Chapter 46 Have you taken a fancy to me? "Why are you looking at me? Have you taken a fancy to me...?"
In the dead of night, I sat alone on the carpet in the Imperial Study, pricking my finger and watching the blood flow slowly onto the white paper.
For the past ten days or so, the enemy has made no move, which makes me uneasy. I want to see how things develop.
Strangely, the blood only formed meaningless lines on the white paper—
I was stunned. What was going on?
Suddenly, I remembered that the Elf Queen had said that prophetic abilities could only be activated upon entering her castle. It seemed that relying on supernatural powers for inspiration was out of the question; I sighed inwardly.
As dawn broke, I stepped out of the Imperial Study and unexpectedly ran into Bernard.
"You didn't go back to the bedroom again last night." His expression was like that of a wronged woman.
Even though I knew he was faking it, I still laughed out loud.
Suddenly I had a strange feeling: was he really that cold and handsome young man who had slept in the castle for years and then walked through a sea of corpses and blood? He was sometimes cold and cruel, and sometimes kind and sweet. I couldn't tell which one was the real him.
"Why are you looking at me? Do you like me?" He walked up to me again and flicked the snow off my nose.
My face flushed, and I turned around and said, "No."
He smiled.
Suddenly, Anmer came running up to me, panting, holding a black card. "My lord, it's bad! Because you haven't returned to the capital as instructed by the king, the king has sent an army to attack our castle, led by Lord Roshi. The king is determined to reclaim the territory."
Oh no, another war is about to break out! My legs felt weak.
I've lost count of how many battles I've fought here; it's been a disaster for a coward like me.
"What are you waiting for? Get ready to fight!" Bernard commanded Anmer in my place.
Anmer glanced at him in surprise, then, seeing me nod, quickly accepted the order and left.
