Chapter 45: Longing for Freedom

On the contrary, in the Forest of the Moon, which has fallen into eternal night, with the efforts of the young lord of Kayir, there are still many loyal generals who are active on their battlefields. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I see, take me to the regent. ”

The princess clenched her fists and strode towards the gates of the fortress.

Half an hour later, Grand Duke Berumar, the Moon Elf Regent, received a communication from Aurora.

After he finished talking, he turned back to the black witch and said solemnly, "Lord black witch, I still don't understand why you want me to negotiate with the prince who has lost power. Now that he's determined that he's going to hand over Flora to us, isn't that going to be a tough one?"

The black-clothed witch smiled, "Since Prince Auroran wants to give us his sister, let's just laugh at it." ”

The regent flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "But this Flora is useless at all! You must know that this peace negotiation is only a means and not an end! It is meaningless for me to detain Flora again as a so-called peace messenger! My goal is always to use the flames of war to create a unified country, so that the sun elves will bow down to them for generations!"

"Don't worry, you'll get your way. The war you were expecting will break out today. ”

The regent raised his eyebrows: "Lord Witch in Black, what you said is true?"

"True, let's go see Princess Flora. Soon you will understand my arrangement. ”

The regent put away his anger, mounted his horse and rushed out of the barracks, and before leaving, he said, "It is better to do so. Black Shrine Maiden, don't forget who brought you into this world, and remember that your mission is to assist me. Why do you want to go against my will, I hope that when I return, you will give me a satisfactory explanation. ”

"Why do you want to start going against your will?" said the black-clothed witch as she looked at the smoke of his horse's hooves, pursed her purple lips, and smiled, "because assisting you in attaining an incomparably high status is a means to me, not an end. ”

The dark regent and the blonde green-clad princess look at each other across the carbonized woodland.

The howling wind lifted the princess's blonde hair like streamers, and the regent's robe like the night.

"I'm coming. The princess frowned, "But why do you want me to come?"

The Regent's flying robes spread out behind him like the wings of a dragon, and the black and red armor on his body took on the shape of a giant beast's head, giving people a creepy sense of oppression as he walked slowly through the smoke of gunpowder.

"I'd like to know why if I could. The Lord Regent opened his eyes, his pupils glowing with a cold blue light, "I can feel that the witch in black is interested in you. ”

The princess smiled faintly: "I'm just an ordinary and unfortunate girl." I didn't expect that I myself was the key to peace, and if I had known this, I wouldn't have had to struggle so hard to return to my motherland. ”

The Prince Regent wanted the princess to repent, and did not want her to sacrifice her bravely, so he tried to provoke her anger and make her repent.

With a flick of his wrist, the scroll of the peace treaty was displayed in front of the princess.

"Are there no men in your country anymore? Why does the peace of men depend on the self-sacrifice of a little girl? Don't you feel unwilling?"

The princess's eyes were full of gloom, but she replied with a forced smile: "Anyone knows that exchanging a little girl for peace in a country is a good deal." If I've made enough money, why should I go back?"

The regent Yin Yu smiled: "If your people have half of your heroic spirit, the Golden Dawn Forest will not decline rapidly in these short thirty years. It's a pity that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who inherited the will of the brave Ludwig like you, couldn't hear a sentence full of nostalgia in the local accent when she parted. ”

The princess's voice became deeper and deeper: "It's not everyone's fault. For example, a group of robbers entered the house, originally intending to slaughter the family, but when the momentum and arrogance were to the extreme, which made the family's nerves tense to the top, the robbers suddenly said, hand over the vase that you don't use at home, and we will let you go. I believe that the first reaction of everyone in this family will be to be busy looking for the vase that is covered with dust. ”

The princess's eyes gradually lost their light: "Of course they will pick up the vase, whether the vase is alone in the dust or not, silently sheltering a seed, blooming a beautiful and delicate flower, they will directly tear off the flower, and then with the feeling of winning the jackpot, give the vase to the bandits." If it were me, I'm afraid I would have done the same. The most difficult thing to understand in this case is not the act of people giving vases, but why do the bandits go so far as to snatch a useless vase?"

