夜

bright starry sky
The resplendent floating imperial city seems to be holding a grand celebration dinner, and it is said that His Majesty Charles is entertaining guests from afar.

The Royal Gripen Knights flitted silently in the night sky, and dozens of Gripen Knights circled over the imperial capital.On the streets of the city, some knights from the guard battalion passed by on horseback. Seeing the dark faces of these master knights, the civilians knew that they should stay away at such a time, lest they vent their pent-up anger. on himself.

Under the cover of night, the night life of the residents in the imperial capital was not affected in any way. There are still a variety of goods on the noisy street, and the roadside stalls along the street attract many civilians. A glass of beer and a fried fish You can sit on the benches along the street and talk freely.

The magic newspapers in the imperial capital always bring people some fresh topics. As the Constructed Knights of the Grimm Empire have won successive victories in various planes, people's topics are always related to the war of planes. On the imperial capital, The focus of people's topics can't avoid the two most outstanding generals recognized by the imperial capital at present-the Prince of Wales and the young master of the Mo family.As for His Royal Highness Prince Charles and Angela, few people have talked about it. It's not that people have forgotten him, it's just that everyone doesn't know how to evaluate it.

Yingli likes to wear civilian linen dresses and drag me through such a lively street market. She said that only in this way can she truly feel the beautiful life of civilians.

Standing in front of the glass window of a tailor shop, Ying Li looked at the lotus-colored long dress in the window and was a little dazed. The shop maid at the door pushed the wooden door open and greeted us kindly. I asked Ying Li if he liked the dress that looked like In court dress, Ying Li smiled and shook his head, then turned around and pulled me away.

……

In this summer, there are a lot of fresh products in the market in the imperial capital, and baked clams are a very cheap and popular snack in the imperial capital.

The shellfish that grow on the rocks by the sea are shipped to the imperial capital in full boxes, and the low price makes it gradually become a delicacy in the eyes of the common people.You only need to spend fifteen or six copper coins to buy a plate full of clams, spread a copper net on the copper basin filled with charcoal, and put the clams on it, no need to put any seasoning, as long as they are cooked It was very delicious.

Ying Li and I found a small square table on the side of the road that could only seat four people. There was such a charcoal brazier on the table, and the clams on the copper net were roasting until they were squeaking.

Helena and Becky would also let go of their restraint at this time. They skillfully stretched out their index fingers and thumbs to pinch the edge of the clam shell, pinched the clam from the copper net, first drank the delicious soup in the clam shell, and then squeezed the clam slightly. Some hot tender meat is sucked into the mouth, and the clam meat that is not roasted is extremely tender.

On the table of the nobles, this kind of clam is sometimes taken out by the cooks to make soup, but it is rarely eaten by the commoners.

Sitting in front of this kind of barbecue stall in the market, you can watch the busy traffic on the street, you can quietly listen to some anecdotes about life at the next table, and you can also talk to your friends about the troubles in life, and relieve yourself in the hustle and bustle The pressure hidden in the bottom of my heart.

Taking off her exquisite gown, Ying Li put aside her identity as the royal princess of the Green Empire, sat in front of a street stall like ordinary people, and chatted and laughed like ordinary people.

She lowered her head, holding a glass of the most common ale with both hands, the taste of the wine was slightly bitter.

"Le Die won't be like me!" Le Die muttered to himself while staring at the white foam in the wine glass.

"What?" I couldn't figure it out.

"Even if she is wearing a long linen dress and sitting in such a busy street, no one will think she is an ordinary person!" Ying Li brushed her neat bangs on her forehead, two dimples appeared on her face, explained to me.

No matter where she is, Le Die is used to being like a knight, standing upright like a javelin, like a beautiful girl like her, with a heroic and pretty appearance, of course she will attract attention everywhere.

I reached out and scratched Ying Li's nose, and said to her, "Although she doesn't have pointed ears, she looks a bit like an elf. A girl with elf blood is naturally not an ordinary person."

