The Kela River is not far from the border of the Golden Lion Country, and it is more than enough to reach the royal city of St. Antis overnight. However, the movement of the army crossing the border must not be small, and it is easy to disturb the people in other towns, so Osved chose to take a long detour, and finally took double the time to reach the Ugin Hanging Palace. It was already late at night the next day.

Although the Golden Lion Country is no longer glorious, the shadow of its former prosperity can still be seen from the towering palace.

This is probably one of the most peculiar terrains in the northern part of the mainland. The land is like giant pillars supporting umbrellas, each of which is high and low. the road.

The Ugin Hanging Palace sits still on top of the tallest pillar of the God's Way.

The iron hinges rattled, and the gate of the hanging palace was slowly lowered.

The Wujin iron cavalry army did not enter the door, but turned the horse's head, kicked and turned to the ropeway on the left, which was connected to their legion's base camp. The hanging palace guards trotted out in line, stood on both sides of the gate, and slammed their legs together, so shocked that Kevin was completely sleepy.

His Excellency Fassbender, who is not afraid of death, is always calm and calm, even if he is tied to a flagpole to show the public, he will not change his nature. Osved had planned to put him down in the middle of the trip, but when he got off his horse, he found that the ancestor had no intention of reflecting at all, and had already fallen asleep.

He was not completely defenseless in his sleep. He raised half of his eyelids and glanced at Osved's approach. After confirming that it was safe, he fell asleep again. Remove him from the flagpole.

For some reason, Osved's teeth itch when he sees his "it doesn't matter, anyway you can't take me", even though he knows that this is Kevin's nature, and he didn't mean to be angry with anyone. It was probably the sequelae of being walked as a dog when he was a child, or maybe it was the instinct of a competitive male. He couldn't help but use all kinds of methods to suppress Kevin. He just wanted to make Kevin feel soft again. This kind of repression is a serious matter, and they always come back like cats and dogs.

He was used to it and didn't think there was a problem, but in the eyes of others, it really looked like a provocation.

"Your Majesty, then I'll go back to the camp first." Mio pulled the reins and said to Osved.

The base camp of the Bronze Army is opposite the Ujin Iron Cavalry, and is connected to this giant pillar by another ropeway. In the night, the star lights are shining, and Kevin used to live there. But it was said to live, in fact, it didn't stay long at all. Most of the time, the Bronze Army is guarded at the junction of the western side of the Golden Lion Country and the desert. Only in the rainy season can they pull out their camp and return to the King City to rest for a while.

When Kevin heard Mio say this, he relaxed and said, "Then I too—"

"What are you?" Osved glanced at him and said lukewarmly, "Your Excellency has never opened your eyes all the way, should you be full by now?"

Kevin didn't care: "Let's talk about whether to sleep or not, I'll settle down first. Mio, are there any vacant berths in the camp?"

Of course he wouldn't expect a place to stay for a "commander who has been dead for several years", but there must be a place to sleep.

Mio nodded, and before he could speak, Osved cut him off. He raised his chin at the open palace gate and said, "Let's talk about it when you settle down, take the penalty first, and come with me." After that, he pulled the reins and rode a horse vulture into the gate of the hanging palace.

Kevin shrugged at Mio, motioned him to go first, then drove the horse vulture to catch up with Osved, and said angrily, "...Isn't the penalty for taking me as a kite all the way?"

The Ugin Hanging Palace has a magnificent and complex structure. Most of the outer areas are guarded places, the middle is the banquet hall and the castle for handling official business, and the innermost floor is the emperor's residence.

They dismounted before the third gate. Osved threw the reins to the team of guards he followed, pointed to the two human figures and pets behind Kevin: "Set up a temporary shelter for these two little devils, don't let them run away."

Ban and the White Rabbit boy glanced at Kevin innocently, and followed the guards in three steps.

"What about me?" Kevin asked amusingly, waiting to see what punishment Osved had.

"You—" As soon as Osved opened his mouth, he heard footsteps running out from inside, sounding quite cheerful.

Kevin turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a little girl who was not taller than his legs rolled over like a grenade and rushed towards Osved. Before reaching the front, he had already opened his arms like a lotus root, and his mouth was squeaking like a bird. She screamed, looking like she was going crazy.

Osved bent down, and when she ran in front of her, he picked her up with one hand, and said with a stern face, "Why haven't you slept so late, don't think about growing like this!"

Although the young emperor was handsome and threatening, he was still very fierce when he frowned, and it was not a problem to scare the little devil into tears. But this little girl who looks like four or five years old is not afraid of him at all, and hugging his neck is a slap.

Osved let out a "tsk", turned his head and said in disgust, "I'm drooling again."

The little girl giggled.

Osved: ​​"..."

As soon as he turned his head, he just caught sight of Kevin, who was watching the excitement with his arms folded, and saw the other person lift his chin, so he calmly said: "The children are so old, if I remember correctly, Your Majesty, you are only twenty-one? I became a father when I was young. I didn't see it, but it was quite amazing."

Osved: ​​"..." Fuck your fart.

If someone else said this, Osved wouldn't care. Of course, few people dare to ask such a question in such a tone. But Kevin made such a joke, he couldn't help but want to clean up this man and make him owe so much every day!

And what do you mean by not seeing it? !

