unedited
After the mercenary soldier informed his companions, he pulled out of the team, changed his direction and went to the back of the line. Xi Ning waited anxiously for him to come back at the window.
The mercenary group commander was leading the way at the front of the line at this time. He didn’t know what happened at the back. The mercenary soldier quickly found Lin An in the last carriage. This carriage had the door open, and all the ordinary slaves in the mercenary group sat in it.
The mercenary soldier pointed at Lin An and shouted, “The one with the mask, come ahead with me.”
Lin An was sitting at the outermost part. He raised his head to confirm that he did not know that mercenary soldier. He stood up and said calmly, “Who are you taking me to meet with?”
The mercenary soldier approached the carriage, grabbed Lin An with one hand, pulled him behind and let him sit down. After leaving the vicinity of the carriage, he said, “You are going to meet with His Highness of the Elf.”
Lin An’s expression was as usual under the mask. He remembered that the mercenary group commander told him last night that his face probably frightened the elf highness, and his purpose of wanting to transfer him was not very friendly.
But when Xi Ning saw his face yesterday, the expression on his face didn’t seem to be frightened or disgusted.
It’s also possible that he walked in a hurry and missaw it.
The two quickly approached Xi Ning’s carriage, Lin An saw Xi Ning sticking his head out of the window from a distance, the elf’s silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, he had an anxious look on his face, but when Xi Ning saw him, his expression immediately turned to joy.
Lin An retracted his gaze, lowered his head and waited for his orders.
The mercenary soldier approached the carriage and said to Xi Ning, “Your Highness, is this the person you are looking for?”
“Yes, thank you,” Xi Ning restrained his expression, trying his best not to look too strange, and said to Lin An who was behind the mercenary soldier, “Come to my carriage first.”
The mercenary soldier and the people around were very puzzled. They was not sure why Xi Ning wanted to meet with this slave, and even told him to go into his carriage, but no one dared to question it. The mercenary soldier grabbed Lin An and pushed him, and after putting him at the door of the carriage he returned to the line when the door of the carriage closed.
The servant at the door opened the carriage door, and closed it after Lin An entered.
The carriage where Xi Ning was in had the same size as that of His Majesty Ferro. Lin An wouldn’t bump his head when he stood up straight. It was almost like a small room with all the necessary furniture.
Xi Ning closed the window and clutched the hem of his clothes nervously. He raised his hand to clear his throat, “Have a seat first.”
There was a vacant chair next to him, but Lin An didn’t sit on it. He took a few steps forward and knelt respectfully in front of Xi Ning, “Greetings to Your Highness.”
Xi Ning was stunned for a moment, then got up and approached Lin An, reaching out to pull him up.
Lin An took a half step back to avoid Xi Ning’s hand, and still lowered his head, “What are your orders?”
The floor was clean. He didn’t want to get up, so Xi Ning simply sat on the ground, tilted his head and looked at Lin An, “Your name is Lin An?”
Lin An replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”
Xi Ning looked at the pure black mask on his face, “You…… did you always wear a mask?”
Last night, Lin An didn’t wear a mask, only a hood. He was a little surprised when he saw it just now. The mask covered Lin An’s face tightly. If not from his feeling that his illness had been relieved when he was near him, he wouldn’t even be able to confirm who he is.
Lin An lowered his head and said, “Your Highness, I have an ugly face, so it’s improper to show it to others.”
Xi Ning moved a little closer to him, seeing that Lin An was about to step back again, Xi Ning stopped him, “You…… don’t move first.”
These words were the same as an order, Lin An was not sure about Xi Ning’s attitude, so he didn’t step back, he lowered his eyes and saw Xi Ning raise his hands.
Xi Ning was wearing a pure white robe. The cuffs and hem were embroidered with gold thread. A few thin blood vessels were exposed under his white and almost transparent skin. The soft fingertips stretched out to his face, and he could still see a cut slender wrists and silver hair hanging in front of him.
Sure enough, elves are known for their beauty, even his hair and fingertips are so delicate and beautiful. When Lin An returned to his senses, he had already held Xi Ning’s wrist, preventing him from reaching out to him again, he could feel the cool and delicate skin in the palm of his hand.
Lin An frowned slightly under the mask, he was about to let go and apologize, but he saw that the elf in front of him did not look angry or unhappy, but opened his dark green eyes and said cautiously, “I just want to see your face again, nothing else.”
