Chapter 136: Leave
January 1734 Pamela Lozema
If there is anyone who has the greatest losses in this war, then Yunnell will definitely shout the loudest, after all, most of the country has fallen, and the final battle line has finally stopped not far from the royal city, and their losses are obvious to all. But is Yunel really the biggest loser?
There is no one left in Uccipold to raise such a question. What a time it used to be in the Land of the Dragons, but now all that remains is the ruins and the burning Dragon's Fire. The only survivor was His Royal Highness the Prince, who had changed his name to Wood, and who is still in Pamela's royal palace. But he didn't seem to be planning to go on like this.
"Are you really going to leave?" Leaning against the doorframe, Dana was looking at him intently, and the princess's face was a little displeased. In front of Wood, she always showed a lively side, and today it is more like in front of the Queen.
"yes, I can't stay here forever. Wood was on the table arranging his manuscript paper, the result of his visit, and he had recorded all the customs of Ucepold, the folklore, his relationship with the Wyvern, and everything he could think of, according to his recollections. Ucepold was gone, and these were the only things Wood could do for him, leaving evidence of the existence of this kingdom.
"Won't you consider coming to your mother's court? Wang Nu frowned, looked at the young man's back, and her face was a little tangled, "You should have found out these days, everyone here welcomes you." β
Wood closed his eyes, his face was hesitant at this time, and after a while he opened his eyes again, "I have been in the court since I was born, although the royal palace of Ucepold is not as gorgeous here, but it is actually the same, I have been here for decades, and now that I am out of there, I want to go further afield, Dana." With all the papers in order, Wood walked over to the princess.
"Butβ" The princess's eyes fluttered.
"Please give these to Her Majesty for me, this is all the information I have recorded about Ucepold, I cannot keep it on my own, I hope that Pamela can revise and sort him out, whether it is a biography or a historical record, I only hope that it will be preserved, and that Ucepold will not be completely forgotten by the world. β
"You can revive Ucepold's. Dana didn't lift her hand to take the papers.
"Do I rely on you?" Wood's eyes drooped, "so what's the point? I'm the only one left of the Ucepod, and the revival is just another province of Pamela." "The prince knows very well that only when there are people can there be a country, and there can be no revival without the people. Even re-establishing a nation there would be nothing more than self-consolation.
"You can't think that," Dana shook her head, "maybe there are remnants there, and they're waiting for you to go back." β
"Dana," Wood shook his head, "no one can survive from the mouths of those dragons. β
"Why don't you understand!" Dana snatched the paper from Wood's hand and slapped it on the table, then put her hands on his shoulders, "How long are you going to pretend to be stupid?"
"Danaβ" Wood's eyes flickered, "I promised Her Majesty that we couldn'tβ" The boy's face flushed.
Looking at his evasive eyes, Dana's hands trembled, "I don't expect anything we can do, can't we just stay?"
"I'm sorry, Dana. Wood pushed the princess's hand away, "I'm really sorry. β
Seeing her hand being removed, Dana's eyes darkened, "I hid my mother from being close to you, is that how you responded to me..."
"I'll remember you in my heart, Dana.
Wood raised his hand to caress the princess's face.
"I don't need mercy. Pushing Wood's hand away, Dana smiled a little desolately, "This is my own choice, I will bear it to the end." β
Hearing this, Wood lowered his head, "I'm sorry. β
"Let's go. I'll give something to my mother. Dana said as she stepped out of the doorway, her expression turning cold.
Wood also knew how ruthless such a decision was, and he walked out the door without raising his head or looking at the princess again.
Leaving the room, the boy walked like a fly, and he couldn't wait to escape from that bleak expression.
"Wood?" Just as the boy walked around the corner of the hallway, the Queen's voice appeared.
"Her Majesty. Wood saw Palinda standing around the corner, "I was about to say goodbye to you." β
"Why are you in such a hurry, I don't want you to go. Because of the disappearance of the dragon's body?" Palinda frowned, showing concern.
"Yes, that's the only thing my brother left me, although the dragon is dead, but I can't ignore the disappearance of the corpse, I must find out the truth. Wood clenched his hands, "This is the last dignity of the kingdom of Ucepold. β
"I understand your feelings. The queen looked at him, "According to the sparrows' returns, this is mostly done by necromancers, and now the world is very chaotic, and it is basically impossible for you to find those people." Palinda seemed to want to persuade him to stay.
