Blood tax

Chapter 253 National Policy: "Girlfriend or War"

What Griffith said seems to make sense, but it always feels unacceptable.

Galadia was speechless, and was led hand in hand through the long dark passage.Silence and darkness surrounded them, as if this was the whole world.

Her thoughts wandered...

What a strange feeling, the fiery hand is really big, and sometimes it hurts me, as if it is taking advantage of me, but there is an inescapable magic power, even if it is only for a short while, I want to go back quickly.

He wasn't that handsome, although he wasn't ugly, but he wasn't delicate at all, and his appearance was far worse than that of an elf.He also likes to wear those battered helmets, and will definitely be bald in the future.

He has a lot of shortcomings, he doesn’t have pious beliefs or he believes in every god at all; he especially worships gold coins and counts those metal pieces every day; visceral and instinctive.Who knows what he did with Sonia and the officer's sister secretly, ah——!I'm furious!I bet that if you question him, this philanderer will definitely not admit it!
He is very brave, but sometimes he is so fierce~ He is very smart, oh no, his grades are not good~ And Canaan also has brave and smart elves, if you look carefully for Dad, you should be able to find a lot of them for me.He is very interesting, and has a good idea from time to time, but he also has a lot of crooked brains!

He is just an ordinary human quasi-knight.Well, I admit that he is a bit stronger than ordinary knights, but most of his combat power comes from Naida and the ring support whose origin is unknown and will cause trouble sooner or later. He has no title, no power, well, in fact, he has nothing.

What is it that attracts me, as long as I don't see him for a day, I miss him... so strange!

Galadia lowered her head, blushing violently, both unconvinced and shy.

Coincidentally, a group of people carrying large and small boxes hurried over from the front, and all pedestrians hurriedly made way for them.Seizing this brief moment, she escaped from Griffith's clutches deftly and unnoticed.

That's right, actually thinking about it carefully, it's just like that. Although I'm a little weird, but I'm relieved when I think about it clearly, isn't it?
Uh huh, I understand, he must have taken advantage of something in psychology, happened to appear nearby when I was in danger a few times, and took advantage of me when I was flustered.

It was the same with the fight against the goblins, it was the same with the night at Fort Watch, and it was the same with the promotion ceremony.The difference between him and everyone else is that he is adventuring with me, with the advantage of opportunity!

Yes, exactly!I'm going to debunk this little psychological trick, and I'll grow again!
Galadia, who had made up her mind, raised her chin, grunted twice, and stared at Griffith, who bypassed the crowd and returned to her side.

"Griffith, I see!" the girl yelled happily, "I found out your little secrets! I'm going to expose them!"

"What secret?" Griffith panicked subconsciously, and then grabbed her hand.

Grasped by the warm force, Galadia fell silent at once, her big discovery disappeared in a blink of an eye, and was once again wrapped in soft fantasy and attachment.

Leaning limply on the arm of the quasi-knight, she whispered in a low voice that only she could hear:

"It's not fair~"

……

The underground world of Canaan is actually not hidden.

The two walked through a very well-renovated but somewhat dark tunnel, and found their way back to the surface in the basement of a huge temple.

The brilliance of Canaan, which is as bright as the Milky Way, once again appeared in front of our eyes. The city under the night was decorated with blue and pink, beautiful and holy.

"I feel like I'm on a little adventure!" Galadia's eyes brightened up again.Griffith hesitated, but let go of her hand.

"I'm sorry about the guardian knight." Griffith helped Galadia take off the cheap burqa, touched the tip of his nose, "I will become an official knight."

"You are not eligible to enter the country even if you become an official knight, and Canaan does not recognize the title of human beings; only the special status of guardian knight can free me from the shackles of my family," Miss Elf sighed heavily, "Forget it, if I really signed a guardianship contract, my dad may break my dog's leg if he finds out."

"You actually didn't tell the consul..." Griffith had nothing to say, "This is something that could really kill me."

The two laughed softly under the quiet building.

"Griffith," Galadia seemed to be hesitating all the time, and at the end, she asked in a low voice, "Without the guardian knight, I can't fight against the family's decision, and I can't go out to take risks. The Canaan system is like this.
"If I am an adult and I am really arranged to marry a fiancée, what do you think?"

