"Don't be rude to His Highness..."
"Everyone go back!"
Ethan forced everyone away until he was the only one left outside the control room.
During this process, Teni remained silent and kept his head down, and he didn't even know when he walked in.
In fact, Tenney knew very well that he was the one who was wrong.
How could he not do it? As long as he was willing to muster up the courage to face the darkness, he would definitely be able to do it. Because he had not been excluded by the Apis Cube and the Pierre from the beginning, which showed that he was indeed qualified!
But it's still... hard to muster up that kind of courage.
It's so hard.
The sea was not as dreamy as he had imagined. During the previous voyages of the ship, he often opened the windows to look at the outside world. What he saw at that time was magnificence and splendor. Everything in the water was illuminated by the lights, with clear outlines. As long as he was careful not to look at the darkness in the distance, he would feel comfortable.
But when it was him who controlled the Apis Cube, when he immersed his consciousness in it, it seemed to spread to the periphery of the ship... like an invisible bubble wrapping around it, and he was about to... touch those dark shadows before the Pierre.
That is boundless terror.
It was pitch black and there was nothing. The more you concentrated, the more nervous you became. You might even be scared to death by a school of fish that suddenly appeared.
I definitely can't do it.
He thought so.
It has always been the case that pinning your hopes on me will only mess everything up... I'm just a piece of shit who's good at having fun.
"People who have children are generally not so cowardly."
A voice suddenly sounded beside me.
Teni looked up, his mind was blank.
It took him a while to remember that he probably, seemed, should, have a child.
The child that was taken away by Weiss...
Although he was just guessing, maybe it was all hidden in her mind and couldn't be seen, but why did she leave? There must be a sign or a reason...
Then it can only be a child.
With Vess's child...there's nothing wrong with saying he's the father.
Very suddenly, Teni felt that his mentality was a little different.
He had never before...had not been aware of this...of the change in his identity, ever.
Everyone kept calling him "Your Highness" and "Your Highness", and he was addicted to it. Of course, it certainly didn't sound as comfortable as "Your Highness the Prince", but so what?
Even if I'm a loser, no one can do anything to me. There are fewer and fewer people who care about me, even Alvin...
...I definitely don't have the face to see her.
If, before setting off, Teni still had the illusion that he could win his sister's heart through the performance of this action and let Alwin wait for him to return and marry him, then after knowing Ves-Bakinsa - knowing that the woman was contacting him with a purpose, his belief collapsed.
Of course, he didn't have the face to think about all that mess anymore...so some of the people he used to value and could use as emotional motivation left again.
There were not many of them to begin with, and basically only Alvin was left.
If even Alvin couldn't do it, then he felt that he really didn't care.
It was not until Ethan reminded him at this moment that he remembered and realized that it was not the case.
Yes... there are people who you should value and care about yourself.
Whatever the motive, whether it was a conspiracy or not, at least his identity had changed.
Will my baby be born in a year?
Did he know his father was a prince?
Will we have a chance to meet again in this life?
If he knew I was this kind of person...would he be sad?
This was a very straightforward and crude method... Ethan had no other choice.
I said a lot of things with the mentality of giving it a try, encouraging His Highness to cheer up. I thought it would not have any effect, but it seems that he really listened to me?
I was a little surprised because I saw the young man put his hand on the Apis Cube again.
Although the Pierre is currently under repair and cannot be moved, it is possible to familiarize ourselves with the operation in this way.
Ethan retreated quietly, knowing that he didn't need to do anything else.
As for Teni, his consciousness spread into the sea through the Apis Cube. He stared into the darkness, feeling and imagining the outline of a person.
Alvin...
What are you doing right now……
Chapter 81 Childhood Memories
In Tenize's memory, this sister has always been precocious.
The prince was also naughty in his childhood, just like the children of the poor. He, Naris, even Berentin and Gaunt, had often destroyed the vegetation in the palace yard when they were young, and had often been caught and spanked by the ladies-in-waiting.
If Vona, as a princess, also liked to play with them, which was unusual, then Alwin - everyone called her "Xilu" at that time - her behavior was too abnormal.
Whenever they were injured while wandering around in and outside the palace...meaning those harmless scrapes and falls, whenever they visited her during that period, she would always smile slightly and go back into the house to get the medicine box.
