His Majesty Eric brought His Royal Highness back, but it was too much. He actually didn't name His Royal Highness.

——Although this news was later proved to be just a rumor, and His Majesty did not have an illegitimate child, the excited mood still would not calm down easily.

"Ahhh, Your Majesty, the child you brought back is really cute, just like my favorite little sheep—children, be hungry, thirsty, and cold."

"What, the description of sheep is quite... Wait, how can you tell that he is hungry, thirsty and cold with his expressionless face?"

"So, Your Majesty, you don't know how to take care of such a small child, so you brought him back and let him rest for a whole day, and you didn't let him eat. You are really enough! Your Majesty!"

"..."

After a while.

"Good boy, do you really have no name? Don't be afraid, even if Your Majesty is useless, we will take good care of you!"

"Wait, why have I become useless, and your attitude towards me has become a little faster—"

"...Deserves death, Your Majesty, please forgive us for being rude to you! But for such an irresponsible Majesty who abducted this child from nowhere, please don't speak or explain."

"........."

Solomon—even in his childhood state, was indeed his old enemy.

How long has it been since he came back, and in a day or two, his status in the eyes of "some" citizens has been smashed from the sky to the ground, and he can already be ignored, and he is asked to shut up and not speak.

Eddie was stunned for a few minutes, and finally realized with difficulty that this was the first time in his life that he was despised by ordinary humans like this.

These few ordinary human beings who included labels such as "female", "there is a child of about five years old in the family", "before coming here, I especially worshiped His Majesty the King", unexpectedly saw that he was so deflated for some reason - he turned into a man when he woke up. That's it—after Solomon, his attitude towards His Majesty, who should have been extremely respected, has undergone a 180-degree change.

One second they were calling His Majesty respectfully with doubts, but the next second, when they raised their eyes to see the fluffy but listless toddler in His Majesty's hands, the women's eyes immediately changed.

A swarm of swarms rushed up, snatched the poor child from the hands of the tall and mighty His Majesty, and hugged and rubbed it distressingly.

Then, one person will hold them, and the others will spread out, those who cook cook, those who prepare clothes go to prepare...

For a while, everyone was very busy, except for His Majesty the King who was forgotten together.

Eddie: "I haven't let you—"

Eddie: "Wait a minute, isn't it so exaggerated that I didn't eat for a day... Okay! Okay! My fault, it's my fault!"

Eddie: "He does have a name, but it can't be used here, I'll take whatever... ok! I won't take it! ok ok!"

Eddie: "..."

He couldn't hold back his face.

However, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't hold on. He realized later that it was really too much for a five-year-old kid to not eat, drink or sleep all day.

Ok.

Absolutely never thought of abusing future enemies, but Eddie, who couldn't raise children at all, closed his mouth angrily, and didn't have the same knowledge as women.

However, it is definitely impossible for a person like him to squat aside obediently after closing his mouth.After walking behind the busy women for a while, he stared openly at the kid whose face was being wiped with a veil soaked in hot water.

Five years old...tsk.

Sure enough, it was different from what he had raised before.

When I met Ozymandias, the kid was already in his teens. He was hard-working, rough-skinned, and thick-skinned. In fact, he was not raised by a man with the name of a teacher. He should eat and sleep by himself. Know.

Eddie crossed his arms and looked through the gaps between the women's bodies, just enough to fall on the calm faces of the young children.

As far as appearance is concerned, Solomon can indeed be called "cute", no wonder it makes women burst into maternal love at the first sight.

The hair was a little long, and it was hanging messily on the shoulders of the robe that didn't fit well.The skin was brown, but it matched the color of his large, childish eyes.

At this time, little Solomon opened his big, godless and peaceful eyes, looking straight ahead.

There are many people in front of him.

However, only the silver-haired man who was silently staring at him was the only one that was completely reflected in his pupils.

Of course, even if he saw it, he was still looking at each other, and he still didn't make any obvious reaction, just staring.

However, this reaction is actually a special "reaction".

The expression on Eddie's face did not change, he was cold and indifferent, but deep down in his heart, there was a subtle uneasiness inexplicably.

