The king seems to be making me laugh

? Of course, the lifeboat was given in the end.The yellow-haired youth who was taken out of the captain's room seemed to spit at Ai Jia with a gloomy expression, "You wait."

Ai Jia looked at the ceiling, pretending not to see him.

After the door was closed, Ricardo walked up to him and dangled around, "Daughter-in-law, does it still hurt?"

Ai Jia took a step back and bowed slightly. "His Majesty……"

"What do you call me?"

"Ricardo." Ai Jia took a deep breath, "Please take the overall situation into consideration and return home quickly."

"I came out with the overall situation in mind." Ricardo pointed to the captain, "This is Richard South Burton, the young master of the South Burton family. We are discussing important matters."

The captain nodded, "Indeed."

It seemed that no matter what he tried to persuade, Ricardo was determined to stay here.Ai Jia intends to discuss this situation with Alna.After all, Ricardo was away from home, and he had to be responsible for the safety situation.Moreover, with Ricardo's freewheeling personality, it can be expected that this is probably a terrible responsibility. "In that case, this subordinate will leave."

"Don't tell anyone I'm coming," said Ricardo, "I'm traveling in secret."

Indeed, it should not be publicized. If an organization that hates Ricardo hears about it, then things will be troublesome.Ai Jia bowed to signal, and closed the door behind her.

Ricardo smiled and waved his hands until he was completely gone, then sat back on the recliner and continued to raise his legs on the sofa, "Where did we just talk?"

Captain Richard South Bottom sat beside him. "Speaking of your plan to pick him up."

Ricardo coughed dryly, showing a rare expression of embarrassment, "...before then."

"I didn't expect you bastard to be shy." Richard lit his pipe, exhaled a long smoke ring, and then smiled, "Isn't it fine when you tease him in person?"

"Get down to business." Ricardo seemed eager to change the subject, "We were talking about taking him to see your great-grandfather. When will he be free?"

Richard blew another smoke ring, "He's free for a few days. I closed Kelsey Woods at your request, and he can finally take a few days off from his work as a caregiver."

Ricardo nodded, apparently preoccupied, and stopped talking.

Seeing such an abnormal performance of his long-lost friend, Richard couldn't help being playful, "Seriously, Ricardo." He put his legs off the table and leaned forward to his upper body with a solemn expression.

Ricardo also approached him, "What's wrong?"

"Instead of bringing him to my great-grandfather, it's better to bring him to your father as soon as possible."

"Shut up." Ricardo rolled his eyes.

Richard laughed and stopped for a long time, "Speaking of which, are you willing to send him to Kelsey Jungle? It's very dangerous there, what if he comes out missing arms and legs?"

"I trust him." Ricardo picked up the goblet on the table, shook it, and took a sip, "Besides, I won't let him go, why did he make a fortune in the dense forest... I call him something Take whatever you want. You won’t be so stingy.”

See, it wouldn't be Ricardo if he didn't take advantage of every opportunity.Richard smiled wryly: "Hey, it has nothing to do with me being petty. There are rules. Besides, I have made a lot of concessions on the terms we talked about this time. It's all for your sake. , if my brother finds out, he must beat me to death."

Ricardo spread his hands, "You are not enough friends. Think about it, did I raise any excessive conditions? It's just that in case of war, you send a few soldiers to be my backup. It's not a big deal, right? Hey, I signed so many orders for the royal family to you. If it weren't for the fact that your sister-in-law is Miss Susan, I would not be so rare to come to you. Speaking of which, Rocky Island I still haven't refused when I showed my favor back..."

Rocky Island is St. Ylang's biggest rival.Richard was helpless, "Look, this is boring."

"I'm telling the truth." Ricardo really stared at him quite seriously.

Of course he meant it.Richard knew Ricardo well, he never recognized anyone in the face of interests.This is what he admires most about Ricardo, but under certain conditions this quality is also a bit of a headache...

Richard exhaled heavily, then put down the pipe, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Well, it is conceivable that Ricardo will definitely show a triumphant smile that he has succeeded in his trick.

As he expected, Ricardo did show a smile.But what was unexpected...he showed that slightly shy smile.

After Ai Jia returned to the deck, Joan greeted him immediately, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Ai Jia remembered Ricardo's advice, thought for a while and said, "You also saw that those people were thrown down."

"Hey, this captain is quite interesting." Joan smiled and pushed him, "You know, when you were taken away just now, my mother almost drew her knife and rushed up."

"Fortunately not." If what she said was not polite, then Ai Jia would really have a cold sweat because of it.In case the second son of the South Bottom family was injured, there must have been no lifeboats when he was thrown down. "Where are Johnson and Pilot?"

"Oh yes, let's talk about that kid." Joan pouted, "He has something to tell you—Pilot, come here!"

"I have nothing to say." Pilot sat not far from them, raised his head, and said blankly.

"No, actually he wants to apologize to you." Joan was a little embarrassed.

"I didn't." Pilot argued, "I just said that I would be very sorry if you were killed."

"..." Forget it, forget it, anyway, he didn't expect any apology.

However, Ai Jia still tends to believe that although he doesn't say it, he at least has a little bit of repentance in his heart.Because for the rest of the way, the toucan stood on his shoulders very peacefully, and did not go to solve the problem on top of other people's heads.