Osved strode forward with the little girl in his arms, and said to the inner courtier beside him: "Find out the Imperial Code in my study, get a pen and paper ready, watch Lord Fassbender copy it, and write down all the information about court etiquette. Copy the part about the power of the emperor fifty times, and not a single word should be omitted.”

Kevin's eyes darkened: "..." The code was so thick that it could kill a cow.

It seems that the words that let him re-learn etiquette were really not for nothing... You have such a good memory, does your mother know? !

＊＊＊＊＊

Kevin reluctantly followed the inner courtier through the corridor, stopping in front of a heavy copper door.

"Don't be stupid at the door, copy it quickly, I'll check it later." Osved said.

Kevin: "..." You don't sleep?

It's a pity that Osved ignored him. After he finished speaking, he walked around him with a handsome face, hugged the little girl and turned into the front corridor without saying a word. It didn't take long for a door to be pushed open behind the corner, making a squeak.

The inner waiter opened the copper door and gave Kevin a "please" gesture. Kevin shook his head helplessly and followed him through the door.

This study is very stylishly furnished, with thick copper cabinets nailed to the walls on three sides, with the top reaching the ceiling. Each copper cabinet is stuffed with thick books and stacks of parchment scrolls. know it's never been turned over.

It's all pretend!

Only those books stacked on the table are really useful, and the traces of frequent flipping can be seen.

Kevin suspects that the chamberlain is more familiar than Osved with which books are on these copper cabinets. The young man swept around, and quickly pulled out the codebook thicker than a brick, placed it on the table respectfully, spread out the pen and paper, and silently retreated to the door.

"Etiquette and imperial power..." Kevin sighed, sat down at the desk, raised his hand and opened the code.

Kevin's liver hurts from the catalogue. The contents of the two parts are more than a hundred pages, and he can copy it fifty times from this year to next year. Kevin rested his chin in one hand, turned a few pages lazily, and closed the book again with a snap.

Whoever copied who was stupid.

He picked up the tome, walked out of the study, and turned into the corridor.

The door of the first room on the left was open, and Osved's deep voice mixed with the warm yellow lights came out of the room, "...God raised a golden longbow and nailed the rebels with sharp arrows forged from light. On the pillar, what is the blood pouring out, the undead - Fassbender? What are you doing here?"

Kevin pulled back the hand that was about to knock on the door and said, "Come and discuss something with Your Majesty."

Osved: ​​"Come in."

Kevin lifted his foot into the room and saw Osved sitting by the bed with a book not much thinner than the Codex in his hand. The pretty little girl was lying on the bed, her eyes wide open, staring at Kevin curiously.

"This is—" Kevin raised his eyebrows.

The little girl quickly replied, "Uncle Ao is reading me a bedtime story."

She probably didn't know much about Osved's name, so she shortened it to one word.

"Uncle?" Kevin hesitated.

"Yeah." For some reason, Osved didn't seem to want to mention this, so he just answered dryly and took it away. He probably felt that "reading a story" was a bit embarrassing, so he turned his head and said to the little girl angrily, "Are you refreshed again? Are you still sleeping?"

The little girl immediately yawned and said in cooperation, "I'm sleepy now."

Osved: ​​"..."

Kevin took a few steps closer and glanced at the cover of Osved's book, "Divine Calendar? Which paragraph did you read?"

Osved replied casually: "The part of Radiant God Fae sweeping the rebels."

Kevin was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at him with a complicated expression.

"What?" Osved rolled his eyelids.

Kevin cast a sympathetic glance at the little girl: "I remember correctly, the second half of this paragraph is bloody and cruel, and the dead corpses are covered with blood. Are you trying to coax people to sleep or deliberately scare people?"

Osved snorted and said: "There is such a reliable person in the old god, who doesn't read him? Besides, this battle was decisive and straightforward, and countless people were saved, the kid should listen more to heroic stories. Fear."

The little ghost in the quilt said very respectfully: "Ao likes Radiant God Fae the most. He has read this story for a year, and I will recite it so I won't be afraid."

Osved: ​​"..."

Kevin: "..."

The young and handsome His Majesty the Emperor finally couldn't hold back his face, threw the book angrily in the eyes of Kevin looking at the beast, and walked to the door with a dark face: "What the hell? If you look at me like this again, I will ask the guard to cross you Hang the tower for one night."

"Oh, I just wanted to say that copying the Codex is expensive and expensive. Let's make a compromise, how about I read it to you?" Kevin said, tapped the cover of the Codex with his knuckles, and smiled gracefully: " It's like a bedtime story."

Osved looked at him blankly for a while, raised his finger to the door, and said two words succinctly: "Dream. Get out."

Kevin "tsk": "I suddenly miss you ten years ago."

Osved: ​​"What?"

Kevin: "Raise your hand to beat."

Osved: ​​"..."

Kevin Fassbender's fifty-time penalty has become a hundred times.

And the young emperor's majesty almost lost sleep.

The thrilling experience in the past few days, the reappearance of Kevin who has been "dead for many years", the bastard who loved to walk him back then still loves to walk him, and I don't know which of these three things is more exciting. In short, Osved stared at the curtains on the top of the bed for a long time without the slightest sleepiness, and didn't fall asleep for a while until the early morning.

For a while, he also dreamed of Kevin.
