Chapter 4 Maple Grove and Cornflower
Heloise had a handful of her hair ripped off, but her face was still expressionless, "He chose to die by himself, you know that very well." β
This sentence completely crushed the noble lady on the other side, and made her cry loudly.
Heloise handed over a handkerchief, but it was slapped open, and the noblewoman pointed at her and screamed.
"Even if you didn't kill him, he died because of you, this traitor has been colluding with those Wing Clansmen for a long time, and the fall of Lionheart Fort is also because of you!"
Heloise shook her head, "Even if you don't believe me, you shouldn't distrust your husband, since he has been suspicious of me for a long time, how can he let me get in touch with those Wing Clan people outside." β
"Then why were you able to take us out of town?!"
"Didn't you already guess why?"
The lady was stunned, "You...... You really murdered your own husband, how can you be so ...... in this world Such a vicious woman?! β
She racked her brains to find a more offensive word, but her background and cultivation made her end up saying only two words: vicious.
Heloise didn't argue either, her cheeks were sickly pale, as if there was no blood.
Then the noble lady thought of something again, her face suddenly changed, she put her arms around her daughter, and said in horror, "You...... Where do you want to take us? Are we going to the Elven Kingdom? β
Heloise shook her head again, she seemed a little tired, but she spoke anyway.
"The Elven Kingdom has declared war on the Red Lion Empire, so you'd better not go any further south.
"Well, it's not good to go to the east, sooner or later the new land will be those Wing Clansmen, you'd better go west, through the Elk Valley, don't stop at the Golden Valley, continue to go west, go to the west, those Wing Clansmen shouldn't be there for a while.
"Their boss is a very cold but sensible guy, such a person will definitely focus on the big picture, you can go to the West to find Iria, I have met her, she is a very good person.
"And having killed a dragon and defeated more than one Wingd-Clan, she might have a way to stop it...... Those Wing-Clansmen. β
The more Heloise spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she came back in stutters.
"And what about you," asked the noblewoman, ......, "won't you come with us?" β
"No, if I'm going with you, you won't be at ease with me, I'll get off in the woods in front."
The elven queen asked the maid to hand over all the gold, silver, and jewels she had brought with her to the noblewoman.
"Why are you risking taking us out of town?" The lady asked.
Heloise leaned back in the carriage and closed her eyes for a moment, recovering a little.
When I opened my eyes again, I looked radiant.
She said word by word, "I am Heloise, born in the elven royal family, the princess of the forest, and from the moment I was born, I have carried the eternal duties of the royal family.
"βto protect my people, I will not allow anyone to disturb the tranquility of the forest, even if that person is my husband, and I cannot control his ambitions...... Had to kill him.
"But I am also the Empress of the Empire, and I underestimate my father's hatred for the Empire, which will not only destroy the Red Lion Empire, but also my people.
"I've ...... I can't go back to my homeland, and there's no place for me in this land. β
As Heloise finished speaking, the carriage stopped.
The little girl hid in her mother's arms, panicked like a fawn, and she looked at the elf queen in front of her, "Queen Heloise, you ...... Why are your lips bleeding? β
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Heloise wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and managed to squeeze out a smile.
"That's it, take care of yourselves for the rest of the journey, that's the only thing I can do for you."
With that, she pushed open the door and staggered out of the carriage.
Before leaving the house this morning, Heloise had smeared a poison on her lips called the Last Kiss, and she wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the commander of the Wing Clan's army.
However, Solomon was more alert and cautious than she expected, and had no intention of possessing her.
It's a tough guy to deal with.
As for the young man named Sharjah, Heloise saw that he was not very convinced of Solomon, and because of his illustrious origin, she decided to keep him alive.
Maybe it will become the fuse of the civil strife of those Wing Clan people in the future.
As for the rest, Heloise couldn't do it either.
She dragged her weak body into the maple forest in front of her.
Edward II snatched her back, and considering her status as an elf princess, he held a wedding in this wood.
At that time, Edward II did not have the big belly he has today, nor did he become as heavy an alcoholic as he did then, and he was obsessed with discussing the meaning of life with the priests of Cornelia.
After marriage, the two also had a relatively sweet time.
Edward II even swore to her that he would never invade the elven kingdom.
But time ...... It will change a lot of things.
Every word of the lovers swore in the mountains and seas was sincere, but unfortunately no one could have predicted what would happen in the future.
Heloise wanted to find the tree in the forest that they had made their vows to, but now that it was winter, the leaves had all fallen, and each tree looked bare, almost the same.
Heloise searched for a while, but felt that she had no strength, so she sat down against a maple tree.
She looked up to the south, as if she saw again the cornflower-covered hillside she had passed by as a young man.
The Elven Queen closed her eyes contentedly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the early morning of the second day, two dragons, one white and one green, appeared in the sky above White River City.
Their massive bodies seemed to cover out the faint morning light, and the defenders of the city had never seen such a sight, and they all stood in fright.
Before they could react, the two dragons were already swooping down! Open your fanged jaws and spew out flames!
In an instant, an entire wall was set on fire, and the archers and screams on it soon turned into burning men.
The two dragons did the same, and used their dragon's breath to sweep through the other walls, eliminating the defenders on the walls, and then rushed headlong into the city, taking advantage of the fact that the warriors below could not fully assemble, and began to rampage through the military formation.
At the same time, more small black dots appeared in the sky.
Sharjah took the lead, and it only took a few breaths to shoot a dozen arrows in the quiver, and then he pulled out the short knife at his waist and threw himself at a noble-looking man below.
Seeing this, the latter also drew his saber and fought with Sharjah, his swordsmanship was not fancy, but it was very practical and he could see that he was also a master.
While entangled with Sharjah, he was still directing his men to regroup and set up a formation to meet the enemy, which made Sharjah feel a sense of contempt.
He roared, quickened his attack, flapped his wings, and began to change direction in the air more often.
His opponent was becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and Sharjah saw the flaw in the nobleman's move, and without hesitation, he took another half step forward.
It seemed that he was facing his chest towards the long sword on the opposite side, but in fact, the short knife in his hand had already slashed the nobleman's throat first.
In the face of the splash of blood, Sharjah did not dodge, but just stood in place, bathing with open arms.
The momentum he displayed also made the enemies around him fearful.
However, Sharjah felt a little bored after killing a few more people, because he never met an opponent who could excite him.
So Sharjah couldn't help but think of a certain female lord who was far away in the west.
Defeated Ilea of Moen?
Sharjah dodged an arrow from the shadows and stabbed the attacker in the stomach with his backhand, stirring twice inside before pulling it out.
Let's hope we can have some fun with her.
