When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 762 Why are you taller than me?

After Horn moved the administrative center to the Holy See, the first floor of the Holy See still existed as the town hall.

The second floor became Horn's Jeanne d'Arc office and residence.

When Horn stayed in Jeanne d'Arc for work, he basically stayed in his office.

This time when he came to the office, Jeanne had been waiting for him for a long time.

Jeanne, with her short, thick braids hanging down to her vest and wearing a rough hunting suit, was flipping through a book on the table out of boredom.

"Jeanne—"

Horn's words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

The moment Jeanne turned her head, the candlelight shining on her face, which could not be tanned even by the scorching sun, actually gave it the texture of white marble carving.

This face was both clear and blurry in the candlelight. The face that had not fully grown up in her girlhood was now fully grown.

She was wearing a heroic military uniform, but for some reason, Horn always felt a sense of girlish softness.

"Jeanne, you...how come you've grown taller again?" The two men approached, and Horn felt something was wrong as soon as he approached.

During these four years, he grew at a rate of one centimeter per year, and this year he is about 1.73 meters tall.

But when he stood in front of Jeanne, he felt that his line of sight was almost the same as four years ago, and he even had to look up slightly.

"Only you are allowed to grow, but I am not allowed to grow?" Jeanne's eyes curved like the moon.

"Isn't it said that after a witch awakens, her development and growth will be extremely slow or even stagnant?"

Jeanne puffed out her chest proudly, "I asked Seromes, I'm at my fastest growth period and will grow according to this period."

Any witch who awakens during puberty will be very tall as long as they have enough nutrition.

"Have you really grown?"

"Of course...what are you looking at?!" Following Horn's gaze, Na saw the back of her feet and her hair stood on end.

"I'll just take a look at you, you..."

"No looking."

Horn was speechless at first, but then he couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect such a big change in two years."

"What two years? It's been four years. I'm already 21 years old."

She was still a senior girl at that time, but in the blink of an eye, she has become a senior girl.

Only then did he realize that he and Jeanne had been apart for a long time.

Before the Thousand Valleys were founded, Horn and Jeanne were often together.

But after the establishment of the country, everyone has to govern a certain area.

Horn was always running around, inspecting, giving speeches, presiding over front-line battles, and handling government affairs.

Jeanne had to suppress bandits and train soldiers. She also took care of the work of the Department of Agriculture and was responsible for promoting Enrico's crop rotation system. She went to the mountains every few days.

Sometimes the two of them don't see each other for two or three months, and even if they can meet, they usually only stay for two or three days before leaving.

Either Horn was busy or Jeanne was busy.

Busy, everyone is busy.

"I've neglected you during this period." Horn couldn't help but sigh. He had spent more time with the wolf girl than with Jeanna in the past two years.

Not to mention the scale on Meliati's side.

"Why are you so conceited? When did I ever need your attention?" Although she said that, Jeanna couldn't help but smile.

Horn looked into Jeanna's eyes and said, "If we are free tomorrow, let's get up early and go to the red maple forest."

"You came here so late at night and have a meeting. Don't you want to catch up on some sleep tomorrow morning?"

"I'll take a nap in a moment. I won't delay."

"Forget it. Maple leaves come every year. We still have a long way to go." The candlelight on Jeanne's face was brighter than the sun. "Once everything is settled, we can build a small house next to the maple forest and live there for two weeks every year. How about that?"

"Okay." Horn promised in his heart and on his tongue at the same time.

"Are you saying this to me alone, or to Carrie, Catherine, Shirof, Meliati, Sister Sissi, and René?"

"Forget about Meliati, but what about Sissi and René?" Horn's eyes widened. "Don't slander someone's innocence."

"You mean, except for Meliati, Sissi and René, everyone is there, right?" Jeanne's mouth twisted. "Don't say anything." Horn waved his hands with a righteous look, coughed guiltily, "I only took you to the Red Maple Forest."

Jeanna narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled mischievously: "I don't believe it. Let's go. Everyone is here. It's time to start the meeting."

Watching Jeanne's departing back, Horn's body somehow moved on its own.

He took a quick step forward, grabbed Jeanne's wrist, and pulled gently.

Jeanna used a seven-stage breathing method, but he staggered with a two-stage breathing method.

Horn used his other hand to support Jeanna's waist and pulled her towards him.

"Ok?"

Under the candlelight, Horn tiptoed quietly and looked straight into Jeanne's eyes, their noses almost touching.

"You, what are you doing?" Then Jeanne closed her eyes.

The familiar feeling after the Battle of Pavia came again, but this time it was not just a superficial feeling.

Unlike last time, there was a strong taste of coffee in my brother's mouth.

Jeanne secretly bent her knees a little, put her hands through Horn's armpits, and hugged him.

She could taste the faint bitterness of coffee on Horn's tongue, and Horn smelled the familiar scent of cornflowers.

This kiss felt like a moment, yet also like a long time had passed.

Jeanne couldn't even feel the passage of time, she could only feel the friction and stirring of her lips and tongue.

"Dong dong dong."

"Squeak-"

"Everyone is here, crown... bang!"

"Oh my nose, why did you close the door so suddenly..."

"Shhhhh, don't talk!"

Listening to the voices of Rudylo and Coleman, two funny guys outside the door, Horn slowly retracted his neck.

"What did that mean just now?" Jeanne's face was flushed, like a white marble with a red heart.

"Consider it my apology for not taking you to the Red Maple Forest in the past two years." Horn was frank.

Jeanna's face turned redder and redder: "Shameless, taking advantage of others not paying attention, sneak attacking, and sticking out your tongue."

"I stuck out my tongue, and your teeth didn't stop me, so you just kept sucking on it..."

Jeanne immediately rushed over and covered Horn's mouth.

Feeling the amazing force on his cheeks, Horn quickly waved his hands: "No more, no more."

The redness on Jeanna's face faded a little, but it was unclear whether her voice was coquettish or really angry: "Don't say that again."

"Promise I won't say it anymore." Horn quickly raised three fingers, and Jeanna let go.

Looking at Jeanne with her hair tangled in braids, Horn stood in front of the silver mirror and straightened his clothes: "Let's go. I guess they are all waiting impatiently. They don't know what to do with us."

"They dare." Jeanna snorted, but did not move, "You go first, I'll rest for a while."

Horn understood. He walked to the door and half of his body was exposed. "Oh, you are afraid that they will see the blush on your face..."

Before he could finish his words, Horn rushed out the door and closed it behind him.

As soon as the door was closed, I heard something soft hitting the door with a loud "bang".

Horn smiled and turned around, only to see the auntie smiles on the fleshy faces of Rudy Lo and Coleman at the corner.

With a stern face, Horn took two quick steps forward and kicked them in the buttocks like a dragon: "What are you laughing at? You are so disgusting."

Rudy Luo and Coleman immediately shook their heads: "No, no, no, hey, Your Majesty, everyone is here, I'll take you to the meeting room."

"When you get here, don't talk nonsense, understand?"

"It's covered."

"Okay, let's go."