"I know. Wood nodded, "But I have to go, Ucepold is gone, but I'm still a prince." β
Looking at the boy's insistence, the queen was helpless, this meaningless belief was ridiculous in her eyes, but the boy insisted on going his own way, and she couldn't stop it, "Since you are so firm, I won't say more." I've already arranged the teleportation at the Adventurer's Guild, and the crows in the corridor will give you some salutes, which is a little bit of what I left for you, and you'll have to rely on yourself after leaving here. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Wood bowed deeply, "I will never forget the care you took of me. β
"It's not a big deal, there's only so much I can do. Palinda's face was still a little apologetic, "If you want to come back one day, the gates of Pamela's palace will always be open for you." The queen said as she opened her arms and hugged Wood.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will remember. Wood hugged him tightly.
"Well, watch out on that road. Palinda let go of the hug, "I have to thank you for sticking to our agreement with Dana, now I have to go talk to Dana, let's part with you here." β
"It's all my fault that Your Highness Dana is where he is now... Please don't embarrass Her Majesty. Wood felt guilty.
"How, I've been young, I understand. With that, Palinda patted Wood on the shoulder, "Let's go, don't worry about this anymore when you leave." β
"Well, then farewell, Your Majesty. Wood nodded, turned and walked towards the end of the hallway.
ββββββ
"He's gone. Walking into Wood's room, Palinda saw Dana sitting on the edge of the bed, secretly sad.
"Hmm. The princess nodded, "Mother, I didn't keep my distance from him as you told me. At this point, everything is over, and Dana has no intention of hiding anything anymore.
"I already knew, didn't something happen, I don't blame you. Palinda gently put her hand on her daughter's shoulder, "Your little action has no bad effect except for being sad in the end." β
Dana rubbed her eyes."
It's also strange that the first time I saw him, I was..."Dana couldn't go on anymore "Mother, you have always taught me to use feminine characteristics as weapons, but you have not taught me what women should be like... Is it Sister Sharan?"
"Dana, no one can learn from Sharan, she is abusive, as for the throbbing in your heart, it is actually normal, you are such an age now, and the people I usually let you contact are not like Wood, and at the same time young, handsome, and excellent. Palinda frowned slightly, "It's not strange that the teenager broke the taboo for this feeling, it's not wrong that you're just moving and not out of line." β
"There's no chance to go out of the ordinary. Dana closed her eyes.
Palinda looked at Dana's appearance, and was also distressed, but things still had to be done, "That's it, if he leaves, he leaves, we will send someone to protect him, maybe he will come back, as long as you don't have children with him, I can not interfere in your life." Besides, he is now the only blood left by the royal family, and although I didn't intend to let Ucepold have a mouthful, now that he has appeared, I can't leave it alone. β
Hearing Palinda say this, Dana's eyes lit up, "Mother, send the crows?"
"No, the crow can protect him for a while, after all, he can't go out all the time, and this protection may be years to decades. Palinda shook her head.
"If you want to protect all the time, the best way is to go to his side, to be his companion, his friend, inseparable. "Dana uses her brain" then it must not be a woman, he will be wary and vigilant. β
"Alert, you're going to be jealous, aren't you?" said the Queen, laughing
"Not really. Dana pursed her lips, "I'm just telling the truth. β
"Alright then, who do you say send?" Palinda looked at Dana with a doting look in her eyes at this time.
"Mother, do you remember the crow's male training?" Dana couldn't sit still anymore and she stood up.
"Didn't it fail?" said the Queen, her face unhappy, she had tried to introduce the crows' team to the men, but the training was not effective for the men, and she had to give up.
"Although the plan failed, the people who participated in the training were more or less better than the average people. Now that these men have entered the army and become decent cavalrymen, it should be enough for one of them to protect him. "Dana thought very thoroughly, although the crow's training failed, but the astute consciousness has been successfully cultivated, plus the cavalry training, the physique must be enough.
"As long as you don't go to places that are too dangerous, you can travel on a regular basis. Palinda nodded, "Do you have a pick?"
"Hmm" The princess nodded, "Hawke, the man who can play a few rounds with the crow, I am very impressed with him, I remember that the crow queen also admires him very much, and his combat effectiveness is good, but unfortunately the concealment effect is too bad, and he can't be a crow after all." β
"He... I also have a little impression, okay, you can arrange it, let the crows arrange a chance encounter for them as soon as possible. With a wave of her hand, Palinda told Dana to do it.
"Okay. The princess nodded, and her face was a little brighter.
"Wait, Dana. The queen stopped the princess before she could leave.
"What else, Mother?" said Dana, turning her head.
"He... It can't be your husband after all. The queen reminded her one last time.
"I know. Dana's expression was very serious at this time, "Wardel is no worse than him, and I don't lose." The princess clenched her hands, then turned around and ran out of the room.
"Child..."Looking at the back of Dana leaving at the end, the queen had mixed feelings in her heart, "You are already much luckier than me." β
