Watching the sunrise from the top floor of the Entropy Tower was what Jensen Sissel enjoyed most since he grew up in the Gerry Empire. No matter how difficult the bounty task is, as long as he returns to see the red dome of the Entropy Tower, he will feel at ease.

It's almost winter, and the sparse vegetation in Ember City is bare, and the whole city is bare. This tower was built by the god of war and his wife at a huge cost. The towers are made of the most expensive granite in the empire, cut to perfection and artisans with great craftsmanship.

Most of the Gerry people prefer to live on flat roofs with low windows, which are both insulated and windproof. As a result, the Entropy Tower is architecturally different from the rest of the city, resembling a bigfoot monster standing in the midst of a dwarf crowd.

Gradually, the city expanded outwards with sporadic spires and crooked streets. It was no richer and more peaceful than the Violet Empire, and there was a large slum in the far west of the city, and the moaning of beggars could be heard from the towers.

The Gerry Empire is the realm of the fire element, and the sun is the belief that the fire spirit master has pursued all his life, and the incomparable heat and light are the source of energy that supports the fire element. The blessing of the god of sun and fire will be accompanied by the first rays of sunlight shining on the land of the Gerry Empire every morning.

Little Sissel looks to the east every morning and pays the highest respect to the sky.

At the top of the Entropy Tower, you can vaguely see the royal capital of the Violet Empire.

The towering Creation Hall is like a pillar of heaven at the other end of the world, echoing the Entropy Sky Tower.

Jensen Sissel deliberately got up early, practiced his bow and arrow downstairs, and then returned to the top of the tower to wait for Leia to bring him breakfast.

As expected, the calm of the morning was immediately shattered.

"Brother, brother!"

I only heard the sound of going upstairs quickly, and Leia arrived before the sound arrived, carrying a few round wooden lunch boxes in her hands, and ran up and down in front of little Sissel.

Leia's dark red eyes had a desire to indulge in them, and when she smiled sweetly, her face was like a chocolate wine, and her hair was tied in a bunch, like dark red satin, hanging softly and naturally behind her.

She is even more noble and pretty than the imperial daughter of the Gerry Empire, and she can shine brightly wherever she goes.

Little Sissel turned around, his eyes were a little hesitant, he pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth stiffly, and replied in a deep voice: "I woke up so early, I thought you were going to oversleep." ”

"How is it possible, the thought of making breakfast for my dearest brother will never oversleep!"

Leia smiled softly and playfully pointed to the lunch box in her hand:

"It's rare for you to come back, I can't even see you, I finally caught you once, but I have to let you taste my craft. I've made some of your favorite side dishes, come and try them and see if my cooking skills have improved!"

"Well, good. Little Sissel was a long time late to sit down at the table, and in the interval between the pleasant exchanges with Leia, he relaxed the tension and discomfort in his heart a little.

Leia wore this floral short skirt and sat down across from him shyly, her face flushed with layers of red.

She put the small plates on the table and said, "Brother, I heard you say last night that the Violet Empire is good and that, why don't you take me next time, I told my father last night, and he also thinks I should go out for a walk." ”

Little Sissel's heart, which had just relaxed, was suddenly tightened by this sentence again, and he replayed over and over again in his mind what Rong Mei had said to him last night, and said, "Then what's going on, Leia, don't mess around." ”

"Why not? You said yesterday that you would take me out to play, and my father agreed, why did you change your mind overnight?" Good brother, will you take me there......" Leia pouted, seeing that Little Sissel didn't eat coquettishness, she quickly changed her face, "I don't care, you said you could do it last night!"

"That's ...... My brother coaxed you yesterday, you are a girl, how dangerous it is to go to other countries to play casually. Moreover, the Violet Empire is not like our country, there are many open and secret battles, and the social atmosphere is too chaotic. ”

Little Sissel immediately explained to Leia, "Also, the people in their country don't know how much they hate the Gerry Empire, and you won't have any special hospitality if you go, so let's stay in Ember City." ”

Leia muttered, "But, isn't my brother also in the Violet Empire? How can this be considered a casual run out to play...... I went because my brother guessed, and if it was usual, he would have begged me to go...... I'm not going yet!"

"Leia, the water element restrains the fire element everywhere, you are still young, your spiritual power has not yet matured, and it is easy to be rash in life, in case something happens, it is not something that you and I can solve. ”

When Leia heard Little Sissel say this, she remembered what she overheard from the Melting Charm Patriarch last night, and her heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable. This Jensen Sissel, one on the outside and one on the back, where is he telling the truth and which is a lie?

She pursed her lips and asked, "Brother, what kind of person am I in your heart?"

Little Sissel was stunned for a moment, and the memory immediately rippled a few times: "How can you ask such a question?"

