Did the witch get her wish today?

The other party obviously didn't expect her to make such a move, and was stunned in a rare way.

The distance between Lilium and him was really close, and she could clearly see even the subtle movements of loosening her brows because of her daze.

Feeling... a little cute?

But this situation lasted for a second or two.

"Finally woke up, bastard?"

The dark red mark on the man's face was extremely conspicuous under the moonlight, and the girl realized that her fingertips were covered with blood.And Gilgamesh put one hand around her waist and the other hand grabbed her shoulders, and she even felt the other arm was pressing against someone's firm belly.

"I...?! What happened?"

Lilium trembled like an electric shock, and quickly stretched out her hand in front of her eyes.

Judging from the bloody fingers and unhealed nails, something had happened.

"You suddenly fell on the floor and convulsed just now."

Gilgamesh let go of the hands holding the girl, and the heat left her.

"I'm afraid your hand was scratched while scratching the floor, Lilium, are you having a nightmare?"

The girl swallowed, she couldn't remember what she saw in the dream, and the more she tried to remember, the more her mind became confused.

The split nail had begun to heal, leaving only red blood.

I also know that it should not be a good dream.

The donkey cart that had stopped started again, and seeing that Lilium couldn't answer, Gilgamesh didn't continue to ask.

"Just now... I'm sorry."

The man leaning on the railing glanced at her: "It's okay."

His expression was still so calm. Seeing the blood on the other party's face, Lilium felt even more guilty. She turned around and found a cloth towel to soak some water in, trying to remedy it.

"That..." She took a wet cloth and moved closer to him, "You have blood on your face."

At least when they arrived at the capital, Siduri couldn't see anything.

"..."

Gilgamesh looked at her for a while, closed his eyes, and turned his head slightly.

Lilium's hands had been wiped clean, and her pale fingertips looked a little creepy under the moonlight.She exhaled slowly, and pressed the cloth towel on the blood-stained place.

The car was quiet, the wooden wheels crunching against the gravel.

The blood on the man's face was a little dry, and it was not easy to wipe it off. Lilium didn't dare to use force, so she could only turn around and soak the cloth in the water again.

For some reason, she felt her heart beating a little faster.

He went out today, and as always, he only wore a short jacket on his upper body that couldn't even cover his waist, and a pair of red trousers on his lower body that were ventilating no matter what.

Usually, I don't think there is anything wrong with this outfit, but when I think of the posture of the two just now, Lilium feels that something is wrong all over her body, and her eyes are only fixed on the cloth in her hand or the bloodstain that is an eyesore, and she will never look down. Move one degree.

After soaking for the second time, the blood stains were finally wiped clean.It's just that after the girl wiped it with a little force, a few drops of water disobediently overflowed from the wet cloth, and slid down the man's cheeks to his well-defined chin.

Reflexively, she stretched out her fingers, and gently stroked along the sharp jaw line, taking away the excess water droplets.

!!!

At the same time that pair of red eyes looked at her again, Lilium was also very annoyed by her reckless behavior a second ago.

What am I doing? !

While wishing to punch her disobedient hand twice, the girl blinked and twitched the corners of her mouth at a certain king sitting in front of her.

However, this time Gilgamesh obviously does not intend to settle down.

He sneered, put one hand on his raised leg, put his fist on his cheek, and looked at her casually: "Why are you nervous, this king won't eat you."

... Isn't this because I'm afraid of making you angry!

Feeling a little unhappy in her heart, the girl squeezed the wet cloth in her hand tightly, and the water dripped down her hand.She subconsciously wanted to lower her head, but as soon as her eyes moved down, someone's abs with no trace of fat and beautiful lines inevitably appeared in her field of vision.

Uh……!

She felt like she had been hit with a hammer in the brain, and the tiny details that she hadn't noticed when she woke up just rushed out.

The heat of the skin touching, the imprisoned strength around the shoulders and waist, and even the faint fragrance of the other person...

The water in her hand was chilly, but the surrounding area became hot, and the girl even began to feel a little thirsty.

The sound of the donkey's pattering footsteps disappeared, as did the creaking sound of the wheels rolling across the road. Lilium only felt that the world was spinning before her eyes, her breathing became a little difficult, and there was a wonderful rhythmic drumbeat in her ears.

"Boom tom" "Boom tom" "Boom tom"

There was a sudden pain of being pulled on the cheek, and the girl suddenly recovered, and saw the blond man in front of him frowning and stretching out his hand, looking at her dissatisfied.

"Have you recovered?"

Tat for tat, and now she was replaced by the "molest" person.

"Well……"

Seeing Gilgamesh retracting his arm mercifully, Lily bit her lip and rubbed her sore cheek with her hand.

"I... I'm not nervous."

"Humph."

The other party didn't reply, but this understatement "huh" has already shown his attitude.

... If you don't believe it, don't believe it!

But after such nonsense, although the atmosphere is still awkward, the feeling of flustered after waking up from the dream has eased a lot.

The two of them had their own concerns, and they returned to Uruk smoothly at dawn.

"King, welcome back."

The carriage just stopped at the gate of the city, facing the rising sun, the priestess in green slowly walked towards them.

"Is everything going well?"

"Ah, just stick to the plan. By the way—" Gilgamesh jumped out of the cart and turned sideways, pointing to Lilium who was still sitting beside the donkey cart. "There was a little episode on the road, you take good care of her."

"Eh?"

Before the other party asked, he strode the others out of the city gate, leaving two weak women staring at each other.

