Chapter 31: A Friend's Mood
Yuri picked up the princess and patted the broken brick on her head: "Hey, Virgie, you guy, since there is a way to escape, why do you have to wait until now?"
Virgi tapped his monocle: "It's really not cost-effective to go to jail for nothing, since you can leave at any time, at least you have to record a little valuable footage and then leave, so that you don't lose money." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Auroran panicked: "Your lenses are made of light stain crystals? Damn! Open this damn door for me! Catch them!"
Virgil raised his right hand and saluted slightly between his eyebrows, and said with a proud smile: "Oh, if I had been willing to open the iron door earlier, wouldn't I have saved a wall? β
With that, Virgi's robe was raised, and along with Yuri, he held the princess's arms and jumped down the bustling underground waterway.
Yuri looked around, only to find that this underground waterway was the same one that he and Virgy had walked through on the eve of saving the princess. At that time, Virgil posted rune cards on the wall, saying to himself, "Although I hope this passage will not be useful", he didn't expect that the wall happened to be the outer wall of the Purple Gold Prison.
Virgi knew what Yuri wanted to ask, and replied in advance: "The most useful adventure lesson I've learned over the years is that people always have to leave a way out for themselves. After studying the map of the city provided by Prince Aurora, I thought about leaving an explosive rune on the outer wall of the Purple Gold Prison, because I was worried that if the mission to save the princess failed, we would definitely be caught and locked up here. β
Vicky sighed, "And then we were locked up here, but for a different reason than I expected. β
The princess stopped, clenched her little fists, and her blue eyes shone with a sparkle of light. She said something indignantly, and then scolded, "What the hell is going on with you two, do you know how much trouble you've caused me by doing this!"
"I'm sorry......" Yuri said dejectedly, "We also listened to Aurora's lie that after you passed on important information, you would be thrown into the Jingmei River, and your soul would be wiped out......"
The princess crossed her waist and laughed exaggeratedly: "Hah, I was thrown into the Jingming River?"
"We did check the information, and we asked the people on the street, and the procession did lead to the Jingming River, and the Jingming River is indeed the river of the dead, and being thrown into the river of the dead is indeed immortal, so we ...... Believe. β
The princess leaned her face to Yuri unhappily: "Didn't I tell you what a despicable and shameless guy Oloran is? I didn't expect that in the end, my friendship with you for more than a month was in vain, and you still mentioned that hypocrite as cannon fodder without thinking!"
Yuri thought back to the princess's heroic feat of beating the little bell to the brim and selling her without blinking, and thought to himself that it was because we had a good relationship with you that we subconsciously couldn't believe you.
"And I, Flora, am I like the kind of great martyr who will die heroically for the sake of my country? Even if everyone is finished, I can live as strong as a dog to the end!"
Yuri nodded busily, convinced of the words.
"So you two stupid, useless guys, why do you have to do such a superfluous thing?"
Virgy whispered, "Some things seem superfluous, but there are always people who can't help but do them." For example, Her Royal Highness the Princess, if she hadn't dressed like this to come to the cell to rescue us from prison, and pretended not to know us at all, maybe Auroran's false accusation against the princess would have come to an end. β
The princess glanced down at her exotic outfit and clenched her chest flushed.
"In short, when you hear that the other party is in danger, your mind will be greatly reduced, and you will often do stupid things regardless of yourself, and this kind of mood is the mood of friends who care about each other. β
The princess's eyes sparkled: "Who, who are your friends?
Yuri stood at the outlet of the underground sewer that joined the stream, just as the morning light was blooming, and in the eyes of the princess, the figures of these two down-and-out knights had a bit of fortitude and reliability in this faint and bright dawn.
The princess's eyes were hot, and she said with a sour nose: "You two, it's really inexplicable. β
"I'm sorry, and thank you, Your Highness Princess. Virgie stood in the wind and said in a crisp voice.
Yuri was the first to jump on the high rock and said heartily, "Teacher Qiao Luya has taught me an important philosophy of life, and you should have 100% trust in your friends. It's because I forgot this sentence that I let Auroran have a loophole. β
Yuri pulled Vigi onto the rock, and the two of them stretched out their hands towards the princess together, and said seriously: "Then from now on, I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can become friends with us!"
The princess was stunned for a moment, then smiled coyly and took their hands.
"Your teacher is the Knight of the Aurora?"
"So does the princess know the teacher too?"
"Knight of the Dawn is an older sister with an eccentric personality. The princess squinted her eyes and smiled like a beautiful daisy, "I didn't expect her students to be strange fellows too." β
The princess remembered that she had lived in a gloomy mist every day of her journey to the Munti Adam Messenger of Peace.
