"The next king? Last night, Li's subordinates exaggerated Li's identity," the baby-fat girl pouted. She was wearing children's clothes prepared for Thales, sitting on the carpet next to the fireplace with a funny and cute look.
Next, he continued to say the leaky words: "But we are now, now, not even princes."
Of course not. The number of people in the country who know that the king has a son probably doesn’t exceed two hands, okay? Thales said in his heart.
Am I going to tell you that Gilbert only said that on purpose because he was unhappy with looking at that golden-haired Deze? Thales rolled his eyes in his mind.
"I thought," Thales took a deep breath, looked at the pair of red eyes in front of him, and said, "We made an agreement in the Manor before: Since my blood is delicious, as long as you forget to take me
With the thought of sucking it dry in one breath, I will provide you with a small amount of blood regularly. While you enjoy my blood and serve me at the same time, I will ensure that you have a safe place to live in the stars."
"But Li doesn't have this kind of power," Serena said slowly but surely: "Come and protect us."
"Okay, that's right, I'm just an illegitimate child. So it's not me, but my father who has to ensure your safety..."
Serena stared straight at him, and suddenly interrupted him: "He is not his father, and he is not the king."
"So," Thales said helplessly: "I'm very sorry, but you are already in Mindis Hall, and your secret has been learned by us. I think the Kevin Dill family probably doesn't welcome you back either..."
"Half a pint." The red-eyed Loli said expressionlessly.
"What?"
"The blood in it, I need half a pint every day." She looked seriously into Thales' eyes.
"Half...a pint a day?" Thales also narrowed his eyes and looked at the Grand Duchess of the Eastern Continent. Is it just for my blood?
This boy's blood is different - Serena said silently in her heart, it was the blood full of vitality and power that woke her up from her chaotic sleep. Although, when she woke up, she found a guy gnawing at her
The neck was not very pleasant - Serena pouted unhappily and touched her neck.
Thales, don't forget, yesterday was the mummy version of this "little sister" - on the other side, Thales secretly thought in disgust - almost killed you. Thinking that he had been bitten by a mummy
He stretched his neck like a water pump... Thales, who was in a complicated mood, turned his neck unnaturally.
The two stared at each other in silence until one of them broke the silence.
"Are you kidding! Half a pint a day? Why don't you just suck me dry!" Thales stood up on tiptoes and slapped the table (otherwise he was too short to take a photo), and looked at her without showing any signs of weakness.
I just occasionally think of her mummified appearance, and I still feel a little confused.
"I wish I could drink up every drop of blood in my body," Serena stared at her red eyes, and replied seriously and creepily: "But it is obviously more cost-effective to let Li supply blood to me for a long time."
"You are really good at calculating money!" Thales shot back sarcastically.
"Three-quarters of a pint a day, I need to fly back as soon as possible." Serena's eyes turned cold and her tone was unquestionable.
"Do you think I'm a little strong guy who gets full of health and mana every time he levels up?" Faced with the opponent's gaze, Thales gritted his teeth and said, "I'll donate blood to you every day - there's no way!"
"I don't understand what's being said," the cold-faced Loli chose to ignore the crazy talk accidentally revealed by the time traveler: "Once a week, two pints."
"Once every six months! One-tenth of a pint! This is for the sake of our friendly negotiation." Thales said harshly.
"Once a fortnight, a pint and a half. Please use your actions to prove your friendship to me."
"Once a month at most! I also need time to make blood after losing blood, okay!"
Serena slowly stood up from the ground.
The red pupils looked at Thales, making his scalp tingle:
"Kid, don't challenge my patience."
"The reason I can still stand here and breathe air is because I am interested in the blood inside."
Serena's eyes shrank, her expression unchanged, suddenly showing a chill!
"If we want to leave regardless of sacrifice, we can't stop us, let alone-" Serena's eyes moved mysteriously, but her pupils did not leave Thales' gaze, making the traveler's hair stand on end:
"Here, the secret heir to the stars is hidden. Li guess, some great lords and nobles, are you interested?"
Taylor's scalp suddenly felt numb.
Damn it—old witch, Thales cursed.
But his fieldwork experience in his previous life made him realize that as the other party in negotiations, he could not show weakness.
"Okay," Thales tried his best to put on a happy smile on his face: "Your sister must also miss you very much. Especially, not only did you come to the stars for vacation, but you also turned into a cute little chubby girl.
"
"When the time comes, I won't be able to become the heir, and you won't be able to go back to the Kingdom of Night. Since they are so well matched -"
Thales smiled even brighter: "Why don't you just marry me."
The voice fell.
Serena's expression did not change, her eyes did not turn, and her body did not move.
But for some reason, Thales was shocked and felt a biting coldness in an instant!
The two sides looked at each other for more than ten seconds.
In silence, Serena spoke very slowly and slowly uttered a sentence:
"It seems that Li really wants to break up with me."
As she spoke, Serena suddenly grinned and showed her little fangs!
Thales was shocked.
His right hand hidden behind his back trembled, the dagger was ready and ready to be thrust out at any time!
"Okay then." Serena mysteriously curved the corners of her mouth and licked her fangs.
At this angle and distance, I can maneuver around for more than ten seconds.
Thales lowered his head, frowned, and swallowed hard.
As long as he doesn't meet Chris, Yodel can come. The guards, Jenny and Gilbert are also in the corridor, but Eastlund and Laurana - damn it!
But since he got the worst result, Thales could only choose to accept it.
