But as soon as Nicolai pronounced the first syllable, his pale face changed slightly.

He raised his head suddenly and shifted his gaze from the tissue paper back to Thales.

Thales blinked.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

The Fallen Star said coldly: "Little Prince."

He turned the cardboard in his hand, and the sky blue tissue paper was spread out in front of Thales.

Wyatt and Rolf both leaned their heads forward.

The thin paper in Nicolai's hand had only one neat line of common language written in standard patterned script:

Rolf whistled and pulled his head back.

Huaiya mumbled something, holding back his smile and not looking at Nicolai's expression.

"Look, I said a meaningless sentence," Thales rubbed his head awkwardly, using this action to relieve the pain caused by the Sin of the Hell River: "You have to read it yourself."

Nicolai stared into the prince's eyes, his eyes burning.

His deputy, Lord Justin, frowned slightly and stepped forward to remind: "Boss, the sky is dark."

The Fallen Starman then closed his mouth in dissatisfaction and snorted from his nose.

Nicolai, who had a bad expression, crumpled the tissue paper in his hand into a ball and threw the book back to Thales:

"Little prince, you'd better be careful for me."

"Let's use a new word next time," Thales caught the book and pretended to blow the dust on it: "I'm used to it."

"No."

"What I mean is," Nicolai's eyes turned cold and he said with deep meaning: "Be careful."

At that moment, Thales's pupils shrank.

"What do you mean?" the prince said calmly.

From Nicolai's words, Thales smelled something unusual.

"That's what it means literally."

Nicolai tore up the tissue paper in his hand coldly: "Longxiao City has not been peaceful recently."

"And you are the most interesting bargaining chip in Longxiao City."

While tearing the tissue paper in his hand, the meteorite man slowly stepped forward and approached Thales' face with great pressure. His tone became more and more scary: "Of course, if you and the hand behind you want to do something,

What……"

Thales frowned.

At this moment.

"enough!"

This was a clear and loud female voice, slightly childish, that sounded out of thin air in the open space outside the stable.

Thales let out a breath, and in response, Nicolette snorted in displeasure.

Huaiya relaxed his expression, turned around, and made a "saved" gesture to Rolf.

There were sounds of footsteps outside the stable.

A blond girl wearing a dark brown dress came to the stables surrounded by the Grand Duke's guards on both sides. An old but dignified old nobleman accompanied her with strong steps, and the old-fashioned Ms. Jinx walked

He took two maids and followed behind them.

Beside the stables, both the Grand Duke's personal guards and the palace guards all stepped aside and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Nicolai," the girl who suddenly arrived continued to speak with her bright voice, like the cry of a lark, which made people feel that the sunset was about to rise again: "Prince Thales is our distinguished guest and also the leader of Longxiao City.

An ally, he represents the friendship between the Bright Star Family and the Star Kingdom."

"And you should behave in a manner and manner consistent with the honor of the Northlanders, my captain of the bodyguard."

The girl looked straight at Nicolai, who was confronting Thales. Her expression was calm, but there was an inexplicable sense of indifference:

"After all, we fought alongside him."

The Fallen Star took a gentle breath, glanced at the prince, then took a step back and bowed slightly to the girl.

"Of course," Nikolai said coldly, "As you wish."

"Her Excellency the Grand Duchess."

Thales shrugged, turned around, and showed a friendly smile to the girl who came to his rescue.

I don't know when, the sloppy little cunning boy he met six years ago has turned into a beautiful fifteen-year-old girl.

The current Grand Duchess of Longxiao City, Thelma Walton, amazed Thales who met him day and night.

The girl blinked a pair of green eyes that were brighter than before, and her nose turned up in a cute arc, which made people want to reach out and pinch it gently. Her lips were slightly thick, but they had a special texture, bright and clean.

Her cheeks showed a healthy reddish color, which highlighted the two strands of platinum hair hanging down from her chest.

The only thing about her body that ruined this sense of brightness was probably the pair of big and thick black-rimmed glasses on her face.

