THE A

After a whole night of tossing, Hara drove back to the palace until dawn.Unexpectedly, there was too much noise about his late return this time, and the accompanying guards slipped his mouth about his frequent visits to the Longbie Courtyard.

The next day, Naga found him in his study.

"I heard that you found Fulou? Did you arrange him in Longbieyuan?" Naga lowered his voice after entering the room, rarely shocked.

Seeing that Haruo was still playing with the pair of crystal jade bracelets in his hands, he couldn't help but understand that Fulou must have met him again, and he was completely possessed by Haruo.It's just that when he took Fulou away, he didn't even say a word to others, was he planning to hide him?

Hara didn't respond, her face was indifferent.

Naga took a deep breath, the reason for Hara's absent-mindedness recently must be because of Fulou.

"What do you think? Do you still want to take him into the palace again in the future?"

"Yeah." Hara replied casually, he didn't have the heart to think about this question.

Fu Lou, who never loses his temper, actually says he hates him, what right does he have to hate him?However, he had to admit that this was a huge blow, and he still couldn't wake up from it.

Naga calmed down, and suddenly said seriously: "Hara, don't waste time with him anymore. You will succeed in a few years, and you still want to continue to entangle with him? Your frequent trips these days have already made His Royal Highness Very dissatisfied, and caused a commotion yesterday."

Naga said it very seriously, deliberately making Hara pay attention to this issue, but unfortunately Hara didn't even look at him, and couldn't listen to him at all.Moreover, Her Royal Highness also mentioned to Naga about letting Hara choose a concubine, and Naga had to help him smooth things over.

After a while, Haruo responded, carefully put away the pair of bracelets, and put them in a precious box in front of his desk.

"........."

Looking at the bracelet, Naga was silent for a while.He is very clear that this relationship is very important to Hara, otherwise he wouldn't be listless holding this pair of bracelets in a daze all day, not reading books, not practicing swords, doing nothing, as if wasting time.It's a pity that Naga doesn't understand, how can I persuade Hara to escape from the vortex of feelings?

Even if he wants to take Fulou into the palace again, Fulou's identity is at best a pet, and there will be unstoppable gossip and rumors, and it is impossible to be together forever. Haruo will marry the princess sooner or later, he will be criticized.

If Hara gets tired of playing one day, the rest of his life will not be easy.This is not fair to him as a commoner...

Dragon House.

Ah Rou knocked on the door and pushed it open. "Dasha, open the door, someone is looking for you."

A glimmer of light came into the room, and Dasha raised his listless head.

"Someone... looking for me?"

Ah Rou didn't mention His Highness, the person who came to see him couldn't possibly be Hara, and her heavy heart was no longer on guard.Dasha walked to the door with difficult steps.

For several days, he shut himself in the dark.Originally he was a very cheerful person, he liked flowers and plants, and he also liked to go out for a walk and work, but now he seemed to be a completely different person, he didn't like to go out to meet people.Dasha narrowed his eyes for a moment illuminated by the light.

Ah Rou was outside the door, and there was another person standing behind her, who should be looking for him.With his glasses hanging down, Dasha spoke consciously: "Hello..."

……

Naga widened his pupils in surprise, his pupils trembling a little.He thought of several situations in which he came to meet Dasha, but he never expected that he would lose weight so much that Naga, whom he had not seen for a long time, was startled.

"..." Naga took a deep breath and asked with a chill down his spine, "How did you get hurt like this?"

There was a bruising mark on Dasha's forehead, which was shocking. His eye sockets were sunken, his cheeks were bloodless, terribly pale, and his cheekbones were conspicuous.

Guessing that Naga was frightened by his dejected appearance, he took a step back, "I... I fell before."

Dasha staggered as he walked, still sticking to the stick that never left him.

Naga took another breath, "Your feet..."

Dasha was stunned, not knowing how to explain.

Naga entered the house without authorization, and the room smelled stuffy. Naga’s nasal cavity was sensitive, and he almost vomited. He immediately opened all the windows and doors, and asked Ah Rou Duan to come over with tea and snacks. He greeted Dasha and He sat at the table together and looked at each other as equals.

