...Wait a minute, Amrudina, I can't agree to this. How can I, as His Highness's personal maid, live in a separate tent while you take care of His Highness. "
Before I could complain, the person next to me was unwilling.
"Lady Carol, I'm very sorry. I don't want to replace your power to take care of His Highness as a maid. However, the situation in front of you is all caused by the fault of this subordinate. Tonight, please make sure that your subordinates take responsibility." Mrudina responded seriously.
"I still can't agree. Even if it's your fault, you don't have to do this, right? Your Highness should still let me take care of you. I am His Highness's personal maid, how can I neglect my duty and leave His Highness's side?"
Caroline stood behind her respectfully, perfecting the demeanor of a maid, but her tone was like that of a general, giving people a sense of majesty and making it impossible to refuse her order.
"Lord Colgate, please remember that personal maids do not have to sleep with their masters, right?" Although I deeply respect Colgate as one of the Twelve Knights, when it comes to matters of principle, Question, Amrudina is not ready to give in to the other party.
She is also a first-class noble with a long history in the Elf clan, and she is the daughter of an upright and famous family. Personal maids were no stranger to her. She also had a dedicated personal maid to take care of her, so naturally she would not be frightened by Carolie's words.
"Amrudina. What you said is wrong..." After being exposed by this sentence, Kaluge did not show the slightest panic and was about to give her own reasons. At this time, I was holding my temples tightly and finally couldn't help but burst out.
"You two, stop!" I made a big cross to them with both hands, and then pointed at Amrudina's tent in an unquestionable tone.
"Karuge, you go to sleep in Amrudina's tent. I will sleep here alone."
Isn't this the most normal distribution? What happened to these two girls today.
"But Your Highness..." Carolie wanted to say something else.
"Colgate, are you thinking that I can't take care of myself without you taking care of me and sleeping by my side?" I said everything Arturia told me, word for word. Throw it to Colgate.
Whether it's word for word or not, don't worry about such trivial matters.
"I don't dare, it's just..." Carolie tilted her head, looking quite confused.
"Even if you are usually with Artoria, you don't sleep with her and take care of her, right?" I said again.
"Yes..." Carole still looked puzzled and hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to say something to me.
"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it." I looked at her curiously and said.
"Well... then. I'm rude. Although I don't know if that idiot sister is lying to me again, but it is necessary to confirm that when His Highness sleeps, he must need a woman to accompany him, right?" In the night, the beauty of Caroline His face turned slightly red and he said this.
"When you get back, tie up your idiot sister and let me teach her how to be an honest maid." I gritted my teeth and made a vicious slit-necking motion.
But why? A little bit guilty...
"When the time comes, I will tie up my incompetent sister and apologize to you personally." At this point, if Caroline didn't realize that she had been deceived by her sister again, she would not be qualified to become the Twelve Knights.
"Okay, the misunderstanding has been resolved, you two go to sleep." I clapped my hands, waved to them, stretched myself, and walked into the tent first.
I:"……"
"You...do you have anything else?" I turned around and looked at Kaluge and Amrudina who had followed me. I looked at them helplessly.
The two girls seemed startled by this.
That's it, that's it. After all, this personal maid has been following her master since she was a child, so it's not strange for me to follow me in subconsciously.
But Amrudina...isn't this little pet a little too clingy to its owner?
"Your Highness has been running around all day. I must be tired. I'm going to prepare hot water for Your Highness." As expected of a maid, Carolie immediately found a reason to follow in, then turned around and left to boil water.
"Subordinate...Subordinate..." Amrudina's pretty face turned red, she bit her lip in confusion and thought over and over again.
"My subordinate... wants to report to His Highness."
Oh, I'm really sorry for you. I finally thought of a reason to get by.
Seeing that Amrudina's brain was already overheated and she was dizzy, I didn't intend to bully her too much, so I smiled slightly and sat down on the bench contentedly.
"Amrudina, you have been commanding from the front line these past few months, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that the atmosphere had softened, Amrudina slowly put away her panic expression, took a few steps forward, stood next to her, lowered her head meekly and said, "To gain the trust of His Majesty and His Highness, I am entrusted with such a responsibility." This important task is an honor for my subordinates, and it is not hard at all.”
"According to your statement, then all the warrior commanders in the world who have made meritorious service do not need rewards?"
The word "reward" seemed to be like a strange switch, opening up some strange consciousness in Amrudina, causing her face to turn red immediately, and her bright eyes to be moist and shining, as if they could drip water, revealing a lot of secrets. of shyness and anticipation.
