fish man and lady

It's terrible, I only know that I have been treated, his chest is wrapped in a bandage, and the air smells very strong.

He instinctively wanted to leave, but he was still very weak and had no strength at all, probably because he was given anesthesia again?He can't feel any sensation now, only numbness. In this case, he can hardly control his body.

Turning his head with difficulty, he saw the girl sitting on a chair three steps away from the bed.

"You're awake, Mr. Murloc." The girl showed a smile on her slightly worried face, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you feeling alright now?"

Murloc... sir?

He tried several times before sitting up, and he ignored the girl telling him to be careful.After sitting up, I found that the restraints on my hands and feet were gone, but the most terrible collar was still there.

"I'm sorry... Although my father asked you to give me a gift, but my father was worried that I would release the slave, so he didn't give me the key to the collar and the detonator. I have asked my father to remove the bracelet and shackles , This kind of freedom is the limit I won from my father. By the way, Mr. Murloc, please don’t try to escape, you will really die.” The girl’s expression gradually became forbearing, and she became serious, “The power of explosives has already Strengthened, Mr. Murloc, no matter how strong your body is, it is useless, and it seems that you don't have any domineering weapons, right?"

"Are you going to be a slave for the rest of your life? Uh!" There was a sharp pain in the place where there was a branded mark. It seemed that the effect of the anesthetic was about to pass.

"If... Mr. Murloc, if you want to escape, please take care of your body first. For this... please use me first." The girl stood up, and Tiger realized that she was very thin and looked like an immature She is a girl, but her temperament is very calm. Although the belt she wears looks luxurious, it is indeed obviously different from those Tianlong people.The long blond hair hangs loose, like a waterfall streaming with sunlight, and the eyes are the most vibrant and gentle emerald green. The whole person looks like an exquisite garden bathed in bright sunlight.

No matter how you look at her, she is just like a kind-hearted lady who doesn't understand human affairs from a wealthy family.Coupled with the words she used to himself and the apology before, it was completely impossible for him to associate the girl in front of him with the word Tianlongren.

"I will go and tell my father that you are very obedient. I like this gift very much. I hope I can keep it for a long time. You just need to have a good rest now, and someone will deliver food in a while. Also, please don't be angry, when you arrive I apologize to you for everything I have encountered so far.” The girl bent slightly towards him, her noble upbringing made her unable to bend any further, “I found your bag for you, it’s right next to you, you can After you get out of bed, you can check to see if there are any missing, and if there are any missing, I will send someone to help you get them back."

Tiger looked over, and it was indeed his bag. The contents inside were the same as before he passed out, and nothing was missing.

"……thanks."

"You're welcome. What's more important now is your body, please be sure to rest well." The girl turned to leave, but when she reached the door, she stopped suddenly, turned her head and said, "By the way, Mr. Murloc, my name is Victoria. Elizabeth."

"Fisher Tiger."

"Fisher...Tiger. Hmm! I see." She laughed, probably the first smile he showed on her face from the beginning to now, it seemed to be a smile from the heart, but But Tiger didn't know what she was happy about.

It was much later that he learned the truth.

At that time, Elizabeth was only happy because he told her his name without any humility, "Mr. Tiger, you are different from anyone I have ever met. In your eyes, I am just a human named Elizabeth. You are not a master, you are just yourself, not a slave, and more importantly...you did not choose to obey fate, but acted and said things according to your own ideas. To be honest, I envy you..."

An almost inaudible sigh followed.

The medicines sent by Elizabeth are very effective (probably made of some precious medicinal materials), and the murlocs are in good health. After only resting for a week, Tiger felt that nothing was wrong and he could get out of bed and walk freely. up.

During this period of time, that girl, his nominal "master" Elizabeth, did not appear, and there were only two kinds of people who would come to his room:

[-]. A neatly dressed servant who looks like a doll.

[-]. A doctor in a white coat who looks at him like a dead thing.

