14. Imperial Capital (4)
Four eyes are opposite.
Sosuo's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and could only open his eyes, which had already been rounded, wider.
Siro's eyes only stayed on his face for a second, and soon closed his eyes and continued to rest.
Soso felt very uncomfortable. He would rather Siro mock him and scold him than he would do this now and say nothing. He mustered up the courage and spoke carefully, "I'm sorry."
Xi Luo's eyes moved slightly.
With his head down, his index fingers and thumbs of his hands kept rubbing each other, as if he wanted to use this action to distract himself from his nervousness. "I thought the one who came just now was Dilin."
Siro slowly opened his eyes.
"I thought he saw the letter and came to me." Soso said this, lowering his head, "I'm so stupid. He should be in St. Pades now, and the letter shouldn't have been sent yet, right? How could it have arrived so soon."
"You really want to see him?" Siro asked.
Suo Suo was immersed in his thoughts when he suddenly heard him speak, and was startled, looking up at him with a helpless look.
Siro asked again.
Soso nodded vigorously.
Siro said: "If you cooperate, I will consider giving you a family leave."
Suo asked in confusion: "What is a family vacation?"
“It’s the reward you receive when you perform well while being a hostage.”
Suo's eyes shining.
Siro said: "But your performance just now is very bad."
"ah?"
"It will be deducted for one year first."
"Ah?!" Soso said anxiously, "but you didn't say it before."
Siro said: "I only know that I am recuperating outside the city of Mies. It is a secret to come to Santo to meet Hayden."
Soso's anxious expression slowly faded away, and he turned to looking at him worriedly. "I'm sorry, my whereabouts were exposed." Although he did not see the situation at that time in the carriage, he knew that Siro exposed his whereabouts to save him. Listen to the tone of the Light God Association, if he was caught by them, he would definitely be handed over to King Gu Lan, and the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
Siro took the opportunity to say: "One year."
He bit his lower lip and fought in his heart.
Xiluo is confident.
Sure enough, a minute later, Sosocom said aggrievedly: "I will definitely perform well this year."
"It shouldn't be running away again, right?" Xi Luo glanced at him.
Sosuo nodded, not finding himself in at all.
A smug smile slowly rose from the corner of Xiluo's mouth.
Suo Suo suddenly shouted, "By the way, I was in the front car just now, why did I suddenly run to your car?"
Siro said: "Look at the soles of your feet."
Lower his head.
“What’s there?”
"Carpet." It's also an extremely gorgeous carpet. The colorful lines on it make him feel dizzy.
"This is a teleportation magic array."
Suo Suo said in surprise: "Telebrating the magic circle?" He then remembered that there seemed to be such a carpet under the carriage he had sat in before.
Siro said: "But the distance cannot be too far."
Soso looked down and studied the lines on the carpet.
In Dream Continent, the long-distance teleportation magic array between cities is controlled by the Magic Guild and is supervised by the country where the magic array is located. This is to prevent other countries from using the teleportation magic array to launch wars. Although the number of people that the teleportation magic array can be transmitted each time, in a siege battle, if the opponent sends the strong to the enemy city through the teleportation magic array, the consequences will be foreseeable.
Because of this relationship, the relationship between the Magic Guild and various countries is very delicate. It is neither unscrupulously separated from all regimes like St. Pades, nor is it closely connected with the interests of some countries like the God of Light. The Magic Guild always maintains a delicate balance, does not be enemies with any country, arouses the other party's vigilance, nor is it too close to any country, and arouses the vigilance of other countries.
For now, the Magic Guild has done a good job in this regard.
Siro frowned and looked at Suo Suo's body, which was lowered to study the teleportation magic circle, bent downwards more and more, and then suddenly fell at a certain point.
Instinctively, he reached out to hold him, and then heard a sound of symmetrical breathing from his arms.
“…”
Siro put him on the carpet and lay on his head on the chair.
Sosuo moved impatiently, his eyes slightly opened.
"Go to sleep." Siro didn't know why his voice became so soft, but when he found out, Soso had already closed his eyes again with satisfaction.
Looking at the innocent sleeping face in front of him, he suddenly felt as if he had returned to the nightmare forest when he was lost.
His hand involuntarily stroked his thick short hair as dazzling as gold. The huge eagle-headed golden ring on his fingers refracted light, causing his eyes to hurt slightly and he quickly retracted his hand.
The Eagle Head Ring is a symbol of the status of the Crown Prince of the Empire.
He lowered his hand and slowly sat back to his original position.
After teleporting from Soso to Siro's carriage, Siro did not send him back to the original carriage except to sleep at night.
Soso was so happy. Although Siro didn't say much, it was better to have a person around him than to face the inner walls of all sides. So every day after getting up and washing up, he would spontaneously report to Siro's carriage and stay until he went back to bed at night.
Such daily life made Soso start to get to know this strange Siro again, and then slowly dig out more and more familiarity.
For example, domineering.
Even if there is no need to organize the documents here, Siro will subconsciously instruct him to pour water and hand over the things.
Suo was so stuffy in the car that he sometimes looked at Xi Luo who was silent with big eyes, hoping that he would assign something to work.
At first, Siro was a little suspicious about this strange atmosphere, but over time he figured out the rules. When Suo Suo looked at him without blinking, he casually said something. He moved the stool from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left. Suo Suo obediently did it.
Time flies for more than a month.
Sosuo was silent every day, often staring out the window in a daze.
Siro finally couldn't help asking, "Do you want to go down and have a walk?"
Soso shook his head, "There are so many assassins outside, it's not safe to go down and have a walk."
Siro was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, after he agreed, he was really ready to be an obedient hostage.
"Silo." Suo hesitated, "You said, did that letter come to Dilin?"
Siro said without changing his face: "I don't know. The letter was sent by Hayden."
Suo held his cheek with both hands, looking distressed, "Will it be difficult for Dilin to send a reply?"
Siro glanced at him and said, "He will find a way."
Susuo thought for a while and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't reply. Just tell him the news that I'm living here well."
Siro raised his eyebrows. "Do you think you're doing well here?"
Suo hesitated and said, "Forget it."
"Think...?"
Soso said: "Not very free."
Siro said: "You will be free when you arrive at the Royal Academy of Magic."
Siro has already briefly introduced the matter of the Royal Magic Academy of the Ding Empire in more than a month. So Soso is not as repulsive as at the beginning of transferring schools, but he just insists on not transferring his academic qualifications.
Siro had no intention of helping him transfer his academic status, and transferring his academic status would inevitably attract the attention of people from the St. Pades Magic Academy, so he followed suit and made favors.
The carriage is slowing down.
"Your Highness, Baron Lawrence Gebra is here." The one who spoke outside the window was Gallen, the captain of the Crown Guards, and Siro's closest confidant.
"Lawrence?" Siro frowned slightly, "Let him come."
Soso obviously felt the atmosphere in the carriage becoming a little solemn.
After a while, a rapid sound of horse hooves came, and a man turned over and dismounted, and then walked quickly. His footsteps were heavy, obviously very tired.
"Your Highness!" Lawrence did not say any unnecessary words and said straight to the point, "Please rush back to the capital immediately!"
"What happened?" Lawrence was his eyeliner in the capital. If it weren't for a very urgent matter, he would never have come in person.
Lawrence said: "His Majesty is preparing to merge the Royal Academy of Magic and Royal Knights!"
