The sudden change of heart disturbed everything in the pavilion, and I had no chance to argue before I was overpowered by the frantic rush of the guards, and was captured with my hands bound, and the only sound in my ears was the furious roar of His Majesty the King.

　　Just when things seemed to have gotten out of hand, a gentle and calm voice suddenly eased the tense atmosphere in the room.

　　“Please stop. Gentlemen, would you please calm down? General Farrell is a valiant figure of Alibda, I’m sure he means no harm, there must be some hidden agenda in all this, can you all give him a chance to explain?”

　　Without those words, I probably would have been dragged down and charged with a crime. The moment I heard it, my whole body shook, not only for the statement that seemed like the dawn of life, but also because the familiar voice resonated with my memories.

　　As if someone had signalled, the armed guards holding me in place released their grip. I regained my freedom and rolled over from the ground, searching for the source of the voice, and then, my eyes widened as I stared involuntarily in a certain direction, trying not to let my emotions show on my face.

　　“General Farrell, what is going on here? Can you please explain?”

　　Surrounded by a group of pretty female officials, a gorgeous and elegant beauty appeared in front of the eyes, but she was seen to have a delicate and elegant face, as if she were a fairy descending from the earth, which was exciting.

　　Full head of green silk pulled into a high phoenix bun, with a five phoenix hanging beads of silk hairpin, simple and vulgar, head wearing eight treasures to save beads of forehead ornaments, in the middle of the moon beads hanging in her eyebrows, and the two curved eyebrows reflect each other. Bright eyes in the waves of light flow, a smile up, jade cheeks next to the smile eddy is intoxicating, agar nose jade rubbing, Zhu lips first break a line, revealing the white teeth between them as if braided shells broken jade, flickering with the crystal light.

　　Wearing a large red tight jacket with a gold phoenix, a light green colourful silk coat, the lower body is a light greyish green, decorated with countless emerald green small flowers of plain spring silk floor-length skirt, the skirt is tied with a tapestry of silk peyote, along with a lift of the hand, a throw, beads ringing with jade.

　　Slender body, delicate curves, lotus steps, curling, swaying, the end of the ceremonial, magnificent posture, more unforgettable is that she contains the spring powder face of the trace of a faint smile, through her holy and dignified charming temperament, no wonder there was a poet exclaimed: in the face of such a smile, the sun will also lose its heat.

　　When I came into contact with those starry eyes, my mind forgot everything for a split second, and I just wanted to rush over and say what I had been wanting to say, but before I could move, a figure appeared in my line of sight.

　　It was a man as majestic as a lion, his blonde hair radiating heat in the sunlight, a golden sword dangling at his waist, and a steady stride reminiscent of a beast in its prime.

　　It was such a man who stood beside her, the two of them smiling and looking at each other, reaching out together to shake hands, and the feeling that flowed out of them was as if a pair of suns had appeared in the sky, making it impossible for creatures on the ground to look at them squarely in the eye.

　　I just felt a bitter lump in my throat, deaf to all the sounds around me, forgetting that I was in danger, and just staring straight at these two.

　　Staring at the President and his wife of the Confederation of the Canary Blossom with a strange look in their eyes was another offence of great disrespect. In hindsight, I was lucky, because I heard that His Majesty the King had already ordered me to be arrested and imprisoned, and the armed guards had grabbed me and were about to pull me in, but if it wasn’t for the timely help of a nobleman, I would have been unaware of the fact that I was being killed on the spot.

　　“Stop!”

　　Two cold words, not very loud, but causing those present to look sideways to see an armed guard leaning against the perimeter fall with a muffled grunt, and a pair of black and white, thick-soled leather boots stepping in slowly.

　　Firstly, there was this pair of leather boots, followed by a large white ceramic wine pot, which was reflected in people’s eyes. When the crowd followed the golden silk tie decorated with jadeite and topaz, trying to confirm the appearance of the owner of the wine pot, they could only see the bright red tunic fluttering in the wind, and a face of vicissitudes of life that was mostly covered by the lapel.

