Endless Silver Machine

Only took half the scheduled time. A quarter of an hour later, the magic power of the floating urban cluster finally returned to normal flow.

Lan Ming released the synchronic resonance of the candle dragon's molten gold, and she kept walking on thin ice for a quarter of an hour, delicately destroying all the mimicry magic equipment in the floating city.

Charlotte, who had been watching Lan Ming behind him, immediately supported his shaky body.

The emblem of the Candle Dragon Molten Gold disappeared, but it was forever engraved in the hearts of the gods who were saved by her and knew about it.

When Lan Ming regained consciousness in the room of the Protoss Palace in the evening, he learned that Wei Xi had successfully completed the rescue mission, and the mobile team heading to the tower had returned safely.

After listening to Xia Luo's explanation, Lan Ming nodded sadly.

Perhaps it was because the incident had come to an end when he fell asleep, as if he had a hazy feeling that he was still in a dream.

There are strange tubes connected to his body. It was probably a medical device unique to the Protoss. A faint light slowly flowed into the body in the transparent tube.

If it were Charlotte from the past, she would definitely have an expression that looked like she was about to cry again, but this time she held back.

"Teacher Letika said that the princess must stay in the room until she can get out of bed, so please rest peacefully."

"Just tell me in a more relaxed tone at this time."

Lan Ming deliberately laughed out loud in order to make Xia Luo feel at ease.

But Charlotte didn't agree with Lan Ming. He just walked to her bed silently, took off his beret and put it on his knees. He seemed a little tired.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry... I seem to have reached my limit. Whether it was watching you put yourself in danger or this rescue operation, I have failed to fulfill the obligations that God owes to your knight."

Although he tried hard to show a calm expression that wanted Lan Ming not to worry, the words he confided made Lan Ming feel worried all the time.

She picked up the beret from Charlotte's lap, sat up from the bed and put it on her head again, patting her head gently through the hat.

This was a gift that Lan Ming personally selected and gave to Charlotte when the relationship between the two was officially established as the princess of the Bis Empire and the knight guarding the princess.

For Charlotte, this beret is like the incarnation of Lan Ming and is her most cherished treasure.

"Charlotte, do you know the purpose of Aika taking me to the street that day?"

Of course, Xia Luo would not know, because Aika did not tell Xia Luo his purpose of doing this, which was equivalent to forcibly snatching Lan Ming from his hands.

Looking back now, Charlotte is still a little bit resentful about simply letting Aika go at that time.

"He said that he hoped that I could live as Lan Ming, not as the princess of the Bis Empire. I still remember him saying something very outrageous. He said that my existence has nothing to do with anyone's life. Very That's too much, right? This is equivalent to denying my value as the third princess of the Bis Empire.

"..."

"So I didn't hesitate to attack him."

Lan Ming told Xia Luo with a guilt-free tone.

"Your Highness, did you beat Aika?"

Charlotte couldn't believe that the gentle and elegant princess would actually do something as rude as "beating someone". Even the outrageous words Aika said to her were put in the second place.

"Well, that must have been the second time I attacked him."

"And twice!?"

"Although I know these are all his good intentions. Including the first time, when we took a civilian airship to the Kingdom of Tebiri to sign a contract, at that time he was only thinking about venting his anger on Wei Xi. So Aika never Wrong, it’s just that what he did was too clumsy.”

Although Lan Ming complained about all the bad things about Aika, the expression on her face said otherwise.

If you want to describe it, the look on Lan Ming's face now is exactly the look she had when she recalled the dreamy meeting with the longed-for prince at the welcome party in the girls' dormitory of Shuoyue Academy.

Although at that time it was just to confuse the girls around her, now she is truly expressing her true feelings.

Whether it was "that time" or "now", Lan Ming's state of mind has never changed.

"But overall, it was a very happy date."

After the two came back from the celebration during the preparations for Children's Day, although Xia Luo, who was extremely concerned about this, kept looking for opportunities to ask Lan Ming about his day, Lan Ming just smiled and said nothing.

It wasn't until now that she wanted to share with Charlotte what Aika had taught her, that Lan Ming gave her an ambiguous glimpse of that date.

"Your Highness, you just said it was a 'date'..."

"Yes, it's a date. It's not a trip as a princess and a knight, it's just a date with a very ordinary, ordinary, ordinary boy."

Lan Ming emphasized "very ordinary" three times, then covered his mouth and laughed.

Charlotte opened her mouth slightly in surprise. This was the first time she saw Lan Ming smile so sincerely.

Besides himself, it should be a happy thing if there is someone else who can make Lan Ming smile like this.

Although there was a voice in Charlotte's heart that was talking about the imaginary Aika, another voice still expressed gratitude to him.

——Thank you for being able to stay with Her Royal Highness the Princess and achieve what only I cannot do for her.

"So, Charlotte, now do you know what I want to say to you?"

"I think I won't be able to do what Her Highness the Princess wants."

Charlotte raised her head and showed an uninhibited smile. This time it was Lan Ming who showed a surprised expression.

"In the heart of Charlotte Ezein, Her Royal Highness the Princess will always be unshakable and cannot be replaced by anyone. If you want me to change this idea, Her Royal Highness the Princess, please let that man come on a date with me. "

Lan Ming was startled by Charlotte's out-of-character declaration. It took her a moment to realize that this was a challenge to Aika through herself, and she smiled happily.

"Do you want Aika to date you, make you shy, and eventually fall in love with you?"

"How, how could you have such shameless thoughts!"

"Girls should be bold enough to fall in love."

"How could I develop a relationship like that with that man!"

Perhaps, Xia Luo already had his own ideas in mind, and the reason why he still didn't follow Lan Ming was just because of his competitiveness towards Aika.

So, the way to eliminate this pure competitiveness is very simple.

"I have accepted your challenge on behalf of Aika. After all the incidents are over, you can also go on a date. Of course, it cannot be left to Charlotte to decide on your own and quietly do it without me knowing. Since you have let me know your thoughts, you must first obtain my consent, and I will arrange the date."

After listening to what Lan Ming said with a soft smile, Charlotte's expression gradually became stiff.

Lan Ming smiled and admired Charlotte's different expressions that changed like a dress-up doll, and wished that they could usher in "that day" under the sky where the haze has cleared.
