I have a date with the devil

Chapter 22

Having a history of being harassed, Abil's frontier army was ready and prepared for battle, and did not dare to let up, repelling the first attack of the undead army in a very quick manner.

According to the last experience, they will stop for three or four days before resuming. As a result, this time, the two sides have only been laid to rest for less than a few hours, the soldiers scouting for the enemy high up in the city tower blew their horns in fear.

The people who came to hear the news raised their torches and looked with grim faces at the dark waves that covered the distant plain - compared to the previous number of rebels, which was only an insignificant drop of water in the ocean.

A dark ray of light leaked out from under the midnight sky. The miasma covered the sky and came tumbling down, and everywhere it passed there was no grass, no death. The undead soldiers poured out like a dense mass of walking corpses, wailing across the plain with sharp spears in their hands, heading in the direction of Abil.

This chilling scene, deep in the memory of every Abil's soldiers. They suspected that what they saw was the end of the day when the gates of hell were opened and the demons and spirits scrambled to escape.

It was on this day that Abil's borders were tragically breached.

Luckily, Abil did not fall all the way. The elite division coming from Fram Eaton and the undead rebels met halfway. The two sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war, and it took ten days for the former to expel the rebels from the border, in exchange for a brief period of peace.

Compared to those kingdoms that were completely engulfed by the miasma due to lack of troops, this was a very admirable result.

No country could stay out of the way of the raging evil miasma.

In many years, this long and arduous war, in which countless human kingdoms joined, will be called the "Battle of the New Moon" and become the most colorful in the history of the Ripass continent since the post-elf era.

And back to this moment, its curtain has just been drawn. The road ahead is dark and no light, no one knows where the exit is, all you can do is to do your best to fight.

It was in such a tense atmosphere that Ye Miao was given the opportunity to leave Frameton and return to Kardan.

When the armistice was signed, Kardan was called a "vassal state" and was not incorporated into Abil's territory, but was still an intact country that could keep its troops.

The biggest difference from before was that the status of the kings of both sides had changed. The kings of Kardan are no longer on an equal footing with the kings of Abil, and are required to follow the latter's orders and pay tribute regularly.

In contrast, Abil would leave several ambassadors in Kardan for regular inspections. As soon as there were signs that something was wrong in Kardan, such as the quiet deployment of troops and the mass production of weapons, these ambassadors would immediately report to Abil.

This treatment was very similar to that of Varisetin, which was also a vassal state of Abil.

Compared to the two, Variseddine is a weak bushy grass, while Kadam is a huge tree with its trunk cut and its roots unbroken. Although there is no counter-attack strength for a while, but Abil is still not enough to rest assured, therefore, asked Kadan to offer the hostage princess, in order to increase the weight of checks and balances.

At the juncture when the undead army was attacking itself, putting back Kadan's princess was undoubtedly an added instability for Yabil.

Therefore, until Ye Miao successfully boarded the ship to return to Kadan, still puzzled, can not imagine Berial in the end used what method to make the Grand Prince loose mouth to let people go.

That night, she sent Margo and Shana to rest early, and just locked the door to her room, she felt a warm body silently pressed up, wrapping her waist from behind, her voice slightly crispy: "So early to get rid of all the people, waiting for me?"

Sure enough, he came.

From the time she stepped out of the gates of Flan Eaton, there was no sign of Berial. However, Ye Miao had an intuition that he would not let himself go easily. It was his nature to hide his figure and follow her anywhere like a shadow.

The reason for leaving the environment alone is also out of a selfish desire to make him show up.

Of course, she would not admit it.

"Good thinking, I just want to rest early." Ye Miao flashed out of his arms, sat down on the sofa and hesitantly said, "That, you should also tell me, why did the Grand Prince suddenly release me back to Kardan? Did you do something?"

Berial's shoulder leaned on the door frame and raised an eyebrow: "Why do you think so?"

This kind of boneless-like action, he did, don't have a kind of elegant lazy style.

Ye Miao glanced at him and swallowed: "Because, it feels like you're kinda good at confusing people and things like that."

"Oh ...... "Berial nodded in a daze and smiled evilly: "You feel bewitched by me?"

Ye Miao blushed and chose to pretend that she couldn't hear the question, "Don't you digress, say it."

"It's really no big deal." Berial walked over to her, sat down, and said easily, "I just approached him late one night for a few words, and made a little harmless joke with him by the way."

Ye Miao: "......"

What the hell is a "harmless little joke"? Is it really not a threat or intimidation?

Forget it, she better not ask the exact process, it feels like it will be very sick ......

Berial observed her expression and tilted his head, "Aren't you happy to be going home?"

"Of course I'm happy." Ye Miao pursed her lips and honestly revealed her worries: "But also really worried, if you had threatened him, would Kadam have been affected by this ......"

Berial but said, "No. The border between Abil and Variseddine is too long, and the war situation is so tight that there is already an intention to borrow soldiers from the vassal state - or rather, to requisition them and fill the vacancies. Kadam is the strongest vassal state, and will be the backing for Abil in this war. I think within a few days, paperwork will be sent to Kadan."

