"Wouldn't this be a situation where there is firewood but no fire?"

Hearing this, the mood of the bead particles obviously fluctuated a little. But despite this, the hand that helped Jinyu hold her long hair still didn't stop.

"That's right." Jinyu nodded, "But you know, it's not for nothing that I asked you to guess what the girl should do. ”

So Jinyu then spoke, finishing the last paragraph of the story.

……

Tsuki sat on the dark castle tower, she took off her shirt and examined her body.

This body, which is as ordinary as ordinary people, why has it become a symbol of firewood?

Moon found it difficult to understand.

She didn't understand how fate was arranged, and she didn't know why this disaster had to befall her own era, ruining her country and her parents.

Yue put on her clothes and looked at the colorful lights below the castle tower, feeling like she had come to another world.

In the past, there would never be such a wonderful view in the world at night.

Thinking like this, Tsuki raised her head.

Although she grew up in the land of the polar day, she still understands that the color of the sky at night is black.

After all, no matter how dazzling the light on the ground is, it is an artificial sun after all, and it cannot overpower the majesty of the sky.

But today, she finally knew.

It turns out that the color of the night sky is not black at all.

Or rather, not all.

The starry light that twinkled on the black curtain added a whole new landscape to her world.

It turns out that at night, these shiny things appear in the sky.

She looked at the scenery with fantasy, and her heart overflowed with indescribable happiness.

Before this, she had never imagined that the gifts of nature could be so beautiful, and that above the canopy, in addition to the sun and moon, there were also shining stars.

But even on such a once-in-a-millennium night, the people on earth could not see the stars in the sky.

Because the light emanating from their bodies obscures their vision.

They are only allowed to look at the stars once in their lifetime.

That's when they died.

So, Moon is actually the only person in the country who has this privilege.

This is probably also a gift to her as a firewood.

Although the light is now extinguished, she has nothing to do as a firewood.

So, gradually, she lay down.

Lying down and staring at the stars, she began to have some thoughts in her mind.

If another king is elected now, and I am sacrificed to him, will the nation be saved? Will the choice my father made to keep me be made up?

No, that's probably impossible.

My father gave his life not to sacrifice me, and he also brought countless people into dust and smoke. In the end, did I, who should have been sacrificed as firewood, have so many people sacrificed for me?

But, despite this, as long as I am still on firewood, there should still be hope for this country to be saved.

Thinking like this, the girl's heart overflowed with the guilt of the king's death and the sense of responsibility for the whole country.

Sure enough, it was my fault.

If I had known about this earlier, I would have asked my father for a sacrifice.

But what's the use of thinking about it that way?

Now that the wood is in place, the country has become what it is, and all the languages are only pale.

Thinking like this, the girl who fell into the cycle of death finally felt powerless.

But she came to realize that it was not the old traditions that had been carried over since ancient times that could bring the country a solution, but the need to forge a new path.

After all, if her sacrifice could light up a new sun for the country now, the sun would eventually go out, and she would have to seek the next sacrifice, which would fall into a dead loop.

How?

Thinking like this, the girl's thinking circuit fell into a desperate situation again.

But at this moment, a faint light suddenly lit up in front of the girl's eyes.

Attracted by the light, she immediately rose from the ground.

Only then did she notice that it was an old man who gave this light.

After all, the royal city has been breached by the people who rushed in just now, so it is not surprising that anyone walks in now.

But the light emanating from the old man's body looked so faint, as if it was about to be extinguished in the next second. This makes Yue very concerned.

So she crept over to the old man, who didn't seem to see her, and greeted him.

"Hello old man."

She said.

"Hello, you are the princess, the one who can't shine and is not bound by the light."

The old man replied with a smile.

The identity of the princess as a firewood is not known to anyone other than her and the king, and what she is known to the outside world is more as an identity that is not bound by the light.

Seeing that the old man could still recognize himself, Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

She always thought that the old man had come up to look at the stars and then seek death.

"Look at the stars, they're beautiful." The old man raised his hand slightly and pointed to the sky, "This is a scenery that is impossible to see in our country." ”

Because the light around the old man was so faint that he could see the starry sky.

For this, Yue was still glad for the old man in his heart.

But the faint light also meant that the person's life was coming to an end, so Tsuki sighed at the same time.

"yes, it's beautiful, and it's the first time I've seen it." Yue looked at the old man and nodded.

"If you want me to say, I have lived this life, and it is really worth this life to see such scenery before I die." The old man stroked his beard lightly, smiled and shook his head.

Indeed, being able to see the starry sky is indeed the highest luxury for the people of this country.

The old man looked at the sky, smiled, and turned into a cloud of dust and smoke in front of the moon.

Moon didn't even have time to reply to his last words.

She could only stretch out her hand and make a pale and feeble retention.

Even if she didn't know the old man.

So, at this moment, Yue suddenly understood.

She still had to keep the country alive.

Even if the people of this country will never be able to see the stars, as long as they live, as long as civilization can survive, everything is possible.

Forging a new path, while important, cannot be done by her alone.

She had to get people alive before she could talk about her hopes for building the future.

So the girl immediately opened the door and rushed down the stairs to the brightly lit street.

She made up her mind to sacrifice her life.
