Chapter 151: Speculation
"You can't run away from losing everything you want to protect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Egret coughed up blood and looked at Nina. The girl's bright eyes had become hollow, as if she had lost her soul.
The blow after knowing her identity made Nina doubt the meaning of her existence. She lives in a beautiful lie that everyone has woven for her, with a noble identity and a happy life. However, the truth is that he is nothing more than a descendant of a bloodline experiment stained with the blood of Ambra's native goblins.
People are sometimes very harsh.
Especially when it comes to dealing with others.
If the other person's parents are the culprits who killed all your relatives, can you still support the culprit's children to become your leaders?
The question couldn't be simpler. In this world, there are very few saints who can be so magnanimous.
When the good is shattered, all that is left is the cruel truth and the pain in the heart. That's all Nina can see now.
"Don't run away?" Nina looked at the egret coldly, "A person who is stained with the blood of the people, and I exist like this, even if I don't escape, what can I change?"
"You can change yourself, and you can change people. Egret smiled faintly, "Nina, Teresia, you are the emperor of Ambra, you are the only one who must face history and make amends!"
With a taunt on her face, Nina slammed into the heron in the chest and kicked her sideways. Kicking him far away, the egret didn't resist, the ribs in his chest snapped, and another mouthful of blood spat out.
"Don't laugh. You are the same as them, the great nobles who only think about themselves. It's just that you want to continue to maintain Ambra's rule and maintain your own position! You obviously knew about the bloodline experiment before, and even knew about Xilini before! But don't you still hide it from me? Don't you deceive me like them?!"
This is the biggest reason why Nina has a hatred for egrets. Even the person she trusted the most, the Guardian Knight who had always been by her side, was hiding something from herself, and Nina didn't know what else she could believe.
"You're right. The egret stood up tremblingly, "I'm hiding something from you. But the biggest reason is that I don't want to see you like this. ”
"Guardian Knights are more than just guarding your safety. I also want to protect your smile. ”
"Liar!" Nina burst forward again, her sword stabbing forward, and after the egret freed the Soul Eater, Shenwu finally began to play its role. In the eyes of the egret, Nina's ethereal sword path can already be seen, even if the injury is not light now, it can still resist Nina's attacks left and right.
"Liar, liar, liar!" Nina attacked, her attacks already starting to become chaotic due to the confusion, and she kept screaming and stabbing fiercely at the egret.
Egret looked at Nina's sad and helpless eyes, and her heart was filled with unspeakable pain. He sighed and let go of the hand holding the Soul Eater.
"Flutter. ”
It was the sound of a sword piercing through flesh.
The sword pierced through the egret's right chest and out of his back, blood flowing on Nina's hand and splattering onto Nina's armor.
The egret did not hide or dodge, and suffered this thorn head-on.
Nina froze, her hands shaking, and she stared at the egret with a fierce gaze. His body trembled and he wanted to retreat one after another.
The egret gently opened her arms and hugged Nina.
"Yo, I've finally caught you. ”
"You, why, why don't you hide. Nina muttered, her voice so faint that it was almost impossible to hear.
"Well, I said I would always be by your side. ”
After saying this, the egret's eyes darkened, unable to withstand the successive injuries, and his head tilted and fell on Nina's shoulder.
"You bunch of waste!" Master Alice angrily scolded the knights who were guarding the ceremony, "actually let people invade our backstage at such a critical time and commit such a big incident!"
"I don't think it's that simple. If such a big incident can happen, there will probably be internal ghosts!" The general looked serious, "This matter can't just be left alone. Lulu, you do a thorough survey of the guests and personnel in the venue to see if anything is wrong. ”
"No need to investigate. Fiona's face was extremely ugly, and she walked in from the outside in the middle of what she had just said. As soon as the general had finished speaking, Fiona spoke directly. "The inner ghost is Lilith, the maid of our Luther family. ”
"Handmaiden?" the general turned to look at Fiona, "how did she get in?"
"Lilith was one of the attendants of the ceremony, and she came with the palace attendants. The recommender is still me. Fiona sighed.
"But the broadcast of those devices is not something that ordinary people can operate. One of the knights stood up and asked, "And even in the background, there are a few knights guarding them, and that's a formal professional!"
