There are a few days every month when my belly gets bigger

Izeksen has short black hair and eyes of the same color, a straight nose, deep features, thin and sharp lips, he is a handsome young man.It's just that at this time there are thick black shadows under his eyes, and Guangle easily associates them with the escape during this period of time - that's the trace of exhaustion.

When the pope concludes a contract with his guardian knight, the covenant will cause the power of the two to be connected to a certain extent, and the power from the pope will greatly increase the power of the guardian knight. Their strength has risen to a higher level.The pope can have multiple guardian knights, and the guardian knights can only be loyal to the pope throughout their lives, dedicating their loyalty and strength to him.Among the multiple guardian knights, the first guardian knight gained the most benefits. Arlan was the Son of Light, the incarnation of the Holy Light, and the benefits he could bring to people were even more unimaginable.

If Izeksen agrees to be his guardian knight, then at least his strength will increase by one level, and the knights after reaching the eighth level will be much stronger, at least it will make them less embarrassed at this time, and, there is Hope to hit the ninth step.

Izeksen was silent for a moment, and with Sui Guangle's expectant eyes, he shook his head: "No, Your Majesty."

Sui Guangle:  …

The black-haired knight's ears moved sharply, and he took him deeper into his arms, and said softly, "You deserve better."

Immediately, he drew his sword, hugged the young boy in his arms tightly, and walked lightly into the cave.

Sui Guangle stayed quietly in his arms, looking at each other in dismay with the ghost: "What kind of reaction is this?"

"Maybe he's not your target?"

Sui Guangle also wanted to know if Izeksen was his target, after all, he was the first person he saw in this world, but now Izeksen has refused to become a guardian knight.And he couldn't guess the reason anyway—the Pope's guardian knight almost attracted everyone in the Holy See, and the benefits it brought were unimaginable.

"Izeksen, can you tell me the reason?" The childish voice sounded in the cave, with a touch of doubt and curiosity.

The black-haired knight smiled at a place he couldn't see, and walked a little heavy: "Your Majesty, although I am willing to serve you and give up my life for you, before that, I was already someone else's guardian knight." gone."

When he said this, there was a touch of tenderness in his black eyes, as if he remembered someone.

"Oh..." Sui Guangle simply crossed Izeksen off the list, "Your sweetheart?"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, where did you hear this?" Izeksen seemed to be choking on his saliva, coughing in shock.The black-haired knight thought who told him this, shouldn't the Pope of this age know nothing?

"Is she a beautiful and generous girl? Considerate and gentle? Don't worry, Izeksen, I won't tell others that you already have a sweetheart."

Izeksen was a little helpless: "He is my younger brother."

"I remember that you were a prince before you came to the Holy See." What is the reason for a prince to be his brother's knight?

"But it's not anymore, Your Majesty, I am the knight protecting you." The black-haired young man said.

Izeksen Thorne and Luus Thorne, the two princes of the former emperor of the Degas Empire, Izeksen was sent to the Papal State Edgar because of his outstanding talent, and later entered Emerald Cui, but This also means that he cannot get involved in secular power for life, and can only inherit the throne by his younger brother.Seven years ago, the throne of the Dega Empire changed, but the second prince who was supposed to inherit the throne has disappeared.After some confusion, their uncle Lucilla succeeded to the throne.The current emperor of the Degas Empire is the younger brother of the previous emperor, Lucilla Thorne.

Relying on his previous experience in novels, Sui Guangle keenly found the key point: "Your uncle took the throne of Lutus?"

Izerksen was a little surprised that he knew this, but he was relieved when he thought of the teachings of the former Pope Gregory: "Yes. Lucilla betrayed the oath. He promised to take good care of Reuters, but for the sake of power But he was imprisoned in other places... The outside world said that Lulusi was dead, but I knew that Lucilla could not do such a thing-although he liked power, he did not go to the point of mutilating his siblings , Reuters must have been imprisoned elsewhere by him."

——Hide the plot.

The grievances of the Degas Empire must be one of the hidden plots of this world.Now that Izeksen is already telling him, then Sui Guangle listened quietly, the idiot of 998 refreshed the whole mission, and now nothing comes out, it would be good to learn something from Izeksen.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Arlan was also born in the Degas Empire.

Arlan, whose full name is Arlan Lorraine, was born in the Rose family of the Degas Empire, the youngest son of the contemporary Duke of Rose, Alta Lorraine.Surrounded by the power of light when he was born, he was directly brought back to the Holy See by Pope Gregory who was at the side at the time.In the dispute over the throne of the Degas Empire, Duke Alta Lorraine did not do anything beneficial to Prince Lulus, but he did not harm him either.Duke Rose claimed to be sick and returned to his territory, and did not return to the imperial capital until the overall situation of the empire settled down. Lucilla was afraid of the power behind him, so she did not dare to do too much, but tried her best to win him over.

