The wind was clear and the sultry weather rarely became warmer. After tasting the delicious wild boar meat, Eaton fell in love with hunting in the forest. Riding on a tall horse, his legs looked stronger and slender.
He turned sideways and stretched out his hand to Luo Ning. Luo Ning also wanted to go out for a run. He put his hand in Eaton's palm and wanted to climb on the horse.
Eaton grabbed Luo Ning and made him sit in front of him. His broad arms were just enough to hold Luo Ning in his arms, and his chest was close to Luo Ning's back.
Eaton whispered: "Hold on tight."
As soon as the hand pulled the reins, the horse galloped over, and the comfortable cool breeze came oncoming. There were shadowy trees on both sides, and there were flowers of various colors on the roadside. During this rapid running, their moods suddenly became brighter.
Passing through a wheat field and a thorn bush, the road narrowed. After the green shadow faded behind it, there was a vast forest in front of it. The trees were huge and towering. There were various types of trees. The canopies blocked the sunlight above their heads. Green vines are intertwined, and a faint woody fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.
Luo Ning admired the scenery passing by. These places were so beautiful, quiet and peaceful.
Eaton had enough fun with Luo Ning. He held the horse and tied it to a nearby tree trunk. He asked Luo Ning to wait here. He was going to visit the place where the wild boar was last found. It was not safe to take his Little Freckles with him...
Luo Ning also knew that wild boars are quite ferocious, so he told Eaton to pay attention to his safety and not to get close to two wild boars.
Eaton remembered that wild boars liked to eat a kind of vine, so he went to look at that place and found that no wild boar had fallen into the hole he dug. Looking around, he found a few pheasants.
The crossbow in his hand was aimed at the target, and a dull sound was heard. The pheasants were frightened and flew around. Taking advantage of the chaos, it didn't take long for Eaton to get a few more prey.
He didn't stay long and went back to find Luo Ning with the pheasant. There were some thorns on the road. He asked Luo Ning to sit on the horse and led the horse while clearing away the thorns. Walking so slowly, he could still pick some thorns on the road. There are many wild fruits in places where no one has set foot. Wild mushrooms and wild fruits are particularly lush. Picking them is not only edible, but also a pleasure.
When they returned to the manor leisurely, the sunset filled the sky, and the orange halo shone, covering the entire manor in gentle colors.
Carriages were parked outside the manor. The horses were impatiently gnawing on the weeds on the roadside. Several knights stood there neatly, all with unfamiliar faces.
A guest must have arrived, Luo Ning and Eaton looked at each other.
Until a sturdy knight turned around, looked at Eaton with a slightly excited expression, and ran forward quickly, "Your Highness! So you are really here, I finally found you!"
"Koda." Eaton recognized this knight. He had been with him before, and the person who picked him up arrived so quickly.
Koda said excitedly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty and the Queen were almost crazy with anxiety. As soon as they received the letter, they quickly sent Duke Jesse to Lannis."
Eaton pulled Luo Ning into the manor. When he saw it was Eaton's uncle sitting in the living room, he was a little surprised. Tricia was also here.
The witch wearing a long black dress had a wrinkled face. When she saw Eaton, her face was glowing. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the downturned corners of her mouth made her look serious, but the emotion in her eyes was clearly happy.
Eaton smiled, "Ms. Tricia, long time no see."
Tricia was finally relieved, and even felt a little guilty. If she hadn't taken the wrong potion, how could she have harmed Eaton and Lannis?
She thought she was coming to help Eaton, but it turned out that Eaton's magic had been lifted, which meant that Eaton knew the secret of tomatoes.
It's a pity for Tricia. From now on, the delicious tomatoes will no longer be available to her alone.
"Your Highness, are you enjoying your stay in Lannis?"
If something happens to Eaton here, Tricia will not forgive her mistake.
Eaton smiled and said, "don't worry, I live a good life here."
Earl Kate is a very nice person, the food is delicious, and he has his favorite Little Freckles. Eaton is a little reluctant to go back.
All the guests came, and Earl Kate ordered people to entertain them well, and prepared a sumptuous dinner in the evening.