　　Carrying a huge black sword on his shoulder, the occasional gaze under the sunglasses contained an incomparable majesty, he stepped in slowly with dashing but steady steps, each step was very light, but the leaves on the ground made a “rustling” sound, and along with his steps, they fluttered and swirled, and he appeared to have a kind of indescribable and outstanding style, which oppressed the hearts of everyone around him, making everyone lose their concentration. Pressure in the surrounding everyone’s heart, so that all the people are lost in thought, until he stood beside me, and only then the armed guards reacted.

　　“Hey! Who are you? This is ……”

　　Just before he opened his mouth, that guard, who did not know whether he was from Solancia or Rosetta, swallowed the next half of his words as soon as he made eye contact with him, obviously such a tall man, but he looked like a defeated dog with his tail tucked between his legs, and his whole aura instantly shortened by half a section; then he raised his forefinger, pointing at the guard, but his eyes were straight forward, as if this guard was not worth looking at at all, and when he pressed his forefinger downward, that guard immediately fell heavily to his knees. When he pressed his index finger downwards, the guard immediately fell to his knees, unable to make any sound.

　　Just with his eyes, he shocked and worshipped a good fighter, this hand skill, not only next to me was awakened, all the people present were affected by him, the original chaotic scene, now all quiet.

　　It’s strange, Uncle should not know martial arts, but he looks like a different person at this moment, and the aura emanating from his body is ten times stronger than any expert I’ve ever seen.

　　Previously, I heard Uncle Fu say that there are some very clever cheaters in the casino, who know how to disguise the momentum, obviously is unbeatable, but can pretend to be a martial arts master’s pace and momentum; obviously in the heart is already so scared that you want to faint, but the cold murderous spirit radiating out of the eyes, but it can make any masters to be deterred. I didn’t believe it at the time, but now I can’t believe it even if I want to.

　　This thought was not unfounded, for no one but me would know, and when Mao Yan’an clapped one hand on my shoulder, the cold sweat that rose from his palm immediately dyed my clothes, making me understand the tension in his heart.

　　“Judging before trial is not for the wise, you are not ordinary people, why do you follow this foolish behaviour? If it were not for this young man’s bravery, not a single person here would be able to leave this place alive today.”

　　Mao Yan’an said, describing what had just happened. In order to smooth out this embarrassing scene, of course, there are a lot of additives, as for my risky, fearless, sworn to protect His Majesty the King and the spirit of the visiting guests, but also has been exaggerated tenfold, but also thanks to his usual writing as a sideline, a lie beautifully said to the extent that I do not know if those dead meat skewers will get up and wail.

　　As I watched from the side, I admired the uncle’s skill, because the way he spoke was completely different from his usual gabble, as if he was completely in tune with the role he was playing, bringing the character of “Ou Lun” to life, and his wording was extremely simple and concise, with just two or four words in each sentence, but his words were heavy and powerful, making people willing to believe in his words. It makes you want to believe in his words, and you can’t even imagine that they are lies.

　　Naturally, I was not so much as a block of wood on the sidelines, but I put on a sad and indignant expression, as well as a faint sadness, so that people would understand that I had indeed been wronged. What’s more coincidental is that the Scimitar Clerk who killed the group of assassins was actually an expert of the Golden Canary Flower Federation, and confirmed Uncle’s words after rushing to this place.

　　When Uncle had finished what he had to say, the crowd did it again, applauding unanimously, praising me for my bravery in fighting off the assassin, for my great game of trapeze in the sky, and for my narrow escape from death in the line of duty.

　　“Good! I have heard of your great name for a long time in the Golden Bird Flower Federation, but I didn’t expect that I would owe you an ambulance before I even met you in person, the strongest guard in history, his name is true.”

　　With a long laugh, Ryan Buffett took a giant step, lined up the guards in front of him, and extended his hand this way.

　　“The Hundred Mile Male Lion, indeed, has a unique aura and style.”

　　Mao Yan’an said faintly, and then stretched out his hand. As a matter of fact, the grand president of the Golden Bird Flower Federation, equals to the most powerful person on the earth, even our king’s majesty endeavours to flatter, uncle responded so coldly, it’s simply a great disrespect, but the so-called heroes and heroines love this set of things, when the two of them shook their hands, the applause of the whole room resounded crazily, it was only me who laughed in my heart.

