Chapter 31

The obtained snow leopard fur wrapped Henry tightly.

"No need! I'm really fine! Really fine! Eric, you don't need to take me! How can you hunt like this!?" Henry was hugged awkwardly by Eric, annoyed at his uselessness.

"I want to see you all the time." Eric hugged Henry tightly and pushed open the door: "Will you watch me while I'm hunting later?"

Henry didn't speak anymore, his nose was a little sore, he had to lean on Eric's arms obediently, Eric picked up his usual ax, carried Henry into the forest.

Henry sat in front of Eric, wrapped in that very warm fur, and watched Eric light up the fire, then carefully blew the meat just right and then handed it to himself. Henry reached out to take it, and suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Is there anyone?" Said you were a good man?"

Eric was taken aback by this question, and tilted his head: "No."

"Then are you so nice to everyone?" Henry took a bite of the meat that was charred on the inside and tender on the outside, and it tasted great.

"How is it possible..." Eric came over and wrapped Henry in his arms from behind: "I just want to be nice to you..."

"Well, from now on, you must only be nice to me alone, and be gentle to me alone." Henry raised his head and stared at Eric: "You belong to me alone."

"...What about you...?" Eric suddenly felt a little sour in his heart: "Are you mine alone?"

Henry turned his head, looked at the shining stars in the sky, and murmured: "...If possible, I would also like...Eric, I..." Henry paused, and held Eric's hand tightly: "Anyway …Hal's only lover is Eric."

"Then are you Hal or Henry?" Eric held Henry's hand behind his back, staring into those green eyes.

Henry closed his eyes and did not speak after all.

Eric endured the sourness in his heart, and calmed his voice: "I know...I don't blame you...I know you have your own difficulties, I won't force you..."

"Don't hate me...Eric...I...I...I have to marry her..." Henry said with difficulty: "But I will never touch a hair of her! I swear! I..."

Eric covered Henry's mouth without waiting for Henry to finish speaking: "Needless to say, I believe in you, even if you..." Eric smiled bitterly: "That's nothing..."

"No, I won't! I won't! I..." Henry blushed, "You know my body best..."

"Mine too..." After Eric finished speaking, he slowly pushed Henry down on the grass.

Tony looked at the pile of official documents in front of him, which were as high as a hill, and slammed the pen in his hand, shouting: "I will never look down on that brat again! The king is really not a man's job!"

Clinton nodded next to him with a straw in his mouth: "This is the number 20 you yelled this sentence three times today, come on, see if you can break through yesterday's 54 times."

"I said Fat Jiu, don't gloat over there! Give me an idea! If that brat doesn't come back, I'm going to die in this pile of documents!" Tony looked at the pile of official documents with a headache. I was so angry that I wished I could set it on fire.

Steve also looked up from the paperwork: "If you have this spare time, you might as well approve more."

"What kind of approval! I've been approving it for almost a week! You said that kid won't be eaten dirty!?" Tony walked up to Steve with his hands behind his back: "I mean it's delicious...I I always feel dirty and can't help but take him apart to drink blood and eat meat..."

"Don't be so bloody, he's a normal human being anyway." Natasha was also pulled over to help review the official documents, and when she heard Tony's words, she stood up and stretched: "They'll come back when they've had enough bed sheets."

"I wonder if they'll have enough time? Seven years of abstinence! Seven years──!~! If it were me...!" Tony was about to make his own rhetoric when he saw Steve staring at him. After looking into his eyes, he immediately changed into a serious face: "I will abstain from sex for 70 years for my Honey~!"

"You stopped lifting in 70 years." Clinton chuckled.

"He's been lying in the coffin for 70 years." Natasha gave a fatal injection unexpectedly.

"Are you guys my friends?" Tony looked at the couple with black lines all over his face.

While Tony was gnashing his teeth here, the two in the dark forest were glued to each other sweetly. They didn't want to leave each other for a moment. Except for eating and sleeping, they almost didn't waste a second. They greedily looked at each other's faces and stroked the opponent's body.

"This should work." Eric dabbed the viscous liquid with a faint white glow on Henry's arms and the scars on his back.

Henry lay on the bed obediently, exposing his back, and asked Eric to apply the medicine: "What is this...doesn't matter, men don't have a few scars..."

"If there is a scar, it must be left by me!" Eric said viciously: "This is the sap of the immortal tree. I got it with great difficulty. There has always been a particularly difficult old bat on that tree. , I spent a lot of effort before to attract its attention."

"Then don't waste... such a precious medicine."

"I said don't waste it, don't waste it. Shut up, if you didn't hurt yourself, would there be so many scars on this arm!?" Eric's head burst into blue veins when he said this, and his heart ached terribly.

Henry had no choice but to let Eric wipe things on his back.

Eric carefully wrapped Henry's back with gauze, and then kissed Henry's shoulder: "You don't know how I felt when I saw you lying on the bed covered in blood..."

"...I thought I was dreaming." Henry buried his head in the pillow sullenly.

"Sometimes I really want to just lock you in the dark forest like that, and never let you out again...let you stay with me forever." Eric kissed the back of Henry's ear, and rubbed his lips against Henry's earlobe.

Henry turned his head, leaned forward and kissed Eric's lips, he didn't know how to answer, he didn't know whether he should answer as Hal or as Henry...

"You should go back..." Eric hugged Henry tightly, but said something completely contrary to his own intention: "You have been out for almost a week... I guess they are going crazy looking for you..."

Henry didn't speak, but just tore off Eric's collar, and touched inside Eric's collar.

"I'm serious... Hal..." Eric grabbed Henry's hand: "If you stay any longer, I will really lock you here."

"Then lock it..." Henry hugged Eric tightly.

Eric didn't speak, and Henry didn't make a sound either, the two just remained silent like this, greedily enjoying the little time left.

If possible, I really want to hold you like this for the rest of my life...

But no...no...I know, you don't belong to me...you belong to the whole British Empire...why, why if you are a prince...why if you are a king...you are not even a poor common man, I don't would be so sad...

The next day, Eric sent Henry to the exit of the dark forest. Henry's horse was still grazing not far away. Henry looked at his horse, lowered his head, and stopped.

Eric walked over and led the horse over, and carried Henry onto the horse's back.

"Let's go..." Eric smiled reluctantly.

"En..." Henry agreed, but the hands of the two were tightly held together, and neither of them let go first.

"...Take care of yourself..." Eric gritted his teeth and wanted to pull his hand out: "Just remember to visit me once in a while... I will always be here waiting for you..."

Henry firmly grabbed Eric's hand that was about to be withdrawn, with a stubborn gleam in his green eyes.

"Hal...I love you..." Eric stretched out his left hand, and slowly pressed it on Henry's grasping hand.

Henry looked at the hand that was pulled out of his hand bit by bit, and his heart seemed to be emptied bit by bit. It wasn't until Eric's fingers were completely out of his palm that Henry closed his eyes deeply. , when he opened his eyes again, the eyes that belonged to Hal had receded completely, leaving only Henry's decisiveness and ruthlessness.

"...Wait for me, I will come back to see you." Henry pulled the horse's rein, and rode away without looking back.

Henry knew that he must not turn back, as long as he turned back...he would never be the Henry who lived for the country, but the Hal who couldn't live without Eric for the rest of his life...
