Chapter 23: The Punishment of the Castle of Ugar (2)
Life in the castle, after getting used to it, can be regarded as leisurely and comfortable, sometimes I don't know the time geometry, just leisurely from the rising sun, in the blink of an eye to the time when the sun is bright red and the sun is thin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, for Man'er, the lack of freedom in life suddenly became a little boring. The active mood was slowly consumed by time, and finally she was completely calm.
However, there are some benefits to having less to worry about.
The castle has always adhered to its inherent silence, and the deep corridors of the castle are always dark, empty and silent, with a lingering haze and sadness......
Life may fade with time, but the soul may become eternal with life. The same may be true of the spirits of the dead who sleep around the castle.
After three years of captivity, Princess Man'er gradually transformed from a child into a fairy who fell out of the world, but the decadent and dilapidated castle is indeed a blasphemy for a fairy.
I put down my food and thought about my current situation, and I didn't know what to eat.
Forget it, if you don't have an appetite, why force yourself, I got up slowly, the jewel on my waist jingled, lifted the hem of my skirt shallowly, and walked back to the wind window slowly.
"Whenever I can't keep going, I always wonder why I did it this way in the first place...... So, I have nothing to regret. I muttered to myself, and suddenly it seemed as if I had figured it out, but in fact, deep down in my heart, there was still a tenacious stubbornness that was indomitable.
Jin Na'er sighed silently in the bottom of her heart, "Don't you feel lonely? How could you endure such a confinement in the past? ”
I smiled bitterly, "What can I stand and can't stand it, many things, since they happen to me, I can only adapt and accept them...... Thinking about going the other way will make you very tired, and when you find that everything is difficult to turn around, it will only make you feel the pain of falling into hell. ”
Man'er gently stretched a slender white hand out of the wind window, feeling the breeze of the sea, she continued: "What's more, loneliness is a fateful twist and turn, for Brother Luze...... I will always yearn for the end of the sea. In the end, her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but Jin Na'er was so startled by the words that she staggered two steps.
"No, princess, give up that terrible thought!" Her face suddenly turned a little pale, "Since Princess Ling can treat you like this, where is it worth you to die for His Royal Highness the Prince?" She said sharply, and a wave of hatred rose between her eyebrows.
I was silent, ignoring her overly agitated reaction, and Qingling's face remained calm.
I closed my eyes and said with deep feeling, "I admit that I do have many complicated feelings for that high-ranking mermaid princess. ”
"Because she raised me, I am grateful to her; Since she was my brother's biological mother, I always wanted to please her from time to time; But now, she has confined me to the castle of Ugar......"
"Now, my feelings for her have become more jealous!"
"As the saying goes, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and since we stand at both ends of the interests, we will inevitably have many contradictions."
Life in Yugar Castle is not without gains, and while the mood is calm, it will make you figure out a lot of things.
If you can put yourself outside the world and look at problems, then you will be able to see the world and people's hearts a little more clearly, as if you have more understanding and calmness in the depths of your heart.
people! If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
Jin Na'er took in the princess's expression, she sighed faintly and said: "You can see through many things, maybe you can see through it, and then let it go." However, there are some things...... You still can't see through it. ”
We raised our eyes suddenly, a pair of eyes were blue and clear, noncommittal to Jin Na'er's words, but there was still a kind of stubborn insistence, "My brother will always be different from my mother." ”
Jin Na'er frowned tightly, looking helpless, "Princess, wake up, she is Prince Luze's biological mother!" If one day, Prince Luze returns to Spirit Island, you and the prince ...... Maybe they won't be together. She persuaded earnestly, and her heart was also sentimental.
It was as if a sharp pain swelled up in my heart, and I asked, "Why, why can't we be together?" My brother once said that he would love me for the rest of his life. ”
I clenched my right hand, and the two small objects in it hurt my palm.
"Let's not talk about what Prince Luze is doing right now...... Princess, imagine that if His Majesty the Spirit King were to pass on the throne to you one day, the princess would naturally sit on the throne of the queen. However, once Prince Luze returns to Spirit Island, the princess will inevitably fight you for the throne! At that time, you all became enemies, how can you still be lovers? Jin Na'er is still bitter, and whenever she wants to persuade me, she looks very solemn, and her hands are constantly gesturing.
My gaze remained steadfast, ignoring her out-of-context inferences, "My brother won't compete with me for the throne." ”
Jin Na'er lamented again, she had nothing to do about my stubbornness, but to persuade me bitterly.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you know the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince better than I do, although he is gentle and modest, and his demeanor is elegant, but what a high-minded and arrogant person he is, and how can you imagine the strategic planning in his chest? If he doesn't return to Spirit Island, if His Royal Highness comes back, how can he not be tempted by the position of the Spirit King? Jin Na'er's face was already a thin layer of anger, and her emotions were a little excited, but her words were penetrating and to the point.
