Christian found the question of money shallow difficult to answer. His initial interest in Lily was indeed due to the empty past he saw. But in fact, those pasts are too distant and void, and he can't say how much influence he has.

All he knew was that ever since he saw Lily Burt again in front of his mother's grave, she had been like a miracle in his life, constantly surprising and giving him hope. He could barely take his eyes off Lily's face, and as long as he looked at her, his heart was filled with satisfaction and joy. Christian often felt like an independent kid who couldn't get away from Lily Burt, and he thought that if Lily wanted to stay with him, he would do whatever he wanted.

However, should I tell Lily about the ethereal past before? Christian looked at Qian Qian's face in confusion. Those words would come out like a flamboyant liar......

"Is that a difficult question to answer?" Qian Qian looked at Christian's slightly tangled expression in front of him strangely: "Then, let me say it directly, Your Majesty, I think we ......"

"Lily!" Christian immediately interrupted Qian Qian's words, he didn't want to hear another refusal at all: "There are no difficult questions to answer, it's just ...... I hope you don't think I'm a flamboyant liar. ”

Qian Qian's mouth opened slightly, staring blankly at Christian who looked embarrassed and annoyed in front of him. What did she hear? The lonely man in the temple, and Lily Burt in a strange dress with black hair and black eyes and a flat face? Is that...... Divorce??

"Money skewers!" 7788 also opened his mouth widely: "He's talking about long-awaited, right?" The king is your husband? Your husband is a travel expert!! He must be a local tyrant! The biography is expensive! ”

Is that the point?! Qian Qian put away her surprised expression, and now she understood, no wonder she suddenly made a brain-dead effort to save Christian, and her husband was waiting for someone to save him if he didn't save himself.

Lily...... You...... You trust me. Christian now regrets it so much that he almost wishes he could turn back the clock. Well, Lily must think he's a crook who will stop at nothing to pursue her......

"I didn't disbelieve you." Qian Qian cleared his throat and concealed his fluctuating emotions with a businesslike attitude: "That...... Go straight to Salfield Fort and tell my parents that it's time to get married. I've got to go to Eloland, and ......."

"Lily......" Christian didn't seem to react to what Qian Qian said, and after a few seconds, an excited expression appeared on his face: "You...... You mean...... You promised? ”

"Yes!" Looking at Christian's gaffe in front of him, Qian Qian couldn't help laughing: "I agreed, is there a problem, Your Majesty?" ”

"Nope!" Christian rushed up and took Qian Qian in his arms, biting her lip like a fierce cheetah: "Baby! I've wanted to do this for a long time......"

………………

Ten years later, the Misty Forest.

Qian Qian set up a magic trap by the waterhole where he had hunted the bloodthirsty monitor lizard, and then set fire to the herbs that lured the prey. The smoke drifted into the air, choking her with a violent cough.

"You should let her stay in the castle and recuperate." Biting a piece of grass in his mouth, Evangel, who was resting under the tree with his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Qian Qian in the distance: "You know, the demon war back then further destroyed her health. ”

"Lily is not a caged bird." Christian watched the wind and replied, "I can't imprison her." ”

"There's no way you can take care of her." Evangel raised his eyelids and glanced at Christian coldly, "Don't forget our agreement." If something happens to her, I won't forgive you. I'll take her away, you know very well, I don't care who she used to be queen. ”

"You can't take the queen of the Bloodleaf Kingdom." Christian glared at Evangel without showing weakness: "Lily is not my queen, she is the queen of the Blood Leaf Kingdom, and we were crowned together back then." ”

"So what?" Evangel's eyes became even colder: "You forced her to bear the responsibility she shouldn't have, and the throne is her burden!" ”

To Evangel's surprise, Christian did not say anything to refute his words. He was silent for a long time, and finally replied in a dejected tone, "You're right. It was I who selfishly kept her by my side and made her take on responsibilities that she shouldn't have shouldered. So...... I ......"

Christian seemed to be a little speechless, he looked at Qian Qian in the distance, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"So what?" Evangel snorted coldly: "So as long as she voluntarily goes with me, you will let go?" ”

Christian didn't speak, and lowered his head as if he was seriously observing the traces on the grass.

"Humph!" Evangel spat out the tender grass in his mouth and closed his eyes again: "You know Lily won't go with me. Hypocritical human beings. ”

Christian glanced at Evangel, who had his eyes closed, and asked in a tone that was not at all polite: "Then why do you, a non-hypocritical elf, always come to the royal city of the Blood Leaf Kingdom to find my wife?" ”

"She is my friend and comrade-in-arms." Evangel replied with a straight face: "I'll see what's wrong with her?" Safin is also a friend of mine, and I go to see his sons every once in a while. ”

………………

Fifty years later, Qian Qian is almost as old as Ivan at the beginning, but her husband Christian actually looks like he is only in his forties and in the prime of life.

"It can't be helped, he's a strong paladin, and it's no problem to live to be two hundred years old." 7788 sighed, "If you hadn't been injured in the Demon War, you should have lived two hundred years like Ivan." But Garron's curse has hurt your body too much, and you haven't been able to raise it for so many years. ”

"It's a shame." Qian Qian looked at Christian's sad face and slowly closed his eyes: "Leave him alone again......"

Christian felt that his fate was a curse. Like the void of the distant past that he had seen a long time ago, he had once again lost his beloved wife. It's just that fate seems to be getting more and more cruel to him, and as a king, he can't go with his wife without hesitation like last time. He must live alone in this world and continue to guard this country. This is his fate, the fate of the lonely and cruel paladin.

Distant Elolan, owner of the City of Hope, Evangel, receives a letter from a young griffin. After reading the letter, Evangel looked up at the clear blue sky from the top of the tallest tree in the City of Hope, where he stood for three full days, from day to night, like a statue.

Evangel's face was still as young as it had been decades ago, a few decades was too short for an elf, almost like an instant, and Lily had disappeared from the world, leaving him alone......

"Lily......"