"But can you really forgive those who give up the vase?" said the regent, looking down at the princess, "and why are your eyes filled with sadness?"

The princess didn't say anything, but there was a voice in her heart.

That's right, I still hope that someone will stand up and say, don't go, Princess Flora.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the fortress behind the princess, and a dozen spearmen were swept up by the whirlwind and flew out sideways, and Yuri and Virgy grabbed a war horse and galloped towards the princess.

Yuri leaned on his horse, stretched his hand to the ground, and shouted, "Enough is Flora! You've suffered enough for this country! Don't be a useless princess! Get out of here with us, and be a free wandering adventurer!"

This sentence made Flora's eyes shine again.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the most reluctant to be myself turned out to be these two friends who had known each other for a short time.

Just a few minutes ago, Yuri, who had fallen at the command post of the fortress, whispered to Viggy, "Vig, find a way to snatch the horse, and we will rob the princess." I just can't watch her go through what she's been through for the past 10 years again. ”

"But Yuri, if we do this, it will be a big event that will shake the fate of both countries. ”

"him!" Yuri said loudly with his fists clenched.

"Yuri, you're so reckless. Virgie smiled and said, "But I don't hate your recklessness. ”

So the two men gathered their last strength to attack suddenly, grabbed a war horse and rushed over.

The princess turned her head, her fingers twitching slightly, and she found that there was indeed a momentary impulse in her heart to take Yuri's hand and jump on horseback, to leave her homeland from now on, to forget about the old characters, to be free to become a wind, to venture out on this vast land, to ride the wind and waves on a clear day, to sit by the campfire in the rainy hours to keep warm, to bask in the true light of the sun and the moon.

But it is enough for this moment of hope to remain in my heart, and I will always remember your friendship and continue to fulfill my mission as a princess.

The princess slowly retracted her hand and placed her fingers on her chest.

Yuri was in a hurry: "What are you thinking! Grab my hand!"

The princess was about to say goodbye to the boys with a smile as they passed her, when suddenly countless arrows fell from the sky and hit the galloping horse, and the painful horse roared, throwing Yuri and Virgy, who were already covered in bruises, into the dust.

More than a dozen Sun Elf royal guards were brave and vigorous, holding spears and holding the two teenagers to the ground.

"Presumptuous, just two wandering knights, dare to interfere in the national affairs of the sun elves!"

"Is it something as important as signing a peace treaty that you two bastards can interfere in?"

Yuri poured a large cloud of dirt into his mouth and said angrily, "You gang...... Would you dare to raise your head and look the princess in the eye? If it weren't for the princess's efforts to make the situation the way it is, the regent would not have saved your life until this time!

Flora was surprised to find that there were many people in front of her, but she could only see the eyes of two people, Yuri and Vicky. And the dozen or so royal guards turned out to be like faceless people, and each person's face was just right hidden from an angle that the princess couldn't see.

The same goes for the captain, including the captain who got down on one knee and bowed his head to the princess and said, "The troublesome character has been eliminated, now you can sign the peace treaty."

The princess was in turmoil, and the contract in the regent's hand had been handed to her.

Virgy shouted anxiously: "Stop!

Yuri's eyes widened, and he said with bloodshot eyes, "Damn, Flora, don't forget that you haven't paid us for the D-class mission yet!

The princess wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, showed a lily-like smile, and replied with her head sideways: "The D-class mission has been upgraded to A-level, and the bounty has become a hundredfold! Even if you forget, I haven't. ”

The princess's words grieved the boys, but their mouths were gagged with dirt and they could no longer make a sound.

"It's just that the promised reward may not be fulfilled until a long, long time later. ”

Finally, he dipped a quill pen in gold ink and signed the princess's name on the contract.

The carbonized woodland, where hundreds of thousands of troops looked at each other in the distance, was so silent that only the sound of the wind flowing.

Audella, Anova, General Guard, and Mr. Headmaster, are immersed in grief.

Prince Auroran couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The black-clothed witch also suddenly raised her head, showing a look of ecstasy.
