Endless Silver Machine

Everyone was running around all day today and didn't get a good rest at all. Starting from Senior Lilith's home, meeting Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming Yiela and the Senate, in retrospect, it was indeed a very fulfilling and special day.

In the car that came to welcome everyone back, Wei Xi and Luo Luo couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep leaning on each other's shoulders. Lan Ming and Xia Luo will come back later because they still have some things to deal with. She has asked the head maid to take charge of the affairs in the castle.

Ling must have been very tired today, but she just leaned against the car window and looked at the night outside the window casually.

Aika has no interest in the night, but has accumulated many questions that she wants to know the answers to, all of which are related to the person looking at the night.

"You've been staring at me for a long time. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Aika was startled by the words she suddenly spat out.

When you are about to start a conversation, but the other person beats you to it, you will inevitably feel very embarrassed.

"Now that you find out, tell me!"

"Ah...um..."

This time, Ling simply let Aika go and moved her gaze to the window again as if she had no interest.

Aika didn't realize that what Ling was looking at was not the night outside the window, but the scenery reflected on the car window glass by the lights in the car. From there, the scene inside the car could be seen clearly, so Ling knew that Aika had been watching her.

"There's still a week before we go back. Just like Mr. Junius said, it's a rare time to come here and just have enough fun."

"You are quite optimistic. Obviously after playing, there is still such an important thing ahead of you."

"Weren't you the first to accept it at that time?"

"If even I hesitate, I don't know how long it will take you to decide."

"I'm not the indecisive person you think. It's just that if you consider a thing from many aspects, you will always be much safer."

"The world generally calls this 'indecision.'"

"Lolo is also a worried person like me. Is she also indecisive?"

"Tch, you actually brought Luo Luo out as a shield at this time..." Ling rolled her eyes at him, "Girls need to be more careful. Aika, you are a man. If you don't do things quickly, everyone around you will Influenced by you."

"You make it sound like you know more about men's ways of doing things than I do."

"Indeed, I know better than you."

"Is it possible..."

"Stop, it's probably not what you think."

"I haven't said anything yet."

"Let me talk about it first, don't worry about what experiences I have had." Ling looked away slightly, "The me now is the real me. No matter what happened in the past, it has nothing to do with the present."

"But your past is not something that can be discarded so easily."

Aika still remembers Ling's words in the Senate's audience hall. She once said that she would never forget her family. In her heart, this past has an irreplaceable weight. But now, she denies the past in front of Aika. This contradictory approach was somewhat incomprehensible to him.

"It's just a case-by-case discussion. I never said I wanted to abandon the past, but for me, the only thing left is the present, isn't it?"

Ling put her palms against the glass of the car window and closed her eyes.

"This is the first time I have said such sensational words... It's all because of your influence."

"Don't blame me for everything!"

"Don't you often say this kind of thing? You'll learn it naturally after listening to it."

"Well, my brother often says that."

Luoluo, who had fallen asleep, didn't know when he woke up.

"Sorry, we were too loud."

"It's okay," Luo Luo shook his head gently and let Wei Xi lie down on his lap, "And I also heard Sister Ling's true words."

"Just stating the facts..."

Ling turned her head guiltily. This small movement had completely exposed the fluctuations in her heart.

Luoluo untied Wei Xi's hair curls while she was sleeping. Until they returned to Lan Ming's castle, the three of them didn't say a word, just quietly enjoying the long-lost silence.

The maids who have been working in the castle all day also need to rest. There are only knights who occasionally patrol through the complex and intertwined corridors. Aika and the others were authorized by Lan Ming to visit the castle at will, so they would not be stopped and questioned if they walked around casually.

Even with such qualifications, it is impossible for everyone to really walk around in the castle of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Because the room was big enough, all the girls lived in one room. Aika sat alone in the luxurious room and couldn't find anything to do, so he stayed in the girls' room for a long time. He was kicked out of the room until Ling asked for a bath.

