Avril did not realize that her heart was being captured.

She likes the feeling of being with Gong Hao, and her emotions change because of him. This is the first boy she cares about, and will care about his thoughts, his feelings, laugh for him, and shed tears for him.

Her emotions fluctuated and fluctuated because of him, completely subject to the blonde boy.

She thought it was friendship because he was her only friend.

But Gong Hao knew that Avril's feelings for him had far exceeded his friends' scope.

Although she is a noble princess, the girl's heart is lonely, and she has never had a person who can rely on psychologically. She can believe, rely on, and be fascinated by it.

In Avril's heart, Gong Hao is like the best combination of a father, brother and lover. Although he is a low status, he is a person who can rely on. She can tell his thoughts, and the other party will listen quietly.

Sometimes Gong Hao would tell her some stories.

So Avril would be amazed, Oh my God, how could there be so many stories in his mind? And they were all so wonderful and moving.

He is like a bard, with countless stories in him and always so philosophical.

"... The king said to the messenger, this war has consumed a lot of power for my country, and you must pay compensation. So the arrogant messenger replied: Yes, Your Majesty, we will compensate you for the land. Then the messenger took out a piece of animal skin and said, "We will compensate you as big as this piece of animal skin. This is a very great humiliation for the king, but at that time, the beautiful and wise queen of the king smiled and said, Oh, is that true? Then I want to thank your country for its generosity. Then guess what she did?"

"What did it do?" Avril asked.

"She picked up the skin and cut the skin into thin, long ropes with scissors. Then she tied all the ropes together and used it to wrap the other country a big place."

"Oh my god, she's so smart."

"Okay, the story is over, my little princess, it's time for you to go to bed."

"I want to listen to one more." Avril said with her big eyes flashing.

Gong Hao scratched his scalp with some distress: "Well...what else do you want to hear?"

"How many more do you have? I want to hear it."

"Wow, that's more. My left hand holds one thousand and one story, and my right hand holds more. How about I tell you the story of Aladdin's magic lamp?"

"That's been heard." Avril lay on the gorgeous ivory bed, leaning against a soft little round pillow, with long hair spread out, and on the brocade stool next to him were two bowls of desserts sent by the servants.

One bowl is for yourself, and the other bowl is for Gong Hao.

The night was already dim, and the lights in the room were still shining. The little princess was fascinated by the story and refused to let Gong Hao leave.

"What other stories do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear the story of the prince and the princess, it's a romantic one."

"Okay, then why don't I tell you a Cinderella story?"

"OK."

After Cinderella's story was finished, Gong Hao told her another story about Snow White and Seven Dwarves.

God knows that His Highness, this little princess, has never heard so many interesting and moving stories that he becomes more and more excited as he hears it, and he is reluctant to sleep.

"I want to listen to another one." This sentence was the most common sentence she said tonight.

"This is the last story, you have to go to bed after listening to it." This is the one Gong Hao told the most tonight.

"Then, I'll tell you another story about Sleeping Beauty. If you promise to be obedient, I will tell you the story of Troy, the story of beasts and beauty, the story of the Wizard of Oz, and the story of Alice in Wonderland, so many, how about it?"

"Okay, okay, the last one, the last one." The little princess said shyly. It seems that it is impossible to listen to all the stories tonight.

Does he really have thousands of stories? Avril is very curious.

After telling the story of Sleeping Beauty, Avril blinked and asked, "Why do every princess need a prince's kiss to wake up after sleeping?"

"Oh, that's right..." Gong Hao thought about it. This was really a complicated question: "Sometimes kisses have a magical power, which can do many incredible things."

"Just magical?"

"Oh, it's more magical than that. The most magical thing in this world is always human emotions, which cannot be understood and unpredictable. You will not really understand your own feelings, and you cannot control it, and you can only follow its feelings. Magic can at least be learned and mastered, and emotions... you will never be able to learn and master it."

