vs 11 A covenant, an oath
"These are all things that Uncle Hedaway told me afterwards, and I was in a coma. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Alicia leaned against a boulder and said smugly.
Daron leaned next to her, his face solemn, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Hediway was still alive afterwards, but Alicia had already told him the fact that Hediway was dead, so he only felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw in the rushing rapids, but he saw that another bigger wave was coming towards him. In the end, he will still be washed away. Hope is false, despair is the only result.
"It turns out that everything is the ghost of Karan and Yega, and I will definitely make them pay for this account!" Talon had bloodshot eyes, and his nails were embedded in his flesh because of the force of his fists, and blood flowed from his fingers.
Seeing this, Alicia pulled out a yellow silk scarf from her body, took Daron's hand, and gently bandaged his wound. Quietly looking at the girl on the side, Daron said: "After that day, according to the soldiers at the scene, when they followed my father and you to the cliff that day, my father jumped off the cliff with you because he was desperate. Now that I think about it, Kahlan must have bought those soldiers into false testimony. As the saying goes, there is no proof of death, and since then, my father has become a traitor, and no one can peek into the truth of the incident. ”
"That's right. We tried to contact the generals my uncle knew, but from that day on, the palace was under martial law, and it was difficult to infiltrate. Alicia said as she wrapped the silk scarf around Darlon's hand like a bandage.
Daron's face flashed with a hint of heaviness, and he asked weakly, "Then how did my father die?"
"Sick and dead. ”
"How so?"
Alicia finished the bandage, tied a lovely bow on the back of Darlon's hand, raised her head, she stroked the curls of her ear, and said, "Uncle was hit in the back by the assassin when he jumped off the cliff that day, and he injured his nerves, so he didn't avoid the rock on the edge of the cliff, and in order to protect me, he hit the rock and was seriously injured. Although he went to the doctor, he suffered internal injuries to his organs and could not be cured, and his uncle had been vomiting blood since that day. ”
"Where did you all live after that?"
"I lived in seclusion with my uncle in the mountains and forests, and my uncle taught me swordsmanship, taught me knowledge, and he was great, really great, and let me learn the knowledge and techniques that a knight should have in just 2 years. ”
"2 years?"
"Well, the doctor thought it was incredible, saying that such a serious injury could last for two years, what a strong willpower it would take to do it. But in the end, my uncle became more and more ill, and in the last few months he could no longer get out of bed. ”
"And the last time, you were by my father's side?"
"yes, the only thing I could do for him at that time was to stay by his side. ”
"My father, is he walking peacefully?"
"He walked very peacefully, but he left a word. ”
"What?"
Alicia lowered her head, her voice trembling a little, "I can't die on the battlefield with the body of a warrior, but I would like to bury my bones here with the gift of a warrior." ”
"......," two lines of tears flowed from Daron's eyes. He remembered that although his father was a very strict man, he was also one of the most respected generals in the country. He made a clear distinction between public and private, treated his children as harshly and justly as every ordinary soldier, and treated his country with all his might, until the last drop of blood was shed for it. As a great warrior, the greatest wish and sense of glory is to die on the battlefield. But now, why did my father, who should have been admired by all people, die in such a remote mountain forest and suffer unjustly?
"As a princess, even though I am already a dead countryman, I saw him off as he wanted. ”
Then the father could also look at it. Daron rudely wiped away his tears and sniffled.
"He finally asked me to go to the royal capital to look for you, and gave me your heirloom sword as a token, but when I disguised myself as a distant relative to inquire about your existence, I was told by the royal guards that you had been removed from the Knights, and that the sword had been taken away by the greedy guards. ”
"Well, my father is a traitor, and it is already very merciful to give his son the punishment of exile, and it is estimated that there are many people in the palace who support his father, and they are afraid of triggering unnecessary emotions. Daron looked into the distance, remembering when he had just joined the mercenary profession. At that time, he was in low spirits all day, in order to find his missing father, visiting relatives and friends, but in the end he was expelled by these so-called relatives and friends, no job, no support, and now he is left with only a hand of swordsmanship taught by Hediway. So he went incognito and joined the mercenary industry. When he entered this industry, he found that all the etiquette in the palace and the authoritative class are bullshit! The people here live a life of debauchery and debauchery, and their money is exchanged for their own lives. Although many people think that mercenaries are a group of outlaws who help people when they have money, Talon admires these samurai who are on the verge of life and death, and they are enjoying every minute and every second of their lives.
