Chapter 104: The First and Final Parade
Viji persuaded softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, that's not the case. From the point of view of the elves, the witch who caused disaster in her own country will of course accept the final judgment in her own country, but we want to take her away, which is an unreasonable request. If we wantonly make this request, we will undoubtedly be arrogant, and it will not only provoke people's suspicions, but also put the princess's father in a situation of full doubt. β
Yuri added, "That's right, you just think of us as hunters who fight to eradicate tigers in the forest, and in the end we only take the tigers, not a single fallen leaf." β
The emperor acquiesced in these words.
The princess had tears in her eyes, she could not accept this result, because she knew that she owed Yuri and Virgy too much, and had promised her money and glory on the way in order to coax them to bring her back to the imperial capital, but now the memories were flooding again, and the princess only hoped that every word of these promises would be fulfilled.
She hated her lying tone, hating the idea that "these two fools must be deceived, and I don't have a penny to pay them". If Yuri and Virgi had left today with nothing, the princess would have asked the goddess of fate, could it be that I had been the result of my insincerity in the first place?
The princess is unable to convince Yuri to give up Layla's soul, so she constantly regrets her past.
If I left Yuri and Vigi with the impression that "once you sell your partner, you can achieve your goal", that is the most regrettable thing in the world.
So the princess decided that this time she would be willful for Yuri and Virgy.
"Father. The princess's eyes flashed with determination, "If I have to exchange something precious for Layla's soul anyway, it doesn't have to be due to Yuri, but it can also be the princess that I have regained with great difficulty." If you don't agree to their request, the Yuanxia Palace, which I finally returned to, and the name of the princess who saved the country, can all be discarded. Losing a wise and martial daughter doesn't feel good, right? Hmph, so my father should think about it!"
The emperor's expression flickered, and he said for a long time, "Originally, I was about to start mentioning the second important topic. Flora, I have appointed you to be the first heir to the throne of the Golden Forest. β
This explosive news made the princess's eyes widen: "What, what?"
She searched every corner of the palace, and saw only the shocked faces of the ministers, but not her brother Aurora. Where is this boy, shouldn't he have jumped out immediately to oppose this kind of thing when my father announced it? Why did he choose to be absent at the moment when I wanted him to stand up and fight for the throne with me the most in my life?
The first in line to the throne represents the future monarch of the country, and this weight is so heavy that the princess can no longer be coquettish and coquettish to intercede for Yuri. Before the princess had time to think about whether she should be happy or embarrassed, the ministers applauded enthusiastically.
Yuri grinned, "Your Royal Highness, this title is very suitable for you." β
Virgil was also relieved: "The future of the country is in the hands of the princess, which is the most reassuring. β
The Spirit Wind Knight bowed slightly: "Since His Majesty the Emperor has agreed that Benaryis and her body will be taken away by us, we will take our leave and go to discuss with the magicians about stripping the dark consciousness." β
By the time the princess reacted, Yuri's back had disappeared beyond the magnificent palace gates.
She listened to the voices of the courtiers, and suddenly felt very lonely.
Flora rushed into Aurora's mansion with her fists in her hands.
At this time, Oloran was quietly staying in the mansion, watering the hydrangeas in the sun.
"You still have the heart to water the flowers?" asked the princess angrily.
"Hydrangeas are the favorite flowers of the generals of the military gods. Auloran replied calmly.
"You know, you're not the first in line to the throne anymore! I can't believe you've chosen to remain silent about this!" the princess asked aloud.
"Because this is Areno's last wish. Oloran smiled and replied, "He doesn't think I have the courage to be a virtuous monarch, and Sister Flora, you can undoubtedly become one of the greatest elven queens of all time." During Areno's lifetime, I never listened to his advice. Then his last wish, at least I should keep in mind. β
"But I ......," said the princess, who did not know what was so good.
Returning to the imperial capital, becoming a princess again, replacing the ominous physique with a heroic posture, and even ascending to the throne one day and becoming the empress admired by all the people, all of this seems to be the ending that the princess once longed for, and now it has all become a reality, do you want to say "But I don't want this"?
Auloran put down the kettle: "You and I have been fighting for ten years, and now I finally admit defeat, willing to admit that I am indeed much worse than you, originally hoping to see the winner's smile on your face." β
Auroran paused slightly: "But why does your expression look so lonely?"
