The door was slammed shut.

Asker's mouth was half-open, looking at the people in the room.

Emperor Otto lost his soul, the acid-etched dragon had an indifferent expression, the dragon of fantasy covered his face and sighed, the fire of the furnace Otto had a complicated expression, his brother Ludwig shook his head, and the Duke of Bavaria felt guilty.

Six people with six expressions, Aske was dumbfounded, thinking that this year's bloody drama is nothing more than that, right?

Then he remembered something, and hurriedly said:

"I'm going to chase her back."

"Please." The Duke of Bavaria hurriedly said.

Even the word "you" was used, which shows how troubled the duke was at this time.

But if you think about it, letting the two "fathers" of the Duke of Bavaria or Emperor Otto persuade her will definitely only backfire; On the contrary, Asker, who has a better relationship with her, but has nothing to do with her complicated family relationship, is a more suitable enlightener.

So he said to everyone, and Asker hurried out of the room.

"Excuse me, have you seen a tall blonde?" He called the waiter of the hotel who was passing by in the hallway.

"Oh, she looks like she's gone to the stairwell." The waiter pointed him the way.

Asker rushed to the stairwell, where two paths branched out ahead: up and down.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, his mind recalled the night in the Weissbach Palace, when Eleanor slipped out of the family banquet to meet him.

She should...... Would you choose to go to the rooftop terrace?

What's more, if she chooses to go down and leave the hotel through the lobby on the first floor, it will be difficult to find her. But he was convinced that Eleanor wasn't trying to escape once and for all - she was just looking for a place to be quiet.

Walking up the stairs to the rooftop, and out of the stairwell, Asker saw that the rooftop was empty, except for a few pigeons perched on the railing.

Ah, guessed wrong?

He sighed a little frustratedly, and was about to turn around and go downstairs to continue his search, when he heard a voice from behind him:

"Commander...... You've come to me. ”

"Eleanor?" Asker turned his head and saw Eleanor leaning against the wall next to the door, her hands gently propped back and her body lightly, her face gloomy.

"Here you are." Asker breathed a sigh of relief, "Eleanor......"

"No, you don't." Eleanor whispered, "I know what you're trying to say. ”

"Tell me what I want to say, then?" Asker laughs.

"The strong don't have such troubles, so they have to be stronger." Eleanor said.

"Hey, am I getting stronger?" Asker complained excitedly.

"What's the monster?" Eleanor asked.

"It's a monster that keeps telling you, 'You want to get stronger.'" Asker rambled casually.

"Oh." Eleanor lowered her head, "Asker, you don't need to enlighten me, in fact, I have figured it out." ”

"You figured it out?"

"You see, one can never choose one's origin." Eleanor smiled reluctantly, "But she can choose what kind of person she wants to be." ”

This was quite incisive, so Asker knew that she was not really at the tip of the bull's horns, but was just a little depressed.

"If only you could figure it out." Asker nodded, "Actually, ...... in the long run."

"In the long run, it is undoubtedly easier to realize one's political ambitions by becoming the daughter of the emperor than the daughter of the duke." Eleanor said seriously, "Not to mention that I can have both identities at the same time. ”

"Eleanor, you ......" Aske hesitated. Because Eleanor said this with a demeanor that was so calm that it hardly looked like herself—not like the knight Asker had known before.

"Dirty." Eleanor said.

Asker: ?

"I think it's dirty to have that kind of thinking about myself." Eleanor continued.

Asker breathed a sigh of relief. You see, so it's not the same......

"I don't think so." Asker tried to enlighten her, "It's normal to have such thoughts. ”

"Is it normal?" Eleanor whispered, "If it's the old me...... I hate people who think like that. ”

"There are a lot of things that children hate." Aske laughed, "It's not all 'really fragrant' in the future." ”

"It's so fragrant...... What is the meaning? Eleanor was puzzled.

"That's a classic story." "A long time ago, there was a project where the children of rich families could experience the lives of poor people......," Asker explained.

He told the story of Makata in such a vivid way that Eleanor laughed so much that she burst into tears:

"Really, how can you arrange people like this......"

After laughing, she gradually became a little depressed, and said with relief:

"Actually, I know what you mean, Asker. People like to dwell on their past situations, so they are at a loss for what to do in the new environment, and some people choose to resist, blame themselves, or even deceive themselves...... But life is all about looking forward, right? ”

Asker: ???

Wait, is that what I mean? How did I not know?

"Just like the kid you said. At first, I felt disgusted and difficult to eat when I first experienced the food of a poor family, but it didn't take long for me to get used to it. Eleanor sighed, "And me? It's just the identity of an imperial princess, is it so hard to accept? Am I so hypocritical that I don't even have a child? ”

Asker: ..................

"Uh......" He was about to say something, but Eleanor wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled:

"Thank you, Captain. Whether it's Eleanor of Weissbach or Eleanor of the Empire, they're all part of who I am – and I'm not going to change. ”

"Well, it's good if you figure it out." Asker thought to himself, what else could I say? You can say everything you can say......

"However, if it is the princess of the empire, then how should I calculate the account of my assassination of the emperor before?" Eleanor was distressed again.

"I don't think Your Majesty should mind this." Aske said truthfully, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have come looking for you." ”

"That's not what I said." Eleanor immediately said stubbornly, "After all, he was at fault first, of course I have to stop him...... I mean, since I'm his daughter, then I shouldn't have used assassination, but should have dissuaded it first. ”

Didn't you dissuade you before the assassination? Asker thought for a moment and asked:

"What if he doesn't listen to you?"

"Then I'll use my role as a princess to do things." Eleanor replied, "Unless he is going to break off the father-daughter relationship with me, then I can use violent means." ”

Asker: ..................

So you're not dwelling on the assassination of your father, you just think you should salute before you soldier!

However, today's Eleanor is indeed much more mature than the "naïve Princess Sophie" in the game, although her temper is still exactly the same.
