magical realm, he believed that he would be able to reach the Divine Academy safely.
But he didn't do that.
Because he knew that Taylor would be injured and more likely to die.
He didn't want Taylor to be hurt, and he didn't want her to die, he had seen Taylor hurt once.
So he used the magic scroll that the teacher had given him, and the teacher said that the scroll could only be used at least when all four of his magic systems were sages, otherwise it would be very painful, and he might even die.
But he still used it, and if Taylor had to die before he could live, it would be better to die with her.
When the magic fireworks came, he protected Taylor under him, desperately keeping the lonely boat from falling into the sea.
After all, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want Taylor to die.
Di Xue remembered Taylor's slightly misty eyes in the midst of the storm and waves, and laughed again
Di Xue remembered the day when Di Lan visited the Seminary, and Taylor was afraid that the intimate scene between the two would be met and misunderstood, and he ran away from him like a little rabbit, and laughed again.
Di Xue then remembered the gentle and shy touch on her lips just now, and smiled even more happily.
Then he finally woke up from his memories.
He noticed that his face was so stiff, his hand holding the stone fence was so cold, and he was horrified to find that he didn't know how long he had been laughing......
"Look at that kid, don't you just kiss it? I'm glad to be like this, and laugh for so long. Elder Magister Ryder sighed as he stroked his long beard.
Grand Magister Lixue said, "You don't cultivate, you weren't like that back then. ”
The Ryder Grand Magus simply didn't have an old face: "How can there be, what is the matter of the year, you must be mistaken, it's not me, it's not me, it's definitely not me!"
Uncle Xu, who was holding a cane, limped his leg and pushed away the Ryder Grand Magister who was playing old Laipi, took two puffs of his pipe, looked at the figure in the hall, and sighed: "Hey, the power of love is really great, I have never seen His Highness laugh for so long in my life." ”
Di Xue woke up from her memories, and looked at the strange eyes of the royal guards patrolling below through the golden helmets, and the three unscrupulous old guys on the other side who were waving to her, and her face turned red.
He found that he had really laughed for a long time, and hurriedly fled into the temple behind him, and fled.
He was just smiling happily, not because he was stressed, but because he was really happy.
