Chapter 286: I'm Growing Up Quietly, Too

Lynn stood on the top of the hill and looked out at Fort Horton in the distance.

Fort Horton was the rebels' last line of defense, and if they were breached, there would be no place for the opponents to flee and the chaos would begin to end.

Under the impact of the soldiers wearing the Kahlan family crest, the thick stone gate finally shattered, which also means that the edge of the rebels is finally about to be broken.

With a sigh of relief, he looked up at the sky.

Fort Horton has just had a late spring rain, the sky is clear and blue, and the surrounding area is full of green grass, which looks like a paradise.

- At least in the eyes of Lynn, who is the victor, it is beautiful.

Not long ago, as expected, after surviving the cold winter, the regrouped Rhine army and the rebels really started an unprecedented Armageddon.

The war lasted for more than a month, spilling the blood of hundreds of thousands of people all over the land, and countless once famous genius warriors and mages were killed, and according to rumors, the surrounding rivers did not wash the red in them for three days and three nights.

It wasn't until the first heavy rain of late spring that the war was finally decided.

The royal family won.

This does not seem to be a very unexpected outcome.

Although the royal family was exhausted at the time of the initial confrontation, as an extremely rich and powerful kingdom before the start of the war, its ability to regenerate blood far exceeded that of the rebels who were temporarily pulled up, although the rebels had gradually matured due to the baptism of war, but it was still a little immature compared to an old kingdom that had existed for hundreds of years.

After the cold winter dragged on, the kingdom's army recuperated, calmed the internal chaos, stabilized the situation, and finally succeeded in repelling the rebellion at the beginning of spring with a rejuvenated army.

As the so-called victory is the best glue, this victory made the kingdom surprisingly boiling, the originally low mood was swept away, and all the staff were full of fighting spirit.

Then, with this zeal, they regained much of the lost ground, and even if their opponents were still stubbornly resistant, they were no longer the opponents of the kingdom's soldiers who had been blessed with victory after victory.

With the rupture of Fort Horton's gates, the future of the rebels has come to an end.

"Is it finally going to end?"

A soft sigh sounded from the top of the mountain, and it was clear that it was not Lynn who was speaking.

"Click-"

Charlotte stepped on the lawn, looked into the distance, and smiled.

"Now, everyone can go home."

"Hmm."

Lynn nodded slightly, then turned back to stare at Charlotte, and suddenly frowned: "Aren't you cold?" ”

Although it is spring at the moment, the spring in the Rhine is not hot, and it is even slightly cool because it is after the rain, but Charlotte at this moment is very, very thin, and she doesn't even have a coat.

Charlotte blinked at Lynn's concern and said happily: "It's okay, I'm also a magician, I have magical powers, and I won't be cold." ”

Lynn's tightly knit brow did not loosen, because in his impression, Charlotte's strength was not very good, and if she wanted to resist the cold, she needed magic to penetrate her whole body. With the strength of Charlotte in his impression, he definitely can't do it.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have the idea of going back, Lynn deserved to take off her coat and hand it to Charlotte: "Put it on." ”

Charlotte blinked, and finally put on the coat he handed over, but her little red face was inexplicably a little bulging, as if she was dissatisfied with something.

Lynn just thought that she still didn't want to get dressed, so she sighed: "When the time comes, I won't have time to take care of you." ”

Who wants you to take care of it, now I won't catch a cold, really, you don't want to take a serious look at me.

muttered in her heart, but in terms of action, Charlotte still honestly wrapped herself tightly.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction and looked back into the distance.

Seeing that the soldiers had already pulled out their temperament on the top of the tower, he suddenly whispered: "Next, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

Charlotte obviously knew what he was talking about, so she shook her head slightly: "I'm already very skilled in this matter, so it's not a trouble." ”

The trouble she spoke of was the encouragement and applause she brought to the soldiers after the victory.

As for why the soldiers were encouraged and applauded, it had to go back to before the war.

Before this decisive battle began, in order to repel the enemy, the kingdom asked the remaining nobles to do their best, and Karan obviously responded to this call.

It's just that in addition to the army, they also pulled the little princess out.

This was something that the royal family did not expect.

Originally, in the royal family, the news of the inexplicable disappearance of the little princess has existed for a long time, but because she had a bit of prestige before, she didn't dare to let it go for fear of causing panic and accusations, and because the war was imminent, they couldn't take out their hands to find it, so they kept it.

Who would have thought that she would actually run to Karan's house.

And after knowing the news, the royal family originally wanted the little princess to come back, but Kalan's people replied "instead" of the little princess that she wanted to go to the front.

Not to go to war, but to give everyone a confidence that the royal family will not only hide behind them, but also pick up swords and guns with them.

This reason caused an uproar in the royal family.

