11. The reckless Miranda

On the first day, she followed the rules, keeping her head down as she approached the prince, not daring to lift even the corners of her eyes. On www.biquge.info second day, while pouring wine for the prince, she forgot that there was no more wine in the jug. She trembled with fright, and instead of scolding, she heard the prince's hearty laughter. I couldn't help but glance up, and in an instant, the spring flowers bloomed, and the sun seemed to lose its color. She doesn't remember how she got home that day.

In the middle of the night, she came to her senses. God!" she muttered to herself, facing the palace, "please give me the prince's kiss." Even if I want to take away eternal life, I am willing. The next day, she did.

As she reached out to Thrandil, blue eyes so beautiful that she would like to be robbed of her eternal life flickered.

"Of course I do, beautiful elf. Accompanied by the prince's breathtaking voice, there was a wet sensation on the back of his hand. She was in a state of confusion again, and did not hear the prince say anything more. "I've never tried a hand kiss, this is my first time. ”

After that, she felt like someone was pushing her. When she came to her senses again, she and her family had been abandoned in the dense forest. The first one that came into view was her father, whose face was angry and shaking constantly.

"Miranda, what bad things have you done?"

Then came the complaining mother and brother. I don't know who said, "Our whole family has been banished by the king." ”

Even in places close to the Great Green Forest, you can often encounter aliens. Sometimes dwarves, sometimes man-bears, more often orcs and ferocious beasts. Tovela's blessings, they encountered mostly scattered enemies, and his brother Gergil was a soldier of the royal palace and had received good combat training, so they finally survived without danger. But what about the future?

There was no food, no change of clothes, not even a shelter from the elements. In the absence of food and supplies, Gegil, who had always been strong, began to lose his strength. What was even more terrifying was that they didn't even have arrows, only two thin knives. Miranda felt miserable, she didn't understand what she had done wrong.

Vernoll knew that the fault was Thrandil.

He excitedly described the experience of kissing hands to his father, not noticing that the king's face had turned pale. As he complimented him on how lovely and amusing the first maid who dared to speak to him, King AurΓ©fer suddenly said, "It seems that it is time to find you a princess." ”

"Princess?" the young prince did not particularly understand what the princess meant to him, and he tilted his head and asked, "will anyone live with me in the future?" Father, can I keep Miranda with me all the time?"

One sentence decided the fate of Miranda's family. Knowing the news, the prince was stunned at first, then angry. He remembered that many years ago, when he was a child, there was also a maid who was banished for kissing his forehead and finally died a tragic death under the attack of the orcs. Thranduil believed that it was his father's disrespect for his friend, or rather for himself. He argued with the king in front of all the officials and demanded to take Miranda back. Four days later, he waited for Avril to sit on the bed, and the conflict between father and son became more and more intense.

In Vernor's summary, "it was evident that the only child, who had never had a friend, did not communicate well with his impulsive father". Luckily, while chasing the orcs, she met Miranda's family. At that time, Gergil was almost stabbed to death, and Miranda's father was seriously injured and dying.

Miranda, who had spent three days in prison, was released, knowing that she was being grabbed by the shoulders and walking towards the very center of the palace. What fate awaited her? She couldn't imagine that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After the two ornate doors opened, she was pushed inside, and the huge force of the thrust caused her to fall to the empty floor. She struggled to half-sit on the floor, sneaking around out of the corner of her eye.

"Put away your humble eyes, Miranda. There's no one you're looking for. ”

She looked up and saw the female elf with a silver mask and a floppy hat.

"Is that you?" Miranda prostrate in front of the elf, looking up at the sharp blue eyeballs behind the mask. "Thank you for saving my family, please accept my sincerest wishes. ”

The hem of the skirt that was grabbed in her hand quickly pulled away, and the silver mask took five steps back. There was no trace of joy in her naturally upturned red lips, and cold words slowly rushed out of this thin and three-dimensional lip. "You should know that this is the most noble area of the palace, and the creatures who can stand here and speak are not to be approached by the lowly Sylvan elves. ”

This principle was repeated by the officials who took every opportunity to repeat it to all the chamberlains. Of course Miranda knew, but she didn't think that the Sylvan elves were born lowly. "I'm sorry. I just can't help it. ”

"It's good that you know how to hide your true thoughts. Please control your behavior as well. Fnorr struggled to make his expression look more severe, "Doesn't the punishment you received for the prince's daring act still make you restrain you?"

"I don't regret what I did. Prince...... He is like the moonlight in the sky, if he can get the moonlight, I am willing to lose eternal life. ”

If she showed the slightest remorse, Vernor would follow the original plan and use her family as a threat to achieve her goals. After all, in the eyes of the blonde elf, the Sylvan elf was like a wild flower all over the green forest and meadow, and she had no way to care. But the Sylvan elf in front of him made Vernore find a sense of familiarity. Many years ago, there was also a Sylvan elf who said to himself, "I never regret it. Just worry that you will be grieving because you will not be able to receive the gift that God has given you. ”

Vernor shook his head slightly, stopping the thought in time to pull himself out of the sad memories. The Sylvan elf in front of her had an admiring side, and Vernor was glad that he had inquired about Miranda beforehand. The next step is to follow the plan.

She pulled out the blade she wore at her waist and dropped it at Miranda's feet. "In that case, please prove yourself with your actions. ”

Miranda trembled and reached out, her fingers shrinking back as soon as she touched the cold blade. She took a few deep breaths, reached over again, closed her eyes and grabbed it.

"Hurry up, I have other things to do. Vernor took two steps forward with a little impatience.
