When fate comes, even the biggest obstacles become as fragile as bubbles.
"Are you the runaway maid?" Caesar squinted at the little girl in front of him who was about his age, trying his best to show his imposing manner. The old man said that a man must be domineering when facing a woman, so he was trying hard to straighten his "chest muscles".
"You are the servant who escaped. We are really destined to be together. Why don't we run away together?"
Caesar couldn't help scratching his head. Although he wanted to act cool, he only knew that he was carried into the palace. Only God knew the rest.
Judging from his appearance, Alina guessed about 80% of it. Judging from the physique of this Sheou child, he was most likely powerless, because Sheou warriors would be very large and have hard shells on their bodies, while this child only had some on his head, and they were not very obvious. In today's society, the situation of such powerless civilians would not be very good. They would usually become water farmers or menial servants. It was already good enough to be able to retain the qualification of a civilian. For some reason, Alina felt a little angry when she thought of this.
But Caesar didn't think so much. After hearing what Elena said, he suddenly remembered the debt of 500 gold coins. The boss has probably discovered that he is the culprit. Now the only way is to escape back to the Bermuda Death Sea, then there should be no problem. As for the gold coins, it seems he has to find the old man to think of a solution, after all, he also drank the wine.
"Okay, let's escape together. Your headscarf looks really nice."
Elena was speechless. She actually had time to care about her headscarf at this time. She had changed into a palace maid's decoration before running away, but the dragon horns on her head that symbolized the sea dragon royal family were still very conspicuous, so she tied it up with a headscarf.
The two men sneaked out of the wine cellar. This was the first time for both Caesar and Princess Elena. They were not very scared, but just nervous and amused. They saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
It was at this time that Elena's amazing skills were revealed. She was always able to foresee the guards along the way, and could easily break the magic barriers she encountered. Caesar was amazed. After all, for someone who could only cast low-level magic, these things were a little out of reach.
This was the first time that Caesar felt a desire to gain power. No matter how many times Marton said it before, he didn't feel it. But this time, watching Elena overcome all obstacles while he could only follow silently, Caesar's self-esteem was touched.
Leaving the palace is easier than imagined. Alina's advanced water-based sleight of hand - the psychedelic water mirror can refract light and create illusions. Of course, it can also make one invisible to a certain extent. Alina's current magic power is not enough, but it is more than enough to create a little chaos.
"We are finally free, silly baby, you have to accompany us for a good stroll."
"Hmph... Who is the silly baby?" Caesar firmly resisted this kind of address. If the old man knew it, he would laugh his teeth off. Besides, he didn't have many good teeth left.
"You, I've already told you my name, and since you refuse to say it, I'll naturally give you a name. You're so stupid, and you're from the Oken tribe, so I'll call you Silly Baby!"
Elena spoke confidently, and it was not her fault. As a princess, she could get whatever she wanted, and she was used to receiving orders. Although it was a joke, there was still that feeling in it.
"No, I do have a name, and it's very cool, but..." Looking at Alina's eager look, he rolled his eyes and said, "Hehe, I won't tell you, I won't tell you!"
"Humph, I don't care. I'm your savior. A man should be grateful and repay the kindness."
This is true. If it weren't for Elena, Caesar would have stayed in the palace all his life based on his own abilities.
"Okay, I'll take you out to play, as a way of repaying your favor."
In fact, neither of them wanted to be separated from each other. Two children of the same age but with completely opposite experiences would naturally have endless topics to talk about when they get together. Elena told Caesar the interesting stories in the Dragon Palace, while Caesar told Elena the legends of magic knights, heroes and princesses told by the old man. The two talked as they walked, and unknowingly got closer and closer.
"Is the place where you live so fun? Take me there to play, so I can see that strange old man." Elena's curiosity had been aroused by Caesar. As a member of the royal family, she vaguely knew that these stories should be stories about a race called humans on the continent. They were very powerful, but if what Caesar said was true, it meant that there was a human being who could survive on the seabed, which was impossible. Moreover, the place where they lived was the most mysterious and dangerous forbidden area of the sea people, the Bermuda Death Sea.
"This..." No wonder the old man said that women are the source of trouble and are the easiest to make men lose their complacency. Although he was just a boy, the old man had strictly forbade him to tell anyone about this, let alone bring others into this sea area. Although the two of them had been fighting and playing, Caesar still regarded the old wizard as his father in his heart, he just didn't want to say it.
Although she was always very happy and Elena was not a proud princess, she was a princess after all, and no one had ever dared to treat her like this. She was waiting.
"Well, next time, please, you must have the old man's permission." Although Caesar saw the expression on his face that he liked the girl, he was still Caesar and he still said it through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, right now. If you don't take me with you, I will ignore you!" Elena's princess temper also came up.
Although Caesar is usually careless, there is something that has been deeply engraved in his bones since the moment he was born. After spending some time together, he has discovered that the girl in front of him, whom he likes for the first time, is not as simple as he imagined. For a palace maid, she knows too much, but Caesar does not want to ask too much.
"Although the time I spent with you was short, I was very happy. Thank you again for saving me." After saying this, he performed standard aristocratic etiquette, turned around and left. The old man was worried after he didn't return for a day and a night.
Looking at Caesar's leaving back, Elena's nose suddenly felt a little sour, and something seemed to want to flow out of her eyes. In fact, Caesar's situation was not much better.
Maybe it's because they are all children.