Perhaps because of drinking a little wine, Ying Li's face was a little red, and she held her face with her hands, looking a little drunk.

Ying Li said: "Yes, she is so beautiful, everyone only needs to take a look at her face, and they will feel that she is very elegant, at least she will be a noble lady."

Then he seemed to be laughing at himself, holding his face and showing a distressed look, and said: "She is as beautiful as a white swan, but I am just an ugly duckling, no matter where I am, I will not be noticed .”

Normally, Ying Li wouldn't say these things, she might be a little drunk, or she might have thought a lot about things during the day.

"Don't you yearn for that kind of life that attracts so much attention?" I stared at her with wide eyes, and unconsciously raised my voice a little.

Ying Li shrugged his shoulders, smiled shyly, and said to me: "Occasionally I think about it! Then I think, hello! Ying Li, you are also a princess, an ordinary princess. !"

I took a long breath of relief: "I thought you liked living like this very much."

Ying Li looked at me with a smile and said: "I really like the life I have now, but occasionally I have a little idea, and then I will be very envious of Le Die."

I said, "If you tell Le Die these words, I think she will be happy for at least the whole day."

"No!" she said.

She smiled shallowly and spoke softly.

Occasionally, she also has a little stubbornness of her own.

The four of us sat around the small square table, Yingli and I sat facing each other, Becky sat beside Yingli, and Helena sat beside me.

At this time, Helena rested her head on my shoulder without saying a word, closed her eyes, and blinked her long eyelashes slightly.

At this time, the eyes of those around her who are secretly looking at her will consciously restrain themselves. She is used to the feeling that no matter where she goes, there will always be people secretly watching her, and she will not be troubled by it.

This summer vacation is coming to an end, and Ying Li has been living in the lakeside manor for the past few days.

So before midnight, I sent Yingli, Helena, and Becky to the magic caravan, so that they could return to the Prince's Mansion before the time agreed with Mrs. Manda.

……

Watching the magic caravan disappear into the bustling street market, I suddenly found myself standing in front of the window of that familiar tailor shop, the taupe-colored long dress was still quietly placed there, I didn’t see this dress There was something special about the long skirt, so I couldn't help but move my steps, wanting to get a closer look and see it clearly. The position I was standing was exactly where Ying Li had just stood.

The lights in the street were dim, but the magic chandelier in the tailor's shop was brightly lit.

At this time, I suddenly understood why Ying Li was standing there just now, why she had been in a daze. Of course, that long dress was not attractive to her. As the princess of the Angibold royal family, she wore special clothes It's just that Yingli specially requested that the clothes he usually wears should be plain.

When Ying Li was looking at the window of the tailor shop, because of the refraction of the light, he could see himself clearly through the glass window, not the lotus-colored dress...

The maid in the tailor shop opened the shop door again, stood there quietly, looked at me with a smile on her face, nodded to me very politely, neither stepped forward to sell, nor turned her head away in a hurry. go.

I suddenly found that from the look in the maid's eyes, she seemed to mistakenly think that I was just an ordinary young man, and the reason why I stood in front of the window was because I couldn't afford this long dress, so I was so hesitant and hesitant. not before.

At this time, a little idea came to my mind, that is, I suddenly bought this dress, even if it was just for the sake of this maid in the tailor shop to get a little commission.Seeing me approaching her, the maid suddenly waved her hand in a very subtle way, and when I was about to enter the tailor shop, she reminded me in the slightest voice: "The season will change in a few days. There will be some autumn clothes in the counter window, and there will be some discounts on that skirt at that time, if you want to buy it, you can wait...'

I stopped and stared at the maid standing at the door of the tailor shop. Staring at a lady like this, even if the other party is just a maid in the tailor shop, is very polite. When she was stared at by me, her face slowed down. Slowly turning red, and glaring at me slightly angrily, the meaning in the eyes is so clear that it makes me a little 'self-aware'!
I almost passed her by, and the owner of the tailor shop saw someone approaching the shop, and immediately greeted her with a smile.

