Charles remained silent throughout the entire conversation.
His mood affected the mood of the wine steward.
After all, whether you're teasing or flirting, if the other person doesn't respond, there's no fun at all.
Si Jiu didn't know how much struggle Charles was having inside. She lay comfortably on Charles' back, and even began to feel drowsy as he walked.
After all, I got up too early and didn’t get enough sleep.
The vegetation in the forest is extremely lush and the trees are very tall, blocking out the sun so that no sunlight can be seen at all.
In such a large jungle, we could not hear any other sounds except the footsteps of our group.
According to the laws of nature, a place like this would have to have some small animals, not just large beasts, right? Birds and insects would be fine too.
But no.
There was no sound at all. It was like a dead tomb.
Until he reached a certain point, Charles stopped.
He put the little girl down from his back and gave her a dull look: "We're here, Your Highness."
The little girl rubbed her still hazy eyes, leaving a red mark on her cheek. She looked naive and innocent in her daze: "Are we there yet?"
Charles suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
The fog ahead is so thick that you can't see the end. If you walk in, you can't see the way back.
It was quiet and peaceful in there, but everyone knew what was going on.
It was a forbidden place for the gods, a den of evil, and once she entered, she would never be able to leave.
"I can't accompany Your Highness on the rest of the journey." Charles said with difficulty.
The beautiful girl raised her face and gave him a bright smile: "I see. Thank you, Charles."
Charles' breath was choked, and he turned his face away almost in embarrassment.
He couldn't look her in the eyes.
He felt mean and cowardly.
"We're about to part ways, can't you give me one last smile?"
Charles: “…”
"Very well then. Take care, my knight."
The footsteps are gradually fading away.
Charles' fingers curled and tightened little by little. He rushed after him and grabbed the waiter.
Si Jiu turned around in surprise.
There was a warmth on my forehead and soft lips pressed against it.
A cherished kiss on the forehead.
"May you be safe and sound, my Lord."
[Ding... The identity of the world's male protagonist is revealed...]
"Bang...crash..."
The earth shook violently, trees fell down with a loud bang, the ground beneath their feet cracked, and the howling wind blew the mist not far away, rushing towards the two of them with bared fangs and claws.
[23. What's going on? The male lead? Charles? Why did the prompt only say half of the sentence and then stop?]
"Captain of the Guard, the gods are angry. You are about to cross the line, come back quickly. If we violate the taboos of the gods, we will all be finished." Della roared angrily.
"Cha..." Her whole body was suddenly bound by fog. The thick fog was like a physical monster. It not only trapped Si Jiu, but also covered her mouth and nose.
Entangle and pull.
Charles' palms felt empty, and he looked up in panic. The girl had been completely submerged in the mist, and in an instant, no trace of her could be seen.
Charles started to chase after him, but Della and others caught up with him and hugged him tightly from behind.
"Captain of the Guard, we can't go in. That's a forbidden area."
"Captain, calm down."
"Charles, are you going to drag all of us down with you? If you want to die, go by yourself and don't drag us down with you." Della yelled.
Charles stopped moving, looked deeply into the mist with red eyes, turned his head and said, "Let's go."
Della spat on the ground, her eyes filled with pleasure and viciousness.
That bitch is doomed. That idiot Charles actually fell for her.
I must tell Her Royal Highness the Princess when I get back, so that Charles, this disgusting guy, will not have a good ending.
Bah! Serves you right. Good riddance.
The return trip was faster than the outward journey. When they reached the teleportation array, Charles took two steps back and said, "You guys go."
"Captain of the Guard!" Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Charles: "I want to go back."
The guards: "!!!"
This must be due to some evil spirit.
Charles knew he was not possessed.
She said it herself, I am her knight, and a knight never runs away alone.
I will bring her back myself.
Charles turned decisively.