At this time, Aika was walking slowly on the empty corridor. Although he had just walked out and turned left to reach his room, Aika was not in the mood for the moment and fell directly on the bed. He couldn't fall asleep even if he lay down, so he boldly wandered around the castle.

There was no one walking around in the castle now, so Aika put his hands in his pockets so casually.

"Oh, Aika, haven't you rested yet?"

A figure suddenly walked out from the corner and said hello to him who was relaxed for a moment.

Aika, who was unprepared, shivered all over and quickly took his hand out of his pocket. After checking the figure in front of him again, he realized that the person in front of him was Lan Ming, who was still dressed in costume. Probably he had just come back from an important occasion and hadn't had time to change his clothes.

"Don't scare me, Your Highness Princess."

"I was shocked when I met you in a place like this."

Lan Ming blamed Aika, but there was a smile on his lips.

"Did you just come back?"

"That's right. I've almost forgotten all the things I talked about."

Lan Ming started to move, and Aika followed her unknowingly.

"It turns out that Miss Ling has experienced that kind of thing..."

"Um."

"You can't tell it from the appearance at all. He is obviously such a dazzling person..."

It turns out that Lan Ming bowed to Ling at that time just because she cooperated with the Senate. In fact, she didn't know the whole story at all. If you think about it this way, the nobles present probably don't know the truth either.

"Are you worried about Ling?"

"Because that kind of thing... it's impossible not to care about it after you know it..."

"That's true. But I think there is no need to worry about this matter. She and I met during that period. When we first met, she thought I was a member of the Holy See and stabbed me head-on with a dagger. .”

Lan Ming covered his mouth in slight surprise. She never thought that these four people, who were now so harmonious as family members, would still have such a bad encounter.

"Maybe it's because the clothes I was wearing at that time were very similar to the uniforms of the Holy See. It was inevitable that she would misunderstand me when she was angry."

"Then...Miss Wei Xi is also a member of the Holy See, and she directly participated..."

"There are indeed many stories between the two of them, but as you can see now, there is nothing to worry about."

"ha……"

Lan Ming found these four people more and more incredible. They were different from anyone he knew. There will be differences in each other's ideas, but in the end they can reach the same goal through different paths. In the royal family, the former is a common problem, but it cannot lead to the latter outcome. This is the happiness of an ordinary family, Lan Ming thought.

After going around several corners and walking up the curved stairs, the two of them came to a large door while talking. Charlotte was walking around in circles at the door. When she saw Aika and Lan Ming chatting and laughing, she quickly strode over.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming Yiela, could you please tell me before you act alone in the future? Not only do I not know where you have gone, but I have not responded to your PDA text messages. You have to know that if I We haven’t found you yet, so we need to urgently summon the entire Knight Order.”

Lan Ming was forced back step by step by Xia Luo.

"Okay, okay, now I'm back, aren't I..."

It seemed that she also discovered her carelessness.

"Also, Mr. Aika." Charlotte's target suddenly turned to Aika, who was watching leisurely. "Please don't be so close to Her Highness the Princess in the castle. It will have a bad influence on other people."

"We just bumped into each other in the corridor by chance. It's not what you think."

"Now that you have met Her Highness the Princess alone, you should immediately escort her back to her room."

"So isn't this sent back?"

"It's been an hour since Her Highness the Princess disappeared from the hall. Is this journey so long?"

"An hour? We only walked for about ten minutes..."

Aika looked at Lan Ming doubtfully, her smile looked very forced.

"Because I had been holding back for too long in the Senate, I went to the castle stairs to get some wind..."

"This has nothing to do with me, right?"

Aika spread her hands towards Charlotte.

"Aika, this is too much!"

Lan Ming snorted unhappily, looking a little cute like this.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Aika, please come back. I will take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Charlotte slightly emphasized the last two words.

Then what happened behind that door, Aika, who was shut out, didn't know.