The boss is very enthusiastic, but she doesn't have as many thoughts as the maid at the door. She is constantly asking about my needs and trying her best to sell the clothes in the store.

I didn't negotiate the price with the shop owner, after all, it was just a skirt made of wool that only cost six silver coins.

When it came time to pay, I felt that the maid standing in front of the tailor's shop would think I was an idiot.

Well, I don't care how you look at it, in fact, I'm going to do a more stupid thing next.

Seeing that I bought the long skirt so readily, the tailor shop owner was naturally more enthusiastic. She asked me if I wanted to wrap it up, and promised to give me a beautiful box, and even tie silk on the box. The colorful ribbon makes this gift look more delicate.

Facing the hospitality of the tailor shop owner, I just waved my hand indifferently.

Afterwards, I walked directly to the door of the tailor shop with the taupe-colored court dress in one hand, and stuffed the dress into the arms of the stunned maid.

"This is for you! When I went out in the morning, I was lucky enough to pick up a few silver coins. I wish you a good mood at night..."

After finishing speaking, I pushed open the wooden door of the tailor shop and quickly blended into the crowd of people on the street.

……

Finally, before noon, we finished dealing with the matters in the Qige firm, and another magic airship from the town of Gludin arrived at the airport town. A large amount of supplies were waiting for the person in charge of the firm to receive them. Aliya and Betty rushed to the airport town in the magic caravan in the morning, so I will handle the daily affairs here today.

As the news of the victory of the Hierro plane was continuously confirmed, the buying boom of canned luncheon meat and meat floss bricks in the imperial capital almost reached a peak. , and then found that these canned meats in the Qige firm were almost out of stock, so I realized that this statement was actually very reasonable.

"Why are the wolf cavalry of the orcs so powerful? It's because the marching rations are this kind of canned luncheon meat when they usually fight!" '

Under such a craze, those who originally had no desire to buy would also feel that there must be something magical about the popularity of canned luncheon meat.

With the desire to buy, they will pay attention unconsciously, and then find that there are so many people buying canned luncheon meat, so people are more convinced that those rumors must have some truth, otherwise why do others choose to believe it?

As the imported products of the orc tribe became popular again, the warehouses at the trading firm ran out of stock again.

In this way, it suddenly reflects the fragile supply and marketing chain in the commercial bank. After all, although it is convenient to transport by air, the cost to be borne is also very high. If it is not for the high value-added kerosene in the transported materials, canned luncheon meat is impossible Amortize such a high shipping cost.

After dealing with a lot of trivial matters, thinking that he and Ying Li had already made an appointment to go to the Royal Academy of Magic, he took the magic caravan and rushed to the lakeside manor.

The housekeeper took me to Yingli's room. She sat in front of the dressing table in the room, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

Seeing me coming in, she cheered up. Seeing that her eye circles were a little dark, and she seemed not energetic, I felt that the matter of the mermaid princess still brought her a lot of pressure.

Standing behind her, with my hands on her shoulders, I said to Yingli: "Throw away those worries and do what you want, no matter what decision you make, I will accompany you."

Ying Liman was moved and turned to look at me. At this moment, I felt that she already wanted to do something.

"I'll go with you, with me by your side, no matter where we go, I'm sure I can bring you back!" I touched her face and said to her.

She didn't nod or shake her head, she just looked at me with eyes full of emotion.

"Everyone is persuading me to ignore that Janna ambassador. I know you disagree, right?" Ying Li looked haggard.

I nodded and said to her, "I just think that Ambassador Janna is hiding a lot from us, and he's not worthy of our trust."

Ying Li held my hand backhanded and said to me: "I want to go to the Endless Sea for a walk, but it's not to get back what originally belonged to me. There is such a sense of despair..."

……

Ying Li was standing next to the large fountain in the square of the Royal Academy of Magic. Water curtains overlapped each other in the pool, forming a colorful rainbow in the sunlight.
