Chapter 22: Behind the Lie

"Oh!" The huge crystal mirror flashed twice, and finally dimmed, and the bearded young man on the other side of the mirror lost contact with the girl on the other side of the crystal, his body shook and almost fell. When he was able to stand and move, he couldn't help but nod his head in admiration, "What a Vanessa, worthy of being my sister!" ”

At this moment a message from the guards came from the door: "Sir Rowanne has arrived!" ”

"Come on in, my good sir." Coman covered the crystal with a blue velvet cloth and turned to meet Sir Rowanne, his right-hand man. "Is it done?"

Rowanne nodded: "It burns very naturally." ”

"What about the two phalanges?"

"Put it in and burn it with the queen - I cut her throat so that there was no trauma on the bones, and then put the two phalanges in their original places, and finally set them on fire."

"Good." Coman nodded with satisfaction, "Solanda has already joined Phoenix in Wolf's Tooth Castle, and I don't want to leave a former queen in the way." "In fact, I told Chloe the secret, how could I still keep her alive.

"General, have you found the person you are looking for?" Rowanne looked at the huge hedron mirror in the room, "Do you want me to get some more soul control spells?" ”

"Not yet." Coman waved his hand, "Long-distance soul control is too physically draining, I have to keep my spirit to rule Winterfell." "This soul control spell was originally intended to be used on Vanessa, but she has been under the protection of the soothsayer's crystal ball magic recently, and it was not until this morning that she had a chance to loosen up, and Corman took control of the soul of the prostitute Tina, intending to play a good show to cheat Vanessa's friendship, and then use a discord to drive Reina away, so that Vanessa can obediently return to Winterfell with Tina. Now it seems that the little girl is not so easy to deceive, and Koeman herself is entangled in political affairs, so she has no time to take care of anything else, so she can only let her be idle outside.

Come back soon, my little sister, we still have a lot of work to do.

I'm the dividing line*******

"It's a conspiracy," Vanessa said to Reyna after they had gone far away, "and she acted so much like that I almost believed it." ”

The silent friend was no longer silent this time: "No matter what conspiracy she had, she didn't succeed." The next time we meet a stranger, we need to be extra careful. Reina took the princess's hand and helped her across the huge roots of the oak trees, "Don't think about it now, we need to hurry." ”

Vanessa was reluctant to give up, and she carefully recalled all the details of Tina's appearance to death, without missing any words or eyes. She acted so well, without any flaws, and the mention of her sister was even more tear-jerking, if it weren't for the obviously oversized pit that betrayed her, she might have kept her by her side and taken her with her to Wangfeng Harbor - suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Vanessa's mind - Tina said that she lived on the edge of Crescent City, then the direction in which they appeared was Crescent City, and Reina was leading me in the direction they came.

In other words, I'm on my way back to Crescent City, and it's the opposite of Wangfeng Harbor, he's leading me to the city-state of Solanda!

For a moment, Vanessa thought she had gone mad. She looked at Reina's back, he was once her unwavering guardian in the path of death, the unhesitating executor of orders in the mage's chamber, and the guide who protected herself from the wind and rain on the way forward, he was an ally and almost became her friend, but it was undeniable that she knew nothing about him, except for the small details she received from the mage, everything about him was hidden in the mist.

From the moment we met, Reina's eyes were always cold and even hateful, I don't know where this hatred came from, but I should have realized that he couldn't have helped me for no reason, and when I killed Glaob, he didn't say anything, and almost immediately agreed to take me to Wangfeng Harbor. It's all strange that fear blinded me, and I didn't think that he could let go of his hatred so quickly and obediently follow me. What happened just now was even more suspicious, he was superb in archery, but he had a perfect choice to seal Tina's throat with an arrow, he was afraid, afraid that Tina would survive and expose the truth about how he led me to Crescent City.

He, like Tina, had ulterior motives for me. Vanessa concluded bitterly. She tried her best to control her voice calmly: "How long do we have to go?" ”

"It's coming."

"You said the same an hour ago." Vanessa clenched the dagger under her cloak, which had been pulled from Reina's waist to scare the two thugs, and she was glad she hadn't given it back to him. "Where are we going? Is it Wangfeng Harbor? ”

Reina didn't say a word and continued walking.

"Stop!" Vanessa commanded loudly, trying not to let her voice tremble, "Answer me!" ”

The archer stopped and turned around, his gaze falling on the dagger in the princess's hand, "Let's go to Crescent City." He said word for word.

Sure enough, he betrayed me. "Why did you take me to Crescent City, I said I was going to the Land of Wine Valley, and we had to go to Wangfeng Harbor."

Reina lowered his head, his beautiful blue eyes dimmed: "I'm sorry, I have my own reasons. ”

"yes, of course you have your own reasons." Vanessa sneered. A heartbreaking anger struck, and the princess burst out to tell the truth in her heart, "After all that happened, you finally chose to betray me and betray me to Solandar in exchange for your title and territory, didn't you?" She still couldn't control her feelings, her voice and body trembled slightly with anger, "Just when I thought you could trust and treat you as a friend, you chose to betray me, didn't you?" You, like those shameful men, put your honor and faith behind you, committing cruel atrocities against the weak, and not having the courage to resist the powerful, aren't you? You value wealth over promises, you use other people's lives to achieve your own desires, and I'm that pathetic victim, am I? The princess asked aloud.

In the moonlight, Vanessa's equally beautiful blue eyes were filled with tears, from the betrayal of a friend, which was the cruelest thing she had ever experienced