Some people think that the little princess is finally ready to participate in the competition for the royal family, and chooses to go to the army to brush up a wave of prestige, thinking that she will participate in the struggle for power in the future to pave the way; But more people, including the king, think that Charlotte is doing a good job!

Since ancient times, it has been a thing that can improve the morale of the army, and the effect is absolutely immediate.

Originally, King Rhine wanted to go to the front line in person to encourage everyone, but because this war was too evenly matched, everyone did not know who the real victory would fall on, and King Rhine's choice was finally dissuaded, allowing him to keep it until he had to play.

After all, they are not rebels, and even if this battle is lost, they still have the ability to do it again.

At that time, it may be the decisive battle that will determine the future.

This battle, while important and crucial, was far from the time when the king needed to go up and take the plunge.

Otherwise, if he loses and the king hasn't run away, then the Rhine is really finished.

And at this time, Charlotte's words happened to come back again, and everyone summed up to let the little princess, who was quite impressive among the people, go to the front line to brush her face, which seems to be a substitute for the youth version!

Besides, the little princess is very beautiful, very beautiful, for those soldiers who have never held the hands of several women in their lives, in front of a beauty with such beauty and identity blessings, must not behave well?

Therefore, if Charlotte is allowed to come, perhaps His Highness will be more effective than the King himself.

The only thing to worry about is whether Charlotte will use this wave of prestige to participate in the battle for power in the palace after the victory, but considering her past performance and personality, except for those princes and princesses, everyone thinks that it is not very likely.

So, the little princess appeared before the decisive battle, and the victory of the war, and her subsequent participation in the care of the wounded, made the soldiers shout "Long live Your Highness, long live the Rhine", which fiercely brushed the wave of favor and prestige.

Not only that, but before each subsequent battle, Charlotte would also appear in the eyes of the soldiers, say a little word of encouragement, and then after the battle, praise them again, and give some rewards to those who had achieved great deeds.

After this operation, in the army, the prestige of the little princess has reached a peak.

But that's not all.

I don't know when and who started it, but the little princess was dug up in the gossip that had been circulated in the market a long time ago - that is, about the fact that Her Highness was a child who was blessed by the gods.

After that, people suddenly realized why they had been losing and retreating before themselves, but after His Highness came down, they began to attack everything.

It turned out that His Royal Highness was a person who had been blessed by the gods, and her arrival meant that she shared the blessings of the gods with everyone!

As a result, Charlotte's prestige broke through the ceiling, and the soldiers looked at her with no longer admiration and admiration, but devotion and fanaticism as if they were kneeling before the idol.

At this point, it is estimated that if she dares to give the order, all the ordinary soldiers will simply ignore the orders given by their general and move forward in favor of Charlotte's voice, although she has not done so before.

But just because I haven't done it before doesn't mean I won't do it now.

Now, she has to give orders to all the soldiers.

"Wipe out the last rebels, and we can go home!"

She stood on the highest wall of Fort Horton and announced aloud to all the soldiers gathered below.

In response to her, it was a tsunami-like "long live".

In most stories, it's not a good thing to set a flag early, as it is likely to be a guide to whipping corpses in the future, but in reality, although this happens, the probability is relatively small, especially if the other party is sure that the tide is over.

The breakdown of Fort Horton represents the collapse of the rebels' last line of defense, and all the Rhine army needs to do is to arrest people.

Go and catch those nobles who caused a rebellion.

However, it is a pity that when the last trace of land was re-stepped on by the Rhine army, they still failed to find the trace of the mastermind behind the scenes, but fortunately, most of the nobles who participated in the rebellion have been caught, and they can be regarded as having an explanation.

Now, it's time for them to go home.

In the golden morning light, Princess Charlotte Ferdinand rode to the door of Catalena, and on her right, one of the leaders of the battle, the fifty-six-year-old General Rubeus Hoyle, and on the left, much younger than the old man on the right.

She is destined to be the next Duke of Karan, Miss Erin Karan.

When they passed through the gate with their triumphant army, they were greeted by the earth-shattering cheers of the people, and even the sky was obscured by the hats thrown up by everyone.

They shouted in unison Long live His Majesty, and the names of the little princesses, and the names of the war heroes who were so well known to everyone under the special propaganda, that they all knew that they had a great role in this war.

At this time, no one wants to recall the sorrow, hardship and hardship of the past, everyone just wants to immerse themselves in the carnival at this moment.

Because after the victory in the war, the king generously gave everyone a holiday, especially in Catalenari, where everyone would have a day of revelry with plenty of wine and food.

Although this may seem to be in stark contrast to the ruins and spoil that will inevitably exist after the war, who cares as someone who enjoys it?

And the people don't care, and the nobles don't care.

Because their banquet is much more luxurious than for everyone.