Although it was rude to say this, Amrudina at this moment really looked like a hungry puppy, the way she acted instantly when she saw her master taking out a delicious bone.
"Award...a reward or something...this subordinate...doesn't deserve it..." She bit her lip and tried her best to endure something. whispered.
After gritting her teeth and saying this, Amrudina immediately lowered her head in frustration, as if she had missed something most precious in the world.
See Amrudina like this. I couldn't help but laugh, and I felt the urge to continue teasing.
"In other words, you don't like rewards anymore?"
"How could you not like it!" Amrudina raised her head. He blurted out, then lowered his head in fear and frustration, almost crying.
"Hug...I'm very sorry. I'm rude again, it's just...that...that..."
At this time, Amrudina's heart was filled with panic, self-blame, regret and frustration. I have completely lost my ability to think and am speechless.
"Just like it, Amrudina, didn't I say that before?" Amrudina, whose mind was in chaos, heard a gentle voice that fascinated her.
"Whether you like rewards or not, and what kind of rewards you want, is your right, but it is your order to judge whether you have done meritorious service and whether you should be rewarded."
"Order...command?" These two words are like a switch. It made Amrudina's eyes blurry.
"Let's call it an order. Are you going to obey it? In fact, I can't help it even if you don't."
"No, how could it be!" Amrudina suddenly regained consciousness.
It's just that this kind of awakening is another level of awakening, the awakening after opening those strange mechanisms.
"As long as it is His Highness, as long as it is His Highness's order, no matter what it is, Amrudina will absolutely, absolutely obey it." She squatted down gently, her knees were slightly wet, and her eyes were covered with a layer of moist water. Amrudina firmly used her small hands to gently close my palms, put them against her delicate face, and said with great obedience.
"In other words, did you accept the reward?"
"Although I think I have no merit worthy of reward, but... if it is an order..." Her delicate lips exhaled a hot breath. Amrudina seemed to be particularly sensitive to the word "order".
"So, what kind of reward does my knight want?" I asked again.
After thinking about it for a while, in fact, she already had a choice in her mind, but she was too shy to say it out loud. After that, Amrudina mustered up the courage and responded in a small voice: "And …Same rewards as before.”
"There's really nothing I can do against you. It's not okay to be too coquettish."
Sighing softly, the hand on Amrudina's face slowly moved up, fell on her head, untied the ponytail without permission, and then gently touched the beautiful pale hair on her head. Touch it.
"Huha~~ His Highness's hand... is very big... very warm... very gentle... I never thought that having your head touched would be so... comfortable... I should say... only His Highness is... special ...If you are so comfortable...even if you are called coquettish...there is no way to argue..."
Letting out a supremely comfortable sigh, Amrudina sighed intermittently, and knelt down completely on the ground, placing her hands, shoulders and head completely on my thighs to better accept the touch.
This scene can be seen as a warm oil painting of a child lying on the lap of his grandpa and his wife, sharing family happiness, or it can be seen as a close owner and pet getting intimate with each other.
To be honest, my mood was a bit subtle. Amrudina's performance was so perfect. Unknowingly, I had completely regarded her as my pet.
Is it her or herself who is strange? I can't tell the difference at all.
After a while, under the reluctant gaze of the intoxicated Amrudina, I let go of my hand and signaled the end of the reward.
Although she looked very pitiful and wanted more, but the water-boiling Carol was about to come back, and when she saw this scene, I couldn't explain it even with a hundred more words.
"Protect everyone well. This merit will be rewarded in the future." Seeing her pitiful look, I couldn't help but reach out my hand again, touched her head lightly, and said with a smile.
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely fight to the death to serve!" Amrudina suddenly became energetic.
"You don't have to swear to death, just give me normal command." I complained with a wry smile, fearing that because of my words, she would run away and do dangerous things.
"Ah, by the way, Amrudina, congratulations on your breakthrough to the realm."
After Amrudina stood up and regained her usual knightly demeanor and momentum. I congratulated with a smile.
"Compared with His Highness, my subordinates are still far behind." Amrudina smiled lightly, not showing too much joy. It seems that breaking through to the realm of realm is just a matter of course for her.
You see, this is the confidence of a genius. Thinking back to the beginning, Carlos, Seatik and Sister Sharna were probably just as calm and indifferent. Only I was happy and joyful after the breakthrough. He was as stupid as a bear and couldn't even speak.
Although... it is true that he has turned into a bear again, and the Hell Fighting Bear is still unable to speak.
