Chapter 34
Fang Qingyan's eyes widened.
Joanna next to her opened her mouth wide... Calm down, princess! Do you know what knight means?
There is no doubt that the status of a knight is higher than that of Joanna, the personal maid. Once he becomes Elizabeth's knight, it means that Fang Qingyan has become her most trusted person. In contrast, Fang Qingyan must be absolutely loyal to Her Royal Highness the Princess... And be loyal only to her!
The most important thing is that the two will get along day and night from now on, master and slave, inseparable.
Not a "royal knight", but a "princess's knight".
If it had been anyone else, they would have passed out from excitement!
A little servant, a knight who was promoted to the princess, is similar to a little eunuch in the palace who suddenly became the emperor... It's such an exaggeration!
…
Elizabeth's pretty face was so red that she almost bled, but she still looked at Fang Qingyan's face expectantly, waiting for his reply.
Fang Qingyan was silent for a few seconds, thinking about a very serious question in his heart——
knight? Who should I ride?
Ahem...end the random thoughts.
There was an apologetic look on his face and he shook his head politely: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Princess. I don't feel lonely. On the contrary, I enjoy being alone. A quiet environment can calm people's minds." , sober-minded and strong-willed.”
"But you are the only one in such a big library, how can you not be alone?"
Elizabeth was a little anxious and was still trying to work hard, "Vampires are social animals. If you become my knight, we can meet and chat every day."
...Actually, she just wanted to see Fang Qingyan from time to time.
Every time she returned to the palace after listening to the story, she would feel empty in her heart. The thought of having to wait another month before they could meet again made it difficult for her to sleep.
I just don't know if Elizabeth is simply obsessed with Fang Qingyan's story, or if there is another reason.
"Maybe I am an exception. I am not suitable for living in groups. I like to be alone... Your Highness, there is no need to say anything more. If you still treat me as a friend, please respect my choice."
Fang Qingyan shook his head and firmly refused again.
Lions and tigers are always solitary, only foxes and dogs travel in groups. This shows that powerful people are always lonely, because they are powerful enough to cope with all changes and crises alone.
...This was said by a writer named Hu Shi.
Fang Qingyan deeply agreed.
"Is it really not possible? You...you should think about it again."
"It really doesn't work."
"Then...okay." Elizabeth's beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed, and her heart was filled with disappointment.
Fang Qingyan frowned, wondering if his rejection was too ruthless and made her sad?
He hesitated for a moment and showed a soft smile: "Your Highness, if you really want to hear stories, it would be better to tell you two stories every month."
He thought Elizabeth would be happy.
But there was no smile on her face.
"I actually...I..."
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, but she hesitated to speak and finally lowered her head silently.
I like you.
Such a simple sentence, a line that appears in every love novel. She has seen countless girls in books say this sentence to the men they admire, and she has also seen countless men reply to girls that I am the same.
But when it was her turn, Elizabeth couldn't speak.
He is just a servant of a family. If I suddenly said that, it would probably scare him, right? He will be afraid, afraid of my identity as a princess, afraid of my father... Elizabeth's eyes flickered, thoughts swirling in her mind.
In a hierarchical society, love between people with unequal status is destined to be painful.
Such as Camilla and Carstein.
After all, Carstein was also a dignified count, a nobleman with a fiefdom and a private army, but after falling in love with the royal princess, he still got into trouble!
Fang Qingyan's current identity is just a small servant, not as good as Carstein.
If he really dares to cross the threshold, the consequences will be needless to say... he will be mercilessly strangled!
Although Elizabeth is a homebody, she doesn't know everything.
She had concerns.
Fang Qingyan remained silent and did not speak.
He didn't use mind reading to read Elizabeth's thoughts.
But he wasn't mentally retarded, so how could he not feel Elizabeth's affection for him?
In fact, he had vaguely felt it as early as a month ago, but he was not sure yet... now he is sure.
"Okay, I understand."
Elizabeth lowered her head, her silver hair covering her head, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly, "I... I'll come again next time."
"But the story hasn't been told yet."
Fang Qingyan said to her.
Elizabeth shook her head: "Let's go together next time, Joanna, let's go back."
She glanced at Fang Qingyan secretly from the corner of her eye, and then quickly took it back.
Fang Qingyan refused to be her knight. Elizabeth felt that she just had unrequited love and that he didn't like her, so she felt very sad.
Come with full expectations and leave with sadness.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Suddenly there was a voice from behind. Elizabeth paused and her ears perked up.