There is nothing to hesitate about this question.Griffith's will is strong and clear: "If it is based on your free will, I will bless you."

"If not!" the elf asked eagerly.

"I will bring my army, tear down your forest, and take you away," Griffith said without hesitation, "I will do what I say. I will not let you be dragged away like cattle and sheep Breeding. If there is any god standing in front of me, I will let him try my cavalry prowess or not."

"..."

Galadia blushed so badly, she stared at Griffith in a daze for a while, then suddenly rushed up and kissed him on the cheek hastily.

Her movements were as fast as lightning, and as soon as she turned around, she fled in the direction of the consul's mansion.

Griffith followed her trying to chase her.Of course, he didn't catch up.

……

Galadia crossed the block, climbed over the wall to avoid the sight of the door, hid in her own flowers and observed around, making sure that no one found her.

The family education of the Villanoy family is very strict, and underage daughters who do not go home on time will be severely punished. They will gradually escalate from no snacks, scolding, grounding or even a beating.

How embarrassing to be beaten by her father when she is already a beautiful girl!Moreover, this is much detrimental to the dignity of the consul who works day and night for the country. As a good daughter, I should be more considerate of him and not let him find out.

Galadia was in a good mood now, feeling that her logic was perfect and self-consistent, she climbed up to the balcony and into her room on the second floor without any guilt.

"Is anyone at home?" Galadia gently opened the window, tiptoed inside, asked in a small voice, and then asked herself, "No one, come in quickly."

The soft bedding is well spread, and there are night snacks on the small table by the window.Galadia threw a biscuit into her mouth and sat down on the edge of the bed with a big pillow in her arms.

I slept in the dormitory of Hormonwarts for a long time, and the bed at home is so big that two people should sleep there.Will I be squeezed down...ah, what was I thinking!
She ate the biscuit and began to think wildly.

Thinking about it now, I was just too indecisive. In the words of the King of Mysteries, there was something wrong with the national policy tree. "Adventure together", "From classmate to good friend", "The closest opposite sex", until here it is no problem, but under the threat of Sonia, the officer's sister and many other bad cats, I can't get off. Determined, sooner or later it will turn into "you are all my important people", ah——!Isn't this the end! ?

Miss Elf threw herself on the bed and rolled around.

No, this won't work——!We're holding hands, Griffith said that just now... I don't want to give him up to someone else~
Galadia sat up with a "bass".

Well, now it's time to make a decision.The next national policy should be "The Charm of Short Skirts", "Summer Night Fireworks Operation", "Unspeakable War Plan", yes, that's what it should be, before leaving Canaan, before other bad cats launch an offensive Showdown!

"Girlfriend or War", "Galadea Victory", yay!After ordering all Griffiths, it will become my puppet country, ah bah, I have a boyfriend!

Yes, yes, before Sonia makes a move, the officer sister must not be allowed to launch a thunderstorm-like offensive.

I want to take Griffith down with lightning speed. A single boy like him is like a crumbling house, and he can collapse with a single kick!

Woo, that's great——!
Having figured this out, Galadia threw herself on the bed, buried her head in the pillow, and patted the mattress with her right hand excitedly.

Suddenly, there is a feeling that living here is one day less, a little nostalgic and a little sentimental.Maybe sometime Griffith will come and take me away.Oops, what was I thinking!
Galadia suppressed her wild thoughts, covered her hot face in shame for a while, stood up and walked to the bathroom.She felt weird all over her body, and she needed to take a good bath to relax.

"Lisa, can you bring me a nightgown?" She called to her personal maid, opened the door of the bathroom, and found that there was nothing prepared there, neither hot water nor flower petals and candles, nor any favorite things. rose essential oil.

Hey~ Everyone must have forgotten me!I said that I will go home tonight, and I go home every night, so if I don’t return home at night, I will have my legs broken?

Galadia opened the door unsatisfactorily and came to the corridor of the mansion.

"Lisa, where are you? Liz, are you there?"

The empty Regent's Palace answered her with an echo.

Is no one here?Are they hiding somewhere and preparing to surprise me!Isn't my birthday still a few days away?

Galadia pushed open the doors of study rooms, bedrooms and lounges on the second floor, but no one found her.

"Everyone, come out, I won't play! If I can't find you again, I won't--play--!

