The Missing Hat of the Black Mage and the White Prince

Chapter 6

Fars has been to many countries, but he has never been to Loya, the capital of Stemes United Kingdom.

In the history of the United Kingdom of Stemes, Loya was occupied by enemy countries many times and became a subsidiary city of other countries. However, this city that has experienced countless wars still belongs to the United Kingdom of Stemes, and proudly It has become its heart, and it is also one of the most prosperous cities in the whole Yag continent.

Fars doesn't like to come to such a prosperous place. Although there are countless treasures here, there are relatively annoying followers of the Illuminati Church.

The bigger the city, the more those pesky believers.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Fars saw the white steeple. He frowned in disgust, and felt the smell of the enchantment of light in the air, so he coughed unnaturally.

It was very late when they entered the city. The soldiers guarding the city immediately lowered the drawbridge when they saw the prince coming back, and the patrolling soldiers came to escort them back to the palace.

Although the streets are quiet and deserted, from the perspective of the environment, one can still imagine how prosperous it is during the day.

There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, and occasionally faint lights can be seen from the windows on the second floor; the fountain in the middle of the square is still spouting water, reflecting the soft moonlight and the cold metal reflections on the soldiers' spears.

Fars walked by silently. Compared with some small cities, Loya is indeed much more beautiful.

The center of Loya is the magnificent palace, which is one of the few bright places in Loya, which is currently sleeping.

The marble steps are covered with a bright red carpet, and there are exquisitely carved stone guardrails, and there are heavily armed soldiers every few steps.

Fars was carried up the steps by Elaine, and stopped involuntarily when he reached the last step.

He bit his lip. To ordinary humans, it was just a step, but to him, every step was a powerful barrier of light.

"What's wrong?" Elaine next to him looked at him worriedly.

The originally fair skin looked even paler under the light, and the black eyes were a little moist. Perhaps it was because of the night or the fog that made him look weaker and weaker.Elaine hugged him tightly.

As they stopped, the whole team stopped naturally.

Ladd turned around, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Fars suspiciously. "Oh, I heard that there are powerful barriers of light around the palace, and it looks like you don't like them."

"I'm just tired," Fars countered.

Elaine bowed her head to him in her arms and said, "Shall I carry you away?"

Fars shook his head lightly, took a step forward, and walked up the steps.

Seeing this, Ladd just raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked into the palace without saying anything.

Fars could only pay careful attention to the frequency and volume of his breathing.It is indeed a powerful enchantment set up by the Church of Light, and it is indeed very powerful.

For him, tearing the barrier is much easier than passing through it, but if he does so, he will be discovered by the mages of the Church of Light immediately, so he will be suspected and unable to get close to Elaine.

Ladd went ahead and asked the soldiers next to him. "Where's the high priest?"

"Master Langlord has something to leave Loya, and he just left today." The soldier next to him replied immediately.

Rad frowned, glanced at Fars and looked away.

"Ural." Elaine suddenly called someone's name.

The next moment, a dark-skinned man flashed behind him.

He was wearing a dark blue robe, had a pair of rare purple eyes, and his long silver hair was tied neatly behind his head, and he bowed to Elaine with his sleeves rolled up. "Yes, Your Highness."

"Ural, please help me arrange a place for this...guest." Elaine looked at Fars, paused and said, "By the way, just give him Legg's room."

"Okay, Your Highness." Ural's voice was very soft, which made people feel good. He turned to Fars and said, "Please follow me."

Fars didn't move, but grabbed Elaine's sleeve instead. "What about you?" He didn't want to let the subject lose track casually.

Seeing Fars showing a timid expression, Elaine immediately comforted him softly. "I'm going to find the guards and let them go out of the city to search for traces of the dragon. You go to rest first."

Fars nodded, but still did not let him go.

Elaine thought he was still uneasy, so she quickly promised, "I'll come to see you after I finish my business."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Fars let go and nodded again.

So, Elaine turned to discuss the dragon with Ladd, and Ural led Fars into the depths of the palace.

