I have never seen His Highness Leng Ling with such a fragile side. Something must have happened to make His Highness, who has always been strong and forbearing, cry.
That low cry grabbed Lance's heart like a cat's claws, making him worried.
At this moment, Lance wanted to rush in and hold the other person in his arms. He wanted to lend him his shoulder to lean on. As long as he could share his pain, he would do anything.
However, his own race cannot replace that person's position in his heart. Rean Hans, the man who always follows His Highness, only he can be worthy of His Highness.
Lance lowered his head silently, his blue eyes rarely showing sadness.
After a long time, the crying sound gradually disappeared into the air. Lance moved his numb body and gently knocked on the door.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
no respond.
With his thick eyebrows furrowed, Lance knocked on the door again, but there was still silence.
He slowly turned the door handle and walked in quietly.
The room was extremely quiet, and a faint scent of orchids permeated the air, giving people a comfortable feeling.
Quietly walking to the bed, Lance was half-kneeling and looked up at the man who was leaning on the edge of the bed with his head lowered.
I saw that the other party's face was slightly red, and his good-looking face was hidden under his arms, falling into a shallow shadow. His delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyelashes were drooped. The thick and long eyelashes were stained with tears, and the corners of his eyes were stained with tears.
There are still tears left.
Quietly looking at the other person's sleeping face, Lance's heart suddenly tightened.
He had never seen Leng Ling cry like this before. If he had deliberately held back in the office before, then just now, he really cried hard from the inside out to vent his anger.
Seeing such a fragile and helpless person made Lance heartbroken, and a part of his heart ached violently.
Moving his lips slightly, Lance whispered, "Your Highness, what is it that makes you cry so sadly?"
After half-kneeling and staring at Leng Ling for a long time, seeing that he seemed to show no sign of waking up, Lance simply pulled the thin quilt on the bed and half covered Leng Ling.
Leng Ling's eyelashes fluttered when her hand touched the other person's fingertips, but she did not wake up.
Leng Ling's fingers were very cold, so Lance quickly stopped his hand, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the ring on the other person's ring finger.
The simple style, dark silver color, exudes a subtle fragrance. And this fragrance is exactly the same as the smell on Leng Ling.
The light and elegant fragrance makes people feel at ease.
Smelling this smell and looking at the other person's pink lips tightly pressed together, Lance couldn't look away at all.
After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, Lance suppressed his urge to kiss him, stood up and took a few deep breaths, but did not notice that the other person's half-downed eyes trembled slightly.
"Ryan..."
When he heard the other party calling Lien's name, Lance was shocked again.
His Highness actually called Li En's name in his dreams. How could his feelings for that man be so deep? Could it be that, as he had guessed before, the relationship between His Highness and Li En was really more than just a master?
And the Knights? If not, then they...
His eyes fell on the ring again, and a trace of confusion flashed in his blue eyes.
No matter what, what I have to do is to stay by His Highness's side. As long as he needs me, no matter what it is, I will be willing to complete it for him.
Slowly getting up, Lance turned around, closed the door and walked out.
**********
In the study, Leng Xiao and Elder Luo La were still discussing the matter just now.
"President, although I do not object to your counterattack against Valencia, I think there is some truth to what His Highness said."
"Laura, you have agreed with our decision before, but now you are speaking for Leng Ling. What are you..."
Laura shook her head and said, "No, President, you misunderstood me. I really have no objection. Now, not long after the war has just subsided, the country has begun to slowly resume its economy and production. However, once the war breaks out, the people will have to do it again."
We are in dire straits, and all our hard-earned efforts will be in vain."
Leng Xiao's eyes darkened, "Elder Lola, I understand what you are thinking. However, if we do not launch a strong counterattack, as long as the civil strife in Valencia ends and Karl recovers, he will definitely launch another attack on us.
We can’t just sit back and wait for death every time we attack, right?”
Laura frowned and said in a gloomy voice, "President, isn't there a solution that has both ends?"
"what you mean?"
"Try to negotiate with the other side or sign an armistice agreement."
Leng Xiao said solemnly, "I'm afraid the other party will not agree to this. Last time, Leng Ling brought my handwritten letter to Karl, and you have seen the reply he gave us. As for signing the armistice agreement,
People like Karl can tear up the agreement at any time, and then we will be at war again."
Laura suggested, "President, Karl has been ill recently, and the matters in Valencia are handled by others. The person from the first family of Valencia should be able to speak, and that Admiral Isildar, I
He is said to be an upright person, and if we can find them, maybe he can help us speak to Karl."
Leng Xiao flatly refused, "No, absolutely not. How can we let a Valencian help us? Even if I agree, the people in the House of Representatives and the Military Ministry will not agree."
Laura was slightly disappointed and said, "Then the president means that we must go to war?"
"I will consider this matter again. Laura, you have worked hard today. You can go back first."
"kindness."
Laura left the presidential palace and happened to see Sharda at the door.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid the other party, but was stopped by Sharda, "Long time no see, Teacher Laura, oh, no, I should call you Elder Laura now."
Laura looked slightly sick, "Why are you here?"
Pushing up her glasses, her lead-grey eyes stared calmly at the old man in front of her. Sharda curled her lips slightly and said, "I have something to see the president. I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence."
Looking at the chilling smile on Sharda's face, Laura suddenly felt that the terrifying feeling came to her again.
It's like going back to that day more than twenty years ago.
Suppressing the chill in her heart, Laura turned sideways and walked past Sharda, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Elder Laura, please walk slowly."
Staring at Laura's leaving figure, a hint of cruelty quietly flashed across Sharda's handsome face.
