Chapter 2: The Princess's War
"What are you kidding?" Listening to Catherine's words, this was my first reaction.
"I'm not kidding, Ho Anyi. I'm going to book a plane ticket to France tomorrow right now. β
"France?" Xiaohui wondered.
"Yes, and then turn back."
Xiaohui said: "As soon as you say it, I remember, the current Fuga Kingdom has refused visas for any country and is no longer open to tourists. β
"But I'm not a tourist, I'm their princess." Catherine smiled and said, "Trust me Xiaohui, I always have a way." β
Ah Po said: "But you have given up your status as a princess. β
"I regret it!"
Everyone could see that Ekaterina was desperate to go back this time, so I rubbed my head and asked, "Yezi, what's going on?" β
Ekaterina was a little excited: "Didn't you see it? Those bastards are stealing the resources of our country! At this rate, it will only take a few years or even less for our Fuga Kingdom to become poor and white, and the people in our country will not be able to produce, and I really don't know what they will be able to live on after losing these resources! β
Shi Pu said inexplicably: "But what does this have to do with you?" β
Once again, Catherine solemnly said: "I am their princess!" β
Wushuang said: "I knew it now, why did you give up your identity before?" β
"Because I didn't 'know what I knew now'!" Seeing that Catherine was now full of resentment, it seemed that there was a nameless fire burning, and she said word by word: "I did not expect my uncle to betray our country!" β
She paused and said abruptly: "Maybe I told you, my uncle still loves me very much since he was a child, but I don't know when - maybe the day he tasted the sweetness of power, he stopped loving me and began to treat me as a thorn in his side. β
Wushuang and Xiaohui raised their hands at the same time: "I! β
Catherine smiled slightly: "But I can't live a day like this, I am so happy that I began to wander around the world, under the banner of charity." But then when I actually went to Africa and went to the refugee camps in those war-torn places, I changed my mind, and I found that what I was doing in my boredom really helped them, I really saw children with bone foreskin, they were lying next to the corpses of their relatives waiting to die, the average weight was no more than a rope, and when the people at the international relief center told me that the money I raised a year could help millions of such children, I finally found my purpose in life......"
Xiaohui said: "So you started to collect money like crazy, almost unscrupulous, but in the end you only had a deposit of 1,000 US dollars." β
Catherine said: "My uncle's attitude towards me has also been changing throughout the whole process, for a while, he seemed to see my attitude from my behavior, and he was willing to let it go, and even sometimes called to ask me about my situation, but later, especially after my father was sick, his thoughts were different, probably because he was encouraged by someone, and was hostile to me, until my father could not handle government affairs, and the real assassination began!" β
I said, "So what exactly is your attitude?" β
"From the moment I decided to help the poor, I wasn't ready to step into the kingdom of Fuga."
I was surprised: "Then how do you explain your father?" β
Catherine smiled bitterly: "So far, I am most sorry for two people, one is my father, I wanted to publicly say that I would give up my status as the heir to the throne, but I was afraid that he would be sad." I was thinking, since my uncle is willing to be this king, I will give it to him, so I can only be sorry for my father, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for the country, to be honest, I have no interest in inheriting the throne, I will not be a good king. β
I said, "But your uncle is going to kill you!" β
Ekaterina smiled bitterly: "What does it matter? Maybe if I die, he will govern the country better with guilt. I'm all set. I had long thought that the perfect ending I had arranged for myself would be to die in an assassination attempt arranged by my uncle and fall on the podium, so that my death would help the most people. β
I shouted, "You're crazy! β
Catherine said gloomily: "He Anyi, do you remember when I told you that I was sorry in the orphanage? β
"Yes."
"One of the people I'm most sorry for is you, although you are not a professional bodyguard, but you have always been protecting me with your heart, but you don't know that many situations were originally caused by me, the more you treat me, the more despicable I feel, my choice may make you also accompany you to shed blood or even pay for your life, but I can't say ......"
I smiled and said, "It's okay Yezi, it's hard for me to die." "Now I finally understand why she said that sorry that day, and why she went to a place where she had to give a public speech in addition to the crazy accumulation of money, and she wanted to sacrifice herself as a sacrifice, so that her uncle could achieve the right result, and then transfer this guilt to the people. No wonder this woman is like a politician, pure as an angel, she lives hysterically, she despises everything, she does not let go of anyone who can become her enemy, she is cynical about it, she is always in torment, and it is the great powers, terrorism and human desires that have caused her all this today, and she is not afraid of death......
I said, "The question is, what can you do when you go back now?" β
Catherine said: "I will drag my uncle from the throne and drown those hateful terrorists in the urinal!" β
I laughed and said, "Just the 3,000 militia in your country? β
"There are a million people in our country!"
"But those 1 million people are your uncle's people."
"No, those 1 million people were betrayed by my uncle!"
