His Majesty the King not only brought back an innocent child, but also brought back a seemingly innocent little girl——

So, why do you say "innocent"?

Although the child whose name was not known was starved all day, in fact, it was an unintentional act of His Majesty who had no qualifications to raise children.But the newly brought back girl was only in her teens, and within half a day after arriving in Papara, she was crushed by a huge mountain.

"Learn, needless to say, you must know! Come, come, sit down here, pick up a pen, these parchment scrolls that give me a headache are yours from now on!"

Antasia: "...Huh!"

Of course, this act of abducting a girl just to exploit her free labor was strongly remonstrated by loyal ministers at the very beginning—well, it’s a bit exaggerated, but the momentum of resolute opposition is almost the same .

Eddie was angry again: "What are you doing, you guys! Didn't you say that you can find an assistant officer to handle these messy things for me? This, did you see that, I found it!"

Minister: "Your Majesty, calm down! It's not that you are not allowed to accept the appointment as an assistant officer, it is really—won't you let this girl rest, calm down, and understand the general situation of our Papara before taking office?"

Eddie: "..."

I am sorry.

Because he was too excited, he forgot that "ordinary human beings" were different from himself and needed a full rest.

"...Sorry."

Before he was officially freed, the man who had to continue writhing in the ocean of pain slowly sat back at the seat he had pointed out to Antaxia, staring at the pile of official documents before him again, as if facing the enemy of this world, the man in his eyes A gloomy shadow flashed by, and his eyes became even sharper.

Antaxia was frightened by the lord's gloomy apology.

It's not because of the scary tone, but because she never imagined that she only wanted to serve this lord as a loyal servant, but what she was really facing was this...

"Auxiliary officer... my lord, how can I be so humble—"

"I said yes, yes."

Eddie, who had to pay a heavy price for his skipping work, said such decisive words without raising his eyes.

Antaxia originally wanted to kneel down, but her knees felt cold and unable to bend for no reason.Although the man didn't look at her, his plain voice seemed to have a magical and soothing power, which gradually dissipated the anxiety in her heart.

"Don't say that you don't have this ability, I know you can, you just need to adapt as soon as possible, and then, show me your potential."

Antaxia was stunned, and there was a momentary blank in her mind.

The man was still casually saying: "Ah, you don't have to worry about being jealous or ostracized. Didn't you see the joyful appearance of those guys just now? It's impossible for them to have any objections to the person I chose."

I am very happy because from now on, I don't have to be called a fool by His Majesty from time to time, and I don't have to disturb His Majesty to take a nap all day long. Moreover, His Majesty the King is really not made to be a king.

As for any comments——

How could it be possible!

People who set foot on the ground for the first time will not understand it, but it is the truth.Papara is a rather peculiar country, from the king to the most ordinary commoners, which cannot be equated with people from any other place.

One of them is that even if the king is not a qualified king, no one will question what he says and the decisions he makes even if he does not give any explanation.

Everyone believed him almost blindly.

This is not a change that can happen within a day or two, but after a few years, like a miracle, it has sprouted bit by bit, sprouted, and finally cast the current result.

Antaxia still can't understand it now, but she has already been able to vaguely perceive what is the source of this absolute trust.

After only a while, the confusion in the girl's heart was expelled.Just at this time, the man paused, as if he had considered other possibilities, and added: "Well, well, if you still feel reluctant in the end, then—"

"No! My lord, I will work hard... No, I will definitely, I will do it to the extent that my lord is satisfied!"

"Yo, that's a nice expression."

Eddie raised his eyes, and he saw the girl's change of state as if she was completely new, and appreciated it very much.

That's right, what did that submissive look look like before.It has been said that he does not need a servant, but only an assistant officer who can help.

The purple-haired and blue-eyed Antasya was originally a naive and innocent girl, but she just turned 15 years old. She has a very slender figure and looks very delicate.

But in her bones, her stubbornness and fortitude are no less than that of men, and even better than most men.

Is it because Eddie's words are too easy to brainwash people, or is there a small spark in Antasia's heart, which was only ignited by the opportunity that came due to the accident.

Even a little bit at first is enough.

Eddie was glad to see the unyielding fire in the girl's eyes.

Didn't I say it a long time ago, the first decision to save her was because of her singing.The second time, it was for the strength and determination in her eyes.

And... well.

It's his favorite blue.

He likes to gaze into his clear blue eyes, which also give him peace of mind.

"I'm not tired now, I don't need to rest! My lord, if there is anything I can do, please tell me."

Antaxia couldn't wait to dedicate her strength to the adults.

However, her lord was silent for a while, and did not ask her to come over and review the official documents for him.

"15 years old, a little younger, but...should be no problem, it can't be more difficult to take care of the kid than reading these crooked words."

Well, that's all there is to it.

"you go--"

"Uh-huh!"

"...Turn around outside, and bring a little kid this big," he gestured, "a white kid with an expressionless face."

"Then, for about a day or two, you will be responsible for raising him!"

Antaxia was elated: "Obey!"

……

Wait, wait, what does the lord want her to raise?

child!

*****

Not all "women" are good at raising children... no, "born to raise children".

