The gate was closed, and the king of Sathya was standing behind her, and no one else was there.

Lonely men and widows live in the same room.

Feeling that the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to her, Ella's eyes showed vigilance, and her hand also touched the ring. If the other party has any unruly behavior, she will act first to stun him.

But the young king didn't intend to do anything to her, he walked past her under Ella's guard, and sat down by himself.

Seeing this, Ella secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she have the leisure to look around.

This is a very large room, estimated from the size of the marble floor, it should be about two hundred square meters.

This is a golden room, all the walls are covered with transparent gauze curtains, even the door is no exception, but the gauze curtains on the side of the gate are separated from the left and right and fixed on both sides of the door, neither revealing the walls norIt will not hinder entry and exit, and the balcony facing the gate is also arranged in the same way.

Not only these, there is a big bed on the right side of the door, and the big bed is also covered with layers of gauze curtains, making the scene inside the bed faintly visible and impossible to be seen.

Interestingly, these drapes were supposed to be gold, but the flames burning in the braziers on the brackets in the corners dyed them a dark gold.

Ella knew very well that in ancient times, golden cloth was very rare and precious, because there was a high probability that they were "dyed" with real gold.

So even though there is not much furniture in the whole room except for the three-meter-wide bed, the room is still staggeringly rich.

Ella guessed that this should be the sleeping palace of King Sathya.

The side of the sleeping hall facing the Inlula River is a large balcony. The door of the balcony is open, and you can see a gibbous moon hanging on the right side of the sky.Running away from afar.

The evening wind blew away the heat of the day, and the sudden drop of more than ten degrees made Ella feel cold. She took off her veil silently and wrapped herself as a shawl, although the light veil could notHow much warmth it brings to her.

The temperature difference between day and night in Sathya is huge, and one who is not paying attention can easily get sick.

In order to escape, Ella combed her silver hair into a braid, without any gorgeous accessories, wearing a plain white linen skirt showing her straight calves, looking gentle and slender.

Lucis stared at the soft calves exposed under the knee-length skirt and the feet in ill-fitting sandals, recalling the flashing images in the banquet hall before.

The maid Ella was looking for was wearing a sleeveless linen dress. Although she covered her face and smooth arms with a veil, she couldn't cover her exposed legs. If it weren't for the night, the royal palaceThe lighting used in the corridor was a brazier again, and the color of the flame covered the color of her skin. was afraid that she would be discovered when she passed by the maid sent by Lucis.

Of course, Lucis also didn’t discover Ella because of her skin color. Even when Ella walked past the door of the banquet hall at the beginning, the first thing Lucis saw was the noblewoman supported by her, instead of hiding herself in the female aristocrat.Ayla behind the nobleman.

But that flashing picture was filled with a hint of discord, but Lucis's thoughts were on other things at the time, so he didn't think deeply about the strangeness.

But when the maid he sent to follow Ella came back in a hurry to tell him that he was gone, Lucis knew why he felt offended.

It's the ill-fitting shoes and the too-perfect feet.

The shoes worn by the Sathyas are sandals similar to flip-flops. Ella’s feet are several sizes smaller than the pair of sandals she is wearing now. The flip-flops don’t fit well.But in retrospect, you will find that the distance between her heel and the heel of the shoe is too far.

The most important thing is that the civilians in Sathia usually do not wear shoes. Their feet will accumulate thick calluses and scars due to walking barefoot, and even their calves cannot be spared, but Ella's legs and feet are bothIt is soft and smooth without any calluses or scars. In Sathya, only babies who can't walk have feet.

At that time, it was just a quick glance, but looking at it now, Lucis couldn't move his eyes.

Ella didn't notice that his eyes fell on her feet. The atmosphere in the room was too strange, and she didn't know how to respond if the other party didn't speak.

Oh, there was a language barrier between them, and she couldn't understand them even if they spoke.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the strange silence in the room.

Lucis yelled to come in, and an elderly man with gray hair walked in.

The elder walked up to Lucis and knelt on his knees, prostrated his upper body on the ground, lowered his head and kissed the ground in front of his feet: "Great king, your servant Kaba obeys your orders."

"Get up and go talk to her."

Kabbah is the translator of the royal palace, and his job is to provide translation for Lucis. When he was summoned by Lucis, Kabbah was ready.

