Chapter 12: The Girl's Determination
"We can't see each other again. β
Under the huge oak tree where the two often met, the cheerful boy, his eyebrows furrowed in anguish, looked at the girl in front of him with a quiet expression of some trouble.
It seems that he wants to try to create a solemn and solemn sense of seriousness, right?
It's a pity that his cheerful expression on weekdays has taken root in the girl's heart, making him look like he is making her laugh no matter what his expression is.
However, today's sentence is still like a thunderbolt from the sky, directly leaving a huge imprint on the girl's heart.
She...... Ever thought about it.
The day of parting will definitely come.
The two people's identities are too different, and they are the daughters of one party, even if they are only used as political social tools by their father and stepmother.
Lohia's father was a small and powerful viscount. It's a title that's just a little better than a baron. For those in power, there is a natural desire to climb up.
And to climb up, you need tools.
And Lohia, is that tool.
In fact, Lohia is not a member of this family, she is the remaining child of His Excellency the Viscount and his lover, and the impurity of her blood makes her suffer from the cold treatment in this family. Although everyone did not abuse her in particular, few people, including the servants, looked at her with a straight eye.
Unlike fairy tales, fairy tales are only imaginary works after all, and abuse, beatings, and such low-grade means of hurting people are very rare in reality.
Because, she is a valuable commodity.
If a person is going to give away a beautiful vase, will he casually hit it with a stick? No, no.
For a person, physical violence is always temporary, and real violence comes from the wound in the heart.
Wordless indifference, everyone regarded Lohia as a tool for communication, and even her father, who once said without hesitation at the dinner table, "Only inheriting the beauty of that woman is the most commendable." β
The woman in his mouth was naturally Lohia's mother.
Lord Viscount planned to take advantage of Lohia's beauty, and then take her to the ball held by the princes and nobles, and then, let her appear in all directions, and then climb up by climbing relationships with higher magnates.
Lohia knew very well how important she was to her father. I have sisters and younger sisters, first, in terms of beauty, they can't compare to Lohia, they are pampered, and the fat on their arms alone is more plump than Lohia's chest, unless it is to climb the high branches of the viscount, who wants to marry?
Second, the father planned to let himself seduce the powerful son, and naturally he would not let himself escape.
In other words, he is a unique existence to his father......
What irony?
Don't......
Was it his father who put pressure on him?
This was Lohia's first reaction.
Could it be, what did his father do to him?
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
She tried to suppress the panic in her heart, tried to persuade herself, there were not so many coincidences, however, her heart was still pounding.
The girl who was forced to be calm, the wavering between her eyebrows was seen by the young man, and he could only show a helpless expression and continued.
"Because, we're going to do something dangerous. β
The king was captured, and the heir who held the whole book in his hand, and he was rampant, and Luo Xiya probably didn't feel it, right? After all, as a vase, it would never be destroyed before it was given away, and her family would protect her well, so she didn't feel it.
And when the two go to the forest to play, they will also take the initiative to avoid crowded places, so Luo Xiya doesn't know what the current situation is.
And Robin Hood is different.
He was born into a commoner, wore a linen shirt all the year round, had fun in the streets and alleys, and came back from the market every day to listen to everyone's complaints. This cheerful young man is naturally so cheerful in front of everyone, and he can easily become friends with anyone, which means that he can clearly understand the current situation from these friends.
The sudden increase in taxes and a series of unreasonable measures have made it impossible for the people at the bottom to survive.
For civilians, more is better than less. They are always content with the status quo and just want to live their lives in peace, but now that their acting king is already pushing them to their deaths, then his only choice is only one, right?
If you don't resist, you will die, and if you resist, the worst outcome will be just death.
He didn't explain much, the young man named Robin Hood always had that confident and strong expression on his face, he was always like this, and his eyes showed the tenacity of wanting to do something.
"Dangerous?"
"Well, it's very dangerous - to fight against the whole country, and then take back its future - or something~"
The first half of the boy's sentence was full of enthusiasm and flying faith, but the last three words made his overall tone the same as before, relaxed.
"With, the country ...... [confrontation]?"
Lohia repeated the word in astonishment.