"What?" Ye Miao's face changed slightly, "But, Kadan also has a part of its border with Varisetin, in case it is attacked when most of the soldiers have gone to Abil, wouldn't it be bad?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she snapped to attention and grasped Berial's meaning.

Once Cardan was lent most of its soldiers, it was equivalent to being essentially drained of the capital to call the shots, losing the strength to tear up the truce, and having no way to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel.

Therefore, the release of the hostage princess, and will not fundamentally shake the control of Abil.

Of course, the reverse is true, even if Abil refused to release, Kadam also dare not disobey. Leaving her would also be one more leverage to get Kadam to send troops. The great prince, against the pressure of the ministers' opposition, released her back to Kadam, saying on the surface that he was selling a favor to Kadam, but in fact, it was thanks to Berial, right?

Berial held her hand and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, your country will be safe and sound."

"Let's hope so." Ye Miao sighed and yawned, "I'm so tired today, I'll take a shower and go to bed too."

She stood up, suddenly "ah", turned her head to stare at him, alert: "You will not peek at me, right?"

"......" Berial licked his lips and scanned her from bottom to top with ambiguity: "Maybe."

What?

The corners of Ye Miao's mouth twitched and she said offhandedly, "Then I won't wash!"

"Pfft hahaha, I'm just kidding with you." Berial broke down and had a hard time stopping it before he stood up, leaned over and pecked a kiss on the lips of the annoyed her and said softly, "Good night, get an early night, you'll see your family soon."

Anyway, it's not like you haven't seen it before.

In the future, there will be many opportunities to see up close, no need to rush in the moment.

--These two words, hidden under his tongue, were not spoken.

Ye Miao touched her lips in a daze, and when she raised her head, she was already the only one left in the room. After a long time of being frozen, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Having left Kadam for more than half a year, she returned to the same voyage again with a very different mood. When she came back, her heart was filled with anxiety about the future, as well as her family, and nightmares. Now, her heart is haunted by anticipation and excitement.

Berial would appear before her when no one was around. Margo and Shana, who were in close attendance, were unaware that she was not alone in the princess's room.

A few days later, Margo and Shana were setting up the afternoon tea when they suddenly noticed Ye Miao sitting by the window with her ears so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.

The sofa was bathed in the brilliant sunlight of the Serpentine Ocean, and Shana understood at a glance and said, "Your Highness, it's too hot there, your face is all red from the sun, so you'd better sit over here."

Ye Miao gritted her teeth and bowed her head, her voice was a little slurred: "No, I'll sit here ......"

Shana and Margo can not see is that Ye Miao's body is shrouded in a faint shadow, the back waist by a pair of hands badly kneading. The sun "shines red" earlobe, is quietly contained in someone's mouth, the scarlet tongue will occasionally deliberately stretch narrow, into her clean snow-white ear hole, so that she can not stop shivering slightly.

Since revealing his identity, Berial is still in the stage of asking her for forgiveness, but in reality, he has not restrained himself at all, and the intimacy that he should have, is not less. The bed, sofa, and even in the bathroom, in addition to not do the last step, everything moves, are dissolving her defenses ...... Now even the occasion is becoming more and more reckless, especially like to bully her in front of outsiders, as if extra like to enjoy her frightened and ashamed look, is really abominable to the extreme.

Ye Miao and can not be "air" attack, only red face, gritted teeth, silently endured, and in the heart cursed 10,000 times "p*****t".

Half a month later, the ship finally arrived at Kadam's capital - Imbal.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Ye Miao's eyes slowly moistened as she saw the familiar scenery and the clothing of the pedestrians on the road.

When she set sail back to Kadam, Ye Miao's parents, the current king and queen of Kadam, had already received the good news that she was coming back and felt a million surprises.

After all, according to the best expectation, Ye Miao would have to stay in Abil for a few years. The worst outcome was that she would not be able to return for the rest of her life. I never expected to see each other again in less than a year. The husband and wife waited in the palace early, and when they saw their long-lost daughter, they greeted her together with excitement.

King Al was about forty years old. The queen was beautiful and still charming, with her black hair tied up in a high crown. The three of them hugged each other and cried with joy, constantly telling how much they missed each other.

After a long time, Ye Miao calmed down a little and wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes before she realized afterwards that one person was missing, looked around and asked, "By the way, Father, Mother, how come I don't see my brother?"

Unexpectedly, her parents' faces were slightly dulled by these words.

Only then did Ye Miao notice that although her parents were overjoyed by her return, they both had dark eyes and looked quite haggard, as if they had been having trouble sleeping and eating during this period of time and had not been resting properly.

Ye Miao's heart gradually surged with uneasiness, stood up straight and said, "Did something happen?"

Al and the queen looked at each other, finally sighed and told the truth: "After we received the letter that you were going back to Kardan, the next day, your brother had an accident, and by now, has been in a coma for almost half a month."
