By the time Hart woke up from his coma, it had been three days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Imperial Army had already held back the allied counterattack, and the troops that had suffered heavy losses in the battle were withdrawn to the safety of the rear to rest. Hart woke up on the way to retreat, lying on a stretcher with two sappers carrying him, Kaguya following closely beside the stretcher. Hart had just shown signs of waking up when Kaguya noticed it.

When Hart was completely freed from his coma and opened his eyes, Kaguya smiled kindly at Hart.

"Your Royal Highness, are you awake?"

Hart thought he would be ecstatic because of Kaguya's smile, but for some reason, he didn't feel happy at all, but a little anxious.

Do you mean I don't like Kaguya anymore?

When Hart was stunned, Kaguya took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Hart's forehead. If it had been before, Hart would have involuntarily grabbed Kaguya's wrist and confessed to her. But now, Hart was left with only a sense of agitation in his heart, and even an urge to push Kaguya away.

Wrong...... What's wrong......

Hart looked at Kaguya in a daze, not saying a word.

But what's wrong? Am I dreaming?

He carefully observed every detail of Kaguya's body, and gradually came to a clue.

Today's Kaguya seems to have been tailor-made for Hart. As a Taeyong person, she did not use the hairband commonly used by Taeyong girls to tie her hair up properly, but made a hairstyle like an Ira girl, and also used an Ira-style hairpin. There are some small decorations on her shrine maiden costume, which is also a habit that only Ira's girls have.

Hart's mother was an Ira, and under the influence of his mother, Hart preferred Ira's culture. His sisters, in order to please him, often dressed themselves in the style of Ira's women. But Kaguya never did that, and even though she was a shrine maiden, she still maintained the style of a Taerong woman, and her behavior did not change in any way.

Hart's heart tells him that he still loves Kaguya, and more than ever. Kaguya can make changes for him, which is a good thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but Hart doesn't think so.

Hart knows Kaguya well. She is gentle, very intelligent, but also very stubborn, as long as it is the right thing to change. Hart firmly believes that even if Kaguya likes him, she will not change her life habits for him, and will still be herself. Because this is Kaguya, a girl who will overflow with charm even if she doesn't make any changes.

Although unfounded, Hart is convinced that Kaguya blames himself for his injury. Kaguya felt that Hart had joined the army because of her, and now that Hart had been seriously injured in the battle and almost died, with Kaguya's character, she would definitely feel that she owed Hart something to make up for him.

That's why she forced herself to dress up as an Iraa girl to please Hart. If Hart confesses to Kaguya now, she will willingly marry Hart no matter what she really thinks. Because in her opinion, only by doing so can she make up for her mistakes.

Hart is the prince, although he temporarily gave up his status as a prince, but everyone still regards him as a prince. Kaguya was no exception, she had seen Hart that way since she first met him, and it hadn't changed since then.

Hart had seen Kaguya's mother, who was Kazuyanya. He had heard about the affair between his father and Yan Xinye, and for a while he mistakenly thought that Kaguya was his sister, but later he learned that his father and Yan Xinye's daughter died of illness, and Kaguya was the adopted child of Yan Xinye.

Xiaoxiao once told Hart not to make any requests to Kaguya, because the Byrens family is kind to the Heyan family, and they are very kind to Heyan Xinye. With the family style of the Kazuyan family, Kazuya will definitely try to let Kazuya know about these things, so that she can have a grateful heart for the Byron family. That way, no matter how rude Hart's request was, Kaguya would accept it.

As it turns out, Kaguya does often push herself for the Byrons family. But only in terms of feelings, Kaguya will not accept the hearts of the men of the Byron family casually. Hart felt that he could understand Kaguya's thoughts, Kaguya knew the men of the Byrons family, knew that what they wanted was her heart, and that it would make them unhappy if she gave her body to repay the favor.

In the past, Kaguya was repaying her mother and family, so she was able to be sensible enough. This time, it was she who owed Hart, and the guilt made her lose her mind and not be able to think as calmly as before. She was so bent on making up for Hart that she forgot that what Hart wanted was her heart, so she did something that made Hart feel anxious.

Thinking of this, the anxiety in Hart's heart disappeared, and was replaced by a deep helplessness. He raised his hand and motioned for the stretcher-carrying sapper to stop, then struggled to sit up. Kaguya hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by Hart. It took a lot of effort for him to sit up from the stretcher, and after taking a deep breath, he rolled over from the stretcher and nearly fell on his head.

Because of his injuries, even if he was healed, Hart would have to recuperate for a while. Fortunately, Hart's body was strong enough, and after he rolled over on the stretcher, he only felt dizzy and nauseous, his chest was tight, his limbs were weak, and he did not have more serious symptoms. He stood up with all his might, shook his body and took a step.

"Let's go—"

Before he could finish his sentence, his center of gravity bent and fell like a house without a load-bearing wall. Fortunately, when the stretcher stopped, Hart's sapper team all stopped. In fact, when Hart got up, the sappers wanted to step forward to help, but they didn't dare to step forward when they saw that Kaguya was pushed away by Hart. However, they kept a close eye on Hart's condition, and the moment Hart lost his center of gravity, three sappers rushed forward and held him in time.

“…… I'm fine. ”

Hart sat on the ground and rested for a while, and when he saw that his actions were affecting the movement of his troops, he asked the sappers to drag him aside so that the troops behind him could move on. The sapper team stayed with Hart, rested on the barren fields by the roadside, and when Hart had regained some strength, the squadron leader of the sapper unit returned to the road early, stopped a group of troops on the march, and explained the situation to them.

