The fierce battle that took place in the middle of the night may have been a relatively long time for the participants, but in fact, even after Sebastian killed three waves of enemies one after another and cleaned up the battlefield, , the eastern sky didn't even have time to show even a touch of fish belly white. It wasn't until he quietly returned to Fubo Castle, took a comfortable bath under the service of the maid on night watch, changed into clean clothes, and lay down on the comfortable and soft bed again that the first bell rang in the castle. The morning rooster crows.
In theory, manifesters do not need to rely on sleep in the general sense to relieve physical and mental fatigue, because the self-regeneration ability of psychic powers can easily eliminate even the slightest physical damage to the body. As for the mental aspect, , they also have a method of deep meditation that is far more efficient than sleep. But for human beings of flesh and blood, lying on soft velvet sheets and relaxing may just be an unconscious habit, especially after a fierce battle that consumes the mind, even the once legendary mage is no exception.
Of course, on the other hand, Sebastian doesn¡¯t want too many people to know his little secret. Not needing sleep after all may seem like a trivial thing at first, but it actually means something much deeper. It is quite difficult to kill a qualified magician in an upright manner, so most enemies prefer another more efficient method - assassination, which may be the reality under the surface that has existed since the birth of mankind. Not needing to eat means that it is difficult to poison, and not needing to sleep means that there is no defensive blind spot of about eight hours. Therefore, it is difficult for the enemy to figure out the specific time period during which the boy prepared the spell. No one knew whether he had used up all the spells for the day.
Therefore, unless it is really a long night of unintentional sleep. Otherwise, Sebastian would always choose to relax as much as possible, especially within easy reach of his pillow. There are also times when there is a personal maid like Lace who is as submissive and soft as water. Under the mental scanning of the Psychic Servant who is on alert 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the risk of the boy being attacked is undoubtedly extremely low, unless the attack is a long-distance attack outside the Psychic Servant's reconnaissance range. But having said that, if that's the case, unless you have defensive spells on your body beforehand. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter whether the boy himself fell asleep or not
"You said that Sebastian told you to prepare for a bath when it was almost dawn, and then went back to the room to continue sleeping and you haven't gotten up yet?" After dawn, Isabel, who was about to summon the young man to come to the study to discuss the affairs at hand, listened to the head maid's words. In reply, a disdainful snort escaped from his nose, "What better way to take a bath at midnight? Did one of your women sneak into his room at night?"
"No, no, there is no such thing." The dissatisfaction showed in the words of the eldest lady. How could the seasoned head maid not notice it? She quickly waved her hand and denied, "There was nothing unusual when I inspected the room in the middle of the night. Those girls are all very young. They cannot do such a thing. Well, and ¡¡±
"And?" The girl raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Miss, I don't know whether I should say, um" The head maid obviously hesitated for a moment, and she probably also had a fierce struggle in her heart. After all, it was related to the noble magician's body, and they These servants can be said to be trembling with fear, just because the eldest lady in front of them is still the noble young monarch in name. "The clothes Master Sebastian took off had many holes and were stained with blood in many places. It looked like like he had just fought with someone"
"What did you say? Could it be" The fact that the druids of the Scourge Order had to make strategic moves during the battle a few days ago was unforgettable for Isabel. Therefore, almost subconsciously, he immediately made the guess that was most consistent with the truth.
"Go, bring those clothes." After a moment of silence, Isabel ordered, "Also, ask someone to ask the night watchman of the castle if there was any unusual movement last night."
"Yes, Miss, I will do it right away." The head maid did not dare to say anything more, and bowed respectfully and exited the study.
"You're not really going to find those druids alone, are you, my dear Sebastian?" Isabel savored the hint of jealousy and unwillingness that grew out of nowhere deep in her heart. He clenched his fists hard, letting his nails sink deeply into the tender flesh of his palms without realizing it, "Is this just your personal whim, or in your eyes, I, or even Alati, are like that Do the powerful warriors no longer have the strength to fight alongside you"
On the slightly tattered blood-stained robe presented by the maid, there were small holes and scratches punctured by thorn branches.It vividly showed the viewers what a brutal battle his master had gone through. At this point, the girl no longer had any doubts about her previous guess.
