Chapter Seventy-Two: May You Be Like a Star
This is a forbidden place for heroes, where only the body and soul of the loser are imprisoned.
Ai Suyan pushed open the cell door, her azure eyes shining like ice crystals.
"Don't worry, you don't need to think of yourself as my man, for I have never seen you as a real enemy. After a long time, Ai Suyan suddenly lowered his head, and then said unexpectedly.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a certain silence.
After some time, the prisoner raised his head.
"And you know what? From the moment you swung your sword at me on the wall, memories of the past made me forget the battle before me for a while. ”
His voice was calm and solid, firm enough to be worthy of the title of "King's Guard" who had been the pioneer on the battlefield.
However, Ai Suyan's heart suddenly became a little confused.
"Are you also a Silverwing?" the Praetorian continued, but with a hint of anticipation.
The prince was silent, just staring into the guard's eyes.
This strange guy is unexpectedly unfazed...
However, he chose to nod his head slightly.
Then the guard's gaze snapped back, and then he coughed slightly as if he understood something.
"I know so, but it looks like your 'Silver Sword' and 'Clear Sky Pupil' are still as dazzling and shining as ever. ”
In an instant, Ai Suyan's soft heart seemed to have been directly touched by some kind of direct touch.
He was stunned, but then the voice of the janissary came slowly.
"So I don't know if I should call you 'Imperial Warrior' or 'His Royal Highness'?"
His gaze was stubbornly upward, and the chains between his hands and feet released a cold and merciless cold light, and even the air was mixed with a dull breath.
Ai Suyan's body was stunned, as if it had touched some kind of huge electric current.
My past... Prince... It's not over, but it's long gone... Ai Suyan's gaze instantly gathered some kind of emotion.
I haven't been back to Star King City since that incident...
The beautiful flowers that bloom eternally in my memory, and the magical spring water that gathers the power of life in the courtyard of the royal palace... All of this will eventually be lost in my heart with my memory.
However, at the moment when he flashed his mind, the Praetorian Guard's words continued.
"My name is Bhatti, and I have sworn allegiance to the Silverwing Kingdom and the Lockedan family, Your Highness. ”
The prince looked at him: "Then do you know what happened to the palace incident eleven years ago?"
Bhatti lowered his head: "Actually, I wasn't at the scene of the incident at that time, Your Highness. ”
Then he looked up again.
"If I tell the truth, will you let me out of prison?"
Ai Suyan thought for a moment, then nodded without hesitation, and motioned for Bhatti to continue.
"Looking back on it now, that night was really weird. The Findal Family Mission makes a surprise visit and claims to bring a new and powerful weapon to the Silverwing Kingdom. ”
King Ethor set up a banquet for them in the center of the palace, and laughter and laughter lingered in his cheerful surroundings. ”
"As night approached, however, the Duke of Reddick gave us an important directive. ”
"He declared that the order came from the king, meaning that we should all get out of the city at once, for the Assassins of the Kingdom of Hastan were lurking quietly in the wilderness. ”
"However, when we returned to the city after the night, without noticing anything unusual, we found that we could no longer find our way back to the palace. ”
It was an extremely strange feeling, the whole tall and majestic palace seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, it was half a trace. ”
"We are anxious and dare not betray our old vows, and we are anxious like ants on a hot pot. However, after a while, the palace was presented in a different way. ”
"It burns with flames all around it, like the savage territory of a lava beast, and the scorching atmosphere is accompanied by a terrible scream, all of which reminds us that this crisis is coming straight to the noble king. ”
"Finally, when we hurried to find that the king was long gone. ”
Even the Rockdan nobles, including Prince Asuryun, were silently drowned out of sight. ”
"The next day, Duke Reddick naturally succeeded to the throne with the first claim, and vowed to restore the Star King City, which had suffered for no reason. ”
With that, he sighed.
"I really didn't expect that after ten years, I would be able to see these eyes again, just like when the war had not yet reached the Empire. ”
At this time, he keenly noticed that Ai Suyan suddenly squatted down, and then gently patted his shoulder a few times.
