People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

And this matter should not be mentioned in front of Lani's wife.

Although some things are known to everyone, it is still not appropriate to talk about them openly, especially when it comes to life safety.

However, he was also a little puzzled.

What kind of books does my wife Lani read all day?

When did a place like the Borderland come out with a book like this?

"...Let me ask you, are you interested in [Black Blade Master] Aleto?"

Lani's sudden words made his body stiffen for a moment, but under her skillful technique, he slowly relaxed.

"Regarding this, Lani...I think you've misunderstood."

"You know me well. I'm a man who will do anything to get what I want. I also like to talk big. What happened today was a complete misunderstanding. I was just trying to scare her."

"Nothing is as Di Xi said. What Di Xi said today really scared me..."

He really didn't expect Di Xi to say those words. This was totally unlike her usual cold personality.

If I'm not mistaken, he probably learned it from Aleto?

After all, they are mother and daughter.

As for why he thought so, it was mainly because of the disgusted expression that Aleto showed during the three-court trial, and his eyes were as if he was looking at a rat in the sewer.

It was like seeing the dirtiest thing on the border.

Even if she didn't say it, he could guess what this woman was thinking.

She is obviously a married woman, but she particularly likes driving. Could it be that she has been locked up in prison for a thousand years and is too lonely?

There is a possibility...

Perhaps because his mind was relaxed, his thoughts gradually became distracted.

I even started to think about who Di Xi's father was.

However, before that, he had an important question to ask.

"...Lani, are you angry?"

After listening to him for so long without Lani's response, he felt a little guilty.

Lani is good in every way, and her tsundere look is very cute, but the fact that she likes to be jealous is really a bit scary.

"No, I'm not angry, and your words make me feel a little happy."

As she spoke, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She was really happy, at least her king was willing to share some of his inner thoughts with her.

It’s no longer like before when I chose to handle almost everything on my own.

"So, this time I plan to give you a reward."

"award?"

Hearing these two words, Reinhardt subconsciously opened his eyes.

But his field of vision was filled with Lani's exquisite face, with a faint smile on her face, and her single eye, as gorgeous as if reflecting the brilliant starry sky, was staring at him.

It was the first time that he had admired Lani's eyes from such a close distance. They were truly beautiful, like sapphires carved by a skilled craftsman.

In those crystal clear eyes, he saw his own reflection, which also occupied her entire field of vision.

However, the distance between them is getting closer and closer.

"Lani..."

Before he could finish, Lani extended a slender finger, causing him to swallow back what he was about to say.

“Don’t talk…”

After saying this, she gently held his head with both hands again, and gently covered his ears with the other two hands, and then...

Touch gently.

It is body temperature.

This was his first thought.

It feels icy cool, soft, moist, and smooth, with a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of my nose.

Even the familiar ballad echoed in my mind again——

"What are girls made of? Sugar, spice, and everything nice..."

It was indeed a beautiful kiss from Lani.

However, this gentle kiss was fleeting.

While he was still savoring that unique and wonderful feeling, Lani's lips had already left him, but her hands were still holding his head, and she looked at him with quiet eyes.

"How do you feel, my dear king?"

Her smile was like a hundred blooming flowers, even the moonlight that served as a backdrop seemed a little dimmed.

“…very beautiful…”

He responded dully.

A little crazy.

Although Lani is still a doll, she has a unique beauty.

His burning gaze also made Lani feel a little shy. She gently put down his head as if to escape, disappeared on the bed and reappeared on the chair.

Two of the little hands nervously grasped the white hem of the skirt, while the fingers of the other two hands gently touched each other.

No matter how mature she behaves, she is still the Moon Princess who has never experienced love, and this is her limit.

But that was enough for Reinhardt.

Lani, she's so cute...

"...My king, what are your plans next?"

As if to ease the awkward atmosphere in the air, Lani began to change the subject.

He saw this, but instead of teasing Lani with it, he answered her question directly.

"Well, I do, but I need to stay at the Magic Academy for a while. I heard from Teacher Seren that Nefeli sent me an invitation to attend the celebration a while ago. Calculating the date, it should be in the next few days."

"Lani, do you want to come with us?"

"..."

In response to his invitation, Lani pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "...I'm not in a position to make an appearance at the moment. Your presence at the Stonewell City inheritance ceremony is sufficient, my dear king."

