There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

Domi was shocked when he heard this.

You have to know that this world is similar to the ancient country in your previous life because of the problem of "scarce" population.

Girls can get married and have children at a very early age. Sixteen is considered a normal age, and nineteen is considered a bit "old" in the eyes of some feudal elders!

He looked at Xia and found that her face was as red as the roses in the garden next to her.

Chapter 319 Kiss Skiss

Chapter 319-318- kisskiss

Maybe it’s because Xia has always taken good care of herself, he can’t see any signs of aging at all. Even as she gets older, she only becomes more mature.

He even forgot that Xia was three years older than him!

"A girl's beautiful years are fleeting, you must seize them~"

Carlos gave Domi instructions as if he were an experienced person, and it was indeed the case.

He stood up, put on the dark grey coat behind the chair, and waved his hand:

"The rest of the time will be left to the youngsters. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Halfway through the walk, he seemed to remember something and turned back and said, "Remember to take some time to go home before the Day of Divine Assignment, and bring Xia along."

"I know... I know!"

The Day of Divine Ascension is actually the last day of the year, similar to holidays such as Christmas and New Year's Day.

The whole family reunites, eats the New Year’s Eve dinner together, and spends the last day of the year together.

If you bring a single girl into your home, it is equivalent to accepting her into your family, provided that other family members agree.

However, this premise is not a problem for Xia at all, as she has long lived in the Blofeld family as if it were her own home.

She lowered her head and stared at her toes, her hands on her thighs clasped together nervously, her face blushing, and she didn't dare to look at Domi or Carlos:

"Okay... okay, father."

Carlos laughed out loud with joy: "Great, great, great! This call of father sounds much better than the three rebellious sons like me. I am beginning to look forward to the New Year~"

……

Soon Carlos' figure disappeared from their sight, but Xia still maintained the same posture as before, not daring to move like a child who had done something wrong.

At this moment, a pair of big and warm hands held her nervous little fists.

She looked up and found that Domi was looking at her with extremely serious eyes.

"Do you still remember our agreement?"

"You said, when the war is over, we will find a beautiful town to live in, just like the ones in the Theocracy."

"Let's get married then!"

The moment the words fell, a strong wind blew, and soft, fragrant petals of various colors danced between the two of them.

Xia's eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and her mouth, slightly opened in surprise, slowly turned into a smile, with unconcealed joy in her voice:

"This counts as two agreements combined. You must not break the contract, or I'll beat you."

"So how about a contract kiss to symbolize loyalty?" Domi said jokingly.

I thought Xia would poke the soft flesh on his waist and call him a pervert like she always did.

But this time, she actually threw herself on him, her soft body pressing forcefully on him, and the fragrance of flowers filled his face.

The two of them looked at each other from above and below, and no matter who was taking the initiative or the passive role, neither of them was shy.

Domi looked at Xia who was so close to him, and his pupils seemed to be shaking.

No, she really meant it...

To be honest, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had kissed someone mouth to mouth, so if he said he wasn't nervous, he would be lying.

Xia's voice was so gentle that it could melt him and make his ears numb:

"You have to be responsible for me~"

After saying this, Domi's lips felt cool and soft, and the fruity sweetness lingered between his lips and teeth.

Her love was passionate and sincere, constantly demanding Domi's response.

Their quick, hot breaths on each other's cheeks made the love even stronger.

Domi simply held the back of Xia's head with his hand to erase the last bit of space between them.

They didn't know how long they kissed, the feeling was so soothing and intoxicating, time passed by unknowingly, but they hoped that this moment could last forever.

……

After four days of traveling and a not-so-relaxing performance review meeting, everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally. So Domi, like General Winfield, chose to stay in the palace to rest for a day before continuing on his journey.

As for the second general from the Bedford family, it seemed that he was called by Metrius for a talk. Anyway, Domi hadn't seen him for a day.

The day after the performance review meeting, everyone who needed to leave had to leave.

The three princes hurried away as if they were avoiding each other and returned to their base near the royal city.

The fourth princess, Mikala, was even more outrageous. It was said that she went directly to Proctor, a port city in the southeast of the empire.

The empire's largest seaport city connects the main continent with the mysterious waters. It is one of the three largest ports in the entire continent. It is named after the Proctor family and has been operated and managed by this family for generations.

The current female head of the family, Alice Proctor, according to Edward's "gouge", is a close friend of the fourth princess Mikala, and seems to have promised to provide her with shelter and ensure that she will not die in the fight for the throne.

The empire was divided into four parts due to factional positions, and the part divided by Mikala was just this Proctor.

This is only because the Proctor family agreed to protect her, and they are not even her supporters...

"Anyway, your sister is really miserable." Domi and Xia floated high in the air and looked down at the carriage that Mikala was riding in.

"The Crown Prince has the support of the conservatives, the Second Prince has the support of the new nobles, and the Third Prince has the support of free merchants and the working class and peasant class. Only she has to seek protection from her best friend. It doesn't matter if people don't compare with each other, but once they do, they'll be shocked."

Xia pinched her chin and thought: "According to what you said, I seem to be worse than Mikala. I didn't pull anyone."

"Didn't you pull me in? I am stronger than all of them combined, so Xia, you are the one with the best chance of winning the throne!"

"Okay, but I'm too lazy to be the emperor of this thankless job."

Xia waved her hands quickly, as if she was not interested in this throne that countless people envied, and even felt disgusted with it.

"So Domi, why are we following Mikala?"

