Chapter 549 How do we rest at night?
Ellie did ask a very crucial question.
"How do you rest at night?"
In the past this was no problem.
Bolan slept in his own room, while Ellie and Rand shared a room.
But what about now? Ellie and Bolan have swapped bodies.
This is where the problem arises.
Which one is Ellie?
Is it Ellie's soul that counts as Ellie, or is it Ellie's body that counts as Ellie?
With whom should Rand rest?
Ellie showed an evil smile. To be honest, it was not easy for the White King, with his pure and beautiful face, to make such an evil smile.
Rand glanced at Berlan.
Bolan, who was originally relaxed, suddenly became nervous and alert.
"Sleeping separately?" Bolan suggested.
"I have no objection." Rand actually didn't mind sleeping separately, and he wouldn't really force Bolan to do anything.
"Will one of the maids find out and gossip about it?" Ellie asked.
I found that the Rand couple slept in separate rooms. This is an important and unimportant signal. Why do they sleep in separate rooms? Is it because of pregnancy? Or is it because of emotional discord?
Under normal circumstances, palace maids would never dare to reveal the royal family's private affairs.
But the situation in the White Kingdom is different. The White King is not married. The White King himself has revealed his intention to pass the throne to Ellie in the future. But no one dares to ensure this until the White King Bolan is too old to have offspring.
Once the news that Ellie and Rand slept in separate rooms spread, it would be quite intriguing.
The White King could also order all maids to leave the palace, or strictly forbid all maids from gossiping.
Since the White King has a high prestige, this would work, but it would also make people wonder if the White King has been seriously injured and cannot be discovered.
When one reaches the position of the White King, every word and action can have a significant impact.
Of course, these effects might not be difficult to deal with, but compared to sleeping in the same room with Rand, wouldn't they be much more serious?
After all, sleeping in the same room wouldn't actually cause anything to happen, and she wouldn't lose a piece of meat, right? Even if she did lose a piece of meat, it would be Ellie's, not her, Bolan's.
"They can't find it," said Bolan.
The three of them could have been more careful and cautious, and the maid would definitely not have been able to detect the actions of these three strong men.
"Of course they can't find out." Ellie said confidently, "But they can't find out in front of you. There will always be clues after what they did."
The sensory abilities of the king, the top leaders, and senior professionals are far superior to those of ordinary people. Most of the people in the palace are ordinary people. After all, Bolan is the king and does not need guards.
As long as the three of them are careful, the maids in the palace will not be able to discover their actions.
But what if one of the palace maids is a super detective?
Trampled marble tiles, fallen hair, wrinkled bedding, or even a faint smell may all serve as evidence pointing to a certain truth.
Of course, the probability of this happening is extremely small.
But was it worth the risk? All Berlan had to pay was sleep in the same room with Rand.
They both took a shower together, so sleeping in the same room shouldn't be a big deal.
In fact, Bolan didn't really care about this kind of thing. She and Rand were really close.
But Bolan was also very clear about Rand and Ellie's strategy towards him. Rand and Ellie just wanted to get further and further, and Bolan wanted to stop them from getting further and further.
In Rand's words, "Today we cede five cities, tomorrow we cede ten cities, then we can sleep peacefully for one night, wake up and look around, and the Qin army will arrive again."
Rand had translated this difficult sentence for her. She understood most of the meaning, although she didn't know what Qin Bing was, but she understood the principle.
Today she gave in a little, tomorrow she gave in a little more, and soon Rand would put his hand inside her clothes.
So Bolan decided not to give in as much as possible, or even if he had to give in, to give in as little as possible.
"I can sleep in the same room with Rand, but we have to draw a line!" Bolan said righteously.
Ellie made a sly squinting expression with Berlan's face.
Once again, she decided to quit while she was ahead.
The goal has been achieved.
"Then I'll go back and prepare." Bolan felt as if he had given in again and said in a low voice.
"There's one more thing." Ellie said, don't worry, and then said, "Your room is too quiet, can I decorate it a little?"
