Civilization Guardian Front

"No, I've only done that to enemies."

Riveria was dubious about this.

"But why would I..."

"The only reason I can think of is because you drink the divine wine made by Soma."

"God wine?"

"Well, Somo is a god who puts all his thoughts on brewing wine, and doesn't manage his family at all. The wine he makes is indeed a rare wine in the world, but ordinary people will be fascinated after drinking it..."

Chios took out the divine wine that was previously opened on the top floor from the emblem space, and placed it on the coffee table at hand.

The mellow aroma of the wine escapes through the pores of the cork and spreads in the limited space of the room.

"The head of the Suma family was caught by me recently. In order not to be hanged, he had to hand over three gallons of divine wine to me every week. Not long ago, I let you taste it, which is hard to find in the market. Fantasy Yipin, I wanted to tell you that you were a Lv.6 adventurer, so the divine wine should not bring you any side effects... But it turns out that I was wrong."

He smiled wryly, as if he was ashamed of his lack of thoughtfulness, and gently scratched his chin with his left index finger.

Hearing this, Riveria no longer doubted the other party.

"So you brought me into this room because you were worried about my gaffe, didn't you?"

"...yes."

"..."

Riveria remained silent.

Knowing that Chios had no bad intentions was a good thing, but she didn't have time to be happy about it, and the next question came one after another.

What did you say and do when you were drunk?

Seeing Chios' hesitating, awkward yet polite smile, Riveria managed to maintain her composure on the surface, but in fact, she was already extremely flustered inside.

What, what, what, what, what! ! ! ? ?

Want to ask?Or don't mention it at all...

(Chios is a considerate and gentle person, if I don't ask, he will definitely pretend to forget...)

But it's really hard not to care.

In the long silence, I struggled repeatedly in my heart, and finally I still couldn't suppress the idea of ​​exploring.

"It's... embarrassing, isn't it?" Riveria resisted the urge to run away, and organized her words:

"Did my words and actions... bother you?"

To her surprise, Chios shook his head.

"No, at least as far as I am concerned, you didn't embarrass me with a single word..." Chios grabbed the bottom of the wine bottle, tilted the bottle and poured himself a glass of wine.

A deep red wine with a tinge of purple through the light, as beautiful as the finest garnet.

"If it wasn't for Shenjiu, I would really give up and keep a distance from you. From this aspect, I should actually be grateful for this accident."

"Varied?"

Riveria's heart almost stopped beating.

"It's really a dramatic unfolding, one second told me not to misunderstand, but the next moment he hugged me and shouted not to go..."

Chios looked emotional and drank a full five ounces of divine wine.

Putting down the empty glass, he licked his lips unsatisfied, then walked towards the bed.

"You asked me to bring you to the room too. It's a pity that you fell asleep as soon as the back of your head touched the pillow, otherwise we might have shared the same bed...but it doesn't matter, as long as you make it up now."

"Wait, wait a minute, don't come over..."

Facing the approaching youth, the bewildered elf royal family completely forgot that they could escape, and hugged the quilt to the bedside.

Seeing this, the corners of Chios' mouth curled up slightly.

He knew very well that this was a manifestation of the subconscious giving up resistance.

The reason why he deliberately slowed down his pace because of his rich experience in love was to observe how Riveria would react.

Both words and deeds can deceive people, but the latter is definitely much more honest than the former, and it is easier to expose flaws.

Approaching the edge of the bed, he stretched out his hand to press the woman's shoulder and gave it a gentle push.

Riveria lay down on the mattress like a helpless puppet.

"you're drunk..."

She turned her face to avoid facing Chios directly.

The slender eyelashes trembled uneasily.

I also want to know, how can a Lv.6 adventurer be so weak?

It's just trying to comfort myself as a victim.

"maybe..."

Chios followed the other party's train of thought and continued.

call...

The breath mixed with the intoxicating aroma of the divine wine was blown on Riveria's face at close range.

"Shenjiu made us make mistakes, but I don't want to treat it as if nothing happened. I hope you don't run away either, and redeem your sins with me, okay?"

"Hmm..." Riveria closed her eyes.

She accepted the excuse.

"Ace, I'm sorry."

Chapter 770? Compromise

The grand dinner lasted until midnight.

Many guests staggered away from the venue with the support of their companions, and even the entire family from the main god to the group members were wiped out, and the waiter had to temporarily arrange a room for them to spend the night.

When asked by the host whether to follow the same procedure and return to the Twilight Pavilion the next day, Riveria refused without hesitation.

Disappearing from the sight of his companions for more than three hours after the meeting was enough to draw people's imaginations. If the inability to drink was used as an excuse to stay, all members of the Loki family would probably be able to guess that it was related to Chios.

