Life is like a stage. Sometimes you have to stand on it and act in a play. Buggy never thinks that his acting skills are very good. He may only be considered passable or not yet qualified. However, under certain circumstances and circumstances in a specific environment, human potential can always be stimulated, including acting.
In the conversation just now with Frans, Buggy felt like an old actor with many years of acting experience. The emotions of struggle, nostalgia, hesitation and surrender in his actions and expressions progressed layer by layer, and finally burst out.
"I know... I will marry your daughter, just tomorrow!"
"Double happiness is a grand event for the country. Tomorrow, I will open the national treasures, add a dowry, and the whole country will celebrate together!"
"Sir please."
The maid who was leading the way stopped, slowly turned around and faced Buggy, and lowered her head respectfully.
Buggy His thoughts were interrupted, and he suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes fell on the sunlight shining on the black and white floor.
Well, it's a bit glaring.
He turned around and walked towards the terrace outside the castle.
This open-air platform is located on the third floor of the castle, extending out in an arc shape. There are two figures standing on the platform, Qixilu and Helian.
Buggy sighed secretly in his heart, walked forward, leaned his hands on the marble guardrail, looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, looked down at an unknown statue in front of the castle and the ants outside the defense circle. The crowd of people is somewhat different from the situation when we were looking at Weilan on the hillside. Only by standing in the center of Weilan can we feel the prosperity of this city more truly and intuitively.
"Ba... ba..." Qixilu stood next to Buggy, lowering her head shyly. When Buggy came closer, her chest was beating like a deer bumping into each other. The indescribable excitement made her head feel dizzy with happiness. She mumbled the words in her mouth again and again, but still shyly did not call out her name.
"The scenery here..."
Buggy only said the word "this". Qixilu suddenly shouted excitedly and interrupted Buggy's words, "Mr. Buggy, are you calling me!!"
"..."
Buggy wanted to pretend to be lyrical and express his love properly, but the other person was so close to him and his voice was as loud as a firecracker. His eardrums were so painful that he suddenly lost the intention to talk and said in a cold tone, "Don't be noisy... I don't like you talking so loudly."
Helian was standing in the corner two meters away from the two of them. When he heard Buggy's tone, he suddenly walked up to Buggy and said angrily, "You guy, you are so rude to the princess!!"
As soon as Helian finished speaking, he was pushed away by Qixilu who was guarding him behind him. Qixilu covered his mouth, tears of joy flashed in his eyes, and murmured in a low voice, "I have never seen such a domineering man. He is so charming. I am so happy to meet my prince charming in my lifetime..."
Helian stared at Qixilu, then at Buggy, and finally turned his head unwillingly and covered his heart with his right hand. He felt that his heart was crying.
Buggy glanced at the guard who was rude to his "consort": "Can you let this annoying fly leave here? Our date shouldn't be interrupted by a third person, right?"
"A date..." Qixilu didn't take a breath, his feet went weak and he almost fell. He quickly held on to the marble guardrail with his right hand and took a breath before saying, "Helian, go inside and wait."
Helian said quickly, "Princess... the king said..."
Qixilu abruptly interrupted Helian and cursed, "Don't you even listen to me? Even if my father is here, he will follow my wishes, let alone you..."
As she said that, she realized that she had lost her composure in front of her sweetheart, and she quickly changed her tone to a little woman's pleading tone, "Helian, please go out first, Mr. Ba...Buggy and I have very important things to discuss."
"Yes..." Helian had never heard Qixilu speak in this way, but in front of him, he was willing to change for a man who could be said to be a stranger. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of decadence and frustration in his heart, and turned around and retreated from the terrace.
Qixilu saw Helian leaving and there were only two people left on the terrace. His palms became sweaty. He glanced at Buggy secretly and asked in a low voice, "Can we... start dating?"
"I don't know your name yet, Your Highness?"
Buggy Looking at Qixilu's bucket-like figure and thick arms, I really can't come up with any ideas. After all, humans are animals that depend on first impressions. This is why beautiful women or handsome men often have an advantage over other people in communication.
Qixilu replied nervously, "My... name is Xilo. Qixilu."
Buggy said calmly, "We are getting married tomorrow, right?"
"Tomorrow... get married..." Qixilu murmured repeatedly, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes!"
"Tell me what else will happen tomorrow, Qixilu?"
Buggy has been very concerned about what King Silo meant by the "double happiness" from the moment just now. Now that the guy named Helian is no longer watching, and the two of them are alone, he naturally wants to get important information from this woman who looks not only fat but also not very smart.
"Tomorrow, my father will marry a very beautiful woman... Only after getting married can the contract be concluded, which is also a necessary step to resurrect my mother." Qixilu is not thoughtful, and if his sweetheart asks, he will naturally say whatever he wants.
"Resurrection...?" Buggy frowned slightly. He felt that the other party didn't seem to be lying, so he asked again, "How long has it been since your mother passed away?"
"It has been seven years since he passed away." When he mentioned his mother, Qixilu's expression suddenly became a little sad.
Can a person who died seven years ago be resurrected now?
Buggy ponders, in the world of Pirate King, there is indeed someone who has been brought back to life. It is Revive-Revive Fruit, the owner of the ability Brook, but he can only give himself a second life... Can he really have this power to bring others back to life?
Buggy was filled with doubts and asked, "What kind of contract... can bring your mother back to life?"
"My father didn't let me ask any more questions. I only know that the soul of a living person is exchanged for the soul of a dead person. The woman who will marry my father will be the medium of the contract..."
Qixilu glanced at Buggy secretly, and then said, "The content of the contract also includes those things in Royal Treasury."
