Chapter 1466 The Stinky Chess Basket
I no longer remember how long the previous sparring lasted, let alone how many swords Iron Beard struck me with, and how many swords I blocked.
All I know is that when I opened my eyes, I saw a snow-white roof, luxurious wall decorations, and a big bed big enough to sleep seven or eight people.
Slowly stand up and slowly climb down. When doing all this, my body feels very relaxed and I don't feel tired at all.
When my feet landed firmly on the ground, supporting my body, and sitting up from the bed, a sense of powerlessness that I had never felt before swept through my body in an instant, almost knocking me down.
He staggered and leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Sweat continued to pour out of his pores and soaked his clothes.
After leaning against the wall for a long time, I finally regained my strength, put my arms on the wall, and slowly walked towards the door.
By the time I reached the gate, I had regained enough strength to walk without relying on the wall.
Opening the door, there was a long corridor. As soon as I took a step forward, I was startled by a rough voice suddenly coming from both sides: "Master An Xiaoyi, you're awake!"
Looking left and right, there were two guards.
I nodded and said, "Now that I'm awake, can I ask where the bathroom is?"
"Okay, please come with me!"
Without waiting for me to say anything, two guards helped me on the left and right and walked deeper into the corridor.
Soon, they stopped in front of a door: "This is the bathroom commonly used by princes."
I nodded. It seemed that in their eyes, I, a foreigner, had the same status as their prince.
As soon as I entered the bathroom, I saw a strong dwarf taking a bath in the hot spring pool. While soaking, he was humming a very charming song.
Before I could hear the lyrics clearly, the dwarf suddenly stopped humming, turned around slowly, and glanced at me.
Suddenly, he was stunned for several seconds. He suddenly stood up from the hot spring, took two steps away, and came to me with an excited look on his face.
That expression frightened me, fearing that he was deliberately doing something wrong.
I saw his stubby hands stretched out, grabbed my arm tightly, and said, "An Xiaoyi, you are An Xiaoyi!"
I was confused by his excited expression, and after a while I said, "Uh, I'm An Xiaoyi, who are you?"
"I am the second son of the Dwarf King. We have met before." He squeezed my hand excitedly and said, "But it's no wonder you forgot about me. Apart from the one-time relationship before, we have no more entanglements. But But I can’t forget you!”
"Well, I don't have that idea about men."
"Don't worry, I don't have that idea about men. I just can't forget you, not only because you are my brother-in-law, but also because of your great strength." His eyes became more intense: "And I heard people say, You sparred with Iron Beard yesterday, and the fight was quite fierce!"
"Your Highness," I said, "Although saying this may lower your opinion of me, I still have to say that the so-called intense is only for me. For Iron Beard, I am afraid it is far less than this standard. His His strength is beyond the reach of me so far. I am afraid that the only opponents who can really make him fight in a fierce state are those who are also part of the national strength."
"It's not important." The second prince said, "It's not important at all. What I value is not how far you can push Iron Beard, but your courage and your unyielding. It's embarrassing to say that even if it lasts for many years, I was crawling around in the dungeon, and I couldn't help but feel timid when competing with Iron Beard, but you are different. Although your strength is not as good as mine, your spirit is a hundred times tougher than mine. It's really hard for me. Imagine, how do you maintain your mentality in the face of that terrifying pressure?"
"about this point."
I was a little embarrassed. I couldn't tell him that it was my knife that kept stimulating me with words and stimulating my unyielding spirit.
If he really said that, he would probably think I was crazy.
But otherwise, I can't find any good reason.
So I fell silent.
Unexpectedly, silence actually became an answer.
Second Prince: "I understand. It seems that to be truly strong-minded, you don't need to answer with words, but to experience it with your heart. That's why you choose to remain silent. Is that what you mean?"
"Ah" I nodded thoughtfully: "You are right."
That's right. From the beginning, all I could think about was how to find excuses to cover up the facts. It would be better for you to help me fill this gap directly. Thank you so much!
During the next bathing time in the hot spring, the second prince said a lot of words full of admiration. I listened tirelessly, but I couldn't just leave - the hot spring was really so comfortable, so comfortable that I could bear it. Put up with the nagging.
Finally I got out of the bathroom, changed into the clothes prepared by the guard in advance, and under the leadership of the guard, I went to another place.
In the meantime, the second prince was still chattering tirelessly, but when I walked to the middle of the corridor, this lively second prince actually fell silent and stopped at the same time.
I was a little puzzled by his behavior. When I was far away, one of the guards said: "Please don't worry about the second prince's reaction. This is normal."
"What's normal?" I asked confused.
The guard smiled slightly and said: "The second prince has always been lively and naughty, which does not fit the image of a prince in my mind. Therefore, he was often punished by my king since he was a child. Although he has grown up now, the shadow of his childhood punishment has always been deeply buried. Because of his heart, he never dares to get too close to my king, and even unless summoned by my king, he generally refuses to go near the rooms in this area."
"It turns out there is still this past incident." I chuckled: "It's quite interesting."
The guard sighed and said, "Actually, my king also loves you deeply and takes responsibility deeply, but the second prince doesn't understand his thoughts."
Seeing the guard's expression of hatred, I wanted to laugh a little.
He must have a good relationship with the dwarf king, otherwise he would not talk about the dwarf king's family background casually.
Soon, we came to two giant doors. When we opened the doors, a magnificent hall appeared in front of us, with crystal pendants, gold-inlaid walls, marble floors and white jade ceilings.
I am familiar with this place. It is the most luxurious place in the entire Wychburg Palace - the back hall.
This is usually a place for holding grand banquets, but it can also be used as a venue for leisure and entertainment.
The Dwarf King was playing chess with the Goblin King. When he saw me coming, he smiled, stretched out his hand to push the chessboard, and said, "Xiao Yi is awake!"
There was a crash, and a piece of the chess piece fell down, and a few of them fell to the ground, spinning around.
"Oh, you're only two moves away from winning. You bastard, you're using this excuse to ruin chess again!" the Goblin King said angrily, slapping the table.
"Don't talk nonsense." The dwarf king looked like a dead pig and refused to admit it, saying, "I just accidentally knocked over the chess piece."
"Why didn't you knock it over when you won!" The Goblin King became even more angry: "How come every time when I'm about to win, either the chess piece turns over or the table is not strong!"