——What, I can't even express whether I'm hungry or thirsty, and I can't even say a word.

——This brat is actually more hopeless than he imagined before.

In the human body, is it really as empty as it feels, with nothing in it?

Eddie looked at such a dumb kid, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

Just at this time, the woman who had prepared food for little Solomon came back.

"If your majesty is feeling sorry, just sit down here and feed the child."

Eddie: "...what did you say?"

A woman whose motherhood has been ignited is really a terrifying existence. At this moment, she can directly shield His Majesty the King's inhuman aura, and forced a full bowl into His Majesty's hand.

Staring straight at the bowl of soup that was mixed with unknown grains, Eddie's expression could be said to be rather stiff.

He has lived so long and never raised a child (like this).

In the same way, there is no (like this) to feed the obedient little devil with a spoon.

Which child in the world dares to let him feed?Even if he wasn't scared to death, he might be choked to death!

At this time, Eddie had simply forgotten his subtle emotions just now, and a small wooden spoon was forced into his hand, and the corners of his stiff mouth twitched.

It must be a hallucination—for a moment, I felt that the figure of the man who was always straight and as tall as a towering mountain swayed invisibly, as if he had experienced a very quick and very difficult psychological struggle during this period .

Then, after struggling for a long time, he was defeated by the sluggish eyes of the white-haired kid, and he pinched tightly the spoon that was not much thicker than one of his fingers.

The women made room for him and wanted His Majesty to sit, but Eddie moved the chair aside and left it alone.

Little Solomon was still sitting motionless, his two legs covered by his robe hadn't touched the ground yet.

Although he has not spoken and his eyes have not shifted significantly, the general situation of the place he is in has already been reflected in his mind.

This is another country, and more specifically, it is the imperial palace in the foreign capital.

He grew up in the imperial palace and knew the luxury of the palace.However, it is also the imperial palace, but this place has nothing to do with "magnificence" and "nobility".

The name of the palace is actually just a slightly more spacious building complex, without fragrant wood pillars, smooth marble floors, and even a shadow of gold when looking around. It is as simple as it can be. .

In this palace, apart from a few symbolic guards guarding the gate, there are no servants who serve the only master of the palace.

It's all so poor because the wayward king himself doesn't like to enjoy, as long as he has a place to sleep.Therefore, he wanted someone to come and see what was going on with the puny kid, so he had to find someone outside the palace.

There are so many kings in the world, only this troublesome man would be treated so badly——if others know about this situation, they will definitely think so.

But Solomon won't.

Just like even if he can't understand why the majestic king cares about the trivial things that happen between the bottom people, he won't have emotions similar to doubt or curiosity in his mind, nothing can arouse his non-existent Mental ups and downs.

The fact that the man blatantly took him away was naturally part of it.

now--

In his unchanging amber eyes, the figure of the man suddenly magnified.

Instead of sitting on a chair, Eddie squatted down directly.

He is so tall, if he sits, he has to bend over, which is too tiring and troublesome.The back hem of the black cloak was all dragged to the ground, the shadow fell down, and his right knee also touched the ground, making a very light sound.

"Open your mouth."

Lifting the spoon to Solomon's mouth, and looking straight into the toddler's eyes without hesitation, he uttered the words.

If it was really a normal five-year-old child, he would definitely cry at this time, absolutely.

The woman combing Solomon's hair behind his back: "Your Majesty, your tone is too scary!"

"...open your mouth."

Solomon stared at the spoon in front of him, and after a long while, he opened his mouth slowly.

Eddie quickly stuffed the spoon into his mouth, and Solomon finally relaxed a little from his hostile state as he swallowed his first mouthful.

It is much more natural to repeat the feeding action later.

However, Eddie: "What is this white and sticky thing, I can't tell how it's made, although it smells good—"

The spoon that had just been delivered to Solomon's mouth did not stop, and because of his sudden curiosity, he turned a corner quite naturally.

Solomon just opened his mouth, but the food disappeared.Although there was still no reaction, he just stared straight at the spoon as it gradually moved away from him, and finally - into the mouth of the man who was supposed to be responsible for feeding.

