Volume 1: Arrogance Chapter 51: The Sensitive Body
"No, I've eaten something since I woke up, and I'm not hungry now."
Rita smiled, but the smile on her lips looked slightly stiff.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll go get some food first. In addition, if Miss Rita goes to see the princess, it is best to wait for a while, because Sister Ye and the others are helping the princess take a bath. ”
"I see."
Nodding her head at the back of Bernice leaving, Rita could still understand the fact that Dalena was taking a bath, after all, since the beginning of treatment, due to various reasons and inconveniences, the two of them had not taken a bath. It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, the body is not as uncomfortable as I imagined, you must know that this body is extremely sensitive, once you haven't taken a shower for more than two days, your whole body will itch.
Could it be that the force?
Thinking about this, Rita couldn't help but have doubts. Just like this force of unknown origin, she always felt that something was interfering with her, and she had always encountered some indescribable things recently, and Rita's heart was faintly uneasy. Of course, this is only due to the fear of the unknown as a human being, and in other words, Rita has long been accustomed to these strange gods, after all, she has even experienced such things as death and rebirth, and she really didn't pay attention to those dangers on the surface, but ......
Is his rebirth really just accidental?
The light in Rita's eyes sank slightly, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was definitely some secret in it. Of course, it's not that she's narcissistic and suspicious, thinking how special she is, it's just that there are so many people in the original world, but she was reborn, and I've never seen such luck when I buy a lottery ticket. Coupled with the sudden changes that have taken place on the continent during this time, Rita feels that she is very likely to be involved in something bad.
What is it exactly?
There are all kinds of doubts hidden in her heart, and Rita knows that this matter is definitely very related to this power in her body, as well as the original owner of this power...... And she always felt like she had forgotten something, as if she were ...... Someone erased the memory.
"Miss Rita, what's wrong with you?"
In the open space of the bamboo forest, Ye Lianli and Rita sat side by side, looking at the girl who had not said a word since the beginning, Ye Lianli always felt weird, but she couldn't say what was to blame. And since listening to the psychological theories that Rita said, Ye Lianli has become more and more aware that the woman next to her has a deep secret, but Rita will not ask if she doesn't say it. After all, they are only more familiar than strangers anyway, and although they have similar temperaments, they can't do it for the time being.
"Nothing, just thinking of something that used to be in Evel."
Her thoughts were pulled back by Ye Lianli's soft inquiry, Rita smiled and shook her head, but the bitterness at the corner of her mouth made Ye Lianli feel a pang in her heart: "You...... Can you tell me about your time in the Duchy of Evel? ”
"What? Are you interested in this? Rita turned her head to look at Ye Lianli, and then before she could answer, she directly recalled, "The previous life...... It's a lot more comfortable to say than it is now, at least...... There are not so many things to worry about. ”
Ye Lianli nodded and didn't say anything, just quietly listened to Rita's story.
As the only princess and heir of the Duchy of Evel, in addition to being strict in terms of education, Rita's parents can be said to be a written model for spoiling their children, at least as long as Rita wants them, they will try their best to get them.
"When I was a child, my body was weak, but fortunately, my father and mother were very kind to me, so that I didn't die so early, they kept looking for famous doctors on the mainland, and used countless medicinal materials to barely adjust my body to the level of a normal person. So I tried to learn all kinds of ways to govern the country, and I wanted to help them protect the country of Evel, but ...... I am not capable enough, and my talent in this area can be said to be very poor, of course, I also thought about learning martial arts, but ......"
Speaking of this, Rita couldn't help lowering her eyelids, in fact, she was very grateful to her parents in this life, although due to physical congenital deficiencies, but fortunately they did not give up on themselves. In her previous life, her parents died early due to various reasons, and she also suffered from a very serious mental illness during that period of time, and even her original intention of becoming a psychiatrist was to hope that more people like herself would be redeemed and get out of this abyss.
As for learning martial arts...... She couldn't even hold a dagger, let alone learn martial arts to kill the enemy.
"Rita, you ......"
"I'm fine, although I couldn't learn martial arts at the beginning, but it's not very good now." Rita grinned and pulled her right arm to show her strength, but how could Ye Lianli, who had always been sensitive, not see the forced smile of the person in front of her?
