“…….”
"...!"
"install!"
On the bumpy carriage, the green-haired girl woke up the boy.
"Um?"
The young man gave a vague response, his eyes felt uncomfortable, and he stretched out his hand to rub them.
"Are you okay?" The soft face came closer, and the golden eyes were full of worry.
"What do you mean?" He blinked, trying to look cautious.
There were only two people in the small carriage. The young man, An, had a look of confusion on his face. The other man, Miku, frowned slightly when he heard such an answer.
"After coming out of the palace, you have already been distracted for the fifth time!" Miku put his hands on his hips, "This time I called you several times and you didn't respond. I wonder if you were frightened by those majestic and gorgeous buildings. ”
"How could..." An awkwardly laughed twice.
Miku's anger made him at a loss. She was rarely angry on weekdays, and even if she was harshly criticized, she would always find the reason within herself. So An felt very guilty.
At the same time, he felt as if he had forgotten something.
Did I wander off a few times?
An fell silent, wondering if there was something wrong with his body. My current state is as if I haven't slept well and my head is feeling groggy.
Miku suddenly laughed, and An was dazzled by his quirky and cute look.
"Okay, I'm not really angry, I'm just trying to make you happy. But it's true that you're absent-minded."
Ann saw concern in Miku's eyes.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Just don't be angry.
An calmed down, felt the state of her body, and then said: "I don't feel any discomfort. It should be because I didn't sleep well last night."
At this point, his mind slowly became clear.
When An was sixteen, she left her hometown with her sister Mei Ke and joined a theater troupe that her sister knew well. Then she got to know the introverted but capable leader Bai, and the seemingly indifferent but actually very caring Liu Ge. Sister, the Hairen eldest brother who often goes out and his whereabouts are very mysterious, and the Als brothers and sisters...
As well as the person in charge of the troupe, the most famous singer on the mainland - Miku.
With Mei Ke's relationship with the troupe and an unexpected performance when she first joined, An quickly integrated into the troupe and fell in love with this big family.
The troupe travels and performs, so An can see different styles in different places and enrich a lot of knowledge. And because the troupe itself is famous, An benefits from it, and its reputation spreads quickly. Now, a year later, An has many fans and is finally no longer so inconspicuous among the members of the troupe who are all very popular.
In addition to traveling performances, the troupe occasionally accepted invitations from local residents and nobles.
On the one hand, it is difficult to refuse the warm hospitality of the old audience, on the other hand, they have given so much...
It's like this time I was invited by the empire, and the remuneration received is enough to support the entire theater troupe in eating, drinking and having fun for four to five years without doing anything!
Of course, this is the most exaggerated reward so far, but even if it is the smallest, it is still a large amount of money.
Having said that, the troupe can't just ignore the other party because the money they offer is large. When receiving an invitation, you must understand the relevant information in advance and accept it only when it is safe to do so.
There is no way, being too famous will cause trouble. There will always be people with evil intentions who want to satisfy their own desires, especially when most of the troupe are women, so you have to be more careful.
Leader Bai has put a lot of thought into this aspect. Although she does not participate in the performance, in terms of importance, she is above Miku!
Speaking of Captain Bai, her deeds can be called a legend.
Not only does it single-handedly support the operations of most theater troupes, but it is also able to gather local people to help build stages wherever it goes. But this ability is unparalleled. However, she still looks like she has no confidence. It really makes people don't know what to say...
A strange feeling wrapped around An's heart.
However, similar feelings had occurred too many times, and An didn't care anymore.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect Ling to be the princess of the empire, Liliana. I thought it was amazing that she was a noble, but I didn't expect that she would be from the royal family." An rubbed his face. He still finds it incredible.
Unexpectedly, Ling would be the most noble princess of the empire. The boy next to the girl was also the famous imperial guard captain Leonhardt.
But think about it, it makes sense that only the royal family can have such great power in the imperial capital.
What alarmed An An the most was the fact that he was mistaken for the regent of the empire. Fortunately, Princess Liliana and Captain Leonhardt were not angry about this matter, otherwise it would be difficult for the troupe to get out of the empire's borders alive.
An is confident in his own force, but he has not yet imagined that one person can fight against an empire.
"Yes, Her Royal Highness Liliana does not seem to be as cruel and cruel as the rumors say. She even specially ordered Captain Leonhardt to put on a mask and play a joke on us." Miku covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes narrowed. A thin crack, "At first, I thought I would be beheaded because of a misunderstanding."
As soon as she heard Miku say this, and couldn't tell what her plans were from her eyes, she felt even more awkward when settling down.
Anshou touched his neck and picked up the topic: "Her Royal Highness Liliana is indeed kind-hearted and specially arranged a place for us to live."
When the troupe met the princess, they were not only dragged into chatting about all kinds of topics for a long time, but late at night, the young princess also arranged for everyone to rest in a room in the palace.
