Jane kept smiling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Her beautiful silver eyes gazed tenderly at the night moon until she used a silver fork to put the pastry into her mouth.
It was a soft cake with a double layer of thin quiche, drizzled with double layers of cream, and fresh fruit.
The cream and fruit fragments are decorated into beautiful shapes, showing the delicate mind of the maker.
"Is it delicious?" She asked softly.
The sweet aroma of cream and pulp reaches the brain through the nose and makes you feel good.
ββ¦β¦ Very tasty. The Lord of the Dead replied honestly.
"Huh, really?"
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Yuan gently stroked her chest and smiled again, "Thank you for liking the food I cooked." β
She did it herself.
"What are you looking for me for?"
"Oops, oops...... I'm so sorry to be watching you eat...... I've loved seeing beautiful things since I was a kid......"
"Thank you......"
There's so little tension.
"Speaking of which, my true identity is an undead, and so is the alfalfa you know."
Surprise attack.
ββ¦β¦ Why tell me? β
The undead leader was indeed surprised.
"Well, don't you believe it? Or is it surprising that I would say this? Capturing the subtle changes in the other party's expression, Jane smiled again: "It was Alfalfa who said that she wanted me to help her tell you everything about her." She said she really wanted to tell you, but she didn't know how to express it to you. β
Seeing that "Wende" reacted flatly, she smiled again: "You don't seem to be surprised......
"Because if you are really the undead, you are also very beautiful undead." "Wende" smiled and complimented.
"Huh. That's it, but I can't care about it...... One day, I, Alfalfa, and a few companions were resurrected by a noble man. Jian Xiaowei said, "So, we all followed her." But one day, one of my companions suddenly said that we should leave the benefactor. Because she is negative, dark, and evil. We have no choice but to stay with her when we are still undead, but since we have been born again, we should return to the light. β
"And You ...... Results"
"That's not the reason...... We all knew in our hearts that it was just an excuse, an excuse for him to convince himself to get out of there. β
After a pause, she added: "I'm not sure what other people think, but I actually think it's the same everywhere." The noble man's side is actually a very good place. It feels like home, life is peaceful, and you can do what you like......"
Jane took a new white porcelain cup: "Tea?" β
"Okay, thanks."
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess gently filled the teacup with black tea, and the aroma of black tea mixed with the white mist rose, and it smelled very good.
"It seems to me that the only one who is enthusiastic about the world outside Castle Black is that companion, who would love to regain the power that he has not fully enjoyed before."
"What about you? Why did it come out too? β
"Me...... Seeing them come out, I also want to see what I remember...... For example, this palace. In the past, these palaces belonged to me, but at that time I didn't know how to cherish them. Hehe. β
Jane's delicate facial features still made up that gentle smile, but at this time, Yeyue suddenly read a trace of loneliness from it.
"You used to be the princess here? I'm so honored. Nightmoon appropriately expressed surprise and changed the subject that shouldn't weigh Jane's upset, "How did you get in?" β
It's a bit strange to casually sneak into the palace, after all, it's almost the most heavily guarded place in the world.
"Ah, because I'm a pure-blooded royalty, it's easy to pass the blood test magic that can't be faked at all. So, I just need to find a royal impostor. β
Jane seemed to be saying something interesting, and smiled again: "This was originally very difficult, after all, there are really few members of the royal family. But it just so happened that I ran into one. β
ββββββββββββββββββ
She was referring to John. Prince Wright's daughter, whose name is also Jane. Wright.
This is a common naming method in the Empire, and unlike the nomenclature culture of the Night Moon's time, parents in the Holy Light Empire usually give their children the names of great people in history.
Presumably, Prince John Wright also wanted his daughter to be like Jane in history. Princess Wright is as holy and brave as she is.
John. Prince Wright, because his fief was in the Forest of the Night God of the former Black Elf Empire, he was assassinated by the Black Elf Killer.
He is arguably one of the most unlucky princes in the history of the Empire.
One day five years ago, a large number of Black Elf Assassins appeared in the Forest of the Night God, which had been confirmed to have cleared the Black Elves.
