If you live to see a man, you will see a corpse when you die......

On the way out of Morlinson, Rita's mind kept echoing the words. In fact, she had heard similar rumors intermittently some time ago, but because she was in the empire, she didn't pay attention to these things, and now it seems that she still needs to pay attention to it in the future.

"Big Sister ......"

"Big sister is fine, little Thor don't worry." Rita lowered her head slightly, and the temperature from her palm made her smile sincerely, although it was a little bitter, but fortunately she was not alone in this world.

"It's as gentle as you heard."

"Captain, ...... you" looked at Dalena with envy on the two in front of her, Bernice wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak, and even the raised arm retracted at the same time.

"Let her be alone, the captain is a previous experience, I think you should know that even we may not be able to bear that kind of pain."

As for this, Ye Lianli didn't say anything more, but her worried eyes kept falling on Dalena and never took her eyes off for half a minute: Princess, you ...... those things at the beginning Haven't been able to get out yet? Don't let down His Highness's hard work.

The expressions of the four people behind him were different, but they all looked at Dalena with obvious concern in their eyes, but Dalena, as the main master, did not know this.

……

Eight years ago, the imperial capital, the palace dungeon

In the damp corner, a small figure curled up, although the gray cloth skirt on his body was intact, it could not hide the bruises on his skin.

Dalena Olnis, eight years old, had lost count of how long she had been in this place, three days, five days, a week, no, maybe longer. The image of her mother lying in a pool of blood still haunts her mind, replaying it over and over again.

As the only person present and alive, she was identified as the murderer of Queen Andrea Olnis, and she knew very well what that meant, escape had long been a luxury, and now all that awaited her was never-ending captivity, nothing more than ......

"Mother's ......"

Whispering with confusion and fear, the girl instinctively clenched her fists, even if the blood oozed and dripped on the ground, she didn't notice it, as if she didn't feel pain.

“……”

"Your Majesty, she's inside."

The sound of thin voices came from far and near, listening to the constantly reverberating footsteps, Dalena slowly raised her head, her immature face was covered with dried tears, and the blue-green pupils were only numb at this time.

"Open the door."

Familiar voices, familiar faces, the man standing in the doorway should have been one of the people closest to her, but at this time, Dalena was only fear.

"Take her into a change of clothes and send her to her room."

The girl's subconscious retreat made the man's eyes suddenly full of coldness, and the disgusted voice seemed to be torture if he looked at it more, and even the action of turning around seemed a little impatient.

This is her so-called father, who can't find the murderer, so he forcibly puts the charge of murder on the heads of his children, and everything is just to make his position more stable.

Sitting in the room of her original memory, although it was only a few days, it made her feel like a world away. And the waiter beside her like the old waiter also made her feel uneasy, and she always felt as if something bad was about to happen.

In the next few days, except for not being able to go out, Dalena's life was as usual. Eating, sleeping, reading, and being in a daze, it's just that the time in a daze is longer, and there is less time to read books. And those experiences some time ago were as if they had never happened, and only the not-so-real memories in her mind kept reminding her.

Like centuries of agony and waiting, the door that was only used for food and drink for half a year has ushered in another purpose today.

"Is it finally here?"

Looking at the man who appeared in front of her, Dalena sat on the bed with her head tilted, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a hint of madness.

"Come with me."

Elias frowned, his voice still full of coldness, although he was a little puzzled about Dalena's state at this time, he didn't take the initiative to explore this, just turned around and left the room after saying this.

Dalena looked at the back of the fast departure, but suddenly lowered her head and laughed, but it didn't take long for her to completely shut up, and when she raised her head again, the blue-green eyes looked dull and dull, without half a luster.

……

Returning to the room half a year ago, Dalena couldn't make waves in her heart for a long time. In the dim light, Dalena glanced at the new addition to the room, the undried blood stain on it had apparently been used not long ago.

"Why, does the father want to use these things on his own daughter?"

Dalena hooked her lips, and the provocative tone coupled with the empty eyes made her look so weird at this time. However, this scene seemed to Elias, who had just turned around, as if he had not seen it at all, but waved his hand from a distance, and then Dalena heard a "clang" sound coming from her feet.

