"Long time no see." Claire also looked at Irene and smiled.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other and smiling, the young man standing aside knew that he was obviously in the way, so he turned around and left consciously.
Irene couldn't help but took a few steps forward, with a happy smile on his face and said, "Brother Claire."
"Yeah." Claire also stepped forward, stretched out his hand and touched Irene's little head. "Why do you have time to come here?"
"Hmph." Irene suddenly hugged his hands and turned his head away, but his eyes never left Claire's face, with a look of arrogance.
"If you don't come to me, why don't I come to you?"
Claire smiled bitterly. As expected, all girls looked like this, but Irene was quite easy to coax. After saying a few words to make her happy, Irene quickly returned to her previous smiling face.
"How did you know I was here?" Irene asked in confusion.
"Maybe this is called telepathy." Claire said nonchalantly. In fact, in order to prevent some malicious people from destroying it, he set up space confinement in the entire Griffin Territory. No space fluctuation in Griffin Territory could escape his surveillance. And Irene came here using Spatial Teleportation, so as soon as Irene came over, Claire knew about her arrival.
"Nonsense." Irene hammered Claire's chest with his fist, but he still showed happiness on his face.
"Take me for a walk."
"Okay, my Your Highness."
Claire gave an exaggerated salute, but was beaten violently by Irene again.
Then Claire took Irene to wander around Nafu City. Although there was not much change here compared to before, Irene was full of novelty in his eyes and took the initiative to drag Claire around.
"I'm so tired. Let's sit down and rest for a while." Irene took the initiative.
"It turns out that girls feel tired when they go shopping." Claire joked.
"Huh? Have you ever gone shopping with other girls before?"
Claire: "..."
Fortunately, Irene didn't dwell too much on this issue, and laughed heartily when he saw Claire was speechless.
"Where do you want to play next?"
"Emmm..." Irene bit his finger cutely and thought deeply.
"Go to Mermaid Port. I heard others say that the port city you built is very prosperous now."
"It's not a new one. It's been established for a few years. But it's really prosperous now. If you go there, I can buy you some fashionable jewelry."
"Jewelry is fine, too. But I mainly wanted to see the mermaid!" When Irene mentioned this, his eyes showed excitement again.
"Hey, hey, hey." Irene hugged Claire's hand and shook it, "Do you think you can see the mermaid this time?"
Claire was stunned for a moment, but still smiled and said, "Of course." It was just asking Eve to work overtime, and just give her a little more overtime pay.
"Then let's go!" Irene waved his hands excitedly.
But some preparations were needed, and Claire called on the newly developed magic ship by Isaac.
Isaac never gave up the opportunity of his own airship. Later, when Mage Tower established it and the research conditions became better, he also built his ideal magic ship.
The material of the hull is a magic material developed by Isaac. It is very light, almost the same weight as a foam board, but its defensive capabilities exceed that of ordinary metal blocks.
The entire magic boat is made of this material. After carving the magic inscriptions and enchantments, Isaac finally completed the boat of his dreams. It is usually very precious and would not be touched by others, but now it still has to be taken out and used by Claire.
In the sky above Mermaid Port, a huge spaceship has been floating for a long time.
At dusk, Eve also jumped up from the sea. People who saw this scene on the coast threw their coins out one after another.
Irene After seeing this, he asked, "What are they doing?"
"Throwing coins to pray for blessings has evolved into a customary ritual. It is said that it can make your wishes come true."
"Do you have any coins? Give me some. I want to pray for you too."
"No, here you go." Claire took out a dozen Gold Coins and handed them over.
After Irene took Gold Coins, he took a few steps back and threw a charged Gold Coins out. After seeing Gold Coins enter the sea, he quickly held his hands and prayed.
Claire After watching like this for a while, Irene opened his eyes and asked, "What are you praying for?"
"A little bit, I won't tell you."
Claire smiled and did not continue to ask further questions. Otherwise, if Irene said that he made a wish to marry himself, how should he continue with his words?
Then Claire also walked to the railing of the spacecraft, leaned against it with his back, looked at Irene and asked, "Is there anything bothering you recently?"
"No? I am King, who dares to upset me!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"But I can see that you are not that happy." Claire stretched out his hand and stroked Irene's hair that was blown away by the wind, and continued, "If you have anything, just tell me. There is no need to hide it."
After listening to Claire's words, Irene no longer had the excitement and joy on his face. Instead, he frowned and sighed.
"Actually, it's not a big deal..."
Irene suddenly froze when he saw Claire's stretched out hand, and couldn't help but hold on to the words in his mouth.
Then Irene felt Claire's hands press on his cheeks, and two thumbs lightly scratched between his eyebrows.
"How old are you? You already have a sad face." Claire repeated the action just now, "You have to laugh more often."
Irene blushed and took half a step back, his words became a little unclear, "Don't be like this, I can't explain clearly when you're like this."
"Haha, tell me then." Claire took back his hand.
"Well, it's just that the nobles below have been a little restless recently..." Irene told Claire all the troubles he had encountered these days. After speaking out, Irene also felt that the stone that had been weighing on his heart fell. Looking at Claire, he felt very at ease and felt that he could always protect him well.
"So you should be careful these days. Some nobles may come to deal with you. They will make trouble for you and use this as an excuse to blackmail me."
"Don't worry, they can't deal with me yet." Claire said without any concern, "On your side, the pressure has increased a lot since becoming King."
"I wish I could be like you." Irene said in a nonchalant manner.
"What kind?"
"Look at the residents in your territory who live so happily. I can't even do one-tenth of yours."
"Take your time, you can do it too."
"Can I do that too?"
"Of course, and I will always stand behind you to help you."
