But when she arrived at the room, she didn't see Louis.

After taking a quick look around the room, she saw a piece of paper left by Louis on the desk.

The note was placed in a file bag and read:

"I'm going to take a shower first, see you later"

She smiled and turned the paper over.

On the back of the paper it was written:

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight"

Beatrice raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a happy smile.

Unconsciously, she began to look forward to the moonlight tonight.

Just as she stood up embarrassedly, she accidentally knocked the file bag off the corner of the table.

The document bag fell to the ground.

The unsealed document bag was shaken and the manuscript papers inside were scattered all over the floor.

Beatrice knew that this thing must have been placed here by Louis.

The documents she needed to work on could not be taken into the bedroom.

To be precise, at least not today.

"Why did this guy bring back the documents he needed for work?"

Beatrice felt helpless.

Louis's job is actually not as easy as he imagined.

Especially now, he has a large chamber of commerce under his command, and the chamber of commerce itself plays a key role in trade exchanges.

Plus, he needs to improve his own cultivation, so all in all, his daily life is never idle.

So the little feeling of frustration that arose when he saw the briefcase was quickly suppressed by Beatrice.

But when she picked up the manuscript paper on the ground, she was stunned.

The manuscript paper contains content in the form of four-frame comics.

The story of a princess's growth.

Beatrice was a little confused.

But when I saw the content of the painting, it instantly overlapped with what I had experienced.

"Is this the scene where I choose to take on the burden of the empire while Olivia sleeps?"

"Is this the outfit I wore when I first went on the Spring Hunt? I remember there were paintings left by painters at the time. Did you refer to those paintings?"

"Hey, isn't this the same ceremony where I was first awarded the title of heir to the empire by my father?"

"And this is the picture of me leading the cavalry to win the border war."

The more Beatrice looked, the more surprised she became.

In those four-frame comics, the painter used amazing brushstrokes to depict many of her past highlights.

Beatrice flipped through the pages carefully.

Looking at the content inside, you can tell that it must have taken Louis a lot of time to sort this out.

It would take quite a while just to find Akane, the Empire's historians, and the maids to collect relevant major events.

Not to mention it was painted with such vivid brushstrokes.

It must have taken a lot of time just to select the scenes.

Thinking of this, she smiled even more gently.

"What a fool."

Beatrice said quietly.

At that time, she told Louis that although she didn't care so much about aristocratic cultivation, if she wanted to deal with the current mainstream aristocratic circle, she still had to know something about art.

Whether it is music or art, she hopes that Louis can choose one that he is more interested in and cultivate it as a hobby in the future.

At that time, Louis chose fine arts.

She originally wanted to let Louis learn slowly under the influence of some senior painters.

But I didn't expect that Louis' greed for knowledge would show an amazing learning ability when it comes to that extremely demanding technology.

To the extent that Beatrice, who originally wanted the painters to teach her some of the main schools of art, was refuted by the painters.

In the words of the painters:

"His Royal Highness Louis has a unique advantage in mastering the pure painting techniques."

“Instead of choosing to learn about the relevant fields of various top painters and art schools, it is better to master the skills first.”

“After he has mastered the painting techniques of teachers from various schools, I will introduce the characteristics of each school to him.”

"When the time comes, I can introduce him to the great art masters who have left a glorious legacy over the years. This will give him a deeper understanding from a bird's-eye view."

The person who said this was an old painter who had been frustrated by Louis's learning ability.

Although as a teacher, the skills he mastered have been squeezed dry by His Royal Highness Louis.

But as a famous teacher, he is not only good at painting skills, but also has the ability to tap into students' talents in accordance with local conditions.

This kind of advice, which would never be adopted by a normal art student, is extremely suitable for Louis.

Beatrice even remembered the old painter crying and shouting that Prince Louis's learning ability was not what a human being should have.

Since there may be competition and contempt between painting schools, basically, once you join a certain school, it is assumed that you will not join other schools.

Beatrice also knew why the old painter did this.

Because only with the royal family's pressure could they ignore the intrigues between the schools and honestly pass on their unique skills.

Even when they knew that it was Louis who wanted to learn, they were eager to rush over to share this honor.

She continued to flip through the paper.

Gradually, her expression changed slightly.

The timeline on the drawing paper rushed forward quickly, and before long, the timeline came to the moment when she and Louis met.

When Beatrice saw the scene of herself dodging Louis against the wall for the first time, she subconsciously covered her face.

Even though I did it myself, why do I feel so embarrassed after it was drawn?

Then there was the time he held her hand as they headed to the White Tower.

For the picture here, Louis did not use four frames, but went directly to a close-up.

He kissed the back of Beatrice's hand, and said with a smile on his gentle and noble face: "It was these hands that brought me out of hell."

The picture was extremely clean and tidy. The magic lamp in the painting cast a colorful light, hiding the boy's cold expression.

He in the painting looks as devout as a believer.

Unconsciously, Beatrice blushed.

At this point, the perspective of comics has quietly changed.

From my own perspective, it gradually changed to Louis' perspective.

The above content also gradually began to lean towards Louis' monologue.

On the way back from "visiting" the Sapphire Dragon couple, he rode as fast as he could, hoping to see his sweetheart as soon as possible.

At the engagement party, I was thinking about how to give her a future without regrets.

When we were on our honeymoon together, we were disturbed by the little swan.

The two cheered and jumped for joy when they went out for a trip.

The timeline in the painting finally caught up with reality.

Beatrice saw the drawing paper with traces of fresh painting on it.

This was the scene when they went to the Bitpara woods this afternoon.

Seeing this, Beatrice couldn't help but smile warmly.

But when she felt the paper again, she found that there were a few more at the back.