This is a very gorgeous palace, and it can be seen that the kings of all dynasties were extremely luxurious and paid great attention to the home environment.

Delicate flowers are carved on the white Roman columns, epic stories are painted on the walls, and magical lights and various portraits are hung.

The marble in the corridor is so bright that it can reflect people's reflections. Even in the middle of the night, there are still servants passing through it.

There were silver candlesticks and flowers on the small tables beside them. When they walked by, the candles did not flicker.

After walking for about half an hour, Ural opened a door and went in to light a candle, and the whole room was lit up immediately.

Fars looked it over. Although the room was indeed good according to the servant's standard, it was simply too simple according to his standard.

He frowned, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.

Ural smiled, "For you, this place is indeed too simple, great mage."

Fars was stunned, and turned his head to stare at Ural, those purple eyes shone strangely under the candlelight.

He sat down on the chair next to him, his red cloak drawing an elegant arc. "I haven't seen your people for a long time."

"They're not my people." Ural said softly, stretching out his hands to gather his silver hair, his voice was slow and elegant, "You know, they don't accept people with impure blood."

Fars smiled. "Of course, to the dark elves, bloodlines mean everything, and noble bloodlines are never allowed to be tarnished."

"But in my opinion, these are worthless." Ural replied softly.

"I'm surprised, do people here accept half-elves? Especially you, a hybrid of dark elves and humans."

"My father is the king's younger brother, so humans will keep me." Ural smiled, "But no one knows about this, even His Royal Highness Elaine doesn't know. He only knows that I am the head of the palace."

"Oh." Fars stretched his waist, his black eyes narrowed slightly, "Where is Elaine's room?"

"It's next door to you." Ural replied politely, "It turned out to be the room of His Highness the Prince's entourage, Legg. He has already left. I heard that he left with his lover during the last trip."

"It seems that I can be a follower." With his chin propped up, Fals said in a mocking voice, "It's really not easy." It sounds like this Legg is probably the follower that Geer fancy, thanks to them, Only then will he be treated as raped.Although in fact it's just because I'm greedy for petty gains...

"Why did you come? A mage like you..." Ural said softly, "it will bring bad luck to the countries passing by."

Fars laughed, his delicate facial features revealing a childish innocence. "I don't look that annoying, do I?"

"It is said that the place where you walked will be dead, and the living things will become dead, the black-robed godfather." Ural bowed, and his silver hair blocked his purple eyes.

"Have you seen me?" Fars was curious, but did not deny the legend.

"Yes, at a dark elf banquet——you didn't notice me."

Fars tilted his head and thought for a while, but he really couldn't remember Ural's appearance. "How old were you at that time? And as far as I know, people like you can't attend the gathering of the dark elves, right?"

"It was 20 years ago, Master Mage." Ural said, "My mother is the royal family of the dark elves, so even a half-elf like me is allowed to participate."

Smiling, Fars did not go on.Among the dark elves, the status of women is much higher than that of men, and the highest status in the family is the grandmother.If Ural's mother is the royal family of the dark elves, then Ural's status is also very high among the dark elves.

"Please forgive my offense, what are you coming to Loya for?" Ural finally got to the point.

But Fars felt that he didn't need to explain more to a mixed-race boy, so he waved his hand and signaled Ural to leave.

Ural did not move, but said with his usual softness and firmness: "I will defend this country until the end of my life."

"...Maybe the lifespan of this country is not as long as yours."

"In my lifetime, I will stick to this promise and not let others hurt it." Ural said, his tone is so gentle, but it is not difficult to hear the seriousness in his words.

Fars shook his head. "Go out, I won't do anything for now."

"Then I'm leaving." Ural looked at him for a while before saying softly.

Fars rested his chin and looked at the candles on the table. When Ural left, he didn't lift his eyelids.

Now he's in the country and he's approaching the man.

Although he gave the aphrodisiac that night, and he was the one who couldn't beat the opponent... But the black robe mage has always been unreasonable, so he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

It's just that black magic has no effect on this prince. Why?As far as he knew, black magic was as lethal as white magic. Even if Elaine had a barrier of light on her body, how did such a powerful and movable barrier appear?Could that kind of power help me...