Turkey roasted with honey, cake made from roses, soup made from mushrooms, juice made from grapes.
It made Koda and Tricia unable to roll their eyes. They were usually rich and wealthy people.
But what they usually eat are dishes with strange colors. They have never seen food with such an attractive color. The surface is glowing, making people move their index fingers and feel hungry in their belly.
When they took it into their mouths, their eyes widened, as if they had pressed the pause button, and the emotion on their face changed drastically in the next second. How could it be so delicious? Is it really food?
Tricia simply doubted that these foods were magical, otherwise how could there be such amazing cooking?
Especially her favorite tomatoes, what kind of ketchup was made into it made her want to bite her tongue. She had to savor every spoonful for a long time, even her favorite gold coins could be compared to it.
Tricia even wanted to stay in this manor for a few more days. If she could eat ketchup every day, she was willing to use gems in exchange. Otherwise, she would just come here and become a witch.
The same is true for Duke Koda. The reserve of a nobleman is completely non-existent. Fortunately, he is so worried about his nephew. His nephew is simply enjoying happiness here. No wonder he looks a little stronger.
Luo Ning poked at the bread on the plate, but he didn't know how to eat it. People from the Carter Kingdom were here, which meant that Eaton was leaving too. Thinking about it, he felt so depressed that he couldn't get excited.
Eaton took his finger and squeezed it. After returning to the room, he told Luo Ning that he planned to return to the Carter Kingdom tomorrow. He hadn't seen his parents for a long time and had to go back and have a look to prevent them from getting too excited with worry.
Luo Ning twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it dryly.
There was a bit of hesitation in his expression. Eaton was his mission target at the beginning, and he should protect him.
But now Eaton has gotten rid of his original trajectory. If he follows Eaton, what will Earl Kate do?
Fili has already left. If he leaves too, Earl Kate will be sad. He is a gentle and kind father. Luo Ning is reluctant to leave, but he is also reluctant to leave Eaton. The journey between Carter Kingdom and Lannis takes a month.
Eaton pinched his face and said, "Little Freckles, I'll be back soon."
"Wait for me."
What Eaton said was very fast, it was really fast. He asked Tricia because he didn't have enough tools.
That's why they can't develop the magic of space transfer. They can just wait until they return to Carter's Kingdom. This kind of magic is very troublesome, but Tricia is very happy, even a little eager.
Why, that's the temptation of tomatoes.
Tricia did not expect that the prince could find a lover, and he was also an excellent lover who could make ketchup. She was eager for the two to form a partnership.
Luo Ning lowered his eyelashes and tried not to show sadness. According to his calculations, no matter how fast it was, it would take three months for Eaton to come back.
At this time, he was reluctant to leave Eaton.
Eaton is the closest to him, and he will definitely feel uncomfortable if he doesn't see anyone anymore.
Moreover, Eaton didn't even ask him to come with him, which made Luo Ning feel unspeakably disappointed.
After a while, he couldn't help but said: "How about I go and take a look with you."
Eaton said softly: "No, I'll go back by myself first, and then I'll take you to Carter to have a look."
He was reluctant to let Little Freckles take the boat. The feeling of taking the boat was simply too painful. He was constantly drifting on the sea, with only the sound of waves in his ears, swaying, and eating some hard-to-eat dry food. The half-month period really made people want to shit, sailing in a boat is a hell of a job.
Luo Ning's eyes darkened, and he was a little annoyed unconsciously. He took the initiative to speak, but Eaton refused so simply that he didn't want to see him anymore.
But Luo Ning didn't want to say it too bluntly. Even if Eaton refused, wouldn't it look like he wanted to follow?
He took a shower and climbed into bed in a depressed mood, with his back to Eaton. A smile flashed in Eaton's eyes. He knew that Little Freckles couldn't let him go, but watching Little Freckles sulking was a different kind of fun. It was so cute.
Eaton just acted like he didn't know, time can ferment feelings, and by enduring the temporary separation, Little Freckles will know how important he was. When he came back, he didn't believe Little Freckles could endure it.
