The most beautiful elves save the world

After reading the letter in Roy's room, Xiquan didn't see Roy until the night before departure.

I heard from Sasha that the candidates for the envoy to Denia will be selected by Roy, and the gifts brought will also be reviewed by Roy, so he has been very busy recently.

In reality, there is nothing to prepare for Xiquan, but you need to adjust your mentality - there is only a plain between Toust and the Fairy Zong Forest. Although Xiquan has never been to Toust before, I have heard a lot from my partners Toust's customs, he is no stranger to Toust.

Denia is a completely unfamiliar country to Xiquan. Before going far away, Xiquan went to Roy's study to find a few books about Denia. After finishing the book, he ran to the gate of the palace.

The mission consisted of ten ministers, 20 soldiers and five spirits. There were more than [-] carriages loaded with gifts and food. To Xiquan's surprise, Lily Lan was also among the spirits on the mission. A horse was at the forefront of the procession, giving Xiquan a playful sideways glance.

Xiquan didn't see Lu and Roy, so he stopped in front of Linglan and asked, "Isn't Lu coming?"

Ling Lan didn't seem to want to talk to Xiquan, so she covered half of her face with her sleeve and yawned.

Xiquan: "..."

Lily's temper is very weird, when she is in a good mood, she will take the initiative to talk to him, and when she is in a bad mood, just like now, she ignores him.

Xiquan bumped against the wall with Lily of the Valley many times, and got used to it. He searched around in the queue with his book in his arms, and found a horse that was not ridden.

A soldier stopped him, supported a carriage in the middle of the line, and said, "Your Excellency, you want to take that carriage."

Ling Lan immediately sneered.

Xiquan was embarrassed—compared to Lu and Lily, he really didn't seem very useful.

Although he specially asked the head of the guard to teach him equestrian skills, but he only learned a little superficially, and it was difficult for him to travel long distances. If he insisted on riding a horse, he might even cause trouble for the mission.

He had no choice but to walk towards the carriage pointed by the soldier against the eyes of everyone.

A soldier guarding outside the carriage opened the door. Xiquan grabbed the handrail and was about to go up when he saw Roy, who was sleeping in the carriage, and froze.

"Your Excellency?" the soldier asked behind him.

Xiquan turned around and asked softly, "Are you sure it's this carriage?"

The soldier replied: "His Highness personally ordered."

"..."

Xiquan was conflicted. He hoped to spend as much time with Roy as possible, but on the other hand, he was worried that he would be embarrassed by what happened that day.

The mission was waiting to leave, and he didn't dare to waste time. After a deadlock for two or three seconds, he got into the carriage and turned around to close the door.

This carriage is much more spacious than the carriage that I attended the wedding banquet last time. The seats are very soft. If you are sleepy during the journey, you can lie down and rest. There is a small table in the middle for putting some food.

Xiquan had never seen Roy resting during the day, so he was worried about waking him up, sat down very gently, and put the book in his hand on the table.

The spine of the book touched the teapot on the table, making a slight sound. He hurriedly moved the book back, but caught a glimpse of the person on the opposite side moving. When he looked up, Roy had already opened his eyes.

"Sorry I woke you up."

Roy looked tired, pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand,

Xiquan got up guiltily: "Will I bother you here? Otherwise, I will change to a carriage?"

"No." Roy said, "I'm just taking a break."

Xiquan stood halfway, and after hearing what he said, he sat back obediently: "If you are tired, you can continue to rest, I will be very quiet."

The convoy moved slowly, and the carriages of Xiquan and Roy also started.

Roy was noncommittal, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Xiquan, swept the corner of the book exposed in his arms, and said, ""Denia Style Appreciation"?"

Xiquan asked, "Have you seen it?"

Roy said, "I haven't finished watching."

"How many chapters have you read?"

"After watching Denia's table manners."

"Me too!" Xiquan suggested: "Let's watch it together?" After he finished speaking, he felt inappropriate: "Oh yes, you are very tired, so how about I read to you?"

"Okay." Roy agreed in a good mood.

Encouraged by Roy's attitude, Xiquan quickly opened the book, turned to the next chapter on table manners, and read the title: "Marriage and Love Customs in Denia."

Roy gave a "hmm" and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Xiquan continued: "Denia's folk customs are more open than those of the neighboring kingdoms. Every year, a seven-day 'Rose Ball' is held in the country. Unmarried men and women across the country can voluntarily participate and choose a dance partner at the ball.

"If a person chooses the same person as his dance partner for two consecutive days in seven days, it means that he has a good impression of the other party; if he chooses the same dance partner for four consecutive days, it is regarded as a signal of a strong desire for further communication to the other party; If two people choose each other for seven consecutive days, they usually go to register for marriage after the 'Rose Ball' is over."

After reading this, Xiquan asked: "Is there such a festival in Toust?"

