Chapter 214: Pulling the Heartstrings
Walker, the Duke of Ella, rolled over and jumped down, and ordered Wayne Landmark not to step forward, but to quietly walk alone to the ancient stone steps under the platform, looking up at the beautiful shadow of Agnes, the queen of the shipwreck.
Queen Agnes's tattered gown showed the snow-white skin of her graceful body in front of Walker's eyes, and the tearful Queen Agnes was like a frightened fawn, staring at the two pools of spring water, looking at the somewhat strange man who walked towards her with a look of fear. Her two jade arms grabbed the buttons, and the dress that had been spread out blocked her breasts like snow-white cream, and her closed slender legs kept trembling, but they still couldn't stop the elegant fragrance emanating from her body.
"Your Highness, you are safe." Duke Ella stopped on the stone steps leading to the platform, lowered his brown eyes, and then stroked his chest with one hand, and knelt down on one knee to make a solemn vassalal salute to Queen Agnes.
"I know that sword of yours! The treasure of the temple of Arcana, it was rewarded as a champion knight at the Sidrion Grass Pulling Festival more than two years ago! You are? The Yafen knight who escaped in the knights' jousting arena - Rogge? The lovely two thin lips rose and fell, and her unresolved doubts were revealed between the pleasant inquiries of the yellow warbler.
With the wisps of elegant fragrance coming from the interrogation, Walker's soul seemed to tremble, he didn't know where to look his eyes, between the slender legs hidden the secret treasure forest that men want to find, the blocked chest peaks and mountains are the strange peaks and mountains that men want to conquer, Queen Agnes's body seemed to him to be a forbidden fruit full of temptation, but he had to resist the impulse brought to him by this inner demon, and it seemed that he felt the strange fetters that restrained this impulse, Queen Agnes gave him a sense of communion, even though it was such an awkward and terrible formal encounter for him and Queen Agnes.
Duke Walker nodded slightly, and after completely defeating the distractions in his heart, he said slowly: "Your Highness has a good memory, I am indeed the Yafen knight Rogge who was in the jousting field two years ago. I still remember looking up at His Highness's dignity in the martial arts arena. You can't forget it at a glance. ”
"It's because I'm so embarrassed to appear in front of your eyes now. I remember that Segal Saxon was ready to kill you in the knight's jousting ring. Although I don't know how, I only know that he has a lot of enemies. And I am his queen, and naturally I am hated by his enemies. Even if it's a pawn he can discard at will. It was a nightmare marriage that my father had given me. I can't blame anyone else. Queen Agnes, recalling her life as a prisoner in solitary confinement, buried her head in her arms, "The demon does not spare even the innocent maids who have always been with me. Ah, I must be a woman who brings misfortune, why don't you, as his enemy, kill me, but save me? ”
"Because the short-lived knight Rog has another name, Walker Easttem. And you're just an innocent woman who was used and destroyed by that guy. In fact, it is. I'm sorry, Your Highness, and I beg your pardon for saying that. Duke Walker's heart trembled, and Agnes' sobs pinched his heart like an invisible hand, "I've had a similar experience with you. Segal Saxon used the title of Count of Entre as a bait to provoke a boring three-year war between me and the Count of Entle, until I was defeated at the gate of the Red Boar and vomited all the fruits of greed. Moreover, when I finally realized the loyalty of my mentor, His Excellency Lawrence, he was subjected to inhuman torture in prison, but until his death, my mentor's loyalty to me remained the same, and my former pride was shattered. Then, in order to enrich my experience, I traveled to many places, and it was not until I fell into the trap orchestrated by Segal Saxon in the royal city, and his complete betrayal, that I learned from the pain and put an end to the damn thing at the Battle of Lucy's Glade. Even so, I still did not betray the heart of the Kingdom of Rinston, but Segal Saxon and a group of courtiers around him, first of all, my traitor, followed by the ambitious general of the Hawking family, these bad guys with bad intentions have been planning to destroy and incite me and my people everywhere, and this time in order to find the truth of the war, you did not hesitate to exchange your life for it! I am not only a vassal of Her Royal Highness, but I have also had a similar experience with Her Highness, and now that they have done such a vicious deed, of course I do not agree! ”
"Ah, Goddess Arcana! You are the most dangerous person that Segal Saxon mentioned! O my goddess! What did my father do for the devil Segal Saxon! For the sake of his beautiful ideals, he even married me to a demon, and was willingly used by Segal Saxon, but he did not take into account at all that there was no trace of affection and love between me and Segal Saxon, and there could be no result, let alone his grandson, the guy with the crown, who was a beast, who had locked me in the Winter Palace under the high walls for many years, and lingered among waves of fat women. Agnes wiped away uncontrollable tears and trembled, "His Royal Highness the Duke of Entle, now Agnes no longer has the courage to live, please leave quickly, I will bring misfortune to you and your people." Segal Saxon used me as an excuse to frame you. Whether I live or die now, they must have prepared in advance, and whether you save me or not will be unable to recover this solid crime. Therefore, I would prefer to give my soul to the goddess Arcana, and may she attach my soul to a bird flying in the forest, and then fly to the El Helino Forest in Karkhand. ”
"Your Highness, I will not allow you to make such a senseless and bad choice. For my sake, and my brave courtiers risked their lives to come to your rescue. You have to listen to me - be strong! Be strong! As long as you're alive, there's always a way for your father, His Excellency Heller, Earl of Karkhand, to see the devil's face beneath the hypocritical face of Segal II. If you give up your life so easily, hundreds of thousands of people in the Dukedom of Ella will suffer catastrophe, and you are a brave woman with a righteous heart like me. Walker, the Duke of Ella, carefully stood up from the stone steps on one knee, his heart pounding like it was about to gush out of his throat, but he still walked slowly towards the platform.
