Chapter 23: The Truth

The slender and slender fingers gently hook the strings, and the melodious and soft sound makes passers-by stop. It's been a long time since I'www.biquge.info ve heard this elegant music, and people who come and go can't help but sigh. Separated by a wall from where they were staying was the garden of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, which had been lifeless since the princess had fallen out of power and when she had fallen ill. Now, they're in for a treat.

In the garden, after the careful care of the florist, a hundred flowers bloom and compete with each other. The servants who came and went were busy with their work, and when they heard the sound of the piano, they all stopped and gathered their eyes in the gazebo in the middle of the garden.

Lindsey held the harp and played the unfamiliar tune intently, and sitting around her were Dick, the head of her shadow guard, the dukes Edith, Hovis, and the middle priest Phil. They enjoyed the wine while listening to Lindsay's playing.

At the end of the song, Lindsay's hand flickered, and the Sealed Demon Qin disappeared without a trace in front of everyone.

"I feel like I haven't played for a long time, and I'm a little rusty."

"How could it be~ Last time I heard the piano of Her Royal Highness the princess, it was as wonderful as ever." Phil put down his glass and said heartily.

Lindsay smiled silently, and Dick poured Lindsay a glass of wine and handed it to her: "Don't be greedy." ”

"Okay~" Lindsay glanced at Hovis, who didn't speak, and then took the wine glass and drank it down.

"But ......" Phil's voice sounded again, "I don't know why, I want to cry when I hear you play this time." I feel like the song you played today was very sad......"

Sad...... Lindsay herself didn't notice. Perhaps, it was caused by the news she received in the past few days...... The first is that the queen pardoned Modi's captivity, and she can move freely as long as she does not leave the city. However, she is still the princess who has been stripped of all rights.

Then, it is the third child, and her third sister will arrive in Luolan in a few days.

What made her feel powerless the most was Prince Sanstu. According to the news, he is not doing well. There were a lot of rumors about him in the harem.

The prince has always been indisputable with the world, and it doesn't matter what gossip there is. Lindsay knows very well, but what makes Lindsay sad the most is that the queen doesn't care about it. Now, she can clearly feel that there is a serious estrangement between herself and the queen. There are some big things, and she is very taboo about herself. What used to be something that could be talked about freely has now become a cautious attitude.

"Your Highness Princess, Isel asks to see you." The female officer stepped forward to salute Lindsay and said, Lindsay put down his glass: "Let him come......"

The female officer retreated, and Isel came to the gazebo to stand in front of Lindsay and said, "My injuries have healed, should your words be fulfilled?" ”

"You're bold!" Edith slapped the stone table fiercely and said angrily: "I know that your identity is special, but the person in front of you is not an ordinary person, it is the eldest princess of the current Luolan Empire!" Pay attention to your attitude!! Edith's temper was still so hot, and the others only frowned at Isel's powerless attitude, but no one was responsible, and they all knew that this boy was special.

Lindsay sighed and looked up at Isere, who was frightened but pretended to be calm.

"I won't ......forget what Princess Ben said," Lindsay gestured to Hovis, who grabbed Isel's wrist and pressed it on his pulse, and nodded after a while: "It's all right." ”

Lindsay stood up, looked at Isel and said, "Come with me...... You guys are waiting here. She looked at the four people who were also standing up.

"No!! We have to go along, or you won't want to go anywhere!! Lindsay, we also have the right to know everything. Edith disagreed. Lindsay was speechless and looked at Phil, who said with a firm face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please allow me to go with you." ”

"Little guy ~ you ......"

"I'm a priest!"

Lindsay nodded helplessly and came to his bedroom with everyone. The chain of the secret door was opened in public, and the secret door opened with a bang. Dick picked up the candlestick and stood in the doorway: "Please! ”

Edith Hovis and the two looked at each other in surprise, they didn't expect that there was this dark room in Lindsay's bedroom. Obviously, Dick knew that for a long time.

As the group descended the stairs, Edith frowned......

"Lindsay, is ......" what he thought?!

Lindsay glanced at Edith and nodded. After a few minutes, they reached the end of the stairs, and Dikla moved the chain of the secret door, which opened at the sound of the sound. The moment the door opened, a cold air froze everyone.

"Come in, Iser...... He...... It's inside......" Isel suddenly remembered what he had overheard earlier.

Ishel rushed in despite the cold of the ice cellar...... Inside the ice coffin, lying ...... Isn't that his own brother!!

"Brother...... Elder brother!!! Isel hugged the crystal coffin, tears welling up in her eyes. Ever since he overheard his brother in the princess's mansion, he searched everywhere. Didn't expect to be here......

Lindsay and the others stepped forward and quietly looked at Fassel in the crystal coffin as if he was asleep......

Phil looked around, staring into a corner. Soon, he came back to his senses and looked at the crystal coffin and the weeping Isel.