"Good night, my respected and noble Grand Duchess of Longxiao City, the beautiful and elegant Ms. Selma," Thales smiled easily. He raised his right hand to Selma, lightly pressed his left chest, and said

Elegant, decent, and a bow that no one can fault, "Lord Nicolai was just joking with me, please don't criticize him too harshly."

The girl Thelma looked at him quietly, with no emotion in her eyes.

"But I still appreciate your concern, and I will keep this gratitude in my heart." The prince raised his lips to the best arc as mentioned by Lady Jinx, and nodded gently: "I hope you have a good day today, madam.

."

"And you two, Earl Lisban and Ms. Jinx." Thales raised his eyebrows and looked at Lisban with a serious face and Jinx with a calm face and returned the greetings to him.

Finally, Thelma frowned slightly, pursed her slightly raised lips, which made her even cuter, and slowly stepped forward, looking straight at Thales.

The girl walked up to Thales, pouted, stretched out her hands, and elegantly lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a pair of small deerskin boots and a pair of gracefully curved calves under her skirt.

Thales straightened up, and he couldn't help but notice: the girl's once dirty little hands had become white and smooth, and hung lightly around her waist. Under the well-tailored dress, her neck looked slender.

Her waist is straight and her slightly sizable breasts are firmly tied in a tight-fitting shirt, exuding youthful vitality.

However, just when Thales thought that the Grand Duchess was holding up her skirt and bowing in return...

"Boom!"

Thales screamed in pain, took two steps back, and bumped into the stable behind him.

He bent over in pain and rubbed the leg bone where he had been kicked.

Behind the girl, Earl Lisban and Ms. Jinx both frowned, while a pair of maids covered their mouths and exclaimed. Nicolai scratched his neck and shook his head slightly.

Thelma snorted coldly and took back the kicked boots. She shook her hands and threw off her skirt angrily. Following the playful movements of the Grand Duchess, the jeweled headdress on her plump forehead shone brightly in the sunset, even the ones on her sleeves.

The Dragon Spear emblem in the clouds also seems to have a hint of color out of thin air.

Prince Xingchen, who had been kicked inexplicably, raised his head with an expression of disbelief.

"Hey," Thales, feeling the pain in his legs and feeling bitter, protested dissatisfied: "Why?"

Thelma walked up to Thales. She was slightly taller than Thales and stared at Xingchen's guest with an unhappy look on her face.

Wyatt and Rolf looked at each other, and wisely took a step back, choosing to abandon their duties and abandon their prince.

"From the Kingdom of Stars, respected, noble, handsome..." The cold-faced girl especially emphasized the last two words: "Prince Thales! His Highness Thales!"

Thales sighed.

"If you talk to me in this tone again," the Grand Duchess glanced at the big black horse behind him who was chewing grass and watching the show leisurely, and threatened angrily with her clear and bright voice.

:

"Then don't live in the courtyard anymore, come to the stables, and sleep with your favorite Jenny!"

Thelma snorted, turned around abruptly, stomped her moccasin boots so loudly that it could be heard twenty meters away, and left angrily.

The girl's long hair fluttered across Thales's face, sending out waves of fragrance.

But the unlucky prince had no energy to care about these small beauties. He raised his head with an aggrieved look and looked at the indifferent Earl of Lisban.

Ms. Jinx and the two maids hurriedly followed the Grand Duchess, the former even frowning and staring at Thales as if it was his fault.

"Charles, I'm very tired today," the Grand Duchess's clear voice sounded, respectful and polite, which was in sharp contrast to her behavior just now: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll leave the rest to you."

The regent of Longxiao City, Earl Lisban, who was also dressed in formal attire, sighed and nodded gently at the girl's back: "Of course, my lady."

The Fallen Star shook his head in disdain and followed the Grand Duchess.

Thelma's footsteps faded away.

"Today's political hearing," Thales straightened up, exhaled dissatisfiedly, and said to Lisban: "Who provoked her again?"

"No one," the regent shook his head without changing his expression, but then he nodded ambivalently and his expression sank:

"Everyone."
