Chapter 3324 The Trial of the Big Fool (One Hundred and Twenty Seven)
Chapter 3324 The Trial of the Great Fool (127)
"It is indeed a lotus pond." Edmund soaked his body into the pond and let the cold water cover his lower abdomen: "It is really elegant to take a bath in the lotus pond."
"Ha, haha..." Elaine also soaked in the pool, letting the cold water cover half of his chest: "Make the pool water a little warmer?"
"Please." Edmund obviously didn't like cold baths.
Elaine then took out the Luna Steel Scimitar coated with a small amount of flame rosin and put it into the water. The magic of the flame rosin would not be easily extinguished by the water. Instead, its fire spread in the pool, and heat also flowed out of it.
Warm the water in the pool. But this pool is where lotus flowers grow after all. Elaine doesn't want to use too hot water to hinder the growth of the plants. She just wants to make the water a little hotter to make the bath more comfortable.
Water mist is constantly falling from the sky, and sometimes the mist turns into fine raindrops, which fall silently into the pool. This kind of pool is formed just by this seemingly insignificant, but infinitely replenishing water mist.
, and there are lotuses growing in the pond, which is really a miracle. There is almost no soil at the bottom of the pond, only a very thin layer of dust-like things. But the water lilies in the pond actually come from that rare soil.
It is a miracle among miracles that it absorbs nutrients to feed itself and blooms such a beautiful lotus flower.
"You can still survive in such a harsh environment. What a tenacious vitality." Edmund stared at the snow-white and quiet flowers and sighed: "It's just like His Highness the Prince."
Come to think of it, Bailey said something similar before.
"That's not true..." Elaine denied a little shyly.
Edmund smiled and did not continue the topic.
"Well, His Highness Bailey was here just now, so it's not convenient for me to say." The Blood Lion continued to ask: "But His Highness Bailey...is not actually a lion man, but is disguised with illusions, right?"
Elaine was stunned for a moment.
"...You, when did you see it?"
"I knew it from the beginning. Dragons have the ability to see through illusions, and so do dragon beasts. I saw through that illusion when I turned into Snowdramon."
So Edmund knew about Bailey's disguise from that time on, and never revealed it.
"First of all, let me explain that he is indeed Leo's son. We did a paternity test on him when we were in Great Britain. There will be no mistakes." Elaine replied: "It's just...his mother is a fox."
Leo donated genetic material to a welfare institution in Montpellier, and then the institution there used Leo's genetic material to breed slaves without permission, and gave birth to Bailey."
"What about the fox man...what a bad fate." Edmund sighed.
"You, you hate fox people?"
"They did not directly participate in the attack on the Kingdom of Solis. But I know that the foxes were behind the invasion of the Kingdom of Soris by the human coalition." The Blood Lion shook his head and said, "It is not an exaggeration to say that the foxes indirectly destroyed the Kingdom of Soris."
."
"But, but Bailey is innocent, he is just a child who knows nothing." The white lion boy emphasized.
"I know. His Highness Bailey, who was born as a fox, can't help himself. No one can choose his own origin." Edmund washed his face with pool water and continued: "And His Highness Bailey is so well-behaved and cute. You have to."
It would have been perfect if it weren't for the filthy blood of the foxes remaining in his body. It's the noblest Thoris royal bloodline paired with the filthiest foxman bloodline... How ironic."
"No, no, nothing is perfect." Elaine said: "The kingdom has been destroyed, and the Solis royal family is gone. The kingdom is gone, and what's the point of having the royal bloodline? You, don't you think
Is it possible for the Kingdom of Solis to be restored?"
"I did have such expectations, although I also know that it was just a wishful thinking." Edmund suddenly approached Elaine: "But, has the Thoris royal family really been wiped out?"
Because Edmund was so close, their faces were almost touching. Elaine was so frightened that sweat formed on her forehead and her heartbeat accelerated.
"You, what do you mean——"
"That lion's roar is a power that only the royal family can use." Edmund asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince claims that he is the adopted son of the king. Since he is an adopted son, he should not have the blood of the royal family in his body, right? But why can you, Your Highness, use it?"
Where’s that lion’s roar?”
In retrospect, Elaine did use that lion's roar in front of Edmund. When dealing with the boss of the underground layer of Atlantis, Storm Slime.
Did this guy Edmund see everything at that time...
"Could it be that, Your Highness, you are actually the king's illegitimate son, or something?" The Blood Lion asked: "If so, the bloodline of the royal family does not seem to be cut off, and there is still the possibility of restoring the country?"
"This, this is not what you imagined." Elaine had to explain: "This, there are very complicated reasons for this. I, I just copied that ability."
"Oh?" Edmund was still doubtful.
"...You, why do you know the lion's roar of the royal family?" Elaine asked back: "No, shouldn't there only be a few people related to the royal family who know this secret?"
It's not like King Thoris would just perform that lion's roar for the general public to see.
"Well... that's a good question..." Edmund stepped back and did not pursue Elaine: "I think we each have some secrets that we don't want to share."
More sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead. Edmund's background seemed not simple.
"King, the royal family is really extinct. No matter what you think." Elaine insisted: "King, the kingdom is also destroyed. Don't always think about reviving the Solis Kingdom. It can't be done."
