In the silence of the chamber, I stood up and stood on the main seat, my fists clenched under the hem of my skirt, and I secretly bit my back molars, and my heart was beating violently and was almost beating to my throat.

I swallowed my saliva, looked at the people in front of me who were all focused on me, and kept cheering for myself in my heart, winning or losing in one fell swoop.

"Lords, in fact, I am just a poor ordinary person, a month ago I was a little beggar begging in a small town near the Demon Abyss, and I became the eldest lady of the Wright family by chance. But the great changes in my affluent life did not make me forget the suffering of the past, and the more time passed, the more I missed my former friends, wondered if they were still hungry, whether they were still enduring the cold and loneliness, and every time I thought about it, my heart twisted like a knife, and I hated why I couldn't do anything for them. ”

"Finally, one day, as I was strolling through one of the streets of Einves, a dirty girl staggered towards me, blessing and praying to me, hoping that I would be merciful enough to get a piece of bread. The knights, who had retreated from the poor girl and were ready to brutally persecute the poor girl, brushed the sweat and dust from her face with a handkerchief, but she shook her head, and weakly pointed to her shriveled stomach and told me that she only wanted a piece of bread. ”

I couldn't help but cry, and gently called the knight to buy a basket of bread and handed it to her, but she didn't speak, just looked at me quietly and smiled, and looked back and walked away reluctantly, I never found that a smile without impurities could be so beautiful, so I didn't speak, just smiled and watched her leave. On that day, a smile was always on my cheeks. ”

"The next day, I couldn't help but come back to that neighborhood, perhaps because I really wanted to see the little girl who made me feel sorry for me again. But I walked back and forth for a long time, but I never saw the figure that made me nostalgic. ”

The knight behind him summoned the administrator, and got the news that the little girl had died in the cold wind, and that there were also three younger children, the difference was that the little girl was starved to death, and those children were choked and strangled to death by themselves. ”

"On this day, I always had in my mind a few figures lying quietly in the broken gatehouse, three dirty little boys of five or six years old, holding the cold bread tightly in their hands, with a satisfied smile on the corner of their mouths, laughing a little distressed, and on the other side of the thin little girl leaning against the wall next to me, with her head hanging down and covered by her long dirty hair, there was also a satisfied smile, but the smile made me feel more shocked. ”

"The same smile that sleeps forever in a dream with a smile contains a completely different sentimentality for me, such a stinging and so moving, such a loss but so a feeling. ”

"Lily, I don't think I'll ever forget the name, and I even regret not hearing her say it in person, the pure little girl like a lily, with long light brown hair and eyes as clear and deep blue as the sea, even in the cruel cold and cold ice and snow, she tenaciously blooms her warm flower bones. ”

"From that day on, I decided to remember that neighborhood with my own name, hoping that Lily's smile would warm the whole of Einves. And I was constantly tormented in my heart, and I thought hard about this socialist system, because I didn't want to see a kind child like Lily and the children disappear silently in the ice and snow. ”

"So, sir, what is wrong with me thinking so, and what is wrong with me doing this? Although I am not very clear about the identity and responsibility of the authorities, I have also learned in my short life that everyone is a living creature who works hard in the Twin Realms, and they all yearn for peace and a stable life. Hunger and cold have constantly oppressed the living environment of sisters and compatriots, and the evil war has harvested the souls of the living again and again. ”

Just because of the incompatibility of ideas, races, appearances, and customs, we watched the lonely and young children disappear cruelly and silently in the cold wind. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't, I can't ignore or even ignore the tragedy that is happening in front of me. Although my ability may be weak, I am willing to put in my own efforts for it, even if the cruel reality weighs me down, but at least, I have a clear conscience. ”

The choked and hoarse voice still echoed in the council chamber, mixed with a few cries peculiar to a young girl.

My eyes were slightly red, but my heart was calmer, maybe after today, I could see Lily again.

Bang Bang Bang ~... Boom~

Suddenly, the chubby Lord Churchill and the middle-aged heroic man who took the lead in the attack stood up one by one, and burst into bursts of applause.

My eyes couldn't help but become warm anymore, and for the first time, I felt the breath of life on my hypocritical face.

Maybe at the beginning of the meeting, I was still planning to get by and get by, but out of fear and slowly in the process of telling, the smiling faces that have been lingering in my mind these days have made me have to move the bloody touch hidden in my heart.

Yes, this is not a story I made up, but a fact that really happened the other day.

That day, according to Michelle's instructions, Allen took me to the slums to distribute supplies and propagate socialist ideas.

At first, Alan thought she was an assassin, but fortunately I stopped her, and she smiled innocently at me and praised Alan for being so cute, but she didn't know that she was the most beautiful scenery in the neighborhood at that time.