"I heard that Hara found you, come and see. Is your foot still okay?" Naga looked sideways at Dasha's left ankle, and the ankle under the bandage was already deformed.Not long ago, when he lost his way in the hunting ground at night, Dasha did hurt his foot at that time. After all, it has been so long, it is really strange that he has developed to this situation.

"This..." Dasha said hesitantly, his memory was full of scenes that made him unbearable, he was a little nervous and dared not tell the truth directly, "It was done...in prison..."

I also know that I was injured by the jailer, but why didn't Hara mention this?Naga began to greet others: "Is it okay to live here?"

"I..." Dasha didn't speak, keeping his head down.

From the looks of it, how could it be good? Naga also felt that he was asking the question knowingly, so he simply asked, "Do you want to go back to your country?"

"..." Dasha looked at him with some surprise, and made a jerky voice, "I...I think."

...No, no, no want to stay here anymore, he knew it was a mistake for him to stay, not only he was having a bad time, but Hara was also having a bad time.

...just saying that, what's the use...

Naga sighed and said in a concentrated voice: "I will arrange for you to go back."

He came today just to talk about this.This is also what the queen means.She hoped that Haruo would calm down as soon as possible, and stop being so playful, and go out of the palace to meet with male favorites frequently like this. If it gets out one day, it will definitely tarnish the reputation of the royal family and affect his succession to the throne.Naga is Haruo's good friend, and he must be an important minister to assist the king in the future. The queen hopes that these matters can be handed over to him, and those idle pets will be sent away.

Dasha didn't know that Naga was entrusted by the queen, and thought that Naga was out of the concern of his friends, and there was a tinge of joy in his depressed expression: "Really, really?"

Naga said solemnly, "It's true."

Dasha laughed unconsciously, but was extremely nervous: "Hara... he, he is willing to let me go... won't he take me away again?"

take away? ...

From what he said, it seemed like he was being bullied by Hara.After a pause, Naga was a little dazed, "This matter is hidden from Hara. If he comes, don't let him know for the time being, and don't tell other people in Longbieyuan."

Dasha nodded obediently, hoping that Naga was not lying to him.

But after thinking about it, Haruo's furious face reappeared in his mind, and Dasha was still uneasy, "If he knows I'm gone...will he be angry, will he...make things difficult for you..."

"Don't worry about it." Naga glanced at him lightly, frowning slightly, "Your current status is not suitable to be with him, and it will affect his succession to the throne. It's better to end it earlier. You know, after Hara If you want to marry the princess, if you are here, what will others tell the royal family?"

What he said was a little harsh, and Dasha couldn't react for a moment.It turned out that his existence was also a burden to Hara, why no one told him before.

Naga added: "His Royal Highness hopes that he can calm down and stop spending his mind on spoiling him."

Dasha panicked, "I, I'm not that kind..."

He didn't know why he had to defend himself.

Naga ignored him, but asked another question: "Do you have any relatives in Galor?"

Dasha thought for half a second, lowered his eyes, if he returned to his hometown, he should live alone.

"...not anymore," he replied.

"I will give you a sum of money so that you can return home safely." Naga could hear his disappointment, but the poor man must also have something to hate, he was voluntarily used by the Garol royal family, and now this The situation is not someone else's fault, Naga also reminded: "Don't let Hara find you again, go back and live a good life."

"Well, I will, he won't come to look for me... Thank you, thank you." Dasha bit his lip and nodded, Hara didn't know where his hometown was, and when he went back, Hara would definitely not find it What's more, Haruo doesn't like him anymore, so how could he still go to him.

Naga's businesslike attitude did not make people feel warm. Dasha did not dare to classify his relationship with them as friends, but he still sincerely thanked Naga. It was better to give him the opportunity to return to his hometown than to stay here Tangled with Hara and tortured each other.

Naga agreed with him on the departure date before leaving.Thinking that he would get on the carriage back to his hometown in a few days, Dasha's mood relaxed a lot. He no longer worried about Hara, and he didn't care whether he would torture him again. Everything should be over, and he was even willing to Get out of the house and move around.