Fang Qingyan said with a smile: "The joy of love is mixed with tears, but the pain of love is sweeter than all other joys. I give this to you, I hope you like it."
Elizabeth murmured, repeating this sentence in her heart, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and the decadence and depression on her face were swept away, replaced by the vigor of the past.
"Okay, I remember!"
She shouted loudly, "I will come again!"

ps: Xiaopujie is really not good at emotional drama, and the progress is a little fast. In order to make the male and female protagonists have feelings, I racked my brains, and I can only write it like this. With a sentence "six months later", they fell in love. It should be reasonable... right? Anyway, my girlfriend and I just fell in love with each other and got together naturally. Xiaopujie is not good at writing this kind of love. I hope everyone understands.
Chapter 46
Creaky——
Close the door gently.
Fang Qingyan slowly walked to a bookshelf, sorted out the messy books one by one, and classified them back.
After doing all this, he walked to the second floor with a calm expression, intending to continue meditation and practice.
Suddenly, Fang Qingyan paused and stopped when he accidentally caught sight of a book on the bookshelf.
He walked to the bookshelf, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and pulled out a thick book from it - "Education of Palace Dance".
He opened the title page and saw a passage:
No one cares whether you dance well or not. Just dance! Great dancers are not great because of their skills, but because of their passion! ——Abel Vlad
Fang Qingyan's mouth twitched slightly.
But he still flipped through it.
He learned while reading, starting with the simplest dance etiquette.
...
Roar -
A low roar of the beast exploded.
A wolf-like monster crawled on the ground, with a huge body, ferocious fangs, and a breath of fire.
"Are you sure it's here?"
A sinister voice came from the sky, and then six or seven blood clans were seen slowly descending from the sky and in front of the monster.
The young man in the lead was wearing a gorgeous purple robe and a blood-red shawl, with a noble temperament.
Roar~
The monster nodded repeatedly, indicating that he was sure that he had not found the wrong place.
Alger Revno frowned, his eyes showing confusion: "It shouldn't be, the breath is cut off here..."
He looked up, and in front of him was the Capet clan's royal city: Bristol.
Yes, more than half a year has passed, and the Revno clan is still investigating the murder of Count Jason.
This war beast-level abyss wolf is a monster that is very sensitive to smell and can smell hundreds of miles away. Some time ago, Marquis Revno went out to capture it, and after taming it, he used it to track the murderer.
The abyss demon wave did not disappoint them.
After so much time, it was able to follow the breath left by Fang Qingyan in Jason Castle and tracked all the way to Bristol City.
But the breath was cut off here, because Fang Qingyan obtained the Thousand Machine Mask after entering the city, which concealed his breath.
"Your Highness, Alger, what should we do next?"
A guard of the Earl asked.
He called him "Your Highness".
Because Alger is Earl Jason's elder brother, another heir of the Ravenno clan, and he himself is a Zero Wing Marquis.
After Earl Jason's death, he was the only one left in the Ravenno family. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of the head of the family will definitely belong to Alger Ravenno in thousands of years!
Obviously, he came to investigate the truth of his brother's murder.
Although his brother's death made him happy for a while, after all, he became the only heir to the head of the family.
But Marquis Ravenno gave him the task of tracking down the murderer.
…
"The murderer is hiding in Bristol City."
Alger Ravenno sneered, "There are only a few marquises of the Capet clan, and only two of them are in Bristol City, Marquis Morpheus and his half-brother Marquis Alvis."
"The murderer can only be one of them!"
He was extremely sure of this.
Because the number of marquises in the entire Nikara can be counted on one's fingers, and there is no unknown marquis.
So the murderer is either Marquis Morpheus or his brother Alvis!
"Hehe~ The Capet clan and our Ravenor clan have always kept their distance from each other. I didn't expect them to dare to assassinate Jason. This is an active provocation!"
Alger showed a cruel grin.
The Earl's guard hesitated for a moment and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, should we go into the city and investigate again?"
"No!"
Alger shook his head without thinking and said contemptuously, "I am not an idiot like Jason. I will never take risks. He is just too arrogant and high-profile, so he is targeted. Only he would do such a stupid thing as risking his life. Smart people always act after they are completely sure!"
"Then let's..."
"Retreat!" Alger's eyes flashed coldly, "Go back and discuss with my father and make a good plan."
...
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
On this day, in a room on the second floor of the library.
Fang Qingyan's skin was red, like a roasted sweet potato, emitting flames.
