Near noon, Xi Mo learned that Kong Qing was going to go out alone with Mitchell, and his smile instantly fell.

He said with great reluctance: "Master, are you really not going to take Xi Mo with you?"

His dark eyes were filled with a thin layer of mist, and they were filled with tears. He looked so pitiful.

There was no other way, so Kong Qing had no choice but to nod: "Well, His Highness is accompanied by personal guards, so I don't want to take you with me..."

Hearing this, a drop of clear tears fell directly from the young man's eyes, and his voice was filled with tears: "He asked you not to take it, do you really mean not to take it?!"

"Ximo has always been by your side. Can you really adapt to it alone?"

He asked while sobbing, crying until the pear blossoms were wet with rain, and the little pearls kept falling out.

Kong Qing: "..."

Oh.

What a super clingy dog!

She smiled and raised her hand to stroke Xi Mo's head: "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will be back before sunset, please don't cry anymore, okay?"

The young man suddenly raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "...really?"

Kong Qing: "Really, when have I ever lied to you?"

Xi Mo sniffed hard, raised her hand to wipe away her tears with her sleeves, held back the tears and reluctantly let go of the hand holding her skirt.

Hiccups and trembling body turned around: "You go, you must come back before sunset!"

Kong Qing: "Okay, wait for me at home~"

"..."

Xi Mo said nothing, but watched Kong Qing leave quietly.

He kept standing on the window sill in the corridor, watching the carriage go further and further until it turned into a small black dot and disappeared.

As soon as Kong Qing left, the boy turned into a wife-watching stone and stood on the window sill looking out.

After an unknown amount of time, Judy came over and asked him with a strange look: "Ximo, what are you doing standing here?"

Ximo: "..."

He ignored Judy and stood still like a sculpture, motionless.

It was so quiet that even the ups and downs of breathing were not noticeable.

Judy: "..." OK.

Seeing that he ignored her, Judy was already used to it, so she looked away and walked away.

As soon as she left, the entire corridor fell into silence again, and there was no other sound except the wind...

After knowing each other for so many years, this is almost the first time that Mitchell and Elise go out alone.

He was like a young boy in love who didn't know what to do to make her happy.

In order to make her relax, Mitchell withdrew his guards and walked into the market with her like ordinary people.

Both sides of the market are filled with various shops and pedestrians coming and going. Everyone has bright smiles on their faces and seems to be very satisfied with their current life.

It must be said that the Olesas Empire was governed very well by the emperor.

The country is strong and the people are peaceful, which is extremely rare in the entire continent.

Kong Qing still admires this.

While walking, she suddenly stopped in front of a cake shop and stared at the sweet cakes inside.

It looks pretty good, and her little puppy will probably like it...

Seeing her lost in thought, Mitchell thought she wanted to eat and immediately walked in.

The doorbell rang for a while, and not long after, he walked out carrying a wrapped cake.

Mitchell: "The store said that chocolate flavored cake is their specialty, so I bought this."

His eyes were always as gentle as water, and his tone when he spoke was even more gentle and doting to the extreme.

The cake was packed so tightly that you couldn't see what was inside, but it still had an extremely sweet smell.

Taking the cake handed over by Mitchell, Kongqing's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Thinking of Xi Mo's surprised expression when he received the cake, Kong Qing couldn't help but curled his lips.

When Mitchell saw it, he thought she really liked her. He felt embarrassed immediately and his cheeks felt slightly hot: "No, you're welcome."

He looked around and then pointed to a place: "There are seats over there, let's go over there and eat."

Kong Qing followed his hand and frowned slightly: "Ah? I'm not ready to eat."

Mitchell: "Huh?"

Kong Qing: "Can you ask your personal guard to come out?"

Mitchell: "Okay..."

Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, Mitchell still raised his hand to signal the guards to come over.

After a while, a brown-haired man in casual clothes came over.

He gave a simple salute: "Your Highness, what do you have to tell me?"

Kong Qing took the initiative to step forward, smiled slightly and said, "I have something to ask you."

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then asked her respectfully: "May I ask what I can do for you, dear Miss Elise."

Kong Qing stuffed the cake into his arms with a bright smile: "Can you please send this back to the Duke's Palace and hand it over to Ximo personally?"

The guard glanced at Mitchell first, and nodded immediately after receiving his permission: "Okay, Miss Elise, I will do it now!"

Kong Qing: "Thank you~"

After watching him leave, Kong Qing smiled more easily and continued to stroll around with her skirt in hand.

Mitchell followed her with a slightly complicated expression.

After a while, he asked her: "Why did you give the cake to that slave?"

Kong Qing: "That was originally bought for him."

Mitchell: "Huh?"

Kong Qing: "Xi Mo has been in a bad mood recently. I heard that sweets can make people happy."

Hearing what she said, Mitchell suddenly felt disgusted, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of vinegar.

His tone was sour: "You are so kind to him."

So envious.

Even a humble slave can be cared for like this by her...

Kong Qing smiled and did not continue to answer.

At noon, they randomly found a restaurant to eat.

Although the food cooked in ordinary restaurants is not as delicious as the food in the palace and the Duke's Palace, it has an indescribable feeling, and both Kong Qing and Mitchell like it.

After lunch, Kong Qing felt that time was almost up and wanted to go back early.

So he smiled and said to Mitchell: "Your Highness, I'm a little tired, why not just come here today?"

"Ah?" Mitchell was obviously stunned, his eyes full of disappointment, "But we haven't gone boating yet..."

Boating was the only thing he could think of to do to get up close and personal with Kong Qing.

Kong Qing frowned, and just as he was about to excuse himself by saying that the weather was too hot, he noticed that there was a gust of dark clouds floating not far away.

The clouds won't rain at first glance, they will only block the scorching sun.

She had to change her words temporarily: "But I'm really tired and my feet are sore..."

Although they had only been out for less than three hours, they had been walking all the time, so it was inevitable that their feet would feel sore.

Mitchell pursed her thin lips into a straight line. Although she was reluctant to give up, she still nodded: "Okay, then today..."

"Elise——!"

Before he finished speaking, an inexplicable excited voice suddenly came from behind him.

Kong Qing looked up and saw Yuna running towards them.

Yuna's expression was undoubtedly excited, and her blond hair was left far behind as she ran.

By the time she ran up to Kong Qing, she was already panting from exhaustion. Before she could calm down, she noticed that Mitchell was also there.

She quickly blushed and saluted: "Yu, Yuna has met His Highness Mitchell!"

She had only seen Kong Qing before, and had no idea that Mitchell was also present. She was so embarrassed and angry that she was sweating all over her head.
