I'm not that kind of orc

"I'm fine..." I answered, but my voice was weak.

I realized that it was the curse left on the sword, and like last time, part of it flowed from the scratch on the queen's neck to me through the contract.

As for the queen, although it didn't seem to have any effect at first glance, her flying speed has obviously dropped a bit. Originally, her speed was higher than that of the corpse dragon, but at this moment, the distance between her and the corpse dragon gradually widened. .She breathed out fireballs to attack, but the corpse dragon's side had obviously adapted to her attack method during the fight with her just now, and when the attack was approaching, she turned her body around and moved her position, letting the fireballs pass by her side.

I also tried to drive the beast soul to chase there, but the speed of the Thunder Sculpture with two people on it obviously couldn't keep up with the corpse dragon.Princess Alisa also drew an arrow and bowed at this time, trying to shoot an arrow there, but at this time the opponent's position was completely out of range.Even though the arrows she shot were protected by spells, they lost their aim after flying for a certain distance, and fell in a deflected direction.

At this point, we can no longer reach him.

At this time, I once again felt the opponent's adaptability and foresight. It is clear that our side has an overwhelming advantage in terms of combat power. In terms of strategy, I also saw through his next move. The next best thing is to retreat decisively, scratch the queen with the magic sword, and then use the power of the magic sword to repair himself and his mount to escape.He probably had already envisioned the possibility of his own miss, so he used shaman spells to mentally connect with the "spirits" of the surrounding wind elements in advance, and was ready to escape with one hand at the end.

This air battle has come to an end here, and from the results we can be regarded as the winning side, not only preventing the other side from raiding the Elf Palace, but also eliminating most of the combat power of the other side's air strike force.But I felt a deep sense of frustration, because I knew very well that we actually lost to our opponents in various aspects in this battle.Because of luck, we happened to bump into the opponent's action, took the lead, and gained the advantage of combat power by relying on the queen's power, but at the end, we let the opponent escape successfully.

My great-grandfather, Azak, the greatest hero of the orcs, was a brilliant strategist as well as an outstanding warrior, as the stories I'm familiar with tell.

In the end, we could only helplessly watch the corpse dragons fly to the junction between the peaks of the Northland Mountains and the sky in the distance, where they disappeared.

The next day, Elf Palace, restaurant.

The elf maids, who were almost in line, were running back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room, bringing large plates of dishes to the table.Even based on the food intake of the orcs, meals for about a dozen people have already been delivered, but there are actually only two guests at the long table, namely me and the dragon queen sitting opposite me.

And the only one who is still eating is the queen.

Her manner of eating can be described as extremely heroic. When the dishes were delivered to her, the food on the plate disappeared into that small mouth in a blink of an eye, as if being poured into a bottomless pit.

I really don't know how she can hold so much food in such a small body.

Yes, her body is small now, just like when I first met her, shrunk back to the childlike figure.

During the battle with the air strike force that raided the Elven Palace yesterday evening, she was scratched again by the magic sword that had stabbed her before.Although the wound was small, it made her suffer the curse of losing her life once again.Originally, she, who has already signed a contract with me, should be able to let me bear part of the curse like last time, so as to reduce her own burden.

But I don't know why, this time, Her Majesty the Empress, who has always gone her own way, unexpectedly concentrated most of the curse on herself this time, and then changed her body shape to reduce the impact of the curse, waiting for the wound to heal, which is really impressive. A little confused.

But no matter what, I have relieved a lot of burden because of this, and the influence of the curse on me has been minimized. After Princess Alyssa brought me an elf priest to treat me for a while, I almost returned to my usual state .

only……

"Hurry up! Where's the next dish? Why do you only have vegetables here? Do you think I'm a rabbit? Serve me meat! Meat!!" The queen who ate the dishes on the CD impatiently patted the table, looking like a tantrum kid.

... It's just that the empress has become in a rather bad mood since yesterday's incident.

It's no wonder, after all, yesterday she rushed out aggressively to kill the assassin who stabbed her with a sword, but after fighting for a long time, not only did the opponent run away, but she was also slashed by the same sword at the end.Comparing your heart with your heart, I would be furious if this matter happened to me.