"Bloodletting, do it yourself."

The short words made Dalena sneer, and then very calmly picked up the dagger and looked at it in front of her before saying, "It's really unexpected, I didn't expect that after thinking about so many endings, it would end up like this." But...... How does my father think that I will be obedient and bleed? ”

"I don't mind getting your hands dirty if you don't want to."

Watching coldly as Dalena kept rubbing the dagger with her hand, Elias still had a blank face.

"Well, since my father has said so......" Shrugged his shoulders and walked slowly to the table in the corner of the room, and after seeing the porcelain basin that had been prepared at some unknown time, Dalena's eyes flashed a strange light, "Then I will do what you wish." ”

"Huh!"

The dagger slashed quickly on the wrist, and then a large amount of blood spurted out instantly, and blood splashed everywhere in the porcelain basin, on the tabletop, and on the wall, and the entire cell was occupied by a thick smell of blood for a while. And with the rapid flow of blood, Dalena's face also became extremely pale in just a few seconds, and for a while she only felt that her eyes were black, her hands and feet were cold, and her ears were "buzzing".

Is this what it feels like to lose too much blood? But......

Dalena slowly turned around, and the relieved smile on her face made Eliaston, who had been standing on the sidelines watching all this, realize that something was wrong: "You ......"

However, Elias's words were interrupted by the "clang" sound of the dagger landing before he could fully spit out, and then he saw the girl in front of him fall directly into a pool of blood, just like his queen at that time......

In the end, Dalena did not die as she wished, because Elias hired the High Priestess Mors Cyridd to bring her back to life at some unknown cost.

This incident seemed to be the beginning of a real nightmare, as she would be caught bleeding once a day, followed by a large amount of blood-tonic medicine after each bleeding. Perhaps to prevent her from committing suicide, all the windows in her room were sealed, everything that could hurt people was ordered by Elias to be put away, and even around the room there were a large number of guards, living under the watchful eye of others every minute and every second.

The days were repeated day after day, and the suicidal thoughts in her mind gradually faded under this inhuman torture, and in addition to eating and sleeping mechanically every day, Dalena's life seemed to be nothing but a daze.

Time flew by until one day, five years later, Dalena sat at the table, her head in one hand and the carving knife in the other. She had asked for the knife from Elias yesterday, and because of her cooperation during this time, the man readily agreed to the request.

In addition, the things in her room have been taken back by her one after another since last year, and even the sealed window has been reopened not long ago, and this carving knife can be said to be the only thing that does not belong in her original room.

"But I didn't expect it to be so simple, not only did people send the carving knife over, but even there were so many fewer people watching outside, so confident that I wouldn't commit suicide again?"

Turning her head to glance at everything in the room, Dalena's gaze finally fell on the garden outside the window.

"Of course you don't choose to kill yourself, because you know that even if you kill yourself, you will be rescued."

The sudden voice was faintly concerned, Dalena turned her head to look at the man who suddenly appeared at the door, and her voice was faint: "Long time no see, big brother, I didn't expect that the first person to come to see me was actually you." ”

The tall figure was dressed in golden armor, and the blood stains on it seemed to reveal the previous actions of its owner. Maybe Dalena's gaze was too focused, Angelo followed the line of sight and glanced down and instantly reacted: "I just came down from the battlefield and haven't had time to change, did it scare you?" ”

"It's okay, it's just blood."

Dalena shook her head, her face didn't matter, she had been bleeding for several years without stopping, let alone bloodstains, even if she was asked to take a knife and give it to herself, she wouldn't blink an eye. No other, just because I'm used to the pain.

"Since that's the case, well, big brother is here to ask you a question."

"What?" Dalena raised her eyebrows, still playing with the carving knife in her hand, and her casual tone didn't seem to care much about Angelo's words.

"Do you want to leave?"

"If I can leave." Nodding, Dalena's voice was still flat, as if the object of her words was not her.

"Well, since you want to leave, get ready, I'll come and pick you up tomorrow with Ronald."

With that, Angelo turned and left the room, as abruptly as he came, and he seemed a little hurried when he left. It's just that Dalena didn't know that the reason why Angelo would leave so quickly was because his long stay was likely to cause problems for Ronald.
