Section 133: Honesty and Punishment
(5.23 2nd Update)
The butler, who had heard the news, instructed the servants to clean up the floating blood stains that flowed in the inner lake, stirring them up into the mud, and causing a clear wave on the water level as night fell.
"Stop!"
The housekeeper was stopped outside the identification zone, which was an intimidation that would not allow resistance. Waving his arms vigorously, he recognized his diminutive stature, calling out for a neglected presence.
"Let him in, he is the head of this manor, and his arrogant attitude may provoke him and charge him a high amount of compensation, after all, the damage to the fence of the courtyard and the trampling of the lawn are your masterpieces!"
After Si Qi negotiated with the captain of the guard, the threatening proposal was still compromised, and the high-standard reception was reasonable, and the reason was naturally not compensation for the sequelae of duty, but the fear of the lord of the manor.
"Your Royal Highness, I am very sorry, Lord Mesdo is not in good health, please punish me for my poor hospitality!"
The butler crawled under the makeshift resting platform, his shaking body and excited mood could not keep pace with the rhythm, and his eyes were closed tightly, not daring to open them.
"Mess Mess?"
Vic was a little surprised, he seemed to be in an unknown deception, and he didn't even know where he was going. suddenly realized his gaffe and covered his mouth to try to hide the contradiction.
"The warriors who lost in the wonderful duel also deserve to be commended. Mr. Dale, please keep your head up! ”
Hidden in the transparent airflow, Binro has witnessed the process of fighting, and still maintains a good interpersonal memory, even the humble butler can have his own name.
The butler, who had not received any additional instructions, stepped aside and asked for details of what had happened.
Shiro, who was temporarily restricted in his freedom, was being taught a lesson in reckless rescue, and was able to stab Karshirak past the princess in a moment of horror, and his calm judgment and quick execution made me look forward to the rest of his wonderful life.
"Count Bell. The princess invites you to take a walk by the lake. ”
Passing by, Binro quietly revealed to me the whereabouts of the missing princess, and then began to talk to the butler.
Following the flow of the lake, there is no wind, but it is very comfortable.
"What is Bell doing alone?"
The princess's slender hands blindfolded my eyes and did not have a superfluous effect in the chaotic dark world. On the contrary, the transmitted temperature is not cold.
"Nothing, fickle woman, almost the most inscrutable creature!"
The fingers trembled slightly, and they were out of sight, and sure enough, it was still a gray world, and there was still some loose mist.
"Hehe, maybe that's the attribute of a woman's defense."
The princess's grooming is very free, and even has a romantic atmosphere.
The road is long, but the words are short, and I don't know what to say. The familiar greetings no longer need to be repeated.
"As a friend, will honest deception be punished?"
The princess stood by the lake, her arms outstretched, embracing the ripples of the steam, and asked me coldly.
"If I were a victim, I would choose to be silent. It's vexatious to refute or something. ”
"Sure enough, if I say that the geometric coin is no longer in my possession. Will Bell be disappointed? ”
The princess's hanging arms are like a child who has made a mistake, but her shy appearance is very cute.
"Eh, it's easier to be frank than to be aggrieved, and I've verified the truth about Geometry Coins. It seems to be flying on mysterious wings to the mysterious country of longing. ”
Pick up a stone on the ground and throw it into the center of the lake, and the whirling ripples spread out.
"Whew. Sometimes I really doubt the existence of Bell, see through the truth but choose to be silent, is it deliberately dodging or unintentionally competing? Obviously, I was looking forward to a similar strong opponent, but when I faced it head-on, I wanted to escape. ”
The princess turned to stare into my eyes, and the gorgeous enchantment was so simple and clear that I seemed to see my own shadow in it.
"Although I hate the aura of honesty, the constant comments have always haunted me, and perhaps that is a form of punishment."
Time fell silent again, and the two of them, who were a little embarrassed, froze in place, the lighthouse outside the high wall, guiding the stoppage of the cargo ships and the lifeblood of the sailors.
"Does Bell remember the story in front of the rubble?"
"Well, but obviously I need to correct my misunderstanding of you, and the little woman's complaints are just as trustworthy. The suave old king is indeed already notorious, and civil strife is almost inevitable. The brutality of General Olis has also spread all kinds of magical rumors in the market, which are appalling. The choice mixed with contradictions is very difficult! ”
I seemed to have used the wrong wording, and the resuscitated princess suddenly began to weep, dripping on the surface of the lake.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have commented on the healing scars and caused secondary damage, please forgive me for the absurdity of my remarks."