Roy said, "Not yet. Do you like festivals like this?"

"It's very interesting, and it can also provide opportunities for unmarried men and women in China to get acquainted." Xiquan commented.

He continued to read: "The married couples met at the 'Rose Ball' lived happily ever after. According to statistics, the divorce rates of same-sex and opposite-sex families formed by the 'Rose Ball' are far lower than the national average. .”

Xiquan wondered: "Same-sex family is..." Is that what he meant?

Roy put the teacup back on the table and said calmly: "Same-sex marriages are prevalent in Denia, and it is very common for both husband and wife to be of the same sex."

Xiquan asked with an attitude of seeking knowledge: "What about in Toust?"

"It's rare in Toust, but it does exist."

"That's it..." Xiquan suddenly felt that a barrier between him and Roy had collapsed.

He couldn't help but began to wonder if there were such things among the elves, but he never noticed it.

Just as he was thinking, his gaze moved down, and he glanced at the illustration below inadvertently. At a glance, he saw a pair of apparently male couple hugging and kissing in the lower right corner of the color illustration. On the right page was a list of birth songs A love poem at the "Rose Ball", and the suitor and the pursued mentioned in the poem happen to be men.

The folk customs of Denia are indeed unrestrained. Xiquan glanced at it roughly. Although he lacks knowledge in this field, he still saw a strong sexual metaphor in it, and closed the book with a swipe. , Secretly speechless.

Roy was attracted by his actions and asked, "Why don't you read it?"

"The rest are very boring." Xiquan said trying to cover up.

Roy raised his eyebrows and reached out to him.

Xiquan: "..."

He brought the book from Roy's study, and there was no reason not to show it to others, so he had to pass the book to Roy.

Roy turned to the page that Xiquan had just read, and quickly understood the reason why he didn't read any further. He read the love poem that Xiquan didn't dare to read without changing his expression, and then commented: " The emotion is abundant, but the rhymes and words are relatively rough, and the penetrating power is not strong enough."

Xiquan's face became hot when he heard it, and now he could only nod in agreement with what Roy said. He really couldn't figure out why Roy could read out those verses with a little bit of sex in a serious manner, and still have the heart to comment? ?

"What do you think?" Roy asked.

"What?" Xiquan met Roy's gaze, then looked away uncomfortably, and prevaricated, "I don't know much about human poetry."

Roy said, "I'm not talking about poetry."

Xiquan was startled: "What is that?"

"Gay marriage."

A thread of thought flashed by before he could think about it, and Xiquan couldn't tell whether Roy was testing him with his own situation, or simply started chatting on existing topics, and stumbled and said, "I, I don't understand human beings either. marriage."

"Aren't there gay people among elves?"

In the past, Xiquan would definitely say no, but now he is not sure, hesitantly said: "Maybe there is?"

Probably seeing Xiquan's embarrassment, Roy didn't ask any more questions, and put the book on the small table.

Xiquan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the table.

Roy noticed his small movements and said considerately: "If you want to continue reading, you don't have to read it to me."

Xiquan quickly waved his hand: "No, I don't want to read it either. I've been reading for several days in a row, so I just need to take a rest."

Roy gave an "um" with a half-smile.

To Roy, the conversation just now seemed to be just a harmless little joke, so he dismissed it casually, and chatted with Xiquan for a few more words, then he closed his eyes and continued to rest.

At first, Xiquan still maintained the posture of looking out of the window, but Roy's sense of presence was so strong that it was difficult for anyone to ignore him when they were in the same room with him.

After a while, Xiquan's eyes began to wander around, and finally fell on Roy calmly.

Roy has a well-shaped figure, and even when he is resting, his shoulders do not slump.

Roy, who was silent, exuded a cold and mysterious aura. He was clearly in the same carriage, but Xiquan had the illusion that the air on Roy's side was colder and heavier, but it was only an arm's length away. It seems that there is a natural moat, and it seems that there is another country just one step away.

Xiquan liked Roy's dark and deep eyes very much, as well as his fine black hair. It was the first time he seriously considered his feelings for Roy when he was in a trance.

Although he felt very nervous every time he talked to Roy, and was often led away by Roy's few words, as if his heart was being pinched by someone, but every time he finished talking to Roy, he couldn't help but think about Roy. Yi's every expression and movement when talking to him, and then... some kind of emotion between joy and timidity welled up from the bottom of my heart.

Do you like it?

Xiquan has never liked anyone, so he can't tell the direction of this emotion.

"Do you have something to say?" Roy opened his eyes helplessly. He originally wanted to take a rest, but Xiquan's eyes were too hot, and he ignored the fabric even if he wanted to.

Xiquan was startled, peeping was discovered?

He said in a hurry, "Yes!"

Roy lowered his eyes and motioned him to continue. Xiquan licked his lower lip and said, "I, I think, you seem to be very tired, do you need my blessing?"