The reason why Lani refused was simple. One of the reasons was that she was not familiar with Neferi Lu.

Secondly, although she could go as Reinhardt's companion, it was indeed inconvenient for her now.

"Well, Lani, just stay in the academy. You don't have to worry about anything in the academy."

Reinhardt could understand Lani's current situation very well.

After all, although Lani killed the two fingers that were responsible for monitoring her, the other two fingers are still alive and the threat is still considerable.

In order to prevent any accidents, the best option is to keep Lani in the academy.

With the protection of the Ancient Dragon King, Lance Shanks, Teacher Serlian and others, even if Shuangzhi had three heads and six arms, he would not dare to act rashly.

"...Um."

Lani replied softly.

"Thank you, my king, for considering my safety so carefully."

Although Reinhardt's words were a bit unpleasant and seemed to look down on others, they made Lani feel warm in her heart.

It has been a long time since anyone cared about her so much.

Perhaps the last time I was cared for was when my teacher, the Snow Witch, Reina, was still alive?

Or was it when my mother, the Full Moon Queen, Lenara, hadn't gone crazy yet?

The erosion of many years has made some of her insignificant memories of the past become a little vague.

But when she thought of her mother, her eyes became a little dim.

Mother....

This is her only worry now.

If only my mother could wake up...

Ever since she had signed an eternal pact with Reinhardt to become the Dark Moon Companion, she had fantasized countless times about going to the Church of Bonding with the blessing of her mother, the Full Moon Queen, Reinara, and stepping into the pool together under the gaze of the giant turtle Millie and everyone else, washing away their past sins and becoming true eternal companions.

But she knew that all this was impossible.

Mother, she will never wake up again...

242. Is this still the cold and ruthless Lord Baizhi? (4.5K)

Nimgfu, Stonewell City, a magnificent city shrouded in storms.

That was true originally, but now the gauze-like storm seemed to have found its master, and gradually became docile like a tamed beast.

Although the wind volume has not decreased, it is a bit less fierce than before.

And this ancient city remains the same.

The ancient city walls are mottled with traces of time, and the scars seem to be telling its story. The black vines growing from the ground have spread to the entire ancient city, filled with an ominous atmosphere.

Even though it was well repaired, the smell of death could not be dispelled for a long time.

Like an abandoned castle whose prosperity has passed.

But today, this ghost town-like castle has regained its former prosperity.

The main gate of Stonewell City was wide open, and dozens of carriages were entering the city continuously through the repaired bridge. Different marks were engraved on each carriage.

They represent different families and forces.

Today is the big day when Nefeli Lu inherits the position of Lord of Stonewell City.

But I really didn't expect that Stonewell City could invite so many people.

It was clear that in his impression, the inheritance ceremony was very simple, with only Kenneth Hyde and an old scoundrel named Gotok present.

And now, what lay before his eyes were the fully armed knights and soldiers lined up neatly on both sides of the passage, faintly emitting an aura of iron and blood. The weapons in their hands flashed coldly under the glory of the golden tree. The face of Stonewell City had been completely renewed. Although its heyday was not as good as that of Godwin in the past, it was not comparable to that of the coward Greg.

He had always believed that the Chapel of the Princes was not waiting for the nameless faded one, but for Neferi, the king who inherited the city of Stonewell.

It now seems that his guess was correct.

Even the storm subsided because of her arrival.

"Master, the death here seems to be more intense than before..."

"Ah, yes, it is indeed much richer."

"Lord Rhine, the air here is filled with the breath of death."

Ashmi, Aliana and he sat in the carriage and chatted casually.

This time, he only brought Ashmi and Aliana with him.

He kept everyone else in the academy, including Melina, who obediently accepted his proposal due to the pause in their journey.

But at this moment, Aliana and Ashmi looked out the car window with a solemn look in their eyes, especially when they saw the black thorny vines climbing on the city wall that looked like ancient tree roots.

Ever since Godwin was strangled in the kidneys, these vines symbolizing death have begun to grow and spread endlessly, and there is no sign of stopping to this day.

Ordinary people would never imagine that this was just the face of a long-dead person.

This level of pollution is a curse.

But the strange thing is that although there is death everywhere and vines are spreading here, there is no trace of the Dead Born.

As if blessed.

It is obvious that the death that permeates these faces is far greater than the dead roots that were catalyzed by death from the Prince of Death.