　　As for His Majesty the King, who not long ago roared angrily and swore that he would put me to death, he flipped his face faster than a book, and with an expression as if he were in springtime, he loudly expressed that he was glad that the country had produced such a talented man, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and that he would definitely give me an increase in rank and title.

　　The repeated changes in the officialdom is so fast, it is so ridiculous, I have long been accustomed to it, so I have no reaction to all these, and after taking a deep breath, I forcefully suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, and walked towards the front …… as if she were a goddess, and walked over quickly.

　　Though briefly, as the two of us grew closer, I did have the illusion that it was as if all the gulfs no longer existed, returning to the exciting mood I had twelve years ago when Sister Tsukizakura drove up to the Jennings’ residence every morning.

　　Unfortunately, this feeling lasted too short, as the eight female officers soon stopped in front, preventing me from approaching any further. Looking at their agile movements, they were all well trained in martial arts, and if I didn’t know better, a clash of force would have ensued.

　　Unable to advance any further, I could only let my eyes take the place of my feet, and she, who bore the sight, smiled elegantly and nodded her head in salutation.

　　“General Farrell, you’ve done a great job this time, I’m very honoured, thank you.”

　　To be able to have the first lady of the Golden Bird Flower Federation personally praise her, this should be the supreme honour of our military generals, but why do I feel no joy, I just stood still and watched as she slowly left, surrounded by her female officers.

　　Twelve years apart is enough to change too many things.

　　What I want is not a long goodbye like this.

　　Merit and promotion, something every soldier dreams of, has lost its thrill in my case.

　　After stopping the group of assassins, His Majesty the King promised to move the medals to me, and as for the work of tracking down where the assassins came from, it was Leng Linglan’s responsibility, except that unless it was found out that the assassins were sent by the Black Dragon Society, the matter would only be left unsettled, because no matter which country the culprit’s name was pointed to, it would cause this talk to collapse.

　　This kind of long goodbye was already too much for me, so I was not looking forward to the next meeting at all. Therefore, for two consecutive days, I fought for the unappealing patrol work, giving up the opportunity to get along with those big shots face to face, and took the initiative to take up the task of patrolling and guarding the periphery of the venue, and I was so diligent that people on the other side of the street thought that I had changed my nature.

　　On His Majesty’s side, I told him that I had fought the Ishtar to the death and slaughtered their Great Spirit Witch, and that if I met up with those Ishtar dogs, it might have a bad effect on them. His Majesty thought highly of my argument and granted my request.

　　Mao Yan’an said that the important representative of Ishtar, Narcissus, one of the seven famous flowers, Velvet Narcissus, would arrive at Sara three days late because of some delays, so the dignitaries of various countries would have to wait for the past few days, organise some get-togethers, dinners and hunts, and get in touch with each other.

　　Standing on the heights and looking down, I’ve had a few chances to see Tsukizakura-san from afar.

　　The distance is really too far, and my eyesight is not very good, I can only see a blurred dressy back, just so, followed by I turned my head, my heart is in turmoil, do not dare to look at one more glance, the degree of wretchedness and shamefulness, even I can not believe it myself.

　　Mao Yan’an, on the other hand, participated in almost the entire event from the bottom, and thanks to his ease of handling, not only did President Lane have a good conversation with him, but none of the guests of honour even suspected his identity. Of course, this is also his cleverness, because with his current neutral status, even the most conceited martial artists will not go to him to challenge him and spoil the overall atmosphere, and purely compared to the verbal skills, there are really not many people in the world is the uncle’s opponent.

　　I’m just puzzled, in the Canary Flower Federation, Mao Yan’an was considered a well-known figure back then, but President Lane seems to have completely disowned him, so I really don’t know what kind of attire he was doing back then. However, having been used to seeing his distinctly different temperament in different attire, this doesn’t seem so strange.

　　This undesirable middle-aged also did not have any good intentions, every time in front of me, as if relieved, completely not see that kind of intimidating calmness, one after another bragged about the beauty of Lady Moon Cherry like a fairy, the ambassadors from various countries are all colourful, sighed not to be in vain.

　　“Aiya, it is a pity that you do not appear, Lady Moon Cherry has been asking for the past few days, where has General Farrell, the most juvenile hero of Ali Buda, gone? Every time you ask someone not to, you will show a disappointed expression, alas, virtuous nephew ah virtuous nephew, you this is really ……”

　　“Uncle, just say it, why are you still whining? Don’t you think I’m annoying enough?”