On the day Hart was wounded, the news spread throughout his corps, and the next day throughout the entire theater of operations, so that the theater fought valiantly from the general to the auxiliaries, and the situation was turned around in two days. After the failure of the counterattack, the coalition forces could only hype up the false news of Prince Hart's death in battle, hoping to stabilize the morale of the army. But after the news spread by the coalition forces, the morale of the coalition forces became even lower.

The prince of the Byron Empire can fight side by side with the soldiers, and he dies in battle, but the nobles on the side of the coalition only know that if they let the soldiers charge into battle and hide in a safe place to watch, the coalition soldiers will definitely feel unbalanced. Later, the coalition soldiers learned that Prince Hart had not been killed in battle, and some were happy about it, and then the morale of the coalition army became even lower.

All in all, Hart was now very famous in the Imperial Army, and as soon as the squadron leader of the engineer unit mentioned Hart's name, the stopped troops offered to make concessions. Not only did they allow the sapper unit to cut in line, but they also sent people to help them carry their equipment, which they did just so they could catch a glimpse of Hart.

Hart tried to walk on his own strength when he was on the march, and only called for help when he couldn't walk, but he still walked on two legs. He didn't look at Kaguya much along the way, and even gave her a feeling that she was redundant. In the evening, the troops camped in the field. While the soldiers were cooking, Hart found Kaguya, who was sitting alone in the clearing.

"Can you walk with me?"

Hart had been walking for six hours straight, and his face was terrible. Kaguya tried to persuade Hart to go back to rest, but Hart's resolute gaze made her swallow back the words that came to her lips and nodded obediently.

She walked forward with Hart in her arms, and neither of them said a word. It wasn't until they walked out of the camp that Hart said, I'm tired, let's rest for a while.

The two stopped in the clearing, Kaguya helped Hart to sit down, and then sat down next to Hart. The two were silent for nearly half a minute, and then Hart suddenly spoke.

"In the beginning, I joined the army because of you. At that time, my mind was full of you, and I was afraid that you would get hurt again, and I wanted to be there for you to protect you...... Hehe, but now it seems that even if I am by your side, I may not be able to protect you. If I hadn't been attacked by the enemy, I would never have known in my life that I was a weak person who couldn't even protect the woman I loved. ”

Kaguya wants to comfort Hart that he has protected himself. But she noticed Hart's wording, "at first"—that is, Hart had something to say later.

"On the day I went to sign up for the army, the people of the whole city of Byron put down their work and surrounded the recruiting office. They shouted 'Banzai' in front of me and persuaded me to go back to the Bluestone Palace. Many people filled out conscription forms on the spot, telling me that they would serve me for the Empire and that they wanted me not to join the army. I was so touched that I even forgot about you, and I just wanted to do my part for these people who supported me and loved me. ”

"At the time I thought I knew them well, but now it seems that I am still far from it. The battlefield is a bottomless pit that devours life, and people are alive one second and dead the next. If I hadn't been on the battlefield and participated in the battles myself, I would never have known how brutal the battlefield really was. My people, my people, are willing to go to such a dangerous place for my sake...... I don't know what words to use to describe how I feel right now, I just know that I should be strong and do my job, even if it means giving my life. ”

Hart turned his gaze to Kaguya, took her hand, and said earnestly.

"Kaguya, I love you, I really love you. But sorry, now I'm going to fight for my people. If I survive the war, I will come back and confess to you. But now, I have to part with you. Because as long as you are there, my eyes cannot leave you, and all I think about is you, so I cannot fight for the people. Hehe...... No way, I'm such a useless man. So Kaguya, let's leave it at that! You go back to your troops, I go back to mine, and we don't meet again until the war is over. ”

Hart didn't give Kaguya a chance to speak, and just stood up and walked as fast as he could in the direction of the camp. He hadn't taken a few steps before he was out of breath, but he knew he couldn't stop, because if he stopped, he wouldn't be able to take a step again.

On the other side, Kaguya's brain went blank. She felt hot in her cheeks and had trouble breathing, the first time she had seen this feeling in front of the opposite sex. She knew she was moved by Hart's words, but she only knew it intellectually. She was tempted by men for the first time, but she didn't know that love had quietly arrived.

"I ......"

What am I going to do?

Kaguya didn't know. It was just a distraction, and her body was already on her feet, and she made a sound towards Hart's back. Hart didn't stop, panic creeping through her heart. Her tongue moved irregularly in her mouth, and her vocal cords were unable to make a sound as if they were being strangled by a rope.

Hart's back walked farther and farther away, Kaguya clutching the fabric on his chest, breathing heavily. She wanted to shout something, but she didn't know what to shout. It wasn't until Hart fell to her knees that Hart let out a pitch-changing cry.

"I am your people!"

Oh my God, what am I talking about- Kaguya was tempted to dig a hole to get into, and she covered her cheeks with her hands, not daring to look in Hart's direction. But she couldn't help but want to look at Hart, so she quietly opened her fingers to peek into Hart's situation, only to find that Hart had run happily.

"Roar !!!"

He jumped suddenly, made a nervous sound, and punched hard into the sky. When he landed, he lost his center of gravity and almost fell, but he didn't care, and let out a silly laugh. He laughed and ran, and just disappeared from Kaguya's sight.

“…… Fool. ”

Kaguya bit her lower lip and her fingers clenched the corners of her skirt tightly.