She didn't want to turn her face and deny anyone. In fact, after experiencing the ardor of Chios, she didn't think she would be able to refuse the other's courtship in the future.

The default mutual relationship does not mean that it will be made public.

The identity of the elf royal family is no joke.

Once the news of the close relationship between the two spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Of course, Chios, as the hero of Oraris, has the backing of one million residents of the Labyrinth City and more than [-] adventurers. Can't beat him.Regardless of whether the elves exert pressure from diplomacy, military or a combination of both, I believe Chios has the means to counter it.

Trouble is yet to come...

Realizing that they couldn't beat Chios and were forced to admit the relationship between the two, the tribesmen in their hometown were most likely to do forced marriage.

From the perspective of parents and clansmen, this is already the bottom line for concessions.

It is absolutely unacceptable for a dignified elf Wang family princess to be a lover for a human being.

For any normal person, if Chios refuses this request, which seems very reasonable and reasonable, he will instantly become the wronged party and earn the title of "human scum".

Chios is indeed a scum...

Although it is not good to evaluate the object of his love in this way, it is an indisputable fact that Chios has a close relationship with many girls.

The problem is that he is not thorough enough to sever ties with women in order to protect himself.

In the face of forced marriage, Chios will certainly not be able to occupy the moral high ground and win the support of the majority of people as he did in the past.

While showing off his tricks to the outside world, he also had to face accusations and crying from other girls internally.

At that time, Chios will probably be very embarrassed...

Therefore, for the sake of Chios who is not as shrewd and cruel, and to save her personal face, Riveria can only feel wronged by herself and try her best to avoid the exposure of this relationship.

After using healing magic to heal the injury from the first taste of the forbidden fruit, Riveria picked up the scattered holy royal gowns and put them on neatly. After kissing the young man who had guessed what she was thinking and whose face became complicated, he left the room alone.

With her back leaning against the door, she heard the sigh of the young man behind her.

Just as she longed to turn around and put aside everything to embrace the young man and fall asleep, the other party also had the urge to chase her back regardless.

It's just that the two of them have already passed the age of not knowing the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and they both know that if they do this, what will greet them will not be happiness like a dream, but a long suffering with no end in sight.

Real love requires compromise.

The hero with almost perfect conditions also has the shortcomings of inconsistency, and the elf princess who has gone far away still has difficulties beyond her control.

If you want to continue walking on this thorny road, you can't deceive yourself and others. You have to recognize the reality, carefully balance the emotional temperature without getting burned, and prepare for the worst situation.

"Atone for sin with a lifetime..."

Muttering the words that dragged her into the abyss she couldn't extricate herself from, Riveria said goodbye to the weakness in her heart, and resolutely walked to the lower courtyard where the guests left one after another.

Chios said he was the only man worthy of her.

Now it seems that maybe it is.

...

5/24

On the 18th floor of the underground city, "Maze Paradise"...

"Here, a total of 816000 Farleys."

"thanks."

In front of the money exchange counter, Ai Si accepted the nine full money bags in the open drawer with a blank expression.

Stuffing the money bag into the split pocket, he walked out of the guild branch.

She put one hand flat on her forehead to block the light, looked up at the luminous crystal above the floor, and based on the brightness, she judged that it was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Sorry, I misremembered the time again."

Refia, who was a supporter, said dejectedly.

"I'm used to the back and forth journey before, and it's normal to feel mistakes..." Tiona, who had just finished exchanging money and walked out of the gate, waved her hands, her tone comforting her:

"Anyway, the harvest is not less than before, don't worry about it!"

On the side, Tione withdrew her gaze towards the roof, glanced at the tidy road paved with flat stone slabs in front of the guild stronghold and the shops lined up on the left and right, and suggested:

"There's still a lot of time, do you want to hang out on the street?"

Ace hesitated.

"If you take a stroll around..."

"Oh~ are you going to find Chios later?" Tiana's eyes flickered with curiosity.

"Recently, I've been running to the castle every morning and evening. Ace, you are really active...Hey, what do you do when the two of you are alone?"

"..."

Faced with this privacy-related question, Ai Si's cheeks flushed slightly.

I'm not good at lying, and I don't want to answer honestly, so I have to keep my head down.

"Ah...it hurts! What are you doing, Tione?"

Tiona, who was suddenly elbowed by the twin sisters, asked while clutching her waist.

"I blame you for asking some questions."

"Uh..."

Tiona followed the direction indicated by her sister's pouted lips, and soon saw Refia who seemed to have faded away from other colors and turned into a black and white portrait.

"It's been so long and her condition hasn't improved..."

"A senior whom we admire is chased away by someone we like, that kind of blow is beyond our imagination."

"What should we do now?"

"Stop irritating her, just pretend it's okay."