Thinking of this, his heart tightened, as if the air suddenly became thinner.In this world, is there really a great power that makes all magic disappear?

Is there really a non-magic enchantment that calms the soul?

He suddenly thought of Elaine's blue eyes.He is a gentle and kind man, although under the influence of aphrodisiacs he can be as rude as a barbarian...

Sighing depressingly, Fals remembered those eyes full of lust, even though he had also fallen with him...he thought with some embarrassment.

But now, he just wanted to find out where the power of that perfect enchantment came from.

He forgot about himself very naturally and without guilt... Great, it's easier to get close to him this way, although... Holding his hands on his chest, Fars felt an inexplicable, never-before-seen disappointment.

He forgot about me.Fars thought a little bit disappointed and unwilling.That crazy night, the shame he left him can be deeply remembered by him for the rest of his life, but he has easily forgotten it...

Elaine was so busy that she took the court mage and some priests of the church to look for the dragon's footprints outside the city overnight.

Fortunately, all the mages believed that the dragon had left, and they were very sure that the dragon he and Ladd described was not summoned by a mage, because there was no such powerful mage on the continent of Yag.What's more, if there is, he can make the whole city disappear in an instant, so why summon a black dragon?

Elaine was immediately relieved when he heard the words, and asked them to check the cave that trapped their group earlier, because he saw that Fars had made a promise to Yeke, so he was very worried, but several mages looked around, They didn't find Yeke, so they had to obey Elaine's order and made a barrier around the cave to trap Yeke.

When these things were over, it was already dawn, and the rising sun fell on the steps of the palace, and Elaine sighed wearily.

He patted his friend Ladd on the shoulder and told him to rest. He returned to the dormitory after confirming the order of the guards' shift.

When he passed the entourage's room, he realized that Fars had already lived here.

Seeing that the door was not closed, he turned and walked in after thinking about it.

As a result, he saw his red cloak thrown on the ground, and a black-haired young man was sleeping in the middle of the bed.

The sun playfully fell on his eyelids, coating his fair skin with a soft light yellow.

His eyelashes are long and cast a lovely shadow around his eye sockets, and he has a straight nose and beautiful lips.

From a man's point of view, this man's body is too slender. He is lying on his side, the blanket outlines his thin figure, and the black hair spreads out charming lines on the white quilt.

Elaine sat down beside the bed fascinatedly, looking at his sleeping face.I seem to have seen him somewhere, his appearance and breath are so familiar...

The slender fingertips caressed Fars' cheek, and the delicate touch made Elaine seem to be tempted by something invisible, sliding along the cheek to the elegant neck.

He could feel the blood rushing under the cool and thin skin...

He couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed Fars' cheek. The moment his lips touched the skin, he seemed to wake up from a dream, stood up suddenly, and knocked down a chair in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the person on the bed only frowned slightly, but did not open his eyes.

Elaine was still in shock.I can't believe that I'm meeting someone I've only known for a day...

Some part of the body changed - just because of a kiss?He couldn't help but underestimate his own self-control.

As a nobleman, this is really an unacceptable thing, but even so, his breathing is still heavy, and all he can think of is to press this beautiful black-haired young man under him...

The Knights of Light should be ashamed of such an idea!

It took a lot of effort before Elaine regained her composure and helped up the chair that fell on the ground.

Maybe just too tired.He said to himself, and then very restrained, he looked away from the alluring body and walked out of the room.

The god of light is above, desire can really easily corrupt people.

Dragging his tired body back to his room, Elaine put his body on the soft bed after taking a shower.

He was obviously tired, but when he closed his eyes, Fals' face appeared again.

It was obviously the first time seeing this person, why did he feel familiar?

What is even more puzzling is that he is familiar with him, even his body, the space needed for this body to be held in his arms, and the cold and soft skin...

Elaine slowly closed her eyes, feeling as if something important had been forgotten.

At noon, Elaine woke up.

As a prince, even if you are tired, you should not let your body indulge in the soft bed all the time.