Antaxia is from aristocratic background, she was pampered since she was a child, and she has never done any housework, so how could she be able to take care of children, which is quite troublesome, without a teacher.

Therefore, she fell into a very tangled situation when she met Solomon for the first time.

At a loss.

Standing in front of the white-haired child obediently sitting motionless on the chair, she didn't even know how to hug her—not to mention, her slender arms couldn't hold Solomon at all.

"How can it be... my lord, no, the first mission the king entrusted to me, is it going to fail completely before it officially starts?"

Antaxia, who had tacitly accepted that she had become a citizen of Papara in a second, felt a trace of despair, but the insignificant disintegration was quickly burned away by the flames in her heart that refused to admit defeat.

"No !!!!"

"My lord, I understand your intentions. If this is your test for me——I will never fail your trust! Let me take the first step here and contribute my humble contribution to your great cause !"

If Wang heard it, he would definitely say with a blank face: "What a mess, I don't have any great achievements, but I just want you to help take care of the children."

However, the king is not here, and no one can know Antaxia's determination, so this wonderful misunderstanding has to be maintained for a long time and without limit.

Xu Shi mixed into the action the only trace of pain that remained after resolutely abandoning everything in the past. The girl who originally wanted to prove that she would definitely be able to relieve Wang's worries was full of enthusiasm, and she came to a strange place and met with a strange place. All the unfamiliarity and hesitation in dealing with people have been thrown away.

She humbly asked the women who took care of Solomon before she came, and carefully observed the whole process of the "teachers" washing, cooking and feeding their children.

For the most youthful and beautiful girl who is only 15 years old, it seems too early to learn to do these things at this time, and even if others don't know Antasia's origin, they can see from her slim figure It turns out that she is not an ordinary village girl.

Even the teachers were saying, why didn't His Majesty directly entrust them with the task of taking care of little Solomon? It would be a waste of money to let Antaxia, whose hands are so smooth and soft, take over.

But Antaxia herself, after gently thanking everyone for their concern, said with a firm expression that she could do it, and that she would definitely be able to do it to perfection.

Not only because of her talent and intelligence, she can understand how to do even unfamiliar steps just by listening to them once, but also because she is quite harsh on herself and puts aside the reservedness of the former nobles to do her best——she really did it.

After a lot of research and study, I finally reached the step of practice.

Even though Antaxia was confident before coming here and felt that there was definitely nothing wrong with her, she still felt a little worried when she faced a child she had never had contact with before and wondered if she would be rejected.

In the end, it turned out that her worries were completely unnecessary.

It is impossible to find a better child in the world than Solomon!

—Single refers to this aspect of taking care of daily life.

During the process of observing and learning, Antaxia met the teachers' children, all of whom were around five years old, but among them, even if the most obedient and obedient child was selected, they would not obediently listen to their mother every time. Do whatever you want.It's common to be naughty a few times, play tricks, and give parents a headache.

Not so with little Solomon, however.

He can be called the real "obedient".

Let him raise his hand when he raised his hand, let him open his mouth when he opened his mouth, even if he washed his face with a little more force and wiped his cheeks a little red, he would not make any noise, and only used the big eyes that only children can have. Looking at her quietly, as if telling her, it's okay...

The last half of the sentence is obviously Antaxia herself thinking too much.

But it's harmless, even if Solomon is so "obedient" he almost never talks to her, and he may not be able to answer ten questions. After a few days of getting along, Antaxia already likes this quiet child very much.

In fact, there is another hidden fact that Antaxia will not discover for the time being.

She was an Israeli, and Solomon was the son of the king of Israel and the future king of Israel.

Because her father was just an ordinary nobleman with a title, Antaxia did not have the opportunity to go to the capital to meet the king, let alone meet the prince.

Fortunately, she didn't know Solomon's real identity, otherwise, her love for this child would inevitably be mixed with some complicated feelings caused by associations with the family and parents.

"Wang—Wang, Wang, please look!"

Such a cheerful song, like a nightingale breaking free from the mud, resounded in the always lifeless palace, adding a bit of vitality to the room.

"Well?"

Once again—that's right, once again Eddie, who was about to be driven mad by government affairs, just raised his head and only took a look, and was almost choked to death by the breath he just lifted.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

"King! What's the matter with you? Wow! I'm calling someone..."

"Wait, wait, come back to me, little girl, your king is not dead yet!"

Eddie remembered that he told people not to braid Solomon's hair a few days ago, but today, Antasia brought Solomon with a different hairstyle in front of his eyes as if showing off.

Good hair, although a little longer, a little messy, a little soft - but, how could I not see it in the blink of an eye, and it became like this!

Eddie silently looked at Solomon, who was braided by Antasia, and the little devil with this long and thick braid also looked at him silently.

This is basically a women's braid, and there is a beautiful ribbon at the end of the hair.The culprit didn't realize what was wrong at all, because it was a habit to wash and wash every day, and that's how she braided her hair. Solomon's braid was exactly the same as hers.

She also looked at Eddie with too bright eyes: "Wang! What do you think of this?"

Eddie: "...I don't think so."

