Chapter 35: Night Talk
"Are you awake?" Soon the princess noticed me...
"Well, I can't sleep well if I have something on my mind... I smiled sheepishly, and then got dressed and went out of the cave.
"It's a beautiful night tonight... The princess looked at the night sky and sighed.
"But you're more beautiful than the night... I muttered to myself, but I wasn't too embarrassed to say it.
"By the way, I never asked where your hometown is?"
"I don't know, I'm an abandoned baby... I smiled wryly.
When the princess heard this, an apologetic expression suddenly appeared on her face: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... ”
"It's okay, I'm used to it. By the way, why did you suddenly ask this? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that seeing such a beautiful night reminds me of some songs in my hometown, so I want to ask if there are similar ones in your hometown... The princess couldn't help but show a little sadness in her eyes as she spoke...
"Homesick?"
The princess smiled: "How do you know?" ”
"Look at your expression, when I was a soldier in the past, I often came into contact with those soldiers who left home for expeditions, and they often showed this expression whenever I thought of my hometown...
"Yes, sure enough, both humans and elves have the same feelings for their hometowns...
"I remember your hometown is the North Sea, right? It must be beautiful there, right? ”
"On the contrary, the climate is harsh, there is a lot of snow all year round, there is hardly any green to be seen, and the cold north wind blows like a knife on people's faces... Strictly speaking, it's not a good place to live... ”
Please, shouldn't ordinary people mention their hometown as much as possible to praise? The princess's reaction was really unexpected by me, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"But... Even so, didn't your tribe settle there? There must be some reason for you to stick to it, right? ”
"Promise, for an appointment...
"Agreed?" I wondered.
"You've heard of the Demon War, right?"
"Of course, seven hundred years ago, the wind god Lokia launched a rebellion in the heavenly realm, trying to overthrow the rule of the god king, this rebellion was huge, and even affected the world, Lokia's believers and some of the demons who were relegated to the human world also participated, and finally forced humans, elves, dwarves and other terrestrial races to form an alliance to fight against them, and after nearly eight years of long war, they finally drove that group of guys to the wilderness of the far north, which is the so-called "Demon War" in later generations. ”
The princess was a little surprised to hear me say in such detail, and said with a smile: "I don't see that you still know a lot." ”
"Where, I've heard all of this." I can't help but say vaguely, I can't say that these are what the demons who participated in the war told me, right? She may not believe it.
Fortunately, the princess did not delve into this, but continued: "The ancestors of our tribe also participated in this demon subjugation war, although in the end the alliance drove the demon clan to the far north, but everyone was worried that those guys would come back one day, so my ancestors offered to stay as guards, and in this way, we have survived in that bitter cold place for nearly seven hundred years from generation to generation..."
The princess said it very briefly, but I can still feel how many hardships and hardships are behind her words, which these outsiders who have not experienced it can never imagine...
'Is it worth it?' I couldn't help but ask.
'yes, is it worth it?' Sometimes I ask myself the same question, especially when I've seen so many ugly things over the years of the Templars, and sometimes I want to quit, but when I see a night like tonight, hear the birds singing in the morning, stroll along the clear lake in the afternoon, and even smell the aroma of the food wafting from the kitchens of thousands of homes at dusk, I feel as if all the sacrifices are worth it, the world may not be perfect, but there is always something for us to protect..." Speaking of this, the princess's eyes showed unprecedented serenity and firmness.
'Silly boy, there are so many fun things in this world, how can they be destroyed like this?' Haha...' Suddenly I remembered what the master had said back then, and it was quite similar to what the princess had just said.
'What's wrong with you?' Seeing that I had been stunned for a long time without speaking, the princess couldn't help asking.
'Oh, it's nothing, just remembering something from the past...' I smiled awkwardly.
'It's about girls?'
'Of course not!' I hurriedly argued.
Seeing my nervous look, the princess couldn't help but sneer, it was probably the most beautiful smile I had ever seen in my life, and at that moment I suddenly felt that I could understand the feeling in the princess's words just now, there may really be something in this world that is worthy of being guarded with life.
'It's strange to say you're a strange man...' I don't know how long it took for the princess's words to bring me back to reality.
'What do you say?'
'The average man who travels with three young women will not be able to move his hands and feet, and he will inevitably be a little distracted, but you are good, you have not even made any excessive jokes along the way, and sometimes I wonder if you don't like women...' The princess couldn't help but smile at me when she said this.
'This... How is this possible, of course I like women...'Well, can you imagine how embarrassed I was when I said that?' To this day, I feel a little ashamed when I think about that night.
'Oh, that's been a few?' At this moment the princess seemed to be in an interest, and sat up from the stone, with her feet crossed, her right hand on her cheek, and a pair of eyes looking at me meaningfully, and suddenly I felt a subtle change in the atmosphere around me.
'This... Don't you say okay?' By heart, my head was almost blank, so I didn't know what was coming out of my mouth.
"What are you afraid of, those two girls are asleep, I promise not to say it, this is a little secret between the two of us..."The princess deliberately lowered her voice when she said the last few words, revealing a seductive sexiness, and I felt my heart beat faster...
'No, not one...' I was so low that I couldn't even hear it...
'Wouldn't it?' The princess pretended to be surprised.
'Many people your age have children... You're actually...' The princess said and began to laugh, and at that moment I suddenly felt that the world was simply destroyed...
'I'm going to bed, call me when it's time for the shift.' I said coldly, then turned around and walked away. When the princess saw that I was really anxious, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed me.
'Don't, don't, don't, it's just a joke, why are you really angry, count me wrong, okay?' Will you come back and talk a little longer?' To say that the princess is really powerful, it is stern to make people feel sacrosanct, and it is sexy that people can't hold it at all, and once it is a soft begging, it makes people feel that it is difficult to refuse from the heart, so in the end I obediently stood back in place...
