Rick held the girl's hand, nodded, and said softly: "Come here."

"Eh?" Rick's tone was mysterious and he looked at him straight. Belle couldn't help but blush and leaned over his ears.

Bo.

Rick took the opportunity to kiss Belle's blown face gently, and he smiled as if he had succeeded in his trick.

The girl took a deep breath and pressed her hand unconsciously on the place where Rick had kissed just now, a lovable blush appeared on the bridge of her pointed and straight nose.

"Ahem...is disturbing." A blonde man leaned against the door, cleared his throat as if he was serious, and then shook his hair narcissistically.

"Hey, Mihair, you're really not interested enough. After peeking outside the door for so long, you actually chose to rush in at this time!" Behind Mihair was a charming man with long purple hair. His wrist was pressed against his waist, and his palm was turned out like an orchid finger raised. In addition to looking charming, it actually had a unique flavor.

"Felus, shut up, you didn't think you made this idea?" Michel turned around and pulled the purple long hair man's hair and said viciously.

"Shut up, both of you." Diego pushed Michel and Phirus away. He stood between them and knew that the sun was much brighter. Unlike them, they had long hair. Diego's delicate short hair seemed to be born for him.

Belle stared at the three people outside the door blankly, and he only had a little impression of Michel and Phirus. The girl quickly stood up embarrassedly and gracefully wrote the sea god's ritual, not blocking them and Rick.

"Wow, your wife really understands the rules. It's hard to find young, beautiful, dignified and virtuous women these days." Michel praised Belle exaggeratedly while winking at Rick lying on the bed.

"Why are you three here?" Michelle had never been through it. Rick had been used to it for a long time and ignored his words and asked.

"You have been back from such a serious injury. How can you come to see you as a brother?" Michelle laughed and sat beside Rick's bed, crossing her legs and said, "Correction, more than three. His Highness Aaron also cares about you very much, and specially brought you the Kato flower wine you most reluctant to drink to reward you."

After saying that, Aaron walked in very cooperatively, carrying the valuable wine. He used the color to Rick, as if saying, "Come on, have a good drink."

Rick smiled bitterly, but heard Belle stammeringly say, "Kyle...drinking alcohol hurts your body..."

"Hahaha, look how much this lady cares about you. Marry her as soon as possible. We will arrange a grand wedding banquet for you to ensure that all the senior executives of the Kato Empire will show up to give you face. How about?" Phirus scratched the long purple hair on his shoulder behind his ears, and his smile was so charming.

Belle blushed and glanced at Rick secretly, lowering her head and silently.

Getting married? I haven't thought about it yet, and the progress with Lan'er has not been so fast...

Rick thought for a while and laughed: "Don't worry, wait until I graduate from Mingx first." Although he has long been adult, Rick does not think that flash marriage is the best destination for the two.

"Hey, you're so confident, Miss Belle, will you accept Kyle's proposal?" Michel glanced at Rick with disdain. He thought that how could a beautiful woman like Belle easily agree to her heart.

Rick smiled disapprovingly. Belle was willing to contribute half of his life to him. The two of them can now be said to be one soul and their relationship has been sublimated to this level. How could the girl refuse his proposal?

However, something unexpected happened.

Belle looked embarrassed and obviously hesitated. She did not act like this because she was shy, but was indeed considering this matter carefully.

Rick was also slightly stunned. He thought Belle shyly rejected this jokey suggestion. But the girl took this matter seriously. After careful consideration, she lowered her head and turned to the side. She dared not look at Rick. She said with a complicated expression: "I'm sorry... Kyle, I... I... can't..."

Rick suddenly felt as if something was missing. He looked at Belle in surprise, suddenly came to his senses and realized a very serious problem.

Yes, I almost forgot! As a priest of the sea god, I can't get married for life. These girls must devote their youth to the gods they believe in... Rick still clearly remembers that his friend Kakaro told her this secret on the Southeast Islands.

Lan'er has never been able to integrate into the Ero continent because the belief in the Sea God has been deeply rooted in her mind. It seems that marrying her is still a big problem. For Lan'er, marriage is a betrayal of the Sea God...

