Chapter 158: The Eve of the Great War
(Haha!I'm finally back!Did you miss me?okay...... I kind of know the results...... )
"What's the matter? Seeing that you look like you're not giving up, could it be that you have to leave the protection of Your Highness and go to the battlefield, so you're scared?"
In the dwarven army, Daphne, who was preparing for the battle, said to Charlotte with a smile.
said that it was refurbished, but in fact it had little to do with the two. Molten Iron Castle did send its most elite team this time, led by Teklin and Lorraine.
The Mage and Ranger were just waiting for the Dwarven warriors to assemble in the army.
The absent-minded Charlotte was stunned, and then retorted, "What are you talking about, I've never seen a captive dare to laugh at the prison guards." ”
"Prisoner, me?" said Daphne, who sat on the cobblestone, looking Charlotte up and down with a mocking look, and snorted disdainfully, "with all due respect, but I don't think you have what it takes to take me captive. ”
Charlotte didn't mind, because Devany, though she said it badly, couldn't be further from the truth.
But if he wants to admit defeat, he won't do it, so the mage clasped his hands to his chest and said with the same disdain, "Don't forget, your suspicion has not been eliminated, and you are still under my sister's suspicion." ”
Devany wasn't annoyed, and sneered, "That's why I'm curious what you're struggling with." You see, even I know that it is almost impossible to escape under the nose of His Highness, so what do you have to worry about when you are protected? Or ......?"
In the darkness, she stood up, bent down to put her cheek close to Charlotte's chest, and stared at the mage with a smile from the bottom up, "You're still a child who hasn't grown up, and you're trembling with fear without the protection of your parents?"
These words really poked Charlotte's sore spot!
Over the years, Sylvia has cared for him in every detail, but she has also protected him too much. You know, he is no longer the twelve-year-old kid of Savoie Castle, but a master spell caster with up to eight rings. In terms of strength, it can be regarded as a handful of people who can walk sideways in the world of Steeu.
This more or less made Charlotte, who was naturally free by nature, feel constrained. But he can also understand that his identity is special, and he can be regarded as more or less sympathetic to Sylvia's feelings.
So he put on a straight face and said to Devany, who was close to him, "Be careful, Your Highness the Princess, you are suspected of sowing discord by saying this. ”
Devany grinned, her hands behind her back, her pale golden eyes glinting with a sly look, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Someone seems to be not only a sister control maniac, but even a sister ......"
Charlotte's heart almost jumped to her throat. At that moment, Daphne's voice stopped abruptly, and she suddenly sat back down on the cobblestone with a straight face, and drew her two knives from her waist to carefully wipe the surface of the knife.
"Bastard!" Charlotte said angrily, "what did you just want to say!?"
However, Daphne, who was buried and wiping the double knife, tilted her head, revealing a puzzled expression.
Smelling the faint scent of cherry blossoms in her nose, Charlotte realized something and turned to look, only to see that behind her, Sylvia glanced at Daphne with a warning look in her indifferent eyes. The latter pretended to be stupid and smiled, and buried himself in the work of maintaining the knives, and did not dare to talk nonsense.
"Sister......" was said by Daphne so flustered that Charlotte was actually a little flustered when she faced Sylvia.
Sylvia nodded, but she gestured to the path next to her, motioning for Charlotte to follow.
The two walked side by side for about three or four minutes, and Sylvia, who had been silent, asked this time, "...... You don't blame me for being arrogant, are you?"
Charlotte also wanted to use herself as bait to lure the Calamity Witch out, and the mage, who still felt guilty about releasing the witch, was bent on doing something to make up for his mistake.
Charlotte shook her head, "No! ”
“…… Really?" Sylvia's voice seemed a little silent amid the whining wind underground, "...... That's good. ”
Perhaps, she thought, her concern for Charlotte did bother him.
The chaotic mood of wanting the other party to grow as soon as possible, but worrying that she will no longer have the slightest value after growing up, makes Sylvia suffer from gains and losses.
"Don't worry...... Charlotte misunderstood Sylvia's meaning, "I'll protect myself and think twice about everything." If the situation is not right, I will contact you with the badge as soon as possible. ”
Sylvia opened her lips lightly, but sadly gave up on the explanation. I wanted to ask Charlotte directly what she really thought, and ask him if he felt that his guardianship was too annoying, but he was afraid to hear the final answer.
Between gains and losses, Sylvia, who had won back people's hearts, bowed her head and smiled bitterly. Then he pinched the tips of his blonde playful hair in front of Charlotte's worried eyes to hide his inner emotions.
"Little demon. She called softly.
"Meow-" The golden cat, who had always been inseparable from her, sprang out like a ghost from nowhere, leaning against Sylvia's sexy, rounded ankles, rubbing the delicate artwork with her cat face.
Charlotte, who was a leg controller, was stunned for a moment, and forgot to ask about Sylvia's rare depressed expression just now.
"Next, you follow Charlotte. Sylvia's voice returned to her composure, and she ordered the cat before saying to Charlotte, "Take her with you." If there is really any danger, she can resist you for a while, and then I can sense the situation over there through her and rush to your side with her as a coordinate. ”
Surrounded by war, Sylvia could not enter the city of Fortarazi at this sensitive time, not even if the Dwarves of Molten Iron Keep could enter the city. Unless the war ends, Sylvia is suspected of violating the Steian texts by actively participating in, or even directing a foreign war.
This was the rule that had been set at the beginning of the plan, and Charlotte understood Sylvia's difficulties and would not mind the other party's choice of action. Because that would be the same as Sylvia's own action.
What he cares about is that Sylvia calls the kitten 'she', not 'it'!
Thinking of what she saw in the Witch's Castle, Charlotte pointed to the golden cat in surprise and said, "She, she's a dream goblin!?"
"Hmm. Sylvia nodded, a wisp of complicated emotions appeared in her expression, as if with remembrance, as if with a little sadness, "She is a dream elf, and because of her, I am completely in touch with the Forest of Illusions...... Break with Nancy. ”
From the analysis of her complicated expression at the moment, Charlotte felt that now was not the right time to ask Sylvia why she had defected to the Phantom Forest.
So he deliberately skipped this section and tried to liven up the atmosphere in a half-joking tone, "Sister, you really hide it from me! I always thought she was just an ordinary cat!"
Sylvia was really distracted, she pinched the ends of her hair in front of her forehead, and said with some surprise, "I'm sorry." ”
"Meow, I don't need to apologize, it's just that this guy is stupid, have you seen any ordinary cat that can live for so many years!" the dream fairy sneered disdainfully at Charlotte.
"It's not a big deal for a cat to live for twelve years!" the silver light flashed, and the stupid young girl puffed out her cheeks, "You bad cat! You can't even hide your own kind of adult! Do you still have a little shame!"
"Meow!! that's why I said that a master and a servant are all stupid!"
"Bastard! You're a fool and a fraudster! That's why I hate the Root Evidence of the Illusion Department! It's so convenient that you can hide the power of the root!"
Just as the battle was about to escalate, a call from behind him came from behind Tecklin.
"Brother Charlotte, are you ready? We're leaving!"
Sylvia and Charlotte each stopped the dispute between the two Origin Proofs, and the two looked at each other and nodded goodbye to each other.
"Be careful. ”
"Well, so is my sister. ”
In the night wind, Charlotte's figure traveled farther and farther away.
The Great War is coming!