He stretched out his arms to hold Luo Ning in his arms, rubbed his chin on Luo Ning's hair, and lightly traced his lips across the side of Luo Ning's face.
Luo Ning wanted to struggle angrily. He didn't appreciate Eaton's hug, but thinking that everyone would be leaving tomorrow, he stopped twisting, pursed his lips, and huddled quietly in Eaton's arms.
Eaton patted him gently and coaxed him to sleep as usual.
The next day, the team was about to head to the seaside port. Luo Ning was worried that Eaton would not have anything to eat on the ship, so he made a lot of dried meat and bread biscuits for him. He also prepared some mushroom jam and canned fruits, and gave him nagging instructions.
Eaton's eyes were gentle and he kissed Luo Ning's forehead. It would be great if he could put his lover in his pocket.
Duke Koda's teeth were a bit sour. Why did it take so long to say goodbye? He had been saying goodbye for almost half an hour and he still couldn't leave. The young man was so enthusiastic.
Duke Koda kicked the stones boredly and watched several mosquitoes fly by in front of his eyes. Eaton over there finally got on the carriage.
Watching the carriage gradually disappear from sight, until it was completely out of sight, Luo Ning returned to the manor.
There was worry in Earl Kate's eyes. It seemed that his youngest son's heart had been stolen, but why didn't Eaton say he would take someone with him?
He obviously loves his son very much, but if Eaton goes back and doesn't come back, what will happen to his younger son?
It's really sad.
Other nobles felt worried about raising a daughter, but he seemed even more worried after raising two sons.
Luo Ning usually felt that Eaton was too cumbersome, but after Eaton was no longer around, it seemed to suddenly feel empty. The seats were empty during meals, the room was deserted, and the familiar atmosphere suddenly disappeared, making the silence uncomfortable.
Occasionally, he turned around to say something, facing the cold air, and then he remembered that Eaton was gone.
Briquettes and Freckles 20
On the other side, Fili and Grell finally arrived at the royal capital after nearly a month of traveling, with the carriage swaying on the muddy road.
The territory is warm with the setting sun, while the royal capital is more prosperous. The surrounding brick-red buildings are tall, the streets are dark asphalt pavement, the walls of the houses are covered with moss that has been stained for too long, and pedestrians are coming and going and carriages, it seemed bustling, everywhere they looked, there were ladies in long skirts, gentlemen in vests, some drunkards moaning in the corners, and children running around with patches on their bodies.
The class gap is even more obvious in places like the Royal Capital. There is a sharp contrast between the rich and the poor. There are noisy voices in the market and a strong smell in the air, which is a bit nauseating. There are no toilets in the Royal Capital, so it can be solved everywhere. Personal problems, garbage and dirt pile up together, and the smell is overwhelming.
Fili frowned and subconsciously covered his nose. If he had lived in the royal capital for a long time, he would definitely be used to it.
But Fili has always lived in a clean and beautiful manor. Suddenly he smelled this strong smell. He couldn't stand it. He was worried that he would be fainted. How could it be so dirty? Isn't this the most noble royal capital? It can't be compared to his home territory.
Even Grell, who grew up here, looked ugly. After comparing it, he realized how unsightly the garbage outside was. He didn't know what to do when he walked to the market. Why are these people so careless? Grell secretly decided to order the construction of toilets throughout the royal capital when he returned to the palace.
He doesn't want to live in a smelly environment. The cattle pens in Earl Kate's manor are cleaner than here. To continue to be so dirty is to lose the dignity of a nobleman.
Pull the curtain of the carriage tightly, out of sight and out of mind.
Slowly and leisurely walking through the market, all the way to a tall castle, built of white stone, the city walls stood solidly, purple flags fluttered above, and twenty knights were neatly lined up at the city gate. The flowers were in full bloom, but they couldn't cover up the stench. They mixed together and gave people a headache.
The interior of the castle is very spacious, with various houses intertwined. Grell had a dark face. He took Fili back to the capital. Of course, he wanted to show everything better in front of Fili. As a result, the inside of the castle was not only more spacious. There were no other advantages. The big place was not as big as a count's manor. This made Grell feel embarrassed and lost interest in talking.
