Chapter 444: Epilogue
She was so charming today, her eyes were misty, her brown-red hair was unkempt and beautiful, she raised her head, and a golden and green brocade robe reflected the flickering candlelight, "If I can't even tie my husband, then what charm is there?" ”
"I have no doubt about that," said Queen Camilla, with a mocking smile on her face, like a tiny chrysanthemum, "it is precisely because of your charm that the men of the Burning Flame Kingdom willingly accept your rule. ”
Just laugh as much as you want, Vanessa thought to herself, and when Muton offers to come back to the Burning Nation with me tomorrow, you won't be able to laugh anymore.
At the end of the feast, Vanessa was carried back to their cave palace by Muton. She remembered the last time she was pulled into the wedding room by Terrence.
This time, of course, will be different.
Vanessa looked at the mountain dwarf prince in front of him, he had half-human blood, a heroic figure and a loyal and reliable face, he was a personal friend with him, maybe he still had a little infatuation with him, but it didn't matter, the most important thing was that his self-sacrifice at the critical moment moved him and helped him successfully save his own mother from Terrence.
But soon, he's going to hate me. That little bit of gratitude will soon turn to anger and hatred under my onslaught, and he will hate me as much as he hates Terrence!
The conjugal ceremony was in order, and Muton showed respect for Vanessa without losing his manly demeanor, which was much better than the wedding night that Terrence gave her. Although both men knew that it was only a political marriage, at least it was not so pedantic that it would not take pleasure in it, and Morton was so pleased with Vanessa that his hand never left the Queen's waist unless he stopped to rest.
"I've wanted to tell you for a long time that what you do always surprises people." Muton kissed Vanessa's hair lightly, "I heard about your battle with the elites of the Flame Nation in Neverwinter, that battle has been told by storytellers, and they say that you are a goddess with the wings of a holy angel, and you took down the main force of Tarence with almost no sword soldiers......"
Vanessa smiled, "That battle was wonderful, but there's something more to focus on." Her smile gradually cooled, "Tomorrow, let's go back to the Burning Nation together, there is someone waiting for you." ”
Muton held back, and the smile on his face withered as if it had been frozen by the cold wind, "You imprisoned my mother? ”
Vanessa nodded. In front of him, there was no point in denying or quibbling, "If I or any of you don't go back, Xue Lanwei will kill her." ”
"Why?" Vanessa tried not to look at the disappointment, heartache, anger, and compassion that burst out of Muton's eyes at the same time, "Why are you all so mean?!" Do you think you can control me this way? Last time, the example of Terrence was there, and I never gave in; This time you are going to repeat the mistakes of the past, do you think that if you imprison my mother, I will be at your mercy, you be careful that the first thing I will do after I ascend the throne is to raise an army to attack your Sleeping Dragon City! ”
"Someday, you'll understand me." Vanessa said calmly, "As you say, what I do always surprises people. And my biggest goal is not a country of mountains and mountains, nor is it the position of the queen of fire, I hope that the world will be in harmony, I want the common people to calm the war, prosper the times, and realize the unification of Olopus. I don't expect you to understand me now, I only know that extraordinary things require extraordinary means, and I have done my best to make your mother live freely and without feeling that she is under house arrest; You will also accompany me in the country of scorching fire, and I will elevate your title and give you a fief, and as long as the country of mountains belongs to my rule, we will be safe for the rest of our lives. ”

As the team set out on the way back, the fog in the air was gradually evaporating by the rising sun, and the grass left over by the horses was covered with dew, as if a god had happened to pass by and sprinkled a bag of diamonds. Muton's guards followed him closely, and the people of each tribe followed their own leader. In the dawn light, the entire army was like a slowly blooming steel rose, its spikes glittering.
The soft sound in the forest lingers in the ears.
The valley floor stream rushes through the slate riverbed, and the moonlight sparkles on the water. Under the trees, the horses neighed softly, stretching out their hooves to tear open the soft ground covered with fallen leaves. People lowered their voices and nervously joked. Vanessa heard the faint sounds of spears clashing and chain mail sliding from time to time, but even those sounds were hazy and indistinct.
I did it. The queen thought.
recovered the Land of Midsummer, repelled the invasion of the Flame Country, and used the power of Solandar to sweep away the Northern Sand Rider Country, causing one of them to collapse; On the way back to sea, he formed a deep friendship with the prince of the ice marsh, so that the land of the ice marsh voluntarily came to surrender; His true love, Brant not only managed Neverwinter in his place, but also returned to the land of Wine Valley with his own help to ascend to the throne, although he never agreed with his own methods; Now, the most difficult bone to gnaw in the six kingdoms, the country of the mountains has also married and surrendered to him, Olopus, you are finally going to stop the sword soldiers for the time being!
Moorton, the Prince of the Mountains, the Queen's new husband, rode a dark horse alongside Vanessa, with a solemn and unsmiling expression.
He will understand me.
He, and Brandt, and Reina, they're all going to understand me.
I have grown from a timid girl who was pushed off the tower by my sister to the king of the world today, and there is no room for regret in this long page of life.
The torrent of history has run through hundreds of years and millennia, and isn't a person's short life just a few hasty summers and a few small winters? We look up at the mountains and call them eternal, because they seem so, but in the course of time, the mountains rise and fall, the rivers change their course, the stars fall from the sky, and the city is sunk into the ocean. If we are correct, even the gods are in the cycle of life and death. The vicissitudes of life, the changes in the world, my life, to be able to reach the height of that throne, is already at the top.
I hope that posterity will see the merit of unifying Europes, and not the deceit of all-encompassing excesses; It is my ambition to help the needy, not my clever words.
Looking at the sleeping dragon city that was already in sight, Vanessa was satisfied.
This is my home, my reign will begin in this city, and I will start my new story and journey here!
Let's go!