He got up from the ground and walked in front of Ella. When he saw her face clearly, even if he was as old as he, he couldn't help being amazed. Fortunately, he still remembered who he was in front of, and he didn't dare to look at her more.He spoke a greeting in Sathiya.

Seeing the old man come to talk to her, Ella knew that he should also be an interpreter, so she also said a greeting.

The translators in Kata can understand Ella's language, and the translators in Sathya, a country that often has caravans from the Mio continent, will naturally not understand.

Even, Kata's translator can only understand some simple words and sentences, but Kaba can understand most of them.

After confirming that they could communicate, Lucis called someone over.

"Where is the kingdom of Faretel she spoke of?"

Kaba wondered: "Your Majesty, your servant has never heard of the kingdom of Farretel. The language spoken by this beautiful lady is similar to a popular language in the north of the Mio Continent. Many countries and tribes use it.This language, but her pronunciation and grammar still have certain differences, and it is not one of those countries that I know."

Lucis didn't care if it was a country he was familiar with, or it would be better if no one knew about it.

Lu Xisi's tone was gloomy: "Tell her, as long as she stays here with peace of mind, I can guarantee her safety, but if she still wants to escape, the palace doesn't mind one more slave."

Kaba was stabbed by the coldness in Lucis' words, and quickly relayed the words to Ella.

When Ella heard this, she was annoyed for a while, but after seeing Lucis's face, she was indeed a little scared.

After all, she thinks she is just an ordinary girl. Although she has been a human being in two lives, except for the year when she was guarding against her stepmother's black hands, most of the time she lived in the two lives was simple and peaceful. She really didn't have much to deal with.With the experience of a superior who has a bad temper at first glance, he will naturally be afraid when threatened.

But Ella was not one to swallow her anger. She asked Kabbah to relay: "I don't know what the Kata people told you, but I am not a member of the mission. It should be my freedom to stay or stay."

Lucis: "In my country, I control everything, including your so-called freedom."

Ella was immediately discouraged, and she was indeed stupid when she told the king of a slavery country about freedom.

She took a deep breath and decided to take a step back: "What you said about ensuring my safety, does it mean that you won't force me to do anything if I don't want to?"

Naturally, Lucis could understand the meaning of these words.

He looked meaningfully at the girl in front of him who was trying to be calm: "As long as you don't do things that anger me."

Although Lucis is obsessed with keeping Ella, it is not only because of the things between men and women, but more because of Ella's specialness.

In the eyes of Lucis at this time, Ella is more like a rare treasure, and such a treasure should belong to him, and only he deserves to have it.

Of course, at the same time, he also felt that Ella was really suspicious, and he kept her just to figure out her secrets.

So although he was angry that Ella ran away, he was still willing to give her a chance.

If you can sign a magic contract with Lucis now, Ayla will definitely let Lucis sign it.

But it's a pity, if she does this now, she might lose her life.

She could only hold back her breath and said, "I hope you will keep your promise."

Lucis nodded: "Of course."

Their conversation ends here.

After that, Lucis called the maid and asked Ella to go with her along with Kabbah.

After leaving Lucis' bedroom, Ella felt relieved.

To be honest, although the king of Sathya is very young, his aura is too strong, which is not comparable to the king's father in Ayla's memory. Ayla didn't feel much in the banquet hall before, but she faced it alone.This feeling is especially obvious when the other party is still angry. If Aila is a little less courageous, she can kneel to him on the spot.

This also made her realize that if she escaped again and was caught again, he would really make her a slave girl.

And after the other party was on guard, she really didn't have much confidence in being able to escape.

Thinking about the tragic consequences of being a slave, Ella decided to be more sensible.

So Aila really doesn't plan to run away now. Instead of offending the other party again in the current isolated and helpless situation, it's better to stay still and find out the situation before talking.

Of course, if King Sathya cannot keep her promise, she will still run away.

Ella kept up with the maid, and said to Kabbah, "Mr. Kabbah, can I ask you about the language here?"

Kaba said respectfully: "Of course, I think His Majesty also means the same." Otherwise, he would not be allowed to act with them.

He followed up just to translate for Ella, but he couldn't stay by her side all the time, and the king didn't want to have him as an eyesore every time he talked to her, so he taught Ella Sathya.The matter was acquiesced by the king.

"Then I'll leave it to you then."

"My pleasure."
