While Alto was still immersed in the sorrow of daytime funerals, in the mid-air near the Black Forest of Melze in the suburbs, Lucien was saying goodbye to Natasha.

"Uncle Joel and others are troubled by you. I have a premonition that after the Dark Mountains sending me this time, my living conditions will change greatly in a short period of time, which may prompt my research on arcane and magic to go further. In this way, the church may pay more attention to me and expose my fake death. So if John and the others are unwilling to report me, please send someone to supervise and guide me, so that you can minimize your suspicion before the matter is exposed."

"Another reason why I won't let you kill the clown with one sword is this. If you colluded with me and knew about it, you would definitely kill someone to silence me regardless of the obstruction."

Lucien begged gently and said to Natasha without any haste.

Natasha, who was still wearing the simple black long dress during the day, tickled: "It feels so stressful to be friends with a magician like you. There seems to be more than one purpose behind doing something. Hello, Lucien, you won't have anything else to deceive me or have other purposes, right?"

It seems like a lot, Lucien smiled awkwardly: "Where there, there are."

Natasha had a cheerful personality and just made some jokes. Seeing that Lucien didn't want to say it or care, she nodded solemnly and said, "If John and the others refused to report you within half a year, I would put pressure secretly. Don't worry, I won't hurt them."

After promising this matter, Natasha was a little excited and concerned: "Lucion, there are many strange and powerful creatures in the Dark Mountains, and there are hundreds of known species, including various dragons, fallen elves, trolls, transformed spiders, scarlet demon trees, lightning eagles, etc. You must be careful to deal with it."

"And most ancient legacy magicians are cruel, indifferent, and ruthless. They are good at taboo experiments, manipulating people's hearts, having no sense of identity with life, with things other than themselves and some specific objects. They have no other thoughts except to make themselves strong and satisfy their various desires. When dealing with them, beware and alert. They are not the arcane masters you meet in the Magic Council."

"Although you are sending a letter to someone, and judging from normal logic, the Magic Council or elemental will must have arrangements and will not put you in a state of mortality, but when we do things, it is best not to place hopes and hopes on others from the beginning, and we can rely on ourselves only."

Lucien had just experienced a cruel farewell to Joel's family and was in a state of unstable mood. Therefore, he felt that Natasha's concern was very helpful and joked with a hint of joy: "Natasha, why did you not feel your caution when describing dangerous creatures and ancient legacy magicians, but instead felt a little regretful and excited?"

"Of course, don't you think it's interesting and exciting to take risks in such dark mountains? Fighting with all kinds of strange creatures and experiencing different extraordinary powers is a great pleasure." Natasha said with great enthusiasm, and then sighed with regret: "Actually, after knowing that you are going to the dark mountains, I want to be with you. This not only satisfy my longing, but also protects you. But I am the Earl of Violet and the Grand Duke of the Future. Every move I have to consider my subordinates, my knights, my nobles, and my father is the only relative of me, and I no longer have the qualifications to take risks in a willful way."

Although it was a pity, she did not complain at all. The education she received from childhood and her personality made her accept it very well.

When Lucien heard that Natasha was as carefree as usual and said bluntly that she had planned to protect herself, Lucien was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, Natasha, I believe that with my strength, as long as I don't walk around in the depths of the dark mountains, I can handle most of the dark creatures. When I come back, I will tell you the adventures I have experienced in person."

"Of course, you have a Holm Crown Ring on you." Natasha nodded with confidence, then smiled like a fox and took out a pair of violet petal earrings: "This is the constant earrings given to me by the elders, Fernando's electromagnetic communication technique. If you encounter danger, you can notify me. I know you have similar items on you. Hehe, the thunder and lightning field in Storm blocks your connection with the Magical Council, but in Alto, you still have reinforcements."

As a knight, she is more male-looking. Except for the need to dress up for the annual New Year banquet, she has never worn jewelry and other items. So until today, Lucien knew that she had such a magic item on her body, and guessed in her heart that it was given by His Excellency Hathaway.

"If I encounter danger, I will not refuse to ask for help from you in a pretentious way." Lucien nodded seriously, and suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart and blurted out: "It's a pity that the lightning field and the long distance in the Storm Strait make electromagnetic communication unstable and easy to be destroyed, otherwise we will be able to contact us often."

"Yes, it's such a pity." Thinking of this, Natasha was full of regret.

