。 Vanessa looked at her archer with admiration and stood on tiptoe to give him a rewarding kiss, "You're so smart!" That's exactly what we need! ”

However, Reina's reaction was unexpected, as he pushed Vanessa away with a blank face, refusing her hugs and kisses, as if she were something more deadly than the bottle of poison in his pocket.

"What's wrong?" Vanessa asked awkwardly.

"It's not me you're going to kiss, it's someone else." The archers turned and left.

"You know it all." Vanessa stood for a moment, then ran over to catch up with Reina, "Listen to me, I need someone to protect me while you're away, faithful, and long-lasting. ”

"So you traded yourself for a short-lived shield?" Reina suppressed his anger and roared in a low voice, "Is it so hard to admit to loving someone!" If you don't love him, you won't be with him at all! ”

The hand holding Reyna let go, and Vanessa lowered her head, "You put me to shame, Reina." She looked at his back and said slowly, "I really don't have the courage to admit it, because I'm afraid that if I say it, I'll lose you, or both of you, and leave me." She remembered the prophecy again, about her life, about her future husband. It's not you, it's not Brandt. Every time this hateful prophecy came to her mind, her heart ached uncontrollably. "I am too selfish to promise you more, yet I ask you to follow unconditionally." She raised her beautiful blue eyes and looked at Reina with a smile on her face, her expression warm and resolute, "If you think it's unfair, protect me for the sake of your people." ”

"I swore an oath," Reina calmed down and looked at the princess distressedly, "whatever you have done or will do, I will be faithful to you, and I will remain with you until the end of my life." He pointed to his heart, "You know why." I never felt that you were unfair to me, and I didn't dare to expect anything to come, what I wanted was for you to be honest with both of us and to yourself. In the eyes of outsiders, you are the princess of the country of midsummer, and we all know very well that the so-called princess is just an empty title that is stormy, and you still need to work hard to reach that biting throne, now you are not a queen who can do whatever she wants, you need to think clearly, it is to be a pure ** princess to be loved; Or will your love for Brant be able to overcome slander and rumors, and not be afraid of the praise and disapproval of the world, which will help you ascend to the throne. He grabbed Vanessa's shoulders and looked her in the eye seriously, "I* you, not because I'm jealous, but I want you to think it through." ”

"Thank you for your words." The princess looked back at the archer coldly, and spat out words that broke the hearts of both of them, "I think we both know that I am no longer pure, and thank you for reminding me once again where I lost it." She waved Reina's arm away and turned away, "You* I show my most vulnerable side in front of you, which makes it impossible for me to forgive you; But I'll listen to you and try not to get too close to Brandt. Now, leave me and prepare for Ivan's arrival, I don't want to owe you any more life. ”

Reina did not expect such a result from his words, he was silent for a moment, gave a military salute to the princess, and turned to leave.

Lose both. Vanessa finally couldn't bear to look at Reina's back, and tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks to the corners of her mouth. Maybe I shouldn't be so arrogant, maybe we shouldn't insist on our ridiculous self-esteem, we hold a sharp blade, stab each other in the name of love, and finally push each other away with all our might, watching our lover drift away until there is no trace.

"Report + Your Highness the Lord!" A scout roared on a warhorse, and when he finally stood firm to see Vanessa, he hesitated, "Your Highness, your eyes—"

Vanessa raised her hand to wipe away her tears and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Burning Nation's navy has landed at Cape Queen, and Prince Terrence has landed at Dragonspine Fort."