Isabel closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. After a while, she softly ordered, "After Magician Sebastian gets up, invite him to the study again."
The magnanimity of being a monarch completely overwhelms the magician¡¯s jealousy. As for the so-called crisis of trust between lovers? The status that that kind of thing occupies in a girl's mind is really incomparable with the first two. Why are the love stories of those strong men and women on the continent of Akalon always being sung by countless people and lasting forever? The answer is simple, not because these love stories are really so soul-stirring and shocking, but because these love stories are so rare that things become more valuable when they are rare.
It's not that the strong men standing at the top of the pyramid of Akron continent generally don't care about the luxury of love, but the reality is cruel. Human energy is limited after all, and the short life span of less than a hundred years is different from other people on the continent. Those races that are blessed with longevity pale in comparison. Those who are too focused on love and pleasure often find it difficult to reach the supreme peak with their own abilities before the deadline. According to incomplete statistics from the kingdom, more than 90% of the registered wizards in the Wizard Tower are currently single Relatively speaking, the love stories of elven nobles with thousand-year lifespans are much more common. , any third-rate bard on the roadside can sing for three days and three nights without any effort or repetition.
The complicated feelings between girls and teenagers are not just the love between youth and childhood sweethearts. Whether it is Sebastian's true nature or Isabel's overly mature mind, they all determine that the relationship between them is deeper. Maybe if we really have to define it, it might be a mixture of vague love, life-and-death friendship between comrades, mutual encouragement between opponents, the superior and inferior affection between the vassal and the vassal, and even the deepest feelings in the soul. The purest special connection and other unique emotions that are blended together.
He slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then Sebastian, under the service of the maids, got up lazily, changed clothes and washed himself, and then knocked on the wooden door of the study.
"Please come in." A slightly hoarse magnetic voice sounded from inside the door.
After Sebastian entered the study and saluted according to the etiquette of a knight meeting a lord, Isabel closed the document in her hand, opened her red lips and reprimanded softly, "You are too outsider, Sebastian, you There is no need for me to be so polite. If you really want to talk about it, you are the lord here. And I am just taking care of the property for you temporarily. "
Sebastian smiled slightly and said nothing. Although he doesn't like to quarrel with others, it doesn't mean that he can't even observe the most basic things. Since my female feudal lord values ??these things, what if I go through the process myself without losing anything extra, right?
"Sit down, dear." Isabel stood up from the chair behind the desk. She was wearing a rare and elegant lavender dress paired with bright gold high heels, which made the girl look particularly elegant and dignified. After moving to the sofa group in the reception area and sitting down, Isabel stretched out her hand to indicate the seat opposite, "I was just wondering if you have some new news that you plan to report to me."
"Ah, has it been exposed? I originally planned to give you a surprise." Sebastian sat down nonchalantly, smoothed the ruffled edge of his robe, and said with a bright smile, "Our brandy There shouldn¡¯t be any obstacles to business in the short term.¡±
"Did you really go find those druids last night?" Isabel's body leaned forward slightly intentionally or unintentionally, and a mysterious and intoxicating line under her soft neck could not help but appear looming with her slight movements. There was obvious worry on the girl's face, and her voice was filled with concern but at the same time it was seductive. "How are you? Are you hurt?"
It has to be said that the young Isabel has a deep understanding of the way of commander-in-chief and personnel. She does not ask whether things are successful or not, but first asks about the safety of people. Coupled with the superiority and inferiority of status, as well as the unique attraction of being a noble lady to knights in this era, if those passionate men with a slightly simpler mind heard this, I am afraid they would immediately be excited and unable to control themselves, and prostrate themselves under the girl's pomegranate skirt. . Even the boy who had maintained a calm mind during the fierce battle could not help but feel his heartbeat speeding up and his lips dry.
Damn it, that guy¡¯s obsession has popped up again! Sebastian cursed angrily in his heart, directly blaming the subtle changes in his body on his previous owner.
