Alina covered her head with the quilt, not wanting to hear anything until everything around her became quiet.
We can't do this, absolutely not. Either we explode in silence or we perish in silence. We must find a way!
After all, Alina is still a little girl, and she is extremely tired of this endless courtesy and etiquette. Suddenly an idea burst out, and then the excited Alina lost all sleepiness!
Run away!
As for what would happen after she escaped, Elena couldn't think about it, nor did she want to think about it. The identity of a princess was so annoying. Everyone in Dragon City knew her, but here, Elena felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster.
Half an hour later...
"What! Princess Alina is missing? Say it again!"
After hearing the report from the dragon clan etiquette officer, the mermaid king and queen were also stunned, and the ministers beside them looked at each other. This was a big deal. If there was a mistake, it would be a terrible diplomatic incident. Of course, Princess Clara, who was hiding in the queen's arms, suddenly became energetic. Her bright and moving big eyes blinked slightly a few times, and her long eyelashes seemed to carry infinite grace. Even the usually calm etiquette officer of the Taote Turtle clan had to sing praises for her beauty. She and their third princess could really be called the two most beautiful girls in the world.
"Trola, what's going on? As the captain of the palace guard, you actually let our distinguished guest disappear. If you can't find the princess, you won't see the sun tomorrow!"
The Mermaid King was furious, and the entire hall was shaking. This was the power of magic reaching its peak.
"Your Excellency the Mermaid King, please do not be angry. According to the reports from the maids and guards, the princess may have left on her own... You also know something about this. Please try your best to find the princess while keeping it a secret. The Sea Dragon Clan deeply apologizes for the trouble this has caused you." The Taote etiquette officer said very calmly and appropriately.
The Mermaid King and the Queen smiled at each other. They could understand this kind of thing too well. The Queen had a typical troublemaker in her arms.
"Please rest assured. Trola will do as the etiquette officer said and find the princess as soon as possible. We will tell the public that Princess Elena and Princess Clara hit it off right away. Other matters can be put off for now. They are just children's matters."
"Yes, your Majesty!"
A large-scale search began in the entire palace, and the security at the city gates was strengthened several times. Anyone passing by had to have their ID card checked. This kind of thing was no joke. Although the princess had escaped privately and was a master of both magic and martial arts, she was still young after all, and if anything happened to her, they would be the ones who would be in trouble.
At this time Caesar also woke up, awakened by hunger. Fortunately, something happened to the princess, otherwise the wine would have been taken to the kitchen long ago, and if he had been discovered, he might have been thrown into the pot directly.
Just as he was about to come out, he found that the door suddenly opened. Caesar was so scared that he quickly shrank back, and a petite figure flashed in.
"Humph, you want to catch me? No way. Just hide first."
Although she could force her way out, Elena didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. After all, she represented the Sea Dragon Clan. Her eyes suddenly fixed on a wine barrel. The big barrel had clearly shaken just now. Could it be?
At this time, the guards outside had already searched over. Elena didn't have time to think about it. She pointed her little hand lightly and the lid of the wine barrel immediately floated up. She flew in with a flash, and the lid fell gently.
"Oh, this is so tragic. I don't know what the higher-ups are up to. Why do they have to conduct a major search when things are going well?"
"Keep your voice down. If the captain hears us, we will both be shelled and given seafood soup."
"Hehe, what a delicious wine. How about we taste it secretly?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The two people in the wine barrel were already pounding with fear from the sudden incident. Caesar's mouth was being held by a soft little hand. He wanted to struggle, but when he smelled the fragrance, his body went limp. The other party didn't pay any attention to this matter at all. Who would have thought that there was someone in the same boat.
Could this be the girl in the legend?
Caesar had heard the old man say many times that he had seen some female mercenaries in the tavern, but they were completely different from the girls he had imagined. However, his intuition told him that the girl in front of him was the one the old man was talking about.
When Caesar thought of this, his heart beat faster. Although the bucket was not small, it was still a little crowded to put two children in it. He didn't expect that he would have such close contact with a girl the first time he met her.
The two guards still didn't have the courage to steal the wine at this time. They joked for a few words and left. The two people in the barrel breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Elena also found something wrong. How could she touch a man casually? This was not in line with the etiquette of a princess... Wait, it seems that I shouldn't be a princess now?
The barrel cover flew up, a fluorescent ball appeared in Alina's hand, and Caesar slowly stood up. When he saw Alina, he felt like his breathing was about to stop.
Yin and Yang attract each other, this is the standard of all things. Caesar had heard the old man tell countless stories of princes and princesses. When he saw Elena for the first time, a flower seed had been planted in his heart.
"Hello, I'm Alina."
Judging from the other person's appearance, he should be a commoner of the Sheou tribe. Such a person does not even have the qualifications to see the princess, let alone have such close contact with her. But at this moment, Elena thought that the other person's helpless look was so cute.
"I, my name is..."
Although Caesar wanted to act more magnanimous, his usual sharp tongue failed him at the critical moment.
Phew, Alina couldn't help laughing. She Ou Ren was so funny. It seemed that her escape life might be very interesting.
This smile instead aroused Caesar's indelible pride, "We are both wanderers in this world, so why should we know each other when we meet? The name is just a code name."
Originally, she thought the person in front of her was just a silly boy, but the sudden change made Elena stunned. Although it was only for a moment, the person in front of her looked so domineering. "We are both wanderers in this world, so why should we know each other when we meet?" What a beautiful poem, I have never heard of it before.
Suddenly, Elena gently kissed Caesar on the forehead, and Caesar was stunned as if he was petrified!
Kiss? Kiss a girl?!
In fact, this is a far cry from a real kiss. It is just a kind of etiquette that the princess uses to treat her closest relatives. However, for our little Caesar, this stimulation is already strong enough.
"Why are you kissing me?" Caesar asked stupidly.
For a long time afterwards, whenever Caesar recalled this scene, he would complain that if Poseidon, the god of the sea, could give him another chance, he would...
In the impulse, Elena also felt that it was a bit rude. This kind of etiquette was only used for her sister and mother before. But when she saw Caesar's silly look and the stupid question, she couldn't help laughing.
In the five minutes she saw him, she smiled more happily than ever before.
In the five minutes he saw her, he suddenly had a goal and pursuit in life.
