Chapter 926: Courage Returned
(2-in-1 chapter, more today and tomorrow)
...
Friends who fell on the bed... Solandale came back to her senses and muttered, "Lorna..."
Ma Ban said helplessly, "Her dragon keeps guarding the outside of the mansion every day, and her mood is very irritable, and the attendants are in danger every time they enter and leave, and I heard that another person was injured today. It's not a way to go on like this, you can find time to see her, let her get up early."
After listening to Ma Ban's words, Solandale couldn't help but close her eyes, and a thick self-blame welled up in her heart.
After the war, Lorna was so devastated by Denisha's death that she cried until she vomited blood at the grave, and she is still paralyzed in bed.
Solandale didn't want to visit Lorna, but after she took the throne, the ministers were pressing step by step, the new deal was frequently blocked, and endless problems were pressing, so she had to focus all her energy on official business, and forgot the grief of her friends for a while.
Solandelle slept all day, and there was a lot of work on her hands, but she couldn't care about it now, so she temporarily handed over her official business to Mabana, and then boarded the carriage and rushed to Lona's mansion.
As soon as Solandale arrived at the mansion, he saw the attendants whispering outside, and another man was covered in blood, and the doctor was helping him to bandage his injured arm.
Seeing Solandale, the attendants greeted one after another, "Your Majesty."
Solandale asked the injured with concern, "Are you alright?"
The wounded hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I'm fine, just a little flesh wound."
Solandale nodded, told him to rest, and walked into the courtyard.
In the courtyard is a crimson dragon tied to a thick iron chain, which is Lorna's scarlet night.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and the scarlet night is already bone
Thin as wood, he fell to the ground and was dying, his half-closed and half-open eyes kept blinking, as if they would close completely at any moment, but his throat was still making threatening noises to the comer, and no one was allowed to approach.
One of the attendants sighed and said, "This dragon keeps watch here every day, not letting people in, not giving anything to eat... The palace veterinarian can only put it down with large doses of sedative repeatedly every day, and then inject it with nutrient solution."
"But this is a dragon after all, how can you do it without eating... But we have no choice but to watch it lose weight day by day..."
As soon as Solandelle was about to step forward, the guards stopped her, "Your Majesty, it's dangerous."
"It's okay." Solandale motioned for the guards to step back, she knew that Scarlet Night just didn't know those outsiders and felt that they were going to hurt their master, so she didn't let them come closer.
Solandelle grew up playing with Lorna, and was one of the first people to know Scarlet Night, and was familiar with its temperament and temper, so she cautiously stepped forward and whispered, "Scarlet Night, it's me, I'll go in and see Nana." Sleep well, I'm here."
Scarlet Night had been injected with a large amount of sedatives before, and it was originally hard to hold on to not falling, but now when it saw familiar people, it couldn't help but relax a little, and its eyes finally closed completely, making an even breathing sound.
Solandelle entered the mansion and came to the room where Lorna was.
She thought she was ready, but when she saw Lorna's current situation with her own eyes, her heart was instantly shattered.
The last time Solandelle saw Lorna was at Denisa's funeral, when she was so grief-stricken that she cried until she vomited blood, but she was so good that she was now connected
….
The human appearance is gone.
Lorna was lying on her back on the bed, her eyes half-open and half-closed, hollow and numb, and no matter how Solandelle called, she just looked at the ceiling and didn't move.
Because she had been lying down for too long, and the attendants sometimes did not turn over in time, Lorna's body was full of bedsores, large ulcers, muscles atrophied due to lack of exercise, and her limbs were severely swollen, and a single press was a blood mark.
Although she was awake, she was unconscious, she didn't know how to eat the food when it was delivered to her mouth, she didn't know how to swallow the water dripping into her mouth, and she didn't chew for a long time, causing her cheeks to collapse and she was as thin as a skeleton.
In order to keep her alive, the doctor could only inject her with nutrient solution, and the blood vessels on her arms were pricked many times, all of them were deflated and covered with denseness
Dense needle eyes, they are connected to the festering skin, like a corpse that has been dead for an unknown amount of time.
Denissa's death was too hard for Lorna.
To be honest, although Lorna used to always talk about her mother, the impression of Sula's biological mother in her heart was actually very light.
After all, she was too young when the two parted, and she couldn't even remember her mother's face, and could only recall some memory fragments.
Many times, Lorna's "mother" is just a spiritual symbol that supports her to keep running on the road of life.