In fact, Amrudina was not without the joy of breakthrough in her heart. Domain realm was a huge bottleneck. Even a genius could not easily break through. Just like Artoria, she also suffered a lot in her journey to pursue the artifact fragments in order to break through to the realm as soon as possible.
The real reason is that it is above Amrudina's head, or right in front of her. There is a more dazzling and more brilliant light, which makes it impossible for her to be satisfied and happy with the achievements she has obtained now, which are insignificant in comparison.
In this regard, Carlos, Seatik and Sharna also share the same problem with her.
"By the way, Amrudina, do you remember what I told you last time?" With congratulations, I finally began to reveal the real purpose of keeping her.
"..." The other party looked confused. Yes, anyone would be troubled by asking this question. It's not like he only said a few words to her.
"When you moved Madea... when you moved the Sky Tribe, you fought the seven-headed basilisk and protected everyone. Then, during the battle between Arturia and I and the black dragon Elias, you took the foresight to save everyone in time. The residents of nearby towns were evacuated and huge casualties were avoided. If not, Arturia and I would have fallen into huge self-blame and been unable to extricate ourselves."
"As for Your Highness, this is just a subordinate's responsibility. Compared with His Highness's contribution and His Highness's greatness, it is really insignificant."
"This cannot be compared. I am the prince of the elves, and I am also half the master. I should protect everyone just like I protect my own home. But you, Amrudina, as Artoria and I If you are a knight who has made such great achievements but is not rewarded, then in the eyes of others, Arturia and I will become unclear about rewards and punishments."
I gave it up and stopped Amrudina who wanted to say something else. I smiled and said, "You should see what the reward is first. Even if you don't like it, you can't return it."
With that said, I took out the dragon bone shield I asked Lukogas to make, stood up, and looked at Amrudina with a smile.
Subconsciously, Amrudina knelt down on one knee, raised her hands, and I gave her the shield.
I always feel that I am gradually becoming familiar with this set of elf etiquette.
"This, this, this...could this be a shield made of Elias's dragon bone? This gift is too heavy, subordinate..."
Looking at the shield in her hand, Amrudina was stunned, and then said hurriedly.
She is a person who knows things. She knows how few blacksmiths can forge dragon bones on the mainland, and how much time it takes to build such a shield. I am afraid that it was made when His Highness went to the Third World. Only the Third World can do it. Found such a good blacksmith.
The problem is that His Highness only has a few months to go to the third world, and it will take almost this time to build such a shield. Doesn't that mean that unless two or more master blacksmiths can be found, His Highness gave the only precious opportunity of that trip to this shield and to himself?
This huge gift was thousands of times more valuable than the dragon bone shield itself. Amrudina was so flattered that she seemed to be in a dream and couldn't believe it.
"Accept it, this is a reward and an order for you." Knowing that Amrudina would not accept this gift easily, I directly issued the order.
"Yes...yes, woo~~" Amrudina, who had no way to refuse the order, wailed. Despite this, when she looked at me, in addition to the respect and admiration that never faded, there was also a deep feeling in her eyes. of gratitude.
"Do you still like this gift...reward?" Facing such a hot look, I felt a little embarrassed.
"If you like it, I will treat it as a family heirloom and enshrine it from generation to generation." Amrudina looked serious, as if she wanted to go back quickly, frame the shield carefully, and store it away.
"I'm not giving this to you to enshrine. Give it to me and put it to good use." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Do you want... to use it?" She seemed to have heard something incredible, with a look of shock on her face. She looked at me and then at the shield, her expression very melancholy and painful.
"Are you going to take His Highness's precious gift and use it... like that? I really can't do it."
After experiencing the battle with the seven-headed basilisk, everyone also knows Amrudina's unique fighting style. Her most powerful weapon is the shield, and what she is best at is hitting people with the shield. Her skin is rough and her flesh is rough, and she can recover. The extremely powerful seven-headed snake monster had all its heads smashed to pieces by her move.
Therefore, right now, her mood is probably equivalent to chopping firewood with Shang Fang's sword.
"Use it for me, use it well, use it to protect yourself and everyone, you know?" Seeing Amrudina like this, I had to give another order.
"As ordered, I will definitely live up to His Highness's gift." Speaking of this, Amrudina was also a decisive person, and she finally accepted the helpless setting of using the precious shield given by His Highness to hit the enemy.
"Well, then you go back first and have a good rest."
"I'll take my leave first." Amrudina bowed respectfully, as if treating a fragile object, carefully held the shield and turned around to leave.
Looking at her like this, asking her to use this shield to hit people is indeed a bit forced and aggrieved... RQ
