That's right, it's Princess Aurora. (VIII) (1) Chinese Net ん.81.

The princess, dressed in a milky white gown, sat at the table, her eyes staring at me quietly, like a princess of an old kingdom.

No, she was a princess, a princess of the dwarves.

Facing the noble Aurora, I was a little overwhelmed, even to the point of flustering hands and feet and sweating profusely.

Racial differences aside, the opposite side is the royal family, as long as it is a royal family, there will be a lot of troublesome rules and constraints, such as how to put your hands, how to stand with your legs, how to sit down, how to get up, and so on.

I think I have never been a rich guy in my two lives, how can I know what etiquette and what rules I should pay attention to when eating and drinking!

When Princess Aurora saw my dazed and flustered appearance, she covered her mouth and smiled, and she took off the white tulle gloves she was wearing on her hand, gently put them aside, and said to me, "Come here, the dishes will be dry in a while, and it won't be delicious." ”

As she spoke, she lifted her gloves again and shook them gently at me: "Don't be nervous, there are no rules, you see, my gloves have been taken off." ”

I smiled awkwardly before hesitantly sitting down across from her.

Princess Aurora nodded at me, smiled softly, and expertly picked up her knife and fork to eat.

I also picked up the knife and fork and ate it jerky and awkwardly.

The princess took a few bites, picked up the goblet crystal cup, took a sip of the pale pink liquid in the cup, and said, "Thank you really for yesterday's incident, fortunately with your help, otherwise the result may have become very bad." ”

"Ah, you're welcome" I took a piece of foie gras, put it in my mouth, chewed it twice, it tasted a little bitter, not delicious.

Princess Aurora began to chew again, glancing at me with her eyes from time to time, while I was intently savoring the various foods, and I looked completely absent-minded about Princess Aurora's actions.

Soon, I realized that the atmosphere here was a little cold.

Stopping the movement in my hand, I tentatively asked, "Huh...... You called me here today just to thank me, right? ”

"Uh... How to say, actually, the "Princess Aurora" was confused by my sudden questioning, her eyes wandered left and right, and after a while, she said: "It's not exactly to say thank you, but it does mean thank you......"

With a sigh of relief, I put down my knife and fork, looked at her seriously, and said, "Say, besides thanks, there is something else to ask me." ”

After saying this, I felt a little too casual, so I added: "But I didn't say that I would definitely accept it." ”

"I'm sorry" Princess Aurora's heart seemed to calm down, her cheeks were still slightly red, but they were much better than just now: "The behavior just now made you smile. ”

"Actually, I invited you here today because I want to clarify and ask you something" She also put down her knife and fork, looked at me seriously, a little, and said: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, I guess, you should already know some of the characteristics of Saladica by now." ”

Looking at her affirmative eyes, I didn't have to hide it, and nodded: "Yes." ”

"But I want to tell you, that's not all you know" Princess Aurora's eyes flickered, and a pair of small fists clenched, "I assure you, things are not as you think, those characteristics that you don't know are the real use I need!" ”

She was nervous and urgent, as if she was clarifying to her parents that she was not at fault.

I don't know how much of what she said was true and how much was false, but ......

"I believe in you," I said, smiling, my eyes full of sincerity.

"Thank you."

"So," I asked, "is this what you said you wanted to clarify to me?" ”

Princess Aurora nodded.

"And what do you want to ask me about?"

Duke Aurora took the initiative to move her lips and said, "Mr. An Xiaoyi, are you willing to go with me to Vicky Castle?" ”

"Vicky Castle ......" I frowned: "Isn't that a city of dwarves and goblins, what am I going to do there?" ”

"You can show up, you can become stronger, you can do many things," Princess Aurora said, "I can also hire you as my knight." ”

Her body bowed forward slightly, and her face showed an excited expression: "I, the princess of the dwarf clan, although I don't have any prestige in Eri City, but in Siege Castle, I still have a lot of power, how about it, do you want to go with me?" ”

Looking at her expectant look and the price she offered me, I was embarrassed to refuse her, but ......

"I'm sorry, princess, I can't go with you, and at the moment, I have no plans to go to Vicky Castle."

The princess, who was rejected by a mouthful, had a little disappointment on her face, but she didn't give up because of this, and asked: "Is it because the conditions I offered are not generous enough to make you feel dissatisfied?" ”

"No, you're thinking too much, princess," I said with a polite smile, "the conditions you offer are very generous and very tempting, but no matter how generous the price and the tempting conditions, I will not leave here." ”

"Could it be that Ari City is your hometown?"

"No," I shook my head in the negative, "No." ”

"Tell me, please, why?" The princess was a little unwilling, she stubbornly looked at me and asked me to tell me the answer in my heart.

Looking up at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, the dazzling and dazzling light stimulated my eyes, I squinted, and my tone became casual and natural: "Because here...... There's my home. ”

"Home?"

"That's right, home," I bowed my head, looked at Princess Aurora's fair little face, and said, "Your father, your mother, your relatives, and your friends are all in Castle Vechic, so for you, Castle is your home." ”

"I don't have parents, I don't have relatives, but I have a lot of friends that I hold dear, and these friends are all I have."

"If I had to define what it means to be home, then I would say, where my friends are, my home."

Listening to my words, Princess Aurora was silent, and after more than ten seconds, she raised her head and said, "You can also take your friends to Vicky Castle, where the territory is very vast, and the technology is also very advanced, although the nightlife is not as rich as Ari City, but I don't think you are a man who cares about nightlife, I think, your friends must be like this." ”

As she spoke, her big eyes blinked and blinked, expecting my affirmative answer.

What a difficult little girl......

I sighed inwardly.