And since living with Denissa, this symbol is no longer unforgettable, because it has been replaced by another, more important person, who took over the responsibility from a friend and took care of the child who had been lacking love since childhood.
But now... Nothing is gone.
The one you love the most dies for yourself, and the one you love the most dies at your own hands... Lowe
Na's heart completely collapsed, and her whole life was destroyed.
In this world, everyone will have a home, but she has no home anymore.
Looking at Lorna, who was neither human nor ghostly, Solandelle's vision blurred, and these tragic images clung to her heart like a devil's claw, tearing out bloody scars.
"Huh... In front of the attendants, Solandelle tried to keep her image and tried to hold back her tears, but she soon choked with her depression, almost suffocating her, so that she coughed and choked, and the crying also took out of her throat, and tears rinsed down.
It is said that it is difficult to achieve both the family and the country.
When Solandale was a child, Pertheus didn't come home all day, and she cried because she missed her father, and her mother told her this truth - the king cares about the world and the world is his home.
At that time, she was just ignorant and did not have a deep understanding of this sentence.
It wasn't until she became queen that she really understood what it meant.
I don't know from one day on, her mind is full of new deals, new deals, new deals, those hungry and cold, helpless people, and other things seem to fade away.
Friends who were once inseparable and accompanied day and night suddenly cut off contact.
Even if she grew up and had entanglements of interests, in the face of grievances spanning more than 500 years, she still abandoned her family mission, put everything down, and resolutely stood behind herself.
But what did I do to her...
Maybe it's because they've been together for too long, they're used to it, and they take each other's goodness for granted, and they've never put their concern for Lorna first.
….
So much so that she suffered such a big blow in her life
, collapsed in bed in grief and despair for several months, and he was still buried in official duties, and he didn't come to see her for so long.
For a moment, Solandale even had the urge to be a queen! Abdicated directly, took Lorna into seclusion, and spent the rest of her life with her.
But this is just an unrealistic impulse after all, if she really does this, it will be a betrayal of herself and others, especially Lorna, who has paid her the most on this road, I am afraid that she will be the most disappointed.
Solandelle wiped away her tears, stepped forward and put her arm on Lorna's shoulders and kept shaking, "Nana, you get up, I'll take you out for a walk."
Lorna didn't react, her eyes didn't even have a hint of light, she was like a puppet and let it shake.
Lorna's lifeless appearance was in perfect contrast to the liveliness of the past, and Solandelle's tears flowed down her eyes again: "You get up... You've been lying down for a few months, how long are you going to lie down? Get up!"
Solandale dragged Lorna out of bed, but surprisingly, it was effortless, because Lorna had been bedridden for a long time and was more than half as light.
However, even after being dragged out of bed, Lorna remained motionless, her head accidentally broke on the side of the bed, and half of her face was bleeding without responding, and she collapsed to the ground lifelessly.
Solandale knew that the blow had made Lorna close her heart and escape from reality as a way to fight her grief, if she could not be called out of this numbness
Wake up, she will run away until the day she dies.
Solandelle wiped away her tears, and in order to reawaken Lorna's concern for reality, she was ruthless and deliberately aggravated her tone: "
Okay, if you want to be paralyzed, you will be paralyzed, and I will not care about you if you are paralyzed to death! But can you care about Scarlet Night?!"
On the scarlet night, this dragon companion who had made a blood oath with Lorna in the dragon house and walked through countless lonely years together finally made her react.
Lorna's out-of-focus pupils constricted slightly, although she was still mindless, she blinked faster than before, and muttered vague words in her mouth: "Scarlet... Scarlet Night... Scarlet Night..."
Seeing that Lorna finally had a reaction, Solandel continued to choke up and said, "You have been paralyzed in bed for months, and Scarlet Night has been watching outside, waiting for you every day and every night."
"Because it can't see you, it's so anxious that it can't eat meat and drink, and the attendant can only use an anesthetic needle to stun it every day, and then inject the nutrient solution. Its body is almost unable to hold on, and if it doesn't eat, it will die!"
"Aren't you its owner?! Isn't it your blood oath partner?! You just leave your partner alone, lie here and break down, escape, and let it be tortured outside?!"
Lorna's eyes finally brightened, and they were quietly misty, and her limbs trembled and became more and more pronounced, trying to struggle to her feet.
However, after months of not moving, her muscles atrophied and she couldn't stand at all, so she could only lie on the ground and struggle to crawl out.
Solandale grabbed Lorna's arm and wrapped it around her shoulder, propped her up, and helped her out of the room.
