"Knock Knock Knock-"

Wei Lan knocked on the door quickly and hard, and the noise inside stopped immediately. It must be that he heard the knocking on the door outside and stopped moving instantly.

There was no movement inside for a long time, so Wei Lan knocked on the door again and deliberately said:

"Your Highness Ryan? What's wrong with you?"

After waiting for a few more seconds, the door was opened. As expected, it was King Ryan who opened the door. He pretended to be surprised when he saw him.

He forced a smile on his old face, which he thought was kind.

"Ah! What's the matter, dear Princess Stephen?"

Wei Lan also pretended to be surprised to see him, and responded politely, looking inside, "You didn't see Al,

"Nothing, I just heard some strange noises...?"

"Oh?" King Llane's degenerated eyes rolled back.

"Nothing's wrong. Maybe I accidentally dropped the candle just now."

"Ah!" Wei Lan screamed deliberately.

"What should I do? I'll have the servants come and clean it up now."

King Leon immediately waved his hand.

"Don't bother, it's already been cleaned up."

"So..." Wei Lan murmured, pretending to be embarrassed:

"Why didn't I see His Highness Ryan...? What happened tonight must have been a big blow to him... Can I see him...?"

King Leon stared at him for two seconds, a smile inexplicably appeared at the corner of his lips, and then he turned around.

Then Al appeared in front of him. He was neatly dressed. If it weren't for the dirt like footprints on the corners of his clothes, he would have believed that nothing had happened.

Al pursed his lips tightly, his eyes wandering, as if he was afraid to look at him.

King Ryan smiled kindly again at this time.

"Then I'll go back first." Then he immediately walked out the door and left.

Wei Lan opened his lips and his brows tightened, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The main reason was that he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't just ask him, "Were you beaten?"

Al subconsciously grasped his trouser legs, showing a hint of embarrassment, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Princess...Stefanie."

As he spoke, his eyes occasionally looked into the distance in the corridor.

"You haven't treated the wound on your body?" Wei Lan saw that he was still injured from the dinner party, so he wanted to take this opportunity to

"follow me--"

So he dragged him downstairs.

When they arrived at the medical office where Lin had brought him last time, he told her that he had hardly seen him since the last incident. When he saw him occasionally, he would just greet him politely.

It seemed that he had no recollection of what had happened before.

Wei Lan dragged Ai'er and threw him into the infirmary, then stood outside.

"Can you handle it yourself?"

He thought that this way he wouldn't have to worry about anything and could take care of the injury he had just received.

Al nodded obediently and went in with his head lowered.

Wei Lan stood outside and waited. After a while, someone came out. So fast? Wei Lan was a little surprised.

Then I saw that the bandage on his arm was loose and looked a little rushed.

Without thinking, Wei Lan quickly reached out to tie it tightly for him. But before he finished tying it, Al looked around and suddenly said:

"Princess, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

Before Wei Lan could react, he was dragged away by him. It seemed that he had a purpose, or he had planned the route from the beginning.

There is no pause at all.

He took Wei Lan out of the castle and avoided all the places where there were guards.

But what they didn't know was that in the distance, a man in military uniform with a sword at his side was staring at their departing figures, his short silver hair particularly conspicuous in the night.

His hand gently grasped the hilt of the sword, and he suddenly remembered what had happened throughout the day.

Then he looked up in the direction of the third floor.

----

We walked all the way to the center of the grassland, and the path at night was quiet and peaceful under the moonlight.

Wei Lan watched him getting farther and farther away, and quickly pulled him to stop. No, he thought to himself, is it necessary to run so far just to talk?

"Ha--Hoo--" Wei Lan took a deep breath and almost died.

"Huh - what exactly do you want to say?" After taking his last breath, he finally couldn't help but ask.

The two of them stopped. Al stood in front of him and turned around suddenly. His green eyes became darker because of the darkness.

He spoke slowly, as if he had made a great decision, and he was extremely determined. He said:

"Princess, come with me..."

"ah...?"

Wei Lan didn't understand what he meant. Either she didn't recognize the words he said, or they sounded strange when put together.

Ai Er clenched his fists, then suddenly opened them and looked up at him. Then he raised his hands and suddenly hugged Wei Lan. There was a trace of heartache in his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs:

"Princess...I will protect you and will never let you suffer this again..."

"Come with me, let's get out of here together...

Okay? "

A hint of pleading gradually came into his voice as he spoke.

Wei Lan now completely understood what he meant, and suddenly her mind went blank in disbelief.

He actually wants to elope with him...? !

What made him come up with such an idea and why did he dare to do such a thing? This never happened in the original book.

"What a joke..." Wei Lan pushed him away and looked at him calmly:

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"Come back with me." Then, Wei Lan grabbed his wrist with his backhand and tried to pull him back.

But things did not go so smoothly. Al stood there and refused to move no matter how he pulled him. Instead, he took two steps in front of him, grabbed his arms with both hands, and said urgently:

"I mean it, Princess, Stephen,

I love you,"

"I want to take you away from here, come with me..."

He said it sincerely and earnestly, and it didn't sound like he was joking.

Wei Lan bit his lower lip, opened his lips and closed them again, struggling for a long time before finally saying what he hadn't said this morning.

"Your Highness El Ryan, I'm sorry, but I cannot accept your love...

Have you ever thought that this is not love, but I just mistakenly think it is because of my kindness to you? "

......

The air seemed to be stunned for two or three seconds.

Al froze suddenly, but he showed no expression, but that was entirely because he was unaware.

After realizing it, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't relax. He didn't even realize the dryness and pain in his throat.

He could accept the princess rejecting him, he could accept her saying no with any words, even using words to belittle him as unworthy, but he could not accept his princess denying his love.