In the yard, Ah Rou was feeding the fish by a small pond.Dasha walked over slowly. He had been here for a long time, and his mood was very dull. He didn't notice that there was a small pond here. Looking at it this way, it was quite beautiful. The jalapeno carp swimming at the bottom of the pond were lively and lovely.

"Dasha, is your foot getting better?" Ah Rou asked with concern when she saw him coming.

"It's much better..." He was perfunctory. In fact, his legs and feet didn't hurt very much anymore, but they couldn't get back to the way they were before. He was still a little limping, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Suddenly he discovered something, and he laughed a little: "It's so beautiful..."

Ah Rou pointed to a few carps and smiled happily: "Yeah, I also think they look good. I raised them myself."

"No, no, I said... those small stones are very beautiful." Dasha was a little ashamed.

Ah Rou was puzzled, unable to react for a while, she looked carefully into the pond, it turned out that Dasha was talking about the colorful small stones sinking in the clear water, they were piled up in obscurity, she was used to seeing them and didn't pay attention to them, this way , It matches well with carp.

Seeing these stones, Dasha couldn't help thinking of the bracelet that was no longer there, and his past with Hara, Hara's gentle and dedicated side.If the bracelet is still good, he can return it to Hara as what he owes him, and let everything go back to the original point. From then on, the two people will forget about each other.In the future, he will start a new life, a life alone...

He couldn't help but said, "Can I pick up some of these stones?"

Ah Rou was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Dasha smiled shyly: "I, I want to make a bracelet..."

Ah Rou chuckled, "Okay, I just know how to do it, I have a needle and thread in my room."

Dasha picked some stones, and Ah Rou enthusiastically taught him how to make a bracelet.After that, Dasha grinded with a thick needle for four days, and finally punched more than a dozen stones. After finishing, his fingers were blistered.There is still one day before his departure, and it just so happens that Hara hasn't been here these days.

Ah Rou is a girl who doesn't dress up very much, and doesn't have many accessories on her body. The needles and threads in her room are all prepared for making jewelry for others.

Dasha carried the handful of small stones into the room, wiped each stone clean, and placed them neatly on Ah Rou's wooden table.

Ah Rou looked at them and sighed, "Actually, you said it like this, it really looks good when made into a bracelet."

She found a needle and thread, and quickly strung the stones together.

As if something was missing, Dasha held the bracelet, a little dissatisfied: "It would be great if there was a feather."

"Feathers? I have them here, you should have said earlier." Ah Rou turned around, she rummaged through the low cabinet in the room for a while, and found a wooden box.

After opening it, it was full of colorful feathers, many of which seemed to be dropped by peacocks, and some of which looked like those of other birds. She asked Dasha to choose one.

"This one..." He quickly picked out a blue-green one, which was the color of the previous one. It was the feather of a peacock. I don't know if it was dyed.

If Hara was to be compared to an animal, the proud peacock seemed to be a good fit, Dasha secretly smiled.Unfortunately, there is no going back to the past.

Ah Rou helped him put on the bracelet according to his request, it was a little different from the one he remembered, but he was satisfied.

Early in the morning before leaving, the sky was slightly bright, and Naga brought a few people and a carriage to Longbie Courtyard, without arousing anyone's attention, and prepared to act quietly.Dasha was woken up in his sleep, there was not much in his package, he had packed everything, except for a few clean old clothes that Ah Rou had prepared for him, some dry food, and the wooden stick.

Naga lit everything with a lamp. Fortunately, Hara didn't know about it, but Lianjia knew it. She agreed with the Queen Mother and Naga's approach.Send this person away, Hara will wake up early, this is the best result.

"Okay, let's go early, send him to the Imperial City of Galore, and let him go back to his hometown by himself." Naga ordered in front of the carriage, and the driver who worked on money nodded dully.

Dasha walked to the car door, and he tugged at the corner of Naga's clothes.

"I have something, can you bring it to His Majesty Hara for me..." He kept the bracelet in his hand, and he had prepared it for a long time, just for this moment Tonaga helped him take it.

Naga took the bracelet and glanced at it. It seemed to be a gift from Hara and Fulou when they met for the first time. Naga recognized it. He has no feelings, wake up early.

It's just that Sumo was asked to return the bracelet before Fulou. It's a bit strange why the bracelet is still there.Naga asked tentatively, "Why did you think of returning the bracelet to him?"

