Leaving the Elven Palace, I sighed and couldn't help frowning.

Elder Lindsay's outrageous performance confirmed part of Akahavi's plan to take control of the Elven Empress.

Clearly, he did.

The situation is now moving in a bad direction.

When I got home, everyone gathered around me and asked me questions, but they all asked about the same thing, they all wanted to know what the Elven Empress was looking for me.

I motioned for everyone not to be too enthusiastic, squeezed back into the couch, took the glass of water that Barbara had handed me, drank it all, and then cleared my throat and explained everything I had said and done in the room.

After hearing this, all of them looked unkind, and unanimously reprimanded Elder Lindsay's behavior, but Princess Analita had a worried face and said, "Xiao Yi, are you telling the truth?" My sister, she's been taken over? ”

I nodded.

"What should I do, what should I do?" Princess Anarita was in a mess, rubbing and walking back and forth, like ants on a hot pan.

"Don't worry, Analita, before I left, the Empress asked you about it, since she still has the extra heart to care about you, doesn't it mean that there is no danger in the environment she is in now, what do you say?"

"Is that so? Is that really the case? Princess Analita began to think crankily: "Could this be a secret word from my sister, I want to say that the environment I am in is very dangerous, in order to protect my sister, I said this, right?" ”

"You think too much, Analita, you must know that everyone except these people in the family who know your true situation still regard you as a girl of unsound mind, and if the Empress is really in danger and cares a lot about the life of your sister, she will definitely not mention anything related to you, this is the best evidence."

I paused and asked her, "Do you understand?" ”

Princess Anarita shook her head, "I don't understand. ”

Sighing, I was a little helpless: "Why did you become stupid when you are usually smart?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

She tilted her head, a puzzled expression.

I winked at Cagalli, "Help me explain." ”

Cagalli covered her mouth and chuckled, and then, she cleared her throat and said, "I'll reexplain to you what Xiao Yi didn't explain." ”

I:

"Analita, let me ask you, if the throne of the elves is now in front of you, and the competition for the throne with you is a person with a mind less than six years old, will you take her seriously?"

Princess Analita muttered, "No. ”

"This is the key to Xiao Yi's words just now," Cagalli said: "Now, whether it is the Elven Empress, or the Elven Elders, or even those who manipulate the Elven Empress behind the scenes, they all think that you are a woman who is less than six years old in mind, do you think they will take you seriously?" ”

"No, it won't."

"Since they didn't take you seriously, or rather, they forgot that you existed, do you think Her Majesty would mention your name if she were in danger?" Cagalli smiled and patted her on the shoulder, shook her head, and said, "Obviously not." ”

"So, that is, my sister's life is not in danger right now, is that what you mean?"

Princess Anarita's eyes looked at me, wanting to seek my affirmation once more.

"That's it."

I smiled and nodded in response.

After eating, I sat in the yard in a daze.

"Xiao Yi, isn't this like you, a man who is not even afraid of death, will sit in the courtyard in a daze with a distressed face?"

The proprietress sat down next to me as she spoke.

Jackson also came over at this time, but was glanced at by the proprietress and walked away stupidly.

"It's not that I'm not afraid of death, it's just that in the face of death, I prefer to face it head-on, rather than huddle in the corner and shiver, it's too ugly."

I sighed and continued, "Besides, it doesn't seem to matter much whether you are distressed or not and whether you are afraid of death or not. ”

"Of course it matters" she looked at me, with a touch of vicissitudes in her eyes: "The reason why people are distressed is not because of fear, and death is a person's greatest distress, you are not even afraid of death, why worry about something that has not happened yet?" ”

"Eh, boss lady, what do I say that I am not afraid of death?"

"Of course you didn't say it, but you did it" The proprietress said: "Don't think that ordinary power can wipe out the tenth layer of space so cleanly, you must still have some unknown terrifying power, but you don't plan to make it public yet, but is there really no price for releasing such a terrifying power?" I don't believe it. ”

She shook her head and continued: "But I prefer to believe that while you release this power, you are ready to die, so you are not afraid of death, but you just don't admit it. ”

Well, I really can't argue with that.

Maybe the proprietress is right, I am not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean that I don't have something to fear.

Lily and Lizzy are running around the garden, and Remy is laughing as she floats above them.

Cagalli sat down next to me, looking at the laughing Remy, and said, "I've already informed her of the appointment, and I've heard that the assistance team won't be in place until later." ”

"You can just do these things, and you don't need to report everything to me."

Her head rested lightly on my shoulder, and as she poured, she exuded a faint fragrance: "Xiao Yi, the border villages of Dasai City have been ransacked by the unknown adventurer team again, and some people say that these things were done by the rogue adventurers' guild in Eri City, and I am a little worried. ”

"Worried about what?"

"War."

I sighed: "Don't worry, there won't be a war yet, it's not time yet, at least, Eri City isn't ready." ”

"How do you know?" She wondered.

"Do you remember the information from the last time" I said, "The second young master of Eri City took Achilles to the northern forest together, and there is no information about their return now, doesn't this also mean that they are not ready yet?" ”

"Is it possible that Achilles they have returned" Cagalli worriedly "through an unknown path." ”

"No," I shook my head, "Do you think a man known as the hero of Ari City would choose to take the path back?" ”

Responding to her bewildered look, I explained: "Anyone who cares about reputation, especially a man, disdains to take the path because they value their own brilliance more than life. ”
