The evening wind shines through the cracks in the window, gently brushing the girl's soft broken hair. Erin withdrew her gaze from Lynn, reached out and pressed her loose hair, and said, "If that's the case....... Now you're going to see her. Unexpectedly, Lynn shook her head and refused: "No." ”

"Why not? When a girl is at her most vulnerable, she can be forgiven even if she makes a big mistake. ”

"That being said, but ........ Forgive me for not knowing how to explain it to her. ”

"Explanation, what needs to be explained? Why would you want to do that? Erin suddenly laughed,

"If that's what you're referring to, I can tell you clearly, there's no need."

"She's not an idiot, she's got to know why, and she might even be able to help you find a good reason - but if you don't, it's probably going to get you in trouble."

"......." Lynn suddenly turned her head to the side and asked, "You know her well?" ”

"No, I don't understand, it's just ........" Erin stopped talking here, raised her head, and asked,

"So whether you're going or not." Lynn was a little confused: "Something seems wrong with you." ”

"You seem to have been prying on me."

"Is there anything to question about that?" Erin asked very strangely,

"Do you think it's better to be an obedient puppet, or a 'pseudo-king' who holds a grudge against us and may stumble upon us at any time?"

“........”

"Don't look at me, I'm not going to give you any of my insights today." Erin looked away from his gaze and looked at the sky.

"Because I'm angry." She said this, but there was no emotional fluctuation on her face, and no one could tell whether what she said was true or not.

After a moment of silence, Lynn rubbed her brow.

"Then I....... Go? ”

"Hmm." Erin's answer was succinct, and then she added, "Since you've made your decision, I'll go back first." ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Without turning around immediately, the girl opened her arms, gently hugged the young man's waist, and raised her head slightly.

Lynn subconsciously lowered his head and leaned in, but in the next second, he was pushed away.

"I won't kiss you, because your heart doesn't belong to me today." Erin turned coldly, and left the banquet hall without even saying goodbye.

Sure enough, he was indeed angry. Looking at the girl's back, Lynn sighed slightly, then slowly turned around and glanced at the stars again.

........

"Bang Bang Bang-" There was a knock on the door, and as if he knew there would be no response, he was gently pushed open.

Charlotte, who sat at the dresser looking at her numb face, didn't turn her head, even though she could tell who was from the familiar footsteps.

Lynn walked in softly, pulled over the chair, and sat down beside her. He didn't speak, just sat silently and looked in the mirror with her.

The silence lasted for a long, long time, and it took I don't know how long before Charlotte spoke softly.

"Are you here to comfort me?" Lynn hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Charlotte smiled and said, "If it were normal, I would be happy and would say thank you, but right now, I'm in a bit of a bad mood, so there's no way to thank you....... I'm sorry. ”

“.......”

"By the way, you rarely take the initiative to comfort people." She turned her head sideways and stared at him,

"What's the purpose of this time, is it to make me more obedient?"

"It's not." Lynn finally spoke,

"I don't have that idea if I want to."

"Uh-huh, so someone else has an idea." The girl smiled,

"It's rare to see you listen to people so much, is it because you've been under the fence for too long?" Lynn opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she heard her say as if talking to herself.

"Actually, what she did to me before the dinner began, made me feel like a general who was close to victory."

"She had the strongest army, had the most fertile land, robbed almost all of her opponents, and struck them to the last city, and then, feeling as if she was about to win, ran to the bottom of the city and shouted, 'You are weak.'" Before the dinner....... Lynn noticed the prefix word.

He was keenly aware of what might have happened between Erin and Charlotte before the dinner party. But now doesn't seem to be the time to get to the bottom of it, because the girl's words don't seem to be over yet.

"From the beginning, I felt that her behavior was a little strange, because although she spoke hard and had an extreme personality, she was not the kind of person who would run over and taunt people for no reason, until you did not show up when I needed it, and I realized that she had actually taken the flag of that city, and then sneaked into the palace, and I came to show off without knowing anything about the outside world." Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "If you came to comfort me and wanted me not to blame you, don't worry, I understand that you are forced." ”

"Even if you actually want to do it in your heart, it is not your intention after all, so I will not blame you, and I will not hold a grudge against you."

"........," Lynn suddenly understood why Erin would say something like that. Before he came, she said that she did not need to explain, and when he asked why, the other party was reluctant to say more.

Now it seems that she laid out in advance and took the initiative to let herself stop the black cauldron. No wonder, she said she was angry.

You really should be angry. Sighing slightly, Lynn looked at Charlotte, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to speak.

"No need to speak." Charlotte smiled again, "You sit down here." Lynn did as she was told. As the two chairs leaned side by side, Charlotte stretched out her hands, gently and actively wrapped them around his neck, and pressed her cheeks quietly against his shoulders.

The hug wasn't warm or soft, it was so stiff and cold, as if there was no warmth.

In fact, it is. Charlotte was so tired that her brain didn't allow her to continue thinking about anything, good or bad, what happened and what was about to happen, or something else.

Now she doesn't want to think about anything, she doesn't want to have any emotions, she just wants to find a place where she can lean on and rest well.

".......," Lynn looked down. The girl's eyes were closed, her chest rose and fell, her breathing was very even, and it was clear that she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Dreams are probably her best refuge at this moment. Lynn let out a long sigh. .......... A few days later.

The clear sky in spring is cloudless. Catalena Square is crowded with people at the moment. However, these people are not ordinary civilians.