The king and queen of Lannis came out to greet him, hugged Grell and kissed him, smiling, "my child, you are finally back."
"What is it about this place that makes you so nostalgic?"
Grell briefly talked about his life during this period, and then went back to rest tiredly. He took Fili back to his room first, and asked the servant to bring hot water. After cleaning, he went to see the king and queen...
Grell introduced Fili, who was his lover.
But the smiles on the couple's faces froze for a moment. The queen thought he was just Grell's friend. It turned out that the relationship was not simple.
She turned towards the hands that the two of them were holding together, and looked at Fili up and down with her eyes. Fili's whole body became nervous, feeling that he had nothing to hide, and he lowered his head and his eyes flickered.
That kind of superior aura made Fili dare not raise his head and look at the person in front of him. The king and queen were too serious, and Fili could sensitively sense their displeasure.
The queen frowned tightly and smiled ugly. They had already found a marriage partner for Grell, but now a person they had never seen before suddenly appeared, and her expression couldn't help but become cold.
Even though Fili himself is the son of Earl Kate and a nobleman, these external conditions are just barely adequate. Because Fili was too restrained, his body shrank into a ball, and his years of silence made him not even raise his head or tiptoe. Together, they have a gloomy temperament and speak as softly as a mosquito.
The queen was most dissatisfied with his submissive appearance. He was too petty and didn't have the temperament that a noble should have. He looked like he came from a remote place.
This is not worthy of her son.
As the prince's partner, this person is far from qualified. Being the future queen is not just for pleasure. The queen represents the face of a country. She must maintain everything in the castle and be responsible for contacting the nobles.
If it were Fili, the queen believed that the other party would not be able to hold back even a single sentence. Then those nobles would be laughing at the royal family.
Externally and internally, he is not as good as the noble marriage she arranged. Why would Grell fall in love with such a person? What's wrong with those elegant and noble marriage partners? If she had known she should not have let Grell leave the royal capital. Save himself the trouble of coming back.
Under the Queen's increasingly unfriendly gaze, Fili became even more uneasy, with timid eyes and unspeakable disappointment in his heart. He came to see Grell's parents with expectations, but it was obvious that the two elders were not satisfied with him, is he so unlovable?
If the elders hate him, how can he get together with Grell?
Fili tried his best to calm down, restrained his desire to run away, and twitched his lips with difficulty, trying to show a polite smile.
But the unnatural smile made the queen frown even more tightly. She turned her head coldly and looked at the king.
Although she is very dissatisfied with Fili, her son obviously seems to like him. There are some things he cannot say directly now.
The queen said coldly: "Let's eat first."
The servants brought in the prepared bread and roasted meats and arranged them neatly on the long dining table.
Grell pulled Fili to sit down. He was obviously hungry, but he didn't show much interest when he saw the food on the table.
The bread looks normal, fluffy and soft, but the roasted meat is dark, and the fluff on the other roasted chicken has not been cleaned. The bare neck is ugly, and the soup on the plate is made of fruit, boiled to pieces, mixed with a handful of saffron, and piled together in a sticky mess, which makes him lose his appetite just by looking at it.
He was used to eating these before and didn't think there was anything strange about them, but after he tasted better things, he couldn't stand this kind of food at all, and he didn't even dare to touch his knife and fork.
Grell knew how unpalatable it was at first glance, but he felt hungry even if he didn't eat. After hesitating for a while, he put some in his mouth. The texture was very strange. The barbecue had a fishy and burnt smell, and it was too dry and hard to chew. However, the fruit soup is also full of sourness and astringency, making it difficult to swallow.
His face suddenly became distorted, and he tightened his grip on the knife and fork. He didn't understand why it had such an unpleasant taste, and he felt like throwing up as soon as it entered his mouth.
How could the dedicated cooks in the palace be inferior to those in the territory?
This process is like torture.
Fili also frowned, afraid of making people unhappy, so he held the thing in his mouth tightly and tried to act as if nothing had happened.
Grell didn't need to worry anymore and put down his knife and fork directly. The queen asked: "Why don't you eat it? This is the most expensive food. Isn't it your favorite?"