"Lilith has been serving me full-time for more than a decade. Do you think she won't be able to operate the equipment?" Fiona pouted in disgust, "She's also a leon, and she's a goblin by nature with a system beyond her formal profession, so it's not a problem for her to spend time dealing with a few knight guards. ”
The general raised his eyebrows, "In this way, your maid is indeed very suspicious." Why, did you come to this conclusion when you found out that she was gone?"
"In addition to the absence of people, there are surveillance footage to prove it. Fiona said, "Lilith was raised by the Luther family since she was a child, and she may have been one of the survivors of the bloodline experiment. ”
The crowd was speechless for a while.
It's no longer possible to say who's right and who's wrong. Whoever suffers a great disaster and has a chance to take revenge will take risks at any cost. If Lilith was also a survivor of the bloodline experiment, it would not be surprising that she would do such a thing.
Even if the person responsible for the incident is found, what happened will no longer help. Even the richest political elite present, Roncik or Duke Luther, had a headache.
"I hope Her Highness Nina will come back safely. "Ambra's situation is very urgent right now, and the bell needs to be tied to the bell. Perhaps only the explanation of Her Highness Nina herself can solve the current problem.
"Huh. The egret snorted in pain and slowly opened his eyes.
I was completely unconscious just now. The egret touched his chest, only to realize that his wound had been bandaged.
He looked around.
It's a cave, and you can still hear the rain pouring outside. In front of him, there is a fire that has been burning for an unknown amount of time, and the flame transmits warmth to the egret, so that he will not die of excessive blood loss and hypothermia.
Suddenly, the egret laughed.
It turned out that on his right side, there was a young girl, with her hair scattered, lying on a rock, her eyes closed, sleeping soundly.
Looking at Nina's sleeping position up close, this experience is the first time for the egret. He unconsciously reached out and gently stroked the ends of Nina's hair. There was a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth.
Nina frowned, as if she had sensed it, and then opened her eyes.
"Are you awake?" Nina opened her eyes and saw the egret, and immediately came to her senses.
"Hmm. ”
Nina opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I'm sorry. ”
"Well, it's okay. I'm used to this kind of injury. The egret laughed absently.
"I am not a qualified highness, let alone an imperial candidate who can inherit the empire. Nina spoke slowly, "Even so, do you want to follow me?"
"I just remember when I was with you, it was because of the debt. Well, I'm not done yet, am I?" said the egret as he teased him. "I don't remember that it was because of Her Royal Highness the princess or something that I chose to follow you. ”
Nina stared blankly at the egret and burst into tears without warning. This girl who is strong on the surface has never leaked such a gesture in front of the egret before today. She had never shown her weakness on the outside, and here, in the face of the Egret who followed and tendered herself regardless of her life, she finally revealed it.
"What the hell should I do?"
The egret leaned over and reached out to wipe the tears from Nina's face.
"Regain the lost trust of the people and find the culprit behind it. We must not let our country be ruined by a rumor!" said Egret firmly. "Whatever this guy's purpose is, it's definitely hoping that Ambra will cause chaos, and the most likely main messenger right now is the Dean Empire. Not only Bergner's performance at the ceremony, but also the inexplicable military operations of the Dean Empire. All of them illustrate a problem. ”
"What's the problem?"
Nina stopped her tears and took a deep breath.
The egret continued. "On the border, there must be the Dean Empire or some collective of the Dean Empire, who don't want us to happen. As the Dean Empire itself, the movement of troops without warning, and there is no corresponding content in domestic intelligence and public opinion, which can only show that this operation is a confidential process. ”
"In order not to be influenced by the outside world, so that there is any deviation in the action. Therefore, against the Ambra Empire, they adopted the method of attacking the rulers, that is, exposing your background problems, so that Ambra entered a period of chaos and could not carry out an effective military and political response. During this period, they will carry out operations as soon as possible. By the time the Ambra Empire recovers, they'll probably have done what they need to do. ”
"Their purpose has been achieved. "No matter what I do, I won't be able to win the trust of the people and ascend to the throne in a short period of time." The issuance of a decree on foreign military action is simply not possible. ”
"Nope. Quite the opposite. The egret laughed weirdly, "Now, it's the best time to make a plan!" (To be continued.) )