A bitter smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, my eyes glanced at her, and I asked, half-teasingly, "How do you say as if you know him well?" ”
Jin Na'er ignored Man'er's ridicule and continued to say persistently: "Princess, this is called a fan of the authorities, and a bystander is clear!" How can the innate domineering and scheming king's domineering and scheming city government be hidden? If one day he comes to compete with you for the throne, how can he be true to you? ”
Man'er blinked her big eyes, looked at Jin Na'er's gushing and changing expression, and suddenly pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'll just give him the throne." ”
Jin Na'er looked at me in a daze, and she was in a state of being dizzy by her, "Princess, how can you give in for a lifetime of thoughtfulness?" ”
"If you give in one step, you will give way to the second step, the third step...... You have made such a big bet just to bet on the heart that he loves you, what if the prince's heart changes? Your Royal Highness, if you really come to such a situation, your country will be handed over, and even you will end up miserable and miserable......" she said heartily.
I felt uneasy in my heart, but my face was still unmoved, and I insisted: "You are too pessimistic. ”
"Princess, although Prince Luze is the eldest son, you are the concubine of the Spirit King, and the rightful heir of the Spirit Clan! If you try to keep that invisible and untouchable love, it will only hurt you in the end. ”
"Have you forgotten what the elders said? It was Princess Ling who deliberately wanted to trap you in Yugar Castle, and although Prince Lu Ze was thousands of miles away, he was not ignorant of the things on Spirit Island. You've been trapped in the castle for three years, have you ever heard of him thinking of a way out for you? Her words were filled with naked anger.
I suddenly felt embarrassed and sad that I had been poked in the spine, and my clenched fists were shaking slightly, 'Yes, he wouldn't have known, but why would he choose to stand by and watch?' The tip of my nose was inexplicably sour, the corners of my eyes were slightly sparkling, and my heart was filled with deep soreness.
I burst into tears and choked up, "But I really love him!" ”
Jin Na'er looked at me with pity, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Princess, maybe in a woman's world, love is everything; However, in the world of men, in addition to love, there are many things that make them desperate to pursue......"
Jin Na'er's words were like a crisp slap in the face, and the split hit me on the cheek, although there was no pain in my skin, but my heart was sour and cold, and her words instantly pulled me back from the illusion to reality.
The pain buried in the bottom of my heart was excavated all at once, and the longing and love for my brother will always be a place I dare not touch.
Maybe time can really dilute the pain of parting, but missing him has become a habit.
Now that I think about it, maybe everything was arranged by God, they always get together less and leave more like this, and suffer from lovesickness, so this habit has lasted for so many years and has never changed.
I took a deep breath, tried the tears on my cheeks, and said stubbornly, "Even if I want to give up, I have to ask in person." ”
Jin Na'er didn't mean to give in at all, but begged bitterly: "Princess, give up your idea...... There's no way you'll ever have a chance to leave Spirit Island again! ”
Man'er's eyes welled up with tears, and she immediately looked up, hoping that the tears would flow back as effortlessly as they had come out.
However, the truth is always not as expected, and when Man'er was about to shed tears, he wiped it dry with his sleeve without a trace.
Man'er firmly declared: "Unless my brother tells me personally, I will not give up." ”
Jin Na'er kept shaking her head, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, the princess was stubborn.
"Princess...... You have more important missions to accomplish, and you've done enough for him...... You can't waste all your youth in the castle, can you? ”
I turned my back to her, and my hand hidden in the water sleeve silently tightened into a fist.
I closed my eyes, my heart was sour, and I didn't know that what Jin Naer said might be the most likely way things would develop.
Jin Na'er asked step by step: "What if the thing you are clung to is not fruitful?" What if the prince never comes back? If your love is fruitless, why not let it go sooner? ”
I spread out my palms, and there were two unique ancient rings lying on them, and I muttered to myself, "I haven't found a reason to let go......"
Although I struggled to give them to my brother...... However, turning around, my brother still left them to me. This was the case when my brother left Spirit Island, and now that I have gone and returned, it is still the same.
My brother left his love, his country, and his health to me, so where can I find a reason not to follow him?
I slowly closed my eyes, and my heart was infinitely desolate.
'Whoever obtains the royal way will gain the world, and whoever obtains the soul will have eternal life. I silently chanted in my heart, staring at the two rings in my palm, "What if you don't get it?" What if you get it? The only thing I want is someone I love! ”
