Chapter 224: With a Hug? Or is it back?
The millennia village is intent on resurrecting the greatest hero in British history, the Knight King Arthur Pendragon.
In view of this, the descendants of each family in that village will be transformed after King Arthur before and after birth, trying to create offspring that perfectly replicates King Arthur's body and used as a vessel for King Arthur's resurrection.
Grey is one of those products of such pursuit and obsession.
If that's all, it's nothing, after all, all the people in their entire village have been transformed, everyone is the same, no one needs to look down on anyone, no one needs to be inferior, it may be a little incomprehensible to outsiders, but inside their village, this is at most an ordinary family, without any special features.
But ten years ago, Grey's body has changed dramatically, and her muscles, bones, cheeks, etc., have gradually changed into King Arthur's appearance.
This is a great news for the village that has made it its mission to resurrect King Arthur like a god descending on the devotees.
They regarded Grey as an incomparably precious being, and honored and feared her as the Son of God, the Son of God, expecting her to become a vessel for King Arthur's resurrection, and pressed the wishes and obsessions of an entire village for thousands of years on her shoulders.
Even her parents no longer saw her as a daughter, but King Arthur to worship, fear, and alienate her.
In all fairness, Ryuxia felt that with Grey's past, even if she rejected the village's expectations, or even directly turned against the village, he thought it was a very normal thing.
That past must have had a profound impact on Grey, and the reason why she is so scared of life now and doesn't know how to communicate with people is probably due in large part to the heavy expectations of the village.
But Grey didn't.
"I don't hate everyone in the village, and I don't hate this face and the hero of the past."
She didn't turn against the village, and she didn't even have the slightest rejection, "But Xia was very scared, afraid that she would no longer be herself, so she was hesitant all the time, not knowing how to make a decision." ”
"I hate myself like this, on the one hand, I bear the expectations of everyone in the village, but on the other hand, I am afraid and I am swaying between the two choices...... Sometimes I think I just give up on myself and just become the hero of the past. ”
She doesn't hate the village, she doesn't hate King Arthur, she just hates herself because she can't make a choice because she's afraid.
That's why she looks forward to Liuxia who can be unwavering no matter who she faces, and Liuxia's crisp and decisive style, and her self that will never waver no matter what happens, is something she can't have in her life.
"Why don't you resist?"
Ryusha looked at Grey with an inexplicable gaze, "Are you willing to be the hero of the past, it should be your freedom, right?" No one can force you. ”
The reason why Grey has such self-loathing is probably because she lacks a sufficiently firm self.
To put it mildly, it means that people follow the clouds, have no opinions, are easily influenced by others, and their hearts are easily shaken.
"Under ...... I don't want to live up to the expectations of everyone in the village. ”
Grey was silent, and said to Ryuka in a somewhat self-deprecating tone: "It's not that I don't have this self-consciousness in the future, I know that my heart is very immature, but I still can't make a decision. ”
In the end, it's because Grey is too kind.
Didn't she think about resisting the pressure of the village, and didn't she think about returning to the old relationship with her parents?
How could it not be, but when she thought of the expectant eyes of everyone in the village, her determination was shaken, and when she thought of the words that everyone was full of hope for her, she could no longer say those words of resistance.
"When the master came to the village and saw Zaixia, he said to Zai Xia very bluntly, 'I hate your face', and Zai Xia was really happy at that time."
A faint smile appeared on Grey's face, as if just one word had become her salvation, freeing her from the quagmire of no choice.
So later, when Master asked Zai Xia to leave with him, Zai Xia agreed...... Mr. Liangyi? What happened to you? ”
After Grey finished talking about her past, she found that Ryuxia was standing there, her whole person was in deep thought, her face showing a thoughtful look, and her eyes exuded an inexplicable look.
"Really...... I don't want to live up to other people's expectations...... It turned out to be such a simple thing, why couldn't I think of it all along? ”
A sudden smile appeared on Ryukya's face, extremely light, but it made Grey feel different from his previous smile, and there was a sense of brightness from the heart.
Grey tilted her head, a little unclear, and a handful of dull hairs on her head swayed in the wind, making her look cute at the moment.
"No, it's nothing, it's just my personal matter, I figured it out."
Ryusha shook her head at Grey and didn't say anything more, but changed the subject, "The MONOCULUS train has stopped ahead, we can catch up now." ”
"Huh? Can a Servant even know about such a thing? Gray looked at him in surprise.
"My magic dress was placed on the train, so I could vaguely feel the distance from the train."
Ryusha replied, "At this distance, if I chase with all my might, I should be able to reach it in three minutes...... Grey, with a hug or with a back? ”
"Huh?"
Grey was slightly stunned when she heard this, and after reacting, her face immediately turned red, "That...... It's good to use the one on your back, or something...... It's a shame. ”
"I see, come up."
Ryusha crouched down and turned her back to Grey.
Grey shifted her steps, and though she was extremely embarrassed, she walked behind him and lay on his back.
Ryusha stood up and scooped up Grey's legs with both hands, and could faintly feel the temperature of her skin through the black silk.
Grey buried her head directly on Ryuxia's back, her face was already red, she had never had intimate contact with the opposite sex, whether it was being hugged by the princess before, or being carried on her back now, she couldn't help but feel her heart swaying.
"Hahaha! Is this going to be springy, little Grey? I think this kid is a little younger, but he is much stronger than your master, and he is a good candidate...... Stop, don't shake, don't shake! ”
Grey wrapped one hand around Ryukya's neck, and the other hand through the cloak, shaking the birdcage so vigorously that Ard couldn't say the strange words again.
"Boom!"
"Wow!"
Under the short and low roar, Ryuka carried Grey on her back, and the whole person rushed forward with the posture of an arrow off the string, and the strong inertia made Grey exclaim, and quickly let go of Yard, and hugged Ryuka's neck with both hands.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared.
