Charles's movements were very gentle.
It was just treating a blister, but it was treated with such seriousness as if it was a major operation that could cost a person's life.
From Sijiu's perspective, the man who lowered his eyes and focused on applying medicine to her was incredibly gentle.
Sijiu was shocked in his mind and declared: [Mature gentleman, reserved and gentle... I like it. I really like it!]
System: [……] Do you still remember the hero who was waiting for you to conquer by the Daming Lake?
"Why are you so nice to me?" the little girl asked softly.
After Charles applied the last bit of medicine, he looked up at the wine steward and said, "Your Highness is very brave."
"Is that why?"
"Because His Highness is willing to sacrifice himself to save the kingdom from its plight. He is a man worthy of respect."
His expression was serious and solemn: "And I am ashamed of myself."
It is shameful that as a man and a soldier of the kingdom, he has to sacrifice a young girl who has just come of age to protect himself.
He even personally gave her to the evil so-called god.
The little girl blinked. "There's nothing to respect." She smiled, as if embarrassed, with a hint of melancholy. "After all, His Majesty gave the order himself. How could I disobey?"
When Charles heard this, the shame on his face became even more pronounced.
"Your Highness, please rest early. You still have three days of baptism to go. I live next door to your Highness. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."
Charles stood up.
The waiter, chin in hand, saw that he was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Charles."
Charles stopped and turned around: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
"Can you give me a hug?"
Charles: “…”
The little girl's expression was very calm, without any intention to disgust others, and without any desire.
Is she afraid?
I guess I would be scared.
Knowing that they were going to die, no one could remain calm. Throughout her journey, although she was terrified and sad, she never cried or made a fuss.
It must be very hard to endure.
At this moment, Charles felt a softness of heart he had never felt before.
He once again went against his principles, walked back to Sijiu, leaned over and put his arms around her shoulders in a light hug.
"Good night, Your Highness."
May you have a sweet dream.
…
[It's definitely not the male lead. The hug just now didn't trigger it.]
System: [Why are you focusing on him alone? There are so many people here.]
Because he's the best looking.
People who love facial expressions are justified in doing so.
System: I lost. Goodbye!
A dreamless night.
The next day, the cupbearer was called up, had a simple breakfast, and was then taken to the priest to begin baptism.
The cupbearer was changed into a white robe and then soaked in a strange brown liquid. The priest was muttering something beside her and occasionally sprinkled something on her.
Apart from the heat, Sijiu didn't feel anything else for the time being.
Then the priest began to chant a spell, and her long black hair gradually became lighter, and finally turned into the same light gold as Dai Ya. It seems that the color of her pupils also changed.
This disguise technique is truly amazing! If magic existed in the modern world, wouldn't hair salons and contact lens shops all go bankrupt?
System: [No magic can deceive the eyes of the gods. The people of this country are clearly deceiving themselves.]
Si Jiu rubbed his chin. "So, I'm just going to die. What exactly are gods? Judging from everyone's attitude, they seem evil and scary. Do we obey them because they're scary?"
System: [The host will know when he sees it.]
Si Jiu let out a click of his tongue, sneering at the system's pretentious and mysterious nature.
This baptism lasted for three days, during which the butler did not see Charles.
It seems that the sweet love that we had been looking forward to has died. After all, there will be no chance for us to be together again.
Sijiu expressed regret.
The system welcomes this.
However, Princess Daya came back to make her presence felt. Not only was she extremely arrogant and annoying, she even mocked Si Jiu openly and covertly, mocking her for not having much time left.
Three days passed like this, and early on the fourth morning, Charles appeared outside the winery again.
"Your Highness, we should prepare to depart."
