Late at night -

The whirring wind blew through the cracks in the window, and the simple windows made of bamboo could not completely block the cold night wind, even if she was wrapped in a thick quilt, the ubiquitous cold would rush in, from her ears to her neck, and from her feet to her whole body.

Isabella opened her eyes, rubbed her hands around her chest, and lay on the bed that had been heavily padded with thick leather pads, still not the slightest sleepy, staring blankly at the roof, on the one hand, depressed, on the other hand, the bad weather, and the state of difficulty in falling asleep could not be changed.

She never thought that the word pampering would be used on herself, whether she had seen it in a book or heard it from others, and Isabella always thought that she would not have anything to do with it.

In the center of that gorgeous and extravagant imperial capital, surrounded by her own sycophancy, she sometimes thought proudly, she was different from the people around her, she knew how to think, in front of this illusion that now seems to be pride, she hated the falsehood of the nobles, disgusted with the vanity of the nobles, their names should be engraved on the decaying confessional monument, she insisted on it, and then abandoned the extravagance that seemed to be luxurious and almost enjoyable, expecting to experience the life of ordinary people, sometimes she even thought, If she hadn't been a princess, maybe she would have lived a happier life than she has now.

However...... Maybe the belief she has always insisted on is wrong, as fragile as a bubble, otherwise, why would she hate the current qiē so much, this is obviously the life of ordinary people in anticipation, she thought, the bitter mood is like a small leaf hanging on a tree with the wind drifting, the clearer she reflects, the more she understands her moth-eaten nature as a nobleman.

Tears slowly began to flow from the corners of her eyes, she hated herself, for the first time she felt that thinking was so tiring, if she didn't think so much, wouldn't it be easier, and when she realized the idea she wanted to escape, she was so disgusted with her own despicability: "It's really useless, Isabella......" she muttered to herself, turned her head and peeked at the sleeping Vivian and Shen Yi, and then stood up lightly.

Listening to her footsteps gradually moving away, Shen Yi flipped his body and opened his eyes suddenly: "It's really going to lick trouble......

……

Standing on tiptoe, when she walked out of the house, the moon was as cold as a pearl and jade hanging high in the night sky, Isabella raised her head, it must have laughed at her own inappropriateness, she thought to herself, the cold wind came from all directions incomprehensibly, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she wanted to pretend to be strong, warned herself not to cry, not to cry, but she couldn't stop the tear ducts, blurred eyes, blurred vision.

She trotted up and ran out of the village through the burning bonfire, stopping at the river that surrounded the village, then buried her head in the water, letting the icy water soak her face, until she could no longer take it anymore, and then raised her head, panting and looking at the reflection of the wolf on the water.

Tears and the like were no longer visible, and the wet hair pressed against her cheeks, she stared blankly, and then sat on the ground with her hands folded, letting time slip away bit by bit, and her thoughts seemed to stop in an instant.

It was so quiet that it seemed that only the night was the chirping of insects, the water droplets slid down her cheeks, and then wet the placket of her clothes, her empty eyes stared straight ahead, and the uncontrollable black thought in her heart surged up, why did she live so hard? Wouldn't it be easier to die, thinking like this, only such a sentence echoed in my mind.

As if in response to the thought of death in her heart, the Assassin appeared across from her again in black in blue eyes, her empty eyes recovering a little, and then hidden by a deeper darkness.

Still haven't let yourself go? Even though she had fled here, however, she didn't want to escape anymore, she thought, sitting on the shore, motionless and watching the man in black slowly approach, in fact, all of this was a nightmare from the beginning, she unconsciously thought, no matter how she struggled, it would be impossible to escape, the ending had been decided, and then as soon as she died, this nightmare would wake up.

With this in mind, Isabella watched the assassin silently, watching her raise her hand, then shoot several silver knives, and watch the tip of the blade quickly approach her neck with a cold light, she closed her eyes, waiting for the moment of relief.

Ding Ding Ding -

The crisp sound of collision sounded in front of her, and when she opened her eyes, the small knife that had been bounced off slashed in front of her, falling weakly at her feet, and she looked at the man in front of her in surprise.