Eddie only took a bite before showing a rather disgusted expression.

"Cut—it has no taste at all!"

He prefers food with a stronger taste.

Eddie tasted it on a whim and didn't like it. Eddie was completely not interested in this bowl of food, and took another spoonful and fed it to Solomon. The target was accurate and there was no deviation.

By the way, he didn't realize at all that he was stared at by Solomon the whole time after he just took a small bite.

Immediately afterwards, Eddie's attention shifted to another matter.

"Have you finished combing your hair? What are you doing here, braiding his hair?"

Eddie frowned, and said unhappily, "Even if he's only a little bit older, he's still a man, braiding his hair like a little girl."

His hair is also very long, but it is never tied.

As a result, as soon as these words came out, someone came back and said, "This child's hair almost covers his eyes, and he can only tie it up a little. Your Majesty, taking care of a child is a long-term thing, and you are not careful at all." You are still far behind!"

Eddie: "..."

He - speechless!

The man who had just finished his meal received more disgust in one day than in the previous 2000 years combined, and his expression was even more resentful.

However, thanks to this sentence.

Eddie reacted suddenly.

"No, not for a long time."

"Why should I bring this kid back? Is it possible that I have to work hard to raise him? Simply, I am stupid!"

impossible.

Leaving aside how much effort he put in, why should he give it to the enemy—no, this is the enemy himself!

Eddie suddenly came to his senses and felt that he had completely lost his mind.No, you have to throw Solomon back.

"..."

It still doesn't work, and I feel a little inexplicably unwilling to just throw it back like this.

Eddie finally stood up, his body completely blocking the light that could still fall on Solomon's face.

"Let you watch this kid first, I'll go out for a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After dropping these words, Eddie left without stopping.

This is how he does things, and everyone is basically used to it. Pick up a child at random, and leave after a while-it won't surprise anyone.

Solomon, who was left behind, continued to be cared for by loving young women.

But still no one noticed that from the time the man squatted in front of him stood up until he strode away, the young child's eyes were always on him throughout the whole process.

Shifting away a little bit, until the man's back completely disappeared outside the door, he slowly retracted his gaze without any ups and downs for a long time.

*****

Eddie made another trip to Israel.

The same place where he abducted Solomon.

Before coming, he more or less calmly guessed that if a prince is lost, the palace will definitely be in chaos. Solomon's father David must also be extremely anxious and send people to look for it.

However, after coming.

Eddie: "..."

Eddie: "Is there a mistake!"

He actually got angry again.

This time, he was even more angry than when he found out that Solomon was a dumb wooden man. He almost couldn't restrain his temper, and came out and beat the king of Israel, who had lost his son and was still hugging the beautiful woman, to death.

It was completely unexpected that the Israeli royal palace, which was expected to be a mess, was actually quite peaceful, without even showing any symbolic panic.

In Solomon's palace, there were still servants walking around non-stop, but they didn't react at all to the disappearance of the master they served.

King David must have known that his son was gone, but what Eddie saw was that this sex-loving king should still flirt and flirt, what should he do, just not look for his son.

Eddie, who only made himself more angry after turning around, was directly pissed off.

Unfortunately, he temporarily forgot his real reason for coming—to come over to take a look at the situation first, and then throw Solomon back cleanly.

Well, no need to remind him of that fact now.

Eddie was so angry that he should have returned to his Papara angrily, but suddenly, another accident happened.

Lucas, who came with him, but flew away on his own halfway, came back.

However, it wasn't just Lucas who likes to run around, an eagle that came back, but also an extra... person?

"quack!"

"Shut up, Lucas."

Eddie raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on the person who was picked up by Lucas with his claws and brought up in front of him, and finally dropped gently.

Perhaps it was because of the long pause that the man who shivered and raised his head trembled.But even so, before Eddie spoke, she still insisted on raising her head, so that the delicate face under the messy purple hair could be revealed.

Of course, even though panic and hesitation were concealed, those blue eyes that couldn't cover up the more vivid and sad blue eyes were also revealed, and were clearly seen by the man who was examining her.

