Avril didn't realize that her heart was being captured.

She loves the feeling of being with Gong Hao, and her emotions change because of him. This is the first boy she cares about, will care about his thoughts, his feelings, laugh for him, and shed tears for him.

Her emotions fluctuated because of him, and she was completely at the mercy of the blonde boy.

She thought it was friendship because he was her only friend.

But Gong Hao knows that Avril's feelings for him have greatly exceeded the scope of friends.

Despite the fact that she is a princess on high above, the girl's heart is lonely, and she never has anyone to rely on psychologically. Someone who can make her believe, sustenance, and be fascinated by it.

In Avril's heart, Gong Hao is like the best combination of a father, brother and lover, despite his low status, he is an object that can be relied on. She can confide in him, and he listens quietly.

Sometimes Gong Hao will also tell her some stories.

And Avril would be amazed, oh my God, how could he have so many stories to tell in his head? And all of them were so exciting.

He was like a bard, with countless stories to tell, and always so philosophical.

“...... The king said to the messenger, "This war has cost my country a great deal of strength, and you must pay reparations." Then the arrogant messenger replied: Yes, Your Majesty, we will compensate you for your land. Then the messenger took out a piece of the skin and said, "We will compensate you for a place as big as this skin." It was a great humiliation to the king, but at that time, the king's beautiful and wise queen smiled and said, "Oh, is that so?" And guess what she did?"

"How?" asked Avril.

She picked up the hide and cut it into long, thin ropes with scissors. Then they put all the ropes together and used it to enclose a large part of the other country. ”

"Oh my God, she's so smart. ”

"Well, the story is over, my little princess, you should go to bed. ”

"I'd like to hear one more. Avril said with her big eyes flashing.

Gong Hao scratched his scalp with some distress: "En...... What more would you like to hear?"

"How many more do you have? I want to hear them all. ”

"Wow, that's a lot. I hold a thousand and one stories in my left hand and more in my right hand. Why don't I tell you another story about Aladdin's magic lamp?"

"That's heard. Avril lay on a splendid ivory bed, with her back to a small soft round pillow, her long hair scattered, and two bowls of dessert brought by the servant on a brocade bench beside her.

One bowl is for himself, and the other is for Gong Hao.

The night was already dark, the lights in the room were still shining, and the little princess was fascinated by the story, so she refused to let Gong Hao leave.

"And what other stories would you like to hear?"

"I want to hear the story of princes and princesses, the romantic kind. ”

"Okay, so why don't I tell you another Cinderella story?"

"Okay. ”

After Cinderella's story was finished, Gong Hao told her a story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

God knows that Her Royal Highness has never heard so many interesting and moving stories, so that the more she listens to them, the more excited she becomes, and she doesn't want to sleep.

"I'd like to hear one more. It was the one she said the most tonight.

"This is the last story, and you have to sleep after listening to it. "This is the one that Gong Hao talked about the most tonight.

"So, I'll tell you a story about Sleeping Beauty. If you promise to be obedient, I'll tell you the story of Troy tomorrow, the story of the beast and the beauty, and the story of the Wizard of Oz, and the story of Alice in Wonderland, and so many, so many, how about it?"

"Okay, okay, the last one, the last one. The little princess said as she twisted her body. It seems that it is impossible to listen to all the stories tonight.

Did he really have thousands of stories? Avril was curious.

When she finished telling the story of Sleeping Beauty, Avril blinked and asked, "Why does every princess need a kiss from the prince to wake up after she sleeps?"

"Oh, what is this......" Gong Hao thought for a moment, this is really a complicated question: "Sometimes the kiss has a kind of magic, it can do a lot of incredible things. ”

"It's magical?"

"Oh, more magical than that. The most amazing thing in this world is always human emotions, incomprehensible, elusive, you don't really understand your feelings, you can't control it, you can only follow its feelings. Magic can at least be learned and mastered, and feelings ...... You can never learn and master it. ”

Like she's blasting Huey away, but can't help but call him back?

Avril tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Huey, did you take a kiss?"

Gong Hao shook his head: "No, no. That's a very sacred thing. ”

"Neither did I. Avril said with regret.

She suddenly finds herself envious of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty because they get the kiss that will make them happy for the rest of their lives.

I really want to have it.

She quickly made her decision.

She lowered her head, her little hands gripping the quilt tightly, and whispered in a mosquito-like voice, "Xiui, kiss me." ”

These words hit Gong Hao's head like a thunderbolt, and he almost jumped up in shock.

Avril was a little dissatisfied: "You don't have to act so scared. ”

Gong Hao looked left and right, fortunately, there were only two people in the room, himself and the princess.

"Hurry up, kiss me. Avril urged him.

Gong Hao asked softly, "Are you sure?"

"Of course. Avril glared at him disapprovingly. It seems that if she doesn't get this kiss, she doesn't plan to let go of Gong Hao.