"That was before." Grell retorted directly, "now I feel sick after eating this disgusting taste."
Why do they want to vomit? The king and queen don't understand. It's obviously normal. The barbecue is hard to catch. The spices in the soup are the most precious. They don't want to touch such a luxurious meal...
Grell shook his head and said: "If you have tasted the food in Earl Kate's manor, you will know what is truly delicious."
"The cooking method is completely different. It's so magical that it makes people want to swallow it. That's what nobles should eat."
"No cow in Earl Kate's manor would eat anything like what's on display in front of me."
The queen smiled faintly. She didn't believe it was such an exaggeration, but how could a remote territory produce such good things?
Her son was really stupid in that place. He was so stunned by this man named Fili that he said some ridiculous things.
The couple were somewhat unhappy with Earl Kate. For the sake of Kate's gift of yeast, they were already polite enough to Fili.
But that kind of indifference made Fili feel uncomfortable in his heart. He could sense the contempt in their eyes, and they all looked down on him. The initial excitement when he came to the royal capital was gone, and only uneasiness remained.
He even began to doubt that if he left his hometown and ran to this unfamiliar place with no one to rely on except Grell, would he really be happy?
After finishing the meal, the king and queen stopped Grell and wanted to talk to him alone.
Grell comforted Fili uneasily and asked Fili to go back to the room first.
As Fili walked, he looked back at Grell, with worry on his face.
He could guess what he was going to talk about, and what Grell would say.
After closing the door, the king said directly and seriously: "I don't approve of you being with him."
That Fili does not have the character to be a queen. How can such a timid person take responsibility and maintain the dignity of the royal family?
Grell retorted dissatisfiedly, "I don't like the marriage partner you arranged for me at all. He can definitely learn the etiquette he doesn't know. I believe he will do a good job."
"If you insist on objecting, I won't be able to bear it."
Grell's insistence only made the king and queen temporarily give up their thoughts.
Fili waited tremblingly until Grell came back, threw himself into Grell's arms, pursed his lips in silence, and his inferiority complex began to surface again. He had never learned the etiquette of the royal family and didn't understand anything. His father was not a person who valued rules. Man, his etiquette can only be regarded as so-so, and it is impossible to meet the standards of the royal family.
So what does he know? The queen's look is like saying that he is useless. The only thing he can do is to plant vegetables, pick flowers, and clean. He has no idea how to help Grell.
Fili was a little scared, whether he would have to live in the eyes of others with contempt in the future.
Briquettes and Freckles 21
Luo Ning gradually got used to Eaton not being around. He thought it would take at least a few months for Eaton to come back, so he wrote a few letters and sent them to Carter Kingdom.
But a month later, when he was sleeping peacefully, a bright light burst into the manor, a faint purple-blue color, showing a strange pattern, and a tall figure walked out of the pattern.
Eaton wandered at sea for a long time before returning to the Carter Kingdom. After comforting his father and mother, he asked Tricia to study the magic of space transfer.
But Tricia was still unreliable. After trying magic twice, he turned into a frog for a while and a mouse for a while. After changing like this, he finally managed to use normal space transfer magic.
Eaton opened the door gently, looking at the person on the bed longingly, tracing Luo Ning's eyebrows with his fingers, wondering why his freckles had become thinner, and his face was no longer so round.
Eaton caressed Luo Ning's cheek and lowered his body, wanting to rub Luo Ning intimately.
Luo Ning's face was slightly itchy, and he could faintly sense another breath. He was startled, opened his eyes in fear, and turned his head suddenly. Through the blurred scenery, he could clearly see the outline of the man.
Is it Eaton? Eaton is back?
How could it be possible? Luo Ning felt that he was probably not dreaming. He blinked and confirmed carefully.
Eaton chuckled lightly, his strong body pressed heavily on Luo Ning, completely covering Luo Ning, and kissed the corners of Luo Ning's eyes with his lips.
Luo Ning was stunned by the light tickling touch of feathers. He realized that he was not dreaming. He stretched out his hand to pinch Eaton's face. Why did he come back so quickly? This was not normal.
Eaton whispered: "Little Freckles, do you miss me?"
