In the room, Ariel put the box in her hand next to her bed, then turned around and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, miss, the place I live in is not a palace, and it's not that magnificent. If you don't mind, I'll put it first."

Just make do, I'll arrange a place for you tomorrow!"

Amidst Ariel's laughter, Alice had already pulled Meliti into the room.

The room is indeed not a very good room.

The walls made of clay, stone, and trees are not even decorated at all. They are just painted with a layer of mud to cover the gaps in the bricks on the surface.

In the surrounding corners, except for a table placed on the edge of the bed, with a mirror and some combs and other basic grooming tools placed on the table, there is no atmosphere of a women's room here anymore.

Rather than being unfeminine, the desk placed in the other corner of the house highlights another feature of this room.

The table is covered with various documents, and behind the table hangs a map of the Blue Bay Empire and some surrounding areas, with many incomprehensible marks marked in various colors.

There wasn't even a floor on the ground, it was just a layer of mud. And looking at Ariel who was standing in front of him and smiling at him, her socks were completely dirty.

To be honest, Alice was a little disappointed with this room.

She inadvertently raised her hand and covered her nose slightly. But soon she seemed to realize the rudeness of her action, so she finally put her hand down and smiled at Ariel.

"Come, sit! Sit down! I have some snacks here. I usually eat them when I get hungry when I read the files at night. Do you want to try them? I made these snacks myself and they should taste good.

Bar?"

While talking, Ariel took out a woven rattan box from the nearby closet, placed it on the table, and guided Alice to sit down on the stool.

Alice smelled it, with a slight smile on her face, and said: "If nothing else, this smell alone has convinced me that your strength has definitely not deteriorated."

With that said, the queen took out a small piece of shortbread from the bamboo basket and handed it to Meliti, who was standing on tiptoes to look at it, and said, "Come on, try it. This is made by your Aunt Ariel."

Ariel put her hands on her hips and said with a slight smile: "How many times have I told you, it's my sister~~~! Come on, little Meili, try your sister's cooking. This must be your first time eating her cooking.

Things, right? Come on, sister, there are a lot of them here~~~"

Although little Meiliti still looked a little nervous, the child was indeed a little hungry after the bumpy journey. After smelling the fragrance of this small shortbread, she finally swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth.

mouth, and took a bite gently.

After chewing for a few times, the child's eyes suddenly lit up! In an instant, he stretched out his hand towards the shortbread in Alice's hand and said "Mom, Mom".

After Alice placed the shortbread in her hand, the little girl finally started eating it happily, even very enthusiastically.

After finishing the shortbread, the little girl immediately raised her eyes and stared straight at the rattan basket on the table.

Seeing that little Meili Ti liked it, Ariel immediately picked up the box from the table as if on stimulants, squatted in front of the little girl, and handed it to her.

"Come on, try it! If you don't like it, tell your sister, she will make more delicious food! I guarantee that you will eat the same thing every day, 360 days a year.

Son~~~!”

With the delicious food, little Meliti's vigilance and fear finally decreased a lot. She opened her eyes, picked up another cake from the rattan basket and put it into her mouth. Gradually, she ate very much.

happy.

It was just when she was so happy that Alice patted her little head again and said: "Your Aunt Ariel gave you so many delicious food, why don't you thank Auntie? Come on,

Thank you, auntie."

At this time, little Meili Ti finally raised her head, staring at Ariel with a pair of big watery eyes, and an innocent and bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Thank you, Auntie Ariel~~~"

Ariel said with a straight face: "Call Ariel sister!"

"Woooo...Mom..."

"Oh, okay, just call. Come on, call sister Ariel."

"Uh-huh, sister Ariel."

"Hey! Good boy, there are a lot of delicious and fun things here. If you want anything, just tell me! Hehe."

After coaxing the child, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and stood beside him.

Seeing Ariel standing like this all the time, Alice seemed to realize something, and then said: "Ariel, how about you... bring a stool over and sit for a while. In our current status... I will sit

Well, you're still standing, it seems a little inappropriate."

Ariel was slightly stunned by this, then showed a wry smile, shook her head, and said, "Forget it. It's easier for me to stand in front of the lady."

Alice seemed a little nervous and her speech was slightly unclear: "But... you said before..."

Ariel's shoulders drooped slightly, but then they lifted up again. She turned around, went to the table to pour two glasses of water, handed them to Alice, and said, "I did think so before. But now, I

I don’t treat you as a lady, nor do I treat myself as a slave. Miss, you said before that you treat me as a biological sister and a good best friend, and I hope so too. So now I have decided to deal with it this way because

My own willingness is not because of your compulsion. There is a difference between voluntary and forced."

