Hong Sheng walked into the innermost part of the tent and saw the little girl carved in pink at a glance. Mary, with the same bright red hair, sat on the bed as if she had just woken up, rubbing her eyes in a daze.

Looking carefully at the clothes on the little girl's body, Hong Sheng couldn't help but be stunned: "This is changed from Mary's military uniform?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Hearing this, Atina bowed and nodded: "Since there are no such small clothes in the camp, Mary used her military uniform to make it smaller, and added some rags from the past for the children to wear." ”

Hearing this, Hong Sheng took a deep breath, nodded and asked again, "What's her name?"

"Adele. Atina looked at the girl with doting eyes, but when she thought of the highness beside her, she immediately returned to her serious appearance and added: "Adele-Stryker." ”

At this time, the little girl really woke up from a state of confusion, and after looking around for a week, she immediately saw Atina not far away.

A relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he jumped off the edge of the bed with a cheer, and immediately ran over with open arms.

However, when she saw Hong Sheng beside Atina again, the whole person suddenly stopped, slowly retreated back to the bedside, and gently bowed and stood still.

In his restrained and nervous eyes, there was a little bit of unyielding curiosity, and his eyes kept wandering on the faces of Atina and the strange aunt.

Seeing little Adele saluting her, Hong Sheng couldn't help but be moved.

Three-year-olds, who have learned to be polite?

Looking back at Atina in surprise, she wondered, "Is this taught by Mary?"

"Hmm. Atina smiled and nodded, "Mary taught her, and she hopes that the child will be educated in the future." ”

Then he bowed slightly and signaled, "Your Highness, please take a seat!"

Although Atina has always been wary of Hong Shang in her heart, at least so far, the other party has not made any unusual moves. Then in other words, the other party is still her nominal commander.

There should be no less courtesy, and there is a small blade sharpened by Mary under the pillow. Therefore, before Hong Sheng did not attack, he had to hold the only weapon in his hand.

Hearing this, Hong Sheng glanced at little Adele again, and then nodded and walked to the side of the bed first.

Adele saw the strange aunt slowly approaching, and her whole body slowly retreated from the bed, until there was no way to retreat from the tent, and then she was held in the arms of Atina, who hurried forward two steps.

"Good, Adele. Gently stroking the girl's red hair, Atina comforted her as softly as possible: "This is Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the commander of Atina and your mother. Don't be afraid, Your Highness will not harm you. ”

At this time, Hong Sheng was already sitting at the end of the bed, patting the side and motioning for the two to sit down. Atina didn't dare to disobey the princess's order, but just sat on the edge of the bed slightly, waiting for Hong Shang's next move with anxiety.

At this time, an awkward atmosphere slowly emanated from the air, making the entire camp quiet and eerie.

Hong Sheng originally wanted to say it, but the moment she saw Adele, she couldn't say it. Do you want to tell the truth in front of your child, tell her that because of herself, she is likely to lose her only loved one completely?

Thinking about the consequences once he said it, Hong Sheng couldn't help but hesitate.

After hesitating for a long time, he turned his gaze to Atina's face again: "You, you come out for a while, let's talk alone." ”

After speaking, he got up and walked out.

Atina, who was on guard all her heart, saw Hong Sheng leave far away. Especially when he opened the curtain and walked outside, a doubt suddenly arose in his heart: Your Highness, is this not a child?

The bursts of joy that were born at the beginning eventually turned into uncertain question sentences. Wagner-Tal was so impressed with her, how could Atina dare to believe Hong Sang's words so easily?

After thinking about it for a moment, he carried Adele back to the bed and sat down, and said with a bit of resolute comfort in his tone: "Auntie go out, Adele is good, Auntie will come back and take you to the bath in a while." ”

After that, he forced a smile and stroked the girl's head before turning away. The sentence just now was not so much to comfort Adele as to take the opportunity to comfort Atina herself.

It didn't feel like a private conversation, but more like reading out the last words before the trial. Opened the curtain and saw the princess looking out of the curtain window in a daze, and before she could speak, she was stunned by Hong Shang's words.

"Mary is a lifesaver for me!" Hong Sheng sighed and turned around, looked into Atina's eyes and continued, "So I'm trying to find a way to repay her, and all the guards have already set out to find Mary." ”

"If!" Speaking of this, Hong Sheng involuntarily lowered her head and pursed her lips: "I said that if you can only find Mary's body or relics in the end, Adele will be taken care of by you as my daughter-in-law." ”

Atina was completely stunned at this time, the meaning of Hong Shang's words was very obvious, and it also revealed an important detail.

That is, after the two of them both entered the water, it was Mary who somehow saved her. By means that he is likely to be dead, he will leave everything in the future to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As for how this bet will end?

At least from Hong Shang's words, Atina's heart was shocked and moved.

She really wanted to yell now, "Mary, you didn't believe the wrong person, the princess won't hurt Adele!

However, this sentence could only be shouted in his heart, but on the bright side, he immediately knelt on his knees and fell down with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, thank you Your Highness for your generosity!"

Hong Sheng didn't dodge at all, and a trace of approval and recognition flashed on his face.

With Atina pressed her forehead against the upper of her shoes, she thought for a moment before nodding her head, "The island's rivers are extremely dense, and it's catching up with a storm now. All the guards add up to only a hundred, so I'm going to give you a mission. ”

"Your Highness, please command. Atina's eyes lit up: "We will do our best to complete it!"

"There is a stone flower on the island that likes to grow in dark and damp places. Speaking of this, Hong Sheng turned around and looked out again: "It will bloom in the storm, and it will wither immediately when the rain stops, and all of you will go out to pick three flowers for me." ”

The moment she fell into the water, Mary's mind flashed with her daughter's face. If the princess dies and she doesn't, both of them and Atina will eventually die.

Therefore, while there was still a little strength in the end, Mary had to choose to hold Hong Shang.

As a result, she didn't even have the strength to hold her breath for the last time. The moment two mouthfuls of water choked into her lungs in the rushing river, Mary knew she would not survive.

It's just that I don't know how long it took for Mary to wake up from the surrounding low temperature. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was lying on the beach of an underground cave.

A faint glow of cold fungus intermittently extends into the cave. Raising her hand and touching her still warm cheek, Mary knew that she was not dreaming, but indeed surviving!