"Would you, then, take another vow to follow me?" the prince's eyes suddenly glowed blue, as if some kind of flame of hope had been rekindled.
Barti nodded, then shook his head again: "But before that, I want to go back to the kingdom in order to clarify the facts of everything. Your Highness. ”
The prince was noncommittal, but the revelation of his inner doubts made him look a lot more radiant.
"Also, since you are a janissaries, why don't you stay in Xingyu King City, but instead go to the front line?"
Bhatti shook his head: "Because this is the order of the new king." ”
Ai Suyan asked incredulously, "Then why did he spontaneously release the protection beside him?"
"That's because, according to legend, he has a much greater protective power. ”
"Eight years ago, a group of mysterious warriors in red armor suddenly arrived, and after their leader had consulted with the king, these guys took our place. ”
"You seem to be angry, Your Highness. As soon as the words fell, he caught a glimpse of Ai Suyan's angry face, so he said knowingly.
The prince clenched the hilt of his sword in his hand, his arm trembling slightly. Even the aberrations in his tone at this moment confirmed that his heart was by no means without waves.
"This guy, it's obvious that he murdered his father!" At this moment, his heart is actually like churning seawater.
"However, I have no regrets about meeting you here, Your Highness. He hung his head and said word for word.
"Coupled with the angry departure of the Celestial River Knights after our war with the Empire, and the gradual withering of the magical power of the Storm Mage Tower, we can now be called one of the most powerful combat forces in the Silverwing Kingdom. ”
"So, with King Reddick's order, we are the absolute elite of hundreds of thousands of troops. ”
Ai Suyan was silent, and her whole body shook slightly.
"All conspiracies and lies will come to an abrupt end in the infinite light of the last moment. At the same time, Bhatti's voice remained firm, even as the harsh conditions in the prison slowly wore down his will.
Then the prince stood up and walked out the door.
"Thank you, friend. I'll let you out of town. ”
At this moment, the eyes of Bhatti behind him glistened with tears, and he looked at the prince's distant back, and then couldn't help muttering.
"May you be like a star, Your Highness. ”
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
In the newly built central tent of the walled city, countless comrades-in-arms are gathering together to celebrate this hard-won great victory.
The night is vast, and under the shadow of stars and moons, it is like the center of the whole world.
"Hah...'Battle of the Storm'? Under the watchful eyes of Marshal Tuyarav and the crowd, a senior officer in golden plate armor raised his ornate wine glass and handed it to Knight William.
"Do you think I have forgotten this old parable, 'When the wrath of the Creator washes away all the sins of the world, victory will come when the clouds clear?' and now I am no longer obsessed with the joys and sorrows of the moment. William raised his glass and drank it down.
"That's right. Another officer took a sip of his drink, "Anyway, although the Imperial Blade has been a great contributor to this battle, why didn't you see that guy?
Everyone was stunned at the same time: This guy hasn't shown up for a long time, can he dare not come?"
"The letter has been sent, so please do not be in a hurry. Tuyarav hurriedly explained, and at this moment, the door of the tent was suddenly opened.
The dusty prince Ai Suyan appeared in the bright light without concealment.
Beside him, Shaka was following unhurriedly.
"You're here at the right time... Oh... Sit down, our hero. Amid the welcome from the entire camp, Essouyan chose a spot close to William.
"I heard you just released a captive?" asked William quietly, to the prince.
Ai Suyan nodded: "Yes." Because of this, it took a lot of time to buy off the guards, so they came a little later. ”
"Your heroism has now become a symbol of the Holy Wing Empire, and it is said that the results of this battle threaten the core power of the Silver Wing, which is truly significant. William said happily.
Seeing that the prince was silent, William yawned slightly: "Then, please enjoy this sumptuous dinner..."
Time passed in the white horse, and in the blink of an eye, the eastern sky, a touch of dazzling bright white began to rise unconsciously.
"A letter from the Imperial Capital, asking all members of the Imperial Blade to hurry to the Imperial Palace in Pompeii. The order takes effect immediately. ”
After the feast, Tuyaraf opened the golden letter in the hand of one of the guards, and then confided the truth word by word.
