Time is so precious and daunting. Everything is always so fast, in a few memories and yearnings, the end of the year is still coming. On what should be celebrated, Leo is not the only one who is looking for Glori.

Ruth has not been able to hear from Glori. She was so worried that she kept asking if what she was seeing was the truth. She knew that Glori was a good man, and that he had shown charisma, kindness, and bravery, both in the Hunt Log and in Hunt Swamp. But what about what she saw in the glaives? What she saw with her own eyes made her sad, but she hung in the air at the thought of Glori jumping off a cliff.

"Miss Ruth, today is the festival of the Kingdom of Alex, the annual river festival. "Ross Smith came here alone. She found Ruth, who was standing by the river to the west.

Ruth tried not to think about Glori: "Time flies, and it's a new year. However, the people of Alex Kingdom are still enduring the torture of the Demon Dragon Empire. Under Kyle's rule, even the nobility suffered. ”

"Yes, they need us to deliver, and the entire kingdom is waiting for you to lead and push the tide of darkness back into the ancient ice fields. Ross said.

Ruth looked at the ice on the surface of the river, and his heart was cold. "Those nobles, there are still those who oppose us. They have always refused to let go of the wealth in their hands, that is, the wealth that has been bought by bending the knee. Is it true that they treat us as flowers that bloom for a while, and that they stop being nostalgic when the season is over?" she had a sad look on her face, and she was uncertain, not even in disbelief because of the constant impact of grief.

Rose walked to the river and put the paper crane in his hand made of dead leaves into the water. Soon, the crane was squeezed by the ice and sank. "You are right, Your Highness Princess. There are always some despicable villains who take advantage of us, and even oppose our practices, and they think that the Demon Dragon Empire is where they belong. They pay taxes every year with the money they have collected, but they do not see the misery of the barren. Even, they turned a blind eye to those who died on the gallows because of their belief in the god of light. Only those who stand with the light will understand what the world needs. But ......" The sinking of the paper crane made her gradually speechless.

"But those who are on our side have to endure bad views and sacrifices for our purpose. And now? Countless people have paid the price, and those who have endured oppression and enjoyed the life in front of them are talking about it. It's sad. Ruth said. Her words are sharp, and every sentence ...... Even every word seeped into Rose's heart, echoing Rose's will.

"So, what are you worried about? Time is precious, just like life. We don't have time to waste on one person. It's ridiculous that we still pin all our hopes on him. Your Highness, my princess, wake up, he's just a traitor! a treacherous fellow, and he saved the Darkmoon Maiden, the Great Devil, before our eyes. Perhaps the person you love has become a demon, or is now enjoying himself like the casual bystanders?

Rose's words were cold, and he pulled out a slight smile at the end of his words. The silver sword badge on her chest seemed to be really dripping blood, bright red but heavy. However, she didn't know what it meant, whether it was because of the truth of her words or because of the rebuttal of the god of light. She reached for the silver sword badge, only to find that it was a hallucination. Must be tired, she thought.

"This is today's river festival. Dylan took Ireth by the hand and walked down the rocky slope. He saw the only two people by the river, Ruth and Rose.

"Dylan, help me put this crane into the river, I'm going to make a wish. Iris let go of Dylan's hand and kissed him on the cheek.

Ruth smiled. As Elrith's face approached Dylan, she had already looked at the cliff on which Glori had jumped.

"They're sweet, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?" Rose whispered to Ruth.

In Alex's capital, Honor City, Rose met many of the sons of ministers, who met their admirers at balls and offered a diamond ring or other valuable gift to win their hearts. As a result, only a handful of those people can be together. But what do these things have to do with herself? No, they do, she thought. Isn't that what Her Royal Highness is dealing with? It's just that Glori Carlos has never given anything expensive.

Ross tried to persuade Ruth, but he gradually fell into deep thought. She saw Ruth and Glori's happiness when they talked together, and saw Ruth worried about Glori, and witnessed Ruth protecting Glori in front of Silver.

Rose felt that Ruth deserved happiness, but that happiness was meaningless compared to the grievances of the kingdom. And does a princess need to spend time on this? there will always be noble sons who will follow her, like Silver and Wolfer, though neither of them is very popular, and she thinks that Her Royal Highness is very pitiful, because marriage is the best option. The kingdom needs Her Royal Highness, and it is painful for Rose to stand in the way of her happiness, but what about the will of the people of the kingdom, the king of Velon? A knight of the Silver Sword Warband, not only the guardian of the king of Velon, but also the glory of the kingdom - in the end, Rose thought.