　　“Hey, I am deliberately imitating the voice of Lady Moon Cherry for you to listen to, so that you can comfort the pain of lovesickness ah, virtuous nephew, uncle I am a man who has been there, I tell you ah, the men in this world are ……”

　　Being pestered by Mao Yan’an would really be endless, so my coping strategy was also extremely simple, which was to immediately snatch a bunch of sketch scrolls out of his arms, fold them over several times and then tear them into shreds and sprinkle them outwards.

　　“Ah! My life! My painting! You senseless devil ……”

　　That’s all there is to it, and while the art maniac was chasing confetti haphazardly through the air and coming up to the stairs, I was kind enough to add a kick from behind, sending the noisy, delinquent middle-aged man tumbling down the steps, and there was silence.

　　I don’t know how long this dreary atmosphere will last. After more than a year of wandering around in the southern barbarians, although it was thrilling, the feeling of freedom is really not comparable to staying in Sara as an idle official, and I’m thinking of applying for another transfer to help His Majesty the King in his treasure hunt when the peace talks are over. With the previous record of offering treasure, this request should be an easy success.

　　If you can by the way to get a large sum of money for action, that would be even more ideal, many trackers in the search for treasure, but also by the way to do goods business, buy low sell high, after a few trips to get rich, I can be in the search for treasure at the same time, but also make a similar business, how to look at it is more than the official corruption proper.

　　In the past two days, my country is negotiating with Solanthia to confirm the peace pact between the two countries, hoping to finalise the alliance before the arrival of the Ishtar emissary, so as to save the two major enemy countries from coming together and causing more trouble.

　　The talks had nothing to do with me, so of course I went home early and went to bed, except that there was a bit of hesitation about which way to go back to bed.

　　Should I take a shot at Ozzy’s soft palms? Or a fragrant milk bath with Asuka?

　　For a male, both options are so tantalisingly difficult to choose between.

　　It would be great if I could bring both Asuka and Weizhi with me, but that’s not possible at the moment, and even if I’m willing to bring Weizhi back to the Jennings’ mansion, it’ll still take some effort to figure out how to deal with these two women and securely engage in a trio of sleeping together.

　　Suddenly, I remembered that Odaishi had said that she was going to concentrate on making magic robes for the next few days, and that it would require some process similar to purification and fasting, in other words, I couldn’t bother her at this time, so I could only honestly return to Jenn’s house.

　　It is already dark, there is not much home near the Earl’s House, every time a person went back in the past, the road felt lonely, I can not wait to be developed early, when I went home followed by a large series of guards, front and back, there is no longer the problem of loneliness.

　　However, today seemed to be a little different because I could see, from a distance, what appeared to be someone sitting on the door step, and judging by the physical appearance, a young woman.

　　It’s weird, ever since I met Star Mae, I was forced to stop my past debauchery at Sarah’s, in other words, there shouldn’t be any more women coming to my door to ask for money for an abortion, and now out of the blue, a woman sits at the doorway, clearly waiting for me, could it be a female assassin sent by an enemy country?

　　As I got closer, I realised that she had fallen asleep sitting on the steps. With such a silly style, and with that mask on her face, I instantly knew what to expect.

　　Previously, I had told Asuka that it would be better to keep her than a bitch, and that she would even run to the entrance of the alley to greet me when I came home, and at that time, Asuka was happy to say that she could also wait for me to come home every day as long as I liked, but I didn’t want her to be seen by people, and to let Leng Linglan know things she shouldn’t, so I vetoed this request.

　　The ninny knew enough to remember my instructions to put on the mask before coming out to meet me, and even though her stupidity in falling asleep on the door step was a huge disgrace to my Farrell family, I still decided to give her a small reward.

　　Night shrouded around, Jennifer near no home, I looked to the left and right, half of the damn passers-by are not, even if the mask, but also do not have to worry about Asuka’s appearance to people see. Confirmed this point, my guts are also bigger, a close to the past, embracing the jade slender willow waist, raised his hand to remove the mask, honestly and nonchalantly on the kiss.