The average person, perhaps amazed at what a terrible enemy he said of the country it was.
Those who know a little about him may be surprised by his madness, fighting with people is bound to involve many aspects, base areas, supply points, weapons supply problems, manpower recruitment problems, whether there will be spies, how to counter encirclement and suppression...... There are many problems, no matter how you look at it, it is not something that a young person can afford.
And Lohia, the point of surprise is different from none of them.
[Confrontation].
It was something she had never thought about.
Even when she tried to jump off the building before, it was only because she was fascinated by a ghost for a while, and she wanted to swim in the blue sky as freely as a bird, and she never thought of fighting against her family.
Antagonism?
Rebel against that...... Own father?
However, when it comes to being a father, Lohia doesn't really feel like it.
After all, she hadn't even seen her a few times except during dinner.
Antagonism...... Ah, yes, is there still this way of life?
"Well, Miss Lohia, you, you seem to have two eyes shining, hey, hey, you, you're not serious, are you?!"
Should he say that he is worthy of being the founder of Robin Hood? His gaze was as vicious as ever, and he could see at once the hope in the girl's eyes.
"Hmmm......"
The girl nodded silently.
The West and the East are different. There is no such thing as "yes, I'm not serious." Hence the meaning of this nod......
[Yes, I'm serious.] γ
Lohia nodded firmly.
Even if you want to live a life of eating and sleeping in the open from today.
Even if you have to embark on a life of displacement from today.
Even if it is to embark on a bloody and dirty road from today.
Be duty-bound not to turn back.
She didn't have any memories of that family.
Family, has always been such a thing.
Compared with blood ties, bonds are the most important hub to maintain people's connections.
If there were only blood relatives, like Lohia, I am afraid that the Viscount would not have regarded him as a father a long time ago.
"Hey...... I didn't think about kidnapping a young lady to rebel......"
He still showed that distressed look, he spread his hands seriously, and explained to her with a dance.
"Do you really understand what we're going to do? That's against the country? Based on this forest, we're going to have to fight a pretty hard battle for the king's gold!"
Lohia nodded.
She didn't want to go back to that delicate prison, that beautiful cage.
If she hadn't tasted freedom, perhaps Lohia would have been content with the status quo. If you are lucky enough to marry someone who likes you, then you may be able to live a very happy life.
However, once you have tasted the sweetness of freedom, you don't want to miss it.
It was once difficult to turn the sea into water.
"Please, take me along. β
She pleaded.
She knew that if it was this young man, she would definitely smile bitterly, her bright brows and eyes furrowed, and then tell herself......
ββββββββββββββ
"Oops, that's a real problem!"
Tsukahara Mingshi muttered out this sentence.
In a trance, he realized that he had woken up, and the lines he had just uttered were the words of the linen-colored Robin Hood in his sleep.
That's probably the real Heroic Robin Hood.
Robin Hood can be viewed in two ways.
The first is the leader of the [Robin Hood] thief group, that is, Robin Hood himself.
The second is the kind of Lohia, because he joined the group of Robin Hood, wears a green hood, and is good at bows and arrows and forest battles.
There is almost no resemblance to the legendary Robin Hood, presumably, the legend has lost its original truth in the inheritance from generation to generation. The biggest disadvantage of word of mouth lies in this, the legend will be in the rumor, the person who said it will be understood and elaborated by himself, and gradually change his original posture.
What's more, Robin Hood is not a person, it has many faces......
For Tsukahara Mingshi, Robin Hood is the beautiful girl in front of him who wears a green hood and is struggling with a lot of metal parts.
"What's wrong, Master, did you have a nightmare?"
Looking up from the pile of parts, Lohia's hands and face were covered with black ash, which looked like the posture of a standard maintenance worker in the anime.
"Well...... Should I say it's a nightmare...... Na...... archerβ¦β¦ That one...... Mr. Robin Hood, what kind of person is you?"
The dream came to an abrupt end, and Tsukahara thought for a moment, but decided and asked.
Lohia suddenly stopped what she was doing.
"Really...... You dreamed of my past...... If you're curious, I'll tell you a little bit about it. It's not an interesting story, though. β