He bent his legs slightly, spread his feet, prepared to raise his left arm, and held the dagger steady in his right hand, about to assume a standard "Iron Body Pose".
Northland Military Swordsmanship - Although I only practiced it for two hours, I hope you can get value for money, Thales said with a wry smile in his heart.
For the first time, Serena suddenly broke into a disturbing smile.
The childish voice sounded, which sounded particularly terrifying to Thales’s ears:
"Then I have no choice but to compromise. As the book says, it should be once a month."
"How many pints, Taylor has the final say."
She used her left arm as a shield to block her first attack. Based on her experience with the mummy last night, I wonder if she would—eh?
Thales suddenly realized what Serena said.
What?
compromise?
Thales opened his mouth in surprise, enough to fit two of Serena's fists.
Just when my side was about to "Assasi", the enemy army - surrendered?
Why don't you follow the original plan?
Something even scarier happened later.
I saw two faint dimples appearing on Serena's cute face.
The little Loli smiled shyly and said: "Brother Thales, I have compromised, but I have to agree to a condition, okay?"
Thales couldn't react at all and looked at the other party blankly.
Seeing the three-no girl suddenly transformed into a smiling little lolita, he was like - what the hell is this!
His mood changed so quickly that he could only respond passively with a dry voice:
"What...ahem...what...conditions?"
The little girl smiled even brighter.
At that moment, Thales suddenly felt that those strange red eyes were actually quite beautiful.
"Brother Thales, after Li becomes the king, can you support me in regaining the throne?"
Take back...the throne?
The Eastern Continent’s... Kingdom of Night?
It turned out to be this plan, no wonder there were so many concessions.
"Well, this goal is too far away," Thales scratched his head - his dagger had already been put back in his pocket - and said a little awkwardly and hesitantly: "If I really become a king one day, well,
Depending on the circumstances……"
Before she finished speaking, the little loli jumped up happily!
He ran straight into Thales's arms!
"I know that Thales is the best!"
Thales fell hard to the carpet.
But before he could pull away the little Lolita in his arms, he saw a pair of red pupils, looking at him watery at the moment.
Looking at those eyes, Thales felt his whole body trembled.
His brain is a little messed up!
So much so that he couldn't remember clearly what the two children said after they got up from the ground.
In the end, the blood supply agreement was set at one-eighth of a pint per month. For this, Thales calculated it with his fingers, and it was not much.
But he still felt that he was at a loss.
"For this purpose, I obtained the help of two super-level masters and an extreme master," Serena suddenly turned back into a Lolita with a lackluster expression, but said with sharp eyes: "The road to becoming the heir will only become smoother."
Yes - Thales thought depressingly - if you gain the support of a powerful country in the Western Continent, your path to regaining the throne will be smoother.
"Furthermore, for Thales' promise, I will work hard to help Li become the heir and ascend the throne!"
Promise - Thales' face twitched.
I probably didn't agree to her just now, right?
Didn't you agree?
Didn't you agree...?
But, hey, what's with that cold face that suddenly changed back?
Seeing the little Loli staggering out, Thales suddenly realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
I always feel like something is wrong.
"By the way, I have a question." When leaving, the little Loli turned around and asked with her usual deadpan expression: "What's the secret of the blood in it?"
"Just a little bit can actually wake me up?"
"That was not a 'little bit' of blood last night!" The confused boy complained unhappily: "Please read books, look up information, search for literature, or ask my parents directly about this question!"
Unexpectedly, Serena actually nodded seriously: "If you have the opportunity, I will pay for it." She raised her eyes: "My blood and my strength, my throne and my throne, our cooperation, in fact,
Very cost effective.”
The next moment, Thales was surprised to see Serena shaking her young body and taking a step back.
"For this reason, I apologize for my rashness and the recklessness of my subordinates, and pray for your generosity and tolerance."
Serena leaned down again, held up the non-existent skirt with her chubby little hands, and said softly in a childish voice: "The future His Highness Thales Bright Star."
Thales was stunned for a moment.
Thales Brightstar.
This is the first time someone calls him that.
Just like Serena said before: After all, he is not even a prince now.
From a beggar to His Highness—sure enough, he is still not used to it, Thales thought distressedly.
This witch - Thales, who was dripping with cold sweat, kept reminding himself of this, despite the stern look on her face before - should we say that she was really the former Grand Duchess?
Thinking of this, Thales sighed deeply, feeling that today's negotiation was a bit frustrating.
He seriously stretched out his hand and helped the little Loli up. Although the two children's actions looked funny, they both became extremely serious.
"Your Highness Serena Corleone, I accept your friendship."
Thales moved his right hand in front of the little lolita Serena, with serious eyes: "Now, we are allies."
Serena glanced at him, her red eyes flashing.
After a moment, she also stretched out her chubby little hand and put it on his palm: "Of course, Stars and Night, happy cooperation."
The two little hands were gently held together.
"Also, keep your people away from my guards in the future - they have an unsolvable blood feud!"
Thales looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than him and said meaningfully: "Next time, you might as well tell me how you reset - you don't have to go to great lengths to test my attitude, Eastlund's
The acting is so bad.”
Serena's red pupils shrank slightly and she nodded: "Okay, if the future His Highness Thales succeeds to the throne and we form a Starry Night Alliance..."
"Although we are far apart, it is not impossible for us to marry each other!"
The depressed Thales was so choked that he wanted to vomit - who will take away this guy who is leaking his words!
