The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 258's

Master Longhaus could clearly tell that his disciple cared so much about Linley that he had lost his wits.

"Delia, it's okay. Worry not! "Linley laughs. Linley felt very touched by the attention Delia explained.

"Good . "Delia nodded.

However, Delia was still worried. After all, the person who dueled Linley was supposedly the most powerful Saint still alive; the Monolithic Sword Saint, Haydson.

Longhaus looked at Linley, then at Delia. Laughing, he said, “It has been quite a while since the two of you classmates met each other. I'm not gonna bother you. Let me take a walk. You two can talk well. I imagine, after ten years, you have a lot to say to each other. ”

Delia glanced at her teacher thankfully.

Clearly, Lord Longhaus gave him the opportunity to have some alone time with Linley.

As he spoke, Master Longhaus led his Worldbear away from the courtyard, leaving only Linley, Delia, Bebe, and Haeru.

Delia lowered her head, continuing to caress Bebe's fur. He was waiting for Linley to speak.

A beautiful woman, petting adorable pets. This was a soul-shaking image .. but Linley just felt awkward. If he were to face Saint, Linley would not feel fear at all, but facing Delia, Linley felt extremely complicated.

The woman from her age group she is most familiar with is Delia.

After all, they grew up together.

Linley was not a puppet. He knew how Delia felt .. and this was why Linley felt so awkward. Especially now that he is alone with her.

"The last few years, have you been okay?" After a long period of silence, Linley finally managed to force out this somewhat blunt and spotless phrase.

Delia raised her head, glancing at Linley. He really laughed a little. "Linley, you are already a Saint-level expert. Since when have you been so embarrassed? I've been pretty good this year. With my clan and my teacher supporting me, who would dare to persecute me? "

After hearing Delia's words, Linley felt a little more relaxed.

"What have you been doing all this time?" Delia said softly.

"Not too much . "Linley seemed to once again rethink what happened ten years ago. Ten years ago, after learning of his father's death, he had given up everything and decided to avenge his father.

He had walked further and further along the road to get his revenge, and in the end he did kill Clayde. But due to the siege and the battle with the six Special Executors of the Radiant Church, in the end, his most beloved Grandfather Doehring had sacrificed his soul for him …

Three years of grueling training in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, six years of quiet meditation in the O'Brien Empire.

The fight with Stehle, the fight with the six Angels, the sparring match with McKenzie. As they did so, without holding anything back, Linley began to tell Delia what had happened.

Delia stopped stroking Bebe, attentively listening to every word Linley said.

Right now, Linley was speaking in a very calm, simple manner, as if he was very relaxed. But Delia could really imagine what the last ten years of Linley's life had been like. After he finished speaking, Linley could not hold his breath repeatedly.

"Linley's. "Delia suddenly grabbed to grab Linley by the hand, gripping him tightly!

Linley raised his head to look at Delia in surprise. Delia looked at. "Linley, don't let your life be so tiring. You've done very well. ”

Delia's hands were a bit cold.

But Linley could feel Delia's heartbeat through her tight grip. It was beating very slowly. Linley felt a surge of warmth in his own heart, slowly melting a small part of his frozen heart.

"Thank you . "Say Linley softly.

“Don't thank me. "Delia shook her head, her scorching gaze on Linley's face.

The air between them was warm. For some reason, Linley felt himself growing somewhat chaotic. Scenes of her and Alice would drift into her mind, but then they would be replaced by the kiss she shared that night with Delia. His heart rate is also growing faster. Linley actually grew somewhat panicked.

"Bebe. "Linley looked at Bebe, then looked at Delia. "Delia, do you know how strong Bebe is?" Under that kind of atmosphere, the only thing Linley could do that was to panic was to immediately change the topic.

Linley did not know what he might do if that atmosphere continued.

Thus, Linley decided to just change the topic.

Delia quietly sighed to herself. He was skilled in negotiation, and thus he was naturally a psychology student as well. When he was at the Ernst Institute, he had already started studying psychology. In fact, the reason he started psychology was to better understand Linley.

Delia understood Linley very well.

Delia knew that, after experiencing what she had with Alice, even though Linley seemed to have forgotten her, it was actually.

First love is very fragile.

Especially for a stubborn person like Linley. Once he truly loves someone, then he will place a higher value on that first love than a normal person. That first love failure would subconsciously cause Linley to have a slight phobia towards love.

Even if another woman tried to approach him, Linley would naturally retreat.

Delia understood that a layer of ice had already covered Linley's heart. If one wanted to melt that layer of ice, one could not be too hasty. It should be diluted step by step.

Delia loved Linley very much, and in her heart, she felt pain on behalf of this Linley.

Linley had suffered greatly. One love after another left him. True, he was extremely capable, having become a peak-level Saint at the age of twenty-seven. But just how much bitterness and suffering had occurred on the path he had taken?

Delia really did not expect Linley to continue exhausting her. For Linley's sake, Delia had already decided to spend as much time as needed. As long as he could help Linley become a little more relaxed and a little happier, he would be very satisfied.

"Delia, what are you thinking?" Linley saw that Delia seemed to have been daydreaming.

Delia immediately picked it up and laughed, “What am I thinking? Thought you. "Linley could not help but be stunned. Seeing this expression on Linley's face, Delia laughed. "I'm kidding . ”

Linley laughed as well.

"What did you want to say about Bebe just now?" Delia laughs.

"Bebe, want to say some things to Delia?" Linley laughed as he looked at Bebe.

"Say some things?" Delia looked at Bebe in surprise. The ordinary little shadowmouse he saw at the Ernst Institute could speak? All magical beasts capable of speaking were at Saint level.

