Chapter Seventy-Two: The Grand Procession

"Roy, how did you survive after you jumped off the cliff?" asked Elethia curiously.

Although there has always been news about Roy, Ellethia is still curious about his experience. Time flies, and it's been two years in a flash.

Walking by Roy's side, Eretia felt as if she was back in Bollabelle.

"That day, I fell into a river...... Roy recounted two years of experience as she walked along with Elethea.

From being chased and strayed into a desperate situation until now. Roy only skimmed over some secrets that were inconvenient and unnecessary to talk about, and recounted the whole experience in general.

Eretia listened with interest.

Compared to the information she knew, Roy's own account was naturally clearer and more specific. Only now did she know many things she never knew before.

Desperated, the Battle of Medin City...... One by one, every time she heard the thrill, Eretia couldn't help but raise her heart to her throat, only to feel that her palms were full of sweat. And when she heard that Roy was finally safe and sound, or even a blessing in disguise, she would unconsciously smile with joy on her face.

After listening to Roy, Erethia breathed a long sigh of relief, and was a little fascinated for a while: "I didn't expect your experience to be so tortuous. ”

Roy smiled and asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Elethia sighed, "I'm much simpler. ”

"On weekdays, I spend most of my time in the Basilica of the Holy Virgin," said Ellethia, walking along the path leading to the garden, "and only a few days off every six months to go back to the palace to visit my father and mother......

With the narration of Elethea, the life of a young girl in the prime of her youth is simple, boring, and even somewhat depressing. Floating in front of Roy's eyes.

In fact, he was not ignorant of Eretia's situation.

As an imperial princess, Eretia is a star in the limelight, both among the noble lords at the top and among the common people at the bottom.

Everyone is keen to talk about all things about the princess. Her beauty. What she wears, what she says, who she dances with, which banquet or ceremony she attends, etc., etc.

Naturally, everything about her in the Temple of the Holy Virgin was the focus of attention.

It is rumored in the streets that since Augustus was promoted to Paladin, the attitude of the Holy Maiden towards the Solan royal family has changed a lot. Now the temple is divided into two factions. Part adheres to the tradition and neutrality of the Basilica of the Virgin. The other part believes that the Holy Virgin should be allied with the Lanrith family.

The latter faction has put a lot of pressure on Elethea. In the eyes of these people, the existence of Eretia has become a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.

It can be seen that Elethea's situation in the temple of the Holy Lady is not optimistic.

However, Roy still didn't expect that the pressure on Eretia would be so great. She was supposed to be carefree and free. Now it's like a caged bird.

Others envy her noble status and envy her beauty. didn't know that it was these that bound her like ropes and made her difficult to breathe.

She must attend all kinds of public occasions and keep her smile, she must make sacrifices to do her best to maintain the support of the Holy Lady of the Holy Family, and she must remain silent and let others dictate her life. She also has to be someday in the future. Like a vase, people are fighting for it.

This is the fate of the princess of the empire.

Everything seems to have been predestined from the moment she was born.

At this time, Roy finally understood why two years ago. There's going to be a trip like that. For her, it was the last time she flew freely before she entered the golden wire birdcage.

Listening to Erecia's story, Roy suddenly felt that he was not the worst one who wandered the mountains and forests since he was a child.

His childhood was much happier than that of Eretia.

However, what Roy didn't expect was that as Elethea's chatterbox opened, the rhythm of the chat between the two completely entered the "princess's confide" time.

Roy couldn't answer at all.

At first, the topic of Eretia was limited to experiences, but she rarely talked to anyone, and she was completely defenseless against Roy, so she couldn't stop talking.

As she talked, she remembered something interesting and turned aside. When I pulled it back, I forgot what I had said before.

Every now and then, she stuck out her tongue and looked embarrassed.

However, when Roy reminded her, she chirped happily again. Interesting facts in the palace, teachers of the temple of saints, how to learn magic, it is simply not a big deal.

Even if he accidentally broke his foot one day, or was squeezed by a classmate of the Holy Maiden Temple, he secretly played tricks on the other party, and told Roy about it.

So much so that in the end, Roy found that Elethia was like a different person.

At this time, she is no longer the dignified and smiling princess, and she is no longer the first beauty in the mainland that people look up to. Everything about her has become shallow and transparent with these trivial things.

The somewhat verbose little whining and the crisp laughter that erupted from time to time made her look like an ordinary girl next door.

Talking and laughing, the two of them walked through the garden, through the corridor, and along the curved wall of the main building to the gate of the Grand Duke's Castle.

Another enthusiastic commotion came from outside.

Eretia listened intently, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes.

She pulled Roy's hand: "Let's go out and have a look!"

Roy was stunned for a moment, and before he could agree or disagree, she had already been pulled out of the castle gate and ran down the hillside road.

On the streets of the city, Eretia is like a bird in flight. She put on an elaborate banshee mask that covered the part above her nose. Then, without saying anything, he pulled Roy and squeezed into the crowd.

On the streets, a parade of floats is being held.

A float passed in front of the two men. Driven by magic, the float continues to bloom with the illusion of a hundred flowers. Among the flowers, five girls in five-color dance costumes are dancing to the beautiful music. Hundreds of phantom butterflies swirled around them, fluttering and circling.

And that's just the first one. In the back, there are dozens of floats of all kinds, as well as a procession of drummers, trumpeters, dancers and even clowns.

These were originally only seen on the Day of Miracles, but in order to celebrate the victory of the Demon War, they were all dispatched. For a while, it was just full of flowers, which made people overwhelmed.

Ellethia was so excited that she swam through the crowd like a nimble fish.

"Look, Joker!"

"Wow!"

"Over here, Roy, look. ”

Roy was like a puppet pulling strings, following Eretia through the bustling streets. As he ran, the sun shone down on his face, making him a little unable to see the colorful world. But he could see the side of Eretia's face, her ears, and the tiny fur.

And that banshee mask, shining in the sun. Under the smile on the corner of Elesia's mouth, there is a kind of presumptuous bewitchment.

Masks were commonly used by aristocratic women. Almost every aristocratic lady has her own mask in her space ring.

Roy didn't know why Eretia had chosen such a mask. But at this time, he suddenly had a feeling that the banshee bathed in the sun was her truest side.

The grand procession, culminating in a few hours of prayer.

Adolf led the army into the city.

As the mighty procession of knights passed, the people went completely crazy. Countless flowers rained down, and the cheers of Long Live the Empire resounded in the sky.

At this time, Eretia and Roy had also arrived at the south gate where the army entered the city.

The two stood side by side in the crowd, watching Adolf riding into the city, listening to the excited shouts of the people around them, and couldn't help but smile at each other. And when Roy turned his head back to look at Adolf, he didn't notice that Elethea's gaze never left him.

It wasn't until Roy turned his head again that Ellethia quickly looked away.

Her ears were a little red...... WeChat public number ctao0202...... (To be continued.) )