"...I, I want to forget him. I can't take this thing. This relationship is over, so I want to return it to him, because I have nothing to give him..." The corner of Dasha's mouth was sour A smile, with a little bit of reluctance, in fact, he knows very well that what he remembers is the time when he was in love with Hara before, not the present.After a pause, he said again: "This is not the bracelet that Haruo gave me. The jailer tore that one off in the prison. He didn't know that the bracelet was also taken away. It should be sold... ...I made this again, let’s treat it as a parting gift, I hope he can forget me, and he will definitely become an excellent monarch in the future.”

Naga was taken aback, a little shocked.Why is this statement completely different from Su Mo's? Sure enough, Su Mo is lying? ... After all, he also believes that Fulou is such an honest person, he is about to leave, and it is impossible to lie... He is a little confused...

While thinking, Dasha had already thanked him and got into the car in a hurry.

Naga was stunned, and at this point, even if it was a misunderstanding, he couldn't clarify it. No, he couldn't think about it any more. Naga hurriedly told the coachman all the important things, and asked someone to hand Dasha a heavy bag of coins. This amount is enough for Dasha to last for a year and a half.

Dasha poked his head out, tears filled his eyes, "Thank you, Naga..."

"En." Naga said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

It was the Queen's intention to send Fulou away, and it was also for Hara's future, but... why did he feel uneasy about his conscience? Naga was holding the bracelet, and his heart was beating faster and faster. Should this thing be given to Hara?

The coachman carried a small paper lantern and walked quietly in the dim light.

Dasha opened the curtain of the carriage and looked back at the hazy palace that was getting farther and farther away from him. It was like a dream. When he finally woke up, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

From now on, everything will be completely over...

……

Looking at the empty room and the neatly folded bedding, Hara slammed the door angrily!

I searched all the courtyards, but I couldn't find him!Hara's eyes opened wide, and he called all the servants of Longbieyuan over. Dozens of people knelt in front of Hara and looked at each other, not knowing what His Highness wanted to do.

"Where are the others?!" Haruo glared at a group of useless people who didn't dare to look up. How could a group of lowly servants lose his people inexplicably? !Hara kicked the servant who was kneeling at the head, "I haven't come for a few days, and he disappeared?!"

He kicked the man back again and again, and continued to shout angrily: "Can people fly away like birds?"

Seeing that something was going to happen, someone cried out, "Your Highness, please forgive me, we really don't know anything..."

Someone immediately echoed: "We, we haven't dealt with him much, we don't even know he's gone..."

They kowtowed again and again, hoping His Highness would appease the anger, but Haruo's face was still angry and flushed. He grabbed the collar of the familiar maid and glared at her.

"Your name is Arou?"

Ah Rou trembled, "Yes, yes..."

Haruo lowered his voice: "Do you often talk to him?"

Ah Rou was terrified, it wasn't her fault that Dasha disappeared, she didn't know anything!

Ah Rou tremblingly said: "Yes, yes...he said, he said he wanted to go home...but I...I..." "...I don't know why he suddenly disappeared..."

Haruo threw her aside: "This is his home, where else does he want to go?!"

Ah Rou's facial features were distorted, and she immediately shrank to the side. She didn't expect His Highness to care so much about Dasha, why didn't she hear Dasha mention it!

The others didn't dare to see His Highness's angry appearance, he was as terrifying as a yaksha, like a god of destruction, and almost set their yard on fire.

"...Today, find him for me." Haruo ordered the accompanying guards.He continued to lose his temper, smashed everything he saw in the yard, and brazenly destroyed everything here in front of other people, making loud noises, trying to find a trace of evidence that Dasha was still here.

But he really disappeared, he wasn't in the room, he wasn't in any corner, and he didn't hide behind a small tree to peek at him, even his tattered cane disappeared without a trace!

At the courtyard door, a familiar voice called him.

"Hara, I have sent him back to Galore."

Looking at the source of the sound, Hara couldn't believe his ears, let alone his eyes.

He sneered and rolled his eyes, "What did you say?"

How is it possible, how much he likes Fulou, his best friend Naga knows it all too well, how could he let him go?