Rick shook his head helplessly. He understood Belle's entangled mood at this moment, so he smiled.

However, in Michel and Phirus's opinion, Belle's rejection was very cruel, and it simply cut off any man's idea. The two stared at Rick with pitiful eyes, indicating that he would be mournful and follow the changes.

"Hahaha, we seem to have misunderstood something. Let's not talk about this. Kyle, when will your injury be cured?" Mihale realized that the atmosphere was wrong and quickly smiled awkwardly and began to change the topic.

"I don't know, I can't even raise my fingers now." Rick's face was still a little pale, and he saw signs of serious injury not healed.

"What a pity, there is a beautiful woman who serves you every day, but you can't do anything. Alas..." Phirus looked at Rick with a smile and muttered.

Rick rolled his eyes at him. Although he didn't hear clearly, he knew what this guy was thinking through his eyes.

"What a pity, then we won't disturb Kyle's rest." Aaron shook the wine in his hand and smiled slightly, saying goodbye to Rick.

Michel and Firus were originally planning to stay here as light bulbs, but Diego locked his shoulders hard and forced them to go out.

"Kyle, I'll see you again!" Phirus's disgusting voice made Rick get goosebumps all over his body.

"This was originally a room for two of us. Now I will give you a favor to you alone. Don't ruin my kindness." Mihair smiled, showed a man's expression that he could understand, and waved to leave.

However, the four scums of the Saint Capital suddenly stopped in front of Rick's room. For a moment, Michel and Phirus also put away their cynical attitudes and no longer looked like they were smiling. The atmosphere in the room immediately became stiff.

Rick frowned and his eyes passed through the four people. He found Jim standing at the door and happened to meet them.

Jim was also seriously injured by a sword, but he did not hurt his meridians and bones, so with his Earth Knight's physique, he had almost recovered in about a week.

Jim was not as unconscientious as Aaron and the others. He deliberately brought wine to stimulate Rick, but came to visit him with fresh fruit.

This time, he didn't come alone, and there was a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing beside him.

"Oh Jim, didn't you tell me that this is so lively? Look, His Highness Aaron, the eldest son of the Cato Empire, Michel, the eldest son of the Duke of Lakshata, Phirus, the eldest son of the Duke of Crilon, and Diego, whose father is the largest merchant in the Saint Capital. Tsk, are all the elites of our empire, the four eldest sons?" The young man in a gorgeous costume looked at the four people with a smile on his face, actually mocking their secret name: the four scums.

"Isn't this Parby from the Duke of Izerland? When did you become Jim's follower?" Phirus's face darkened, then he changed into a bright smile and covered his mouth and said sarcastically.

Diego looked at Jim and Parby with hostility, repelling their arrival.

The two brothers Aaron and Jim seemed much calmer, and they looked at each other and said nothing.

Only Mihair's expression was very complicated, because his father's swaying position, he was also very shaken.

Oops, it was really jealous when the enemy met... Rick covered his forehead helplessly. What he didn't want to see the two camps Aaron and Jim had a head-on conflict. As an intermediary, Rick's situation was really embarrassing.

"Let's go." Nodded friendly to Jim and Pabby, Aaron smiled generously, as if he didn't care at all.

Phirus and Pabby stared at each other. Along with the silent Michelle and the hostile Diego, he left Aaron.

From beginning to end, Jim never said a word. Only Aaron walked by silently, his whole body shook slightly, looking a little shaken.

"Hmph." Staring at the four people's departure, Pabby smiled disdainfully, then locked his eyes on Rick, and walked over with a loud laugh, "Long time no see Kyle, I didn't expect that when we met for the second time, you would be lying in bed and unable to get up!"

Rick met Parby, the son of the three Dukes, because Jim got drunk at that time, and the three of them made a big fuss in the Sharkhead Tavern.

Parby is the freshman champion of the MINX Knights Academy. Rick’s impression of him is that in addition to being good at strength, he is also a passionate man, and it only takes one sentence to fight or kill.

"Parby, Kyle just woke up and probably didn't have the strength to speak." Jim placed the fruit on the round table in front of Rick's bed, and politely gave Belle a noble ceremony.

