Chapter 259 [The Light in Life]
Lorraine looked at the eyes of the eldest prince, and somehow, the best brother and the only brother in front of her, made her a little strange at this moment.
"Sister, do you remember that there is one of our ancestral teachings, the blood of the royal family, swear to live and die with the imperial capital, and never surrender to the enemy......"
Hearing this, Lorraine suddenly had a bad premonition, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.
"Brother is useless, I can't protect this country, after dealing with the matter on your side, I will fight until the last moment......" There was a trace of unbearability in the eyes of the eldest prince.
"Brother, what are you going to do," the uneasy premonition grew stronger, and Lorraine kept backing away.
"That guy wants nothing more than the same thing, the country he wants the most, and then you!"
The eldest prince walked step by step, he walked very slowly, but Lorraine had nowhere to go.
"I'm sorry sister, I can't protect this country anymore, but I don't want you to fall into the hands of the enemy and disgrace the ancestors...... I'll let you leave quietly without a trace of pain......"
The eldest prince made a gesture, and several guards walked behind him, holding a potion bottle in their hands.
"Sister, as before, can you drink the medicine obediently?"
When she was a child, whenever Lorraine was sick, the eldest prince coaxed her to drink medicine in such a tone, but this time, it was a deadly poison.
"I don't want it!"
People will always face death, but this girl never thought that her day would come so early, she has never really seen and experienced this world, and he and her still have many wishes to be fulfilled.
She wept and pleaded.
Time was running out, and the prince ordered the guards to force the princess to drink the potion.
The effect of the medicine came quickly, Lorraine gradually felt her body become numb, her legs gradually became stiff, and the blood seemed to flow still, she felt a wave of weakness attack, and consciousness was gradually lost.
"Brother, I don't want to die...... Help me......"
Lorraine stretched out her hand, using the last of her strength to reach out, her eyes still had a desire for life, but she couldn't change it all with all her might.
The eldest prince turned his head early, he couldn't bear to see his sister's painful expression, he lowered his head and muttered, "I'm sorry, I don't want to ...... either"
Lorraine fell asleep quietly, and she didn't know how long she slept, and suddenly, she woke up.
She found herself still alive, as if everything was like a nightmare.
"Little girl, you're awake at last," a thin, gray-haired man sat quietly on the fire.
Lorraine noticed that it was like a dilapidated hut, with debris piled on the side, and the environment looked dirty and old.
She has a lot of questions right now.
Who is that person, where is this place, and why am I here?
However, just as she was about to ask, she found that she could not make a sound at all.
"Are you awake?" the man looked at Lorraine, looking at her inability to make a sound, and couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, can't make a sound, it's a pity that you have such a good voice." ”
Speaking of this, he spoke: "I know you have a lot of questions, let me tell you slowly. I don't have a name, because of the way I act, my friends call me a mouse, I'm a thief, I'm a very good one, I often hide in the corners of the palace and listen to you sing, and your singing voice is beautiful......"
"Little girl, you did almost die that day, if I hadn't saved you," the man sighed, "When your brother left, you were the only one lying there, and I came out and found you still breathing." Fortunately, I am also an expert in detoxification, but the poison in your body is too weird, and the antidote I made up temporarily is actually a strong poison, suppressing the poison in your body, but that poison still has an impact on you, and your current loss of voice is still ......"
With that, the man named Mad Rat took out a mirror.
"Hopefully you can accept who you are. ”
Lorraine will never forget herself in the mirror, that ugly face that almost frightened her, she covered her cheeks, and her eyes were extremely frightened.
Is that me? Why am I the way I am? What happened to me?
She has lost her voice and appearance, which she is most proud of, which is really worse than death for her.
She hoped it was just a dream.
"I'm sorry, I've done my best," Madmouse sighed, "your brother is dead, and the country is no longer part of your family. Now there are only two ways in front of you, one is to go to the palace to find the new emperor, maybe he will help you and try to restore your appearance and voice, although there is little hope. The other way is to follow the expelled Xilin nobles to the border of the Lionheart Empire, where there may be a place to stay. All the choices are yours, and I have my own things to do, and I can't take you with me, everything depends on your creation. ”
The man named Mad Rat dropped a money bag, most of which had been stolen from the palace, and he didn't feel distressed, and then he left.
She Lorraine tried to follow, but found that the person had disappeared without a trace.
At this time, she found that she was in a village outside the city, not too far from the palace, and she could see the direction of the imperial capital with the naked eye.
At this time, people came out of there one after another, and now they looked depressed, without exception, they were a little lost, and they were heading to an unknown distance.
She was also spotted by passers-by.
No more amazement, no more praise, looking at him, like an ordinary person, even disgusted.
She was very uncomfortable and wanted to cry, but she couldn't.
Lorraine glanced in the direction of her home.
At this moment, she no longer had the courage to return to that place, and she could no longer face those familiar people.
She knew that the original Lorraine was dead.
She joins the crowd and goes with the flow to the next place she didn't even know about.
As a refugee, she was also treated rudely, using money to buy unpalatable and expensive food along the way. Someone on the road stole her purse, and she even had to beg.
She lost all dignity just to live.
Someone once said that suffering cannot really overwhelm a person, as long as there is hope in the heart, it can bloom one day.
Although he faced despair for a while, he stubbornly walked all the way.
For the first time, she used her own feet to walk far, far away, through strange places.
Maybe she will go on alone forever, to the end of the world.
Until that rainy night, the umbrella that sheltered her from the rain, the worried face, like a light, walked into her life.
Somehow, they gradually fell in love with each other, nothing vigorous, some just plain but warm, and later they made vows in a humble church and became husband and wife. And then they had a lovely and mischievous daughter, like a little angel, who perfectly inherited what she had lost and breathed new life into her life......