They infiltrated the poorly defended Prince's mansion with ease.
By the time the army received the information and arrived, there was no one alive in the palace.
And this Jane. The daughter of Wright also disappeared on that day.
It is rumored that the killers who caused the tragedy are still lurking in the Forest of the Night God and have not been exterminated.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
"So you're Prince Jane now."
Although the process of infiltrating the palace should not be as frivolous as Jane said, but Yeyue didn't want to ask deeply, and took the lead in changing the topic.
"Yes, Your Majesty has promised me to inherit the title of my 'father'. And it's good that 'my' fief contains not only human-hating black elves, but also rampaging plants that have gone out of control, so I have temporarily stayed here on the grounds of a sinister environment, this nostalgic palace. β
"Now, not only can I re-cultivate my relationship with my family......" Jane pointed to the porcelain plate and porcelain pot in front of me for snacks and black tea, "I can also use the palace kitchen utensils and ingredients at will." β
"Your craftsmanship is indeed superb."
"Thank you."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Probably stay here for a while, reminisce about the old days, and then go to inherit Little John's fiefdom and find someone to marry......"
"Marry?"
Yeyue was really surprised this time.
"Hmm. When I was a child, I was a devout Illuminati and believed in the texts of the Church of Light. I have abandoned everything to serve God......" Speaking of this, Jane's smile seemed to stiffen slightly: "I am an ascetic, first I made a vow of poverty, keeping only the minimum needs of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and then I also made a vow of chastity and decided not to marry for the rest of my life......"
"It's stupid to think about it now, I've turned down a lot of good men......"
Yeyue was surprised, and looking at the other party's current appearance as a gentle sister, it was really hard to imagine that she would be 'cold' before.
However, God did not mean to save me at all, and he allowed me to live as an undead in the land of the dead for a hundred years...... Since then, 'living for myself' has probably become my new behe/she is. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like it's too late. β
Jane's expression softened again: "This time I'm going to experience something I haven't experienced before." Well...... For example, eat delicious food, collect beautiful accessories, find a man to fall in love, have a few children or something......"
Jane's words came to an end.
The two of them were relatively speechless while holding steaming black tea.
After a while, Jane was already looking to herself to admire the pleasant colors of the garden with a soft expression full of nostalgia.
At the same time, she asked in a soft voice, as if inadvertently, "So, after knowing this, what are you going to do?" β
Yeyue felt that although Jane's attitude had always been soft, this sentence was already a threat to her, and the subtext was: "Will you betray us?" β
If Yeyue is really just the level of "Wende" she shows, with Jane's strength, she can be killed in a blink of an eye.
The problem is that Yeyue's real identity is the more powerful Undead Queen, so she thinks the current situation is interesting, and instead teases back: "I don't have any special plans, what if I accidentally leak these things?" β
"You won't. Since it is the one who believes in alfalfa, I also believe. β
Jane's smile was still gentle and beautiful, and it seemed so harmless, but her tone changed slightly, and she said, "But if you really say it, although no one will believe you even if you say it, I will still kill you." And when the time comes, Sativa will go after you because they feel guilty about me, right? After all, I told my secret because of her. She's the strangest and most powerful girl I've ever seen......"
Jane seemed to suddenly think of the leader Yeyue, paused, and continued, "...... She'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth. β
The undead leader, who has already realized this, thinks so.
ββββββββββββββββββ
"Do you have any specific criteria for choosing a mate?"
"Huh?" This sentence seemed to spoil the solemn atmosphere just now, and Jane was stunned.
She said after a while, "...... Standard...... Didn't think about it...... Probably...... Just love me, right? β
"No kidding...... Ye Yue suddenly approached her and said, "A person who is as beautiful as you are, it is a waste to be a mortal...... Huge waste. β
Jane subconsciously ducked back and said, "Will it?" β
Blinking those beautiful silver eyes, she smiled again, "Thank you, but I really want to experience it." Because the most unwilling thing I was to die was probably not getting married and having children......"
It was hard to imagine that such words actually came from the mouth of a beautiful woman like a goddess, Yeyue thought for a moment and asked again, "Is there a specific goal?" β
"Haven't started looking for ...... yet"
"Great."
