Chapter 13: The Way of the Princess
Lin Qiu was a little angry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was supposed to show off his amazing tennis skills to Ophelia and Phoenix, but now he had to lie in bed. This is the gap between the ideal and the reality, and the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that Ophelia and Phoenix did not hit and run after taking him down, but stayed here with him.
Lin Qiu felt that although Phoenix was a little louder after becoming smaller, it was an important partner to alleviate his recent boring life.
Phoenix is always willing to try things that are new to her.
"Speaking of guides, why did you join the Inquisition?" Lin Qiu asked.
He remembers when he passed through Ophelia's homeland, and her name was sung in even the most remote villages. The people of the Fourth Kingdom loved their empress and longed for her to return soon, and the king, Ophelia's father, ordered that he would give Ophelia the throne as soon as Ophelia returned from school.
"You passed through my country?" Ophelia was surprised.
The people of the Fourth Kingdom saw her as the future Empress, but she never made the Fourth Kingdom "my kingdom". The crown was too heavy, and she wasn't ready to take the throne yet.
In this regard, she is very different from Albert.
Albert wished that Henry V would die of illness so that he could ascend to the throne, but Ophelia hoped that her father would hold on day by day, and that it would be better never to put the burden on her shoulders.
"They love you very much, and the village has set up a manor house for you, and there is a statue of you at the entrance to the manor. ”
"Yes. Ophelia smiled politely: "When I was young, my father's designated successor was my elder brother, and at that time he was not only a good knight, but also a good commander...... When I was a child, at the end of the Hundred Years' War, my brother went to the front before the coming-of-age ceremony. ”
Ophelia rarely talks about her past to anyone.
Some people are born geniuses, and some people become geniuses after tomorrow.
Alyssa is the former, while Ophelia is the latter. Before being hailed as a "sword genius", Ophelia was no better off than Richard in the Fourth Kingdom. When she was born, she was tested to have a constitution that rejected the imprint, and that simple test directly determined her treatment until the age of five.
Unlike Richard, Ophelia is a girl and inherits her mother's beauty. In Horutia, the princess who cannot be a knight has one last use - a kin. So her father had planned her life early in the day, and was ready to marry her off to another kingdom when she had completed her wedding ceremony. Another difference from Richard is that she has a brother who loves her quite much, which is very different from Albert, who always wants to scare her brother.
And the appearance of the Sith changed everything.
The Sith tapped into her talent for swordsmanship, altered her constitution that prevented her from possessing the Mark, and left half of her Marker with her. Ophelia admired the Sith as a child, not only instructing her in her practice, but also instilling in her the concept of the Holuthian League and the Byronic Empire.
Ophelia learned from the Sith about the reason for the establishment of Herutia, and also learned about the cause and effect of the years of war between the two continents.
Until one day, Sith climbed into her bedchamber as usual, and gently touched her head. The Sith said that he had finally found a way to put an end to the war and that he wanted to turn his ideals into reality, and after leaving behind a rhetoric, he left.
However, when Ophelia meets the Sith again, he has completely changed. The glorious image of the past has crumbled, and he has become the source of all trouble.
Because of this, Ophelia realized that she could not return the other half of her power to the Sith.
Once he regains these powers, the crazy plans will be put into practice one by one.
Lin Qiu listened to it for a while, and the picture of Tyr's childhood couldn't help but appear in front of his eyes. The most exciting news known in the kingdom of Tarun is the fact that the Sith is the "grandfather" in Tyr's memory. He sifted through Tyr's memories for fear of missing any important clues.
But the old figure in the memory is indeed a glorious and tall figure, as Ophelia said.
So the question is back to square one.
Sith, what do you want to do?
What is the purpose of giving half of his power to Ophelia for no reason, and cultivating Tyre Cyrius, this seemingly thankless act?
"My father began to pay attention to me after I showed my swordsmanship, but he was at odds with my brother and me all the time until news came back from the front......" Ophelia's eyes darkened.
"Don't go on, I guessed. Lin Qiu stopped the other party.
At this point in the story, he had already anticipated the end: "It is not your responsibility, but the shadow of the war - your brother, who fought for Horutia until the last moment, is a hero." ”
......
The gloom in Ophelia's eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a "Are you an idiot?" gaze.
"My brother didn't die, he and the troops on the front line returned triumphantly. Ophelia said calmly.
Then you're okay and you're so blind!
"But you say the front line ......"
"It was intelligence from the front that the war was over. Ophelia rolled her eyes and popularized the most basic knowledge of royal power for Lin Qiu: "The criteria for choosing a crown prince in war years are completely different from those in peace years, when my brother was fighting on the front line, I gained a lot of prestige in the kingdom, and in peace years, the relationship with the people and the prestige in the country played a decisive role. So my father gradually favored me, and when the acceptance letter from the Wind Furnace Academy arrived, he made up his mind to make me the crown prince. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"No, don't you understand, I'm not prepared for it!" Ophelia's emotions suddenly became a little excited, which is why she joined the student council very early after coming to the Furnace Academy and became the president in her second year, hoping to hone her leadership skills through the position of president.
Lately, however, she has become less and less confident.
Leading the Windstove Academy Student Council had already left her with more than enough power, and when she returned, she would be greeted by an entire Fourth Kingdom.
"I don't plan to return to the Fourth Kingdom until the Sith is truly defeated. Ophelia directly expressed her intentions: "That's why I joined the Inquisition - if you want to fight the Sith, one or two people are not enough, I need the power of the church!"
"What...... What?"
At the same time, an exaggerated shout suddenly sounded outside the door: "You said you don't plan to return to China?"
Seeing the comer, Ophelia stood up in a little panic. It was the first time Lin Qiu had seen Ophelia look so hurried.
"Brother, why are you here?"
She said to the young man at the door in surprise.
