The clear and pleasant child's voice rose, and Leng Ling's black pupils shrank quietly. He quickly stood up and walked quickly towards the little girl standing at the entrance of the corridor, pressing her thin body into his arms, "I'm back."
Xiaolin was hugged tightly by Leng Ling, and her big black eyes showed joy, "Brother, I miss you so much. I miss you every day. I finally see you today. I'm so happy."
Leng Ling hugged Xiaolin tightly, her clear eyes slightly moist, "I miss you too."
The two siblings hugged each other and talked to each other, completely forgetting about the other people present.
After a while, Leng Ling remembered his naughty brother, "Where is Xiaolie?"
"Your Highness Lie went to play with his friends this morning and will be back during lunch." Jerry served the freshly baked muffins, and the smell of burnt aroma slowly spread in the hall, "Your Highness Lin, you
My favorite waffles are baked."
"Great," Xiaolin happily stood up from Leng Ling's arms, "Brother, I want to eat muffins."
Leng Ling smiled slightly and said, "Okay, brother will help you over."
"No, I will do it myself," Xiaolin had a firm expression on her pretty little face. She held the handrail and walked slowly down the steps.
Looking at the little figure with a prosthetic leg and a staggering walk, a calm sadness quietly surged into Leng Ling's handsome face.
Lean was sitting on the sofa, his golden pupils reflected Leng Ling's straight black figure. He picked up the coffee and took a sip. Then he picked up a piece of muffin and took a bite. It tasted really good.
"who are you?"
Xiao Lin had already sat next to Li En. She was very curious about this strange man with blond hair and golden eyes, and her dark eyes opened wide.
Lean showed his white teeth in a friendly manner towards Xiao Lin, "I am your brother's knight. My name is Lean Hans. Your Highness Lin, just call me Lean."
"Are you my brother's knight? It turns out that you are not fierce at all. This bad guy Xiaolie actually lied to me." Xiaolin picked up a piece of muffin, put it in her mouth and took a bite, with an expression on her face that she had been deceived.
Li En raised his eyebrows in a funny way, "Oh? Did His Highness Lie describe me as a terrible person?"
After all, Xiaolin is a simple child. She said without hesitation, "Xiaolie said that you are from Valencia. Valencians are all barbarians, and they all look terrible and can eat people."
"Pfft haha..." Li En suddenly laughed, and the deep laughter echoed in the hall, very loudly, "Your Highness Lin, if I can eat people, can your brother still come to see you? Ling, tell me
Yes or no?"
Leng Ling walked over, glanced at Li En who had a joking look on his face with clear eyes, and pulled Xiao Lin to his side, "Xiao Lin, tell brother, are you happy at home?"
Xiaolin leaned in Leng Ling's arms, chewing muffins, "I am having a great time."
"Xiao Lin, I'm sorry, it's my brother's fault." Leng Ling's hand touched Xiao Lin's cold prosthetic leg worn under the dress, and the thin lip line bent down bitterly, "Promise brother, you must take good care of yourself in the future. If you can't
Don’t let yourself get hurt again.”
Xiaolin smiled very sweetly, "I will take good care of myself. With brother Jerry and Xiaolie, I will not be hurt again in the future."
"Okay," Leng Ling hugged Xiaolin, her voice was muffled, but the guilt in her eyes became deeper and deeper.
Seeing that Leng Ling's mood was a bit off, Jerry quickly said, "Your Highness Lin, you haven't finished your homework today. Let me take you back to your room first. After you finish your homework, I will meet with Your Highness and Li En."
Would you like to have dinner together, sir?"
"Okay," Xiaolin got up from Leng Ling's arms, "Brother, Mr. Lien, I'm going back first."
"Go ahead."
Under the guidance of Jerry, Xiaolin stepped up the stairs with some difficulty and slowly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Lean put down the coffee cup, folded his hands behind his head, sunk his whole body deeply into the sofa, and kept his golden eyes on the person opposite him, "Things are already like this, even if you blame yourself again,
It doesn't help. However, your sister is unusually strong."
Leng Ling's eyelashes drooped slightly, leaving a small shadow on his pale eyelids, making it difficult to see the expression in his eyes at this moment.
After a moment, a metallic voice slowly flowed out of his mouth, "She does look very strong, but I know that she just doesn't want me to worry. This child has been like this since he was a child. He would rather get hurt than easily let go of the pain in his heart.
And sad to tell others.”
Hearing Leng Ling comment on his sister like this, Li En's eyes showed a trace of slight envy. Why didn't he have such a good sister? "What a good boy, Ling. You should feel lucky to have such a sister."
"kindness."
"Your Highness, Mr. Lean, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
Jerry came down from upstairs, holding a golden box inlaid with various gemstones. The colorful and exquisite colors exuded dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.
"This is……"
The hand wearing white gloves gently placed the box on the coffee table. Jerry slowly said under the gaze of the two people, "Your Highness, this is a relic left by the prince and princess. They took care of me during their lifetime.
When you find your knight, I must deliver this box to you. Now, you can open it."
Leng Ling was a little surprised when she saw this box.
In my memory, I have never seen this box. I only heard my grandfather mention it when I was very young.
After being canonized, every knight in the Lansen Kingdom will receive a ring from their master, the Leng family.
And Lien was also very curious about this box. He held his chin in his hand, his golden eyes showing a trace of amusement.
Leng Ling slowly opened the box. On the black velvet cushion, a ring lay quietly. The silver ring was inlaid with dark blue gems, and the light flowed like the sky in the dark night.
As long as this ring is worn, the knight cannot take it off until death. This is not only a symbol of the Leng family's knight status, but also a declaration of ownership of the knights by the Leng family, and always reminds them to always be loyal to their master.
loyalty.
Jerry then said, "Your Highness, you need to put this ring on Mr. Lean yourself, and Mr. Lean must also swear to you that he will always be loyal to you."
Leng Ling raised his head and his eyes fell on the man opposite. There was a calm and calm smile on his handsome face.
"I see."
Jerry's eyes swept over the two of them, and he leaned forward slightly, "Your Highness, Mr. Lean, I'm going to prepare lunch first."
Leng Ling nodded slightly, "Yes."
After Jerry left, Leng Ling and Li En were the only two people left in the spacious living room.
Lien Youyou stared at the ring in the box, and his drunken voice was filled with unabashed teasing, "You have to help me put on this ring with your own hands. Why do I feel like I am exchanging a token of love?" Youyou paused.
, he walked to sit down next to Leng Ling, and put his ear to the other person's ear, "It's just that I should wear it for you instead of you wearing it for me."