The princess was so distraught that she turned around and ran without saying goodbye, wandering aimlessly on the streets of the imperial capital at sunset, not knowing how many markets she had passed, and finally crashed into Yuri who had returned.
"Yuri, you ......" The princess's eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't speak.
Yuri gently shook a bottle of pure black slow-flowing liquid in his hand: "Princess, the magic of stripping Benalis consciousness is going well. Layla has regained her former spirit, but she is too weak and is being treated at the magician's camp. β
The princess looked in a trance: "Is it so smooth?"
"yes, it went well!" Yuri said, tilting his head, puzzled, "aren't you happy about this?"
"Well, of course it's worth having fun. The princess forced a smile, "It's just that you didn't call me along." β
"It's just a trivial matter, so I won't bother the first princess. Virgy said softly.
Did this pass so lightly? I thought that the process of extracting the witch's consciousness might lead to some kind of chaos and a new crisis, yes, Benalis, maybe infect the magicians present, or run in all directions, letting the mountain beasts gallop in the clear night.
And if this kind of accident really happens, Princess Ben should once again put on a light green corset hunter's robe, spin two daggers in her hands, and ride a horse into the mountains and forests, and Yuri and they will continue the thrilling battle, right?
But I never imagined that one day, when I heard the words "safe and sound, good luck", I would feel such a strong sense of loss in my heart. I never thought I would have wished for a longer adventure.
"Really...... That's great. The tears in the corners of the princess's eyes were reflected in the setting sun, and the amber will always treasure not the little butterflies from ancient times, but the unspeakable parting feelings buried in the bottom of her heart.
"Your Highness Princess, you should smile even more. If you, who have experienced the most hardships and sacrificed the most efforts for the motherland, can't really laugh, then who is qualified to celebrate the victory?"
Yuri took out the Mirror of Shadows and condensed the light of the sunset into a small hair ornament, brilliant and warm, and then gently pinned it to the princess's long golden hair.
"It's not precious, but it's out of print. Yuri said kindly, "After all, I don't think that old fellow of the Divine Knight would have the heart to use the Holy Grail of Light Destiny to make another jewelry for you." So at the carry ceremony, be sure to wear it. β
The housekeeper of the palace hurried over and asked the princess to discuss the ceremony.
"So...... Goodbye, Yuri, Virgy. β
"Goodbye, Your Highness Princess. On the day of the ceremony, we will definitely be there. β
The celebration of the victory in the war, which was also the promotion ceremony of Princess Flora, was held under a crisp autumn sky.
The royal guards in brilliant armor lined up majestically, their shining silver spears dangling blue and white ribbons embroidered with olive branches. The wounded Guards General and Steelwing Generals followed, riding the Swift Dragon and the Mechanical War Horse, respectively, smiling and waving warmly to the people. Then slowly passing through the square, there were several teams that had made outstanding achievements in the war, the heavily armored samurai regiment was too heavily armored to ride on horseback, and could only sit on the chariot and laugh heartily; the Jinxi Swift Dragon Knights, which were officially established after the outbreak of the war and soon had the power to fight with the elite troops of the Moon Elves, drove the restless swift dragons with great difficulty, and at the same time tried to control these fellow beasts from eating the fragrant chicken legs handed by the spectators on the side of the road; and the team composed mainly of beautiful and gentle women in white robes held high peony flowers, they were the medical knights, and the casualties of the soldiers in the war were due to their extraordinary effortsThe Eagle of Mysteries airship forces cut a stream of clouds in the blue sky and rain down colorful candy rain into the crowd of people, the defenders of the border fortress wore rock-colored armor, they were the resolute men who fought from the beginning of the war to the end, the united defenders of Cangjin Fort wore iron-red robes, these warriors of some dwarven blood were the last line of defense of the Golden Forest, and the legions of the City of Rose Cross were ornate robes embroidered with flowers and crosses, and they were once poets and artists, who now also played flutes and violins as they walkedγ But in the battle for the city of Rose Cross, none of these seemingly weak young people retreated, and their deeds inspired people to no longer fear the flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder.
"It's "Four Seasons Suite: The Golden Autumn Chapter". Virgi quietly listened to the singers and dancers, and felt the sweet smell of the harvest wind in the music.