"Emm... Let's put it this way. It seems that the topic I mentioned in the meeting hall has been agreed by everyone, but your three brothers may not be honest. I have to use concrete actions to convey my determination."

"This may be a bit cruel to you..."

"what do you mean?"

"I will assassinate Mikala and frame her, but everyone will know that it was me who did it, so as to serve as a long-term deterrent."

Xia saw Domi's troubled expression and said expressionlessly:

"How can it be cruel to me? It wasn't me who was assassinated."

Duomi was stunned for a moment: "But she is your sister."

"First of all, she's not my biological sister. Secondly, I've disliked her since I was a child. Although she won't die, if she does die, it has nothing to do with me."

This was the first time he had seen Xia so ruthless.

But I like it more~

Chapter 320 Proctor's Night

Chapter 320-319- Proctor's Night

On the third day after Mikala left the royal city, in the port city of Proctor.

This is one of the few areas that has not been affected by the war, and its daily prosperity is still clearly visible.

At the port, there is an endless stream of merchant ships from other coastal countries on the continent, and the handling of bulk cargo provides a constant source of vitality for the city.

The road made of neatly arranged stone bricks stretches to the end of the sight, with busy shops on both sides. The wealthy residents will go shopping on the street at noon and create some GDP for Proctor.

In addition to shops with legitimate locations, there are countless small vendors setting up stalls near the port where there is the most traffic.

A variety of goods are placed on the oil paper cloth, ranging from fresh vegetables to antiques.

Their shouts are also part of the prosperity.

"Take a look, take a look~ A simple potion that can only melt clothes! It only costs five silver wolves!"

"Traditional clothing from the Western Regions! Absolutely authentic, ten times the price if it's fake!"

“Fresh hairy crab~~”

Although it is a bit noisy, it is not annoying and people even enjoy it.

"This is my first time visiting a market like this." Xia took Domi's right arm and walked naturally along the coast, looking curiously at everything in sight.

On the left is the vast ocean as pure and blue as the sky, with seagulls flying by in groups and landing on tall masts. On the right are vendors shouting their wares and attracted customers. Nature and civilization have achieved a harmonious unity at this moment.

Domi adjusted his bowler hat that was about to be blown off by the sea breeze, and looked towards the stall that Xia was staring at:

"Oh~ Ancient objects. Many of these products are fake and inferior. If there is one that is genuine, it means the boss has a conscience."

"You seem to know the inside story of this business?"

"Before the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce was established, Morey had no business experience. I gave him a sum of money to let him try to do business freely. Then guess what he did with the money."

"Emm... Could it be that Morey also set up a batch of fake ancient items for sale?"

“Very close, he simply opened a small workshop specializing in counterfeiting, hired two craftsmen, and then sold them wholesale to vendors who specialized in selling them.

After all, counterfeiting is a technical job, and those vendors always have a headache because of it. It is much easier to have a supplier, and Morey also made money from the source. "

Xia couldn't help but smile after hearing this. This wasn't just about knowing the inside story, this was about making a fuss out of this business.

Afterwards, the two of them strolled around the port for a while to get to know the local customs and people of Proctor. At noon, they went to the most upscale restaurant in the area to enjoy a seafood dinner.

The happy time passed by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, Proctor welcomed an ordinary night.

Large ports and huge merchant ships are like sleeping beasts, crawling on the seashore with the ebb and flow of the tide.

The city was brightly lit, and the sailors and captains, who had been busy all day, would use the money they earned from this sea voyage to go to taverns or brothels to have some fun.

Because of the existence of this group of sea workers, Proctor's nightlife is so rich, with singing and dancing as lively as a festival.

The Proctor family mansion in the center of the city was also peaceful.

In the magnificent restaurant, warm lights cast on the plates and forks made of pure silver or gold. The sounds of cutlery colliding and food being chewed have just stopped.

Countess Alice Proctor, who had beautiful golden curly hair, put down her knife and fork, picked up the white handkerchief beside her and wiped her lips elegantly.

On the other side, her parents, who had retired early and were enjoying their life, also finished their meal at about the same time.

As a guest staying overnight, Princess Mikala was naturally embarrassed to let her best friend's family wait for her to finish eating, so she was actually the one who ate the fastest.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, even if you are a princess. This identity cannot bring her any rights now, only crises that may come at any time.

Alice's ocean-blue eyes looked across the long dining table at her best friend:

"Mikala, you seem a little distracted. Did something happen in the royal city?"

Because of the separatist activities of the princes, the news of the prime minister's death had not yet reached such a remote place in time. Mikala had just returned to Proctor this afternoon and had not had time to share the information with the other party.

"No, everything is fine. Maybe it's because I sat in the carriage for too long."

Mikala said as she glanced around.

Alice immediately understood that some things were indeed not convenient to talk about in front of outsiders.

"Really? Then come to my bedroom after you finish your bath. My magic may be able to help you relieve your fatigue."

The Proctor family has a family talent for enhanced water magic, especially their hydrotherapy magic, which has been praised unanimously by the nobles who have tried it.

Back in the guest room, Mikala took off all her clothes and got into the bathtub.

When her whole body was soaked in the warm water, the fear in her heart was relieved, but whenever she recalled the scenes at that time, she would tremble uncontrollably again.

"Dominic...I shouldn't have let you live until now!"

The first time she met Domi was at her tenth birthday party. At that time, she did have the ability to kill Domi, but that was only if Domi was reckless enough. Otherwise, even the princess would not be able to break through Beiluo Shimen's defenses and kill Domi.
