Blood Princess and the Knight

"I will fulfill my duty and relieve His Majesty's worries. Please forgive me for not being able to stay with His Majesty." Bai Ming knelt down on one knee and begged. "You are not relieving my worries." Austin said bitterly after hearing this and being silent for a long time.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely eradicate everything that threatens you."

"But what if that thing also threatens your safety?"

"I don't know, but it's my duty."

"stand up."

Bai Ming stood up in accordance with Austin's order. Before he could stand still, his hand was grabbed, and then he was pulled into a warm embrace. "Now, even the dull Bai Ming was confused and didn't understand what Austin was doing suddenly.

"You don't cherish your own life so much?" Austin said in a deep voice, feeling the touch of flesh in his arms.

"Sorry, I couldn't hold it back suddenly. I didn't scare you." "Your Majesty, what do you want to say to me?"

"Have you ever thought that if the Ancestral God Cult really summoned that monster, could I really send you to such a dangerous place of death?" "But this is my duty, Your Majesty."

"Responsibility?" Austin was silent for a long time. "But if one day, I can't find you anymore, I will be very sad." "Really." Bai Ming tilted his head. "I see."

"No, you don't understand at all." Letting go of Bai Ming and looking at Bai Ming's expressionless face, Austin knew that his emotions had not been conveyed to Bai Ming smoothly, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"You are unique to me. If I lose you, there will never be a replacement." Austin looked at Bai Ming affectionately. "Unique" Bai Ming seems to have a hard time understanding the meaning of this word. "I don't understand. I should be more than just a female knight in the palace." "But when I was most desperate, you were the only one who stepped forward without hesitation and reached out to give me a hand." Austin looked at Bai Ming seriously.

I understand, I will be careful. "

"Don't say such things again in the future. I don't want you to take risks because of me." Austin looked at Bai Ming like this. For some reason, the girl knight was clearly in front of him, but he felt far away from her. This feeling of being far away made him feel uncomfortable. He was a little flustered.

"If this is your Majesty's order, I will carry it out. But Your Majesty, there will be a day when we can't help ourselves." "We can't help ourselves." Austin slowly closed his eyes, then opened his eyes with difficulty, and smiled ugly. laugh. "Forget it, let's not bring up this topic. Bai Ming, can you go make me a pot of tea?"

"The tea I make tastes terrible, and you know it, Your Majesty."

"Of course I know, but I also said, as long as it's made by you, I'll drink it no matter how bad it is." Austin smiled. wn obeys the order. "Bai Ming retreated.

Not long after, she entered the room carrying a tea tray. "Sit down and drink tea with me for a while."

Knowing that this was an unquestionable order, Bai Ming didn't say much, and sat on the bedside with Austin, looking at the heavy rain outside the window and sipping tea. Well, I must have poured the boiling water in all at once, crushing the tea leaves directly.

Austin took a sip of tea and commented lightly in his heart.

In terms of taste alone, it was very bad. Good tea leaves are more delicate, so the craftsmanship of the tea maker is more considered. Obviously, the girl's hands, which are good at holding swords, are not suitable for making tea. Austin was not picky. When he thought that this was tea dropped by Bai Chen's hands, he didn't feel bad about it.

In the room, the atmosphere gradually became silent, with cold rain hitting the doors and windows, but the sweetness and heat emanating from the tea filled the room with a hint of warmth. "Bai Ming, do you feel anything when you look at the heavy rain and fallen leaves outside the window?"

"It's raining heavily and the leaves are flying fast." Bai Ming expressed his only feeling. "Then what"

there is none left. "

As always there is nothing poetic about it.

"You see, the rainwater and fallen leaves have a destination." Austin said with emotion. "I often wonder where my destination is." "When I am no longer the emperor, where will my destination be?"

"Isn't it a royal palace?"

"The palace will not belong to me forever. Moreover, it would be cruel to say that this cold palace is my destination."

"Bai Ming, have you ever thought about this problem?"

"When the day comes when you are no longer a knight serving the empire, and finally let go of the shackles of responsibility, what do you want to do when life truly belongs to you?"

There is a weed patch in my backyard, and I think I would be hungry to learn some planting techniques. "After thinking for a moment, Bai Ming replied. "Isn't that what I said? Have you never considered finding a partner to accompany you?"

"companion""

"Yes, humans are social animals, and one person cannot survive in this world alone." Austin said with emotion. "After all, we are human beings. We will feel lonely, anxious, and depressed. Loneliness will cause heart disease and make us more autistic. In fact, your heart is longing for communication with outsiders."

"That's why talents need a partner, a partner who can accompany them." "Company" Bai Ming thought for a moment and answered. "I have a little dog at home."

"I don't mean pets, I mean people, the people you spend your life with, the partners you give birth to offspring with." "I think this kind of thing doesn't matter." Bai Ming thought.

He said he didn’t want to either. "It sounds quite troublesome."

"Isn't life just troublesome?" Austin said with black lines on his head. "Don't you think it's troublesome to fight for me and slay the blood dragon?" "It's not troublesome, because it's my duty." Bai Ming said seriously, making Austin feel dumb.

"So, are we friends now?"

"right."

"If one day I am no longer the emperor and you are no longer a knight, will you still stand up like you did that day?" "Yes."

"Why"

"I will not acquiesce to someone hurting others in front of me, even if I am not a knight." Bai Ming said decisively. "Then, if you don't have this bottom line, will you just sit back and do nothing?" Bai Ming was silent.

"Bai Ming, I hope your answer is no." Austin smiled. "There is no need to tell me your answer. If you give yourself a negative answer, you will still save me. Please think about why you think so."

"Obviously I am no longer the emperor, and you are no longer a knight. And when you have no bottom line, why did you still instinctively make the decision to save me?"

"Understand, Bai Ming, this is what I call, human feelings." Austin looked at Bai Ming tenderly.