Antaxia was shocked, and then her whole body turned gray.

"I...failed...failed to get the king's approval..."

Eddie: "..."

Eddie looked away slightly, without changing his tone: "It's not ugly, I reluctantly admit it, it's a little better than I imagined."

"Ok!"

Antaxia immediately revived.

"However." Eddie said something against his conscience (he still felt that men should not wear braids), and brought the topic back.

"It's too monotonous to edit like this, so change it a little bit."

Antaxia took Solomon's hand and led him closer to the throne.Eddie leaned over, the height was just right, he could touch Solomon's head without having to stand up.

He untied Antaxia's shiny long braid, pulled it a few times, and parted about a third of the kid's hair.

Solomon's hair is particularly fluffy and soft, so it is easy to shape it in your hands.

Eddie was also braiding someone's hair for the first time, but it felt like braiding a wreath.So, after thinking about it for a while, his fingers moved smoothly.

"Just weave this bundle, and then find something to hoop it up."

The one-third of the white hair was divided into three parts, entwined at the man's fingertips, and turned into a braid that was no longer as thick as before.

At the end of the braid, the ribbon that Eddie had between his teeth would come in handy.He left a small section of the braid, folded it back, and then wrapped it around with a ribbon, tying a knot that wouldn't come loose easily.

"This belt is still ugly. It's better to change it to something else, a harder ring. Well, I can't find a usable one at hand, so let's just leave it at that."

Eddie withdrew his hand naturally.

After Antaxia watched the whole process of him braiding the child's hair, the shock finally disappeared from her eyes, and what was replaced was even more exaggerated—worship!

"Wang, you are really omnipotent! Woo, I, who want to share your worries, are still too far away."

"You girl, why do you always like to use such exaggerated descriptions...Forget it, forget it, do as you like."

Eddie didn't care about these details, he held the newly braided braid in his palm and pinched it.

Hmm, it feels really good.

After pinching several times without changing his expression, he was in a better mood, so he temporarily left his official duties logically, raised his braids, and waved them in front of Solomon's eyes.

"Here, take a look for yourself, do you like it?"

He asked this question on purpose, and also deliberately fiddled with this brat who didn't give him face, in order to see an expression other than calm from Solomon's face.

Or, it doesn't matter even if the expression doesn't change, it's fine to say something to express dissatisfaction.

——No matter how you can’t express it, when you are being teased maliciously, you should react a little, right?

That's what Eddie thought.

It can be said that for Solomon's next reaction, he harbored an inexplicable expectation.

but.

He was destined to be disappointed.

Solomon looked at him, and also at his hair tied up by the man. After a long time, he shook his head extremely slowly.

Eddie thought that the shaking of the head meant "dislike", and he was thinking with relief that this kid could have likes and dislikes at least—

"I don't understand, your question."

The child's voice should be immature, but because of the undulating voice, it showed a rigidity that would only make people frown.

"what sense."

Solomon said lightly.

The expression of the man who relaxed a little, but then froze in the next moment was reflected in his eyes, and it was clear now that his eyes were mirrors.

It can reflect and show everything in the outside world, but it has no color itself, let alone a heart called "self".

Solomon didn't understand.

He has lived in this palace for several days, but whether it is the man who brought him here or the other people he met here, they are doing things that he cannot understand.

At unspecified times, ask him if he is hungry, thirsty, and cold.

Pointless.Because the function of the body is not damaged, it can still function normally.

While eating, have an extra conversation, asking again if he is satisfied with the taste of the food.

Pointless.Because he feels nothing.

More often, do some strange things, try to mention more incomprehensible topics to him, like this one now.

Pointless.

Because he——has no way of defining what it means to "like".

It's pointless to do anything to him.It was such a cold message that came out from the depths of Solomon's pupils.

"This, why is it meaningless?"

Antaxia hadn't realized Solomon's true nature yet, she was puzzled, and she had to explain patiently: "Isn't the king just wanting to ask your opinion? If you like it, of course it's great. If you think this look is not good-looking, then go bold." Say it..."

"Antaxia."

"The king is so tolerant, he definitely won't..."

"Antaxia."

"Um, huh? King?"

Antaxia, who bent slightly, touched Solomon's head and spoke softly, was suddenly interrupted.

She paused for no reason, and raised her head, only to find in astonishment that a shadowy expression appeared on Wang's face.

"Don't say so much to him. Really, that's the real nonsense."

"king--?!"

Although she didn't understand why the king had such a sudden change, Antaxia had already sensed his anger.

But this anger doesn't seem to be aimed at Solomon.

Instead, facing the one behind him who controls everything—who?

"Take care of him for a few more days."

"As ordered... But, Wang, are you planning to go out?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Eddie had stood up.

There was still a lingering shadow on his face for a while, but Antaxia saw that the man's golden eyes were still shining brightly even though they were clouded.

"I still have to go again."

"Even if it will prove how stupid my decision is later, how unnecessary it is..."

It's too much this time.

Otherwise, he couldn't get angry, and couldn't hold back this breath.

--then.

Tranquility still reigns over Israel's royal palace.

King David waited for an unexpected guest.
