"I believe her." After a long time, Donald's words shattered the terrible silence in the cabin. His eyes were like torches, and he didn't stop staring at Solanda from the very beginning when he saw her appear, "I believe she is no longer the same as before." Besides, we have no other choice," he said, turning to the Knights, "We are all sworn knights, and we have an obligation to protect the weak, and we must return to Crescent City to settle this matter." ”

"Thank you." Vanessa nodded at Sir in thanks, her heart filled with gratitude.

"Don't thank me, my decision has nothing to do with your touching speech just now." Donald said lightly, "I don't know what you did to get the captain to agree to you to divert to Crescent City, we were supposed to land on Cape Queen, and return to Winter City by land, but for the sake of the women and children in Crescent City, we are willing to delay for a few days before returning home." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I know, but thank you for believing in my confession." Vanessa made her way through the crowd and down deeper into the bilge, Matt following closely behind.

"Why don't you tell them that you're Princess Vanessa?" Matt asked when there was no one around.

"What do you take to make them believe?" Vanessa asked with a wry smile, unslashing her sword and chain mail at the same time, the cabin was so hot and stuffy that she couldn't bear the weight anymore, and she urgently needed to unload all the burdens, "Point to the elephant and say it's an ant?" The princess shook her head, "Besides, they don't have a better impression of me than Solanda, so let me continue to lead this order in the place of your sweetheart, after all—" Vanessa suddenly blinked mischievously, "I don't dare to compliment her appearance, but it's still quite bluffing." "I'll naturally reveal my identity when I have to, but not now.

"The ...... they said," Matt sat down on a dry straw bunk, it seemed that the ship often carried stowaways, and the straw bunks were all ready-made, "Is it true about Solanda?" ”

"I don't know." Vanessa sat down opposite the prince, the hay was flattened by the bodies of countless passers-by, but the water was still there, this was the closest place to the sea, and most of the good wine in the cabin was carried through here, the turf preceded the sailors to enjoy the wine, but like humans, they drank the wine, but the smell of sour and rancid smell was sour, Vanessa was used to any smell of the journey, and sat down on the wet grass without frowning. "But she did do something bad and annoyed these knights."

"She turned her back on them." Matt whispered, burying his head in his knees, Vanessa couldn't see his expression, but could tell the disappointment in his voice.

Vanessa knocked on the lid of a barrel of wine, and poked her upper body into the barrel, which was hollowed out of the logs that the two of them embraced, and the wine inside came from the distant legendary continent, and the princess was so choked by the aroma of the wine that she sneezed in the barrel, and then she put her mouth close to the surface of the wine and took a sip carefully, "It tastes good." She cried out in the barrel with an urn. To be exact, it is a bit like the rice wine of Da Zhou, but the wine is more vigorous, probably because the time is still short. No ship has a permanent cabin at sea, and sometimes the wine changes more frequently than sailors.

"You heard it, they said she abandoned the soldiers of the Land of Midsummer and threw herself into the camp of the Blood Wolf Guard." Matt refused to spare himself, stubbornly continuing, "Sorenda never mentioned that she had a history like this. ”

"Do you think we're both as bad now?" Vanessa smiled.

Matt glared at the princess, "I can't tell the difference now, maybe you're the same person as Ben." ”

"Oh!" Vanessa feigned anguish, "What a desperate conclusion. I'd rather drown myself in this wine than become like Solander. ”

"You killed Simon," Matt looked at Vanessa angrily, then lost the source of his anger again, "Sorenda abandoned her comrades. You're all the same, all the same. ”

Vanessa drank her heart's content, stumbled off the barrel, and sat down next to the prince, "No, we're not the same. She wiped the liquor from the corner of her mouth with her fingers, then put her fingers in her mouth and sucked, "Solanda lives for revenge, and I'm here to restore my country." We choose different directions, and the paths we take are very different, but in the end we will all meet at that set goal, whether we go in a carriage or ride a happie bird, it doesn't matter who arrives first and who is late, the game will only start when everyone is together, and the one who survives lasts is the real winner. The princess patted Matt on the shoulder, "So you always advise me to think of sisterhood, which is as boring and ridiculous to me as watching a man pretend to be a woman." I'm sure if you were to tell her to be merciful to my men if you were to replace it with the real Sorenda, she would laugh at your naivety to your face and take your words like shit. ”

"I don't understand, I don't have siblings, so I can't think of any reason to kill each other." Matt stared at Vanessa with difficulty and pain.

"Power." Vanessa nodded mechanically, "The root of all evil comes from man's power over power. ”

"Are you the same? You said you were here to restore the country. ”

Vanessa suddenly smiled, she looked at the prince of the ice marsh, "What, you're starting to be interested in me?" ”

"In the beginning, I always imagined you as Sorenda," Matt avoided the princess's gaze, "until I became more and more unsure." Because every time I look at you, I can always see the other person under the surface through your eyes. His lips trembled, indicating that there was a fierce conflict in his heart, "which made me feel annoyed and angry." ”

"Why?"

"Because the man I saw was kinder and wiser than Solanda." Matt looked into Vanessa's eyes, and her serious appearance made her dare not laugh. "She is resolute and tenacious, she is decisive when decisive, and the most important thing is that she is not brave and ruthless, she can be good and think about the overall situation. And," Matt turned his face away, not looking directly at Vanessa, but said quietly, "In Rhino Horn Village, you didn't leave me behind, nor did you put on the Forbidden Demon Stone to change your identity, you kept your faith." ”

"I'm throwing up." Vanessa blushed, "I'm afraid your next sentence will be 'I love you'." The princess burst out laughing, "I am about to be made a saint by you, my dear prince, and I am sure that God will not approve of your perspective." After the wild laughter subsided, Vanessa said indifferently, "But you're right, I'm indeed a little bit higher than Solanda's original intention. She nibbled on her fingertips, the smell of the liquor remaining, "Her revenge has upset half of Europs, and my goal is to mess up the world!" ”