One by one, she would help them apply medicine and bandages, and then gently criticize them, saying that she thought this practice was dangerous.
Teni still remembers the gentle tone and soft touch. Thinking back on the feelings of others, Naris and the others should have had similar feelings.
But the one who was trapped the deepest was Turner.
After all, no one cares - children never care about such things. It's the same with classmates in school. They may have a quarrel with someone today, but they will forget about it in a few minutes. When they look back, they can see the two of them playing together happily. This kind of "confusion" can also be used in other places.
For example, his affection for Alvin and "Xilu".
The princes of Sara were allowed a childhood, but it was very short. It was not that the situation really did not allow them to indulge in pleasure, but in the case of unstable external situation and internal party divisions, this attitude would exacerbate the chaos.
They are role models... Regardless of whether they can do it or not, the citizens of Wayne Port will only feel at ease when they see their efforts, thinking, "Oh~ Even His Royal Highness the Prince is like this, so this country must be full of hope."
Isn’t this how people’s hearts are united?
These were the fragmentary words that Charuni said, but Teni could not remember them all, only had some vague impressions.
His focus is still on Alvin.
Because of her serious illness, her courtyard was under martial law. Officials and ministers often came to the palace, and they had only vaguely heard that there was such a delicate princess in the palace, and only a handful of people had actually seen her.
This was Charuni's protection for her. Now thinking about it, this protection measure also had the intention of keeping secrets, because the less contact, the less likely it was to discover the truth.
Therefore, it was quite difficult for the princes to go and see her. They had to report and get approval through formal channels, and the approval power was directly in the hands of the king. The old man would not sign the paper just because they "just wanted to see his sister", so most of them went to see her secretly.
They climbed over walls, climbed over yards...they even dug a tunnel on the other side of the wall just to see their sister. These half-grown kids thought of and did all kinds of stupid things for this purpose.
That was also a very happy memory. Tenny was not decadent at that time. He relied on his intelligence and did not fall behind in school courses. In the eyes of others, he was not distinguished from other princes, so he was justified to mix with his brothers and sisters, especially taking care of his two sisters.
He remembered that one day they caught a big black fish, the old man's favorite, in the garden pond and wanted to secretly find Alwyn to let the youngest sister who knew everything prepare the fish.
The fishing plan was proposed by Berentan, who was always dishonest and had a lot of weird ideas in his head. At that time, they were beaten by Charuni because they sneaked out to play, and Berentan proposed to "fight back and retaliate", and they all agreed very happily.
Naris was quick-witted and found the tools. It wasn't actually a long fishing rod, just a roll of usable line...Tenny remembered that he was the one who assembled this thing with the branches and wire, but it was Gunter who finally caught the fish.
Gunter...he has always been so stubborn.
They fished from morning till noon, and the theoretical time allowed for them to go missing was almost exhausted. Everyone was saying forget it and come back next time, but Gunter was the only one who insisted - because he had boasted about his fishing skills at the beginning.
Why doesn't this idiot understand...Tenni smiled bitterly. If you want to live well in this world, you can't be too proud...
That's roughly what happened. Vona didn't come that day, but this was a collective action. The more people involved, the more people would be punished if they were discovered, so they found Vona and said to her, "We want to find a little sister to grill fish, do you want to come?"... Vona agreed without hesitation.
She was rebellious at heart. Although she always pretended to be obedient, she was actually unwilling to obey many of the old man's orders... She was actually the most rebellious person among them during that period, but because she was a girl, the standards for her were indeed more relaxed.
Thinking of how their sudden visit scared Alvin, Teni smiled.
They were relatively familiar with each other only during that period - at least that was the case with everyone except him. He clearly remembered that later, due to their confused ideas and the establishment of their own ideals, they separated and went their own ways, never returning to that yard again.
He was the only one who would sneak back from time to time... But there was no need to think about this kind of thing, it would make him feel very uncomfortable.
He still tried to think of those pleasant memories, such as killing fish... Berentin, who claimed to be smart, came, but he didn't know anything at all. The first cut was too shallow, which angered the fish. He was hit on the nose by the tail and sat on the ground crying.
