"Young lady. I'm afraid we're really going to face a decisive battle this time...... The final decisive battle, the decisive battle of life and death. This time, I'm afraid the barbarians are really going to move seriously. ”

On the south bank of the Daling River, in the depths of the heavily guarded army, in a quiet room, Caiyun stood behind the girl, and she said in a low voice.

"Well, that's good......"

The girl was looking at a photo in her hand stupidly, and a low response voice came out of her mouth gently, and her voice was very indifferent.

"It's a bad situation, in case ...... You still have to be prepared to retreat, leaving a way back - if the battle is irreversible, you must retreat with us first. ”

Caiyun thought for a moment, and she said again.

"No, so be it."

The girl continued her coldness.

……

"Young lady, even if it is ...... Think about the little master and the little lady too...... According to the young lady, she had already mobilized two ships and was ready to send them to Nanlu in advance in case of any change...... You fight for the Empire, I have no objection to this, but in case ...... You'll have to think about the next step, right? ”

Caiyun was suddenly in a hurry, and she said with anxiety and hesitation.

"Well, good, once ...... It's okay to let Qi'er and Shuang'er go to Nanlu......"

The girl still didn't look back, she gazed tenderly at the smiling youth in the photo, as if looking at her only cherished treasure in this world.

"As for me...... You know, I just miss him......"

The girl's cold, slender fingers couldn't help but brush over the young man's face.

"You go and give a magic word to Ning'er, let her wait for Qi'er and Shuang'er to grow up, and tell them: Mother looked for her father, but she didn't find it. My mother now decided that if that didn't work, she would look somewhere else...... Been looking for so long...... Anyway, I have to find him, and I can stay with him to feel at ease...... Let them not worry about us. ”

She muttered under her breath.

……

Caiyun's complexion changed several times, and she wanted to speak several times, but in the end she only looked at the photo and the girl with a fastuated face in front of the photo. It turned into a deep sigh.

"Young lady, the deputy chief of staff is visiting in the summer, and it seems that there is something important to discuss with you."

A retainer from the Far North knocked lightly on the door and said.

The girl's brow furrowed.

"Let him in."

She gently placed the photo on the table, carefully wiped the little tears that fell on the young man's face at some point, and commanded indifferently.

……

"Your Highness, this is the case......"

There was silence in the room, only the young man's soft words kept ringing, and finally, Xia said softly. I glanced at the girl in front of me expectantly.

"Oh, I see, the aura can't be broken, it is. In case that happens, I'll just stay put, and that's okay. ”

The girl's expression didn't seem to change at all, and she said indifferently.

"But you ......" summer is a bit of a mouthful.

He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't want to say it because he thought about something else.

He seemed to want to see the girl again. He didn't dare to look at it, he stared at the water cup in his hand for a long time, but finally nodded and said in a low voice: "I will strengthen the strength of your escort group." And in case the war is ...... If there is no way to recover...... I will give you the earliest possible notice to evacuate. ”

He finally looked up and gave the girl a deep look. But he said so with a gentle look in his eyes.

……

"No need, Third Highness, thank you for your kindness."

The girl's eyelids were lowered, and she was still staring at the picture she had placed on the table. He said coldly.

Summer glanced at the photo of the girl, his face was very strange, and his eyes mixed with regret, envy and other expressions flowed out of the young man's eyes. At the same time as the girl's gaze converged on the photo, the smiling young man's face.

Then, the look of summer began to show a hint of anxiety again.

This is a member of the royal family who is deeply loved in the army because of his excellent command ability, and a young commander who has always been known for his calmness. But I don't know why.,It seems that every time in front of the girl.,It's always a little overwhelmed.。

……

A little sweat trickled down the young man's forehead, and he thought and thought, but finally persuaded him: "Your Highness, you should take care of your useful body. ”

"What if...... Please cherish yourself. ”

"Even if I can ...... The West will not necessarily be defeated, and humanity will not necessarily perish. And you...... You will be valued and revered everywhere! You are the only descendant of His Highness Shu's soul vein, and the owner of the glory of His Majesty the God of War and the Goddess of Frost, and the powerful protection that any army can hope for—as long as humanity exists for one day, you will be loved by all. ”

He said very earnestly.

The girl finally took her eyes off the photograph, and she quietly looked at the young man in front of her, staring at him coldly for a long time.

More and more beads of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead in the summer's eyes, and he seemed to be a little more and more overwhelmed.