"Hey, I'm in trouble, and I'm not allowed to sleep, and there's still a lot of work waiting for me to do early tomorrow morning." Shen Yi complained with a grumble, glanced sideways at Isabella, who was in a state of despair, and then turned to the man in black on the other side of the riverbank: "Are you all finished?" ”

The man in black glanced at Shen Yi, and immediately turned around and rushed into the forest without hesitation, Shen Yi twisted his neck, turned his back to Isabella and said, "Stay here, don't run around, I will get rid of her soon!" With that, his figure disappeared in place, but Isabella didn't seem to hear Shen Yi's words, and stared blankly at the silver knife at her feet.

Maybe as long as she is dead, she can wake up from this nightmare, she thought blankly, and slowly picked up the knife that had fallen at her feet......

********************************************************************************************

The tender strips on the branches of the trees swayed and swayed, and through the staggered gaps, the faint brilliance cast by the moon could be seen, and the black shadows flashed, and they jumped up on the trunks, shooting something like a claw hook from their hands, and their slender and slender figures leaped from one end of the tree to the other.

It was an agile figure that was hard to catch, the pitch-black outfit hidden in the shadows of the trees, and even if someone stood nearby, she would only feel a gust of wind passing by, she thought so, and she had almost absolute confidence in her skills, because it was honed in the cruel hell, she was a death dancer who hovered on the line of life and death.

Then she stopped, walked silently like a cat, hid against the trunk of the tree, half of her body hid in the shadows, held her breath, and then controlled her heartbeat, and looked behind her with a cold gaze, in the darkness was the man chasing after her.

Raising her left hand, between her fingers was a blade that flashed with a silver cold light, and then fell, like lightning, the silver light shot towards the eyebrows of the man behind her, like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake letter, at the same moment, she quietly accelerated, along the shadows, her body disappeared as if it melted into the darkness.

Bite~

The knife spun and flew out, Shen Yi shook his head, holding an identical knife in his hand, as if sighing at some kind of clumsy technique, his body abruptly took half a step back, and the moment he misturned, it was a dagger over his shoulder, and then he grabbed the attacker's wrist and threw it out mercilessly.

Knock~ With a dull sound of landing, the black assassin appeared in front of him, and he happily looked at the other party's crystal clear eyes with surprise.

"Hey! See you again, lovely juniors! ”

The man's teasing smile was slowly reflected in her unbelievable eyes, looking condescendingly at herself lying on the ground, her wrist still held in the palm of the other's hand, just a matter of a moment, and the hidden technique that she was proud of was seen through, how could it be? The other party didn't even turn around to judge that he would appear behind him? The constant doubts filled in the frustration of the missed sneak attack, and she stared blankly at the smiling face that was close at hand.

After a brief distraction, she came back to her senses, her eyes became sharp, even if she failed, it was impossible to stop there, she thought, the knife suddenly bounced out of the sole of her shoe, bent her knees, her soft waist accompanied the movement, and the silver cold glow came from the bottom up.

The sound of broken bones rang out in the silence of the forest.

"Woo......" Her eyes widened, her unjointed left leg hanging limply, and the pain rushed to her brain with pins and needles, and she bit her lip tightly and let out a slight grief.

"Honestly, no? The next time you come back, it's not just about dislocating you. Shen Yi shrugged his shoulders, and put on an expression of don't blame me on his face, and then he suddenly approached her lying at his feet, almost leaning against her two faces, her eyes became sharp, as if warning Shen Yi not to approach, but the two fights also made her understand that compared with the man in front of her, she had absolutely no chance of winning, she could only symbolically show an expression without any threat, and then in her cannibalistic gaze, Shen Yi lifted her veil: "Don't look at me like that, I'm just looking at your face...... Oh, it turned out to be a big beauty......"

What appeared in front of Shen Yi's eyes was a beautiful face that was not inferior to Isabella in the slightest, especially under her jet-black hair, which added a layer of mysterious beauty to her, and at this time, that pretty face, slightly distorted because of pain, stared straight at him like a fire-breathing gaze.

"Oh, good, good, this gaze is admirable, and if it had been before, I would never mind giving you a taste of hell."

She looked coldly at the face of the man who looked a little ordinary, babbling inexplicable words in her mouth, but in her mind, she had already recorded his appearance, next time, she would definitely not let him go, and then at the moment of distraction, her neck was suddenly choked, and the squeezing around her neck was accompanied by a feeling of suffocation.

