“…… They were about to cut my doppelganger when the silver-haired knight appeared and fought them," Andy finally got back to business from the rambling narrative, "He's so good that he knocked down all the villains, but I still didn't dare to come out, I used my doppelganger to watch and listen, and I hid myself in the grass." ”

"So he's okay?"

Andy shook his head, "I don't know, because Horst's backup arrived, and there were more people than before, and the silver-haired knight asked me to come to you, and then he turned around and kicked their ass again," he spat on the ground and said disdainfully, "They're really cowardly, more than a dozen people are on it together." ”

This fool who has been instilled with chivalry and is unconscious. Vanessa was spoiled. He didn't even have to think about it, what if it was a trap, what if the man behind Horst really wanted the life of the prince of the wine valley?

Vanessa couldn't help but think of Reina, oh my archer, where are you now? If you're here, you won't leave me half a step, and I won't have to bother rescuing you.

But Brant is different, he has his own opinions, he and I are like two sides of a leaf, he is bright and warm, he meets challenges with an upward attitude, there is no darkness in his heart, no greed, only justice and kindness; I, on the other hand, am the one who is always facing downward, and I only do what I think is right, regardless of the cost.

Since we are two sides of the same leaf, we have not abandoned him. Brant must be found as best he can, and it seems that it is only safer when the two of us are together.

"But you're not cowardly, are you?" Vanessa looked down at Andy, "You're a brave man, you wouldn't see the people who helped you in the past, would you?" ”

Andy stepped back vigilantly, as if aware of Vanessa's harsh plea, "But I'm only eleven years old, and I won't fight." ”

"You don't need to fight," Vanessa tried to smile comfortingly, "you just need to hide behind the doppelganger and help me lure those mercenaries out." ”

"No, no, no," Andy's head shook like an iron rooster blown by the wind on the roof of a church, "I'm afraid, they're going to kill me." ”

"Your willingness to admit that you are afraid shows that you are brave and brave people know how to overcome their fears." Vanessa forced her eyes into the boy's eyes, encouraging him and spurring him on, trying to arouse his fighting spirit as a little man, "My lord, everyone in the castle where you lived called you that, you were a very important person from the moment you were born, but someone didn't want you to live, and killed your horseman, don't you want to know who he is?" Don't you want to avenge that poor friend? ”

"I don't want to." The boy's freckled cheeks swayed, and Vanessa felt a wave of vertigo.

"Then please let me tell you a story." Vanessa straightened up and looked at Andy coldly, the boy was clearly more interested in the story. "Once upon a time there was a princess, noble as the stars in the sky, and she had a jealous sister who always tried to murder her when she was not looking. One day, the princess's sister tricked her into going up to the tower and brutally pushed her down. Magical magic saved her life from dying. When the princess stands in front of the person who plots against her again, guess what? ”

"What's wrong?" Andy asked eagerly. Alas, looking at his expression, Vanessa thought in frustration that he was just a child.

The princess began to fight back, "I'm lying to this child, Vanessa corrected in her heart, I'm duckweed, wandering, I've done nothing, and I'm cheating on a child here." "The princess's anger ignited her determination for revenge, and she raised an army to fight against her sister, and drove her out of the palace to a barren land, where she was banished forever." That's what I want, but I don't know when it will happen.

"Ah, I wish I had that fire."

Vanessa was completely lax, and Andy didn't understand the terrible analogy at all.

"Revenge is the purpose of this story." Vanessa began to look for a target in the house, she tore off a rag from Andy's body and wrapped it around the corner of her forehead, "I know you're scared, but that's not the point, the point is that the princess is as old as you, you're a man, and you won't be more scared than her." ”

"But I'm still scared." The boy looked at Vanessa pitifully. "What are you going to do?"

Vanessa gave up persuasion education, skipped the bitter drama and went straight to the point, "I'm going to save my friend." Do you know why the princess in the story just resisted? Because if she doesn't resist, she'll die. No one in this world will sympathize with you or pity you, and you can only rely on your own strength to survive. The princess took off her long dress, took a pair of large scissors and cut it diagonally, changed the long skirt into a short oblique skirt, and then scratched her hair with her hands to make it look messy, and with the bandage on her forehead, she now lived like a runaway girl.

"I, I don't want to run away anymore, I'm tired—"

"Who lives without getting tired!" Vanessa was fed up with the boy's depressed attitude and yelled, "You selfish little imp, what do you have left in your blood besides inheriting the surname Freeman!" You watched your friend die for you, but you won't even say his name while mourning him! Horse maid, horse maid, to you he is just a horse maid, a position, a toy! I'm going to save my friend, and he's saved your life, and his name is Brandt, Righteous Brandt! ”

Andy was stunned by Vanessa's sudden outburst and watched in amazement as the princess slammed the door and disappeared into the dark hallway