Lindsey ...... When did you build this ice cellar......" Edith looked at the surrounding display and the work of the dark room, it was undoubtedly a big project.

Lindsay stepped forward and looked at Farsel's face and said, "After Farsel died, I was very painful to think that the body would slowly decay, and I wanted to die and go down to accompany him." However, Fasel had a last word. I'm not allowed to die like this...... What gives me hope is Hovis......" Lindsay looked at Hovis with gratitude and tenderness in his eyes: "Hovis looked at me like this and told me that he had a way to ensure that Fasel's body would not rot. In this way, it took him half a month to return Fasel to me. He used the secret method, and he also needed the auxiliary condition, that is, Fasel's body should be stored in an extremely cold place, otherwise, although the body would not decay, it would shrink. In this way, I ordered someone to excavate a secret passage in my princess's dormitory, and converted it into an ice cellar. ”

"Yes...... Then...... Lindsay did not eat or drink, and held Farsel, who by that time had lost the desire to live. I couldn't bear to watch Lindsay languishing day by day, and I didn't want to watch her fall. So the secret technique was used to preserve the body of Fasel...... For half a month, Lindsay guarded my door, and no one could call me away. Half a month later, I took care of everything and handed Farsell back to Lindsay, and she collapsed...... Faresel's body has been kept in my house for months, and I think Lindsay has been building this chamber all these months. ”

Isel wiped away his tears, and he stared at Lindsay: "In that case, why did you kill him!" Don't you love my brother very much!! ”

Lindsay smiled wryly: "Isel...... Would you kill someone you love with your own hands? ”

Iser, who was asked, was stunned, but did not answer.

"Fasel did die because of me...... I also have a responsibility that cannot be shirked. But the one who killed Fareser...... Not me...... Issel, I brought you here, and everything I said in front of Fasel was not a lie. ”

Lindsay looked back at Farsel's face and looked at the faint smile on his lips.

"After I was born, Her Majesty sent me to the Holy Snow Mountain on the grounds that I was unwell in order to protect me from the persecution of traitors. There, is where the legendary predecessors of the sage are. With a lot of painstaking work, we found there. I take with me the Queen's Decree, our master, Mitan, a senior disciple of the Sage's predecessors, and the legendary man has fallen. Among my master's apprentices, he was among them...... Farcell. Among the many brothers and sisters, Fasel is the second...... Since I was born into a royal family, I am arrogant by nature. But in the extremely cold and poor area of the Holy Snow Mountain, who would take care of me, a royal family who is used to being pampered. When he got there, the master treated everyone equally, no matter who he was, he should do well or badly, he should be beaten or scolded. ”

Phil's gaze fell on the corner again, and then he looked at Lindsay, lamented by her description. There was no sound from the crowd, only the choked voice of Isel came out intermittently.

"I spent a few days in the Holy Snow Mountain, and I really couldn't get used to it. Coarse tea and light rice, and very cold. My brothers and sisters rarely pay attention to me because of my personality and because I am an outsider. But there is only one person who is different, shouting at me, taking care of me, making me laugh when I am homesick, and patiently coaxing me not to cry when I cry secretly. He was the one who secretly dragged me to hunt game when I couldn't get used to the food there...... Farcel ...... Eleven years...... We get along day and night, it is he who brings me into the world of my brothers and sisters, and it is he who allows me to slowly accept the reality and bring me joy for eleven years. I fell in love with Fasel, my confession never expected to be accepted by him, what I didn't expect was that Fasel also loved me. What we are doing together is known to everyone, and they are also supportive. Being with Fasel was a blessing that made me forget my home and my responsibilities. I just want to stay happily with Fassel in the Holy Snow Mountain...... But I didn't expect that when I was sixteen years old, it was when I left the Holy Snow Mountain......"

Lindsay stood up, and Dick put a cloak on her. She smiled, and Lindsay looked at Hovis, Edith, and Phil who were staring at her, and she sighed and continued: "Master Mitan actually got two copies of the Queen's Encyclical when I arrived at the Holy Snow Mountain, and the other told me that when I was sixteen years old, someone would arrange for someone to take me away. On that day, I habitually stayed on the edge of the cliff and watched the sea of clouds, and Fassel found me and told me that Master would see me after dinner. In this way, I found my master, and he told me the news. And, pass on my artifact to seal the magic piano and the piano score. He told me that my internal strength and the Sealing Demon Qin complement each other. I hope I will use it to protect the territory of Loland and save the suffering people of the world. ”

Lindsay's eyes blurred and her body began to tremble. Clenched fists...... Those around her already felt that this was the beginning of all events......

Ethel stared intently at Lindsay and waited for her to continue, and Ethel could feel her strangeness. Lindsay's eyes were filled with resentment and anger.
