。 "Then let me go with you! Let me keep you safe! Reyna eventually relented.

"This is natural." Vanessa's words quieted the archer slightly, "You, and my archmage. She looked at Mees, "You're going to be with me at all times." And Neverwinter, I'll hand it over—" As he spoke, there was a stir outside the Longbow Hall, and two ragged men walked in with each other's arms, it was Brant and Sir Donald. "Just in time," Vanessa clapped her hands, "Winterfall Acting Lord Brant?" Hagen. It seems that Terrence did not break his promise, and he released Brant and Donald somewhere, but they finally returned safely and in good spirits.

"I don't agree." Bran turned his face and tore off the few strands of shirt cloth hanging from his body, "I am the prince of the country of Wine Valley. Not accepting your appointment. He glanced at Reina, with obvious jealousy in his eyes.

"It's not an appointment," Vanessa said softly, "it's a commission. It is the most important commission a friend can make to you before leaving. She entrusted everything she had to you, and this is exactly what you swore to her, protection and love, have you forgotten it? ”

"I haven't forgotten—" Brandt was about to continue, but was interrupted by the princess.

"Then put it into action!" Vanessa glared at him with blazing eyes, "I need you to sit in Neverwinter and watch over the one I love, and I want you to be impartial, no more, no less, and do what I need you to do." Only when the country of midsummer is rich and prosperous, will I have the status, the freedom and peace I want in the country of scorching fire. And, I promise you, in the near future, I will return, when I will no longer be the guardian of a nation, but the queen of Olops! Vanessa felt the fire of kings burning in her breasts, and her time was coming!

The people were excited again, but they were still skeptical of Vanessa's words, not understanding where her confidence came from. It was useless to talk to them, Vanessa quickly left the Longbow Hall, she still had important matters to solve, because she knew that Brant must have a lot to say, and they would try to convince the other party, it would be very tricky.

"So, you're betting all your bets on a ridiculous prophecy?" Brant pounded the table with tears and laughter. The only thing in the princess's room was this one table, on which there was still the quill and parchment that Koman had used.

"That's not just a prophecy." Vanessa tries to explain to the prince, "It reveals almost all of Oropus's future movements. I've thought about getting rid of it, I've thought about staying away from it, I've thought about staying with you, but there's always an invisible hand in the dark that is leading me to this wheel of fate," she looked into Brandt's eyes sadly, "Every step I take gets closer and closer to that predetermined ending, and that ending means our separation." ”

"What kind of reason is this to break up?" Brandt was furious, "Less than three days after I left, you got together with Reina, and this time it's even more outrageous, you're going to marry that hypocrite of Terrence and follow the prophecy of fate!" He grabbed Vanessa's arm, "Why, even if I can't get you, why don't you let me accompany you to the Burning Country, why Reina?" ”

"Because he doesn't have the power to rule the land of Midsummer." Vanessa replied calmly, "And with him by my side, I can maximize my protection expertise." She grabbed Brant's arm with her backhand and said seriously, "I didn't plan to break up with you." The prophecy says that Terrence will die when he unites Olops, and I will soon be back with you. ”

"I don't know if I should take your word for it." The prince shook off Vanessa's hand and walked to the window to look at the banner waving in the wind on the castle tower, "Perhaps, you and Reina said the same thing. ”