Even though the street is still the same as it was, the most beautiful scenery can never be found again, even if it has changed completely because of my arrival.

Some of the beauty can only be used as a souvenir.

It was also from that moment that I did not jump to my feet and angrily clamored for a strike because of the assassination, but instead put on a false mask and silently cooperated, hoping to make the smile in my mind come to this unfortunate world again.

"Your Highness Arya, you are a true angel, may the Light always be by your side, Harvey Stein apologizes for the previous disrespect to you, and I, the Stans, are willing to serve you as Lord and clear unnecessary obstacles in your path. ”

When the applause gradually faded, the great lords of the council room, whether sincere or vain, were all very moved with emotion.

The heroic young man of the Stan, who had taken the lead in attacking me earlier, calmly looked at me and took the oath of allegiance on one knee, and this sudden action not only made me look confused, but even the others in the council hall were in an uproar, except for the fat lord who always had a smile on his face, as if everything was under control.

"Your Highness Arya, you don't hurry up and accept the allegiance of Lord Harvey, you must know that Lord Harvey is one of the top ten Great Lords under the leadership of Einves. Hehe. ”

The fat lord with a smile on his face looked at me in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward to remind me to hurry up and agree to the other party's request.

But I was a little hesitant, no matter how I looked at it, I didn't look like a fool, would I really swear allegiance because of my affectionate statement?

And the way this dead fat man smiles always reminds me of a bear child who is always a pit girl behind him. But it's really tempting, the other party is a big lord, in ancient China, it was a prince, or the kind of real power.

After a second of deep contemplation, my mind made a choice.

"I, Arya Wright, declare in the name of the Light that I accept Stan Harvey's allegiance and take a declaration that I will never renounce. ”

With a thud, he pulled out the holy sword at his waist, and with my declaration, the holy sword also flashed with holy light. It's stupid to have a cheap and not to take advantage of, in line with the principle that the big guy has always been to protect his life first and benefit second, and now he has a big lord as a guarantee, and this small life is saved.

After this series of events, no further changes were made at the meeting, and after the date of the winter hunt was set for three days, the meeting was hastily concluded, and the lords walked out of the council hall and returned to their respective camps to make their own plans and reflections.

Just as I was about to leave, Churchill's big chubby face staggered towards me, and I was relieved to look back at Stan Harvey, who had not yet left.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Arya, for frightening you. You don't have to worry so much, all this is actually expected by His Royal Highness Michel, who did not tell you before for fear that you would show a flaw. It's just that I didn't expect you to speak so well, and even the Stan clan swore allegiance to you, which greatly exceeded His Highness's original plan, and now it seems that His Highness's plan has also been greatly advanced. ”

"As for the Stans, Your Highness, you can rest assured that they are peace-loving and good, and although they are strange among the Berserker families, their strength is beyond doubt. ”

"Originally, His Highness's plan was for you, who are kind-natured, to get close to each other in order to reach a preliminary alliance. And Your Highness doesn't need to doubt me, Mentor Arroyo and His Highness Dimir have more important things to do, so it is inconvenient for them to appear in the near future, but after today, it will probably be completely completed. ”

"Your Highness Arya, please go back and rest first, Your Excellency Alan should have been waiting in a hurry. ”

Looking at my unkind eyes, Lord Churchill hurriedly got up and explained after the crowd dispersed, for fear that a certain vengeful girl with a careful eye blood would settle the score.

I glanced at Allen, who was standing outside the door in armor, and then turned my head to look at the fat lord who was smiling in cold sweat, rolled my eyes, snorted coldly to express my dissatisfaction, and I left, after all, as the nominal leader, I still have to show my generosity.

After I left, the space in the corner behind Harvey Stein distorted for a while, revealing two slender figures, one old and one young, none other than Dimir and Arroyo, who had not been seen for many days.

At this time, Harvey Stein did not have the heroic and unruly spirit before, but made a courtier salute to Dimir with a respectful face.

"Your Highness, how are you observing?"

Harvey looked at Dimir with some restraint.

"It's not bad, I've investigated everything that should be investigated these days, but I didn't expect Arya's words today to lead to some changes. It seems that some of the names of those on the list that should be eliminated should be retained, while some of the people who are deeply hidden should be removed as soon as possible. ”

"Michelle is right, the winter hunt is both a crisis and an opportunity, it depends on how we grasp it, but I always hide it from Arya, and I still have some regrets in my heart, I hope she can understand it in the future. ”

"What is the so-called sin, what kind of secrets are hidden in the Twin Domains, and what kind of picture is behind the Holy Light, it is really exciting!"

Now Dimir did not have the usual hippie smile at all, but was serious and a little scary, and the temperature in the hall reflected by the cold light in his eyes seemed to be frozen.
