Chapter 31: Confession of Identity
“……”
Anna stopped her outstretched hand in mid-air, she always felt that this surname was somewhat familiar, as if it was from some big family, but the brain circuit did not turn around for a while.
"Berliel...... Central Military Department ...... Papal Room ......"
Anna pieced together a few key words, and the feeling of coming out of the air intensified.
Ti tilted her head curiously at Anna, who was suddenly lost in thought, unaware of the shock her surname could have for outsiders, especially members of armed groups opposed to the Papal States.
Anna also noticed that she was a little rude to others in her rash contemplation, so she hurriedly reached over to hold it with Ti, and shifted her gaze to Ti in front of her, but it was this action that made her realize now that there was a thorn flower embroidered on the clothes on Ti's left shoulder!
The color of the thorn flower is not outstanding, I don't pay much attention to it during the day, and at night the sky is gloomy, until now under close contact, Anna found this thorn flower, which is the national flower of the current Papal States, only members of the family are qualified to embroider this flower on clothes, and the core members of the family will also have badges, rings and other items to prove their identity, representing the noble status of the Beriel family.
When Anna saw this thorn flower, her mind finally turned around, after all, in this wilderness, anyone who could see a person from the Berriel family would be unbelievable.
"Are you...... That the Burriel guys? ”
Anna let go of her grip on the hand and behaved more cautiously.
Ty blinked, a little confused: "The Berliel family? Isn't there only one Berliel family in this world? Anna, do you still know about the branch of my family that I left behind? ”
Anna hurriedly waved her hand, shaking her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm just...... I can't believe it, but when I think back to the story you made up before, your true identity makes the sense of absurdity a little lighter. ”
Anna smiled awkwardly.
Ty also saw that Anna seemed to have some doubts and worries about her identity, after all, from the standpoint of the country, as the heir of the Pope, she was naturally hostile to these armed groups that were divided and occupied by the king, and it was normal for Anna to be a little worried about her identity.
Things have come to this, Ti Shan decided to go public, although she and Anna have not even been together for half a day, but she is willing to believe in Anna's character, she herself also knows something about the Knights of Twilight, and she admired the chivalry when she heard about it for the first time, not to mention that although she told Anna to discuss it with Nuo, in fact, she has accepted the decision to join the Knights of Twilight temporarily, and it is not a good decision to keep it hidden.
After sorting out her thoughts, she took the initiative to confess to the wary Anna: "My identity is the daughter of the contemporary Pope Jean Beriel, but I am only the daughter of a concubine, and I do not have a high status, the boy who traveled with me is called Nuo, and he can be regarded as the son of a concubine, we escaped all the way from Prison Island and took a cargo ship to Hesse, I am sorry for the lies I told you before." ”
Ti performed a standard confession, strict family education did not allow her to tell any lies, and even now that she had escaped from the control of the Berriel family, it was a decision made in a hurry, and she still recognized the important quality of "honesty".
Anna didn't dare to accept this confession, she was also a legal resident of the Papal States anyway, and Ty's identity was also a little princess, the two were very different in identity, and she quickly helped Ty up.
"Ti, I know that you and that boy chose to escape from Prison Island for a necessary reason, and I don't need you to tell me why, just now I was just taken aback by your identity, after all, ordinary people can boast about a princess in the wild for a lifetime."
Anna laughed heartily, and she continued, "You don't have to worry about whether I will be separated by your identity, now that you have escaped from the legendary Netherworld, it is enough to prove that you do not want to live this magnificent life in endless bondage, and I believe that the Knights of Dusk will give you a wonderful experience." ”
Ti listened carefully to Anna's explanation, and was very touched by what Anna said, she was able to hear the true meaning of the words, and was also attracted by Anna's frankness.
Ending the conversation between the two, Anna took a few sweet wild fruits picked by the team members during the day for Ty to eat, and also divided a part of the prepared dry food, after all, Ty had not eaten for a day, and her heart was full of tension and sorrow before, but now she put her mind at ease, and the feeling of fasting came for a while.
After simply settling the food, Anna's insistence led to Tinno's sleeping tent to rest, while the task of keeping vigil was left to the members of the Order.