　　“Uh-oh ……”

　　Fervent kiss, immersed in the beauty of the sleeping princess awakened, a little surprise and resistance is due action, within the expected, so that always enjoy the strong posture of my pleasure, forcibly suppressed her resistance, wantonly sucked her soft and moist lips, enjoying the wonderful taste of this kiss.

　　As for the familiarity of each other’s flesh, Xue and I are considered to be an “old married couple”, usually as long as I want, how often do I have to get her consent? So although she in my kiss, can not stop twisting the body, issued a small low whimper, but I completely ignore, just by her small movements, to double the stimulation of their own desire for conquest, not only on the mouth of the painful kisses, and strive to try to open the two tightly closed lips, to suck and tease the daughter of the tongue, and even my hands have not been idle, caressing the slender waist, quickly and smoothly up to the touch, through a single thin shirt, hold and pinch rounded tits.

　　“Woo hmmm ……”

　　Chest heavy ground was attacked, this time the shock is not small, has been firmly held lips immediately separated and lost, was my smooth long drive into, sucking her mouth of the fragrant honey, teasing the pink tongue, kissed a solid, but I was in the moment of this imminent total victory, suddenly stopped, stunned at the just now felt the abnormalities.

　　Through my shirt, I could feel the perfect shape of the peaks in the palm of my hand, firm and high, as if they were a full, ripe bamboo shoot just waiting to be eaten by its owner. However, despite their excellent shape and feel, they were not even close to huge breasts, and could not even be grasped by a man; in other words, they could not be Asuka.

　　I was taken aback, and my heart screamed furiously that it was not good, because I really could not guess the identity of this uninvited female guest, and in the end, I could only harden my heart, terminate this wrong kiss that had become incredibly stiff, and pull away to try to see her face in the darkness.

　　The line of sight was unclear, even though I leaned so close, I still felt that the scene in front of me was blurred. She who was forcibly kissed by me, after I retreated, but did not look frightened, but instead stretched out her snow-white palms and gently caressed my cheeks.

　　Such an intimate gesture disturbed me, because not only was it perverse, it also gave me a feeling of undue familiarity.

　　“You ……”

　　“So old and still so naughty, making jokes like that as soon as we meet, your nature hasn’t changed at all.”

　　The soft voice confirmed the suspicion in my heart, and I stared incredulously, unable to comprehend why the honourable woman who was the First Lady of the Golden Sparrow Federation would appear here alone.

　　“Heh, little brother, how long are you going to look like that? I’m tired of sitting here, won’t you invite me to have a seat in the Jenn’s house?”

　　Even in such an awkward situation, she still looked so elegant, with a gentle smile and trusting eyes, not a hint of a flustered gesture could be seen. The embarrassing incident just now was as if it had never happened at all, making me not quite sure for a while, suspecting that I was dreaming, or else how could such an unreasonable thing happen.

　　“Why don’t you get up? Kids can’t disobey their sister or they’ll turn into bad kids.”

　　A delicate jade hand pinched my nose and gently shook it, just like what had been played out in front of this door many times years ago, Sister Tsukizakura, in her unique way, closed the distance between us and eased the atmosphere.

　　It wasn’t until then that I noticed that Moon Cherry sister was wearing a cloak in addition to her mask, obviously unwilling to be recognised, and this was moreover really not a good place to talk. Even though I still had a lot to say, I had to open the door immediately and let her go in first.

　　On the one hand, this is also a test to see if Sister Moon Cherry is willing to enter the Jennifer’s Mansion, or if she simply wants to leave immediately after saying a few words to me at the door. Different attitudes, releasing different messages, this is something I want to try and catch.

　　Moon Cherry looks like she didn’t think about it at all, as soon as she saw the door open, she lifted up the hem of her skirt, snatched into the Jennifer’s Mansion, turned back to me and smiled, and even made a gesture of “please come in”. This kind of action, not to mention not her usual first lady feeling, even has become a woman’s feeling is not, brisk pace, with her that day in the body of a young girl to leave the Lord’s residence, not the slightest difference.

　　“So nostalgic ah …… It’s been almost twelve years, this place hasn’t changed at all, the fallen leaves in the front yard are still all swept under the maple tree next to it, Uncle Fu he hasn’t retired yet.”

　　“No, the house is really not the same without him, big or small.”