Wang Shuisheng said: "You can think with your toes: as soon as you return to China, you will be killed by your uncle's people, just like me." β
Catherine said proudly: "As long as it is a person from the Fuga Kingdom, he will not kill their princess, and as long as he is in the country, my uncle will not dare to go too far." β
As soon as we persuaded her, Catherine just shook her head.
Shi Pu suddenly said: "Let her go, look at her, staying in China can only make a living by shooting beriberi advertisements, and she has to marry a director of a neighborhood committee!" β
Catherine smiled, "Don't say that, old man. β
"Hah! I didn't expect that there was an exiled Prince Sihanouk (King of Cambodia) by my side! β
I asked her, "Have you really thought about it?" β
Catherine nodded firmly.
Wushuang said: "I really don't understand, you are willing to put down the shelf to shoot advertisements, why do you have to go back now?" β
Catherine said: "It's still the same sentence: because I'm their princess." I used to think they would be better off if I died, but now it seems like I have to live! She smiled and said, "Also, I can't let the price of the products I endorse fall again and again!" β
Wushuang said: "You are not the sun, you don't have so much energy!" β
"We feel that the sun is important, and that's because we need it, and now, my people need me."
I looked around helplessly, the people of our time can be free from darkness and cold, and it is inevitable that they can't do without electricity, a little bit is magnetic, there is an electromagnetic field, I believe that the Yuan Demon must be by our side now, and the ears and eyes are clear, and listen greedily, this will be an excellent opportunity and bargaining chip for him.
I said, "Leaf, if you have to go, can you wait a while?" β
"Why?" She wondered.
"After this time, I will go back with you."
Xiaohui said: "And us." β
Catherine smiled: "That's not good, I can't let irrelevant people get involved, my uncle will definitely start with the people around me." β
I hurriedly said, "Can't you wait a few days?" β
Ekaterina looked into my eyes and said, "He Anyi, don't you understand, this is war!" β
After a moment of silence, Xiaohui said, "Let Ye Zi go." β
Ekaterina smiled slightly: "Thank you." β
"But there's another problemβ" Hui continued, "do you remember that Sheldon?" It's Uncle Yezi's guard. β
Wushuang said: "Remember, they are nearby, I have seen them." β
Xiaohui said: "Ye Zi is leaving, they will definitely notice it, and the news will be transmitted back to the Fuga Kingdom, not to mention, what I am most afraid of is that they will follow Ye Zi halfway!" β
Shi Pudao: "What are you going to do?" β
"It's none of your business!" Xiaohui glared at him, then looked at me and said, "The last time?" β
I glanced at her, immediately understood what she meant, and smiled, "Okay, one last time." β
Catherine was confused: "What are you talking about? β
I patted her hand and said, "It's nothing - we'll take you to the airport." β
Xiaohui said: "I'll figure it out." β
Wushuang said: "I'll go and book a ticket for Yezi." β
Ah Po said: "I ...... I'll go and find a way with Xiaohui. β
Wang Shuisheng: "Then I'll go and book tickets with Wushuang." β
Lao Shi was left alone to look at me and then at Catherine, and spread his hands and said, "Ha, I'll go and see if the light bulbs in the corridor on each floor are lit." β
In the blink of an eye, everyone went their separate ways, and the room was empty except for the two of us.
Ekaterina smiled slightly, slowly walked up to the balcony, I walked up to her, grabbed the railing and looked at the starry sky and said, "Can't you really wait?" β
Catherine shook her head with a smile, and then said, "But can you tell me why?" β
I stammered: "Because this period of time is not very convenient for us, especially for such a waste of energy as helping people to restore the country, it is good that you can wait, maybe there will be a turnaround, it is better than you leading the militia to fight guerrillas." β
Catherine didn't speak, leaned lightly on my shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you, He Anyi, I don't know why, I always feel that you have done much more for me than it seems." β
"yes, I helped you stop the bleeding."
Ekaterina's face turned red, she shook her head with a light smile, and said with a smile: "This time here is my happiest time. β
I rolled my eyes and said, "Generally, the princess who wanders the rivers and lakes, Gege, or something, will say this to those wild boys when they return to the court. β
As I had said a word, Catherine suddenly stopped moving, and when I turned my head, I saw large tears flowing down her face, and the number was terrifying, as if the dam had been broken, and her black grape-like eyes were foggy, and I was surprised: "Leaves? Am I kidding? β
Catherine hugged me so hard that I could barely breathe, and she threw her head into my arms and wept like a small engine, and in a moment my clothes were wet.
I was speechless and could only pat her on the back.
"I'm so tired, He Anyi!" During the whole process, Catherine only said one sentence, and cried for ten minutes, and then she broke out of my arms, wiped away her tears with her arms like a stubborn child, and smiled at the beginning of the rain: "This is the last time, and from now on, I will never cry again!" β
