"Are you sick?" Alsain stretched out his hand to touch the forehead of the boy who was much taller than before, and now only half a head shorter than him, but saw Ernest's face blushing even more.
The heat was steaming, and Ernest's eyes were filled with moisture.
Elsain silently withdrew his outstretched hand, slightly puzzled: "It's so hot, but it's clearly not like being sick."
Ernest didn't let the conversation continue, but tilted his head, only showing half of his red ear, and stammered an explanation: "I just feel a little hot."
Elsain looked at the burning cloud in the sky, but didn't speak.He didn't intentionally tease Ernest as usual, but took advantage of the opportunity to flip the topic.The protagonist always has many secrets, so there is no need to delve into them.
Why not himself?
Elsein didn't get too entangled in Ernest's topic, but sat back on the soft sofa in the middle of the living room, opened the box Princess Hilda gave him, and carefully looked at it inch by inch from the inside to the outside.
Ernest was relieved quietly when he saw that Elsain was not dwelling on this topic, walked quickly into the bathroom, took a handful of cold water and slapped it on his face.
He moved in a hurry, wet the skirt of his clothes and the broken hair between his forehead, and stuck to his body wetly, looking a bit embarrassed.
Ernest raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror, with some youthful air, but immature.He suddenly felt a little frustrated.
He didn't quite understand why he suddenly felt a kind of powerlessness, as if there was something he wanted to grasp but couldn't really touch it.
Obviously standing at such a short distance, but it seems to have reached the end of the journey.
Ernest clenched and loosened his hands, and his eyes were confused for a moment.
He asked himself, isn't this bad now?
Very good, it should be very good.
But there always seems to be a voice in my heart saying again and again: Not enough... not enough...
So greedy, like a beast that can't get enough.
But how can it be enough?Ernest himself doesn't seem to be able to tell.
He wiped his face, feeling the heat on his body gradually dissipating against the cold wall, leaned against it for a while, and then stepped out of the bathroom, and saw Alsain put away the box.
In the original book, the matter about the pattern was briefly mentioned, and it only shows that the related items were found by Princess Hilda, and then handed over to her brother, which caused a small problem of the leakage of dark elements.
Therefore, Elsain is not very clear about the details of this thing. Now, after careful inspection, he can only confirm that the pattern is exactly the same as the one in the text, and he cannot be sure about the others.
It seems that we still have to wait for the right time.Elsain put the box away, looked at Ernest who had returned to normal, and asked him with a normal attitude: "The king's birthday will be in a week, and I'm going to the birthday dinner. Are you going too?"
"Go." Of course Ernest gave an affirmative answer.
The room returned to silence.
For a period of time thereafter, Ernest went out more frequently at night, and every time he came back with a strong smell of blood.In fact, he knew that Elsain would not care about his appearance, but he didn't want to always appear in front of the other party covered in blood.
That's not pretty.
Moreover, when you come back later, you won't run into Elsain who just finished bathing.After all, Ernest was very afraid of meeting again in the previous scene, which brought him a strong sense of loss of control, as if the tight string in his mind would break at any time, bringing irreparable consequences.
And what made Ernest feel relieved or disappointed was that Elsain seemed to be busy with something during this period, and he didn't ask him many questions about him going out frequently and then coming back covered in blood.
Just as Ernest deliberately kept his distance, wanting to approach but afraid of approaching, the dinner party on the king's birthday arrived.When Ernest turned into a black cat and hid in the shadow of Elsain, he felt a sense of relief.
He raised his head and quietly glanced at Al Sein from the gray shadows.
At this moment, they are so close.
It's like the two closest people in the world are within reach.But Ernest knew that was not true.
The king's dinner is grander and more luxurious than Princess Hilda's.
The running water is usually a delicacy, and it is put on the table as if it does not cost money, and the bright lights illuminate everything brightly.
Singing and dancing to promote peace, toasting and interlacing.The nobles gathered together with smiles on their faces, talking about recent interesting stories, and praising the king's merits.Everything is so luxurious and boring, without any new ideas.
But Elsain keenly sensed something was wrong, his tasteless look became energetic, and his back became straight from relaxed.
The king's dinner is of course the king's home court, and he is the most important center.However, what also surprised Elsain was that the envoy from Montau who was supposed to appear at the dinner party did not appear at all.
Due to customs, Monto's costumes are very different from those of the Kingdom of Santorini, but at the banquet where they were supposed to appear, Elsain did not see them at all.You know, the marriage that Princess Hilda is worried about is basically a certainty.
That's why the princess was so eager to find him before, and even more quickly searched for what he wanted, wanting to finalize the agreement immediately.
But at the king's banquet, there was no Monto envoy, which was a very special signal.
Elsain scanned the entire banquet hall, the eldest prince and the second prince were entertaining the guests as usual, but there was no sign of Princess Hilda, who was active and easily revealed her true emotions.
This thing is not right.
Alsain took the wine handed over by the waiter, but did not drink it.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building. It seems that something must have happened.
Elsain stroked the glass in his hand and held it tightly.So what kind of thing?What happened to the marriage?
There was a "ping" sound, and his glass was touched lightly.
"What a coincidence." Fortuneteller Tina raised the glass in her hand, pursed her gorgeous red lips, and the Silver Knight who was following her nodded slightly to Elsain.Elsain also smiled back.
"Ah... the weather tonight seems to be very bad, and it seems that the crown is not as beautiful as before." Tina pouted her lips and regretted playfully.
The Silver Knight was accustomed to her frivolous attitude, but he still frowned fiercely, nodded apologetically to Al Sein who paused slightly, and half-forcibly took Tina away.
"Don't be so serious." Tina's complaining voice gradually faded away, and the color of Elsain's eyes became deeper and deeper.
Tina's meaning was clear.Bad weather means that the situation of the divination is unknown, and mentioning his name specifically means that the situation tonight is related to him.
It seemed that this was destined to be an unusual night for him.
It's... interesting.
Who is it?
Monto?Princes?Or... His Majesty the King?
Elsain sat on the soft sofa on one side, leaning back slightly, showing an expression of interest.
Really looking forward to it.
