Let Betty and Princess Alice get acquainted, the intention is to think that the two should have some common topics.
And both of them are the kind of people who are more afraid of strangers.
In addition, Betty is actually a tsundere who doesn't agree with her heart, even if she says something reluctant, she will still help others in the end.
And Alice is a timid and shy little girl, so she can arouse others' desire for protection.
It stands to reason that the two should complement each other in character.
only…
"It's really surprising, obviously looks younger than me."
"Betty repeats, Betty is 400 years old!"
Betty pursed her lips.
She wanted to use magic to deflate Alice, just like teaching Sato Kazuma a lesson.
But seeing that it was a little girl who offended her, she couldn't get down no matter what.
I had to correct Alice's misunderstanding over and over again.
"Well, let me introduce you." Zhou Fang held Betty in his arms, and introduced to Alice: "She is Beatrice, the great elf I contracted, and also my most important companion."
"Oh, oh! It's a companion!" Alice was sensitive to the word.
"Then, this is the first princess of this country, named Alice." Zhou Fangwu also introduced Betty.
"Huh, please teach me more, little girl." Betty stretched out her little hand, and did not put on an inferior look just because Alice was a princess.
After all, he is a great elf who stands proudly in the world, so he has strength and confidence.
"Yes, please advise, Miss Beatrice."
Instead, it was Princess Alice, who just held Betty's little hand.
Seeing her happy look, she might be happy that she has made a new friend.
"What, what's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"
"nothing."
Even because Princess Alice was too enthusiastic, Betty couldn't handle it.
"Well, let's continue with the topic just now." Seeing that the two have established a friendship, Zhou Fangwu also took advantage of this to almost continue what he said just now, "Princess Alice still wants to hear about my amazing and exciting adventure stories. ?"
"Of course! Then, please continue."
Her Royal Highness the Princess sat upright.
But even so, she didn't let go of Betty's hand, and Betty didn't resist and let her hold it.
"Then, let's start from a long, long time ago..."
Zhou Fangwu did not tell all the detailed information about Betty, but focused on describing Betty's lonely time waiting for 400 years in the forbidden library, hoping to resonate with Princess Alice and make her Get closer to Betty.
"...But such a day until my appearance."
Zhou Fangwu smiled gently at Betty, and after seeing the big elf's shy look, he said, "Because I used unreasonable and strong reasons to force Beatrice out of the forbidden library."
"No, no! Wu is not tough on me!"
"Yes, yes, I am really happy that Beatrice can say that. Because of this, Beatrice is my [only]."
Finally, Zhou Fangwu explained the inseparable intimacy between the two.
"Okay, so pitiful...Miss Beatrice, I didn't expect you to have such a tortuous past. It's really pitiful. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
Ah, ah...?
Zhou Fangwu was a little dumbfounded.
Maybe Her Royal Highness is still too young to hear what Zhou Fangwu is saying.
However, she was very sympathetic to Betty's tragic experience for Betty waiting alone, like a poor little girl imprisoned in the forbidden library.
As he expected.
Betty was also speechless.
Obviously, I didn't feel how wronged I was, so why would I be sympathized with?
Coincidentally, Claire, the female knight guard who went to report to work, came back.
When she saw the weeping princess, she was furious.
"You disrespectful guy, dare to bully Her Royal Highness?! Even if you are a hero and the count of the country, daring to bully the royal family is a death penalty!"
She took three steps and made two steps, and rushed forward to block the princess behind her.
It has to be said that she is indeed a qualified guard.
It's just that in terms of judgment, it's really a bit stretched.
"Wait, wait, Claire, it's not what you think." The magician guard Lei Yin who was always present stopped her barbaric behavior, "Your Highness just heard a rather tortuous story."
"...Ah, ahahaha, that's right!"
Claire scratched her forehead in embarrassment, and at the same time saw her colleague Lei Yin's reddish eyes, and became more curious about the story Zhou Fangwu just told.
"By the way, I suddenly thought of something."
Seeing Claire's return, Zhou Fangwu remembered that he hadn't told Akua and the others about his sudden disappearance.
To be honest, I was a little worried that they would do something out of the ordinary.