……

"Third Highness, some of your thoughts, maybe I understand. You have always taken good care of me and come to see me often, and your life in the barracks has also been well arranged by you. ”

"I know you may ...... me"

The girl spoke slowly, and Summer breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was tighter than the girl's words.

He looked at the girl with a little evasion, but also with some expectation.

"But I only belong to Shainin, he is my husband, was, is, and always will be, even if he is in another world...... Also. ”

The girl gave him a strange look, and then lowered her gaze to the table, and she said in a low voice.

Summer breathed a sigh of relief again, and his expression was filled with a certain relief and some sadness.

"Your Highness, I know, and I don't have much ...... What else do you think......"

He explained in a slurred.

……

"So...... You don't need to persuade me, I want to go wherever he is. The girl answered the question, and she said in a low voice.

Summer was stunned when he heard this, he smiled silently and bitterly, but stopped his explanation. He sighed again, but looked up at the girl again.

He straightened up, and his eyes were full of clarity: "I know what you think, and it is because you are so noble...... That's why I finally ......."

He whispered.

"But you also have to think about your and Shainin's ...... Love crystallization...... They can't live without you. They need mothers, they need you by their side. They need your support and raise them as adults. For the Empire, for you, and for Shainin, leave hope. They are the glorious souls of the Xie clan in the far north, and they will have a bright future - a bright future under your care. ”

"You...... There shouldn't be some ...... There shouldn't be an idea of giving up. ”

He shook his head, as if to drive some undesirable thought out of his mind, and persuaded him again.

……

"I never said I was going to give up on them."

The girl shook her head.

"But they don't necessarily need me that much, but I need their father even more...... They don't have me. They will also thrive under the care of their grandmothers and aunts. I don't have their father...... But it has long been cut off. All the hardships are just to find him, and all the hope has long been buried with him in the cold seabed of the extreme north......"

A hint of despair and sadness crossed her face, and she murmured.

"They'll grow up, they'll grow up. Me and his children...... It must be like me, and more like their father—never afraid of any suffering, not even the greatest of it...... His glorious ...... Brilliant ......"

……

"No one will ever know. How could a weak girl, in despair, look at the fragment of magic crystal that passed through the body of a thin boy and pierced into her chest, only half a centimeter from her heart...... Without him. Maybe I would have died long ago—and even though he was so badly wounded, he held me tightly like a mountain in front of me. His last words before passing out were - Are you alright...... No one will ever know. How ...... I felt at that time."

"No one will know how much shock he gave me on the day of the rainy lake...... Not for his legendary soul, only for him...... Love for me...... To all my classmates, and to the entire empire...... His love, my love, our love......"

"He is like this, he looks ordinary, but in his soul and body, there is a power that people can't let go, a power that can't be forgotten, and people are fascinated......"

The girl's cold and pale face swelled up with a dazzling look, and she murmured softly with a look of remembrance and pride.

"So, you may have developed some kind of wrong love for me...... I do not have the noble sentiment of sacrificing everything for the sake of my countrymen...... I just want to ......"

"Wherever he is, I want to go......"

She whispered again.

……

Summer stared at the girl in front of him for a long time, too many and too complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, but in the end he only sighed helplessly again.

"Well, Your Highness. I will order them to protect you closely, and I ask you to ...... Be careful. I will...... Do what I can, protect the empire, and also protect ...... Everything I want to protect. ”

He glanced deeply at the girl, got up gently, and when he came to the door, he looked back at the girl again, and he wanted to say and stopped, but at last he let out a long sigh of desolation.

He opened the door and walked away softly.

……

"Young lady...... You should think about it a little more, Chief of Staff Xia is right......"

The quiet room was quiet again, and Caiyun was silent for a long time, but he persuaded in a low voice.

"He misses me...... I've been dreaming about him a lot lately...... As soon as I close my eyes, I dream of him......"

The girl murmured with a sad look, her eyes were full of confusion, she caressed the photograph, and suddenly held it in the palm of her hand, and pressed it to her own beautiful face, which was pale and tired, and immaculate.

"Don't persuade me...... I'm really tired...... So be it...... Please...... Let me go to him, okay......"

"Tell Qi'er and Shuang'er, I'm sorry......"

Tears fell from the girl's pale face, and she choked and muttered.

Caiyun looked at the girl in a daze.

She let out a long sigh and never spoke again. (To be continued......)
