Chapter 260: The Story After the Story

Forbidden Love......

Sometimes it doesn't just mean a dark love affair that crosses races, crosses blood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info actually has this kind of love affair, in the beautiful lyrics of the bard, it will be a kind of romantic and aesthetic alternative embodiment. It's like the love story between the Generalissimo of the Empire Rethusus and the emerald dragon princess Ysera, the twists and turns are bizarre, and the perfect ending of a man and a dragon can finally achieve a positive result after going through ups and downs, has always been the topic of most interest to everyone from the aristocratic court to the common people.

But that's not all there is to forbidden love...... It also includes some things that ordinary people really can't accept, such as the relationship between women that goes beyond friendship.

Women from wealthy families can be said to be lucky in life, but in a sense, they are the most unlucky. Although wealthy ladies are born with no worries about food and clothing, and can have whatever they want, the only thing they can't get is emotional freedom. Not to mention the declining aristocratic daughters like Cassandra, the big boss of Lao Cai, once the family behind them loses power, their fate is not as good as that of slaves.

Ladies from ordinary aristocratic families, no matter what kind of talent they have, no matter how powerful the family behind them is, whether they have the love of the family with real power, even if the family is smooth, these girls will face only one fate in the end, that is, to be used as a tool to protect the interests of the family, or even to be sacrificed. Marriage is one of the most common options, even in the Seven Duchies and even the royal family.

The internal atmosphere of the aristocratic and wealthy families is corrupt and absurd, and they even raise prostitutes. Perverted things such as the torture and killing of subhuman slaves can be widely spread as a kind of elegance, and even become the material for nobles to compare with each other or suppress those who don't like it. As for the true forbidden love that transcends blood relations. Although it can't be undisguised or even flaunted like other things, it can't be considered a big deal. It is no secret that the biological mother of the current emperor Durothal the Great is actually his own aunt. The absurd aristocratic circle has an unimaginable tolerance for such things. However, it is important to stress that this inclusion is aimed at men only. That's right, only men can be forgiven and accepted for doing such absurd things, and that's where it's not fair. Women from wealthy families must ensure absolute purity before they get married, otherwise they will be exposed to the blessed light of the intricate and fancy divine spells of the Holy See during the wedding ceremony, and then become the laughing stock of the entire aristocratic circle and the great shame of the family. The ladies who fall into this kind of fate often end up in only three ways, and most of them are burned at the stake of the Holy See. A few of the goods that became slave markets were not yet high-class goods. Only a very small number of unclean women are placed under house arrest and spend the rest of their lives in dark living rooms. As for marriage, when the ladies become ladies' wives, they are allowed to have secret lovers, and satisfy their physical and psychological needs without dishonoring the head of the family. Of course, this is only limited to those who are more powerful in the main room, and the lover is the lover, and it must be guaranteed to be "hidden", even if it is only "hidden" in form.

In such a social environment. A woman from a wealthy family wants to challenge her destiny, and it is obviously not easy to take an unusual path. It's not that the empire doesn't have high-level female generals and high-ranking female officials, but there really isn't a genuine lady from a wealthy family.

At least on the bright side......

The so-called legend. It refers to the word of mouth, which is sometimes very different from the truth, as if no one knows. The iron wall of the empire that everyone admires, fears, envies, and fears, and is a legendary god of war. The dragoon Rethus, who was born in the royal family, turned out to be a woman......

That's right. She is an authentic royal princess. is a princess who is unwilling to be bound by fate and runs away from home before the wedding date. The bards' descriptions are not entirely fictional, many of them are true, even the forbidden love between humans and dragons is real, and the only mistake, and the truth they will not know at all, is to mistake the princess disguised as a man for a prince.

A story is still a story after all, just as the story after the story is always unattended, and the real story after the story of the protagonist is often very bland, boring, and even ...... Bitter.

Rethusus and Ysera are one person and one dragon, how difficult it is for this pair of alternative lovers to come together, the descriptions in those artistically processed poems and ballads are not only not exaggerated, but also far from reaching the weight, after all, the real gender of the generalissimo of the empire is listed as the most core state secret, and there are very few people in the entire empire who know it, and they are not allowed to leave any written traces at all, how can those bards know. So no one knows the real difficulties.

No one could doubt the affection between Rethuses and Ysera, and even they themselves believed that it would never fade.

However, it turns out that in the face of the relentless consumption of time, nothing in this world is truly immortal.

As long as it is a living thing, it has the most basic **, and among them, the ** that maintains the reproduction of the species is undoubtedly the strongest of them, especially the high-level creatures that stand at the top of all species, such as the dragon, but it is well known that no matter how much two women love each other, it is impossible for them to give birth to a real offspring.

Of course, the two of them would not resent each other because of this, after all, this was mentally prepared before they were united with each other. But the emptiness and the deepest regret of the soul could not disappear, both of them were forcibly suppressed, but this unhealable wound in the soul was subtle, silently tormenting the two, so Ysera's temper became more and more irritable, and even often vexatious, so Retuses threw himself into the battlefield, often not returning for months.

The lonely and empty humanoid dragon could only relieve the melancholy in her heart in a human way, which even she couldn't explain. Until she met the last person she should have met at some midnight drinking party......

The great love affair deteriorated little by little, and perhaps Ysera's love for Rethusus did not fade, but it was undeniable. The child and her secret lover have been forcibly squeezed between the two. Ysera's pain and depression did not disappear completely, and she began to be condemned and tortured on another level of the psyche. But this is nothing compared to the joy of being a true mother. After all, she is not human, but an ancient dragon that will not be bound by human morality.

