    Chapter 36 Goodbye Beauty

    I looked at the Trojan for a short while.Don’t know how to react.In fact, I kind of like it in my heart. The circle I was in in my previous life was somewhat related to art, and I also developed some aesthetic abilities under the influence.On the one hand, I greatly admire this kind of crafts with simple lines and even rough lines, and feel that they have a natural and brutal beauty.On the other hand, I have never received such a “mean” gift in my two lives.Compared with the luxury cars and watches I received in my previous life, and the jewelry His Majesty the Father gave me in this life, this hand-carved wooden horse was dusty and quite shabby.

    I stared for a while, then pouted: “Where’s the rabbit? I want the rabbit.”

    Luke was slightly startled.

    “Sorry, I’m not good at carving rabbits yet.” He said with apology in his voice, “I see horses the most, but rabbits are rarely seen… Don’t you want a horse, little princess?”

    “Rabbits are cute. I want a rabbit.”

    Like a real child who doesn’t know what’s good or bad, I turned my head willfully and said.I don’t know why, I just want to make things difficult for him. Seeing him in trouble makes me feel a little proud.

    “Really? I’m really sorry.” He’s spring-like green eyes dimmed, and he lowered his hand to withdraw the horse.And I frowned, rushed forward, and hugged his wrist.

    “It’s mine!” I shouted, quickly snatching the wooden horse away from him.

    “Little princess…?” He was slightly surprised.

    “Didn’t you say you wanted to give it to me?” I pouted and held the wooden horse in my hand.Well, it feels very good, it is polished smooth and has the softness of wood, which shows that he has put a lot of effort into it.I lowered my head, and the more I played with it, the more I fell in love with it. Little did I know that Luke was watching me, his eyes changing from surprise to joy, and finally returned to an intoxicating tenderness.

    “Do you like it, little princess?” he asked.

    “I don’t like it.” I just didn’t want to satisfy he, so even though I couldn’t put it down, I kept saying, “It’s black, so ugly, not as cute as a rabbit!”

    Luke smiled softly.

    “It’s my fault. Next time…” He paused for a moment, then changed his words: “No, if I come back, I will make a rabbit for you again.”

    When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat.

    I listened to the conversation between Uther and Goya.Luke is also going to fight this time.

    I couldn’t help but raise my head and look at him.He’s face is breathtakingly handsome, his green eyes are warm and full of smiles.No matter how he looked, he didn’t look like a warrior going to fight on a bloody battlefield.If I remember correctly, he is not yet 18 years old this year. In the world I used to live in, this age would have been considered more of a child. But in front of me, this unparalleled beauty has not yet reached the limit of adulthood and has not yet entered the most gorgeous stage of life. She has already been on the battlefield several times, talking about her own life and death so indifferently.

    And I actually cursed him to lose his appearance… In a cruel cold weapon war, he might die, and even if he died, his body would not be intact.

    The guilt came back fiercely, I bit my lip, and my little hand holding the wooden horse tightened unconsciously.After a while, I muttered: “You… want to leave?”

    “Yeah.” He replied: “I’m going on a trip and I won’t be back for a long, long time.”

    “You are lying! I heard my father say that you are going to fight, not travel!”

    he was stunned and smiled helplessly.

    “Well, we are going to fight. The little princess is very smart, I shouldn’t lie.”

    We were all silent.I rubbed my fingers on the wooden horse he gave me, and wanted to say something to give him some comfort or blessings, but I didn’t know what to say.He may not need these. For them, maybe going to the battlefield is normal, as is dying in the war.But when I raised my eyes, I saw the sunlight falling lightly on his face, dyeing his well-proportioned skin a layer of light gold, and using shadows to more clearly depict his outline, making his eyes look even deeper and more charming – obviously a warm and handsome face that melts people’s hearts, why does it seem to be hiding a hint of sadness?

    Could it be that I am too emotional and sensitive?

    My heart ached, and I couldn’t leave him alone no matter what.After hesitating for a while, I looked confused and asked him: “Why did you do it for me only when you came back? Can’t you be a rabbit during a war?”

    he didn’t expect me to say such a thing, and was immediately stunned by the question.When he was stunned, the vague sadness immediately disappeared without a trace.

    “In war, you have to go to a very far place,” he tried to explain to me in a way that children could understand, but he didn’t know how to say it: “I made a rabbit, but I can’t give it to the little princess…”

    “Can you ask a courier to deliver it to me?” I pretended to be childish to the end, as if I was determined to do it.

    he was blocked by my words again.I was so stunned that I didn’t know what to say.I suddenly seemed to understand. I squinted my eyes and said, “You can’t be a rabbit, right? That’s why you want to run away to fight, right?”

    he couldn’t laugh or cry: “Little princess, fighting is not…”

    “I don’t care!” I interrupted him, put my feet up with some difficulty, and stood on the stool, which was higher than the sitting he.I grabbed him by the shoulders, looked arrogant, and ordered him in a childish voice: “Even if you go to war, you have to be a rabbit for me. Even if you can’t do it, I will do it! If you make one, you can send one back to me, do you know?”

    He stared at me in a daze, holding onto him fiercely. After a moment, his eyes melted and the corners of his lips raised.

    “What does the little princess want with so many rabbits?” he asked softly, with a faint hint of joy in his voice.

    “Although you are stupid, if you make so many rabbits, there will always be one that I like!” I declared condescendingly, “Every time the messenger comes, I will ask for the rabbit. If there is no rabbit, then I… I… I will…”

    I started stumbling, not knowing what to threaten him with.At this time, he’s hand gently wrapped around my waist and held me in his arms.This was not a hug, it was just a virtual hug like an adult afraid of a child falling. There was obviously a distance between us, but I felt like I was being pulled into the realm of he – like a beautiful spring day, making people lose their mind.The smell of he came to my face, the smell of sunshine… I knew that sunshine has no smell, but this idea jumped out of my mind. The occasional sentence was so appropriate.

    “Since the little princess wants it, I will make it for you.” He smiled and cut off the threat I was thinking about: “I will make it for you as much as you want.”

    My inexplicable worries about he were somewhat relieved.I was a little embarrassed to be protected by he in such an ambiguous way, and when I spoke again, I was a little harsh on the outside and cold on the inside: “Every time the messenger comes back, he must bring it back to me! Don’t forget it!”

    “Well, it won’t go wrong once.” He promised, looking at my face with a smile, until he saw that my face turned red, and he unnaturally broke away from his hand: “I, I want to go back…”

    He didn’t let go, but stood up.Even though I was standing on a stool, he was still much taller than me.I was enveloped in his shadow, and before I could react, he lowered his head and kissed me gently on my forehead.

    He’s lips are so soft, touching my skin is like a drop of dew falling into the lake, sparkling with water ripples, and my heart is like a water lily in the lake, stirred by the ripples, swaying under the melting spring light.I was stunned and looked up at him stupidly.However, my eyes seemed to be dazzled by the sun, and I could not clearly see his shady face. I could only see his lips raised in the most beautiful arc.

    “Thank you, my little princess.”