"How did you live after that?" asked Darlon.
"I'm wandering, living a life of cats and dogs, petty theft~"
“......。 It's hard to imagine that a princess of a country would become a petty thief. ”
"This princess is not a little thief, this princess is a thief!"
"Rogue Warrior?"
"Well, there are a lot of hungry and cold people in the town, Billy, Cunir, and Gordo are all 6 or 7 year olds, and they have lost their parents since they were young, just like me, and every time they steal back the loot, I share it with them. And Mi'er, who lost her legs in the war, couldn't have been happier when we carried her through the streets, and even though the people around us looked at us viciously and avoided us in disgust, we felt so happy. By the way, and Farry and Sonny, this brother and sister bring us a lot of laughter every day, and now that they have gone to heaven, I am sure they must be filling heaven with joy by now. ”
Listening to Alicia's words, Daron's heartstrings were touched.
After Angras's death, Yega appeared as the rightful heir to the throne, teaming up with Kahlan to put pressure on the parliament and semi-forcibly get them to help with the accession to the throne. Under the rule of the Black Emperor Yega, a part of the people were abandoned in the corners, and the refugees and poor people of the war were not disposed of as they should be, so they were left to fend for themselves.
And Alicia, partly because of the disaster, partly because of her own character, think that the princess of a country can actually mingle with the lowest civilians in society and sympathize with their lives. If such a person becomes the king of a country, then the future of the kingdom must be full of smiles. Life is inherently important, not to say how noble it is to have the blood of nobility in its body, nor does it mean that the children of vagrants must be discriminated against by others to live.
Since his accession to the throne, Yaga has vigorously attacked the theory of blood, abolished the court of nobles built for pleasure, demoted a large number of nobles who received high salaries but had nothing to do, and promoted most commoners to high officials. This did win a lot of popular support, but it also met with parliamentary opposition.
Ever since Yaga ascended the throne, the parliament has been opposed to him. The parliament is the legislative and arbitral body attached to the royal power, and in Galbadia, the royal power is the supreme power, and the parliament is used only for the negotiation of bills of high importance. This system is very different from the Holy Kingdom of Faris, where the divine power is much higher than the royal power, so it is the Pope, not the French King, who has the actual power.
Although Yejia was very happy to eradicate the lazy nobles, it was also due to his own hatred of the theory of blood, and in essence, Yaga was still a veritable tyrant.
Since he ascended the throne, he has continued to recruit troops and store food in the country, turning a blind eye to the poor people and blindly strengthening his military strength, which is a very conspicuous act in the present period of relative peace. But the Duchy of Los is currently too busy with civil war to be distracted. The Holy Kingdom of Faris will always be like a person who does not offend me, and I do not offend anyone. As for the magical power of the distant kingdom, it remains mysterious and indifferent. But everyone can see that Yega has lit the fire and is ready to raise an army to fight, and it is still mysterious to Los and Faris, which only Yega himself knows.
Although his ambitions were already clear, his maverick attitude and unwillingness to consult with anyone made the parliament's dislike of him several times worse.
The excessive military power of the kingdom has led to a deficit in the kingdom's finances, and the people have suffered greatly from oppression. In this regard, Yega did not take any measures, and soon lost the support of the people.
At the same time, many people in the country who couldn't get along fell into the grass and became bandits. Officials and thieves unite with each other to exploit the blood of ordinary civilians. Galbadia has taken on a bleak picture.
Alicia, this underage girl, if she still has the ambition to serve the country, Daron is willing to go to the soup for her, and it doesn't hurt to give her this life, he just wants to restore his father's shameless reputation and let the motherland return to its former state, so that Hediway can also be blind under the Nine Springs.
In order to test the girl's strength, Talon spoke:
"Are you willing to fight for those people's tomorrow?"
Alicia turned her head and winked at Darlon, obviously not quite understanding what he meant, so Daron changed her sentence:
"Billy, Cunill, Goldo, Mill, Farry, and Sonny, will you go back to tomorrow for those people?"
"If I can ascend to the throne, I will definitely build a country where everyone can live happily. This time, Alicia read the meaning of Darlon's words and blurted out without hesitation. It is conceivable that this sentence is her heart. However, Alicia's determination was too idealistic, and in response to this, Daron did not wear it at this point.
"I want to give a bright future to all the people of the kingdom, for the sake of the warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country in the past, I still carry the faith entrusted to me by my uncle on my shoulders, and I still have the blood of my father in my chest, and I have not forgotten for a moment what I lost that day. ”
Looking at a 16-year-old girl who could say such a decisive word, Daron couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.