"May I ask what's the matter?"
"Because I didn't tell Aqua and the others about my sudden departure, so..."
"Indeed, that's a problem."
Princess Alice ordered the female knight guards on the side again, "Claire, please."
"Uh... Her Royal Highness, I want to hear the story too."
"please."
"Yes…"
The 'idlers' who broke in rashly were kicked out by Princess Alice.
Seeing Claire's dejected appearance, Zhou Fangwu really wanted to say that he is indeed a royal family, this kind of natural black belly is really born with it.
"Then, Your Highness, I wonder what inspiration you got from the story just now?"
Zhou Fangwu's foreshadowing story finally reveals its original purpose.
"That, that... Miss Beatrice is poor?" Alice raised her cute little face, her curious expression was endearing.
Maybe Darkness, Zhou Fangwu and others will become companions, go on some eye-opening and unique adventures, and experience some interesting and exciting things.
Longing for interesting things to happen, longing for freedom, in her mind, this should be the life she envies very much.
Because of Betty's past, Princess Alice also resonated.
"That's not the answer!"
Betty puffed her mouth and educated her loudly: "It's 'you can't judge a person by their appearance'!"
"Well, Beatrice was right."
Zhou Fangwu also nodded, indicating that Betty was right.
"In my hometown, there is such a warning, [A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured]. It means that a person cannot be judged only by his appearance and appearance, and the sea water cannot be judged by a bowl (? ) to measure."
"What's the meaning?"
While Alice was more curious, Zhou Fangwu gave her a more concise and clear explanation.
"Your Highness, what do you think of my appearance?"
"This, this..." Alice's face was slightly flushed, and she said coyly: "You are very handsome, of course you are very handsome."
After saying this, Princess Alice lowered her head shyly, but still peeked at Zhou Fangwu from time to time, as if watching his reaction.
...Ah?
Something always feels wrong.
"Cough, I'm sorry, maybe I made some mistakes in my example." Zhou Fangwu thought for a while, and then said: "Then what does Your Royal Highness think of Sato-kun?"
"Sato-kun...?"
Princess Alice tried hard to recall, and it took a long time before she remembered that it was the person who performed acrobatics with cats.
"Nothing special...sorry."
"It's okay, you don't have to be sorry, and you don't need to apologize."
Zhou Fangwu also knew that she would say that.
But at the same time, I'm also rejoicing, fortunately, I haven't been in contact with Sato Kazuma for a long time, otherwise Princess Alice would have discovered what a ghost that man is.
In fact, Zhou Fangwu originally wanted to use Darkness as an example.
After all, Darkness's nature is indeed far from her own appearance, and the relationship between Darkness and Princess Alice is very close, which is also a good example.
But the more this is the case, the less Zhou Fangwu can use Darkness as an example.
Because he really couldn't bear to destroy the beautiful image of Darkness in Alice's mind.
This kind of fact is really too cruel for the young Princess Alice!
"Don't look at Sato-kun's ordinary appearance, in fact, he is stronger than those advanced adventurers of level 3 and 40."
This is not Zhou Fangwu's exaggeration, but the truth.
The current Sato Kazuma is already level 22, plus the favor of LV2, and the ultra-rare [acceleration] skill.
Even those strong men who live in Axel Novice Village may not be able to defeat Sato Kazuma.
Of course, the premise is that there is no direct combat.
"Okay, so powerful... Is that person actually so powerful?" Princess Alice subconsciously covered her mouth with an unbelievable look.
"So, you can't judge anyone by their cover, Your Royal Highness."
"...Yes, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind."
"Well, good boy."
Zhou Fangwu was very satisfied with Her Royal Highness's attitude of correcting when she knew her mistakes.
Presumably the next teaching will be easier.
"You taught me so gently, just like my elder brother before."
Princess Alice recalled with some sadness:
"I really want you to stay with me, but I also know that I can't be so capricious.
In fact, I have a brother who is very close, but as a royal family, even brothers and sisters will gradually become estranged, so that I can no longer chat with my brother so intimately..."
"Wait, what did you just say?"
"Eh? Say you are like a big brother..."
"like what?"
