Chapter 521： ring

With clear action, the next step is to wait quietly.

Simply, this wait did not last long.

Zhou Fangwu and others were completely liberated until the impact of the demonic attack in the capital disappeared.

"My lord, have you decided to leave yet?"

Princess Alice is doing the last thing to keep her. She doesn't want Zhou Fangwu to leave so soon, even though Zhou Fangwu has been by her side these days, and even often asks to be coaxed to sleep at night.

But at the thought of Zhou Fangwu going to leave, the familiar feeling of loneliness arises spontaneously.

This little girl who is afraid of being alone doesn't want her [hero] to leave at all.

But…

"Sorry, Alice."

Zhou Fangwu could only endure the reluctance in his heart, and refused her to stay with a little cruelty.

Even if her cute and pitiful face made people feel a strong sense of guilt, the ending of her departure had already been decided.

It's not just that he has something to do later, but also the reason why he has to leave.

—Heroes cannot stay in the rear all the time.

Therefore, he has only one option to leave.

"is that so…"

Alice's lonely expression could no longer be hidden, and the tears in the corners of her eyes could not be held back, but she still tried not to let herself cry, and she was still pretending to be a good child in the eyes of others.

It hurts.

"I see, I see. I shall see you often, Alice!"

Despite the warning from the female guard Claire, Zhou Fangwu still reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Her Royal Highness's eyes, and made an agreement with her.

"Don't worry, I will visit you often."

"Really?!"

"Ah, I promise."

With Zhou Fangwu's assurance, Princess Alice also recovered from her crying, showing a beautiful smile as dazzling as a small white flower.

No, if you look at her pure golden long hair, should it be described as a daisy?

"My lord brother?...I'm sorry, am I being too self-willed?"

Seeing that Zhou Fangwu was silent, Princess Alice thought her self-willedness had caused him a lot of trouble, so her smile became bitter again, and her tone gradually became choked, but she still managed to speak out .

"For example, if you have something to do, brother... please, please don't pay too much attention to me... After all, brother, you are a hero..." The skillful evasion made people feel distressed.

"What are you talking about, Alice?"

"Eh?"

week

"You are my god-sister, I will definitely do what I promised you, don't worry."

Fang Wu gently stroked her small head, covering her head with his big warm hands, hoping to soothe her lonely emotions.

At the same time, it is also telling her: The promise of [Hero] will never be forgotten.

For Her Royal Highness, the agreement with Zhou Fangwu will always be engraved in her heart. After all, it is the first time she has made an agreement with others, so one can imagine how important it is.

"Well, if that's the case..."

Princess Alice looked at Claire, she hesitated a little, but still took out a ring.

The whole is pure gold, and there are a few small gems embellished on it, which makes it obvious at a glance that it is a very precious ring.

"Here, my lord, this ring is for you."

As she said that, she secretly glanced at the female guard Claire, as if she was afraid that she would be stopped.

But when she found that Claire was silent, she let out a long breath of relief.

"…this is?"

"A promised gift."

Alice smiled warmly: "In order to prevent my brother from forgetting the agreement with me, I wanted to give my brother a token, so...don't forget me!"

The playful look of Her Royal Highness made Zhou Fangwu deeply suspect that she did it on purpose.

In front of the rest of the team, giving himself a ring or something... If there is no meaning in it, he would never believe it!

and!

It's not like he didn't miss the way Princess Alice peeked at the female guard Claire just now, there's something in it!

No way…

It can't be something like [Engagement Ring]!

Zhou Fangwu suddenly felt like a glow on his back.

Behind him, Darkness and Akuya's eyes suddenly shot out a bright light and gathered on Zhou Fangwu's back;

Her Royal Highness the princess in front of her hoped that he would accept it with a pitiful begging look, and the threat hidden in the eyes of the female guard Claire was self-evident.

How to do?

What do you want me to do?

Dilemma!

When Zhou Fangwu didn't know what to do, Sato Kazuma who was on the side seemed not to feel the severe atmosphere, and he inserted it strangely.

"What's the matter? Senior Zhou Fang, this is a reward from Her Highness the Princess. You don't seem very happy?"

"W-how come...hahahahaha—"

Isn't it natural!

At this time, how dare I take this ring!

Read the air for me!

That's why you're not popular with women, Sato-kun!

…and many more!

your Highness?

your Highness? !

Well done, Sato-kun!

"Ah~~~Yes~ This is a reward from [His Royal Highness]. As the [Earl] of the capital, I naturally cannot refuse it~~Isn't it?"

Zhou Fangwu's cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

His body became stiff, even though he said so, he didn't dare to move at all.

Zhou Fangwu is waiting.

finally…

"Huh—really." Darkness spoke first, explaining for Zhou Fangwu: "Yes, the reward given by Her Royal Highness, Wu is a nobleman who naturally cannot refuse, so just accept it."

well!

Great assist, Darkness!

Zhou Fangwu just saw through that Darkness is a daughter of a nobleman, and Her Highness the Princess is her good friend, like a younger sister.

So at this time, no matter if it was Zhou Fangwu or Princess Alice, Darkness would not embarrass them and make them unable to step down.

In the end, she could only help Zhou Fangwu agree, and at the same time, she had to appease Akuya and the others.

Darkness has always believed, and believed in me who plotted against her!

sorry!

I will reward you well when I go back!

With the beginning of Darkness, the alliance of the hero team was suddenly disintegrated.

Even if Akuya and the others didn't want Zhou Fangwu to accept it, since Konis had said so, Zhou Fangwu would definitely go down the steps.

"Tsk~"

Aqua was rarely bored.

Normally, she would not care about it. At most, she thought it was funny and made things difficult on purpose. After all, she had always believed in Zhou Fangwu unconditionally.

But for some reason, she felt a sense of crisis this time.

On the contrary, Huihui turned her head arrogantly, and said calmly on purpose: "This kind of thing should be decided by Wu, and we can't make the decision for you, so Wu can do whatever he wants."

"I, I think so too." Yoyo echoed in a low voice.

"Then, please accept it, my lord..."

Princess Alice watched this farce The smile on the corner of her mouth widened, and the bad feeling in Zhou Fangwu's heart became more and more intense.

"Please keep it safe, brother."

"...ah, I will."

"After all, this ring is not just a token."

"Wait, Alice—?!."

Originally, she didn't make it clear that there was still room for maneuver, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or negligent, but she suddenly said such words, which made Zhou Fangwu's back feel cold and sweaty.

"Pooh-"

Her Royal Highness the princess sticks out her red tongue, which is rare, and her cute appearance captures people's hearts.

what!

I see!

Her Royal Highness is actually black-bellied!