"I heard that Dawn Moon Evelina is your guard knight?"
In order not to let Rita continue to be depressed, Ye Lianli simply changed the topic. Because of the relationship between her during this time, she also checked a lot of records of the Duchy of Evel in the intelligence department when she went back this time, and naturally she knew how good the relationship between Xiaoyueluo Evelina and the princess Rita in front of her was, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was like sisters.
Coupled with the extraordinary military talent and ability of Xiaoyueluo Evelina, she was naturally reused by the Duke of Evel: she established the Black Rose Knights, was given a surname and title, and had the power to mobilize the entire army of the Duchy of Evel, and it was even rumored that she was recognized by the Duke of Evel as a righteous daughter, enjoying a status and treatment second only to Rita.
"Do you know? She is indeed my knight of the guard. ”
At the mention of Xiao Yueluo, Rita suddenly burst out with a completely different expression from before: "When I first met her, I was fascinated by her eyes, although they were full of despair, they also revealed a glimmer of hope. I told my father to take her to the palace to study with her, and although she was only a maid at first, Xiao's talent in martial arts was soon discovered, and as Xiao's strength grew, I begged my parents to let her be my bodyguard. Because I know that only in this way can she have better room for development, after all, the maid is just a subordinate. ”
"But the knight of the guard is different, having a knighthood, although it is only the lowest one, but it is much better than being a lady-in-waiting. Later, I gave up studying martial arts and was bent on how to make the principality stronger, and the original purpose of my cultivation was probably the same. ”
Rita looked up at the sky, her eyes full of tenacity: "Because I understand that if Evel is not strong, the only thing waiting in the end is to be annexed, although it is poor in governing the country and martial arts, but fortunately, I know how to use people, and even Hexiao established the Black Rose to better protect Evel." ”
"You said you built the Black Rose with Miss Evelina?"
Ye Lianli's eyes widened, she obviously couldn't believe this news, you must know that although it is easy to establish a knight order, the knight order you want to establish becomes strong is not just a matter of words, funds, training, and getting along are all essential, and Rita ...... After all, as the only princess and heir of the Duchy of Evel, Rita's frail affairs are naturally recorded in the information, but can a frail person really establish such a powerful knight order?
Despite having someone like Everina on your side to help, are you sure you're going to build and not drag your feet?
Ye Lianli was a little speechless, not that she looked down on her or thought that Rita was lying to her, but there were some things that had no precedent and made it hard to believe, and Rita seemed to see this before answering, so she said: "I think you may have misunderstood something, the Black Rose is indeed not wrong that I established it with Xiao, but I just helped to pay attention and ensure all the needs of the Knights, and I have not interfered in training." ”
As a modern-educated Rita, she has always adhered to this code of conduct even after being reborn, and she will definitely do her best to do what she can do, and she will not care about some things that she can't or can't meddle in.
Of course, there is one more thing that Rita didn't say, that is, the members of the Black Rose, except for the people who took the initiative to participate in the elimination from all over the world, more than half of the members of the Black Rose were taken by Rita and thrown into it in various ways, although the members themselves did not know.
"I see."
Rita's words made Ye Lianli no longer have doubts, after all, she had seen the thinking of the people in front of her, and that unique idea was indeed possible to create a knight as powerful as the Black Rose.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, isn't Dalena awake? Tell me how she's doing. ”
Rita patted her face, took a deep breath, and once again placed this dusty memory in the corner, she still cared about people now, so she couldn't stay in the past. As for the pain...... Just let them go with the wind.
"The princess's body is indeed fine, even if I don't know why she recovered so quickly, but such a result is a good thing in any way, but I don't know much about the mental aspect you said, so you should go and see it for yourself later."
Talking about Dalena's condition, Ye Lianli's voice unconsciously became relaxed, and although Rita thought that it was a collapse of her personality, she would not be surprised if she saw too much.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on Dalena's side for a while, and I'll leave when I'm sure there's no problem."
Rita spread her hands, although she knew in her heart that Dalena's condition had stabilized, no one could say anything about her mental problems. After all, even in modern times, there is no very effective treatment, and if Dalena has a relapse after she leaves, then her previous efforts and her sins will be in vain. Besides, she also wanted to find out what that force was all about, so it was better to stay a little longer, and she should give herself a vacation.