Naris held the fish down and called on others to help. Berentin was crying beside him. To Teni's surprise, only Gunter ran over to comfort him. Everyone else was busy catching fish, even Alwin just smiled faintly.
What was she thinking at that time?
The youngest sister... The reason the old man forbade others to contact her was that she was frail and sickly, and meeting others too often would be bad for both of them and her, as both sides would infect each other with germs.
In order to avoid infecting her with germs, they would take a shower before going, and everything has been fine.
But she was really amazing... Despite her fragile body, she was never weaker than them in the study of various subjects, and she was even well-rounded. She could compete with Naris in military affairs, with herself in painting, with Berentan in history, and with Vona in alchemy.
Only Gunter is the best at fighting, which is something difficult to compare. Others can only compare with her in one of their most outstanding qualities.
It was an incredible thing at the time, but now it seems quite normal.
Because she is Alwyn.
The descendant of the Holy Oak, the most orthodox of the orthodox. Her excellence was destined from the beginning, but it was her fragile physique that held her back.
She is always so humble. Whenever anyone says that they can't beat her in the course, she says that she stays in the house all day and studies in her free time.
This excuse...Tenny didn't believe it.
He could see that Naris didn't believe it either, but Berentin, Gaunt and Vona all believed it without a doubt. These three idiots had obvious jealousy and confusion in their tone when they spoke, but they immediately smiled after being comforted in this way. They were so childish and stupid that it was incomprehensible.
Alvin is so gentle.
She could understand them and see through their inner needs. They were clearly going to bring the fish to her for her to handle and cook, but in order to show off their abilities in front of their sister, the brothers started fighting over the fish.
Elwin did not stop them at this time. She had to wait until they had fought enough and made enough noise, and the fish had been chopped into pieces. Only then did she go up to clean up the mess silently, turning the ingredients that they all thought were wasted into the most delicious delicacy.
I think that's when I started to have feelings for her.
Thinking about it carefully, that was really the happiest memory of my childhood. Naris and Gunter were still there, Berentin hadn't become tactful, and Vona could still see his rebellious nature. Everyone gathered in the courtyard to grill fish, scramble for the grilled skewers, and while eating, they loudly told each other about their misdeeds. The whole courtyard was filled with joy.
But that was the last.
It was not known whether it was because of the freshly grilled fish that Alvin fell seriously ill. The matter was soon investigated, and Charuni got extremely angry, which was very rare, and scolded several people.
After that, Naris and Gunter went to the military camp.
They never held a party in that yard again.
Chapter 82: Wayne Storm
"Uh-huh?"
Opening her eyes from the darkness, a person sat up, revealing the graceful silhouette of a young girl.
The lights were turned on, and the tall head maid pushed the door open and came in. She raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the figure sitting up on the bed: "Your Majesty woke up really early today."
"I seem to be dreaming." Alvin stared blankly into space, "I dreamed of something that happened a long time ago..."
"This is inevitable." The head maid opened the wardrobe and took out a row of clothes and placed them in front of her. "As your experience grows, this kind of thing will only happen more and more... Come and choose what to wear today."
"This one." Alwin randomly selected a piece of emerald green, shiny material. He watched the head maid pick it out and shake it to arrange it. He suddenly asked her, "Chadai."
"His Majesty?"
"Have you ever had a nightmare?"
"Of course, there is no one in this world without dreams."
"But have you ever had a dream that was so vivid that you could recall every detail?"
"The deeper the nightmare, the clearer the details should be."
"But what if it was a beautiful dream?"
Cha Dai paused for a moment, tilted her head to look at the girl, and coughed: "That might be your illusion..."
"Theoretically, it is impossible to have such a dream because it is too fantastical. The research results of the dream weaver show that people will remember pain more deeply than happiness. People always quickly ignore their glorious side, but can remember a small embarrassing thing for a long time."
"I know this theory, but I really dreamed about it. I dreamed about every detail I can remember now. Do you think I would lie, Chadai?"
"Your Majesty certainly won't lie..." Cha Dai frowned, "I also... I am not qualified to ask Your Majesty to lie. Your Majesty doesn't need to ask me about this matter. I am not a scholar or expert in the field of dreams."
"I know." Alvin's tone suddenly became cheerful, "I just feel a little emotional and want to share it with you."
