There are only three people in the deep palace, and time always passes slowly and uninterestingly. Lan Qing had been waiting outside the ice-blue dormitory gate, as if there was nothing else to do. Bing Lan stayed in his room all day, except for going up to the roof to watch the sky for a while, but he didn't know what to do in the room.

On the premise of not knowing the situation for the time being, Liu Feng had no choice but to sit idly in the courtyard and act as the guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Such a princess, no one will be interested in assassination, right? Is this how she lives every day? Liu Feng sighed secretly, and even a little sadness rose in his heart. Isolated from the forest, the giant trees are meaningless, even if they are dressed in glow clothes.

This was the case until the evening, when Lan Qing left for a while to prepare dinner, and none of the three people in the courtyard moved their positions.

"It's part of the practice, but it's going to test my patience!" Liu Feng said to himself. After half a day, he can be said to have nothing to do, the so-called bats generally do not appear outside the nest during the day, and he has never found traces of his nest in any corner, which means that his mission has encountered a bottleneck from the beginning. Unlike killing enemies, this kind of daily task is often proposed by people in the palace, and as a knight, in the face of such a task, it is naturally very difficult.

"Come and eat with us." Lan Qing came to him and said.

"Together? And Her Royal Highness the Princess? Liu Feng's eyes widened suddenly, he had the impression that the status of knights should not be high enough to that extent, right?

Lan Qing said lightly: "It's deserted enough here, Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't care, why do you have to be verbose." With that, she turned and walked away. Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then had to smile bitterly: "Okay." ”

Unlike what they imagined, but it was reasonable, they didn't enjoy several kinds of food in a luxurious restaurant with bright lights. In the princess's bedroom, on a small table, there were a few light small plates, just enough for three people to eat, but for men, it was absolutely impossible to eat enough.

"Let's eat, Lan Qing's cooking skills are very good!" Seeing Liu Feng enter the dormitory, Bing Lan immediately smiled. It was inconceivable that he sat at the same small table with the princess and her maids, and if it had been in the past, he would never believe that the princess's diet would be so simple, and he would not believe that he would sit at the same table with the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor.

"You seem to have something special to ask, just ask, I said don't have to be restrained." Bing Lan looked at Liu Feng's eyes and said casually.

Liu Feng hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Why?" Everything here, summed up in one question, why? ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, ...... you" Bing Lan was about to answer yes, but Bing Lan interrupted, she looked at Bing Lan's gaze, revealing a little inquiry.

Shaking his head with a smile to show that it didn't matter, Bing Lan immediately said to Liu Feng: "Because, since I was born, I was destined to be a sacrifice." ”

"Sacrifices?" Liu Feng repeated, for fear that he had heard it wrong.

"Well," Bing Lan nodded, "It is precisely because I am a sacrifice that I was given the name of a saint when I was born." The Holy Maiden does not lead the world to become faith, but ...... Follow the heavens and become gods. ”

only felt a "boom", Liu Feng seemed to be struck by lightning, and he said with some difficulty: "That, then you ......"

Bing Lan nodded indifferently: "Well, in two months, I am going to die, being granted the Ritual of Fire, burning the body, and the soul rising, which was decided eighteen years ago." ”

Swallowing his saliva unconsciously, Liu Feng's heart was already as dark as a hole, "She, how on earth can she say these words with a smile?" How can she spend so many years so calmly with a smiling face? He didn't know if the saint could really become a god after she died, but he knew how painful it was to be burned by fire as a human being, not to mention, as a saint, she would probably have to be seen off by tens of millions of people in front of the public, ending her life from tragedy and ending from tragedy.

"Now that I've said this, I'll tell you the truth, in fact, there are no bats at all, and it's not easy for you to find a wild bird in the sky above the imperial city. I was just...... I'm going to die in two months, at least, I can see some people who can talk to each other in person......" At this point, Bing Lan's words finally had a little sadness. And it is precisely this emotion that has not been revealed until now that it is particularly painful.

"So, don't you really want to be a knight? So just stay here for a month and a half, and then come back and report, and I will recommend you to become a royal knight if you complete the task perfectly! Bing Lan quickly withdrew the sadness that came out of it, and said to Liu Feng with a smile.

"She is going to die in two months, and I, I have a month and a half to report, if there is a delay, I will be disqualified, then after I leave, she will be alone with her maid, with the last few days of her life......" Holding back the anger and trembling in his heart, he finally nodded lightly: "Okay." "It's not to complete the mission, it's not because he can become a knight after a month and a half of easy stay, but he really wants to help this girl who has been doomed to tragedy since birth.

"You said it! Thank you! Bing Lan suddenly laughed happily like a little girl, as if the death and pain that were about to befall her did not exist. And this made the smile on his face even more reluctant.

"But I still have to warn you, Your Highness Liu Feng, if you do anything unruly to the Holy Maiden during this period, you will die an ugly death." Lan Qing, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, and the expressionless expression on her face made people wonder if she knew how to laugh.

"That's natural, I, as a quasi-knight, can't do such a thing." Liu Feng is serious, of course, he does think so on the surface.

"Huh? Is this princess so unattractive? Bing Lan said with a look of grievance.

"Your Royal Highness! In front of outsiders, pay attention to the words! ”

"What does it matter, it's just three people anyway......"

"That's not going to work either! As a saint, you can't joke around at will and lose your grace no matter what! Even with the last two months, I'll keep reminding you, Your Highness. ”

In the dormitory, Lan Qing's reprimand and the princess's laughter were heard all over the hall, which eased the originally somewhat gloomy atmosphere a lot. It's just that what makes Liu Feng a little uncomfortable is that this maid is too serious, doesn't she know how big the fear of death is, even such a tragic death can't be exchanged for a few days of her casual life?