Agnes, whose eyes were hazy with tears, raised her head slightly, and looked vigilantly at Duke Walker, who was slowly walking towards him, motionless, she seemed to feel extremely entangled in her heart, and she was full of shame in front of this man. However, the faint sadness contained in those brown eyes was firmly imprinted in her green eyes, and the sadness was so similar to her previous sorrow, and the palm of her chest seemed to feel her heart start beating rhythmically again, and even the atrium seemed to be injected with a warm current by something.
"Don't do anything stupid." The voice echoed in Agnes' ears, like the advice of the holy and unblemished messenger sent by Arcana, and she nodded sheepishly.
Ira Duke Walker approached her, like a guardian angel of Arcana walked into her heart, she finally saw the appearance of Ella Duke Walker, the curls like the waves were full of crystal sweat, the brown eyes under the sword eyebrows flashed with a faint sadness, the high nose bridge was as magnificent as the mountain beams of the Ella Mountains, and the smooth lines of the lips were as warm as agate. His face did not have that violent aura, but on the contrary, it was like a warm spring light, this great nobleman who ruled the north and south of Ella Mountain was completely different from the aristocratic temperament of those in the court, like the ray of sunshine she was looking forward to in the cold winter, making her feel that there was finally a glimmer of hope in this cold world full of disappointment.
Walker sheathed his sword, then took off his cloak and laid it on Queen Agnes, enveloping the source of his restlessness.
"Your Highness, I'll take you to safety." Duke Walker grabbed Queen Agnes' slender hand a little awkwardly, wiped the blood stains from the back of her hand, and bowed his head to kiss it.
Queen Agnes was shy about to retract her hand, but somehow she lost the last shred of her strength and was dragged by Duke Walker like a puppet. Step by step, I walked down the ancient stone steps in this cave, and walked out of the cave that belonged to the old nobles of Entre in the era of the Glinster dynasty.
Wayne Landmark had already prepared his horses outside the cave, and with a clean men's dress in his hand, he respectfully held him in front of Duke Ella, who was holding Queen Agnes's little hand, and said with some trepidation, "Your Highness, I only found the men's clothes carried by those honor guard knights. This piece is clean. ”
"Then, Your Highness the Queen, please put it on." Walker slowly let go of Agnes' sweaty little hand. Agnes nodded slightly, took the clothes from Wayne's hands, quickly walked into the cave, took off the torn dress on her body, changed into the man's outfit that Wayne found, and then threw the taken off dress into the cave abyss, as for the cloak that Duke Walker put on for her to cover her shame, she carefully folded it and held it in her hand.
The tall figure appeared in front of Duke Walker and Wayne of Ella again, and Queen Agnes, dressed as a man, looked like a young nobleman with an elegant temperament, and although her delicate facial features lacked strength, they added a lot of gentle beauty. I saw her holding a folded cloak and walking in front of Duke Walker with graceful steps, a sad smile appeared on her face, and her thin lips were lightly opened with wisps of fragrance, "Your Highness." Agnes Karkhand: Return your cape. ”
"No, it's yours. Her Royal Highness the Queen. Duke Walker's face was flushed, he looked at Wayne beside him embarrassedly, and then looked at the handsome queen who was accompanied by men's clothes, and then gently pushed the cloak that Queen Agnes brought back to her chest, and now his mood was like the warm sun hanging high in the sky in winter, "May this cloak always bring you warmth, and Her Royal Highness must have the courage to taste this life." Let Segal Saxon's secluded Winter Palace forever be a thing of the past, and his evil claws will never reach out to my Duke of Ella, and he will never do evil to you again! Believe me, Your Highness, his ruse will not succeed. As long as you live well. ”
"Yes, live well, so, I threw away the rags that I brought out of the nightmare cage and let her sink into the ground with this underground river! Please don't call me Queen Agnes again, Your Highness. The mournful queen is dead. His soul was reborn after your rescue. Just call me Miss Agnes, that's what the people of Kakhander used to call me. Agnes raised her head, closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm winter sun, and couldn't help but open her arms as if embracing the goddess Arcana who had descended from the sky.
Agnes' meandering voice seemed to have completely tugged at Walker's heartstrings at that moment, and his heart suddenly felt empty after the words had been spoken, something he had never felt before.