"Hmm. I remembered."

There is no need to recall how long, because it was not long ago.

"That nightingale with a moving song." Eddie said in a calm and authentic tone, but he compared this rather embarrassed girl to a nightingale.

He tilted his head slightly, and casually glanced at a particularly conspicuous bloodstain on the neck of the girl with purple hair and blue eyes.

Although the marks made by the sharp blade were not deep, blood beads still leaked out, bit by bit, which was particularly frightening.

"Why did you learn it too? I ran out and brought back a little girl for me." This was said to Lucas. After the eagle let go of the girl, he jumped to his elder brother's bed in a fawning manner. On his shoulders, he rubbed his head between his hair.

Eddie raised his hand and patted Lucas on the head gently.

He didn't ask Lucas why he brought such a man before him.

With the tacit understanding that I have gotten along with my partner for many years, as well as some details that I have noticed, I can guess the general truth.

The girl was still prostrate at his feet.

He tried several times to prop himself up with trembling arms, but failed.From the angle of looking down, it can be seen more clearly that her delicately groomed braids have been scattered long ago, except for the eye-catching scar, the jewelry around her neck is also gone.

No wonder Eddie knew so much.The reason is simple, he has seen it.

Before this girl encountered a life-changing accident, she had seen her once or twice from afar.

There is a little secret that is not a secret.

During the period when His Majesty the King of Papara was entangled with a mountain of official duties and forgot all about his old enemy Solomon, His Majesty the King did not stay in the palace honestly from morning till night.

Every ten days and a half months, he would also take an afternoon with good weather, away from the roof of the palace where he would be caught if he lay on it, and go to a place far away to bask in the sun.

This is the only place in Papara, and Eddie's favorite leisure place is higher, so he can only go to other countries' land, find a hill to lie down, and there are cliffs not far from his feet.

The path for carriages and horses is at the bottom of the cliff, so, except for Lucas, who is flying higher, no one will see him slacking off here openly.

Once Eddie has chosen a place, he won't change it easily.Therefore, when he was basking in the sun, it was inevitable that he would hear singing coming up from the road under the cliff several times.

The singing was brisk and sweet, expressing the girl's innocent and happy mood. These notes turned into a melodious nightingale, flew over the high cliffs, and reached the ears of the man who was just resting here.

If you don't want to see anything, you can still close your eyes, but the sound cannot be blocked.

Two or three times out of ten times I lie here, I can hear the same singing.

Eddie didn't take it seriously at first, and of course, didn't plan to change places.He didn't find it annoying, on the contrary, he felt that such singing could calm his really restless heart a little.

From time to time, a noble girl passed by the path under the cliff.

She seemed to go from one city to another not too far away every ten or twenty days. Of course, it was impossible for Eddie to know the purpose.

All he knew was what he saw on a whim when he looked down from the top of the cliff.The nightingale-like girl had her beautiful purple hair braided, her blue eyes were full of carefree brilliance, she was in the carriage, protected by several guards, and always sang songs with a lilting accent.

However, the aforementioned accident, which was enough to change her life, also happened on this road.

Passing through this usually seldom-traveled mountain road again, the noble girl who was on the road alone finally aroused the coveted heart of the guards. Those strong men dragged the poor girl out of the carriage and tore her long hair. skirt, actually wanted to rape her.

The girl had no strength to restrain the chicken, so she could only bite the palm of the man's mouth with her teeth and scratch with her nails, but obviously, no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.

Coincidentally, Eddie was sleeping in the same place at this time.

The singing that could bring peace to his heart turned into a scream of fear and unwillingness. This sudden change made the man who was already quite irritable frown.

The mood is even worse.

For the sake of singing, he made a move once and rescued the noble girl who was still trying to resist until the last moment and was almost desperate.

This was their first official meeting, but the man who descended like a god did not look at her directly, but turned his head, took off his cloak, and threw it on her already naked body.

Needless to say, there was no need to say more about the fragmentary words of gratitude that didn't make a sentence, since Eddie didn't listen carefully anyway.