"No, I just wanted to ask this question suddenly, but brother, you have to answer me truthfully. ”

Leia was afraid that little Sissel would find out something, so she quickly shook her head, "Oops...... It's in your heart, it doesn't matter how important I am, what is my personality, and whether I look good or not...... Something like that. ”

"Of course it's important. I thought you didn't need a boy to praise a beautiful and excellent girl. It's something to think about......"

Little Sissel drank two spoonfuls of porridge, raised his head and replied seriously: "I think there is something in your eyes that makes me lose my soul, the kind of breathtaking charm that I will never forget once I see it." ”

"There are many kinds of lost souls, which one am I?"

"The kind you want me to protect and cherish with my life. ”

Little Sissel finally laughed a little uncontrollably.

"Don't embarrass me, you will always be a child who doesn't grow up in my heart, if you praise you like a girl, it's really embarrassing. I originally wanted to sell a clever to compliment you on your beauty, but after thinking about it, it seems to be vulgar no matter how you say it. ”

Leia put down the spoon, pursed her lips and said angrily: "Brother, Leia is not a ...... for you?" It's ordinary? Because ...... As the head of the clan, you have a lot of people to protect, and Leia is just one of them......"

"Silly girl, this is different. Little Sissel was shocked in his heart, and immediately interrupted Leia's words, "Leia is the most important person in this life for Jensen Sissel, no matter where I go in the future, I have you in my heart, and it will not change."

Although I am the leader of the mercenaries and the head of a clan, career and family affection are two different things after all, protecting the clan is out of duty, and protecting you is out of love. ”

Oh [Tian Lai www.23txt.xyz], affection.

Leia's mind kept echoing what little Sissel had said last night, she was just an ordinary female assassin in the Grey Empire, and there were many better people than her.

There's never a shortage of top-notch assassins here, with her or without, it's no different—

Jensen Sissel, after all, didn't dare to say such a thing in front of himself.

Leia's gaze slowly burned, no man in her life had ever said anything like that to her, and little Sissel was the first, and possibly the only.

In her more than 20 years of youth, there are only Jensen Sissel and Rock Langdon, one is the one she loves, and the other is the one who loves her.

And the gentleman who loved her never knew how to be romantic, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he fell into a clichéd tone, and he heard praise ten thousand times, which was boring.

She hated Meltlust to death, and hated all astrologers who could predict the future.

She could probably guess that the purpose of Little Sissel's visit to the Violet Empire this time was not pure, but Locke Langdon was strictly guarding her, and no matter how much Leia asked, she didn't ask any valuable clues.

Leia's heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She thought about it for many years, and the words hidden in her heart almost reached her throat, but her mouth was like this: "Brother, do you know, don't praise women with words other than beautiful, because other words will always make me feel that you have a subtext, saying that I am not beautiful!"

"Leia, you're beautiful. Little Sissel said very seriously.

Leia pouted, "Then why don't you praise me?"

"Hahaha, when will my lovely Leia grow up, how old are you to make such a joke with your brother. Pretty is praised by your husband, I just praise you for being cute. ”

Little Sissel finally hugged his stomach and laughed, but his mind suddenly flashed over the words that had dissolved last night, and the smile retracted again.

"Today, after eating this meal, I only hope that Leia can promise me one thing, when I am not in the Gerry Empire, you have to protect yourself, and if you can't handle things well, go to Prince Locke Langdon for help, okay?"

Leia muttered, "Brother, don't mention that Locke Langdon when you're fine, I can hear his name everywhere, it's obviously the time the two of us spend alone......"

Little Sissel interrupted Leia's words: "Prince Locke is your fiancé, of course you will hear his name anywhere. Because from the moment the marriage contract is decided, the two of you are one flesh and cannot be separated, understand?"

"Understood...... You're nagging too. ”

Little Sissel said: "Also, Leia, even if something happens to my brother in the future, you don't have to care, don't come to the Violet Empire to find me, promise me, okay?"

"Don't let me take care of this, don't let me take care of that!Jensen Sissel, my father is the patriarch of the dignified Spirit Clan, Hephaus, the strongest fire spirit master in the entire Illusory Capital Continent, I, the number one female assassin in Ember City, am not useless!"

Leia clasped her hands and said with some anger: "With my strength, I am a little stronger than the Great Spirit Envoy, and you always think that I am a child." ”

"You are the one I want to protect, and I can't put you in danger. ”

Little Sissel's voice was sonorous and powerful, leaving Leia a little overwhelmed.

She heard what little Sissel was saying, but she didn't debunk him, nor did she tell him that she had heard the prophecy of the Melting Charm Patriarch.

Leia sighed softly, and had to nod her head at Little Sissel's words: "Okay, I promise you." In the future, even if you break your bones in other countries, I will not go to you, don't regret it!

Leia turned her back and stood by the window, tears welling up in her eyes.

Silly brother, how could I leave you alone, I am the sister who loves you the most in the world.