Gong Hao leaned in and gently imprinted a kiss on Avril's face.

The kiss was very light, like a dragonfly touching water, but it also left a deep imprint on Avril's heart.

Avril only felt her face burn with pain, oh my God, what did that feel like? Was she sick? Why was her heart beating so hard?

Her little face flushed.

"This ...... Avril, you know this kind of thing can't be said, right?" Gong Hao was a little worried, damn it, he had just kissed a princess, and her face was hot, but it felt really good.

"Yes, I know, it's our secret. Avril replied with a blushing face.

"So, be a sleeping beauty, see you tomorrow. ”

"Yes, see you tomorrow. ”

Gong Hao got up and left.

As he pushed the door open, Avril curled up under the covers and whispered in a mosquito-like voice, "Huey, if one day I can't wake up, you will run over to save me like Prince Charming, and use your kiss to wake me up, right?"

“...... Yes, I will. After hesitating for a moment, Gong Hao replied affirmatively.

"Won't abandon me again, not for any reason?"

"I swear I won't, never. ”

"That's good......" Avril closed her eyes in satisfaction.

Gong Hao sighed softly and opened the door.

————————————————————

Night, deep silence.

Gong Hao stood alone in the center of the castle.

He was a little dazed.

There are always things out of control, there are always emotions that are out of the senses, Avril's enthusiasm, innocence and dependence on herself are heating up rapidly, and if this continues, there may be many things that you don't expect soon.

It wasn't what he wanted to see.

There is a natural gap between himself and Avril, not only the huge identity difference, but more importantly, his bitter hatred for the Reims Empire.

He couldn't forget the dead Tsarke, Heather, Biller, and Fink.

I can't forget every dead teenager.

I can't forget that even if he relied on his own efforts to get to this point, he still didn't get rid of the threat of death.

But what can I do?

Perhaps, it's time to prepare for the next plan.

——————————————————

Avril stayed for a long time this time, on the grounds that Gong Hao hadn't found the Warcraft mount she needed for her.

Although everyone could tell, the only mount Avril needed was the blonde boy, not some monster that wasn't in the plan.

Perhaps Avril was hoping that she would never find her mount for the rest of her life, so that she could always have this little blonde boy.

Unfortunately, she had no say in this matter, and Hines refused her wish to take Gong Hao away, so angry that she almost cried on the spot.

The old man didn't even have the heart to comfort Her Royal Highness the princess, but just said lightly: "There are many things on Purgatory Island that you don't understand. Go back and ask your father, and if he agrees, I don't mind giving Gler to you. ”

Of course, the emperor could not agree, he knew that the person who planted the spirit seed could no longer be safely removed, and even if he did not consider the question of blood lineage, it was impossible for him to make his daughter a widow.

Two days later, the Liberty arrived.

This is the first time that two ships have docked at the same time on Purgatory Island.

Gong Hao decided to go to Bailey, he took leave of absence from Avril, said a lot of good things, and promised to tell her at least ten good stories today before the trip finally took place.

"Hey, Huy Gliel, my good friend, I'm so glad to see you again. Bailey shouted.

He gave Gong Hao a warm hug and invited him to the cabin for a glass of wine according to the "old rules".

On the way in, Bailey said to Gong Hao, "I saw the royal ship, it seems that our lovely little princess has come to Purgatory Island to look for her mount again, tell me she has found it?"

"No, not yet. Gong Hao replied.

"I think she's found it. Bailey squeezed Gong Hao with his eyes: "I heard from the soldiers guarding the ship that the little princess is very obsessed with you, she has to be with you almost every day, and even when she goes to bed, you have to accompany her and coax her to sleep." Oh my God, you made her maid unemployed. And you even made the little princess angry with you and shed tears for you, didn't you? Surprisingly, you didn't get any punishment. ”

"Rumors always spread fast. Gong Hao replied lightly.

"Don't worry, it's just passing from peer to peer, isn't it boring to stay here? Those guys don't have the leaves you gave, they must be smoked to death every day. I guess they're hoping that you'll offend the little princess sooner and run her back from the island. ”

"No, I gave them leaves, you know that having a relationship with a princess is not necessarily a good thing, it can cause you a lot of trouble, such as jealousy, which is the most terrible one, so I helped them, I don't need to make enemies for myself, right?"

"Oh, you know, Huey, that's what I admire most about you. You are always calm, sensible, and can be a human being, and you never offend anyone easily. I doubt that with your intelligence, how could you not discover some little secrets about the island?" Bailey laughed.

Gong Hao was shocked, and he looked at Bailey: "What do you want to say?" Bailey. ”

Bailey bared his teeth, "Okay Xiuy, don't play stupid with me. You know there are a lot of secret deals between us, and I can't possibly betray you. You're just trying to survive, right? You've been here for almost two years, and you're the only one who broke the rules here and became an apprentice. I don't believe that with your hard work and ingenuity, you will not be able to see some strange fame. ”

Gong Hao was stunned: "Just because I performed well, should I see something?"

