Moonlight Love Poem

The crown prince named Archibald walked in front of me, and I realized that he was wearing a dark purple cloak. The sound of deep and light footsteps fell on the ground. The corridor was already empty, but now it was even more It seemed silent.He stopped and muttered something in a low voice.

"...?" I watched him turn his head, the dim light of the candlelight covered his side face, and his hair was as thick as a dark cloud, just like the night sky.

"Your Excellency," he said, "I seem to have dropped something over there."

His eyes fell behind me, the hallway was empty, all he could see was the dark corner where we had come.

"I'll go with you." Although I don't know if this is his excuse, but it is impossible to let him go back alone, in case something is discovered, Brian said that when the potion takes effect, those people will Constantly glowing red.

Archibald shook his head.

"Don't bother you." He stretched out his right hand and showed me his five fingers.

I stared at his fingers, thinking that I didn't drop any of them.Why is he showing me this?

Probably seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, he hummed a little puzzled, withdrew his hand, and asked me to show him my hand.

Not knowing what he was doing, I stretched out my hands as he said. While he was observing, I also lowered my head and observed carefully, and there was nothing different from him.

As I was thinking, a strand of silver hair fell from my ear, covering my hands.

Because I came out of the bedroom for an extra check, I didn’t retie my hair. When I lowered my head, my hair inevitably fell. The originally empty field of vision was blocked by my hair. I subconsciously reached out and stroked my hair again. Behind the ear, after this movement, Archibald on the opposite side also raised his head again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He laughed, as if a little discouraged.

"It turns out that the nobles of the Rose Empire don't need to wear engagement rings."

Me: "Of course you have to wear a ring when you get married, but I don't have a marriage contract. Most nobles need it."

Archibald was silent for a while, and he said: "Why? A nobleman like Your Excellency Qiangwei, shouldn't everyone want to enter into a marriage contract with you? You should be predestined from birth."

He was right. My parents made a few engagements for me at the beginning, but I rejected them all because I didn’t have that kind of thinking. Of course, a real nobleman’s status is not secure only by marriage. For this reason, my father once threatened me to throw me to the snowland if I didn't get engaged and married, so the current situation is that I have seen the snow in the snowland for three years.I don't think there is any real happiness in marriage.

The elder brother was assigned to the crown prince, but that guy was so vile that his father broke off the engagement within a month of his death.In fact, if the marriage contract with the royal family is replaced by Auston, even if it is a marriage, my brother will live happily.

But there is no need to talk to him so much about this kind of thing. I replied vaguely: "It's just that I haven't met anyone who can make me willing to be imprisoned."

"I really envy you." Archibald smiled, but the smile was a little dangerous. "If it were me, even if I didn't meet that person, I would have to make a marriage contract with a dozen people I don't know."

I was startled by the number he said at first, and then I remembered that the person in front of me was the future emperor of a neighboring country, and it is not surprising that there are many harems... However, a dozen or so is really too much.

"Does your Excellency think so too?" Archibald asked me, and I realized that I had unknowingly expressed what was in my heart just now.

I hummed in embarrassment, but fortunately he didn't say anything about it.He silently looked at his empty right hand, and suddenly said: "Your Excellency, you want to accompany me to find the engagement ring?"

You obviously didn't agree with me just now, but did you change your mind after chatting with him for a while?

I nodded cautiously, watched Archibald walk past me to the original place, and hurriedly followed.

But it was said that the ring was lost, and Archibald didn't lower his head to check it at all along the way. He straightened his back, kept his eyes straight, and walked straight forward, as if he knew where the thing was.

...Wait, he couldn't be lying to me, right? How come there are only one ring for a dozen engagements?

"Your Excellency Qiangwei. Fortunately, you were born in the Rose Empire. If you were in the Eagle Empire, I'm afraid you will become the common wife of the upper-class nobles of the entire empire." Archibald's footsteps remained the same, his tone was relaxed, but the malice in it could not tolerate me. Neglect, I frowned, and didn't want to discuss such meaningless things with him.

"Eagle Empire also has a shining black crystal beauty. Her charm is so strong that it can compete with the sun. No one who has seen her does not love her. They say it is a miracle of God. If they can kiss this The fingertips of a black crystal beauty, it must be something that can be remembered for a lifetime."

"The black crystal beauty does not have a noble background. She can live safely and beautifully thanks to a big man and a nobleman. No one dares to covet the property of a great nobleman. So she is safe." Archibald paused, Continued his narration, "It's just that no matter how beautiful a beauty is, there will always be a day of aging. The nobles no longer love that beauty, and the beauty with signs of aging has lost its charm. He no longer needs to protect her, so Black Crystal became a nobleman. wife, and the children she left behind were also arranged dozens of marriage contracts by the nobles."

I realize that the protagonist of this story may have a lot to do with Archibald in front of me. I am not interested in the secrets of the royal family of the neighboring country, and intend to stop: "Please don't..."

"Do you know why I only have one ring?" Archibald stopped. He turned around and looked down at me. After a while, he bent down and got closer.

We were so close that I could even feel his warm breath.

His eyes were so purple that they were almost black, and it was inevitable that he would feel oppressive when staring at people with no expression on his face.

"...Because they all belong to the same family. All unmarried people in that family, whether male or female, are all my future wives, just because their family is a famous beauty family in the empire. I understand. Is it? Ansair, the most beautiful in the Rose Empire." His mouth opened and closed.

"Stop looking at me with your blue eyes, deliberate seduction is not an aristocratic act."

My brain was dazzled by the huge amount of information, so that when I came back to my senses, my first reaction was to grab his cloak.

"wait--"