The carriage couldn't be done, so he directly sent the girl who was lucky enough to meet him to the door of his house, glanced in the dark, and made sure that her family took her in before leaving abruptly.

There was no sloppy, and this incident was just a small episode to Eddie, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

However, he did not expect that Lucas, who followed him to listen to the girl's brisk singing and sent the girl home with him, brought this girl who he thought he would never see again to him after many days. before.

Still shivering in the wind, so fragile that it is about to wither.

The unspoken truth was that on that day, the girl was sent back home. Although she was safe and sound, her noble family suspected that she had been defiled and had lost her innocence.

Her parents blamed her for always going to visit her grandparents, without any comfort, so they imprisoned her in the room and kept her under strict supervision.

Her brothers, sisters, and even the servants in the family all looked at her with strange eyes—disgust.

By chance, the girl learned from the maid who risked her life to report that her parents decided to publicly stone her for the sake of the family's reputation.

The innocent girl never thought that she would be treated like this, and she fell into despair after not being able to hold on for long.

Before being taken away by the black eagle that broke in through the window, she had just made up her mind, holding the dagger tremblingly in her hand, closing her eyes, and stabbing her heart hard——

Didn't get it.But because of the sudden sway of his body, the dagger that he couldn't hold stably slashed across his neck obliquely, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

That's where it all comes from.

After struggling for a while, the embarrassed girl finally supported herself with her arms.

These eyes were originally clear and blue, like the sky on a sunny day, but at this moment, they were deeply reflected in this figure that was colder than the sharp blade that scratched her.

She should have been afraid, should have been afraid.

However, the man who was covering her with cold eyes was her savior, so she had to raise her head.

"Thinking to commit suicide?"

The man suddenly said lazily.

All of a sudden, the girl couldn't help but feel great guilt in the center of his plain eyes, as if she had done something stupid.

"It seems that you want to give up the second life I gave you."

At any rate, he was the one who saved him once, what a pity.

"Then before you die, sing me a song one last time, and it will be the price for saving you last time."

"..."

The girl's gaze froze with hesitation.

Her hands were still on the ground, and her fingers couldn't help but clasped together, causing dirty dust to embed into her nails.

"I……"

"I... yes, yes, I am willing to..."

After a short period of silence, the girl really sang the song that often echoed in the mountains.

But unlike the countless times I heard it before, this time, her mood changed. Her singing lost the pure joy that can make people feel peaceful, and added more sadness——

Ai Qi wetted her blue eyes, she choked up, and finished singing intermittently, but she was in tears.

The singing was interrupted many times, and time continued to pass, but both Eddie and Lucas heard the end quietly, without urging, and did not leave after the girl's sobbing voice completely disappeared.

In the end, it was the girl who cried bitterly, seeming to vent all the grievances and despair in her heart.

She wiped away her tears, knelt in front of Eddie, and begged bitterly: "My lord, if you are willing to accept a loyal servant who belongs only to you from now on, then please take me away!"

"Even if no one expects me to live, I don't want to give up myself for others..."

Before Eddie could speak, Lucas let out a sound that seemed extraordinarily happy.

"That's the idea, cunning."

Eddie glanced at the eagle and said softly.

However, he didn't need a servant, and he didn't want anything from a girl who was weak but had unyielding and stubborn eyes.

He just asked casually, "What's your name?"

"Antaxia..." The girl paused and abandoned her original surname: "My lord, my name is Antaxia."

"...Anta, Shia?"

"Yes, yes. My lord, if you don't like the name, I can..."

"Need not."

Eddie interrupted abruptly.

The girl—that is, Antaxia, suddenly heard an even more abrupt laughter.

She stared blankly and suspiciously at the adult who had saved her again, but found that the silver-haired man really seemed to have received a surprise, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, Antasia—oh, it's this Antasia."

"Beside the notorious devil king, a loyal witch who works as a minion?"

"Fine. Starting today—"

"The assistant officer who took all the messy things and freed me from the pain I have been suppressing for so many years is you!"

Antaxia: "...Huh?"

The adults were suddenly ecstatic.

She is still confused.