She turned to the last few pages.

The content of the comics is overwhelming.

The chirping of cicadas, weeping willows and bitpara trees.

Maple leaves, rice fields and fruits of late autumn.

Snow, ice flowers and the city under the snow.

On the last page, the two of them hold hands and walk towards the hall in suits and wedding dresses.

The comic ends here.

Beatrice stared at this scene in a daze.

This is a silent confession poem.

At the end of the comic, she is wearing a wedding dress and smiling at him in the sunshine.

Suddenly, a pair of hands hugged her from behind:

"Isn't it childish?" A familiar voice sounded in her ear.

Perhaps it was because the night was dim and the moon was shyly hiding, giving Louis' voice a hazy and charming sound.

Beatrice turned her head away and kissed Louis' cheek gently: "No, I like it very much."

"Well, that's good." There was a slight nasal tone in his voice.

"Would you like to try it?" Beatrice asked.

Louis said: "I said I would give you a marriage you won't regret. If you have any concerns, you can still stop me now."

The implication is that he had a hard time enduring.

Beatrice pursed her lips and subconsciously became nervous.

She didn't refuse.

Now, it was Louis who became a little nervous.

Beatrice felt that she had lost her composure too many times today, so she simply got up, closed the curtains, and sat on the bed.

Louis blinked, hesitating whether he should go over now.

Although he had been thinking about this day for a long time, when the moment finally came, he actually wanted to retreat.

That was Beatrice's most precious thing. Would it be a little too hasty to take the final step now? "I was thinking of giving it to you at the end of the trip, but maybe it's more appropriate now."

Louis stood in front of Beatrice, half-knelt and opened a jewelry box.

Beatrice covered her mouth in shock.

It was a beautiful gemstone necklace that radiated the light of the sea.

The sea-blue luster flows through the gem like mist.

"Heart of the Ocean?"

Ocean Heart Sapphire is a special gemstone produced in the mermaid kingdom.

In fact, even in the Mermaid Empire deep in the sea, the Heart of the Ocean is not a very common gem.

The last famous person to use this gem to create a necklace was the previous mermaid queen.

It was one of the most precious treasures she received at her coronation.

Of course, what surprised her even more was that there was a gem on the necklace that emitted a sacred light.

"Mermaid Pearl?"

Louis nodded:

"I know you like it very much, so I bought it back."

This jewel necklace is so priceless that it cannot be described.

The Heart of the Ocean gem alone is enough to drain the treasury of a small country.

Mermaid pearls are also very expensive.

At that time, Little Swan needed to lift the curse of his long sleep and needed to purchase a batch of materials.

Among them is a key material that is only produced in the mermaid kingdom.

At that time, Beatrice chose to directly use her mermaid pearl as a bargaining chip in exchange for materials that could lift the curse on her sister.

But Louis had heard about it from the swan.

She said, "Sister Wang treasures the Mermaid Pearl very much. It is one of the gifts her mother left her, and it is the only one of its kind in the entire Star Continent."

Strictly speaking, the mermaid pearl is very expensive, but it would be a joke to say that the Enther Empire cannot afford to buy it back.

But Louis knew that if there was such money, Beatrice would rather spend it on improving people's livelihood.

She has always been of this style and is known as a wise king in the country.

Just like when she could have saved her sister, she ruthlessly traded the Mermaid Pearl.

Between the dead and the living, she would definitely choose the living.

Even if it would cause her unnecessary suffering.

But Louis is different.

He half-knelt and raised his head to look at Beatrice and said:

"Take it, this is a gift I prepared for you."

This was one of the few things he could do for Beatrice.

Of course, the most important thing is that as long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is basically not a problem for him.

If it was to give Beatrice a surprise...

There is even less to say.

Beatrice chuckled, "Speaking of which, I also have something I want to give you."

She waved her hand and a sword box appeared in her hand.

"Open it and take a look. This thing may be useful to you."

Louis was stunned for a moment, then took the sword case.

When he opened the wooden box, he was a little surprised.

It was a long sword made of fine gold. Its hilt was made of white leather, its cross guard was in the shape of a serrated wall, and its blade also had hard and shiny serrations.

"Could this be..."

Beatrice whispered, "The Lonely City Sword, a gift prepared for you."

Louis gently touched the Lonely City Sword and instantly felt an indescribable power gathering in it.

"This feeling... is it the only one?"

"Yes, it is the only one, a gift from the Rockhi Empire to us."

"Hiss, they are... so generous."

"It's probably because apart from us, not many people can use it to its full potential, right?"

The Sword of the Lonely City, also known as the Sword of the Fortress.

It is one of a very rare series of swords.

One of the sword weapons in this series is in Louis' hands.

That’s right, Tianxin Sword is one of the products.

An ancient weapon belonging to the Nine Swords system.

And it is the "prototype sword" with the least restrictions.

"Will you like it?"

Beatrice looked at him pretentiously.

Louis raised his lips and said, "To a reckless man like me, this is much more valuable than gold, silver and treasures."

Beatrice smiled and said, "That's great. It's late, let's get some rest."

Louis couldn't help but think of one thing. In this world, there was no rubber product that could prevent girls from getting hurt.

"Do you need some precautions?"

He couldn't help but have a doubt.

However, Beatrice pulled him to the bedside and whispered softly in his ear:

"No need for that, I took medicine."

She lowered her head and licked Louis' chest. Now she looked like a fluttering kitten.

Louis gently stroked her cheek and said, "It's unnecessary. Taking medicine is harmful to your health."

He really didn't expect Beatrice to do this.

Beatrice shook her head. "I hope to give you a free night, without any restrictions in any way."

Louis swallowed subconsciously, and felt his heartbeat couldn't be stopped at all.