He was just about to call out to his attendant, but after thinking about it, he decided to put it on himself.

Looking at his vigorous self in the mirror, he fastened his saber and walked out of the room.

I have already missed breakfast in the morning, so in terms of courtesy, I can't miss the time to have lunch with my father anyway.

Elaine stopped when she walked in front of Fars' door, and gently opened the door.

The black-haired young man was still sleeping, which seemed unqualified for him as a follower, but...seeing Fars' sleeping face, he couldn't help showing a doting smile, and gently closed the door.

The restaurant of the palace is very large, with a row of arched doors on one side, and you can see the garden and fountain outside. On the long dining table, Elaine was the last to arrive.

He clenched his right hand into a fist against his left chest, and bowed to the man sitting in the main seat. "Sorry, Your Majesty, I'm late."

The blond man on the main seat smiled and asked him to sit on his right.

As soon as Elaine sat down, she heard a burst of chaotic footsteps. Turning her head, she saw Fars running over in a panic, followed by Ural.

When Fars was in a good dream, he was suddenly awakened by the intruding Ural, and he was put on the clothes of his followers before he understood the situation.

"If your current role is a follower, then please act like a follower!" The always elegant dark elf shouted at him, and then dragged him to the restaurant.

Seeing everyone at the table staring at him, Fals scratched his head in embarrassment for the first time.

"Please stand behind His Highness the Prince." Ural reminded, and Fars immediately walked behind Elaine.

Elaine did not turn her head, but frowned at Ural. "Fals was injured yesterday, and he was too tired. You should let him rest."

Before Ural could speak, the king spoke. "Elaine, is this your new follower?"

Elaine half stood up and bowed to the king. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Fars had never met the king of the United Kingdom of Stemes, but that was because he had lived for a long time, so the king had changed several times.

It's just that he has heard about the king in some rumors.

A strict man, and meticulous, it seems to be seen from his appearance.

The very three-dimensional outline, with edges and corners, is as regular as the stones of the city wall.

Elaine looks a lot like his father, but he is gentler, maybe because of his mother's inheritance, and his blue eyes soften the whole line.

When the king's ice-blue eyes looked at him, Fars quickly lowered his head, believing that the other party would not like to see contempt and boredom in his eyes.

The king's eyes stayed on him for a while and then moved away, never caring about the change of his followers.

Lunch officially began after the king announced that it was time to dine.

The table was covered with a white tablecloth, with silver utensils and flowers picked in the morning.There were not many people at the table. It is said that the eldest prince went to a neighboring country for some political affairs.Elaine is the second son, so diplomatic matters have nothing to do with him.

Besides the king and Elaine, there were two maidens at the table.

Sitting next to Elaine was a girl with black curly hair, and the one opposite Elaine had blond curly hair. Except for the color of their hair, they looked very similar. If the hair color was removed, even their parents would not be able to recognize them.

Before coming here, Ural had told Fars on the run that the twin princesses were Elaine's sisters.

There were only a few people dining, but the plates were all over the table in front of them, the red wine exuded an attractive aroma, and the whole meal was so quiet that almost no sound could be heard.

Fals looked at Elaine's meal, and he didn't expect this barbarian to eat so quietly. He could see many people who made the sound of knives and forks extremely loud.

But he hadn't eaten since he got here, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw them eating.

But Fars is a black-robed mage—whether white or black-robed, he always maintains perfect demeanor and etiquette, so no matter how angry he is, he never shows the fact that he is hungry and crazy.

Just when he was thinking about what to eat later, and thinking about how to sneak out of the palace to find Yeke's hat, there was another sound of footsteps in the distance.

Ural walked in front, followed by a handsome man. The appearance of this man made Fars raise his eyebrows, because he smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Sorry to interrupt your meal." The handsome man bowed to the king, and then raised his head. It was a face that would make a woman's heart flutter.

"It's Earl Edward, please sit down and have a meal together." The king greeted with a smile.

"Thank you for your generosity." Earl Edward bowed and sat down respectfully beside the blonde curly-haired princess. The servant immediately set the tableware for him.