"At the very least, there should be some suspicion. But you've never asked about it, so I'm guessing you probably already have the answer. So you make all kinds of efforts......" Bailey winked at Gong Hao: "You didn't do anything wrong, you should know that even if you admit it to me, you don't have to be afraid that I will expose you." ”

Gong Hao looked around cautiously: "What else do you know?"

Bailey smirked, "Sure enough. Don't worry, I don't need to know more, and lo and behold, you give us a favor and we will do you some favors too. As long as you don't make a big leak, we don't care what you do and what you want to do. ”

"Very well, I'll give you more goodies next month, but you and your friends better keep your mouths shut. By the way, thanks for the reminder, I think I understood something very important. ”

Yes, Gong Hao finally understood why Pierre had been lukewarm with himself, why the hell did he never believe in himself, and hell, I should have realized this. He thought.

Neil said that as the teenagers work here for more time, and as their minds mature as they get older, there will always be some smart people who will find the problem.

Gong Hao's performance on Purgatory Island was so good, so good that everyone believed that he was a genius.

There is no reason for such a genius to turn a blind eye to what is happening in front of him and not have the slightest doubt. In private, there were even servants who discussed where the servants who were taken away went, but in this group of private discussions, Gong Hao always did not participate.

However, it turns out that this is not a good way to escape suspicion.

This is exactly why Pierre does not trust him.

The reason why they dare to continue to use themselves now may be because they need their good work on the one hand, and because they are sure that they can control themselves.

It seems that I will have to be more careful in the future, should I intentionally or unintentionally reveal some doubts about all this?

But would that be too blatant? Would it be too blatant?

No, can't be picked. It's much better to know each other about some things than to pick them out.

So what to do? Perhaps it is necessary to find out how many people doubt themselves because of this, and whether there are any other people besides Pierre. Check this out before you make a decision.

Gong Hao fell into deep thought.

Bailey patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think about that. Let's close our deal first. This is the information you asked for about Hines and Pierre, and as for Lancelot, strangely, this man seems to be very mysterious, and we can't find any information about him. But don't worry, we'll keep looking. I have a friend who works in the Legal Affairs Department, and they have always had a very sharp nose, and there is no information that they can't find. ”

"How powerful?"

"Even the most ordinary hounds can find everything they want based on a few clues. There are also skilled mages who can reconstruct all the events that the item has experienced over a period of time through an item, which they call time reversal. Oh, it's scary to think about, if you fall into the hands of those people, you can't keep any secrets. ”

Gong Hao's heart skipped a slight beat: "There won't be many people like this, right?"

"Of course, and the consumption of using time reversal is very large, and there are many restrictions, such as they can only go back to the time of a day, and they need at least three mages in black robes to consume all their mana at once, and they also need some very valuable mediums...... Unless it's some big case, it's impossible for them to use it at will. Lancelot's affairs, as long as my friend from the Department of Justice and Political Affairs is willing to help, is absolutely fine. ”

Gong Hao stretched out his hand to take the information, but Bailey grabbed his hand, and he reminded him very seriously: "I hope you understand that whether you have heard the news or have not yet heard the news, it will cost a lot of money. ”

"You're going to get paid off, much more than you put in. Gong Hao replied calmly.

Gong Hao replied that he casually took out a box full of things that Bailey needed to make a lot of money.

Then he pulled out a list: "It stands to reason that I should give you free treatment." But I'm sorry, but I still want you to help me find these goods and the information I need. That's important to me. Without them I would not have been able to make a greater contribution and gain the trust of the Master even further. Now that you know, you should understand that all I do is to survive. There's no way I'm going to rebel against the whole empire, am I?"

"Of course, I'll get it for you, and I understand your need as the cost of making materials, not labor, right?" Bailey replied with a smile.

Then he glanced at the list and couldn't help frowning, "Spell book? You want a spell book on soul magic? What do you want that thing for? You know, it's taboo." ”

"Not for alchemists. Master Hines has been working on the creation of flesh golems, and I've been a part of it. I think soul magic is going to be needed to solve this problem, so I need your help. If I can help Master Hines solve this problem, I think Master will let me get in touch with those alchemical topics that he hasn't solved. You know what it means to be at the highest end of the art, right?"

"More money!" Bailey's eyes lit up.

"That's right. ”

"Well, I'll get you a copy, though it's not easy. ”

"See you next month. ”

"Don't stay for a drink?"

"No, Bailey, you've hit me hard today, I'm going back to do some preparations. ”

"Anyway, Xiuy, you're a genius, my friends and I admire you, and we hope you will always survive and live healthy. ”

"I hope so. Gong Hao replied with a smile.
