Chapter 440: Green Mountains and Green Waters (36)

"No! Filmin will keep you safe and keep you in a place where no one will humiliate and ridicule you for raising your children alone, and when he can, he will go to you and people's children. ”

"Have you ever thought about walking with the people? People can leave Fort Stag, you and Film, and go to the upper river now?"

"I can't leave Fort Stag, and I've explained that to you as much as I can. ”

"I know you've explained, and he's trying to understand, but Filin doesn't think you can't go. ”

"My mission for the king is ......"

"Then don't do it, let someone else do it. Walk with Filin and live people's lives. ”

"I can't. It wasn't that simple, and the king wouldn't allow Filin to leave. Somehow, people stood far away and saw her with her hands crossed over her chest.

"Hermes is gone, and almost no one believes that he will come back.

King Creek is getting weaker by the day, and His Majesty is ready to inherit the throne at any time. If half of what you say your majesty feels about you is true, when he does become king, will you still want to stay here?

Why does he want to keep you? Kaz, can't you see that everything is falling apart? The neighboring islands and ferry towns are just the beginning, and the robbers won't stop there. ”

"That's why it's all the more important for Filin to stay on a mission, and fight for the people's people if they need to. ”

"One person can't stop them. Ariana pointed out.

"No one is as stubborn as you, so why don't you take all your stubbornness and fight for people? Why don't people fly far and cross rivers inland, away from robbers, and live their own lives? Why do people have to give up everything for a hopeless goal?"

Fihrin couldn't believe she could say that.

It would have been treacherous if it had come out of Film's mouth, but she had said it as if the people and the non-existent child were more important than the king and the five principalities combined. Fihrin couldn't answer her.

"Hmm. She looked at Filin, "It's true to me. If you're Filin's husband and I've had people's children, that's so important to me, and more so than anything else in the world. ”

What should Fei Lin say? Fei Lin knew that she would not be satisfied, but he still had to tell the truth: "You are also so important to me, very important.

But that's why he's staying here, because instead of running away from dodging something as important, you should stand up and defend it. ”

"Defend?" she raised her voice, "when will you understand that people can't defend themselves?"

Filmin stood between the robbers and Filmin's nieces and daughters, and almost died. When you've been through this, come and talk to Filmin about defending it!"

Filmin was silent. Not only did her words hurt Filin deeply, but they also reminded Filin that she had held a child in her arms and watched the blood run down her cold little hands.

Filin couldn't imagine going through this again, but if it was Filin's job, he had to do it.

"You can't just run away from it, Ariana. Either the people stood up or were slaughtered after the defeat. ”

"Really?" she asked Filin coldly, "is it just because you put your loyalty to the king before the people?"

Unable to meet her eyes, Filin sneered and said, "You're like Borges." You don't know how much you resemble him!"

"Like Borges?" Filinco was confused. What she said was a surprise to Film, not to mention the tone in which she seemed to regard it as a fault.

"That's right. She was sure.

"Because I'm loyal to the King?" Filin still couldn't figure it out.

"No, because you think of the king more than your woman...... Or your lover, or even your life. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"That's it! Look, you really don't understand. You're just going to get busy and act like you know all the great things, the secrets, and all the big things that happened.

So, you might as well tell Filin, why does Star hate Borges?"

Fei Lin was really completely lost at the moment, and he didn't know what this had to do with Fei Lin's, but Fei Lin knew that Ariana must have associated the two together, so he tried to say extremely cautiously: "She blames him for Fei Lin."

She thinks Borges has spoiled the silver glow...... That's why there is a film. ”

"That's it! Look at how stupid you are, it's not like that at all. Rem told Filin one night that she had drunk a little too much elderwine, and he was talking about you, and she was talking about Borges and Starlight.

Xingcai was originally in love with Borges, you idiot, but he wouldn't marry her. He said that he loved her but could not marry her, even though her father was willing to let her deign to marry, because he had sworn allegiance to his master with his life and sword, and he did not think that he could do it in a good way.