A thought suddenly emerged in Lucien's mind: "Does it be time to accelerate the research on arcane? I will send a few magic satellites to the sky as the intermediate station for communications to bypass the Storm Strait, so that I can talk to Natasha often."

"But if other magicians know that the birth of magic satellites and telecommunication magic is because a magician wants to contact a girl from afar, would it be embarrassing? And whether this world is a planet and whether it has an orbit has not been determined, and we still have to continue to study..."

"Lucion, what are you thinking?" Natasha saw that Lucien was silent and thought he was regretting the electromagnetic transmission, so she comforted him: "It doesn't matter, we can write letters frequently in the name of my uncle. Sometimes, writing letters feels better than talking directly."

Lucien, who was interrupted by Natasha, came back to his senses and thought in surprise: "Wait, why do I think so much? Could it be... No, no, she likes women, we are good friends."

Lucien, who felt a little strange in his heart, quickly denied his inexplicable thoughts and nodded slightly, "It would be great to be able to keep writing letters and communicate, but we need to make a new agreement on the marks of different meanings so that the church will not notice them."

After the two made an appointment again, Natasha smiled brightly and said with a cheerful and bright smile: "Lucion, I don't know how long it will take for you to return to the Dark Mountains. According to normal calculations, you may miss your birthday. Since we met, I have not been there on every birthday of yours. It's a pity, so please allow me to invite you to dance an opening dance here, which is to wish you a happy birthday in advance."

She bowed slightly, stroked her right hand with her chest and stretched out her left hand, standard men's etiquette.

Lucien said funny and angry: "Your Highness, my man should be invited by you."

After a pause, Lucien smiled gently, "Since we met, I have not been there on every birthday of Natasha, so please allow me to invite you to dance this opening dance."

After saying that, Lucien bowed, stroked his right hand with his chest and stretched out his left hand in the same position as Natasha.

Natasha smiled and raised her eyebrows, then stood up straight, stretched out her right hand and placed it on Lucien's left hand.

There is no music, no melody, only the strong wind in the air and the clouds around it, but Lucien and Natasha are both good at music, and the dance steps are full of rhythmic beauty.

Although Lucien, who has grown taller in recent years, is still a little shorter than Natasha, it is almost the same. So when dancing, the two of them look at each other and breathe together.

Seeing Natasha's deep and crystal clear silver-purple eyes and grand and beautiful appearance, feeling her warm and sweet breath and soft and orderly body, Lucien, who had strange thoughts before, suddenly became strongly uncomfortable. It was completely different from the calmness and laughter of Natasha when she danced with Natasha, and her heartbeat seemed to be a little uncontrollably accelerated.

Seeing Lucien staring at her eyes and dodging herself, her face seemed to flush and her steps were slightly stiff. The strength of the hands holding her right hand and holding her shoulder seemed to have increased a little. At the same time, she was very abnormally silent and silent. The breathing sprayed between her lips and nose seemed heavy and hot, Natasha began to feel that this atmosphere was too weird and inexplicable, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Lucion, what's wrong with you?" Natasha asked in confusion. There was no need to hide it between her friends. "Are you worried about the Dark Mountains?"

Lucien shook his head a little embarrassedly: "No, it's just the first time dancing in the air, I'm a little uncomfortable."

"Oh, so do I. The wind is very strong, the surroundings are empty, there are only clouds." Natasha laughed.

Lucien, who tried hard to control himself, but was still a little uncomfortable, and Natasha, who tried hard to help Lucien adapt, ended the dance smoothly.

"Happy birthday, Lucien."

"Happy birthday, Natasha."

At the end of the dance, the two of them said tacitly, then looked at each other and laughed.

…………

Lucien, who said goodbye to Natasha, frowned and flew towards the dark mountains. After a while, he said to himself: "Don't have illusions because of the accumulated lust because of not having contact with women for a long time. How could I have strange ideas about my good friends? And she likes women..."

…………

Natasha, who flew back to Alto with Camille, thought for a while, took out the pair of violet petal earrings and put them on her ears, and shook her head a little unccustomedly.

After finishing the shaking, Natasha noticed that Camill was looking at her ears seriously and said in confusion: "Auntie Camille, what's wrong? If you don't wear it on your ears, I might not be able to sense it as soon as Lucien was in danger of asking for help."

"It's nothing, your ears are beautiful, and it's even more beautiful when you wear earrings." Camille replied lightly. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