This generosity shocked everyone in the troupe. Captain Bai didn't even sleep all night, and fell asleep in the carriage after the convoy was back on the road.
"What a pity, you are still too scared to sleep well?" Miku opened his eyes, his eyes full of smiles.
The hand on his neck rubbed awkwardly twice, and An laughed a few times, but couldn't answer the question.
After a short effect, Miku put his hand back on his lap: "However, Her Royal Highness Liliana is too enthusiastic. Although we are somewhat famous as members of the theater troupe, we are still civilians after all..."
"Maybe I really look similar to the regent." An thought for a while and could only come up with this answer.
My eyes felt like something had entered them, and they suddenly stung. An frowned and subconsciously raised his hand to rub it.
"Is it really just a resemblance?" Miku seemed to want to see through An, "You seem to have helped Mr. Leonhardt handle daily documents, right? Why are these things happening?"
hiss--
An's eyes twitched several times due to the stinging pain. When he came back, Miku's face was close at hand.
"That sword was also awarded to you by Her Royal Highness Liliana. It is obviously a ceremonial sword belonging to the Regent of the Empire..."
Miku turned his head and looked at the things wrapped in cloth placed next to An.
The combination of her words made An feel like her brain was heating up, as if it was being burned by fire.
Ceremonial sword?
Is it that gorgeous sword?
The strange signs of fever made An's consciousness a little blurry.
"Even if you say so..." An murmured, "But I am Sister Mei Ke's biological brother..."
"Really?"
"if not……"
Gradually, even breathing became difficult.
Suddenly, my forehead felt cold.
At some point, Miku put his forehead against hers.
An was awakened instantly.
The tips of their noses touched lightly, and Miku said this:
"Well, I believe you."
Her eyes seemed to be shining brightly.
The fragrant breath hit his face, An Xueqi surged up, and he instinctively retreated, hitting the back of his head against the car.
"Haha, are you finally shy?" Miku smiled narrowly, her hair falling down from her forehead, "Obviously you always looked like a nerd before."
An looked at Miku, a little dazed.
He felt that Miku had changed a lot. Although she had a lively personality before, she was not so teasing. Now, my character feels a little more mature.
...but more attractive.
An's face turned red, and she took out the history book she often read from the package and held it in front of her.
"Hey, are you lying?!" Miku narrowed the distance curiously, "Are you so innocent? I haven't noticed it in this year."
The girl seemed to be venting some emotion and spoke in an unusually loud voice.
"You really need to take the initiative..."
The loud and teasing words were mixed with a soft murmur, which was not noticed by An.
Unable to retreat, he shouted through the book: "Why have you become like my sister!"
"Hmph, girls change very quickly, you have to adapt." Miku stepped away, hands on his hips.
When did her personality start to change?
...It seems like it was after the performance in the Imperial Capital?
Behind the book, Ann opened her eyes.
My heart is beating so fast.
Instinctively, he adjusted his breathing.
Before turning her attention to her breathing, An heard Miku's somewhat uneasy words.
"An... do you have a girl you like?" As soon as he finished speaking, Miku quickly continued, "Look, aren't there many people who are about the same age as us who are already married? I just want to ask you I just use the idea as a reference, nothing else...if...if you have someone you like, I can...help you!"
marry?
Ann didn't understand why the topic turned to this.
But now that Miku asked, he started to think seriously.
It didn't take much time to come to the conclusion: "I haven't thought about it. My sister hasn't met the person she likes yet, so I'm not in a hurry. I want to wait until my sister gets married before making plans, otherwise I'm afraid of irritating her. She, it would be bad if she were allowed to find someone casually."
"That's it, I think it's not far away..." Miku whispered something that Ling An cared about very much, but she quickly changed the subject, "...then do you have someone you like?!"
Miku's voice suddenly became very loud, interrupting Ansu who was about to ask about his sister.
An likes...everyone in the theater troupe. An likes it. It makes him feel like home here. But An also knew that was not what Miku was asking.
Looking deep into his heart, An looked up at Miku.
The only one who can be said to have the same kind of love between men and women is Miku.
During this year in the troupe, they spent the most time together and had the best relationship. This is not only because they are the same age, but also because they are good at working together - in the theater troupe, no one is only responsible for one job. Because of the number of people, everyone basically wears multiple hats. Therefore, apart from An and Miku, In addition to performing together, we often spend time together.
Now that I think about it, there may be another reason why Mei Ke deliberately matched them.
The answer is known, but it’s a bit hard to explain...
Miku was still pressing forward, trying to get an answer from An.
An's face turned red and he hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.
After staring at An for a long time, the corners of Miku's mouth gradually turned upward.
"Well, I understand."
The girl sat back down in her seat demurely, and she was obviously in a good mood.