Is it like I was rushing Xiuyi to leave, but I couldn't help calling him back? Avril understood a little.

Avril tilted his head and thought for a while: "Xuyi, have you ever taken the kiss?"

Gong Hao shook his head: "No, no. That's a very sacred thing."

"Neither I." Avril said without regret.

She suddenly found herself envious of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty because they could get kisses that would make them happy for the rest of their lives.

I really want to have it.

She quickly made a decision.

She lowered her head, grabbed the quilt with her little hands tightly, and said softly in a mosquito-like voice: "Shuyi, kiss me."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt hit Gong Hao's head, almost making him jump.

Avril was a little dissatisfied: "You don't need to be so scared."

Gong Hao looked around and found that there were only two people in the room, including himself and the princess.

"Hurry up, kiss me." Avril urged him.

Gong Hao asked softly: "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Avril glared at him with dissatisfaction. It seemed that she didn't want to get this kiss, so she didn't plan to let Gong Hao go.

Gong Hao gritted his teeth and leaned over and gently printed a kiss on Avril's face.

The kiss was very light, like a dragonfly squirting the water, but it also left a deep mark in Avril's heart.

Avril only felt that her face was so painful. Oh my God, what was that feeling? Is she sick? Why is her heartbeat so hard?

Her little face turned red.

"This... Avril, do you know that this kind of thing cannot be said?" Gong Hao was a little worried. Damn, she just kissed a princess, and her face was hot, but it felt really good.

"Yes, I know, this is our secret." Avril blushed and replied.

"Then, be a sleeping beauty, see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Gong Hao stood up and left.

As he pushed the door out, Avril hugged in the quilt and said softly in a mosquito-like voice: "Shuyi, if one day I will stay awake, you will come over to save me like a prince charming, and use your kiss to wake me up, right?"

"...Yes, I will." After hesitating for a moment, Gong Hao answered affirmatively.

"Will not abandon me again? Will not for any reason?"

"I swear I won't, never again."

"That's good..." Avril closed his eyes contentedly.

Gong Hao sighed softly and opened the door.

The night is deep and quiet.

Gong Hao stood alone in the middle of the castle.

He was a little confused.

There are always some things that are not under control, and there are always some emotions that are free from reason. Avril's enthusiasm, innocence and dependence on himself are rapidly heating up. If this continues, there may be many things that will soon change unexpectedly.

This is not what he wants to see.

There is a natural gap between me and Avril, not only a huge identity difference, but more importantly, my deep hatred for the Lance Empire.

He could not forget the dead Zach, Siser, Biller and Fink.

I can't forget every dead boy.

I can't forget that even if he has reached this point with his own efforts, he still has not escaped the threat of death.

But what can I do?

Maybe it's time to prepare for the next plan.

Avril stayed for a long time this time, because Gong Hao had not found the monster mount she needed for her.

Although everyone could see that the only mount Avril needed was the blonde boy, not a monster that was not in the plan at all.

Perhaps Avril hopes that she will never find her mount in her life so that she can always have this blonde little boy.

Unfortunately, she had no say in this matter. Hines rejected her wish to take Gong Hao away, which made her so angry that she almost burst into tears on the spot.

The old man didn't even want to comfort His Highness the princess, but said lightly: "There are many things on Purgatory Island that you don't understand. Go back and ask your father. If he agrees, I don't mind giving Glair to you."

Of course, the emperor could not agree. He knew that those who planted the spirit seeds could no longer be taken out safely. Even if he did not consider the issue of bloodline, he could not let his daughter be a widow.

Two days later, the Liberty came.

This is the first time that two ships docked at the same time on Purgatory Island.

Gong Hao decided to go find Bailey. He asked Avril for a leave of absence and said a lot of good things, and promised to tell her at least ten good stories today before finally making a journey.

"Hey, Shiuigra, my good friend, I'm so glad to see you again," Bailey shouted.

He gave Gong Hao a warm hug and asked him to go to the cabin to have a drink according to the "old rules".