Oh, he said he wished he could marry her as he pleased, and he wished he hadn't sworn allegiance before he met her, but it was the same, he said he just couldn't marry her.

He said foolish things to her, as if the horse could only wear a saddle or something, no matter how much it wanted to.

So, she told him, then, go, go, follow this master who is more important to you than Filin, and he did. Just like you, if Filmin told you that, you'd make the same choice. ”

Her cheeks were flushed, and she shook her head and turned her back to Filin.

In this way, this is indeed related to the fault of Filin. And at this moment, when the bits and pieces of the story are gradually taking shape with the comments of others, it makes Filmin feel upset. The story of Borges's first encounter with constellation.

She was sitting under an apple tree and told him to help her pull out the thorns from her feet. Few women would make such demands on her husband's subordinates, as a straightforward young maid would make such a request to a young man who caught her eye.

Also, his reaction when Film's reference to Ariana and Constellation that night is to make the situation clearer by repeating what Constellation said about horses and the saddle.

"Does Silverglow know that?" asked Filin.

Ariana turned to look at Film, who she obviously didn't expect to ask the question, but couldn't help but finish the story.

"Nope. I didn't know. When Starstar first met him, he had no idea that he was Borges's master, and Borges didn't tell her who he was loyal to.

Originally, Xingcai didn't want to pay attention to Yinhui at all, just because she still had Borges in her heart, you know.

But Silverglow is stubborn, and according to Rem, he loves her to the point of love beyond measure, and he wins her heart because of it.

Xingcai agreed to marry him at that time, telling him that she would marry him, but later learned that he was Borges's master, and only found out when Silverlight had instructed him to give her a special horse. ”

Filin suddenly remembered Borges looking at Star's mount in the stable and said, "Filin trained that horse." Filin wasn't sure if he knew the horse was a gift to his sweetheart when he was training silk, and that it was from her fiancΓ©.

Film's bet must be like this. Filin always felt that Silverlight hated him because he cared so much about Borges, but now the triangle was more delicate and painful.

Filin closed his eyes and shook his head, lamenting how unfair the world was.

"Nothing is simply beautiful," said Film, to himself, "always covered with a bitter skin, and always with a sour pit." ”

"Yes. Ariana sat down on the edge of the bed as if she had lost her breath, and when he walked over to sit beside her, she didn't let Filmin go. Filin took her hand, a thousand thoughts churning in his mind.

How Stars loathed Borges's drinking habits, how Borges retrieved her pet puppy, how she carried it with her in a basket, and how he paid attention to his grooming and manners.

"Just because you can't see a woman doesn't mean she can't see you. "Oh, Borges.

He still finds time to take care of the horse she barely rides, and Stars has at least had a happy marriage and spent a few years with the man she loves;

Even though their relationship was complicated by political intrigue, they still spent those years happily.

So, what will Ariana and Filmin have? Is that all Borges has now?

Filmin hugged her and leaned against her, for a long, long time, and that's it.

But in the melancholy embrace of that night, people were closer to each other than ever.

During the years of the Red Ship's attack, during the reign of King Iyu of the mountains, the death of his eldest son Rox left his daughter Floya as the only heir to the throne in the mountains. According to their custom, when her father died, she would become queen of the mountains, or "sacrificial sacrifice."

Thus, her marriage to Hermes not only symbolizes the support of allies in turbulent times, but also guarantees that the Kingdom of the Mountains will eventually join the kingdom system of the Five Duchies under the name of the "Seventh Duchy".

The Kingdom of the Mountains borders only with the landlocked principalities of Tilth and Phalo, so Floya is particularly concerned about any civil strife that might separate the five principalities.

She was raised to be a "sacrificial sacrifice" from an early age, and her duty to the people was a particularly important part of her life.

When she became the princess of Hermes, the people of the five principalities became her own, but she also knew in her heart that once her father died, the people of the mountain kingdom would once again demand her as a "sacrifice sacrifice".

So, if Pharrow and Tirth, who were between her and her people, were not part of the five principalities, but enemy states, how could she fulfill that obligation?