In the royal palace, at a banquet hosted by the royal family, Charlotte was dressing up for her next appearance.

At her side, Erin clasped her arms and looked at the new little princess with interest.

"Ai, Miss Irene." Charlotte blushed a little ashamedly, "Please don't stare at me like that, I."

As the "perpetrator", Erin obviously did not have such consciousness, and even laughed and said: "Why, aren't beautiful things just for people to appreciate, if you hide them, how boring it is." ”

"Me"

In the face of the other party's ridicule, Charlotte smiled a little reluctantly.

Although she had been living in each other's manor a few days ago, there were few opportunities to meet, and she was still not very used to being alone with each other.

Irene's momentum was really too strong, and she was a little out of breath when she was oppressive.

And

Charlotte inexplicably felt, the other party inexplicably felt, she was stronger and more dangerous today than before?

She seems to have bad intentions towards herself.

After a moment of silence, Charlotte reluctantly pulled a smile: "Miss Irene, my makeup is almost finished, now. I'm going to change my clothes."

"Huh?" Erin raised her eyebrows lightly and smiled, "The dress is complicated, isn't it?" I can help~"

"No, no need"

"No, I can help you."

“.”

Charlotte suddenly looked into Erin's eyes.

Because although the other party used the uncertain word "can" in her words, she still heard the undoubted that could not be refused.

"You" her tone gradually became a little stiffer, "Why are you, suddenly"

"Huh?"

Erin chuckled softly, "Suddenly what? I didn't do anything. ”

Charlotte was silent for a moment: "So what do you want to do?" ”

"Yes." Erin squinted and smiled, and admitted very calmly, "The reason why I am not leaving is because tonight, I want to see you in my sight all the time, and preferably the obedient kind." ”

"If I don't obey, I can't guarantee that I won't do something."

Charlotte, who had already realized that something was wrong, tightened her skirt and stared into the other's eyes.

Then, she discovered something terrible.

"You're going to kill me"

"Huh?" Erin was slightly surprised, "I thought I was hiding it pretty well." ”

Charlotte didn't follow the sentence to continue the conversation, only shook her head: "You can't kill me." ”

"So now, can I ask you out?"

"Huh."

Erin smiled faintly and reached out as if to pinch the girl's chin, but Charlotte dodged her attack with a light dodge.

"Tsk." The action didn't succeed, and Erin was not discouraged, only holding her arms in her arms, "You don't think that you are still qualified to negotiate terms with me now, right?" ”

"You know, the cheers you received before, the light you enjoyed, everything, but it was because of me that you are where you are today, otherwise you would have died a long time ago."

"That's because of him, not because of you." Charlotte pointed the right way.

Erin scoffed, "What's the difference, what's his, it's mine." ”

“.” Charlotte was slightly stunned, and her hands and feet were a little cold, "You are only now because of his instructions."

"Not really, it's just my personal impulse." Pouting, Erin said, "He can't bear to do it to you, a weak girl, and I'm only doing it because I suddenly want to." ”

“.”

"Miss, I'll give you another chance." Erin terminated the conversation and continued the conversation from the beginning, "Are you going to kick me out now?" ”

Charlotte stared at her for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

She smiled softly and peacefully, but her voice was sonorous: "You won't do anything to me, or rather, you don't dare to do it to me." ”

"You mentioned the word 'tonight' just now, so I suspect that you may have an operation to carry out tonight that I don't know about, and I will play a very important role in this operation."

"So, you can't let me die, you can't even do anything to me, let me walk out of this room in an ugly gesture."

"—because you want to use me, participate in the struggle for royal power, and then have a place."

When she heard this, Erin raised her eyebrows slightly: "Yo Ho, you've become smarter."

Before she could finish her sentence, Charlotte interrupted her.

"But if you don't dare to do anything to me, it doesn't mean that I can't do anything to you."

The moment the glow appeared, Erin's face froze.

At this moment, the blue glow in Charlotte's eyes boiled endlessly, and the air around her was squeezed and deformed by the magic emitted from the girl's body.

"It's . Second-order magic. How could it be."

"Miss."

Charlotte stared at Erin with an emotionless gaze and whispered.

"While I don't think it's commendable or glorious to be blessed by the gods, I want to tell you that it doesn't seem to be just a rumor."

"This blessing has allowed me to hardly encounter any bottlenecks in the cultivation of magic power in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, and even the test of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers has passed very easily."

"I know you may be shocked right now, you may be incomprehensible, and you may want to ask yourself why you don't even know what I'm hiding. In fact, I never told anyone about it, not even when I was alone with him. ”

She suddenly chuckled, but the smile was somewhat frustrated.

"Actually, I wanted him to find out for himself."

"I found that I was growing quietly where he couldn't see."