Bolan smiled and said, "Of course, but I have actually decorated it many times now, so it shouldn't be too deserted."
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Ellie gave a standard smile with Berlan's face.
…
After taking a shower, Ellie checked into Bolan's room.
In Ellie's childhood memory, her sister's room was cold and monotonous.
That kind of empty white, as pure and monotonous as a glacier, is the decoration style of the bedroom of the King of White, Bran Calant.
This decorative style is not ugly, or even stylish.
Not suitable for one person to live in.
It is especially not suitable for one person to live in for a long time.
The only people close to Bolan are Rand and Ellie, and both Ellie and Rand are well aware of this.
This time, both Ellie and Rand wanted to give Bolan something that would warm his heart.
At least both of them knew very well that Bolan was definitely not the kind of cold-hearted person who really liked to be alone.
Just as the wielder of fire feels the heat, the wielder of ice feels the cold, both physically and mentally.
This is also why Berlan gave in step by step to the actions of Ellie and Rand.
The king's military power was invincible on the battlefield, but it was of no use to his close family members.
Especially when Bolan knew exactly what Ellie and Rand were thinking.
If she hadn't also known that some things couldn't be decided just by thinking about them, she might have already let Rand and Ellie manipulate them.
When Ellie entered Berlan's bedroom today, she clearly felt something was different.
The overall style is probably still plain white.
But there are many more decorations.
For example, the Ellie figurine carved by Ellie and the Rand figurine carved by Rand.
For example, the ship model placed in one corner was the model designed by Rand when he decided to build his own ship. Later, Bolan built the Ice Phoenix based on this model and gave it to Rand.
Then there is some breath of life.
You can see a desk, pen and paper.
There are some unfinished letters on it, probably the content they want to communicate with Rand or her sister.
The environment here is different from what I remember.
Although the overall style has not changed, Ellie can clearly feel that this place is much warmer than she remembered.
"Looks good?" Ellie hummed happily.
At this time, on the other side, in Prince Ellie's bedroom, a "couple" was staring at each other.
They just came out of the bathroom.
This time, Bolan was careful, so when everyone took a bath together, Bolan made an ice curtain so that they could not see each other.
Although Bolan knew that his body was no secret to Rand, Ellie's body was even more familiar to Rand.
But now Bolan is very cautious and she wants to take precautions.
If Rand suddenly pounced on her, could she still sue him for rape?
Rand looked at the rather wary Bolan and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything."
Then Rand recalled the theoretical gentleman's actions he learned from watching TV dramas in his previous life.
"Don't worry, I can sleep on the carpet or the sofa." Rand said.
Bolan held the towel in one hand and lightly touched the ground with the other.
It is early spring now.
The chill has not yet dissipated.
"Don't do these things. There's no need. Just pay attention to your movements when you sleep and I'll be satisfied." After saying that, Bolan scratched a mark on the quilt.
Just like the action of the girl sitting next to me in elementary school: "This is the boundary, you can't cross it."
Rand wanted to laugh, but he held back.
Rand pulled the towel off his waist and began to change into pajamas. Of course, he had a store of clothes in this room.
Bolan didn't have much reaction to Rand's body. He turned his back hesitantly and started to change into pajamas.
Soon the two of them went from standing on the ground staring at each other to lying on the bed staring at each other.
The ice blue eyes that were identical to Bolan's own body were breathtaking.
He was reserved and pretended to be firm, but his panic could not be concealed.
This amused Rand.
Bolan is certainly not a timid person, she is tough and courageous.
But now...
Ellie's warm room is a dark forest full of dangers for the great White King Bolan.
At any moment from now, Rand might extend his evil hand, or his evil tongue.
Due to the power of the frost, the oil lamps in the houses went out.
Now that Bolan was using Ellie's body, his perception wasn't as strong as his own, but he could still feel more in the silence and darkness.
For example, at night, the faint but bright starlight shines in from the sky outside.
Like the whisper of the night breeze melting the snow.
