Chapter 394 Something is wrong with Bastian
The sudden approach of the boy made Erin's heart skip a beat.
She hurriedly took out her hand, took two steps back, and said angrily:
"What are you talking about? You're itchy again, aren't you?"
The golden eyes narrowed slightly, and the young man's eyes were fixed on the tips of Irene's ears.
Tsk, even though I was angry, the tips of my ears were still pink.
It seems that I remember correctly. Your earlobes are really sensitive and cute.
The smile on his lips faded, and the young man took a step back very consciously.
He raised his hands and covered his ears in a gesture of surrender.
"That's wrong. Teacher, don't pull your ears. It really hurts."
"........."
Pursing her red lips, Irene looked at the boy without speaking for a long time.
It was obviously the same as usual, Bastian looked like he was trying to die.
But Eileen felt that there was something vaguely wrong with the boy begging for mercy at this time.
"Hey." After pondering for a long time to no avail, Irene snorted coldly,
"Stop your arrogance, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, so be more serious.
"What's more, this is the Sanctuary Square. Thousands of people are watching your every move. Don't cause any trouble."
"But..." As if thinking of something, Irene's tone softened again,
"Don't be nervous. I will always be here. Just move forward boldly."
"Here?" The young man looked around and asked with a frown:
"Teacher, won't you go up with me?"
Irene was stunned when she heard this, "Of course I won't go up with you."
"Why don't you accompany me?" the boy asked.
"Huh? Didn't anyone tell you?" Seeing the boy's confused look, Irene frowned slightly.
"In the coming of age ceremony of the Crown Prince, the person who can work hand in hand with him must be the Crown Princess."
The young man retorted: "But I'm not married yet, so where can I find a crown princess?
"What's more, everyone knows that you are not only my teacher, but also my uncle's fiancée and my future aunt.
"My uncle can't be with me at such an important moment. It's natural for you to be by my side."
"No." Eileen refused bluntly.
"Even if you are not married, even if I am your future aunt, I cannot stand by your side.
"This is etiquette and a rule. It cannot be broken, let alone cause misunderstandings among people."
Phew, boring!
What nonsense etiquette and rules, I just want to cause everyone to misunderstand!
The young man had a look of realization on his face, but extreme anger surged in his heart.
The young man nodded and agreed: "Well, the teacher is right, I am too narrow-minded, but..."
The golden eyes turned and looked in the direction behind Irene.
"Teacher, if you don't want to accompany me, please ask Mark Loel to accompany me as the escort knight.
"I heard Sean say that Mark used to be in the Royal Knights, and he was considered a knight with high combat power.
"With him guarding me, I can... feel more at ease."
No, I can definitely make him die faster.
Hearing Bastian's words, Irene's heart twitched again for some unknown reason.
But she didn't show it, she just raised her eyebrows and said jokingly: "What? You don't believe me?
"I will always use the magic crystal to watch you, and my magic power will always be by your side.
"Even if I'm not with you, you don't have to worry about anything. You don't need Mark."
The corners of his lips that were still smiling were completely stained with displeasure. "It's not that I don't believe you, I just want someone to accompany me.
"What's more, Mark Lowell is a person we can trust. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be willing to let him accompany us."
"No." Erin shook her head.
The young man's fists behind his back began to be clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands clearly showed the violence in his heart.
Seeing that he couldn't insist, the young man suddenly put on a dejected expression.
"Teacher, I won't be harsh. Let me tell you the truth. I am actually timid.
"This is the Sanctuary Square, and there are thousands of people under the altar staring at me.
"You also know that I have been ignored since I was a child and have lived in a corner.
"Now that you leave me alone, standing in front of so many people, I'm extremely scared."
"Teacher..." The young man's voice was a little coquettish,
"Just let Mark Lauer accompany me. I'm really scared. I beg you!"
Seeing the mist in the young man's golden eyes, Irene sighed secretly.
After all, he is a minor child, and it is indeed too much to let him face all this alone.
Now that he doesn't have his uncle Rodis to rely on, having Mark accompany him may be a bit of comfort.
That's all, just obey him.
"That……"
Before I could say the word 'Okay', the throbbing pain at the tip of my heart stabbed me again.
An inexplicable chill spread all the way up from the tailbone to the entire back.
Erin quickly changed her tone, "That won't work either!"
No?
Why not? !
Just now, I clearly saw the compromise in your eyes, but why can't I do it now?
"teacher……"
"It won't work if I say no." He said in a tone that would not allow him to refuse.
"Bastian, this is your coming-of-age ceremony. From now on, you are no longer a child.
"You have to understand that you have to walk your own path in life, and no one will always be there to rely on you!"
"Come here!" Without giving Bastian a chance to beg, Irene said sternly:
"Send the Crown Prince to the sacrificial altar."
Knights: "Yes!"
juvenile:"……!!"
-
After the guard knights took Bastian away, Mark couldn't help but stepped forward and said:
"Master Imperial Master, although I am no longer a guard, I am willing to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."
"........."
Irene didn't answer Mark's words immediately. She pursed her lips and looked at Bastian who was walking away.
After making sure that the boy's figure was far enough away, Irene withdrew her gaze.
"This is not a question of whether you are willing or not, but I think Bastian is... a little different today."
"What's different?" Mark wondered.
Erin thought for a moment, "I can't tell you exactly what's different.
"It's just that my sixth sense has always been very accurate, and I always feel weird inside."
sixth sense?
Although Mark was shocked, he didn't feel anything was wrong.
After all, no matter what the Master says or does, it is always right.
"Mark." Erin looked up at him and asked:
"You will attend the coming-of-age ceremony with your father as the young Earl of Loel later, right?"
"Yes." Mark nodded.
Eileen tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked: "If today... I want you to be my guard knight and protect me all the time, would you be willing?"
I don't know if he was too shocked, but Mark said without hesitation: "Do you still need my protection?"
