005 Persecution
At night, Prince Opal never returned, and Eligela sat in front of the window, looking down through the heavy curtains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She knew that Prince Opal had not rested for two days and two nights, and after tonight, if the beast had not been caught, then Prince Opal would have lost faith in his people. This is a great shame for a noble prince, and when the time comes, no matter what demands are made, he will have no reason to refute them.
The sky had begun to turn white, and the city was at peace, and Ilegela asked her maid to dress herself. She was wearing the red dress she had worn the first time she had been here, and inside the dress, Eligela had hidden the blunt sword that Prince Opal had bought for her.
The maid took advantage of Eligela's inattention and quietly wiped her tears. It was about to dawn when Ilegella heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it was Prince Opal who had returned with his knights.
Unfortunately, last night there was another victim who also had Eligela's name on him. This time there was no loud shouting, but a carriage was prepared and parked at the gate of the palace. When Prince Opal returned, he saw the carriage at the entrance of the palace and looked up at the princess's bedchamber.
This was the first time in his life that he had broken his trust with everyone, and he felt deeply guilty that he was not able to protect the people of Dawn as he wanted to protect the safety of the people of Dawn. Now that his princess is about to be condemned by everyone because of his dishonesty, he is even more sad.
Dressed in red, Ilegella came to the king, accompanied by her maids. She bowed deeply, "Dear Father, I'm coming here, please don't be upset, because I did it voluntarily, and no one forced me." ”
King Saman sat on his throne and looked at the weak Elagaira: "Child, we are sorry for you, I am already old, and there is no way to protect you. ”
"I know, I know, I don't blame anyone, that's my fate, and I choose to accept it."
Bidding farewell to King Samander, Eligela quietly walked out of the palace and towards the crowd. Her expression was firm, untimid, and she looked at everyone with kindness. Under her soft gaze, the people lowered their heads, and if it weren't for panic, they wouldn't have been willing to treat their princess so cruelly.
Ilegella made her way through the crowd to Prince Opal, who jumped off his horse and looked at her steadily. In any case, he didn't want to see his princess treated like this, he wanted to contradict everyone, but he didn't have a firm enough reason.
"Your Royal Highness, please cherish it!" With that, Eligela curtsey to Prince Opal, who gently lifted her up and took her hand: "I'm sorry"
Eligera smiled at him and shook her head, then walked to the carriage.
"Let me send you, okay?" Opal struggled to speak, but Eligela still smiled and nodded.
The carriage walked slowly along the streets of Gangti, and Prince Opal opened the way for it in front of him, his expression solemn. In the streets, the people made way for him, and after the carriage and horses, the people gave one last salute to Princess Ilegella.
Just as the carriage came to the city gate, it met Simon and two other knights who had returned from the town of Wurum, and behind Simon, there was a masked man in a white robe.
The white-robed masked man jumped off his horse and came to Prince Opal, looking at the carriage behind him. The red dress on the carriage was particularly conspicuous.
"Your Royal Highness, what are you doing here?" The masked man said a word, and Opal, who asked, didn't know how to answer, but it was the princess's maid behind him who told what had happened. After listening to the maid's words, the masked man smiled indifferently.
"Is it just because the name of the princess is printed on the body of the victim that the princess should be put to death? If you see Prince Opal's name on the victim, will you have the same experience? The masked man looked at Opal indifferently, and the breathtaking eyes under the mask stared at him deadly.
Opal was stared at like this, and he only felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill.
"Who are you?" Opal asked, the person in front of him didn't look like an ordinary person, and there was an indescribable mysterious power in him.
Simon told everyone exactly what had happened in the town of Wurum, and when they heard how the Masked Man had put the beast to death, they couldn't help but shout. The boulder that has been suppressed in people's hearts seems to have been loosened.
"What's your name?" Opal asked again
"Lalula" the masked man said lightly, "I heard that there are also wild beasts in the country of Gangti, and I came for the beasts. ”
When the masked man said he was here for the beast, the people were about to cheer. Although this masked man looks a little weird, as long as he can get rid of the beast, everyone is still happy.
But the Masked Man offered a condition in exchange, that is, no matter what happened in the future, the Kingdom of Gangti could not expel Princess Eligaira. People are like this because of the fear of wild beasts, so if the wild beasts are eradicated, they will naturally not treat the princess like this, after all, they love Prince Opal very much.
Among all the people, only Opal remained calm at all times, and his princess was actually saved by the masked man in front of him. Whoever this man was, he couldn't stay here anymore after the beast was eradicated.