There is the subtle "crackling" sound of tender buds breaking through the bracts on the branches, and the crisp "clang" sound of the ice cracking when the snow melts.
Or perhaps Rand's breathing, which is far louder than these faint sounds of nature.
Such breathing sounds allowed Bolan to clearly realize that there was someone so close to him.
His name was Rand Nicholas, his brother-in-law.
Of course, Rand could also hear Bolan's breathing, or to be more precise, it was Ellie's breathing.
Rand was naturally very familiar with this sound.
Ellie was the one who stayed with Rand the longest at night, not because Ellie used her privileges as a matron to exclude other of Rand's lovers.
It’s simply because the Sanctuary’s top brass aren’t as shameless as Ellie.
Maybe only Lysa can barely compare with Ellie, but Lysa doesn't live with everyone.
If it was the time for the remaining senior executives and Rand, Ellie would often choose to lie on the small bed nearby and watch.
For example, observing learning techniques, or acting as an atmosphere group to cheer people up.
Ellie is the mistress, so the other high-ranking officials of the sanctuary are too embarrassed to ask Ellie to leave.
As for other high-ranking officials of the Sanctuary, if it was not their time that night, they would rarely choose to sleep with Rand, as it was too shameful.
As one person gained strength while the other lost strength, Ellie was naturally the person who stayed with Rand the longest at night.
The soul in the body of Ellie in front of me tonight is Bolan, but there is not much difference in the breathing sound.
Rand was familiar with this.
"Report." Rand said in a voice not much different from breathing.
Such sounds are still clear in the quiet night.
"What?" Bolan asked.
"I'm a little cold." Rand said softly.
Bolan made a faint, almost inaudible "tsk" sound and asked, "Is the quilt too thin? You can add another layer."
"According to scientific knowledge, the quilt itself has no temperature, and the temperature needs to be provided by people." It's rare to start talking about some scientific principles, although this is not scientific.
As long as it seems reasonable.
Things like adding a quilt to keep warm have nothing to do with the present.
"Nonsense." Of course Bolan knew that Rand was talking nonsense.
"I'm cold." Rand knew he was talking nonsense, but it didn't matter, he just repeated it.
Bolan bared his teeth slightly and whispered, "What do you want to do?"
"I heard that when people get close to each other, they can warm each other," Rand replied.
Rand didn't need to hear this, people who are together can certainly warm each other.
Now Bolan knew what Rand wanted to do.
"I can agree, but you can't reach out. That's all for today." Bolan seemed to have learned the specific usage of Ellie's body, and puffed up his face like a little squirrel.
"Okay, I promise to follow the rules." Rand smiled.
Bolan, who was very close to Rand, could of course hear the smile in Rand's words. It was obvious that Rand's trick had succeeded.
But Bolan still has some "trust" in Rand. At least until now, Rand has not done anything that crosses the line, such as crossing the "line" she drew before going to bed.
Bolan didn't know whether Rand did this intentionally or unintentionally, but this behavior of not crossing the line still gave Bolan some peace of mind.
Although Rand's mouth is constantly trying to cross the line.
Bolan no longer hesitated and moved closer to Rand. Although they were back to back, he still touched Rand's body.
At the "boundary", the two people lean against each other with their backs facing each other. Neither of them crosses the "boundary", but the body temperatures of both sides can warm each other.
The night was quiet and silent. At least at this moment, Bolan and Rand could not hear the "sounds of spring" from the outside nature. All they could hear was each other's breathing.
And, of course, the sound of a heartbeat.
Their heartbeats quickened when they touched, but soon returned to normal.
Bolan closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind of complicated thoughts. His back touched Rand's, and he felt more at ease than he had imagined.
Similarly, after getting close to Rand, I did feel warmer. This warmth didn't have much impact, but it was warmer than not being close to each other.
Listening to Rand's breathing and heartbeat, Bolan fell asleep, and her dreams were as peaceful and comfortable as her ice-blue eyes.