"In that case," he said, stretching and rising from the ground, slapping the grass clippings off his ass, "Daron is willing to be your exclusive mercenary forever." I swear that from now on, my life will be yours. ”
Alicia winked at Daron with wide eyes, and suddenly her mouth flickered into a funny, mischievous grin. "Wow~ What a sudden confession! It's too sudden to explain as a plot!"
"Tell you, I'll tell you, didn't you promise to pay me before, and when you regain the throne, you won't be able to give me a cent less of this money. ”
Alicia ignored Darlon's muttering, and looked down to herself:
"Then there is a scapegoat when the stealing is discovered, and a backing when you escape. You can also steal more things at once, and you can even devise some tactics for you to lure the enemy or something. ”
"What kind of enemies are you luring? Are the individual traders your enemies? Anyway, it's all about stealing, and sure enough, the thief doesn't change his mind. ”
"It's a thief!"
"Where's it like!"
"Wow~ I'm going to be in the same room often in the future, ah~ Iliya, please pay tribute to my lost chastity!"
"I'm not dead yet, and besides, I'm not interested in underage girls!"
"Woo woo~ It's cruel, I want to be a beast, but I first put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and Shenma hates it the most!"
Daron pressed his forehead with a faint pain, he really didn't expect this girl to be able to say this, is it because of the imagination of the spring period, or is it because of the rebellious psychology of adults?
Seeing Daron fall silent, Alicia couldn't help but smile victorious.
"Haha! Looks like I won. ”
"I don't understand what you're winning......"
"Won the initiative! In the future, remember that I am the master, and you are a servant~"
“...... I retract the preface, it seems that you will be a tyrant in the future. ”
"Good guys~I want a servant more~"
"You girl......" Daron clenched his fists, teeth chattering.
"Okay, this Mr. Darlon, please don't be angry, under this starry sky, a girl is talking to you affectionately, do you have anything to disagree with?"
"It's not so much affection as insinuation......"
Patting Daron on the shoulder, Alicia said in a comforting tone:
"Don't care, don't care. ”
Daron shook his head helplessly, and suddenly, he wondered if Alicia's personality was pretending to be cheerful because he wanted Talon to see a positive princess.
"I'm hungry, take me to dinner!" Alicia suddenly exclaimed.
"You forgot that you took every penny?"
"Then sell you. ”
"I just sold myself to you! No, I donated it to you, for free!" Daron still thought that this little guy should be a demon.
"Hey~Darron, Darron~" Alicia called Daron by name as she put her hand around his neck and met his eyes with a grin. Seeing a pair of big ghostly eyes flashing on a delicate little face, Daron couldn't help but be a little shy. Isn't it just an underdeveloped little ghost?
"Don't you peek at people's boobs?"
"Hell, peek!
"Yes, yes~ Do you want to see it?" said Alicia, about to untie the placket under her leather armor.
"Huh, huh??" Daron began to snort blindly, what kind of god twist is this, isn't this a healthy juvenile book? Why does it seem to be about to enter the trend of erotic romance? Daron wants to retreat, but finds that there is a boulder behind him, and he has no way to retreat. That flattering eyes, that sultry posture, is this still the underage hairy girl? Damn, is Uncle Ben going to lose his body here?
"Spare me, stop playing. Daron raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Haha! And you say you're not interested in people?" Alicia put away her seductive expression and stuck out her tongue and grimaced.
I've got you, Daron thought to himself. How competitive is this girl?
"Talon ~ Talon ~"
"What's the matter?"
"Well~~~ I still like the name Dean too. ”
"Then when you get back your honor, your country, I will also get my name back. ”
"Alright, then we're done!" Alicia jerked, slammed into Darron's broad, thick shoulders, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Wow wow! Danger, you girl, it's a cliff to slide down. ”
"Oh, it's strange, it seems that the effect of paralysis powder is back~dizzy~"
"Don't go that way! Wow! If you want to kill yourself, you're going to go alone! Why are you choking my neck!"
In September of the year 1201 in the continental calendar, a pair of men and women with an age gap of more than ten years planted a pact on this hill, they were witnessed by the starlight, and at the same time an oath was buried in the hearts of the two, this is a nick, equivalent to a contract, from today on, the warrior gave his soul to the girl, how the girl was going to abuse this innocent creature, that was something that Talon could not think of.
