They exchanged a few pleasantries, but Xu Shiqing didn't get in the conversation. Just as Leonardo said he was going back to his chambers, and Alger was about to take him away, the king suddenly brought up something unrelated: "Your Excellency the High Priest."
He smiled and said, "This palace is quiet, and I have long heard of your great name. If you have time, come and chat with me often."
I am very curious about Nachu's situation."
Xu Shiqing agreed, and they took a flying vehicle out of the palace. When they arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Alger, contrary to his usual behavior, held Xu Shiqing's wrist and got out of the car. Somehow, he seemed to be a little angry.
Could it be because I haven’t replied to him for half a month... Xu Shiqing felt guilty and didn’t dare to move because of similar psychological activities.
So it looked more exciting to the other people in the Duke of Lecot's Mansion.
But that's tomorrow's business. System 021 had been with Xu Shiqing for a long time—though it was nothing compared to his life—and had learned to adapt to circumstances and enjoy life in the moment.
System 021: Arrange, arrange them all, arrange them well.jpg.
What else can you do? 007 will have no good days, whether he lives or dies!
"Alger." Xu Shiqing called his name.
The Duke dragged him along in the corridor with a blank expression.
The party in the hall was still going on. Alger glanced at it calmly and walked towards the path in the back garden.
"Alger..." Xu Shiqing's voice was filled with anger.
The parties involved ignored it.
He was wearing a formal suit that made him look broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and handsome. However, it was difficult for Xu Shiqing to keep up with his pace. The hem of his Nachu suit had limited space, so for every step Alger took, he had to take at least two steps behind him.
Xu Shiqing's unyielding spirit was finally defeated by the sinister path in the back garden.
The elf stumbled and fell onto the Duke's back. Furious, Alger didn't react and took two more steps. The result was obvious: they both fell to the ground.
He was angry: "Alger!"
Alger: "..." He felt guilty as he looked at the elf's raised eyebrows and angry expression.
After taking a quick glance, the Duke swallowed silently, then looked again, and again...
Lust can blind one's mind. At this moment, Alger's mind was filled with only one thought:
He is so handsome...
"I want to change my clothes!" With the help of the culprit, Xu Shiqing stood up again from the ground.
The hem of his clothes was too small, so he could only crawl up with a twisted posture - but that was impossible! The priest of the God of Nature would never allow such a disgraceful appearance!
Alger chuckled secretly. He didn't miss the elf's depressed gaze that swept across his clothes. Naturally, he knew what he was thinking, which made him find it even more adorable.
"I'm sorry. I was angry and walked so fast on purpose." Alger said frankly, "I made you fall to the ground."
Xu Shiqing nodded, and put the matter aside. He then asked, "Why are you angry?"
He paused, then added, "I didn't mean to ignore your message. It was simply that circumstances changed and I didn't have time to inform you."
Looking at today's situation, we can actually guess pretty much what's going on.
Alger didn't say this out loud. He was a man who knew how to seize opportunities.
Like now: "I know, but I'm really worried about you."
He looked at the elf with sincerity and held both of her hands. "And we meet again, and you unexpectedly appeared in a gift presented to His Majesty. If I hadn't been there today, I'm afraid you would have been imprisoned for assassination."
Xu Shiqing also realized what was happening, but this was truly a mess. He could only offer futile defenses: "I didn't want to do this either, but the remnants of Nachu's recent attempts to sow discord have been exposed. I hope to find out who's behind this..."
It turned out that the other party had no intention of killing him, so Xu Shiqing was arrested. He had originally planned to follow the clues and eliminate the root of the problem, but he didn't expect the destination to be the Imperial Capital Star.
The situation became complicated, and since it involved the emperor, Xu Shiqing told Alger everything that had happened.
"...The gift was sent by the Queen's people. I will investigate." Alger said concisely: "You can stay at my house for the next few days. Once the situation is clear, you can return."
"I will contact the teacher." Xu Shiqing nodded, knowing that he would not be able to return to Nachu in a short time.
After the serious business, it’s time to spend time with friends.
The back garden was large. Xu Shiqing sighed that the interstellar age was different because of its high productivity. There were exotic flowers and plants, and the snow was quiet. The two of them walked into the greenhouse.
"It seems you really like tending to flowers and plants." Seeing Alger walk into the large clusters of azure flowers with ease, he led him through twists and turns until he finally arrived in front of a red-roofed wooden house.
What is eye-catching is that there is an unfinished swing standing quietly in the small open space in front of the house.
Xu Shiqing moved his fingertips, and green vines broke through the soil, weaving and intertwining, covering the swing that only had two wooden sticks. After thinking for a while, he used magic to make a cluster of flowers bloom around the two supports.
It is natural for elves to like plants and animals. Xu Shiqing did not realize the huge bias in his hobbies. When he felt that something was wrong, he thought of Gu Yi's hobby of planting flowers and collecting specimens in the previous world, and he was deeply moved.
021 looked at the dome of the greenhouse, chuckled, turned around and climbed up the forum, and began to think about when his mosaic plug-in would come in handy.
"Very beautiful... this flower seems familiar?" Alger planned to pick some flowers to give to his sweetheart, as an apology and to express his feelings.
"Golden lotus, when we first met, it was blooming everywhere." Xu Shiqing looked at the scissors he was holding and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Alger said in a relaxed tone, "I'll bring you an apology gift. How can a set of clothes be enough to earn the High Priest's forgiveness?"
Xu Shiqing laughed, feeling somewhat happy: "Great! I look forward to what you will bring back!"
As he spoke, he happily sat down on the newly built swing. Although Nachu's long and narrow skirt was a hindrance, it made him look slender and graceful. Even Xu Shiqing's too clear facial features took on a vague elegance.
Alger looked at the hem of his clothes hanging down like a fish's tail, and thought of his deceased mother, a former dancer. When he was taken to the Lecter family, she had been waiting like this, wrapped in a shark veil, and finally received a cup of poisoned wine.
With a pang of pain in his heart, he hurriedly left the place and buried himself in the sea of flowers to seek apology.