　　“Ah, look, that break in the window, you used to break it by throwing a stone at it, I can’t believe it’s still there.”

　　“…… It’s not like we want to keep it, the House is chronically underfunded, so we have to keep the broken window.”

　　Like a wanderer returning to his hometown, and like a butterfly staying among the flowers, Moon Cherry half lifted her skirt and ran around in the Jennifer’s Mansion, touching the pillars to look for traces that had been left on them; leaning on the window sill at one time, looking out at the scenery, and from time to time letting out a low cry of surprise.

　　Seeing her so happy, the back of the accompanying tour I was confused, remembering that day in the garden, she to me to observe the etiquette but cold attitude, and then compared to the present appearance, I really do not know why sister moon cherry came? And how to position my relationship with her?

　　During all these years, the light of this moment had appeared in my dreams more than once, but I knew the difference between reality and dreams, and now that the dream was presented without a trace of difference, I felt nothing but intense unreality.

　　This confusion was not able to be hidden from the jade’s wise heart, and just as we wandered from the front to the tiny pond garden in the backyard, Moon Cherry stood at the edge of the pond, leaning over the railing, and suddenly fell silent.

　　“Sis …… First Lady of Tsukizakura, you ……”

　　“Little brother, there’s no need to be so polite, sister knows that you have something you want to ask, now I’m right in front of you, so if you have anything to say, say it directly to sister.”

　　At first, not knowing how to take it, I had to use such a raw form of address to ensure safety.

　　At that moment, I don’t know if I’m misreading it or if there’s really a flash of disappointment sweeping across Tsukizakura-san’s face, yet she’s still smiling and making her stance clear with words like these.

　　“Sister …… I don’t understand why you appointed me in charge of security.”

　　“Hmm? Aren’t you willing to protect your sister, little brother?”

　　“It’s not that, I just think …… it’s a bit weird ……”

　　I don’t know how to properly express what I mean, but it feels really good to be able to call her “Sis” like this again.

　　“I would have thought you’d be happy, don’t boys love to grab the chance to build a career, make a martial honour and rise to a higher position? You’re the youngest and most distinguished military officer in Alibda today, and this opportunity to move up to the next level, don’t you like it?”

　　Tsukisakura’s words were always so gentle, so she didn’t ask me, “Is this wrong?” but asked, “Don’t you like it?”, and it was this kind of thoughtfulness that made everyone in Sara like her.

　　“But that day in the garden, you were acting so strangely, as if I were a stranger.”

　　“Fool, it’s a social occasion there, the nobles and dignitaries of a dozen countries are there, even if my sister is happy in her heart, can she go over to hug you and touch your hair?”

　　Tsukiakari shook her head and laughed, “When you grow up, you should learn a little social etiquette, are you usually this reckless?”

　　“Social Etiquette …… But, I don’t like the look of this.”

　　“Hmm?”

　　“I don’t like the look of this. Sister is sister, why did the whole thing change all of a sudden? His Majesty the King and Cold Stink …… and the Second Princess are all the same, for the sake of politeness, calling you the First Lady of Moon Cherry, Sister, aren’t you their daughter and sister? Just for the sake of manners, to treat you like a stranger, I feel so hypocritical and disgusting every time I hear it ……”

　　It’s not an illusion, while saying these words, I really saw a trace of loneliness, gloom, flashing through Sister Moon Cherry’s eyes, emboldening me to keep my words going.

　　“If doing such a thing is etiquette, then I’d rather be an ill-mannered mangaka, at least I’d feel much better in my heart, and to me, you’re Tsukisakura-sama, and I don’t want to call you by anything other than that.”

　　These words made even my own heart skip a beat, after all, twelve years is too long a time, I’m not sure just how much Moon Cherry sister has changed? How exactly did these words sound to her?

　　This uneasiness lasted for a while, and suddenly, I saw a very touching and heartfelt warm smile appear on Yue Sakura-san’s face.

　　“Thank you, and I only came here today to tell you one thing.” As elegant as a fluttering swan, Moon Cherry raised her snow-white, soft jade hand and softly said, “Little brother, sister is back.”

　　With an unspeakable excitement, I reached out my hand and held it tightly with her, feeling the long-lost heat burning in each other’s palms.
