"Are you tired? Are you going back to rest?" Cheng Mo asked.

Qinglan did not answer immediately, but turned around slowly, with a hint of exploration and thinking in her big eyes.

"Brother Cheng Mo...didn't you say you will be back soon after you go out tonight?"

Cheng Mo's heart tightened, but his face remained calm: "Yes, we have something to go out tonight, so we shouldn't be back too late..."

This final battle will inevitably be difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it will end soon. Neither side intends to fight for a long time, so from a certain perspective, Cheng Mo did not lie.

But to put it another way, he is lying again...

"Since you will be back soon, why do you have to tell me so much?" Qinglan looked at him steadily.

Although she was young, she was very sensitive. Cheng Mo never said so many things at once, and she noticed an abnormality.

"...Because, because I said that I shouldn't come back too late, and I might come back late..." Cheng Mo could only try his best to explain.

"Then you will definitely come back, right?" the little girl asked.

Cheng Mo did not answer immediately, he didn't know what to say.

A mist gradually appeared in Qinglan's big eyes: "Promise me to come back, Qinglan is still waiting to fly a kite with everyone. Can you agree to me?"

Cheng Mo rolled his Adam's apple for a while before finally saying a stern voice: "Okay."

"Then let's make up!" Qinglan suddenly pounced on him and hugged him tightly, "Don't lie to me, it's the bad brother who broke his promise!"

Then she took two steps back and said in tears: "I'm waiting for you to come back!"

Then the little girl turned around and ran away with a kite, without asking Cheng Mo to take her down the mountain.

She knew that there must be important things to do when her brothers and sisters went out, and she would not stop her, she would wait for them.

Cheng Mo looked at her back and sighed softly.

I didn't want Qinglan to discover it, but she still saw it through it.

Who can guarantee that he will come back? No one can guarantee that he can.

Fighting is cruel, especially the last battle for the world.

I can only try my best not to break my promise...

...

In the elegant and quiet Western-style garden, exquisite refreshments are placed in the tray on the small round table, neatly arranged.

The falling snow is much heavier than in the morning, but it doesn't affect this small world at all, as if it's just a background.

A blonde curly-haired girl in a gorgeous rosy dress sat at the table, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hands.

Katherine whispered: "Airy, sit opposite me. Today I hope you can have afternoon tea with me."

"Okay." Adrick did not refuse, but sat opposite him properly.

Catherine reached out to get the teapot and wanted to pour him a cup, but he took it first: "I'll pour the tea."

"You always take care of me like this, so how will I live in the future." Catherine looked at him and couldn't help but quip.

"I am the Miss's Knight, and it's time to take care of the Miss." Adrick said calmly.

His blue eyes were always hanging down, as if he refused to face Catherine's eyes. The Knight could not always look directly at the master's eyes, which was very rude.

But Catherine was unhappy. Why did she always follow this rule and couldn't speak well?

So she deliberately said, "I mean, if I get married in the future, can you still take care of me?"

"There will be better people to take care of the lady at that time." Adrick whispered: "But I will still protect the lady. I am just a knight of the lady."

"At this time, who still needs a knight? Didn't I say that I don't have to follow the rules of the past?" Catherine said helplessly.

"Then if the lady doesn't need a knight in the future, she can let me leave at any time." Adrick's voice was still low, and he couldn't hear the waves.

"How is that possible!" Catherine's voice suddenly increased, but she quickly realized her loss of composure and calmed her tone again, "Ari, raise her head and look into my eyes."

Adrick then slowly looked up, and Catherine was shocked to see a deep sadness in his eyes, but it just flashed away, as if nothing had happened.

Catherine looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Ayri, I don't want you to leave me, I want you to be by my side all the time..."

But not as a knight.

Before she could say the last sentence, she saw joy flashing in the blue eyes opposite, but then she became timid and afraid of being discovered. Adrick looked away again.

"I will never leave as long as the lady needs it." He replied in a low voice.

Catherine noticed a touch of redness on the tip of his ears, and her hands accidentally touched the teacup in panic, and the tea water spilled a little.

Why can't this wood express its true thoughts?

Do I need to say it first...

Catherine lowered her head, her face turned slightly red, and she looked embarrassed and annoyed.

Although she has read a lot of books and has read many love stories, she is still ashamed to speak when she really falls into her.

After all, she is only eighteen years old now, and she has the kind of reserve as a noble lady in her bones. Some things should be spoken first by a gentleman...

I wanted to take the opportunity to guide Adrick, but this wood was still not up to the point.

She didn't know Adrick's complicated mood. For him, the more he was happy, the more he was, the more he was restrained, because he was a knight and should not have any delusions towards the princess. Even if she was not a princess now, Adrick still remembered her former identity.

Because that was the queen's wish, even if everyone in the world doesn't remember that the lady was once a princess, I will remember it.

So Adrick was afraid that he would be unable to control himself, so how dare he observe Catherine's expression carefully, let alone discover her little daughter's worries.

The two of them remained silent for a long time until Catherine seemed to raise her hand to gently gather a ball of white snowflakes in order to break the embarrassment. The snowflakes slowly seemed to turn into the appearance of two people, one wearing a silk skirt and the other holding a spear.

As soon as Adrick raised his head, before he could see the snowflakes clearly, the snowflakes suddenly dispersed and turned into silver lights, some of which were blown on his face by the wind, bringing a coolness.

Katherine seemed to have finally made up her mind, and her soft blue eyes looked at him and said, "Ayri, if we can all come back after this battle, I have something I want to tell you."

Adrick looked at her serious expression and nodded seriously, "Okay, no matter what it is, the lady can tell me at any time."

"Yeah." Catherine's eyes turned to the snow all over the sky, as if she began to be trance.

If you can come back, just tell him boldly... If you can't, it will only make you feel sad if you say it now, right?
