Chapter 49: Unwillingness
Fival Empire.
The imperial capital, Hua Feilun, was a luxurious palace built on a high hill in the center of the city.
Filina. Toil. Chelse, the leader of the Aurora Regiment, one of the three major legions of the fearless Fival Empire, is a genius, and also a strong man in the epic field, with a personality as arrogant as talent, except for the strong, no one wants to be recognized and faced by her, but even so, in front of the imperial king, she has to bow her arrogant head and half-kneel on the ground to report to him.
The monarch of the Fivar Empire, the ruler of King Simair, an old man of many years, from his hair to his long beard, white as if he had reached the end of his life, with an old face, full of deep wrinkles, and eyes that seemed to be hidden in them, as if squinted, was such a man, dressed in well-cut clothes, wearing a golden crown that symbolized status, sitting on a throne in the palace, a kind and feared king.
After a long time, King Simair spoke, and he seemed a little tired, and said, "I see, you should step back first, Filina." ”
Filina, who was half-kneeling, said, "I know, Your Majesty." ”
After that, Filina's figure disappeared into the palace gate.
Standing beside King Simal was the loyal Duke of Wright, who said with concern: "Your Majesty, you look tired, you should go back and have a good rest first." ”
King Simal waved his hand and said, "No need, this is just a manifestation of the uselessness of the body, don't worry about it, but how is the progress of what I asked you to do?" ”
A subtle gleam flashed in King Simman's eyes, and Duke Wright naturally understood, and said with a smile: "At this stage, it has been roughly completed, and as long as you get that thing next, Your Majesty's plan should be realized." ”
King Simair raised his hand, which was full of wrinkles and age spots, and said impatiently, "What an ugly body, I can't wait." ”
Duke Wright, a gentleman in his words and deeds, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it only takes a certain price to get back that kind of thing, and it won't make you wait too long." ”
King Simair looked suspicious in his eyes and said, "Are you saying that the price I paid is not enough, Wright?" ”
Duke Wright smiled and said, "Probably." ”
King Simar fell into deep thought, and said for a long time, "I know, I will pay the corresponding price." ”
The sick old man King Seeman's eyes seemed to have made up his mind, and Duke Wright just saluted him and said, "I understand, my esteemed majesty, I will not let you down." ”

………
A private mansion surrounded by green mountains and green waters, the residence given to Filina by King Siman.
Taking off her armor and changing into her usual personal clothes, letting her red hair spread behind her freely, Filina sat alone on the balcony quietly drinking the black tea made by the servant, looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
The prophecy of the destruction of the White Sage, the order of His Majesty, the appearance of the lich......... Is there any connection between this? Filina's brain was a little insufficient, and she suppressed the thought, preferring to use the weapon in her hand to divide the victory with others than to think about it.
Ah, by the way, that stinky lich doesn't know if he'll see him next time, and if he does, he won't let him run away again! Filina thought.
At this time, the maid walked in and said respectfully, "Lord Filina, Princess Amiya wants to see you. ”
Filina said in a surprised voice with some surprise: "Ah, she's here?!" ”
Princess Amiya is the fourth princess of the empire, and she Filina has been good friends since childhood, and the relationship between the two is very good, like confidants.
Filina came to the hall and gave Amelia a big hug, saying, "I miss you so much, Amiya!" ”
Amiya looked helpless and said, "You're still the same, Filina." ”
Taking Amiya's little hand, Filina happily pulled her into the living room and asked, "How did you have time to come this time?" Haven't you been learning spells from Archmage Rene? It's been a long time since I've seen you here. ”
There seemed to be a hint of resentment in Filina's tone, and Amiya also heard it, she smiled slightly, her mood seemed to become low, and said, "I'm sorry, Filina, I don't think I will have time to play with you in the future." ”
Filina was surprised: "Did something happen?" Tell me, if anyone bullies you, tell me, and I promise to beat him up! ”
Seeing Filina's sworn appearance, Amiya's mood also changed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Filina, having a friend like you is the best thing I have ever encountered in my life." ”
Crystal tears began to appear in Amiya's eyes, and Filina suddenly panicked, while instructing the maid to find something to wipe her tears, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, don't cry, Amiya!" If you are wronged, just tell me, don't cry. ”
Amiya covered her face and said bitterly, "I, I still have two months to marry the prince of the Yolaelil Empire. ”
It was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Filina came to her senses, grabbed Amiya by the shoulders and asked, "Why?!" Is it Your Majesty?! ”
Amiya nodded, choked up: "Your Majesty said that in order to strengthen the friendship between the two countries, he wants me to marry that Prince Jemur, every time I see Your Majesty, I, I can't say the reason for refusing, I'm sorry." ”
Filina knew Amiya's character, very weak, as delicate as her appearance, she was quite a gentle person, she seemed to have made up her mind, she took Amiya's little hand and comforted: "It's okay, I'll go to Your Majesty to theorize, I won't let you marry, you are my only good friend, I won't let anyone snatch you!" ”

………
Felina half-knelt in the hall, she looked at the king on the throne, and said pleadingly: "Your Majesty, please take back the marriage contract, Princess Amiya is just an ordinary person, and is it too reckless to let her marry someone she has never seen?" ”
A look of disgust rose as King Simmond said, "Are you dictating my decision, Filina?" ”
Filina realized that she was too extreme, but she still did not give up, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean that, I think, this is unfair to Amiya, she is also your child, let your child be unhappy, are you really willing?" ”
King Simonel's expression did not react, he waved his hand to signal Filina to leave, and while getting up from the throne, he said: "General Filina, you just take care of your Aurora Regiment, political affairs, don't ask too much, it will not benefit you, whether it is for you or your family." ”
Filina's heart suddenly cooled, and the little courage she had was exhausted by King Simon's profound words, and she clenched her fists unwillingly.