Yeyue made a look of relief,
"Anyway, there are no specific standards, so I have a chance, right?"
"Huh?"
"How about marrying me instead of cheapening someone else?"
"Uh......" The silver-haired beauty looked a little flustered: "Don't you care that I'm a person who has come back from the dead?" β
"Who cares about that? You are rich, you have status, and most importantly, you are beautiful. And I happen to be a person who loves beautiful things just like you. β
Night Moon is naturally not interested in love, and Jane doesn't seem to be someone who can be won so easily.
When she said this, she first tried to imprint her fake identity in the other party's mind, and tried to leave the bond first.
This is good for the future, so that this powerful woman willingly continues to do things for herself.
Anyway, the secret has been shared, so it is possible to go further, maybe this former undead who is more eager to fall in love, get married, and have children will really fall in love with him.
Jane thought for a moment, looking very serious.
Then, she looked up and smiled, "Okay." β
ββ¦β¦β
It's too happy to agree.
So the undead leader was stunned.
And Jane suddenly came up.
It's like kissing.
The other party's beauty made her unconsciously avoid dodging moves, but she felt that Jane should not enter the role of girlfriend so quickly.
Sure enough, she came to a stop in front of Yeyue.
"Pastry crumbs stuck to the corners of ...... mouth"
She stretched out her slender white fingers and picked up the crumbs and put them in her mouth, "I knew I would have made more, and I had eaten them all...... Hehe...... Ah, yes......"
"What?"
It's been a long time since anyone has done such an intimate act to her, and Yeyue feels that she is really a little excited.
"I'm a little sorry for the alfalfa, she seems to like you too."
"Really? I didn't dare to think so, because she was a very peculiar person, unpredictable. β
"I think that's the case, yes."
Jane's face flushed slightly, beautiful.
She looked up at the sky, and continued, "At least I should appreciate you, otherwise why would she want me to tell you these things...... And Alfalfa is probably the most indifferent of us in our previous life, originally she would not have left Castle Black. Later, I changed my mind because I met you, and I escaped in order to save you. β
"That's right...... Well, if you're gone, the undead of Castle Black will feel lonely, right? β
"Huh. Chiefs, they're not as fragile as we are. Although the princes of the castle are so gentle and lovely. β
Jane maintained a quiet expression and gentle tone throughout, and it was really an outlier when the undead looked like Jane.
"May I ask you why you said yes? As long as you can get married and have children, doesn't it matter who you are? β
"Oops...... What are you talking about? Of course, because I have confessed my biggest secret to you, you are now the perfect person for me. β
As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed deeply to Yeyue, saying, "Then, Mr. FiancΓ©, I will ask you for more advice in the future." β
Yeyue touched her chest with her right hand and bowed in return.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Now that it has been confirmed that these undead bosses really just came out to relive their lives because of their obsession before death, and they didn't look like they were sorry for themselves, Yeyue also felt a lot more comfortable.
In the days that followed, the undead leader continued to soak in the library and live a life of reading and practicing, only occasionally going to drink tea with Jane.
Before you know it, another month has passed.
Yeyue was a little ready to go home, but she was a little reluctant to keep the library and the opportunity to visit other cities.
But you always have to go back and set things up first.
Although she was only doing it by mistake, she was already dozens of times more efficient than the most powerful spies under her command.
The intelligence station in the Dead Wastes only touches the borders of the Empire, and at most it is a tavern or inn run by a high-level undead who can disguise themselves as humans, and the level of people they can reach is not high.
Therefore, the information they obtained was naturally inferior to that of this undead leader who had already entered the dual center of the royal family and the church at the same time, and he had no grasp of the situation at the top of the empire.
-- The Holy Light Empire, the strongest power in the known world that is ostensibly calm, is actually undercurrent, and perhaps stirring up trouble in some way will lead to a real turmoil.
That's faster than the Dead Wilds think tank could predict the fastest.
"Hurry up and make some preparations, maybe you can take advantage of it when the time comes."
That's what the undead leader intended.
Time is not of the essence, though.
So the undead leader intends to do some more learning.