Sui Guangle wisely kept silent.Outsiders thought that the youngest son of Duke Rose was weak and sick, and had been raised in the family territory. Few people knew that he was also the son of light of the Holy See.Obviously, Izeksen didn't know the relationship between his family and him.

After the black-haired knight finished the long list, he smiled a bit shyly, his pupils were almost the same color as the dark cave in the depths.

"We will rescue him, Izeksen." Sui Guangle comforted him like this, but he was really confused.Why is Izerksen so sure that Reuters is not dead?Is he sure that his uncle won't do it?There is still something that can be confirmed in his hands.But he didn't dare to ask these questions, he just kept them silently in his heart.

He couldn't help thinking about what might happen—the collapse of the hidden plot.There may be some connection between the Qiangwei family and Izeksen in the future.It's better to brush up your favorability at this time, even if the world collapses, he will recognize it.

The silver-haired child smiled at the knight who was hugging him. Such a clear and sweet smile was like the best quality bee sugar produced in the province of Lorraine, almost suffocatingly sweet.

The black-haired knight was stunned by the child's pure smile, he nodded, and hugged the smiling child more tightly.

After they twisted and turned in the cave, were almost overtaken by the pursuers, and jumped into a random teleportation magic circle, Izeksen finally fell to the ground slumped.His face was pale and bloodless, and he almost threw the child in his arms to the ground.

Only then did Sui Guangle realize that the black-haired knight was rapidly aging, and his handsome face in his early twenties looked like a 40-year-old middle-aged man in the blink of an eye. Although he was still handsome, it was difficult to hide the passage of time.

"Time flies!"

Sui Guangle cried out in surprise, a kind of sacred art from the Holy See of Guangming, forcibly shortening the time of the recipients, making them aging instantly.

And keep getting old...the only thing you can get is death!

He could hardly describe the scene he saw at this moment. He watched the black-haired young man grow old, his thick black hair turned gray, and his originally smooth and handsome face was covered with wrinkles.The time passing by Izeksen seemed to be completely out of control, and he suddenly turned his head to look at 998.

"If you are willing to take the damage for him, then maybe there will be salvation! Although you can't mobilize most of the power, the holy light can let you transfer it!"

Sui Guangle immediately put his hand on Izeksen's forehead, feeling the light power raging in his body.As the incarnation of the Holy Light, this step was not too difficult for him to walk, but when he tried to guide the raging power to himself, Izeksen grabbed his hand and shook his head slightly in an arc.

He could recognize that the two words the knight wanted to say were "Your Majesty", and stubbornly and stubbornly refused his help.Sui Guangle pursed her lips, pressed his hand directly, and transferred and assumed without hesitation.In any case, his current body is only eight years old, even if he is affected by the passing of time, he will not age too quickly.

The strange power was introduced into his body by him, but there was no change, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.Although Sui Guangle didn't understand why, she was still overjoyed and hurriedly transferred all the unfavorable forces in Izeksen's body into her own body, but at this time, Izeksen had already entered old age.

The combination of youth and child has become an old man and a child. Arlan's silver hair is still dazzling. He kneels beside the black hair—no, he is now a gray haired knight—with his blue eyes soaked in water, unable to blink. He blinked at his last knight.One second before he entered the magic circle, he heard the knight who was holding him cry out in pain, but he didn't expect that he would be hurt so badly.

He took out the holy water from the ring and fed it to Izeksen, and his condition finally seemed to be much better.Izeksen closed his eyes, feeling helpless and touched, and shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is useless, and I will still die."

"But at least you can get through now." Her young fingers playfully tapped his head.The two struggled to support each other to stand up, and finally had enough energy to look at the surrounding environment——

"Lorraine." The childish voice fell, with trance and uncertainty.

Large patches of red roses spread out in the field of vision, occupying almost every inch of sight.The lush branches stick out of the iron fence, forming a thick flower wall with almost no edge.They are now under the wall of roses, and the air is filled with a charming fragrance.Looking back, there is a tall black tower rising from the ground, and the sharp top of the tower goes straight to the sky. However, in the lush rose bushes under the black tower, it is strange that there is no rose in bloom, only lush branches and leaves , verdant and dripping.

Lorraine.

The territory of the Qiangwei family, the province of Lorraine.The first emperor of the Thorn family and the founder of the Degas Empire gave this land to the first Duke of Roses when rewarding their achievements. Since then, Lorraine's roses have never faded.The moment he saw this sea of ​​roses, boundless memories flooded into his mind, all of which were about Lorraine—Although Arlan lived in the Holy See when he was a child, he would spend one month every year Back in the province of Lorraine, this rose flower should have left an impression in his mind, but it's a pity that it is not clear now.

While recalling Sui Guangle, Izeksen was staring at the dark tower in the distance. He took a few steps forward suddenly, but he was unable to support himself and fell to his knees.

Sui Guangle bent to pull up the knight, but Izeksen pushed his hand away and looked up into the distance.

Beside him, the long sword in the scabbard was humming slightly, as if it couldn't wait.

"Reuters..."
