16. Longing and love
"I'm sorry Xiaoyu. ”
Panting, Alice finally returned to Xiaoyu, who was still in a low mood, although the "little rabbit" who had been running wildly for a while was actually tired and wanted to lie down now, but she still had to hold on to her emotions in front of Xiaoyu, who was more sad and sad than her.
Alice was the last to return to Xiaoyu, and judging from the expressions of the rest of her companions, they must have found nothing. I can't find it, even if I wander around the entire forest, I can't find it, and Sister Yu, who chased her out with an angry face, is obviously no longer in this forest where the "Holy Domain" is hidden.
The knights with higher mobility have already gone to the beach to look for it, but Sister Yu is just a mermaid after all, if she still retains the last of her sanity, she should be able to know that there are not many places in this sea area that can really allow her to move freely, there is no shelter on the beach, and then continue to run wildly is the place where nearby tourists live, if Sister Yu, who is a mermaid, runs there...... I'm afraid it will cause a lot of commotion. However, so far there has been no movement around, and the only possibility is that the human does not dare or have the ability to set foot in it......
The sea?
It is the home of mermaids, and it is a place that humans would never dare to set foot in easily. Only there can the tails of the mermaids really play their role and truly show their beauty. Other words...... Only then the clear blue, sometimes chaotic and turbulent sea, is the only place that can completely accept mermaids.
If Sister Yu really hid in the sea because of sadness and anger, then no one except Xiaoyu would be able to find her. But Sister Yu was so excited when she left, it was hard to imagine that her personality was too reckless, and she could stay in the sea and cry for a while.
"Xiaoyu. ”
Alice patted Xiaoyu on the shoulder, although the little mermaid, who was still sad for herself and her sister, was immediately frightened and trembled, but finally calmed down. As if her whole body had lost her strength, she even needed to rely on Alice's support to stand up completely, but after experiencing a series of setbacks and regrets for her, Xiaoyu finally had some courage in her eyes.
That's fine, at least when Xiaoyu calms down, you can't mention this unspeakable conjecture to her. Speaking of the tragedy of her sister, who fell in love with the person she longed for with a more fiery romance. Love is a war, although Xiaoyu and Sister Yu are the closest sisters, but when facing this problem, I am afraid that it is inevitable to fight.
"Actually, your sister is ...... too"
"I love His Royal Highness the Prince, too. ”
Xiaoyu stopped crying and answered Alice's words with an attitude that was too calm. She seems to be so calm, but it is this undeserved emotion that reflects her current inner struggle.
That must be...... I can't make a decisive choice between the affection of my relatives and the longing for love, and I show my anxiety.
"Probably...... I already knew it when I got a pair of legs from my sister. Xiao Yu clenched her fists, and even now, her eyes tried to move in the direction of the prince, even if it was all in vain.
The "little mermaid's" illness is getting worse little by little, and now she can't even "take a look", but even so, she is still working hard with common sense to continue to look forward to.
"Because at that time, my sister also had a pair of legs, and the other four sisters were just a fishtail. I thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, and my sister didn't want to tell me...... Now it seems...... I'm afraid my sister's feelings for His Royal Highness the Prince are deeper than mine. ”
"No, it's not a matter of depth. ”
Alice pressed Xiaoyu's shoulders and shook her awake from her distraction.
Innocent, lively and kind-hearted little mermaid, why are you so stupid in handling your feelings? so stupid that you are like playing a child's game, and you can't properly face your feelings with Prince Perry as an "adult".
No one will deny the feelings of a little mermaid who has waited for the prince for ten years and is still the same, but ......
"What you have for the prince is 'longing', and Sister Yu's love for the prince is probably love...... They...... It's not the same at all. ”
It's not just different, it's just a world of difference. Sister Yu kept hiding her love, but she couldn't put aside her concern for the prince, she accepted everything from Perry, so she could show all the fiery emotions in her heart in front of the sleeping Perry without any scruples.
Xiaoyu always tells her longing, but she has been waiting for the prince's gaze, she expects the prince to accept everything she has, so no matter how much she looks forward to the prince, nervousness and worry will drive her away from the sleeping Perry.
This is probably the biggest difference between the two mermaids. One keeps chasing the prince, the other waiting for the prince to chase. Xiaoyu, from the moment your sister fell in love with the prince, you have already lost.
“...... What is that, I don't understand, Miss. ”
Is it really because she doesn't understand? Or is it that the longing of the past ten years has bound Xiaoyu and made her unable to move forward?
The beautiful little mermaid's face was already filled with tears, and she flicked her tail to run back to the prince's place, but as if she were a child learning to walk, she did nothing but what she thought was "success".
Even if the prince had fallen asleep peacefully in a place a few steps away, the beautiful little mermaid would never have seen her again. All this is because of the feelings called "longing", and it is they that stop Xiaoyu's steps. If from the beginning, from a certain moment this relationship was transformed into a love with Sister Yu, it would probably not have turned out like this.
The sleeping prince would not wake up now to tell Jade what she had hoped for. The only good medicine is only Sister Yu's admonition and reprimand, but the current state of Xiaoyu and Sister Yu...... Can you really have a good conversation?
At the very least, she must ask Xiaoyu to find her sister first.
"Na, Xiaoyu, listen to me!"
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!"
Are you a conflicted child?
"Alice, someone's coming!"
Just as Alice was about to make some "ruthless moves" to calm Xiaoyu down again, Irina's cold scolding made her turn around. Not only Alice, who admonished Xiaoyu, but even Xiaoyu was frightened and motionless because of Irina's trilling reminder.
Someone came over with a shaking, and...... Something is wrong!
"Wow! Well, this is Lord Werther!"
The first to notice that something was wrong was a napping Luna, who was about to run to help the swaying painter when she was interrupted by Winnie's voice.
"Don't touch her casually!"
Ignoring William, who was at a loss, Winnie immediately ran to Werther's side with the medicine box. The rickety painter leaned near the tree as if she had lost much strength, and the scarlet stain of her silver hair was indeed a dangerous beauty, but it was evident that no one had the leisure to admire it now.
"It's ...... Piercing wounds!" After a cursory judgment, Winnie hurriedly rummaged through the medicine box.
"Hey, you idiot! Why don't you lie down nearby! You'll bleed to death if you walk this far!"
No, it's Winnie who is missing a tendon, right? Who could have spotted him in a short time when he lay down nearby? and...... Being seriously injured for such an innocent reason is obviously something bad.
Speaking of which...... Where has Charty, who had traveled with Werther before, gone?
"A painter's life is very expensive, ......"
Probably too lazy to refute Winnie, Witt closed his eyes a little tiredly, and dropped an unsettling admonition, "Little girls, hurry up and hide in the Sanctuary, and tell the adult...... The invaders are coming. ”