"My lord...?"
Um!
Decided!
In order to prevent the kingdom from continuing to be corrupt, we must educate the princesses of the kingdom to be talented!
…
All right.
Actually, I wanted Her Royal Highness to call him 'teacher'
Zhou Fangwu admitted that the "brother and lord" really made his heart beat involuntarily.
Because, whether it's Huihui, Yoyo, or others, those who are younger than him only call him Your Excellency, Mister, Senior, etc., and very few directly call him Big Brother.
So, this feeling is... not bad?
Fortunately, Zhou Fangwu has traveled through many worlds, seen many landscapes, and experienced many interesting things.
Combined with those novel and interesting adventure experiences, Zhou Fangwu also taught Princess Alice by precept and example, allowing her to discover more shortcomings and mistakes in herself while listening to the story, and then correct them by calling.
Only gradually, Zhou Fangwu found that she was more interested in Darkness.
No, to be precise, she was more interested in the matter between Zhou Fangwu and Darkness.
for example…
"Because of Darkness' initiative, the atmosphere at that time was just right, so I was with her by the hot spring pool in Alcanredia..."
"By the hot spring pool...? By the hot spring pool...? What did you two do by the hot spring pool?! Did you do something shameful?! I'm curious!"
Maybe Princess Alice had a hunch too.
When Zhou Fangwu stopped talking, she was anxious to hear what happened next.
The upper body leaned forward and almost lay on Zhou Fangwu's body, and the big eyes revealed full of doubts.
"Wait, wait a minute! I can't talk anymore!"
The magician Lei Yin hugged Princess Alice, and at the same time covered her ears to prevent her from listening to what happened next.
"Hey, what happened next is a secret and will never be told to others."
Zhou Fangwu suddenly felt that his character was really bad.
Obviously the relationship between Princess Alice and Darkness is so good, not to mention taking away her close friends and relatives, and telling her about that kind of thing... No, I seem to have really become a villain.
However, seeing Princess Alice's expression of wanting to explore, Zhou Fangwu realized that she seemed to be more interested in the next thing.
hiss-
I'm sorry, no matter how pitiful you are, I won't tell you.
Because this is something [minors must be accompanied by their parents] to listen to.
And just when Zhou Fangwu didn't know how to prevaricate, a harsh siren sounded suddenly from outside.
【alarm! The Demon Army is coming! 】
【alarm! The Demon Army is coming! 】
【alarm! The Demon Army is coming! 】
Three times in a row.
No one could have imagined that the capital of a country was also facing the invasion of the Demon King's army.
Has the war situation turned out to be this serious?
No wonder.
After he successively defeated the officers of the Demon King's Army, the kingdom would recommend him so vigorously that his reputation would resound throughout the country.
It turns out that the battle is already so fierce that the people urgently need a pillar they can rely on.
Tread Tread.
Slightly messy footsteps came from outside, and the female knight guard Claire appeared in front of everyone.
"His Royal Highness! The Demon King Army is here!"
As the princess's guard, she would naturally **** her immediately when encountering danger, so she ran back in a hurry.
"The Demon King Army... Well, let me deal with them quickly and quickly."
"Eh?"
Princess Alice and others looked at Zhou Fangwu in a daze.
"Because, I am a [hero], how can the people stay behind to avoid disasters when they need me? The more this is the case, the more they need my existence!"
Zhou Fangwu said to Claire beside him: "Then please Miss Claire take me to the battlefield. Please rest assured, with Beatrice here, the safety of Her Royal Highness is guaranteed."
"Hmph, of course, with me here, this little girl will never be hurt."
As if admitting it Betty patted her palm lightly.
Then, a gray barrier enveloped the entire room.
"Empty, space magic?!!"
The magician Lei Yin, who was quite calm at first, screamed out when she saw that Betty had arranged the space defense magic lightly.
At this moment, even Claire, who was not deep in magic, took a deep look at Betty.
"Miss Claire, without further ado, let's set off now."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Fangwu left here first.
The resolute behavior made everyone present stunned for a moment.
In the end, Princess Alice looked at the stalwart back and could only silently send her blessings.
"May you return safely, my lord hero."