He thought Luo Ning would deny it, but after Luo Ning stared at him for a while, he put his arms around his neck, buried his face in his chest, and hummed obediently.
Eaton's heart felt like it was stabbed by something, and it softened immediately. It was warm and warm. Why was his Little Freckles so cute? His eyes became darker and darker, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I miss you too. I miss you so much."
The tip of his nose touched Luo Ning and moved down slowly. Following his deepest desire, he took Luo Ning's lips into his mouth, slowly grinding them and licking them gently, like a bee collecting nectar, bit by bit, open the tender stamens.
Eaton's movements were very gentle. He didn't want to scare his beloved, so he tasted it with enough patience.
Breathing intertwined, Luo Ning wanted to push away the other person's hand, but instead grasped the other person's shirt, leaning on the other person's arms, withstanding the oppressive atmosphere from above, the gentle feeling made him feel very comfortable, and his eyes squinting slightly, a layer of blush appeared on his face, as if he was lying on the clouds, light and airy. Luo Ning responded subconsciously.
Eaton's movements paused slightly, his whole body became more emotional, and his movements became more passionate. The kiss made Luo Ning breathless, and the corners of his mouth were slightly red and swollen. The bright color was no different from rose petals.
Eaton kissed Luo Ning's face contentedly, feeling extremely happy. It turned out that his Little Freckles missed him so much.
He knew that Little Freckles couldn't bear to leave him.
This is even more surprising than Eaton imagined.
Luo Ning lay in Eaton's arms, calming his breath, his eyes misty, lying on Eaton's shoulder, "why are you back so soon?"
It will take at least four months to go back and forth.
Eaton took out a crystal clear bead from his arms. The beautiful bead shone with purple light, "because of this."
This is the magic crystal ball given by Tricia. As long as the spell is activated, the magic of space transfer can be used.
Luo Ning had forgotten that there was such a way. A long-distance relationship was nothing. He had forgotten that this was a magical world and everything was possible. He moved the crystal ball curiously.
Eaton whispered: "From now on, we can always be together, and we don't have to be separated wherever we go."
Luo Ning's ears turned red and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly. He thought of something and glared at Eaton, "then why didn't you tell me before?"
He suspected that Eaton did it on purpose, deliberately refusing to let him go with him, deliberately pretending not to notice his mood, and it was in vain that he had been lost for so long.
Of course Eaton did it on purpose, but he didn't have to admit it, otherwise Little Freckles would definitely be angry. He looked confused: "I wanted to come back as soon as possible in my dreams, and it was only after I went back that I thought of asking Tricia for help."
"I will return to Lannis immediately after the magic is successful."
Luo Ning was persuaded and nestled quietly in Eaton's arms. Eaton's chest was hard, but Luo Ning felt at ease, as if he was lying in the most familiar harbor.
When he came back, he found a sticky lover, and with the soft touch in his arms, Eaton finally no longer had to suffer from insomnia.
He kissed Luo Ning lovingly, patted Luo Ning's back gently, and coaxed Luo Ning to sleep.
It's late at night now, and he's a little tired.
Luo Ning opened his eyes uneasily early the next morning, and looked at the face of the man in front of him through the sunlight, and then he was sure that last night was real.
The man in front of him had his clothes slightly pulled open, revealing his obvious adam's apple, his chin had a strong curvature, and a few strands of hair fell in front of his eyes, making him look somewhat sexy.
Since he had already kissed him last night, there was no need for Luo Ning to be reserved. He followed his inner thoughts, got close to that handsome face, and kissed his smooth chin.
It was about to leave at the first touch, and just as he was about to retract in time, a generous palm clasped the back of his head. Eaton pressed over and pressed it accurately on his lips, with smiles in his blue eyes, seemed to be mixed with sunshine, and murmured between Luo Ning's lips: "Little Freckles wants to kiss me, why secretly do it? As long as you are willing, I will definitely let you kiss enough."
Luo Ning was so dizzy from being kissed that he bit Eaton's adam's apple in shame, but Eaton's eyes darkened instantly, dancing with a dangerous light, and his breathing became much heavier.