All the way was safe and sound, and it was quiet until the night.Ai Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief and planned to sleep well to save some energy for the possible disputes tomorrow.But just as he drifted between reality and dream, he was dragged back again.

"This is your room number." After the waiter handed him the key, he retreated cleanly, without leaving him a chance to ask.Ai Jia held the key in a daze, and it took a long time to react, and quickly looked up to Joan and the others, but found nothing similar.

Could it be the special treatment given to him by Ricardo again?Ai Jia frowned, feeling the urge to throw the key into the sea.To be honest, when his relationship with his players finally broke through, the last thing he wanted was special treatment.

But considering that it is impossible to contact Alna in the first class, he still plans to go to the room first, stay for a while, and come out without anyone noticing after finishing his personal affairs.

The abacus was good, but as soon as he took the key out of the hole and pushed open the door, before he had time to put down the luggage, he began to regret it so much that his intestines were green.

Ricardo was wrapped in a bath towel, lying on his side on the big pink bed in the middle of the room, smiling at him.There was a pungent aroma in the room, reminiscent of...a fireworks venue.

"I went to the wrong room..."

Ai Jia grabbed the doorknob and pulled it hard.

"Hey——" Ricardo sat up quickly, and called him before he closed the door, "Where are you going?"

"Back to the last class." Do you want to wait for the big sisters to come and stand by the side as bodyguards?

Ai Jia was very unhappy. In Oja, this kind of transaction is a very bad behavior both legally and morally.But apparently, the morally corrupt Freeport and Ricardo of the Coral Island Confederacy don't care about that.

"Come here." Ricardo smiled ambiguously and waved to him, "I'm just waiting for you."

Ai Jia's face flushed red, and then she became angry.No matter how bohemian Ricardo was ordinarily, and how he liked to make some unscrupulous jokes, he didn't care, but this time it was too much. "Please respect my personality, Your Majesty."

The last time he made such a joke with him was Joseph Daman, and Aijia cut him with a knife in the duel field.

Ricardo seemed to finally realize that he had stepped on the red line, and withdrew his smile, "Well, that's not what I meant, Ai Jia...I meant to..."

"I am unable to duel with you due to my status, but you will lose my respect because of this." Ai Jia bowed and said.It would not be polite to say that he used to have a certain respect for Ricardo.Ricardo has a good heart, which can be seen from the faces of the children in the orphanage.

"Okay, I knew it." Ricardo rubbed his hair somewhat annoyedly, then took out a key from his pocket, and threw it to him, "Stop making trouble, this is for you. It's sincere."

Ai Jia caught him, took another step forward, and put him on the bed, "I refuse special treatment."

"I know who you are." Ricardo smiled helplessly, took out three more keys, and handed them along with the previous one, "Take them together, this is a gift from the captain, no money is required."

Ai Jia left with satisfaction.Ricardo watched him go out, rubbed his hair again, and lay on his back on the bed, heaving a long sigh.

Uncle Long got out from under the bed, lay on his stomach, and snored comfortably—until Ricardo stretched out his hand to pinch its tail with a grin on his face.

·

After learning that there was a bed, Joan, who was obviously very happy, rubbed her "old waist that couldn't sleep on the floor" and walked into the middle cabin.Pilot, who was obviously very happy but put on an indifferent face, followed closely behind.

After hearing that this was a gift from the captain to suppress the shock of the afternoon's fight, Johnson showed a subtle expression and hesitated to leave.It wasn't until Ai Jia couldn't help urging a few words that he said: "I didn't help you today, so I shouldn't go in."

Ai Jia wanted to laugh when she heard that. "It's okay, since you have a room, go to sleep."

Johnson stared at him for a while, finally shook his head, sat back to his original position, closed his eyes, and Ren Aijia didn't move no matter how much he advised.

Ai Jia suppressed her smile and didn't bother him.Stubbornness is a bit stubborn, but Aijia appreciates such a person--this is the kind of masculinity that Oja admires most.If it weren't for Ricardo, they would have become close friends long ago.

Speaking of Ricardo... he hasn't solved the big problem yet.I really don't know what Arna was thinking, how she would let Ricardo come out alone.The last time he was assassinated in the palace and castle, wouldn't it be even worse when he was away from home?

He goes back to his room.Sure enough, Ricardo didn't joke with him again, this time it was just an ordinary middle class cubicle.He stowed the luggage, spread the parchment on the table, and hexed his inkwell so it wouldn't scatter as the ship rocked.

But just as he picked up the quill, dipped it in the inkwell, and was thinking of words, there was a knock on the door.

Just as Ai Jia put down her pen and was about to get up to open the door, the door opened by itself.A woman in a long gray dress came in. It looked a bit like Sister Leila's, but a little more inconspicuous than hers.

"You are..." Ai Jia felt that she looked familiar, and then remembered that she was the only opponent he had eyes for in the election outside the Weiwo Palace, and the one who was eliminated with him in the end.How could she come to him?

She unceremoniously sat on the bed in Ai Jia's room, spread her hands, and there was a silver coin in it, "For those who are about to fall."

"And what is about to rise." Ai Jia understood.This turned out to be his colleague.I really didn't expect to meet my compatriots on such an occasion. His tense back muscles relaxed just now, and he couldn't help smiling, "Hello, I'm Ai Jia."