At night, Opal told everyone to hide in the palace hall, as Lalula said, and no one could come out no matter what they heard. Prince Opal wants to accompany Lalula, so that if the beast does appear, he can help her. However, his kindness was ruthlessly rejected by Larula, who insisted that Simon accompany him.
Under the moonlight, Larula and Simon stood guard on either side of the street, and it was quiet all around as the inhabitants had gone to the palace. Simon and Larula waited for a long time without noticing anything unusual, and as it approached the wee hours of the morning, Simon was a little sleepy, and he held his eyes to prevent himself from falling asleep.
Abaddon ...... Abaddon ...... familiar voice sounded again, and Lalula motioned for Simon to follow him. The sound was coming from underground, and Lalula asked Simon if there was a hole in the ground. Simon has lived in Gangti since he was a child, and is a knight personally selected by the king to assist Prince Opal, and knows the terrain of Gangti well.
Simon led Lalula through a path and into an abandoned house. As soon as she walked into the abandoned house, Lalula couldn't help but frown, the taste here was really not very good. However, since it is the entrance to the cavern, the smell of this also shows that Lalula's judgment is correct.
Simon, a knight of the Gundy Kingdom, tried to lead the way in front, but was stopped by Lalula on the grounds that his nose was not sensitive enough.
Sounds come and go, and Lalula can only rely on her instincts to determine the direction.
Abaddon ...... Abaddon ...... "Suddenly, a voice came from directly in front of Larula, who gestured to Simon, and the two of them split into two paths, one left and one right. Lalula felt her left palm start to burn, and the little brown snake seemed to be eager to come out.
After a sharp pain that pierced the heart, the small brown snake emerged from Dann's palm and disappeared into the darkness. The air around him began to grow cold, and Simon's face began to turn pale. At the end of the cavern, they saw a giant serpent entrenched, its copper eyes shooting a chill.
The moment he saw the serpent, Simon stiffened and lost consciousness.
The serpent swam towards Danen: "Danen"
"You know my name?" Dann kept his eyes on the serpent, trying to keep a certain distance from it. Danen, who was wearing a mask, could clearly see every movement of the giant snake.
"Yes, I know your name, but I know another one...... Abaddon. ”
"No, I have only one name, Danen, which is the name given to me by Old Boole." Dann said calmly
"Don't you wonder about your origins? Don't you want to know about the mysterious power that lies in you? Please, just open your mouth and ask me, and I will tell you all this. As he spoke, the serpent came closer.
"You hurt those people?"
"No, they were all killed by you, and I did it all for you, and that poor Princess Eligaira. Speaking of Eligaira, aren't you curious about where she came from? Please, I'll tell you. ”
"What do you mean? Who are you? Dan said angrily that if he was the target, then the previous victims were indeed killed because of themselves.
The serpent moved forward again, but Dann remained motionless.
"Who am I? Anyone could be me, Eligela? Prince Opal, or the ferocious beast...... The dark door has been opened, and we will return, Abaddon, join us. As long as you join us, you will be the master of all living things, and all living beings will be at your disposal. ”
"You're not afraid I'll kill you?" Dann asked, if the dark forces would return, as the Serpent said, it wouldn't be that simple.
The giant snake smiled: "What you killed was just a stand-in for me, the real me, you can't kill you." In this world, no one can kill me, including you, Dane. ”
"In that case, then what are you looking for me for, why don't you go and be Abadon yourself?" Dan En asked, his heart had already begun to think about various possibilities.
"If that's your answer, then I think I'll do it, I just don't want to be an enemy against you. But if you insist, I can't help it, this is just the beginning, don't blame me for not reminding you, it's you who didn't take advantage of the opportunity. Remember, you can turn to me whenever you want, and I mean anything. As he spoke, the serpent collapsed to the ground, no longer imposing.
A hoarse voice swirled in the air: "Remember, when you are in danger, you can turn to me for help, I will be happy to serve you." ”
As the sound faded, Simon woke up and found that the serpent was trying to escape, so he jumped up and reached the serpent. He raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the serpent, black blood pouring to the ground.
A chill came from Danen's palm, and Danen looked down to see that the small brown snake had returned to his palm, and the color had become a little darker than before.
The next day, the news of the eradication of the beast was spread by everyone, and the state of Gangti held a banquet for Danen, and after dinner, Danen asked to leave. Prince Opal walked silently behind Dann, and Simon was ordered by the kingdom to escort Dann away safely. After these two events, Simon admired this Larula from the bottom of his heart, and he was glad that the king allowed him to escort Larula.
As he walked out of the palace, Dann's voice rang out from Eligera's voice: "Thank you, Dann! ”
Dann looked up and saw the figure of Eligela standing in front of the window.