Luo Ning realized something, his face suddenly turned red, and he shrank quietly, daring not to move.
Eaton hugged him and kissed him until he was full, and leaned against Luo Ning's neck. It took a long time to calm down the restlessness, and then patted Luo Ning's little butt. People are greedy creatures. They were able to get close to her before. He suppressed his desire, but after tasting the sweetness little by little, he wanted more.
"Are you still making trouble?"
Luo Ning glanced at him unconvinced. Whoever made the fuss was obviously his own fault. But when he met Eaton's warm eyes, Luo Ning could only say that he was done with the fuss and awkwardly turned over to the bathroom to wash up.
Breakfast was being brought to the restaurant in piles. Earl Kate was enjoying black tea at his seat. When he saw the two people coming down from upstairs, he opened his eyes wide and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong.
Aren't people gone? Where did he come from?!
Eaton looked at him and said good morning, and Earl Kate asked in shock: "How did you come back?"
Eaton briefly explained, and Earl Kate was in a daze. He really didn't know that the woman in black clothes last time was a witch. He just thought she was one of Eaton's elders.
There actually were witches, and he even dined with them.
Earl Kate couldn't help being shocked. People said that witches were evil beings in legends. In his imagination, witches were hiding in the dark and constantly cursing people. Anyone who met a witch would be unlucky.
Unexpectedly, the witch turned out to be a woman who couldn't walk when she saw ketchup. The mysterious color seemed to be disillusioned all of a sudden.
Eaton tasted the milk and flower rolls on the table, and when he tasted the sweet and fragrant taste, he felt that he had come to life. After returning to his own kingdom, the bread was so hard that it filled his teeth. There was still saffron boiled chicken on the table, and it was dark. Eaton doesn't even want to think about the cooking, it's full of shadows.
He sincerely asked why the cook could make normal ingredients so unpalatable.
And the food he had eaten in the previous twenty years was just that kind of food, which makes him sad just thinking about it.
Eaton feels that he should thank Tricia. If it weren't for Tricia's mistake, he would not have met Little Freckles. Little Freckles is his salvation.
Eaton followed the cooking method he saw in the manor and couldn't help but give the cook some instructions. The food he made was barely edible. His parents, who had been tortured, were even more excited and astonished after tasting the soft bread.
In this way, there was no need for him to say anything. His father and mother simply accepted that he had found a lover in another country.
While Eaton was enjoying the delicious breakfast comfortably and serving soup to Luo Ning, Earl Kate keenly noticed the redness at the corner of Luo Ning's mouth, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. He had no idea what it was.
Eaton returned to Lannis. Lord Kate was relieved but heartbroken. His son no longer had to be disappointed, but he was taken advantage of.
......
In Lannis Palace, Fili was so sore that he couldn't straighten up. He stayed in the room boredly at first. Grell had something to deal with and couldn't stay with him all the time. Fili was extremely bored. He was good at what he did best. He can't even clean the room.
If he did that again, it would be an embarrassment to Grell, but there was no one to talk to him.
In just two days, Fili found that he was no longer happy as he had imagined, and had lost a sense of vitality. He stayed in an empty room, feeling a little flustered in silence, but he couldn't tell Grell or trouble him.
After a dull few days, the queen summoned him over. Fili bit his lip nervously. The more dissatisfied the queen was with him, the more uneasy he became and the more reserved he became in front of the queen.
The queen frowned, and in accordance with the agreement with Grell, she gave Fili a chance and invited the best teacher to teach him etiquette. She observed the progress from the side.
The two teachers seemed to have been measured with rulers. They looked strict and rigid, with two deep nasolabial wrinkles on their faces. They looked stern and their tone was very cold.
Fili was at a loss and subconsciously felt timid. He could only mechanically follow their instructions and raise his hands and feet step by step.
But his nerves were too tense and he couldn't relax. His stiff movements were like that of a wooden person.
The teacher who taught etiquette immediately criticized him. Fili straightened his back, cold sweat fell from his back, and his face turned pale.
He tried to calm himself down and wanted to do well, but his hands and feet just wouldn't obey his orders.
