Chapter 258 111. Siblings
“We are in trouble.”
The first thing Annan did when he woke up in the morning was to open the portal. He was still sleepy, and Olmedo was already sitting in the city lord's palace and starting the day's affairs.
“Laila was not in the team, she ran out early...”
“I also want to say...” Annan sighed: “Dela and the guard captain said that Laila Sneaked in last night..."
"Did you see her?"
"That's the problem, I didn't see her."
"You think she found out..." Olmedo stopped talking.
"I don't know, but it's very possible..."
Olmedo continued not to speak, looking out the window on Annan's side. After he stood up and checked out the window to make sure there was no eavesdropping, he said: "It's nothing if you are discovered... Your Xingyue Bay is almost the same as a small city-state, and your power has made many nobles no longer regard your title as vanity. As long as The Reeves family is not stupid, at this time they will only maintain the relationship instead of breaking it up."
Annan shook his head: "You have no family and don't know the importance of family ties..."
After finishing speaking, Olmedo stopped talking.
“Did I say the wrong thing?”
One morning when Olmedo was unhappy, Annan went out after washing. Walking on the sunflower path, he found Della following behind wearing a cloak.
“Aren’t you going to the dungeon?”
"There are more important things around you."
Annan asked: "Are you worried that Leila will hurt me? Don't worry, she won't do that..."
"The premise is that you He’s her brother.”
Annan fell into the same silence as Olmedo, and did not refuse Dela’s following.
First came to the cave to release the white dragon. The white dragon that used to rush to the sea as soon as he came out was hovering uneasily around Della today.
"She is not an outsider."
Annan comforted the restless Bailong and asked Dai La not to stay too far away from him, lest these white dragons who wanted to take a bite of everything would also take a bite of her.
The lingering white dragons dotted the sky. Annan took off his boots and followed the white dragons playing along the beach, thinking that the beach would be whiter and the sea bluer...
The cheers suddenly started from The call came from a distance, distant and familiar. Annan looked around and saw a small wooden boat floating in the shallow sea, and a girl standing on the boat.
"Leila?" Annan lost his voice.
The waves hit the wooden boat and ran aground. Leila jumped out of the boat, holding a big fish about the same size as herself with joy.
"Why are you here..."
A surprised Annan came to Leila's side. The happy Leila's eyes were filled with tears and she raised the fish: "Little Annan, look at me What did you catch!”
Annan continued to worry and relax all morning. It's not logical to run to Xingyue Bay and play on the beach, but it's entirely possible for it to happen to Leila.
My eyes turned to the big fish held by Dara. It was at least 50 pounds. Since the port was built and sailing fishing boats entered the sea, it has become a matter of luck to catch such a big fish in the bay.
"It's so big -"
The sea fish suddenly struggled and swung its body, and the jumping tail slapped Annan's cheek, and then the world spun around - when he woke up again, Annan was lying in the bedroom, with a mask on his face. Layla, Dela and Ingrid gathered around the bed wearing towels, while Martin, who was hiding in the distance, stuck a beard on his face.
"What's going on..."
Annan felt that his cheeks hurt and felt cold, and wasn't he on the beach just now?
“You were knocked unconscious by a fish.” Ingrid said expressionlessly.
With the narration, Annan recovered his memory, and he said solemnly: "That fish seems to be not simple..."
"It was just an ordinary fish..."
"No... How could any fish recognize me and attack me? "
"It was just an accident. The fish had been slaughtered and was being grilled in the kitchen." "I don't admit it!" Annan said loudly. Let our crew be careful, the sea tribe may be testing us!”
"Okay, Lom's special honey is gone."
"I'll ask him for it later."
But in the early morning, I seemed to have said something like she didn't have a father...
Annan turned his head and looked at Leila who looked like she was in trouble. Just as he was about to reminisce with his second sister, Urmit came to the lord's mansion to visit Annan:
"I heard that you were raped. A fish was knocked unconscious.”
"That was a spy from the Sea Clan." Annan said solemnly.
"The Sea Tribe actually attacked the lords of Xingyue Bay... Do they want to provoke a dispute with the human race?" Leila whispered cooperatively.
Urmit looked at Leila's black hair in surprise.
"My sister, Leila." Annan said.
Urmit greeted her and told her why he came: "My people have completed their training and it's time to go back."
"The New Initial will arrive in Louis City in two days. You can disembark from there." Ingrid said.
The Rat Man cannot move as fast as the ship. At this time, Louis City is safe, but they have to find a way to return to the Violet Kingdom.
Then Ulmit told the real purpose of his coming: "Brother Annan, I want some white dragons..."
"They only listen to me for the time being. In the future, I will I can give you some white dragon cubs.”
“Hahaha, then I’ll thank the King of the North for the gift first!” Ulmit said happily, finishing Farias’ explanation. The matter left.
Ingrid said that the earl had recently been obsessed with playing cards in a tavern and hanging out with a group of mercenaries and civilians.
"How do you feel?" Leila asked him.
“It’s like I’ve been lost for a while. I closed my eyes and then opened them again and I’m lying here...”
“It’s all because you were too close!” Don’t even think about hearing it from Leila. I got an apology.
In fact, it was nothing. The healing technique could cure all diseases. After the milky white light dissipated, Annan's swollen cheek returned to its original state.
"Shall I take you for a walk outside?" Annan asked Leila.
"Okay."
First I asked for some honey from Olmedo, let her see Leila here, and let Leila taste the "Xingyue Bay Honey" that I invented myself. "Grilled fish with sauce." Annan took his second sister out, from morning to evening, from the port to the industrial area, and finally in the quiet coastal streets blowing the sea breeze and looking at the rose-red sunset.
“The Guards Captain said you arrived last night, why didn’t you come to see me?”
“It was already night when I arrived, and you were sleeping, so I had to go outside to look for you first. A hotel.”
Leila leaned against the guardrail, her delicate cheeks stained by the sunset. The loneliness and sadness touched the softest part of Annan's heart: "What's wrong with you?"
"The sand on the beach is so annoying." Leila wiped it. Wiped his eyes.
"Are you homesick?" Annan asked, "Should I take you back? Everything is fine with me here..."
"Don't even think about it!" Leila suddenly bit her Come over and say vaguely: "Sister asked me to come here just to keep an eye on you!"
Laila let go of Annan and ran back to the town in the sunset. Annan lowered his head and looked at the tooth marks on his arm. He followed Leila helplessly.
"Do you need to investigate that hotel?" Della's whisper floated from the shadows.
"...No." Annan looked at Leila's back softly and said, "Let this matter go."
