Chapter 70: The Forest of Trials

"Remember, but ......" Luna was tempted to say that she didn't understand, but in fact, she didn't understand the purpose of Silas's sudden admonition.

"You're still young, it's good to remember some things, and it's too late to think about them if you have the energy to think about them slowly. Well, it's almost dinner time, and if you don't go any further, your mother is going to be angry. Patting Luna on the head again, Silas pushed her daughter in the direction of the door.

"What about Father?" asked Luna, pushed back a few steps by Silas.

"You go first, I still have some things, I'll go over when I'm done. ”

With that, Silas stood up and walked to the desk again.

He turned his back to his daughter's figure, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he looked so tall and majestic, as if he could hold up the whole world.

But at this moment, Luna inexplicably felt that although her father did not bend his waist or hunched his back, there was always a trace of fatigue, which quietly overflowed from the inside out.

Silently walked out of the study, watching the door of the study be closed by the guards, standing in the corridor that had become a little dim, Luna stared blankly at the door of the study, and did not move for a long time, until ......

"Your Highness is here. The visitor went straight to Luna, but seeing that Luna ignored her, she turned to Liya who was guarding the side and said, "The two princes have arrived, and the queen asked me to find Her Highness." ”

"Your Highness......" Liya stepped forward, crouched down, and stroked Luna's back.

"I hear you. Let's go!"

As the words fell, Luna withdrew her gaze from the door of the study, and Silas's abnormality made her feel a little uneasy, and she turned around and headed towards the dining room with a lot of concern.

The meal was very quiet, although Silas joined in the middle of the meal, but seeing him and Charles gobbling up, it seemed to be in a hurry, and Olivia only took care of the two of them as much as possible, and did not pay much attention to a pair of children.

Of course, Jack has never had any troubles, except for the fact that his sister has become a monster, he still can't let go, everything is beautiful.

After dinner, back in her room, Luna continues to sit on the small cushion in a daze.

After making the bed and ordering Luna's bath water to be prepared, Ria approached her and whispered:

"Has Your Highness been reprimanded by the king again? Don't be sad! That pigeon is a knight after all! Or a foreign envoy, think about it, the king is also worried about you. ”

Hearing this, Luna turned her head to look at her worried little maid, and couldn't help but shake her head, "It's not the pigeon's business. Liya, how much do you know about the Trials Forest?"

"Trial Forest?" Riya was stunned when she heard this, and then said, "What does the princess want to do in such a dangerous place? ”

"Don't I have to go?" Luna suddenly stood up and looked at Riya, her voice raising a few points.

"Uh...... No, how can I explain this to you?" Lea looked at Luna's appearance, and was a little afraid to continue for a while, she was afraid that she would not be able to explain it to Luna, and it would be troublesome if there was a misunderstanding.

"Tell me everything you know. Luna grabbed the corner of Riya's coat and pulled her to herself.

"Then I'll tell you, just listen to the princess, don't be serious, specifically, can you go back and ask Lord Gote?"

"Done. You speak first. Luna happily agreed.

Seeing this, Ria sat down on the ground next to Luna, and after thinking about it, she spoke:

"The Forest of Trials is said to be a place of training given by God to the warriors of the mainland, and only the brave who have overcome the many crises there and come out alive will receive the gift of God.

The blessed Feathered Orcs will fly higher and farther, and the Land Orcs will have greater strength and speed, which is a must for many warriors to realize their dreams. ”

"Then why did you say I didn't have to go?" Luna tilted her head to look at Ria with a wistful expression, she could listen to this kind of myth, but she wanted to inquire more about what the Forest of Trials meant to her.

"It's not that Your Royal Highness doesn't have to go, but whether you want to go or not depends on whether you want to go or not. In fact, every orc on the continent is like this, whether to take risks or not, it is up to them. Liya explained.

Luna tilted her head, playing dumb and asked, "Why would anyone want to go there, since you all said it was dangerous?"

"Because if you come back alive, you can change a lot! Just like the knights of our Snow Wolf Country. Regardless of their origin, as long as a warrior can return from the Forest of Trials alive, they will have the opportunity to earn the Knight Medal. There are also children of noble families, and only when they come back from the Trial Forest can they obtain the right to inherit the family title!"

"What about me? I don't need to inherit anything, and why should I go there?" Luna continued.

"The princess is getting married!" Leia winked at Luna.

"What does this have to do with whether or not you go to the Trials Forest?" Luna pouted, she had been a celibate in her previous life, and now she lacked nothing, and if she was told something, the servants had all been done, and it seemed even more pointless to marry.

"Absolutely. If I can come back from the Forest of Trials, I can choose for myself whether or not to marry, or who to marry. But now, I have to listen to my father or my brother's arrangement, and when I reach the age of 20 at the latest, I must choose one of the candidates they offer to marry. ”

"Huh?" Luna looked at Ria for a moment, then said willfully, "I don't allow you, I'm only 7 years old when you're 20 years old, I don't want you to leave, you have to stay with me all the time!"

"Okay, well, I've been with Your Highness. Hurry up and take a shower, if you don't wash the water, it will be cold. Liya didn't want to talk to Luna about getting married, and her eyes flashed with a hint of age-appropriate helplessness, which was quickly covered by her soft light.

She knew that Luna couldn't bear her, so how could she give up this little princess who she watched grow up day by day?

But she is a free citizen, and she has no confidence to come back alive from the Trial Forest, so when she gets married, it can only be her father and brother who have the final say, even if it is a princess, there is no way to stop it, this is the law of the Snow Wolf Country.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Luna got up again after seeing Ria extinguish the candle in the room and exit, first finding a soft animal skin to block the crack in the small door that connected to her parents' bedroom, and then returning to the bed and looking in the direction of the window and waiting.

"Your Highness is waiting for me?" After a long time, Sarah's figure finally hung upside down at the farthest window from Luna's bed.

"Come in!" Luna jumped out of bed and paced back to the table, seated on the cushion.

Sarah silently flapped her wings a few times, fell into the house and took shape, removed the whistle from her neck, stepped forward, and offered it with both hands.

"You can find a box yourself, put the whistle up, and put it on the fireplace. Luna didn't answer, but just glanced at Sarah and said.
