"Ah sneeze..."
Aylmer in the gorgeous villa sneezed several times in succession, and then smiled when the knight commander looked like he was looking at a fool.
"Marshal Ruan is probably scolding me now."
The knight commander was expressionless. Let alone Marshal Ruan, he would have scolded him if it were him.
After returning home, Ruan Shu also took out three gems.
"This...was given to me by His Majesty. He asked me to braid these two for him."
There are many styles of lace, and several of them can indeed be decorated with pearls and other things, which are also very beautiful.
So Ruan Shu had already thought about how to make it up for him.
Ruan Xiao looked at the gem his daughter took out and fell silent, but the air pressure around him became even lower.
Your Majesty, what exactly does he want to do?
Although he did have many gems, the gem he gave to Ruan Shu was very special.
That is the 'Phantom Sea Star Stone' that only the Siren Royal Family can possess. It can only be obtained in a place under the sea where the abyss is full of magma.
The Magic Sea Star Stone is special because it recognizes its owner, and also because it emits bright light when its owner needs it at night, and it has the effect of generating heat and keeping warm in a cold environment.
Because it is extremely rare and represents a symbol of status, among the Hai clan, only royal families with high status can wear it.
Even if they give gifts, they will only give them to those they recognize as strong. It is not easy to get the Fantasy Sea Star Stone even in the auction house.
Among the many gems His Majesty has, there are probably only about three of the Fantasy Sea Star Stones.
But he just gave the Huanhai Star Stone to his daughter, which made Ruan Xiao have to be vigilant. What on earth did he want to do?
Ruan Shu didn't know that her father was in a serious mood and was still talking to him.
"Almer is so pitiful. He said that other things given to him would not survive more than three days."
Ruan Xiao's face was expressionless. This was true. Not only that, their Majesty had some unlucky attributes. When an accident happened, he would definitely be the first to be unexpectedly visited. In other words, he must be thick-skinned and strong. Grow up healthily.
"Almer said he has the most gems, so when giving gifts to others, he can only give gems."
Ruan Xiao endured it and restrained himself from swearing in front of his daughter.
What a crappy gift he gave. The Dragon Clan, a species that can only enter and not get out, also gave gems. Don’t even think about taking a single gold coin out of them. Who did he give gems to? Or a gem like the Phantom Sea Star Stone.
Ruan Xiao took a deep breath, hugged her daughter tightly and warned her.
"His Majesty has many things to do every day, so we can't disturb him."
Ruan Shu thinks what her father said makes sense. After all, he has to manage such a big country. How can he not be busy?
So he nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Dad, I won't disturb him."
Ruan Xiao was very pleased, and he was relatively relieved about his daughter.
but……
He overlooked one thing. His daughter was very well-behaved, but a certain majesty was quite rebellious.
Ruan Xiao left for the military headquarters the next day, and Ruan Shu painted, took classes and knitted patterns at home.
She was all nestled in the small nest in the hanging basket. After yesterday's rain, it was a sunny day again today.
Ruan Shu was wearing knee-length shorts and a small T-shirt. Her snow-white arms and legs were like lotus joints. She was plump but not fat, and she was just right cute.
Her chubby feet were only covered with small white socks with lace, and the soles of her feet were in the shape of pink cat paw pads. The clothes the housekeeper prepared for her were basically custom-made, and there must be something special about them. Cat-marked stuff.
For example, cat paws with pink plum blossom pads, cat ears, or cute cats, etc.
Half of Ruan Shu's fair legs were exposed outside the hanging basket, and she swayed a few times comfortably while relaxing.
She is very quiet, her soft snow-white hair sticks to the side of her face, her head is slightly lowered and she is doing things seriously, which is endearing. A pair of fluffy white cat ears on her head are also slightly drooped.
Thin black and gold threads shuttled through the fingertips, and within a moment, a beautiful knot was formed.
Ruan Shu took the red gem and put it in to try it out. It could wrap the side of the gem and reveal a nice-looking shape on the front.
She was in a good mood and her tail wagged a few times.
It was also at this time that Aylmer arrived.
He was accompanied by the knight captain and the steward who led the way.
Even the smile on the butler's face looked a bit forced.
Master, you asked me to keep an eye on the young lady and prevent her from running next door, but you didn’t tell me what to do when the one next door comes!
After all, he is His Majesty, he can't keep people out.
"Womanly."
When Almo's voice came, Ruan Shu raised her head and sat upright, looking at him in surprise.
"Almo, why are you here?"
Aylmer said with a smile: "Why, don't you welcome me here?"
Ruan Shu shook her head quickly, pursed her lips and smiled crookedly.
"No, it's just...are you here to see dad? He's not at home."
After all, Aylmer and his father are considered superiors and subordinates, so it seems normal for him to come to his father.
Aylmer was quite familiar and sat down next to him, "No, I'm here to find you."
Ruan Shu looked at him in surprise, then raised the thing in her hand and said softly, "This will take some time to complete."
"I know, it's just that you forgot to take something away yesterday."
"what?"
Aylmer took out a beautiful sepak takraw ball.
When Ruan Shu saw the sepak takraw ball, she immediately remembered what happened yesterday when she was frightened and fainted. She glanced at Almer with a resentful look, but she quickly looked away.
But Aylmer guessed that she should know, so he handed her the sepak takraw ball, touched his nose and apologized.
"Sorry, I scared you yesterday."
Ruan Shu shook her head, curled up her toes while holding the sepak takraw ball, and said sheepishly.
"Yes, I went to your side without your permission first."
Aylmer "It's my fault after all. If you want to go there in the future, you don't need to notify anyone. You can go there at any time."
Ruan Shu smiled at him and said, "Okay."
"How is this played? I have never seen such a small ball."
"I made this up myself. Other balls are too heavy and too big for me. This one is called sepak takraw..."
Ruan Shu explained in a sweet voice, but in the end she turned into a ragdoll cat and started playing with Almo.
Maomao hugged the ball, looked at the black dragon opposite with his round eyes, and fell silent.
The black dragon obviously deliberately suppressed its size. It looked about the size of a tiger, but it was actually smaller than Dad and the others.
But it was still too big for Ruan Shu.
She hesitated for a moment, then rolled the takraw ball and threw it in his direction.
Then Almer flicked his tail, and the sepak takraw ball flew up into the sky and turned into a shooting star... and disappeared.
One cat and one dragon all raised their heads and watched helplessly as the sepak takraw ball flew away and never fell again.
Ruan Shu “…………”
How on earth did I get fooled into agreeing to play sepak takraw with him?