"I don't like people to take my words as wind in their ears, so you'd better keep every word in mind." Shen Yi still put on that indifferent smile, but the hand that grabbed her neck suddenly lifted her up, she struggled in vain, as if the actual killing intent enveloped her, the hairs on her whole body stood up in an instant, her eyes stared at the man in front of her who showed fangs, and the feeling was as if she was pierced by a sharp blade in the next moment: "Go back and sue your employer, that woman belongs to me, so don't fight her idea again, you know?" ”

She stared blankly at the man in front of her as if she had suddenly become another person, and she didn't react for a while, the contrast between the person in front of her was so great, and then she felt the five fingers holding her neck slowly tighten, and her vision became blurred with the sudden increase in pressure, she nodded with difficulty, the pressure in her neck disappeared, she fell to the ground and coughed incessantly, raised her eyes slightly, and stared at him with palpitations.

"You can get out, but don't come any closer to here, or it won't be as simple as scaring you next time."

She listened to the man's plain words without the slightest emotion, but her beautiful eyes did not dare to take their eyes off him, she could not be careless, she reminded herself, and then staggered to her feet, and did not dare to put her dislocated knee back in place, so she faced him, and slowly retreated behind her, until she gradually disappeared into the jungle, and then turned and fled.

"I've said I'll let you go, and you have to be so careful......"

Shen Yi muttered quietly, shook his head and turned to leave.

……

After a long time, the shore-

The faint moonlight reflected on the surface of the lake, there was no bright galaxy, the lonely moon shadow stood quietly in the water, and in the distance, the wind stirred the branches of the trees and swayed, and hidden in the dark outline was the panorama of the night.

The sound of the flowing water by the river, whooshing ~, resounded in the ears, solemn as the melody of a prayer song, whether it was persuasion or urging, it was impossible to distinguish, lying on the pebbles under the riverbed, the thin voice and shadow swayed like a violet that would wither at any time.

Picking up the knife at her feet, Isabella raised her head, her long purple hair was gently lifted by the wind, facing her neck, her hand trembling slightly, death may be the only way to get out, she thought, this can't be regarded as her own cowardice, she persevered in the suffering of torture, even the gods in the sky would not blame her for her abandonment.

After all, she has never been a strong person, when she encounters such and such things, she just hopes that someone will stand up to protect her, when she was in the imperial capital, she expected her father to be able to block the threat for her, and when she was in Atlas, she relied on Sister Toria, but here? To whom can she seek refuge?

I'm afraid not, no one cares if she's dead or alive, so ...... No one would blame her for seeking relief like this......

Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she pressed the tip of her knife to her neck as if in prayer, and tiny beads of blood oozed out.

Boom -

A huge sound suddenly exploded in the distance, and the thick palms slammed into her downward hands, Isabella opened her eyes, the surface of the river seemed to be separated, and farther away was a huge pit under the depression, and the splashing of water droplets fell on her head, on Shen Yi who was standing in front of her.

Time seemed to stand still, Isabella's eyes were red and swollen, looking at Shen Yi who was motionless, and something seemed to be about to burst out in the air that was surprisingly quiet, and she felt uneasy about Rarity, but she didn't see Shen Yi's side face, he kept his head down and didn't move, was he angry? She thought, and before the joy in her heart could spread, something deeper and more terrifying pressed down on her shoulders, and her eyes widened in horror.

"Woman, do you want to die?"

The strong and undisguised murderous aura spread out around the two of them, and farther away, the startled birds rushed to escape, she looked at the man in front of her who suddenly became extremely strange in fear, and her body couldn't help but retreat, it was driven by the instinct of fear, but her hands were tightly grasped, and the moment she saw his eyes, there was only a blank left in her mind, and ...... Lingering fear, as she saw hell.

“…… I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Isabella trembled uncontrollably, her reason was like a broken string, she was afraid to shrink, her lower body suddenly became wet, and there was a faint smell of stench, but she didn't realize it, just kept repeating: "...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

The cold wind whipped up, and the leaves rustled in the distance.

Then the lights in the village kept coming on, and the silent night suddenly became extremely noisy, and more people were awakened, and he looked up, and Vivien's figure was running in the direction of the two......
