I walked forward without looking back.

"Princess!" She shouted behind me, "Princess! I don't mean to deceive you! ”

I know maybe she's telling the truth, but there's no way I'm going to believe it.

Yali approached and looked at me cautiously: "Princess......"

"I want to be quiet for a while," I said, "I want to be alone for a while." ”

She stopped, and I walked slowly forward.

Where am I going?

I looked blankly ahead, the tall palace wall, one by one huge stones stacked on top of each other, cold, majestic.

I always thought that I could still protect Xiao Man, but now I found that he was trying to protect me upside down, and he took everything over and did it himself.

I stopped and found myself standing in the courtyard of the temple.

The corridor in front of it, the house, had been empty since the man had left, and the money-grubbing fellow of Kabudana did not like it, and he lived on the other side of the newly renovated courtyard.

There was already a layer of dust in the ground, and even if the blood left by that person that day had not been wiped away, it would have been slowly buried by time. As I stood here looking back at my past, I realized that my memories of people seemed a little unreliable.

The memory of what can be called my first love, under my deliberate forgetting, became indifferent and somewhat unrecognizable.

I walked slowly down the corridor into the empty room.

Probably no one has been here since that day. Before everything happens...... Before he left the palace, I came often, almost every day. The small door at the back of this room also leads to a small shrine where I often pray. I don't believe it myself, but it has to be done just like doing a homework.

Because I had him by my side at that time, praying to God seemed to be a romantic and intoxicating thing. He will also prepare a very luscious juice for me.

I lay down at the table with my head resting on my arm.

But that's all in the past.

Whether I come back to this place or not, the person who has been in this place is gone.

I killed my first love with my own hands.

For the rest, everything ......

It's all here.

I felt tired, not only for today's work, but also for Holdia's secrets.

Strictly speaking, she didn't make any big mistakes.

It's just that I feel sad in my heart.

I don't know how long I was in that empty room, and then I probably fell asleep, but it was the sound of an eager knock on the door that woke me up.

I looked at Arrie who rushed into the room with some blankness, and I didn't understand what she said for a long time, even though I could hear every word.

She knelt down before me and said, "Princess, Pharaoh is dead. ”

I asked blankly, "What did you say?" Who? Who died? ”

"Princess, Pharaoh is dead." Yali buried her head and did not lift it, and said, "Princess...... Hurry up and go. ”

I looked at her blankly: "Where are you going?" ”

"The king's bedchamber."

I walked out mechanically, and I felt like I was in a dream, perhaps, I was in a dream. I'm still in the small room of that temple, asleep, and it's just a dream of mine.

How could Pharaoh die? His vitality is still so vigorous, he still competes with Xiao Man for hunting, and he also accepts one woman after another, he ......

It is true that he is not in his prime, but how could he die?

I tripped and stepped on the hem of my skirt as I went up the steps, a shoddy mistake I almost never made, but luckily Arlie grabbed me.

Pharaoh lay quietly on his bed, as if he were asleep. Xiao Man knelt on the side of the bed, holding one of Pharaoh's hands tightly. His black hair was draped haphazardly.

I walked over to him and slowly knelt down beside him.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes red as if he had lost everything, a badly wounded beast.

"Sister......" He reached over with his other hand and grabbed my hand, he was so hard that I felt like my fingers might be pinched off in his palm.

Little by little, the pain sharpened. I slowly woke up from my daze.

Not a dream......

"Father is dead...... Xiao Man said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, Father is dead." ”

I shook his hand back, I don't know if I was using it or not, but I had used all the strength I could.

Pharaoh lay there lifeless, his chest no longer heaving, his nose no longer open. Those eyes will not open again.

The real feeling is like ice water, slowly flowing into my body, and I feel that my hands and feet are cold and numb, and so is my heart.

I've always ...... Didn't think of him as a real father, he was the father of this body, but not mine. He is also very, he is not as loving as an ordinary father......

He......

He was getting more and more nonsense now, and he couldn't see clearly what was hidden under the beautiful countenances of the women who approached him...... Perhaps, his heart is not as hard as when he was younger, he needs tenderness, he needs ......

Something hot ran down the eyes and dripped.

Xiao Man held my hand tightly: "Sister...... After that, there were just the two of us. ”

I nodded indifferently, I wanted to look away, but I couldn't.

Although I am not close to him, my respect for him is only superficial......

But now that I suddenly lost him, I realized that he had been holding up a safe sky for me and Xiaoman. Under this sky, we do everything with a sense of worry-free. Because, he's always there.

Now, the sky has fallen all at once.

I suddenly felt my legs go limp, and I leaned forward on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Man hugged me: "Sister! Sister! ”

There was an aura in the dormitory...... A breath of death.

I had never felt so real, so close to death. That breath is all around, in the hands, in front of the eyes, in the ears, in the ...... Every breath inside.

Xiao Man hugged me, his tears flowing into my neck, but he didn't cry.

I hugged him back and raised my head to prevent the tears from flowing again.

From that day on, we really, never go back to the past.

The shadow of death hovered overhead, like a vulture, and from that day on, there was not a moment left. We are no longer happy princes and princesses, we have no mothers and no fathers.

Xiao Man became Pharaoh, and I am the Queen.
