My sister, the sister who groomed me in the past, the sister who gave birth to an unusually beautiful sister.

When she finished grooming me, she put down the hairpin, stared at me, and asked.

"How?"

"The most beautiful masterpiece in the world"

When she smiled, her fair skin shone in the morning light.

When I was a child, I was frail and sickly, and people around me always said that my life would not last long. When these gossip reached my mother, she began to teach me how to practice using a spear.

Soon I was no longer the sick little girl I used to be, but on the contrary, I was too energetic to wander around all day, and whenever I got into trouble, my mother always stared at me, but blamed herself for raising me to be a little mischievous.

My sister would always come dressed up to see me practice spears, and my mentor was already a cavalry captain, and although he was my mentor, he was a young man only a year or two older than my sister.

I love that smile, when the captain looks at my sister, when my sister looks at him, I love that smile and what people say about them, it's a match made in heaven.

I was looking forward to a bright future for them, I thought it would.

On the day of her sister's wedding, her tears flowed down and were incalculable.

"Sister, run away?"

My sister shook her head and told me.

"There is no escaping something"

My sister eventually got married.

In contrast to the country that we barely maintained, the bridegroom comes from a powerful empire with an army several times our size and ten times our territory.

Maybe that's why my sister has to marry someone who is several times my age.

When everything was ready and my sister was about to leave, she lifted her silk hijab, looked at me, and smiled.

Sister, why are you smiling, why are you ......

A few years later, my sister returned, suffering from lung disease and suffering from pain and emaciation.

A few days later, she died.

The man who had been by my sister's side until her departure, my marksmanship instructor, never showed up at the funeral.

Those who had seen him said that he was on the top of a hill next to the palace, staring to the east.

That night, he also disappeared.

The news came before the envoys.

Some say that everything will be okay if we pray for forgiveness.

Some say that war is about to break out, some say that the trouble is due to the personal behavior of a cavalryman who must be executed, and some say that we will pay the price.

When the rumors spread, the mother remained silent until an envoy from the east arrived.

The envoy shouted at his mother in a voice as unbearable as his ugly face. There were a lot of things that were mentioned, and I wasn't there, so I couldn't tell what they were.

But through the voices coming from the other side of the wall, I could vaguely hear that, although it may have been the personal act of the cavalry captain, our country must be responsible for this treachery of attempting to assassinate the Emperor.

He also mentioned that it used to be an insult to the empire to give a bride who did not live long, but that the magnanimous emperor was willing to forgive everything, as long as he offered one more bride.

The envoys supplemented, obeyed or subjugated.

That night, for the first time, Mother said how hateful it was to leave her father alone to go to Heaven.

I still remember that day, the sky was cloudy and overcast, and it seemed like a torrential rain was about to pour down.

My mother was the first to burst into my room, sword in hand.

She swung her sword, and when my hair fell to the ground, she said, "From now on, my daughter, my princess, is dead, and you will flee with the others." ”

She turned away without a word of farewell

But I still remember her words as she left the room.

"I'm glad I taught you [Falling Flowers]."

After that, the mother evacuated the last people who were left behind. As the short-haired me left with them, I seemed to hear the charging of soldiers from the east.

I embarked on a journey and my hair grew back.

I want to be strong, I want to gather my people.

I need an army to reclaim my homeland.

My name is Lin, the princess of the ancient kingdom of Lost Loulan.

Crackle Crackle......

Sparks ignited on the newly added dry wood in the campfire. The man asked me as he threw the dried branches he had collected into the campfire.

"So, how did a little creature like you come to this place?"

"Then uncle, why are you here?"

"Uncle. Uncle! Please, I'm only 20 years old, call me brother!"

"Hmph, I'm not a little guy either?"

"The little guy has a good tone?"

"I'm not a little guy!"

"Oops, oops, got it, got it. Then call you a little girl. "

"In this kind of place where demons are mixed, how did a little girl like you come here? This is not for a little creature like you...... And she's a delicate little girl like you. "

"Hmph, don't you know that before asking someone, it's the basic etiquette to introduce yourself first?"

"Don't you see you're funny little guy?"

"Again, I'm not a little guy!"

"Haha, okay, okay. Well...... Well, I'm traveling to join the Kingdom Knights. "

“…… Knights of the Kingdom? ”

"Yes."

“…… Wouldn't it be better to go to Rochester? ”

"I've been there a long time ago. However, it is not easy for a half-person like me to get in. "

“…… So? ”

"So, I found out that there is a place called the Kabran Mercenary Regiment on Kuhan's side, and if you can accumulate qualifications in this mercenary group, you can finally be recommended to Rochester...... That's it, I want to try my luck over there."

“…… Kuhan? ”

"Well, you see I've said so much...... It's time to hear your own story, right? ”

“…… I'm looking for strong people."

"Mighty man, why?"

"Because I'm going to get something back."

"Really? What do you think of me? Actually, I'm pretty good too. "

Listening to the man's words, the girl chuckled, then stood up and spoke.

“…… Alright, it's time for me to go. ”

"Ahh Yes? Well, then be careful yourself. "

"Thank you, brother."

"Hahaha, thank you too."

"That's right"

Picking up the baggage, the girl who wanted to leave suddenly paused and continued.

"My name is Lynn, brother, what's your name?"

"Lynn? So your name is Lynn? You can call me Lista. "

"Well, Brother Lista. We'll see you later, and if my brother is as good as you say he is, I'll definitely come back to you. "

"Haha, okay. I waited for that day. "

Lista smiled and waved at Lynn.

Fluttering ......

As the sun rose, the sound of early birds trying to stir their wings could be heard in the woods.