After the incident yesterday, she fell asleep for more than ten hours. After getting up, she went to the dinner table and ate and stuffed like she is now.

The maids of the palace did not dare to neglect her urging, and began to come in and out of the corridor leading to the kitchen more diligently to serve dishes, and brought some ready-made snacks before the dishes were too late.Regarding the temper shown by the alien queen, no one at the scene showed any displeasure, and there was even a maid who chatted with her kindly to comfort her.In fact, not only the maids, but also the guards and ladies in the palace showed a very friendly attitude when they saw her today. It is really hard to imagine that she offended the elf queen on the spot at yesterday's meeting.

In yesterday's battle, although she only rushed out to fight out of her own revenge, but from the perspective of the elves in the palace, the whole process became a kind-hearted dragon queen who drew her sword to help when she saw injustice. deeds of heroism.

Of course, from an objective point of view, an assassin with a powerful magic sword, a corpse dragon and six lightning sculptures - if she hadn't personally participated in yesterday's battle, the elf palace that was raided on such a scale There will inevitably be a lot of casualties, and it is indeed an indisputable fact that she protected this elf palace.

...Although I always feel that half of the change in the attitude of the group of long ears towards the Queen is due to the change in her appearance, the evidence is that the snacks brought by the maids are basically candy from just now.

The empress did not refuse, but she frowned slightly after eating those candies: "These sweets are completely incomparable with that little girl's. Where did that black-haired little girl go?"

"His Royal Highness, she... ah, Your Highness!"

Just as the maid standing next to her was about to answer, Princess Alyssa came from the corridor, wearing an apron, holding several large plates of pastries on a tray, still steaming hot from the oven, several different kinds of pastries. The sweet aroma is mixed together, so rich that it seems to condense honey in the air.

The maids rushed over to help her, but Princess Alyssa smiled and signaled them to back away, and she carried the tray to the long table herself.

"Oh, it's finally here." The empress who had been a little impatient finally stretched her brows a little.

"This one is berry cheese pie, this one is jam focaccia, this one is cheesecake, and this one is strawberry millefeuille..." Princess Alisa put the dessert she made herself on a plate. The plate was put on the table from the tray and introduced. Each plate of desserts has been carefully arranged and decorated, which looks as delicate as a work of art. It can be seen that the kitchen conditions in the Elven Palace allowed her to spend a lot of time on the details of production. put more thought into it.

However, in my opinion, this point seems to be winking to the blind today, because the queen doesn't have the patience to taste these details at all. Before she finished speaking, she directly pulled the first plate and put it away. .

Princess Alisa couldn't help but smiled wryly, and then turned to me and asked, "Does Bullock want some?"

? "Any kind, just cut a small portion for me—"

The empress with puffy cheeks who was eating on the opposite side suddenly raised her face. Although separated by a black cloth, I could clearly feel that she seemed to be looking at me.

"Uh, forget it, I'd better not eat." I quickly changed my words.

But the queen stopped eating, looked at the desserts in front of her as if she thought about it, and then said: "Forget it, since you want to eat, I'll share half of each with you."

I froze for a moment.

What happened yesterday should have caused her mood to be quite negatively affected.However, her attitude towards me was surprisingly good.

When I saw her for the first time, I was not only forced to have a fight with her, but also forced to make a contract with her, to share her curse for her. Came to sleep in my house.

To be honest, after what happened yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if she really took me out and beat me up with the excuse of "I look like that assassin".

But this time, she not only took on most of the curse herself, but she was also quite polite to me.

"Student Bullock." At this time, Princess Alisa suddenly approached me with a smile, and spoke to me in a low voice, "Can you do me a favor?"

Rewards for meritorious deeds, those who see them have a share (2)

"Help? What do you want me to do?"

"I want to hug her, just give her a hug! Well, can you ask her for me..." Princess Alisa said coyly.

"Her?" I froze for a moment, then followed Princess Alisa's gaze and looked towards the opposite side.

The queen, who looked only in her early teens, was devouring her dessert.

Then look away and look at Princess Alisa—the eyes are shining brightly, as if there are a string of stars hidden in them, full of attempts are written on the face.

"Your Highness, you..." I immediately understood what she was thinking, and for a moment I didn't know what to say to her.