The girl hadn't figured out why there was such a heavy smell of gunpowder just now, so she replied to the Sea God's Tribute.

"Hahaha, Jim, are you too considerate? The beautiful lady next to you will have any objections." Pabby smiled sunnyly, patted Rick's bed, and said excitedly: "Hey, when will we go to Sharkhead Tavern to have a drink again? That rogue swordsman has been waiting for us, maybe."

Rick smiled, he still remembered that Jim used a trick to deceive the master of the tavern, and the three of them were able to escape unscathed.

"This time, why don't we join forces and meet that guy later!" Pabi was ready to beat. He felt that he had suffered a loss last time, and now he wanted to go to the Shark Head Tavern.

"Kyle was seriously injured. It will take a while to heal. Don't make trouble." Jim looked at Parby, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and then said seriously to Rick: "Kyle, remember your life-saving grace in my heart."

Jim half-kneeled and gave the most formal noble ceremony.

"Dian... Jim, don't be so arrogant. We are all friends who have been through life and death. What else do you say?" Rick wanted to get up and help Jim up. He couldn't stand the kneeling ceremony of the dignified imperial prince, but he was weak all over and could only use color to Parbi.

"Well... Jim, there are many ways to express gratitude. Kyle is quite embarrassing to do this like this." Parby tactfully solved Rick's problem.

Jim nodded, stood up again, looked at Rick seriously, and said, "I can't make any promises now. If there is a future, Kyle, you will be a rising star in the Empire."

Pabby was slightly stunned and glanced at Rick with some envy.

What this means...Will he seize the throne of the Kato Empire and then promote me? Rick's mood immediately became heavy. He knew that sooner or later he would make a decision between Aaron and Jim, and that one wrong step would be an endless consequence.

Rick absent-mindedly perfunctorily Jim, basically asking questions and answers. Pabby thought he was tired, so he stopped disturbing him.

"Kyle, say goodbye." Pabby bowed and took the noble ceremony and left the room with Jim.

As soon as the two left, a layer of haze was stained on Rick's face. He looked at the ceiling quietly with his head raised.

"Kyle, we will all be from His Highness Aaron's side in the future." Diego said this when awarding the Baron Rick's Order.

"He's not Aaron..." Jim's eyes were extremely certain when he said this.

The conflict between these two brothers really made it difficult for me as a little character. Rick sighed. At this point, he had regarded Jim as his good brother. No matter which side was eliminated, he didn't want to see it.

"Kyle, what's wrong with you? You always feel that you are worried when you wake up, which is not conducive to your physical recovery." Since meeting Rick, Belle has been changing little by little. She is not as stupid as before, and she has begun to know how to observe her words and expressions.

Rick shook his head gently. Naturally, such things cannot be pulled into the water. Her pure and flawless heart cannot accept the cruel struggle for the throne.

"Where is Xin and Grey?" Rick asked casually, looking out the window.

"Xin Zheng was busy practicing sword skills with his mentor. He took the time to see you go back before you woke up." Belle poked his finger at his pointed chin and recalled: "Actually, the one who is worried about you the most is Grey. She is busy taking care of you every day, and she also said that you should be awake, so she asked me to pick her up."

This little girl...Rick is not a fool, and Gri's intention has long been spread to his heart.

"Grey also said that when you wake up, you will see me at first sight..." Belle secretly glanced at Rick, twisted his fingers together, and said timidly: "Hey, Kyle, do you think Grey likes you..."

Rick was slightly stunned and quickly said, "What are you talking about? Grey is just a child, how can she understand any feelings."

"But Grey told me a lot of knowledge that girls should know, such as how to be likeable, I feel that she and I know more." Belle looked into Rick's eyes, hoping that he would give herself an answer.

Gently flicked the girl's forehead in the white robe, Rick smiled and said, "I only have Lan'er in my heart."

Belle blushed and nodded shyly.

There were suddenly heavy footsteps outside the door. Rick and Belle were slightly stunned, and only Xin was anxiously heard, "Hey, Grey, where are you going?" Then another footsteps gradually faded away. (~^~)
