Chapter 3: Another Princess
"Are they dead?" The girl curiously knocked on one of the "ice sculptures".
"Dead," Dimiteo sighed, "frozen from the inside out." It's impossible to wake up again. β
"Is it really an unrealistic fantasy that people who are frozen in ice can live even if they live for thousands of years?"
"This kind of ordinary ice won't work." Dimi said. β¦β¦ Isn't there something strange about her focus?
"By the way," said the girl, turning to Dimi, "if you want to apologize, do it now." β
Dimiteo blinked. He didn't expect the girl to be so straightforward.
In fact, he has already completed a draft of "too reckless in the bottom, please forgive me" in his heart......
"Under ......"
The girl sighed. I wish Linna could be half as polite as he was.
"In order to prevent you from lingering any further," said the maiden after Dimi's simple but sincere apology, "I will give you a reassurance." β
Dimiteo blinked. What does it mean to be a girl?
The girl took out her "Bright World" from the dimensional bag. Dimiteo watched him do so in a blank manner.
ββ¦β¦ That's it. Drink! β
Without warning, the girl struck Dimiteo in the abdomen with the handle of the "Bright World". Dimi was caught off guard, and with a "hmm" sound, he took a few steps back and almost fell.
"Then you don't have to worry about it." The girl said happily.
"This umbrella ......" Dimi covered his aching stomach, but his eyes fell on the golden parasol in the girl's hand, "It's a secret weapon......
"You didn't fly out upside down......," the girl was surprised, "Oh, you still have the 'Sky Dome' in your hand." β
"The World of Light?" Dimi stared at the parasol.
A few days ago, when Dimi was still in the French Kingdom, he received a spell communication from Victor, saying that the "Bright World" had reappeared in the Empire, and the holder was a woman named "Victoria". I didn't expect to meet in this poor country.
"I thought you'd be a little more surprised." The girl was surprised.
"No...... If you think about it carefully, you can understand," Dimi straightened up, his lower abdomen was still burning hot, "You are not a robber, but there are indeed no footprints of you outside the camp, which means that you appeared directly in the camp, and it is very likely that you flew in." In this way, there is a good chance that you are a mage or a mystical warrior. You can go head-to-head with me with the 'perfect body', and you don't look like a mage...... Fortunately, a bright world. β
Even if the girl doesn't show her parasol, Dimi can figure it out with a little time.
But......
It turns out that you are the "bright world" that Victor said...... Dimi thought, judging from Victor's grumbling communications, that the "Bright World" seemed to be causing him a lot of trouble......
"So you should understand that I don't need your help to deal with those robbers," said the girl calmly, "well, now I accept your apology." We flattened out. β
Dimiteo shook his head and smiled bitterly. If only he had understood earlier, he thought.
"What do I call you?" Dimi asked.
He knew the girl's name, but the etiquette of a common name was still essential.
"I'm Baroness Ansel, Victoria of Light," said the girl, "and like Linna and Victor, you can just call me Victoria." β
"I'm 'Sky Dome' Dimiteao." Dimi said. He didn't say more. There may be many people in the world who have the same name as him, but everyone knows that the owner of the "Sky Dome" is the future heir to the throne of the Empire, Prince Dimiteau Rodrigo Greccia.
Seeing that Dimi still looked depressed, the girl patted him on the shoulder: "I don't think you need to be depressed. At least, you're not as rude as 'someone'......"
The image of Lin Na appeared in the girl's mind,
ββ¦β¦ Nor is 'somebody' like to play tricks," the girl thought of Victor again, "and you've maintained the integrity and alertness of a good warrior, Dimi. You're doing a pretty good job in that regard. β
Dimiteau didn't know that the two "someone" that the girl complained about were his sister and friend, so he nodded blankly.
"Even the best mages can't do it all," said the girl, walking to the nearest plank room, "I think we'd better go in and talk." In the snow, I was almost freezing. β
"I'm going to get some firewood." Dimi said, walking in the direction of the firewood house.
[Aren't you going to help him?] Xiao Wei asked.
[He is working voluntarily. The girl replied lazily.
----------------------------
Two days before the girl met Dimi.
About a hundred miles away, in the hall of a castle.
The Imperial legation from the French state of Elrios returning to the imperial capital was stationed here. After the departure of Prince Dimiteo, the current head of the mission is Princess Albina.
Compared to her twin sister Linna, Princess Albina Grecia is more mature and stable. She looks like Lin Na, her beautiful long golden hair is tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head, she is heroic, but she has a calm and unhurried temperament.
Princess Bina, who carries the great sword "Judgment Blade", is now standing by the window. The owner of the castle, a local earl, stood cautiously aside.
Two years earlier, the young earl had inherited the title and domain from his father. What he didn't expect was that a court mage who had served the old earl for many years took out a "old earl's will", declaring that the old earl would give him half of the territory before he died.
The Count decided that the will of the mage named David Sahel was forged. The two sides were at a stalemate for two years. Eventually, Master David Sahel lost patience and secretly kidnapped the Earl's new wife in an attempt to force him to comply.
The young earl did not dare to send troops to rescue his wife, lest Master Sahel tear up the ticket. In the midst of his despair, the returning Princess Bina and her fiancΓ©, Peter Cliff, pass by with a delegation of imperial envoys. Persuaded by Cliff, the young earl confided in the two of them about the predicament he faced.
Without hesitation, Cliff travels alone to the kidnapping site to rescue the hostages, while Bina stays behind to protect the Count. The enemy is a greedy, cunning mage who must beware of jumping off walls.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
The Count, who was standing beside Bina, couldn't help but speak. He was about twenty years old, and his appearance was elegant, but he could not hide the anxious look between his eyebrows.
"You don't have to stay in front of me," he said, "and please come to the aid of Master Cliff as soon as possible." My guards are loyal. I can protect myself. β
Albina glanced at the young count.
"No," said Albina, "I believe Peter. This level of danger is nothing to him. We just have to sit here and wait for the good news. Nothing is more important than your safety. The "Peter" in her words naturally refers to her fiancΓ©, Peter Cliff from the French state.
"Sahel, like Lord Zunfu Cliff, is a Blue Sky level mage......" The Earl was so anxious that he forgot that Bina and Cliff were not officially married.
"Peter is no ordinary Blue Sky mage," Bina said firmly, "Your lady will be safe and sound, and the murderer will definitely be brought to justice." β