"Lilium, what happened?"

Siduri came to the side of the car and sat side by side with the white-haired girl.

Sensing the faint coolness on the woman's body, Lily pursed her lips, and reached out to cover the other's hand on her knee.

cold...

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

The woman's wheat-colored skin made the girl's hand even more colorless, but she turned to wrap that weak and boneless hand without hesitation.

"Fortunately, after all, the king also said that he will be back soon."

As she spoke, she gently stroked the girl's fingertips: "Lily...are you dreaming?"

Siduri's hands were different from her own, with thick calluses on the pads of her fingers, which felt a bit hard to the touch.Finally, Lilium couldn't maintain her calm mask any longer, she pressed her lips together tightly, and nodded.

She once had a specious dream the night before Gilgamesh's return and the night before Enkidu's death.Although I don't remember what the content is after waking up, but the feelings remain in my heart.

This time, however, it was a little different. Instead, the boat and car incident and the oolong incident reminded her of something.

In the endless black waves, the red light that was facing him was like the eyes of some creature.

Gilgamesh's attitude also adds to that sense of unease.

Whether it is the monitoring tower located in the bay, the fully functional and advanced city-state concept, or the defense line that is so strong that it does not seem to be used to resist human enemies, it all reflects the builder's good intentions.

I heard that the returning virtuous king has the ability to see through the future... What kind of future would be worth his efforts to renovate the city where everyone lives, and even laying down so many lines of defense and hoarding a large amount of supplies?

My heart seemed to be suspended in the air, and I couldn't find anything to rely on in panic.Lilium sniffed, stretched out her arms, and embraced the woman in green in front of her.

Siduri's clothes were still damp with dew, but her body was warm.

She subconsciously rubbed against the other's neck, the tip of her nose lingered with the faint fragrance of flowers and fruits from the other's body, and a figure suddenly flashed in her mind.

That person also had a scent on him, but it was different from Siduri, it was more gloomy, like a woody scent, with a hint of beauty.

... no, no!

Why do such insignificant things still appear in my mind at this time!

"What's wrong Lily?"

She could feel Siduri patting herself on the back, her tone was like coaxing a child,

"You're probably just tired."

"Just a little rest and you'll be fine."

"……Um."

The king's city-state construction plan was still in full swing, and Lilium took a day off before devoting herself to her dedication again.

However, the sequelae were also very serious. For at least ten days, when she saw Gilgamesh, she would have a feeling of claws scratching her heart.In short, I just wanted to turn around and run away, and in the end I didn't even talk to him much.

The nightmare seems to have become a small episode. After all, Uruk has been peaceful since then, and no special disasters have occurred in the neighboring city-states.

But this situation did not last long. After the Gulf Monitoring Tower successfully started operation, the Mesopotamian Plains' mutation occurred.

"Big... big things are not good! King! A large number of monsters suddenly appeared in the Northland!"

"Goddess! The god Tiamat has appeared! She is leading the monsters to attack the northern cities!"

"It's not good! A dense forest suddenly appeared in the south! And... there are flying dragons!"

"King! God Tiamat captured the northern city, and... still said..."

Facing the ashen-faced subordinates galloping into the palace, the blond man sat on the throne as usual: "What did you say?"

"They 'Alliance of the Three Goddesses' will definitely kill the king of this era and take the Holy Grail into their hands!"

It is self-evident who the "king of this age" refers to.

For a moment, the officials in the hall showed horror.Some people loudly asked who the "Three Goddess Alliance" was, and some shouted the name of Gilgamesh, asking the king to send troops to retake the Northland as soon as possible. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a pale face.

While being caught off guard by the monster's raid, a piece of more troublesome news also came.

"You said Kuza lost contact with the king?"

"Yes!" The soldier who sent the order was sweating profusely. "Originally, the intelligence department would receive regular contact from Kusa City, but... But since the arrival of the three goddesses, we have not received any more messages from the other party."

"The guards stationed there also...have not returned."

Even though he was overwhelmed by the battle report of the monster attack, the King of Gold still picked out a team of investigators in his busy schedule and ordered them to go to Kusa to investigate the situation.

The leader was none other than Lilium, who had been treated with respect by the city god there.

The girl did not refuse, and quickly led the members on the road to Kusa.

Avoiding the main road that is prone to herds of beasts, the investigation team traveled day and night, and it didn't take long to arrive at the lost city.

But the scene there shocked everyone.

There is no trace of destruction in the city, not even a drop of blood, not a broken body.The people who used to live here died at the same time in their sleep.

The accompanying doctors checked the bodies of several people and also checked the local water sources, but found no toxins.

And Lilium, who is more sensitive to magic, can only feel a little fleeting and wonderful fluctuation of magic power from these peaceful corpses.

She couldn't tell what it was exactly, but she could only make sure that there was no malice.

They failed to conduct a long-term investigation, and before the monsters noticed the movement and attacked Kuza, the group rushed back to Uruk.

However, this time, it was not Gilgamesh who was surrounded by clay dignitaries in the hall waiting for everyone to return.

"Hey, is this the beautiful lady in the rumors?"

Standing next to Siduri, a handsome young man with white hair and a long stick in his hand greeted Lilium with a smile.

"Hello, lovely Miss Lily, I'm Merlin. People call me the Magician of Flowers. You're welcome to call me Merlin."

As he said that, the arc of his mouth widened a bit: "Of course, it would be even better if you could call me 'Master'!"

"……what?"

Who is it?