According to Anna, there are still some wild beasts in this dense forest, and some insects and snakes that threaten people's lives are also very active at night, which can only be solved by the knight team with rich experience in the wilderness.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, when the sun crept up to the treetops, Ti woke up from his sleep.
She was still a little unaccustomed to sleeping in this environment, her ears were close to the haystack, her brain was always receiving all kinds of distant messages transmitted from the ground, her back was also lying a little stiff, and her hair was scattered behind her.
Ti got up and stretched his body, his graceful curves in the air, twisted his neck again, patted his little face, and relaxed himself.
Just as Ti was about to see if Nuo had been asleep for a day and woke up, she found that Nuo beside her had already opened her eyes and was staring at her without blinking.
Ti didn't react for a while, blinked in confusion, and only then did he notice that Nuo had been awake for a long time.
Ti didn't care about anything, and happily cared: "You're awake, Xiaonuo!" How does your body feel? ”
The corners of Nuowen's mouth bloomed with a soft smile, and he opened his mouth slightly, perhaps because he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm fine, I've slept for so long, I should have recovered a long time ago, and I'm tired of your care." ”
Ti heard No's hoarse voice, realized that Nou hadn't drunk water for a long time, and after leaving a "It's okay", he quickly got out of the tent and ran to get water.
After a while, Ti lifted the tent and came in with a steaming tin can, and the smoke filled the small tent with a slight increase in temperature.
"Here, drink some water, be careful of scalding."
Ti carefully handed the tin can to No, who took it lightly and took it in small sips.
While Noh was drinking hot water, Ti took the opportunity to recount the conversation she had with Anna yesterday, especially saying that Anna wanted to invite her and Noh to join the Knights of Dusk, and shared her thoughts with No.
"I think since Anna is willing to invite us to join the Knights of Dusk, then we might as well join them, now that we have escaped from Prison Island, we have no fixed place, and we still have such a conspicuous Origin Armor, and your body is not in the best time, it is also a good choice to have a force to rely on."
Nuo listened to Ti's thoughts, thought about it and muttered: "I have also seen in many documents and secret reports submitted by the Holy See, as the third largest armed organization, Hesse is a big force in the group of dragons, and the leader of this knight order, Herman, is also a person, among the armed organizations, the reputation of the Knights of Dusk is still the best among the people, and that 'chivalry' has also made me feel respectful. ”
No's words can be regarded as an indirect indication of his attitude towards the approval of the Knights of Dusk.
Ti is very happy about this, she and Anna get along very well, although she is No's sister, and she is two years older than No, but she is just a relatively innocent girl who lives in the courtyard and the Pope's hall all the year round, plus she has no mother's love since she was a child, her heart is full of longing for maternal love, and she enjoys Anna's meticulous care like a mother, but she usually hopes to have the courage to take care of her younger brother No.
However, Ti remembered Anna's speculation again, and she frowned and asked No, "Anna guesses that our escape from Prison Island is also under the control of some people, No, do you think this will be true?" ”
Nuo took a deep breath, and his hanging fists couldn't help but clench: "Even if we are unwilling, we have to believe that our plan and process of escaping from Prison Island are a bit too coincidental and random, everything is arranged just right, everyone seems to be surviving for our plan, and both of us are almost reaching the limit before finally escaping, as if every step has been calculated!" ”
Nou shook his fist in hatred.
"The original armor that has been traded, the festival parade that has been carried out inexplicably, the old dock that has begun to be renovated, and the ...... of the cargo ship that is about to leave"
"It's like a well-designed script, waiting for us to complete it step by step!"
Nou was a little furious, and it seemed that in his eyes, even if he and Ti escaped from Prison Island, their fate was still in the hands of those in power.
Ti looked at Nuo, who was extremely angry but stubbornly resisted, and held his hands in distress, those hands were not very clean, and his pale skin was covered with calluses and folds, like a pair of hard-working adult hands.
But soon, Nuo calmed down, he and Ti looked at each other, their dark blue pupils were unusually clear, and said seriously: "Even so, we have already achieved the first step to escape from the control of fate, and we can still crush fate!" ”
Ti Bao gave a resolute look: "We can definitely do it!" ”
Nod nodded, and got out of the tent: "Let's go, talk to Captain Anna about our joining the group." ”