Seeing Ariel being so stubborn now, Alice couldn't say anything and could only nod.

She reached out her hand, gently stroked the hair of her daughter who was enjoying the meal, and said: "Since that incident, I haven't seen this child relaxed like this for a long time... Ariel, no matter what our identities are,

No matter what the forces behind us are...but I really want to say that I have always regarded you as my biological sister. This will never change even now...or even in the future.

Bar."

Hearing what Alice said, Ariel's eye circles were slightly red.

She poured herself a glass of water, and after taking two sips, she finally shook her head, put down the glass, and said with a bit of complaint: "Miss, you can choose..."

Alice shook her head slightly, and before Ariel could finish her words, she responded: "No, I have no choice. I am the queen of the Blue Bay Empire, and no matter what happens, I am the noble queen.

.And my child is destined to bear the blue bloodline and fight for the rest of his life to revive the royal family."

Ariel was speechless. After a moment, as if to get rid of the embarrassing atmosphere, she waved her hands and said with a smile——

"Oh, miss, let's not think about those things. In fact, I have been worried about one thing for so many years."

Alice was stunned: "What's the matter?"

Ariel smiled and came behind Alice, stretched out her hand and gently pulled off her hairpin. In an instant, the queen's long hair fell down like a golden waterfall. Ariel reached out to hold it, and it was not without a trace.

Said enviously——

"Let's start from the past. In fact, I am quite proud that I have blond hair like the lady. Therefore, I specially grow my hair longer in order to imitate the lady. Although this is not convenient at all, many things will appear

It’s very troublesome, but the lady’s hair is very beautiful, and I want that too.”

"But, it seems that my hair is not naturally as smooth and vertical as Miss's. It always has a little curl. It's strange to say that I have been taking care of Miss's hair since she was a child.

I once learned to take care of my hair like Miss, but my hair has always been a little curly and not smooth. Miss, do you have any secrets? It has been so many years, can you tell me?

"

Hearing what Ariel said, Alice couldn't help laughing. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I think your slightly curly blond hair is also very beautiful? And now look at it.

When you wake up, you still seem to be around twenty years old. But I already look so old."

As she said that, Alice couldn't help but look at her hands, and some calluses appeared on her fingers.

Ariel quickly held on to the armrests of the seat and said with a smile: "How could it be? In my eyes, Miss is still the most beautiful woman in the Blue Bay Empire, an unparalleled beauty in the world! Alas, in the end,

Who took care of our young lady’s hair so badly? Don’t worry, young lady, since you have come to my place, I will definitely dress your hair up again! So that you will not have such strange thoughts again!

"

With that said, Ariel started to take care of Alice's hair very quickly. It didn't take long for her to put her hair back into a bun. Although the time was short and she didn't go through much grooming, it was much more.

Even if it's less, it still looks a little more refreshing and energetic.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Alice seemed a little silent. She turned her head and looked at the smiling Ariel. Looking at her good sister, she felt a little sad for a moment, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Ariel immediately panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort you: "Miss, what's wrong with you? My hand was so strong just now that I pulled your hair?"

Alice shook her head quickly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled again, and said: "It's nothing... I just feel so nostalgic... I miss the old days so much, the carefree days where I didn't need to think about it.

How many terrible and strange things, everything can live a very simple life. Ariel, you said, if the kind of life before can go on forever, if each of us can live so simple, what would it be like?

OK?"

Looking at Alice's haggard face now, it was impossible for Ariel to say that she was not tempted.

Even at this moment, she would feel like hugging her good sister directly, and then agree to everything she wanted to ask...

It's a pity that no matter how much you think in your heart, it can only be imagined after all.

"Miss……"

After a slight pause, Ariel pursed her lips, stretched out her hand to hold Alice's slightly calloused hands, and said softly——

"Are you having a... bad life now? Did that bastard Tide bully you?"

Alice, in turn, held Ariel's hand. She shook her head gently and said: "No... He is quite busy now and often can't see his person for several days. Although I am a little lonely...

But Meliti is still with me, and he can’t say he has anything wrong with me. After all, he does have a lot of things to do now. Come on, sit down too, don’t stand all the time, it’s a little bit like this

Isn’t it too raw?”

Ariel smiled, walked around behind Alice, tapped her shoulder lightly, and continued: "The current situation is indeed sad. But this kind of thing always needs to be faced... I think, if we

If a reconciliation can be reached between them, maybe things will be simpler."

Alice sighed, with a lonely smile on her lips, and said, "Now, are you still willing to cooperate with us?"

Ariel bent down, put her head on Alice's shoulder, looked at Alice and herself in the mirror, and said with a smile: "If I didn't want to, how could I still be so happy when I saw the lady?
To be continued...