The servants who came to deliver the things did not say a word, they put down the things or took them and left. Occasionally, they would repeat Elizabeth’s words a few times, but they were all without any emotion. It was really like he was touching a shop window before. I've seen it before, a doll without emotion.And the doctor is here to complete the task. Although it can't be said that he has a bad attitude, he naturally doesn't have a good temper.

This is the life of being raised. Although he knows that his situation is considered a blessing in misfortune, and he knows that there are more people living miserable lives that ordinary people can't imagine, but he is still very irritable and difficult to calm down.

To pass the time, he started reading.

There is a large bookcase in the room, and it is full of books, many of which are related to adventure, all neat as new, exuding a faint fragrance of ink.

If it was normal, he would probably be happy to read book by book, but now, it feels like a great irony, which makes him feel humiliated and angry, and he vents on the book in his hand.

"Mr. Murloc, don't you like these books? I'm sorry, I thought you would like them." The door was opened at this time, and the girl who hadn't appeared for more than two weeks walked in, looking at the book with no expression on her face. The book that fell in the corner, bent down to pick it up, carefully brushed off the dust and smoothed the folds that did not exist. "Mr. Murloc, what kind of books do you like? I will go to the study to look for them in a while. If there are any, I can ask someone to bring them to you before tonight. If not, I will ask the servant to buy them. It will be the day after tomorrow at the latest. was sent."

Waiting for Elizabeth to put the book back on the shelf without any mistakes, and when he looked at him blankly, Tiger finally couldn't suppress his anger, and shouted at the girl: "What is the reason for arresting me here?" for what!"

"My father took you as a birthday present to me, because some time ago I said that I wanted to know more outside stories. I'm really sorry, I thought my father would send a lot of books like before, but I didn't expect my father to Bring you to me." Elizabeth could hear his anger, but she wasn't scared, she just explained calmly and made some useless apologies. "Because I have never left the Holy Land since I was born, but I am curious about the outside..."

Hearing the other party's explanation, Tiger was stunned, "Have you never gone out?"

Elizabeth nodded helplessly.

"No way, as you can see, my body is too weak, my physical strength is not enough, and..." And she is only the child of my father's concubine, even if she is the only child of my father, if she always goes out, she will be gossiped , staying at home quietly, learning all the lessons perfectly, and being able to make father proud at the banquet is enough.Of course, in a strict aristocratic way, she couldn't tell any of her servants and slaves what she was saying, "And I have a reason why I can't go out."

But that's not what the books in the cabinet said, right?They kept saying: want to go out, want to go out.

It seems that he is not the only one locked up here, this girl is also.Compared with herself, Elizabeth was just locked in a golden cage that was more delicate and difficult to escape.

"...Want to hear a story, right? Then I'll tell you everything I've seen and heard."

Take it as repayment.

"really?"

Tiger didn't expect her to be so happy, and this was probably the loudest and most excited time for her to speak.

"Yes, what kind of story do you want to hear?"

"Anything is fine. Whether it's an adventure story or something else, I'm curious~ It's very interesting. Ah, that...that, if you can, please don't tell ghost stories, only this is a bit..." Elizabeth's expression Suddenly he became a little embarrassed, rubbing his hands on the surface of his skirt, and the smooth fabric wrinkled after a while, "Although I know it's fake, but... I just can't do anything about this kind of story..."

This is the same as children.

Tiger remembers telling a ghost story to the children in Murloc Street once. At night, he would walk around the street to catch water ghosts that the children ate. This scared the group of little ghosts from walking at night for several months. This made him very satisfied, because it saved a lot of effort to catch the children who went out at night. You must know that the group of little ghosts are full of energy and headaches.

"I see, I don't tell ghost stories." Tiger promised.

Elizabeth, who heard this sentence, was really relieved. It seemed that she was really afraid of this.

Tiger was suddenly a little curious, how would she react after hearing the ghost story? She was also trembling with fright?cry?Don't dare to walk at night?Well, it shouldn't be, I can't imagine her trembling and crying, and there is no night road here to tell her to go, and Elizabeth doesn't look like a child who can swim at night, so she doesn't have that chance.

Anyway... tell her a story first.

"Then let's start with a recent trip."

Elizabeth was soon
