It was already after ten o'clock when the carriage rushed back to Chai Anping's apartment. The bustling streets of the capital were already deserted. Especially the closer to the community where Chai Anping lived, the deserted it became. Many batches of guards could be seen patrolling.
.
Opening the door, there was cold moonlight in the living room, and the room light was shining under the door panel of Ellerbella's room.
"Oh, it looks like he's awake."
Chai Anping, who was originally looking forward to taking a shower and going back to his room to sleep, sighed, then regained his composure and knocked on the door of Ellerbella's room.
"Ellerbella, I'm coming in."
Opening the door, Ellerbella was sitting on the bed holding a book in her hands.
"Well……"
Seeing this scene, Chai Anping blinked his eyes and was stunned for a moment, this... isn't quite right!
At this time, although Ellerbella's face was still a little pale, she had calmed down, and the eyes that looked at her were weak but obviously no longer as broken as they had been at noon.
"Gracie, you're back!" Ellerbella closed the book and said calmly: "Where have you been?"
"Well..." He subconsciously said the reason he thought of: "The palace called me over because something happened. When did you wake up? Are you feeling better now?"
Although Ailebella appears normal to the naked eye, greetings are still required.
"Well, I woke up in the evening." Ellerbella nodded and said, "Have you eaten?"
Chai Anping's heart trembled when he heard this. Ellerbella's question made him confused again: "Eat... Well, go to bed early. We can wait until tomorrow to talk about anything."
Chai Anping, who originally planned to listen to Ellerbella's reasons, closed the door and left in a daze and panic.
Ellerbella's room returned to calm. She looked straight at the closed door with an incomprehensible look in her eyes. After a long time, she sighed faintly: "Strange..."
In order to prevent Gracie from suspecting her, she had tried her best to appear calm. As long as Gracie asked her just now, she would tell him directly what she did last night.
"When the bloody incident broke out, I was dragged away by the crowd...and later got lost..."
However, Chai Anping didn't ask her!
Why don't you ask her?
Ellerbella would never have thought that Chai Anping would use the forbidden magic stone to test her identity again because he smelled the faint smell of blood on her body, and had already concluded that she was one of the perpetrators of the murder last night.
one.
On the other side, Chai Anping opened the shower head and started taking a bath. He punched the wall with his fist. The previous confusion had been suppressed by him. His eyes were full of sternness: "What's 'Have you eaten?', ha, but
It’s just a pretense towards me!”
Ellerbella wouldn't know that the more tender she is now, the more she will add fuel to the fire in Chai Anping's heart.
the next day.
This morning's milk was finally delivered as scheduled, and it also came with a small card expressing apology.
Ellerbella, who had been thinking about it all night at the dinner table, took the initiative to tell Chai Anping about her accident. Chai Anping comforted her with a few words of concern and told her to go out as little as possible these days.
"Ellerbella, my vacation is over. I will go to the palace to stand guard in the morning. You can have a good rest at home. If you feel bored, you can read more books in my study."
Ellerbella naturally nodded obediently.
Watching Chai Anping leave the apartment, Ellerbella immediately frowned. She had been living with Gracie for half a month, and she could already roughly identify Chai Anping's emotions.
Although he showed sympathy for himself, he still gave himself a sense of alienation...
"What went wrong?" she couldn't help but think anxiously.
If she hadn't been worried that her magic had almost completely failed against Chai Anping, she would have been unable to help but activate her ability against Chai Anping again.
But now, to be on the safe side, she suppressed this impulse.
"You must tell the president about this change." Ellerbella had a strong sense of foreboding.
…
…
As soon as he arrived at the palace to report in the morning, Chai Anping was immediately called over by Francis.
"Gracie, do you know His Highness Jiawen?"
Your Highness...Prince?!
Chai Anping was stunned when he heard this: "How can a young man know His Highness the Prince?"
"That's right." Francis smacked his lips and touched his sparse forehead: "That's strange. The prince's escort has appointed you to guard the remote palace gate in the west of the palace, and it's still...
Leave yourself alone."
"So you'll probably just have to take turns there from now on."
"ha?!"
Chai Anping kept his eyes open, thinking that this must be Shyvana's fault!
"Alas! Originally I thought you had offended His Highness Jiawen, but the duty hours required by the escort were extremely loose, so I dispelled my doubts. What do you think? Are you willing to go?" Francis sighed.
: "Guarding that palace gate will be more than half easier than your current task."
Of course, it's relative - if you keep guarding in such a marginal area, it will be more difficult to get promoted in the future.
Are you willing?
What Chai Anping lacks most when studying alchemy now is time. Of course he would be willing to cut his working time in half!
"Of course you obey the order," Chai Anping said with a playful smile.
"As long as you are willing." Francis nodded: "It saves me having to intercede for you."
"In that case, then you can just go to that side door to be on duty today. I will order someone to re-plan your rotation. Of course, your organization will still belong to our escort team."
"Yes, sir!"
He put on the armor of a palace guard and rolled to the palace gate where he had already been on duty once.
Because it was morning, the place was not as gloomy as when Chai Anping first came. Just as Chai Anping stood still, the dragon girl Shyvana, who "happened to take a walk early in the morning," walked out of the inner court.
"Oh, young guard, what a coincidence!" Shyvana said in surprise.
Chai Anping twitched his lips when he saw this, and hehehe twice: "Yes, what a coincidence, Lady Sivana!"
Sivana moved a stone stool from somewhere and placed it under the tall tree next to Chai Anping. The sunlight shone through the gap. Chai Anping tilted his head and silently stared at Shiva, who was sitting comfortably on the chair.
Na.
This person...no, this dragon...!
Disgusting people!
Shyvana squinted her eyes and stretched her body comfortably, not shying away from Chai Anping seeing her exposed slender waist:
