Chapter 40: A Clumsy Confession
Yuri jumped up happily: "It's the Guards General! Great! She's finally safe!"
Virgi also closed his left eye, shook his arm and shouted briskly, "Here we are!"
However, the princess and the guard general were silent, as if the reunion at this moment was not worth joy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Guards General had a little blood on her body, she covered the bloody wound on her arm, and sat quietly by the pale campfire, her hand stretched close, but she didn't seem to feel the warmth of the flames.
"That person is the Ranger General Raphael. The Guards General looked up and asked in a dejected state.
Yuri and Virgy had never heard anything about the Ranger General, so they didn't react in particular. And the princess clasped her knees tighter, and replied hoarsely, "You know?"
"Didn't you say that he just stayed in the Forest of the Misty Moon to take care of the aftermath?"
"I'm sorry, I lied to you. "The princess's head is buried lower.
The Guards General coughed incessantly, and said with a look of devastation, "Didn't he resolutely lay down his power and position, and willingly accompany you in Muntia as a small retinue? ”
"There's a reason for that. I didn't tell you beforehand to avoid unnecessary trouble. ”
The Guard's breathing slowed and rapid, her chest heaving, and the intense pain turned into a fire that scorched her heart. She wanted to say very much, her subordinates understood, what Her Royal Highness the princess didn't want to reveal, and her subordinates had no right to ask, and even patted the princess on the shoulder, saying I understand that you must have a hard time in this matter, and her subordinates believe that in this world, only the princess and the ranger general will not betray each other.
But the Guards General couldn't do it.
She still remembers that when she was a girl, after training every day, she secretly carried water to irrigate the small flower fields hidden in the bushes in the backyard of the military academy. If such a child's behavior is seen by a stern father or a superior, he will definitely be severely criticized.
But this little secret could not be hidden from the Ranger General, because he was a great archer, and every tree in the forest, was his eyes.
"With such a rush of watering, it is inevitable that the flowers in the first few rows will be too full, and the flowers in the next rows will be dry. Planting flowers is a very delicate job, and the mood is so impetuous that the watering is uneven. ”
The general of the guards at the time, Miss Miraya pursed her lips and stomped her feet: "Raphael, you know how to speak cool words. Listening to your tone, you seem to know how to irrigate each flower evenly?"
"Of course, it's up to me. ”
Raphael took out a feathered arrow engraved with ice runes and inserted it into the bucket to infuse it with magical power, and the water in the bucket slowly formed a thin layer of ice shell. Then Raphael jerked up the water that had hit the ice and threw it into the air, bending his bow and shooting arrows through the ice shell accurately, and the water turned into a drizzle, evenly sprinkled on each flower.
Miraya clapped her hands and applauded: "Raphael, you are amazing!"
"I used to hunt demons in other countries, and it was a waste of effort to shoot them to death with one arrow after another in the face of the swarming low-level dark creatures. So I would throw the holy water bottle into the sky and shoot through it with an arrow, and the rain of holy water would destroy the enemies in a short time. ”
Raphael watched the drizzle under the sunset rise a warm rainbow and said: "Because I miss my hometown, I call this trick the rainbow crown rain, when the rainbow crown palace blows the trade wind to usher in the rainy season, if the rain is sunny at the beginning, you can see such a rainbow." ”
Later, at the graduation ball of the military academy, although Miraya, who had excellent grades, was dressed up brilliantly, the bad boys who lost to Miraya out of jealousy, not only invited her to dance together, but also said that Miraya today is still a female man's demeanor.
Miraya was so angry that she almost punched and kicked the bad boys. But this is the prom, the most beautiful day of a girl's entire youth, once you stretch out your fist, even if you defeat the bad boys, you will lose it too.
However, Raphael's fist, which was grabbed by Miraya behind him, turned her domineeringly and took her into his arms.
"You've refused to be my dance partner many times, sorry, but now I don't think I can maintain a pitiful gentlemanly demeanor in the face of you like a goddess, and then sit back with regret and wait for the time to pass by tonight. ”
"Huh?" Miraya blinked, her face flushed.
Accompanied by Raphael, Miraya was also immersed in a beautiful waltz, and the two danced in a dance that overshadowed the boys and girls around them.
At the gazebo, Miraya said a shy thank you to Raphael.
"It's up to me to thank you. It's an honor to have you as my dance partner. Raphael said modestly.
"Raphael-sama has been a great help! You, you have so many girls lined up to ask you to dance, it's not that you can't find a dance partner. Why, did you choose me?"
Raphael's eyes twinkled: "I just want you to understand that you are not just a girl who will be jealous of boys. is also a girl who is enough to make all girls jealous. ”
Later, after the events of the Great Collapse, Raphael decided to give up his status as a ranger general and accompany the princess to a foreign land.
Raphael took off his general's robe, changed into an emerald green hunter's suit, and did not answer anyone who kept him, except to stand in front of Miraya, who was extremely sad without saying a word, and said with a smile, You come with me.
The two of them sat on the shore of the frost lake on a summer night, under the bright and clear moonlight, the starry sky reflected in the lake, and the fireflies danced on the surface of the lake, like the little starlight rising from the Milky Way in the lake.
Raphael pilled his arm lightly and said, "I just felt for the first time today that it is wonderful that elves have such a long lifespan. ”
"Why, all of a sudden, do you feel this way?" Miraya asked, blinking her eyes and tilting her head as she knelt on Raphael's cloak on the floor, with her knees together.
"When Miraya was only one year old, I was eight times the age of Miss Miraya, which is undoubtedly quite a difference. When Miraya grows into a little girl with pigtails and celebrates her eighth birthday, I will be only twice as old as you. ”
Raphael breathed deeply in the refreshing air: "As long as the time is long enough, the age difference between me and you will eventually approach zero." Then I maybe, I can bravely say that I may be qualified to fly with you. ”
Miraya covered her face in surprise and shyness: "You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Raphael looked at Miraya solemnly: "I have accompanied the princess for many years, and I don't know how long it will take to return to my hometown. It stands to reason that when I say this kind of thing at this time, I undoubtedly want to delay the life that belongs to you, and it is really undeserved. It's just that if I can't tell you personally, I actually want to be with you forever. ”
Raphael stood up, bent down and bowed, "Please forgive me for being abrupt, for me, I may not be able to bear such regrets if I can't talk freely before I say goodbye to Qingkuo." ”
"Huh?" Miraya was dazzled by the sudden confession.
Raphael's face was also flushed, and he said very nervously: "Of course, I don't mean to let Miss Miraya wait for me to come back. Miss Miraya wants to fall in love with anyone, and she is free to fall in love. If you don't remember that I could be happier, please don't remember me. And at this moment, it is just a person who is about to travel far away, and he must confide in him before he sets foot on the road ahead. ”
Facing the incoherent Raphael, Miraya couldn't help but bump into the deer, stood up and said, "Hey, Raphael, have you considered my feelings in doing this!"
Raphael's eyes widened, thinking that his confession had been ruthlessly rejected, and his sadness could not be concealed on his face, and then he said decadently: "I'm sorry, sure enough, I still bothered you." I'll send Miss Miraya home. ”
Miraya knew that Raphael had always been dashing and would not lose her sense of proportion in front of any beautiful girl, but today she was so flustered and confused that she couldn't help but be angry and funny, and she didn't know how to reveal her heart, so she had to say honestly: "I mean...... You are going to be Princess Flora's entourage, did you consider my feelings when making this decision? ”
Raphael was stunned for a moment, and a bright light suddenly rose in his eyes, it turned out that it was not a ruthless refusal, so this sentence sounded more moving than all the sounds of heaven.
Miraya thought, she doesn't need to dance happily.
"Actually, I thought about your feelings. Raphael patted his chest and said frankly, "I will not abandon the princess because she encounters adversity, and I can fulfill my promise to protect her without abandoning, such Raphael, I think is a man worthy of Miraya's appreciation!"
Miraya recalled that earlier, when the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had agreed to send the princess as a hostage to the enemy country to pray for peace, only Raphael stood up and spoke out, saying that it was a shame for the men of the Golden Dawn Forest to put the fate of the country on a little girl and avoid war by sacrificing the happiness of a young girl, rather than relying on the bravery of men with swords to achieve peace.
Miraya felt that Raphael at that time was chic and handsome.
Nodding and smiling: "That's right, this is the great ranger general in my mind." ”
As the morning glow fades red into the sky, Raphael prepares to embark on a journey.
"Miraya, I don't expect you to wait. You can be proud of my choice, it's already the best gift I've ever received!"
Miraya handed the small vanity box to Raphael, both happy and reluctant, tears welled up in her eyes, and said to Raphael: "The princess is a good child, I hope that with you by her side, she can live a good life." ”