They wore blue-black army uniforms, indicating that they were soldiers guarding Laiyin, and at the forefront of the soldiers, knights in silver armor rode tall horses.

"Let's go! With the general's shout, thousands of feet and the Laiyin banner fluttering in the wind began to move forward, and for a moment, the onlookers in the distance felt the killing intent to the bone. When they reached the high platform of the square, the sky suddenly exploded with a loud noise. When all the soldiers came to the square, half of them continued on their way, so that the square phalanx became two rectangles. After everyone stopped, a path was vacated between them.

"Boom—" The roar of the magic cannon began to ring, and brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, almost obscuring the sun.

At the sound of the cannon, a large chariot galloped along the widest avenue of Catalena, pulled by four pure white horses.

The horseshoe rumbles, stepping on everyone's appreciation.

"Is that our new majesty? It's the Queen! ”

"If she could be our king, it would be great!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Banzai! There was an excessive fanaticism in the whispers of the populace. Thanks to the king's choice, Charlotte has a high prestige and majesty in the eyes of the people, especially the people of Catalena. So when news came out in the palace not long ago that the old king was too excited at the celebration banquet after the victory, and that his will required Charlotte to succeed to the throne as a princess for the first time, it was rare that there was no opposition among the people.

"But....... Who is the one next to her? Someone suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone else around the new queen.

He was not a servant, he wore many badges, and he was of superior appearance and extraordinary temperament.

"Is it the Prince, eh, why haven't I heard of it?"

"It can't be the new prime minister, right?"

"I think it's more reliable to be a prince."

The voices of the "........" people did not interfere with the advance of the chariot, and when they came to the front of the square, accompanied by the military band, the queen walked down the chariot with the support of the mysterious man.

"Long live Her Majesty! Long live Laiyin!

"Hooray! Banzai! The uniform cheers resounded in the sky, repeating themselves over and over again, shaking the trees on both sides of the street as if they were in autumn, and the leaves were falling like autumn.

........Her Majesty the Queen, who was watching her in the spot, seemed to be very uncomfortable with this scene, and subconsciously wanted to shrink her neck, but through the slight force coming from the palm of her other hand, she took a deep breath, and quickly overcame this discomfort, waving to the people with a friendly smile, and facing the soldiers with a serious face.

"Now, you're a lot like a true queen." There was a low whisper in her ear, but Charlotte was not happy.

"If I could, I still wouldn't want me to be sitting here, even if it was you."

"I can't, because I don't have the last name Ferdinand." When these words came up, Charlotte suddenly turned her head sideways.

"You know, the other day, after I was calming down, Erin came to me again - in the middle of this conversation, I made a deal."

"Deal?" Lynn was slightly stunned,

"What a deal."

"I asked her to sell you to me in exchange, and when the time comes, your child will be my child."

"......." Lynn's eyes widened, but time did not allow her to judge this slightly outrageous deal.

Although they were talking, they did not stop and continued to move forward. Now that they had come to the first column, the queen had to stop talking and put on a smile again.

"Hooray! Banzai! The deafening cheers of the soldiers, the glorious music of which was exerted by the magic, came together to form a realm that would awe-inspiring the sun. Looking at the soldiers and the revered queen in front of them, people have forgotten that they have just experienced a war that did not start well, and instead feel that we are so strong in Yin. Look around, where is there a stronger army than us? Where else could there be a more revered king than ours? Where is there a greater history than ours? No! None of them! Charlotte, whose mood unconsciously began to develop in a good direction, couldn't help but laugh, and this smile reached its peak as her review of the army gradually deepened. With the process going on, the parade has gradually come to an end. But right now, there's one more important thing that needs to be done. Standing on the high platform that everyone could only look up to, Charlotte bowed her head slightly, asked the cardinal to put the crown on herself, and then took the scepter from the hands of those around her and held it high.

"Goddess, I will take this glory!"

"From now on, we will be invincible, and any enemy who stands in the way of the kingdom will be crushed to dust!"

"In the name of Laiyin!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Laiyin! Banzai!! This time the cheers were louder and more intense than ever.

Because at this time, people know that they are witnessing history. .......

"Bang Bang Bang-" In the room, in front of the dressing mirror, Erin was looking herself up and down, and when she heard a knock on the door, she called out lazily.

"Come in." Lynn walked in, and then prepared to go out again.

"Come back." Erin pulled a skirt from the side and said, "The parade is over?" How does it feel? Lynn didn't answer the question directly, but closed the door and turned her head and said, "You put on your clothes first." Irene seemed to have just gotten out of bed now, because she had lost her transparent silk pajamas beside her, and she was holding a new dress that might have been ready to be changed, but at least until she put it on, she only had black lace underwear on her body.

Erin glanced at him lightly and said with a smile, "What? Shy? ”

"I'd love to admit it, but ........," Lynn didn't finish her speech, as the girl's eyes had become more and more dangerous.

"Huh." Retracting her gaze, she put on her clothes on her own, and then she sat back in her chair and crossed her legs.

"How was it like to be on a parade with the Queen? I didn't go, but I think it's pretty impressive, right? ”

"Yes......." Lynn was not ready to continue the topic, but asked with a frown,

"I heard that you made a deal with me."

"Oh, do you mean with our new Majesty, I thought she told you a long time ago."

“........”

"Why do you show such an expression, is it dissatisfaction? Still reluctant? ”

"If it's disgruntled but not ready to resist, it's fine, and if it's reluctant......." Erin blinked, pulling out a document from the drawer that seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

"Come on, sign this."
