"Puff, puff......"

Richard stepped on the thicker and thicker snow to reach the front of the second white house, and pushed the door open with a "creak".

As the door opened, a rush of hot air blew out, hit him, and then spread into the surrounding snow. The air was so hot that the snow in the snow immediately showed signs of melting.

Richard ignored it and looked inside the door.

Inside the door, much like the one seen in the first house, it was still the square, or the palace where he lived at the end of the square. The only difference is that at this time the palace is burning, and many people in the palace and in the square are being chased by soldiers.

Among them was a girl with very bright eyes, carefully hiding behind the fountain in the square, she was not too pretty, not too ugly, and belonged to the very attractive type. She looked around very smartly, carefully hiding her figure, making sure that no one noticed her in the chaotic field, got up and ran quickly to the side, ready to escape.

The girl ran faster and farther, and a horse's tail kept beating and beating behind her head, and at this moment, with a "boom", a crossbow arrow flew in.

"Poof!"

The crossbow arrow hit the girl's back, and the arrow peeked out from her chest.

The girl did not feel pain for a moment, nor did she notice the injury, and under the effect of inertia, she ran a few more steps, and then her legs weakened, and she fell to the ground with a "poof".

In the distance, a black-armored soldier silently put away the crossbow in his hand, and after making sure that the girl had no chance of survival, he no longer paid attention. Indifferently drew his long sword, turned around and walked towards a young and frightened young man more than ten meters away - he was the king's bodyguard, and the order he received today was to destroy everyone in the palace when the second prince was out, whether he resisted or not, and never let it go. As for the second prince himself, there will naturally be others to deal with it, and it is not his participation.

The black-armored soldier carried out the task without any flexibility, and the girl who was pierced by the crossbow arrow tried to sit up from the ground with all her might.

She knew she had little chance of surviving, but was still trying to survive a little longer.

She pressed her hand against the wound, controlling the speed at which blood flowed out of her body, and did not rush to pull out the arrow. She was taught that the human body is a complex structure, and that after being shot with a bow and arrow, she is not absolutely sure not to move the arrow. Because the arrow enters the body, while causing the injury, it also seals the wound to a certain extent, slowing down the blood flow out. Once the arrow is pulled out, without corresponding measures, the wound may be fully opened, and the person will die of massive blood loss in a very short time.

The person who had taught her had just said it casually, but she was as smart as she had memorized it, and now she was trying to stay awake and try to live, hoping that this massacre would turn around.

But she didn't turn the corner.

More and more soldiers appeared, more and more people were killed, and rivers of blood and dead bodies were everywhere in the palaces and squares.

After a few minutes, the girl couldn't hold on, the blood was already soaking through her clothes, and she leaned against a sculpture. Looking around a little dazedly, he suddenly saw a door open in mid-air, and saw Richard at the door.

The girl's eyes lit up, but soon they darkened again, revealing a bitter smile, and said weakly: "Your Highness, you are back, you are finally ...... It's back. But you came back too late, everyone died, and I ...... I'm going to die, too. Ahem!"

Coughing lightly, she glanced at the blood that continued to flow from her chest, and the girl pressed the wound with her last strength, looked up at Richard, and asked angrily and confusedly: "Your Highness, are they...... Why do you want to kill us?"

Richard at the door, looking at the girl, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly and said, "This is the price, Keiko." ”

The girl's name is Keiko, who gave it to him, and "Hui" is the same as "Hui" in the ancient text of the earth, and it means to be wise. As the name suggests, the girl was indeed the smartest person he had ever met, but she had only lived for a short time and had no chance to show her intelligence.

Keiko listened to the words, didn't understand too much, and asked, "Your Highness, what price?"

"It is the price of development beyond the times, and in doing so, it is destined to be countered by the conservative forces inherent in society. "That's where I was careless, and I made a mistake." ”

"Is it our fault?" Keiko frowned, "But we didn't kill anyone, they were the ones who killed them, right?" Keiko looked at the sword-wielding soldiers in the square.

"You can think of it that way, but the world is too practical, and sometimes the theoretical right and wrong are not right and wrong, and victory is the real right, and defeat is the real wrong...... If you die, you are forever wrong. ”

Keiko blinked, thought for a few seconds, looked at Richard and laughed: "Your Highness...... The speech was always so profound that I could understand some of them, and it would take me days to figure them out. I feel like I'm so stupid and ...... forever I can't live up to His Highness's requirements for me. ”

"No, you've done well, really, you've done well. ”

"Really?" Keiko was a little surprised, and then her eyes became darker and darker, "Well, thank you, Your Highness." It's just that...... In the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to study with His Highness anymore, because I am going to die. ”

"I'm going to die. Keiko's voice weakened, and finally she looked at Richard with blank eyes, and she didn't move for a long time, and said in an undetectable voice, "Your Highness, Shayanara......"

“...... Shayanara, Keiko. ”

Keiko heard.

Keiko smiled.

Keiko's body slowly fell to the ground, and the blood stopped flowing.

Richard watched quietly, watching this scene for a long, long time.

Eventually, he quit without saying anything and closed the door.

"Bang!"

......

on the snowy field.

Richard stood outside the door for a few moments, and then turned his head to look to the side, and saw that the Black Tower was nearer, and a third white house appeared a few hundred meters away.

"Puff, puff......"

He stepped closer, walked to the door, hesitated and stretched out his hand, and opened it with a "creak".

Inside the door this time, it was no longer a square and a palace, but a small room. He was familiar with the room and knew every furnishing, because it was the bedroom where he had lived for many years.

There were many candles lit in the bedroom, and it was very bright, and a child sat on the bed, with a blanket, looking at a thick book.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

Child-like, he kept flipping through it, and finally finished reading, closing the book and putting it aside with a "bang".

Looking up and noticing the real existence of him, he blinked his eyes and smiled like a child: "To be honest, I think I should be surprised to see my future self here, but I didn't, it was very calm." It's kind of weird. ”

ps: Shayanara, Japanese - さようなら, Chinese meaning - goodbye.