Naga's attitude was calm, his eyes were level, and he did not become nervous because of Hara's anger: "He got into the carriage this morning."

Hara swung his fist, and Naga's cheekbones immediately turned purple, and he almost lost his footing.

"Where is his hometown?" Haruo asked coldly, frowning tightly.

"I didn't ask." Naga was grabbed by his collar and accepted his second punch with his eyes closed.

"Your Highness! Lord Naga!" A few guards behind him started to lose their minds, but they didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

The two have been friends since childhood, and His Royal Highness Haruo is willing to beat someone up. This is a rare scene!It's over if something happens!

Naga was very calm, he raised his hand and rubbed his bruised cheeks, took a deep breath and said, "He will suffer if he stays with you, even if he cheated you and committed a heinous crime, since the royal family has canceled the execution, you can let him go, right? Hara, I set him free. As a commoner, he can live as he likes, and it has nothing to do with you, the prince."

The indifference and disdain he said made Haruo tremble even more.

Unable to believe his own pain, Hara shouted: "How could it have nothing to do with me?!"

"He asked me to give it back to you." Naga took out the bracelet from his bosom, and he stuffed it into Hara's hand, "No matter what you think, he has no feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn't give it back. you."

Hara shook his head vigorously: "Impossible, that bracelet has been destroyed, it's not the one I gave him at all! He asked Sumo to return the bracelet, didn't he? Naga, tell me honestly, yes Didn't you send him away on purpose?! Or was it my mother's intention?"

He knew that his mother wanted him to choose a concubine recently, and she also mentioned to him not to associate with male favorites outside, but he didn't take it to heart at all!

It must be that they teamed up to lie to him and send Fulou away forcibly!Or hide somewhere!

Naga folded his arms, and his tone was still flat: "He is going to leave by himself, I just help him out of kindness. He said he wants to forget you, and he will return this to you after ending this relationship. But this bracelet does You didn’t give it to him, but he remade it. He said that the previous one was torn apart, and the bracelet was also robbed. It must have been taken by Su Mo. So I said it a long time ago, that time Su Mo Mo gave you that bracelet, just saying that to scare you, thinking you would give up."

The body shook uncontrollably, and Hara was speechless, holding the bracelet tightly, his heart was about to burst.

"........."

Naga guessed that he couldn't accept this answer, but this is the fact, since they both love each other again, wouldn't it be better to separate?

"What? No matter what, this time it is Fulou who wants to pay you back. I won't lie to you like Sumo. He really doesn't like you, but he also said that he hopes you will be a good monarch. Tut tut." Naga just wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but Hara opened it with one hand.

Hara's eyes widened, terrified but lifeless.

"...I misunderstood him."

Moreover, he was also lost.

He misunderstood that Dasha and Sumo were together, that he wanted to end everything, but he was so stupid that he would rather believe Sumo's divisive nonsense than his lover's explanation.Now he knew, but it was too late—

This time it's really over.

Naga scratched his head and smiled deliberately, "So what if you misunderstood, you can't be together, and, didn't you say that his previous job was dirty and his life was chaotic? Possibly with him, in case you get sick..."

He was still chattering in Hara's ear, but Hara knocked him away and walked out the door.

Naga sighed, and chased after him helplessly, "Hara, look away earlier."

Haruo clenched his fists tightly: "Where is that child who came to the palace to look for him before?"

After that incident, the child was sent away, and Hara didn't know where he went, and he didn't care.

He suddenly realized that he had listened to too many rumors. How could such a young child come to the royal family to expose Dasha?It is impossible for no one to instigate behind the scenes——

The floating building was not as dirty as he thought, did not betray him to be with others, and did not return Sumo's bracelet to him, and even endured his bullying silently.

no, I can not.

If it's all just a misunderstanding...

Can he still recover?

He never listened to Fulou's explanation, because he was too stupid to trust others, if he had had a good talk with him earlier, would everything have been different?

But now, where did he go?He couldn't find it.

Naga twitched his lips, "What do you want?"

He felt that Hara was messing around again.

Hara stopped and looked back at him coldly, his voice almost froze the air, "...I asked you where is that child?"