Of course, Rethusus knew all this. But she did not reprimand her wife, nor did she kill her bold secret lover with a sword, but silently raised a child who had no blood relationship with her, silently watched the back of his wife who had a tryst with her lover, and silently endured all this incomparably heavy ......

This time it was the same, when the angry wife took off her mask and pointed at herself and yelled, Rethusus never said a word, just silently watching her like that. Until the Emerald Dragon Princess cried and fell to the ground. In all fairness, Rethuss was also very sincere in her feelings for the three nominal children, after all, they had the blood of the woman she loved the most, and after all, deep down she longed to be able to vent the forcibly suppressed maternal love...... So Rethusus tried to make himself like a true father, to take care of them, to educate them, to love them.

When his wife feels uneasy and tells her that her beloved daughter Maria has an accident, Rethusus is anxious to find out the whereabouts of her proud but gifted eldest daughter. It's kind of weird. Although these children are not related to her in the slightest blood, their personalities are very similar to those of the young Letusus, the wayward princess who dared to abandon her royal status and run away from home. Not only independent and free, but also very rebellious.

The eldest daughter, Maria, concealed her parents and did not carry the legendary magical equipment of the family that could reveal her identity. Just like that, he hid his true strength and infiltrated the Holy Flame Knights of the Holy See. She didn't even have a specific purpose, just to hear that the Knights of the Holy Fire were on a great and epic mission. It's a total fun game for girls.

What happens next is pretty simple......

Maria, who is not protected by legendary magic items, after being dragged into the abyss of hell. was demonized into an ugly labyrinth monster, a tyrannosaurus beast. Her talent, the dragon blood flowing in her body only made her very powerful. That is until she meets Goron, who is incarnated as a cannibal Kong, and is then killed.

Rethuses didn't know what happened to her daughter after she joined the Knights of the Holy Fire, but she was the Generalissimo of the Empire after all, and she knew very well how terrible the hellish labyrinth that hid the Abyss Contract of the God Slayer was very clear, and what would happen to her daughter who didn't carry the legendary magic items, Rethusus could guess even without investigating.

But she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart that the daughter she had carefully taught would be favored by the god of luck or the elder dragon god, and finally return to them in a false alarm.

Until today, the subhumans suddenly visited her military camp......

The group was led by a somewhat well-known halfling mage, and the Empire's intelligence service confirmed that this guy was also involved in the exploration of the Abyssal Labyrinth as a representative of the subhuman forces. And what he brought to himself was her daughter, Mary's poor corpse with only the upper half of her body left.

The halfling mage claimed to know who the killer was, and handed him a lost elven girl, telling him that the elven girl had witnessed the murder of her daughter and had a very close relationship with the murderer. No one could lie in front of the enraged Letusus, so the Generalissimo believed what the subhumans were saying and paid them a reward. Of course, she also left behind the elf girl who was said to be the one in the know.

Incidentally, she also learned something very important...... The exploration of the Abyss Labyrinth has ended, and those survivors who survived were scattered and teleported to the outskirts of the imperial capital for unknown reasons.

This was originally a very important matter, but Rethusus, who was immersed in the pain of losing her daughter, had no time to care about it, and she didn't even bother to carefully interrogate the elven girl named Luna Moon Shadow, so she hurried back to Black Mountain and returned to her home. But when she saw her wife, she couldn't tell the cruel truth. In fact, she knew that Ysera had already known about the death of her beloved daughter, but she still deceived herself, and even tried to get a false lie from her "father". In that case, why should she shatter her last bit of hope.

Ysera finally fell asleep, and Rethusus silently picked her up and placed her in their beds. In order to maintain the secrecy of his gender, there are no permanent servants in this Dorag castle, and only when the master leaves the house will a group of servants be arranged to clean and take care of the house. As for the rest, it can only be the owner's own hands.

Looking at his wife's face, which was still sobbing from time to time in her sleep, and stroking her long, charming emerald hair, Rethus's heart was also confused and sad, and she kissed her on the lips lightly, and then walked to the bathroom.

The bathrooms in Dorag's castle are so large that even a real dragon can fit them. The bathrooms are supported by eighteen huge stone pillars, and one wall is completely opened up to see the view from outside, and the Dorrag Castle is located in the upper area of Montenegro, which looks down without fear of being peeped at. Although there are no servants to take care of it, the bathroom is equipped with a very advanced magic circulation system, which ensures that the bathroom has clean hot water at all times.

Rethusus walked forward as he stripped off his armor one by one. She threw these epic weapons to the ground, casting a straight line along the way, and a moment later, a female body that was probably the best combination of strength and beauty ever created by the gods appeared by the bath. The steaming mist made her figure loom, and the next moment, she was already stepping into the pool.

The hot water mixed with special spices completely submerged the woman's figure, and I don't know how long it took for a perfect face to rise from the water. Her water-soaked hair spread across the woman's face, making it impossible to see her expression. Suddenly, the closed eyes of the Imperial Marshal suddenly opened, and two blinding lights seemed to illuminate the entire starry sky. Rethusus's gaze seemed to be able to see through the night, beyond infinite distances, to the city gate at the foot of Mount Black Mountain, and at this moment, in the reflection of her pupils, was a beautiful young man dressed in women's clothes......