In the past, she saw that Feilan, who had been younger because of the magic, had this kind of virtue.

"Just one click!" She smiled at me shyly.

"...Why do you want me to tell you?"

"I'm afraid she will be unhappy if I say it, but she treats you pretty well today, so..."

"You also know that it might make her unhappy!"

I still want to live a few more years!

"It really can't." She lowered her eyes regretfully, and then thought again, "Then how about I pretend to sit next to her naturally? Do you think it would be too rash for me to sit closer? "

It's rare to see her so excited.

Stop it, or stop this idea!Don't just look at her body shape now, but her spirit is still that of the Dragon Queen, she is in such a bad mood right now, you treat her like a kid and get close to her, just in case you make her angry...

At this time, a calm voice came from the opposite side: "What are you mumbling about while looking at me?"

I was startled, and quickly signaled Princess Alisa to restrain herself with my eyes.

As a result, this Highness didn't notice me at all, and slipped out his thoughts as soon as he raised his head: "Well, can I give you a hug?"

Your Highness! ! !

I gasped on the spot.

After finishing speaking, Princess Alisa also realized that she was too emotional to control her mouth, so she subconsciously covered her lips with her fingers.

The queen was silent.

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, she must be angry, is it too late to say it's a joke?

Two seconds passed, and at the moment when I was nervous, the queen said: "Yes."

I immediately spread my hands at the princess: "Look, it really doesn't work, and it made her angry-eh? What!?"

In the middle of the sentence, I realized that my eyes were about to pop out, and I turned my head towards the queen.

My ears got it wrong!

But the queen repeated lightly: "I say yes."

Princess Alyssa was overjoyed and went around to the opposite side, bent over and stretched out her hands to embrace the Queen's body.

She seemed to still want to lift the empress up from her seat, but then she showed a surprised expression.

Even if the queen transforms into this figure, her body is still quite heavy. I have personally experienced this point in hand-to-hand combat with her.

"Do you still want me to sit on your lap?" The queen frowned slightly and glanced at her.

"...Yes, I'm sorry!!" Princess Alisa smiled apologetically.

Too bad, I should really make her angry now!

As a result, the queen's reaction left me dumbfounded again.

She sighed: "Forget it, just this one time. I use spells to control myself to become lighter, okay, come on."

Princess Alisa happily picked up the queen and put her on her lap to wrap around her waist, while the queen continued to eat the dessert on the table.

Several maids around showed envious expressions to the princess, but I began to wonder if I was dreaming.

What happened to the female lizard today?

Not only for me, but also for Princess Alyssa, who is obviously in a bad mood.

Either she has gone against the evil, or I have gone against the evil today.

"Well, Your Majesty, do you feel uncomfortable today?" I asked her cautiously.

By the way, does this reptile have a fever?

"I'm very normal." The queen immediately saw through my thoughts, and replied coldly, without stopping to pull the dessert into her mouth with a fork, "Aila saw me turn into this appearance and her It’s also looking at me with the same eyes, and I occasionally play with the children when I’m in the mood for a walk outside, so I can understand her thinking.”

Just because you can understand it doesn't mean you can accept it. Could it be that this empress enjoys this kind of role?

Seeing my weird eyes, the queen seemed to feel my thoughts again, and replied calmly: "Of course I would not let you go like this. As a king, it is natural to be clear about rewards and punishments. I do things myself, and I also like to be clear about grievances and grievances." , you saved me yesterday, and you deserved credit for escorting me, so I owe you a favor, and the dessert made by the little girl today is also very good, I like it very much." She paused here, and added, "But, don't rub your face against it. My hair, aren't you afraid of being pricked by my horns... Also, don't try to feed me, hey, did you hear me, little girl?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Princess Alisa, who was holding the queen, finally calmed down, and put down the fork that was reaching for the dessert plate.

Just don't go so violent as to pick her up and say you want to raise her...

In other words, that's what happened!I finally understood the reason for the Queen's unusual behavior this morning.

"Speaking of which, I owed you a reward when I competed with you before? I didn't expect to owe you another favor this time." The queen shook her head lightly.

She didn't mention it and I almost forgot about it.