"It's okay, the choice of fate is the door that I personally opened, can you grant me a request?"
The princess's cautious tone returned to calm, sorting out the lost demeanor.
"If one day my ruling regime is overthrown by Bell, I would like to see the sun rise at the same time as the kingdom of Coron."
The princess's straightforward statement is no longer subtle, and my intentions have been completely exposed, but it is very easy, turning the gears of time, honest deception, will it be punished?
"Yes, if I'm alive! I'm curious, since it's a mind that has been seen through, why not destroy it, but worship it? For example, arranging hordes of killers around me to wipe me out of the orbit of history should be a breeze for you. ”
In the calm surroundings, I could only hear the princess's breathing a little hurriedly, and the music by the lake had not yet played.
"I've also questioned myself, maybe it's the fragility of being pitied, maybe it's selfishness, and I'm always looking forward to a head-to-head confrontation with Bale. On the day I ascended the throne, the carnage almost clouded my gray life, but Bell's presence rekindled my long-cherished desire for color. ”
"Ahem, the definition that can reverses the soul reaper, the strange vision will actually sprout a stimulating feeling, and the discomfort for a while will also cultivate an overhead diaphragm. I accepted your challenge, and at that time, even friends, there was no friendship on the battlefield of opposition. ”
The snapping of my fingers is my promise to fight.
The princess smiled, very brightly, reflected on the moonlit lake, never guessing a woman's mind.
"Now, can Bell walk me back to the last distance?"
The princess stretched out her fingertips and put them on my shoulders, which was also a choice entrusted to me that I could not refuse. In that case, if you go against the direction of the current, you will probably be able to return to the starting point.
"Bell, can you tell us a little bit about your daily life?"
The princess wrapped herself around my collar, and her domineering posture did not allow for justification, but only acceptance.
"It's boring repetition, it's been circulating, it's been brainwashing."
"Is it like that?"
The princess stepped in front of me at a rapid pace, her outstretched hands stroking her hair and shaking. The silly look suddenly felt very cute, like a little girl who had not yet gotten rid of childishness.
"Poof!"
"Ahh
The distance of the princess is close, it is a natural comfort, a very simple source of power, and it is a certain returning soul, happy in freedom, that is a repressed childhood.
"The princess is probably very young!"
"Huh? The slave family is a young girl! ”
The princess pouted, as if she had gone back to the past, coquettishly.
The journey was not long, and they soon turned back to their original places, and the waiting crowd hurriedly stopped the topic of conversation and created a solemn atmosphere to welcome the princess.
"Your Royal Highness, bondage is not a way of hospitality worth advocating, and elegant people should abandon similar vulgar punishment models."
Bai vented his dissatisfaction with unfair treatment, of course, the element of acting on the scene is particularly obvious, according to his recovered strength, the evasive escape should be very easy.
"You shouldn't have been implicated, but even if it's a simple revenge for the orb, the deacon who abandoned his master shouldn't preach it, release this gentleman!"
The first second the guard received the order, the hemp rope that bound his arm had broken, and Bai stood on the narrow frame of the coffin, beating a somewhat stiff body flexibly.
"Tell Her Royal Highness the Princess, the remnants of the Black-Clad Society have been completely cleared, and according to their final confessions, I can hereby announce in advance that my Sixth Military Camp will completely sweep out the black-clothed envoys in the territory of Turan in the early hours of tomorrow morning, all!"
Vic's confident tone is unmistakable, and this time may be the end without a struggle.
"Then it's up to General Vick! In addition, a letter was sent to the 'allies' stationed on the border, that the Kolognes had withdrawn from their original positions and that one side could be invited to fill the remaining vacancies. ”
Binro began to take the place of the princess, instructing the messengers to convey the situation on the front to the envoys stationed in various countries.
The guards who began to evacuate were a little more neat than they were when they broke in.
"Earl, it's time to separate again, and it is estimated that the next time we meet will be on the eaves of the Earl's Palace."
"On behalf of the young master, I look forward to your visit with deceit and etiquette."
"Goodbye!"
The cold wind rolled up in white and disappeared into the night. The housekeeper also said a brief goodbye and hurried back to take care of Mesdo.
In the empty courtyard, it was just me and Siqi.
"Is it over?"
"Probably! I shouldn't ask, but I'm curious. The young master and the princess,"
"Shh
I interrupted Si Qi's questioning.
"Honesty and punishment!" (To be continued.) )