Uprooted, eating and living everywhere, these can be endured, but the long moonlight shines on the body and is bleak, and the bright sun will never shine on this wild land.
The rough moon elves munched on half-baked meat on a log table, drank and had fun when they were full, drew their swords and danced when they were drunk, and beat each other as they danced, and Prince Kayir, who sat on his throne, laughed. It was clear that it was the royal court, but it was noisy and barbaric like a tavern where inferior people gathered.
The princess frowned, sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the royal court, helpless, and the military attachΓ©s fought so hard that they knocked over her table, and the fruit she relied on to satisfy her hunger rolled all over the floor, and the princess had tears in her eyes, but she did not even have the courage to sob.
Prince and Princess Kayl were the same age, but they were brave and heroic, and when they saw the delicate princess from the Forest of Golden Dawn weeping at the lively banquet, they only felt upset, so they took a knife and cut the most ripe piece of the roast sheep and threw it to the princess, and said fiercely: "Hey, if you don't want to starve yourself, just eat something!"
"But this is a lamb...... said the princess sadly, "in my country only the most savage and lowest, kill animals and eat their flesh." β
Prince Kaim replied unceremoniously: "So your country, which occupies such a vast and fertile land, and whose population is three times that of my own, will be able to compete with a lonely country!"
With the utmost patience, he cut the mutton into three small pieces, dipped it in rough rock salt, and handed it to the princess's mouth, and said sharply: "Don't forget, here alone, you are not some proud princess, but only a messenger of peace who has made mistakes. Or to put it more bluntly, you're just a hostage, and if you don't want to suffer, you'd better be obedient. β
The princess closed her eyes tightly and let Kayl take the mutton and smear her mouth full of oil, but she never opened her mouth, and Kayl angrily threw the barbecue meat on the plate, waved his hand and said to the courtiers: "That's it! Don't pay attention to this stupid roe de roe brother princess!
Endless loneliness and denial made the princess's life bleak day by day. The princess misses Sorantiel's delicate raspberry cake and honey muffins, and finds Muntia's diet even more difficult to swallow. Recalls that he is the pearl of his father's palm, the princess who is cherished by everyone, and here, he is just a clown who Prince Kayl can call and drink casually, just to make fun of.
Kayl ordered the princess to dance the dance of her hometown, and the princess had no choice but to comply. Obviously, this graceful dance has always won him many praises, but in the royal court of Kalir, it can only cause boos and ridicule.
"Is this kind of slow movement worthy of being called a dance?" said the general's youngest daughter, who was the same age as the princess, with great disdain.
"No wonder the world says that the sun elves are soft guys!" the bearded military attache said impolitely.
Prince Kaim leaned lazily on his throne: "What a bad dance. β
Although he was not a good dancer, Kayl always ordered the princess to dance, of course, to add to the joke.
The Ranger General Raphael couldn't bear to sit back and watch the princess being humiliated like this, slapped the table and got up, and said, "The princess is not feeling well today, and she can't dance for all the adults. β
"Your princess isn't funny if she doesn't dance. Prince Kaim said with a chuckle.
"I'm willing to work with the princess and try to make everyone laugh. β
Prince Kayl clapped his hands: "Well, the Lone King likes a righteous man like the Ranger General, who is loyal to the Lord. Pour wine for the Ranger General, and the Lone King will accompany him to drink a full glass!"
When he returned to his lodgings, the Ranger General was so drunk that he vomited several times, and then he could only lie on his bed weakly, as if he had a serious illness. The princess struggled to bring hot water to wipe the Ranger General's face, but tripped over the heavy chair, and the overturned water made the General's already cold and damp room more like a water prison, and the princess couldn't help but feel sad and disgusted with her clumsy self.
The Ranger General struggled to his feet and helped the princess up.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's good to leave this kind of trivial matter to you. There is no reason for the princess to take care of the guards. β
"But!" the princess's tears welled up in her eyes, "I am so useless! Not only am I useless, but I will only cause trouble to people! The people of my hometown say that I am an ominous princess, and that bad luck will surely happen to those who are close to me, and now even the Ranger General ...... I'm all tired of it!"
"Don't take other people's words to heart. Flora is a gentle and kind child, and I know that best. β
The Ranger General tried his best to care for and comfort her, and although she could ensure that Her Royal Highness had a safe and smooth life, it could not soothe the guilt and self-abandonment in her heart. Seeing that the princess was getting thinner and thinner under the triple pressure of homesickness, ridicule and guilt, and looked in a trance, the Ranger General was really helpless except to be secretly anxious.