"I'm serious! I'm not going to search all the rooms!"

Galadia came from the second floor to the living room on the first floor. The always brightly lit, busy hall and reception room were not even lit. It seemed that everyone had moved away from here except her. .

This is, where to play...

Galadia began to listen carefully, and her keen senses would quickly catch the slightest movement, and find out those villains who were about to play tricks on her.

I can't lose at hide and seek!Hey, in the north-facing room, there was slight sobbing and movement.

Galadia walked over immediately.In the darkness and silence, she found a maid crying softly against the wall.

You can count on finding one.Galadia patted the maid on the shoulder: "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"Miss Galadia, you, you are back!" The maid turned around excitedly, her voice was so old that she couldn't recognize it.She covered her face and cried while talking: "Help me, save us!"

What, what's wrong This is it!Galadia took a step back. She didn't recognize the voice at all. "Who are you? New here?"

"I'm Lisa, I'm Lisa, Miss Galadia!" The maid rushed over and grabbed the arm of the elf daughter with both hands, "I, I..."

The stars and the moon cast a bright light on the face of the half-elf maid.

The maid who was supposed to be young and beautiful had protruding eyes, and on her plump and round cheeks, only the outline of a skeleton was left, and the wrinkled skin was falling off like old bark.In just a moment, Galadia's arms and hands were already covered with ash-like fines.

"Ah ah--!"

Galadia screamed.The sight that she had never imagined made her mind go blank, she struggled to break free from the maid's hands, and rushed into the side room in a panic.

"Bah!"

The door was slammed shut behind her, and the heavy door and wall blocked the maid's crying, giving her a little peace.

What's the matter, what's going on! ?Is that Lisa?I haven't seen her for a day. Why does she look as old as an 80-year-old human being? No, human beings don't look like this!Normal people who shed their skin!

Calm down, calm down.Galadia patted her chest.My father and brother were nowhere to be seen. Something must have gone wrong at home.Don't panic, in short, contact my Griffith to find a way.

Well, as long as Griffith shows up, things will be fine.

Galadia rattled and rummaged through the cabinet.This is the mansion of the consul, things like Echo Crystals are easy to find!Griffith lives not far away, as long as he uses his mental power to find the ripple characteristics that he has known for a long time, he can get in touch.

"Hey, hey, Griffith, do you hear me!?"

"I heard, why?"

"Great!" Galadia cheered, "Come to my house quickly, the consul is here, don't ask why, come quickly, at full speed, if anyone stops you, just say I said it. The situation is not right, everyone is missing, My maid has turned into old bark, and I don't know what happened!"

"Understood, within 10 minutes."

Phew~ Galadia let out a long breath of relief.This guy is sometimes in a daze, but he is quite decisive when he does things.As long as Griffith shows up, things will be fine.

Suddenly, there was some movement in the corner of the room.Galadia's long, pointed ears pricked up, almost like a rabbit.

"Galadia, miss."

said an old voice.

"It's Miss."

"Miss is back."

"We are saved!"

Many old voices gushed out like a tide.Immediately afterwards, decadent and tottering figures emerged from the dark corners and walked towards this side.

Galadia's whole body trembled, and she even felt an extremely shameful desire to urinate.She clamped her legs tightly, pulled her short skirt and took a few steps back, her silver teeth chattering, and she was almost unable to speak.

"Miss, it's too late."

"Can't wait any longer!"

Aged and withered figures gathered from all directions, surrounding her.They wore the clothes of servants, guards and guests, and even the gorgeous costumes of the big names of the same clan. They were undoubtedly acquaintances who got along day and night, but they didn't have a face to recognize.

The snow-like layers of skin fell off their bodies piece by piece.They walked forward, and then disintegrated like branches that had been burned to ashes, and turned into thick ashes on the ground in front of the girl, and disappeared without a trace when blown by the wind, leaving no extraordinary characteristics behind.

This horrific scene scared Galadia out of her wits.

"Griffith!"

"Dad! Brother! Where are you?!"

She screamed like a beaten wild cat, smashed the glass, jumped out of the window, and fled into the garden.

The cold moon watched the elf girl running wildly in the garden high in the sky.

　Single update today.I'm going to open a plate of stars brewing emotions.