"Why!" Linley immediately slapped towards Bebe, but Linley's palm passed straight through 'Bebe'. It was nothing more than an after-image Bebe!

Bebe stood in midair, laughing at Linley happily.

"Bebe, you're a little girl. "Linley didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He had never said anything like that before. Bebe was completely making things up.

“Bebe, be nice, come to me. Delia stretched out her hand, and Bebe immediately jumped into Delia's chest again. In Delia's warm embrace, she seemed to feel very comfortable, and even winked a few times at Linley.

Thanks to Bebe's deliberate 'tease', Linley and Delia both laughed constantly. Time passed by very quickly, and soon, the sky gradually began to darken.

Seeing how the sky had darkened, Delia suddenly recalled that tonight, Emperor Johann had arranged a major welcome banquet for her.

"Linley, it's late. I have to go now. Tonight, Emperor Johann has arranged a dinner for me. I must be present. "Delia said she was sorry.

Linley nodded slightly. "Then I won't arrest you anymore. ”

"Will you go tonight?" Delia suddenly asked.

"Me?" Linley laughed. “Emperor Johann did not invite me, and I did not like dinner parties. Forget . ”

Delia nodded slightly.

In fact, how could Emperor Johann not invite Linley? Wharton refused on behalf of his brother. He knew that Linley did not like banquets, nor did he like to deal with those nobles.

"Breakfast. "Delia said softly.

"Breakfast. "Linley looked at Delia.

Delia stood there for a moment before slowly leaving the courtyard. After he walked outside, he turned to look back at Linley. It was dark, and there was not much light. As Delia turned to look at Linley, her hair was swept away by the night wind.

A dazzling smile, and then he left.

Watching this beauty depart for the night, Linley stood there motionlessly, thinking who knew what.

"Big brother, what do you see?" Wharton walked over, laughing. “It's time for dinner. ”

"Your brother feels the spring turmoil!" Little head Bebe appeared from behind Linley.

Night descended, but the entire imperial capital was filled with light. Currently, in the imperial palace, a large banquet had been prepared, and the palace musicians performed beautiful songs. Men and women showed their graceful dance steps in the middle of the hall.

Delia sat on a chair next to the wall of the main hall. Next to him was Wildthunder Stormhawk. She is the guest of honor today. After all, this banquet was for the sake of welcoming him.

But in addition to exchanging polite words with Emperor Johann, and singing a few words to a beautiful song, Delia claimed that she felt unwell and went to one side to rest.

A handsome young noble walked up to Delia, a smile that he might have considered amiable on her face. Bowing slightly, she said, "Beautiful Ms.. Delia, can I have the honor of asking you to dance? "

“Sorry, I'm not feeling well. "Delia shook her head.

The young noble left regretfully. Not feeling well? Who is he trying to fool? Many girls who are unwilling to accept the offer to dance will say this. Moreover, Delia was a magus of the seventh rank. How could he easily fall ill?

From a distance, a few young nobles stared at Delia.

"What number is he?" Scott laughed towards the young nobles nearby.

"Eighth . "The young noble laughed.

"Eighth, what?" Marquis Jeff, who had just finished dancing, laughed as he walked over. At the moment, Marquis Jeff was in a beautiful mood.

Indeed, like Marquis Jeff was the son of Prince Julin. As his heir, one day Marquis Jeff would become the controller of the entire Southeast Administrative Province! His status was extremely high, even higher than that of a prince who was not in line with the imperial throne. Naturally, many young noble women were eager to become his wife.

Unfortunately, even though many young noblewomen were screwed by Marquis Jeff, none of them gained anything.

"I'm talking to Her Majesty about Ms. Delia. This is the eighth person to ask Mom. Delia dances, only to be rejected. It seems like the others have lost faith. No one else dared to invite him. "The young noble laughed.

Scott laughed looking at Marquis Jeff. "What, cousin Jeff, do you want to try?"

Marquis Jeff nodded with confidence. "It's just a dance, right? Look at me . "Marquis Jeff smiled as he walked towards Delia, smiling quite brightly.

"Miss . Delia. "Marquis Jeff walked in front of him. "Maybe I have the honor of asking you to dance?"

"I'm sorry . I'm not feeling well . ”Delia gave the same response.

Marquis Jeff very naturally sat next to him, maintaining the level of distance practiced between the two of them. Although the distance between the two was not too far away, it was not so close that it could be threatening.

"If you're not feeling well, you should take a break. "Marquis Jeff, who was quite experienced, knew exactly how he should approach this kind of situation. If one can make physical contact with a girl, it will be easier for both of them to feel more intimate with each other.

How to make physical contact …

"Oh, Ms.. Delia, your shoulder has some .. "As she spoke, Marquis Jeff reached out toward Delia's shoulder.

But before he could get the word 'dust' out of his mouth …

"A !!!" Marquis Jeff screamed in pain. The shout shocked the main hall, and everyone turned to look at him. Even the distant Emperor Johann, who was chatting with the Imperial Left Premier, got their attention.

"What just happened?" Emperor Johann immediately walked over.

"My hands! My hand! ”Marquis Jeff almost cried. A huge wound appeared in his hand, and a large piece of flesh was missing. Blood flowed nonstop, staining the floor.

Delia hurriedly stood up. "Emperor Johann, my apology. Master instructed Wildthunder Stormhawk to protect me. The Wildthunder Stormhawk would attack anything that touched my body in a way that he considered threatening. Before I could even react, Wildthunder Stormhawk immediately pecked at him. ”

Everyone saw Wildthunder Stormhawk.

Wildthunder Stormhawk hung a piece of meat from his beak, which was stained with blood. Wildthunder Stormhawk swallowed the piece of meat in one gulp, then stared death at Marquis Jeff with his two golden eagle eyes.