"Rose, this time you are in a daze, I almost don't want to interrupt you, you are such a distracted person. Ruth said. Then she sank down. She watched as Dylan stepped on the rocks and reached the surface of the river. 139 Reading Network

Dylan staggered to the rock, tried to bend down, but his feet were slippery, and luckily, he was propped up on another rock. With that, Dylan placed the crane on the surface of the river and smiled. And the ice cubes and the crushed ice squeezed from the rocks made Dylan's actions look thrilling, as if he was going to fall into the river at any moment.

"Dylan, you're awesome!" called Irris.

Ruth heard Elrith's words and turned to look at Elrith as if he understood something.

The River Festival is a festival established by King Velun to worship those who have sacrificed their lives for the kingdom and to pray for a better life. If you place the crane closer to the middle of the river, it means that there will be less frustration in the process of fulfilling your wishes, because what you give now is paving the way for the future. That's why Ruth saw Dylan's risky move, and she knew that Dylan wanted to trade his current efforts for a better reward. And because of this, Ruth saw that Irrith was reassured and supportive of Dylan, even though Dylan was cautiously stepping on the slippery rocks, Elrith still believed that Dylan would succeed.

"And what about me and Glori?" Ruth meditated.

When Glori was in danger, Ruth questioned him, and it wasn't something she wanted to do. She wanted to stand by his side, even for a while, but how could she face Hunter and the Wolfers, who were both arguing with each other and pointing the finger at Glori, and in full view. Lu thought to believe Glori, but he could only prevent him from being thrown off a cliff.

The people of Alex's kingdom were suffering, and Ruth felt that he should not hesitate or even get lost because of his emotions. "If I don't believe in Glori, and push him down in my favor, can I still have the courage to face the people of the kingdom? I don't want that!" Ruth thought a lot for a moment. However, she could find no proof of Glori's innocence, as Glori had saved the witch Luna, including those she had seen.

At this moment, Dylan stood still and jumped over, his body light, as if it had been given by Irris's prayer. He bowed to Ruth and stepped forward to take Elris's hand. "Look, the ice cubes are just now being honest, and they're just sliding down with all their might. It's like those who roll their eyes at us, who always like to talk behind their backs, but don't dare to stand up and do something meaningful. He said.

"Hmm...... I don't like people who don't know what to do. When the Revival Corps is confronted by the Order-keeping who have invaded our homeland, some not only do not contribute, but even defect to the Order-Keepers. Iris said. She watched as Rose used her sword to remove the ice and remove obstacles for the crane. Then, she went to look at Ruth again, and found Ruth frowning.

Ruth found that it was always because of the influence of inexplicable words that brought Glori to his heart. "I believe Glori Carlos!" she argued. She mistakenly assumed that among the people Iris was talking about was Glori. In this moment, she lost her graceful demeanor.

"Your Royal Highness, what I said is not what you think. I don't mean to denigrate. Iris explained. She looked at Ruth with an apologetic gaze, which made Ruth feel sad.

"Your Highness, we all want to believe in Glori, and we have always believed in him. But what did he do that day?" said Dylan sadly, and gradually raised his voice, "He is my brother, and even more so my best friend! Now, I am disappointed in this, and how I wish what I saw that day was all false!" He was already annoyed that people had forgotten about the river festival, and when he heard Glori's name, he couldn't hide his anger.

"Hey, watch your tone!" Rose stepped forward, blocked Ruth, and gave Dylan a push.

"It's okay, I'm the one who should apologize. I'm sorry I misunderstood what Iris said. Ruth's face was streaked with tears. She couldn't restrain herself, as if she hadn't made a mistake but had been reprimanded. However, these tears were not because of grievance, but because of sorrow.

"Your Highness, this will all pass. You're the princess of Alex's kingdom. Ross said. She covered Ruth's hood and tightened the tether for her.

However, Ruth is torn between the glory of the kingdom and his feelings for Glori. She hadn't forgotten her goal, and she couldn't forget Glori, especially Glori's righteous deeds and fearless dedication, but what she couldn't forget the most was the warmth that came from Glori's hand as she held her hand.

In fact, Ruth understands Glori's grief, tries not to snoop on it, and enjoys listening to Glori, even after seeing what he's doing on the Glaive Cliffs, she trusts it. She hoped that Glori would return and be with him by bringing the witch to the execution table and proclaiming justice. That's what she thinks, wanting to be with Glori.