In the courtyard of the mansion, Scarlet Night had fallen asleep under the effect of sedatives, but perhaps sensing the approaching of its owner, it opened its eyes with difficulty and woke up.
….
Scarlet Night is obviously very weak, but in seeing
At the moment, Lorna's tail that had been hanging for months suddenly stood up and swayed happily from side to side in the air, and it struggled to move this way, constantly humming and chirping in its throat, like a spoiled puppy.
Seeing Scarlet Night's skinny appearance, and thinking of how it has been outside rain or shine for months, Lorna couldn't help but shed tears.
With Solandale's help, she threw herself into Scarlet Night's arms, hugging her neck tightly, "What are you doing... I don't eat anything... I just slept a little longer... Why are you so stupid..."
Scarlet Night snorted and rubbed Lorna's head, her tail flicked from side to side, and her mouth was grinning like a silly child laughing.
Finally, the stone in Solandelle's heart fell to the ground, wiped away her tears and asked with concern, "Nana, I haven't eaten for so long, what do you want to eat?" I'll have someone do it for you."
Lorna whimpered, "I want to eat roasted whole beef..."
"Okay, fine, no problem." As soon as Lorna directly ordered the name of the dish, Solandale hurriedly said to the guard, "Quick, notify the chef to make a roasted whole cow."
The guard was a little embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, there is only cut beef in the curry, where did you get the whole roast beef..."
Solandale nudged him, "If not, I'm going to buy one and come back!" I want to let her eat it, and all the expenses will be charged to my personal expenses."
The palace was very efficient, and the caravan quickly went to the peasant households in the city to buy a beef ox to raise, slaughtered it, bled it, removed the organs, and then brought it back and smeared it with spices, and set up a grill to roast it until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and nourished oil everywhere.
To be an ordinary person, a few months to live only on nutrient solution, stomach
It has long since shrunk to the point that it is not the same, and the diet can only slowly recover, and it is difficult to eat.
Fortunately, the dragon knight has a special physique, Lorna cried and ate at the same time, ate a bite by herself, fed Scarlet Night a bite, and ate for an afternoon, but she ate a big beef cow to the skeleton.
Lorna was sitting there in a daze after eating the roasted whole cow, when Solandelle crouched down beside her and whispered, "Nana, let's go to Wind and Snow Alley."
...
When the two arrived at Fengxue Alley, it was already evening, and the old mansion was still sitting there, but there was no longer the laughter of the children of the past, only the lonely whispering and caressing of the wind
A tombstone commemorating the deceased.
This tombstone has no name, because there are so many names that need to be written that it is impossible to write it, and all the dead children at 24 Wind and Snow Lane, as well as Denisha, are all buried here.
At dusk and the setting sun sprinkled all over the courtyard, Lorna stood in front of the tomb in a daze, tears already flowing down her face but not knowing it, and said hoarsely, "You say... Why did she do that?"
"She knows that she is the most important person to me, why did she leave me, why did she leave me..."
Solandale stood beside Lorna, silently staring at the tombstone, "Because she can't go any further."
It is a broken body, there is not much life left, and it is meaningless to die early or late.
What's more, the moment I drew my sword and stood by the tyrant's side, no matter what the reason, there was no place for me in Dogulland.
...
Lorna's fists clenched, her voice twisted with whimpering, "Then why did she die at my hands... Why do you want to lie to me and make me suffer the pain of killing her with your own hands..."
Solan
Dale looked up at Lorna's side face and said deeply, "Because she wants you to keep going."
A child who has been brought up by a traitor since childhood, if he can't kill the traitor himself, will always be pointed at by a thousand people.
Then turn my body into a fire and burn away the dirt for you.
...
Lorna closed her eyes, tears reflecting the setting sun on her face, like drops of scarlet blood, falling on the hem of her soaked clothes.
Suddenly, a light breeze blew, and Lorna felt something from Solandelle
She opened her eyes and saw that it was a sword-shaped badge - the "King's Blade" badge that had belonged to her mother, the White Dragon Sula, and had been inherited by Denisha and finally handed to her.
The evening wind wafted the smell of neighborhood food, and time seemed to go back to the past, back to the days when the children in Fengxue Alley were frolicking in the kitchen with Dinisha in their arms.
In the end, the last trace of confusion in Lorna's eyes dissipated, and she faced the fading bloody sun, stretched out her hand, and held the relics belonging to the deceased into her palm.