"I understand." Edmund looked a little disappointed: "But I will still protect His Highness the Prince. It has nothing to do with reviving the kingdom. His Highness the Prince saved my life and liberated me from my status as a slave. It's just this."
, it is worth my life to protect it to the end."
"Bay, where's Bailey?" Elaine asked in confusion.
"...His Royal Highness Bailey is relatively secondary."
"Belici is the first priority! He, he is Leo's son!" Elaine complained angrily: "Really, if you really want to say that the blood of the royal family belongs to him!"
"But he is a fox man." Edmund still couldn't help but show a little disgust.
"Is origin really so important?!"
"It's very important. The noble blood of the Solis royal family is beyond the reach of ordinary people. But similarly, His Highness Bailey's blood has been contaminated by the foxes. With the vile and filthy blood in his body, he is no longer suitable -"
Boom!——
Without thinking too much, Elaine's fist hit Edmund's face hard. The punch was so hard that Elaine even felt her hand burning.
"No, don't say bad things about Bailey anymore." The white lion boy said, "Don't say that his fox blood is dirty! Otherwise, I'll beat you every time! Beat you to death!"
"...I understand. I won't mention this matter again." Edmund covered the left side of his face that was hit: "I'm really sorry for making His Highness feel unhappy."
"I, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have hit anyone." Elaine rubbed his fist. How painful his hand was. Edmund who received the punch with his face must have suffered ten times more pain.
Bar.
"You, can't you change your name and stop calling me His Royal Highness?" Elaine asked again.
"His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness."
"But I, I am just the king's adopted son...I am nothing..."
"There must be a reason why King Thoris would adopt you. Since even the king recognizes you as his child, why aren't you a prince?"
Elaine couldn't refute. Moreover, in his memory, King Soris was very kind to him and took good care of him. Sometimes Elaine even felt that the king pampered him and neglected the real prince Leoport.
King Thoris is the kind of person who is not good at expressing emotions to his flesh and blood relatives. But Elaine is an outsider without blood, and Elaine was just a fluffy little bear at the beginning, so maybe she was really lovable. Leo
He is not jealous of Elaine, and even sticks to Elaine all day long when the king is not around. In other words, the king and his son both like to stick to Elaine...
And Bailey is like this now, clinging to Elaine all day long. Like father, like son, like grandfather, like grandson...
Elaine sighed. It seemed that trying to correct Edmund's statement would be fruitless. She could only do as he liked.
"Not bad, it's almost time to go back." Elaine groaned. Bailey said that breakfast would be ready in ten minutes, and they also took a bath for about five minutes. It was almost time to go back for breakfast.
"One more thing." Edmund took out a small thing from his clothes and stuffed it into Elaine's hand.
"This, this is?" It looked like some kind of remote control.
"The remote control of the bomb is buried in my heart." Blood Lion replied in a low voice: "Although I have always hidden my abilities and never let others know that I have the ability to transform. But after all, Lord Montpellier
She has never trusted me and has always been on guard against me. She buried this kind of thing in my body to try to control me. But she has never used this thing."
Elaine's face gradually turned pale: "You, what do you want to do by giving me this?"
"Just in case." Edmund said calmly: "I have said it too. If I keep turning into a monster, my consciousness will be eroded by the beastly nature of the monster and I will gradually lose myself. This kind of erosion does not seem to be a big deal at the moment.
, but when I turned into a frost-eating spider yesterday, there were indeed a few moments when I felt that I was not myself. I was...a little scared. I was afraid that I would hurt you, Your Highness.
So giving this to you, just in case.
If one day, my bestial nature completely erodes my humanity and makes me do something to hurt His Highness the Prince...or His Highness Bailey...then please don't hesitate to use this remote control to end my life.
I think this is the best way to handle it."
So Elaine was stunned again.
When he came to his senses, he punched out again, directly hitting the other side of Edmund's face.
"No!" he shouted, slamming the remote control to the ground. The thing was thrown from the roof and shattered instantly: "What are you thinking, idiot! I will never use this kind of thing! How can I
You may end the life of your comrade with your own hands!!"
"But in this way I will endanger His Royal Highness——"
"I don't care! You are responsible for your own life! If you feel that you are losing your humanity, just use your will to drive away that beastly nature and restore your humanity!" The white lion boy said angrily: "Bite Meow always thinks about it.
Relying on other people’s hands to clean up your mess! I won’t do it!”
So Edmund fell silent again, covering the other side of his face where he had been beaten.
"I understand. I'm sorry for making such an excessive request to His Highness the Prince." He whispered: "I will find a way to keep myself humane. I will never cause trouble to His Highness the Prince."
"You'd better be!" Elaine shouted: "You'd better be!...End the lives of your companions with your own hands...or something...I don't want...!"
Edmund reached out his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of Elaine's eyes wordlessly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to hurt you, Your Highness."
"I, I'm sorry too." Elaine cried.
"But I am very happy that His Highness the Prince regards me as a companion." Edmund added.
Elaine then turned away and tried to cover up the blush on her face. (It didn't work)
"Anyway...shall we go back?" the blood lion asked: "Breakfast must be delicious, otherwise you won't grow up."
"Human, I'm not a child..." Elaine complained in a low voice.
