Chapter 6: I'm here to say goodbye
While Edward was racking his brain about how to deal with the current crisis, Christina came to him silently.
"Why, how did 'Cruel Edward' become so indecisive?" Christina smirked sarcastically, "I remember that at the beginning of the year, you did not hesitate to give the order to burn and loot the entire Pali Plain. ”
"That's different. Edward waved his hand, "At that time, this was the front line, and the inhabitants of the Pali Plains were all enemies who could provide war resources for the Valoa family, but now, this plain is under my rule. Now, I need them ......"
"Naive. Christina raised her head in front of Edward, "You will never be able to win against the Varroa family like this." According to me, we should cut through the mess quickly, first kill a few jumping people to make an example, and then suppress the remaining opposition with an iron fist. You should have crushed the Valloas to the south before they had enough capital. ”
"Maybe it will work in the land of the heathen. However, this is not in keeping with the tradition of Capetian or Galedonia. Edward shook his head, "I'm afraid I don't want to take this risk because the remnants of the Varloa family are still in peace. I don't want to lose this position of crown prince. ”
"Cut, I really don't understand, how did you become so cowardly. Christina took a sip.
Edward smiled and shrugged, "yes, then why are you still so afraid of me like this?"
"I'm afraid of you, what are you kidding!" Christina smiled with a disdainful smile on her face, albeit stiff.
"Christine, you don't have to pretend like that. Edward laughed, "I know, you now sleep with a dagger under your pillow every night, and you don't know who you're guarding against." You've done a lot of momentum, but that doesn't change your weakness. ”
Christina was stunned. After a moment, her face turned red: "Are you spying on me......? Well, I'll admit, you're right. Her momentum waned.
Edward held his chin with one hand and looked at Christina with a smile: "But seriously, from my point of view, you are really beautiful. Would you like to go out hunting with me out of town this weekend?"
"Thank you...... Thanks for the compliment. Christina's face turned even redder, but after a moment she took a deep breath and regained her usual aggressive appearance, "But, I'm afraid I'll have to turn down your kindness." ”
"Why?" asked Edward in a whisper.
"Because...... I'm here to say goodbye to you, a guy who has suffered a thousand cuts. Christina threw her head up again, "I'm going to the south alone." ”
"Why?" said Edward again, but in a very different tone than the last. In the previous sentence, he had a joke that anyone could detect. But this sentence, perhaps even he didn't notice it, and there was already a hint of tremor and ...... in his tone Lose sleep over something.
"No why, I need to fail the House of Valloa, I need to make it impossible for us to touch Cape's crown again, that's all. Christina teased her bangs, "So I need something special." ”
"That kind of means is not necessary, Christine! No one on this continent can stop my army! You just need to be by my side, stay and wait to see my victory. Edward exclaimed, "Perhaps, I can follow your advice and make a quick move to cut through the mess in Pali City." ”
"No, it has nothing to do with this incident. Christina shook her head firmly, "Hit a thousand ...... Edward, you won't understand. If I don't go south to do something, you ...... Forget it, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it. Christina smiled bitterly.
"I need you to give me a reason. Edward said in a deep voice.
"Why? You know, I do things, I don't need that kind of thing. Christina got up from her chair and turned her back, "I want to go south, that's all, that's enough." ”
"You'll regret it!" Edward clenched his teeth.
"Of course, I'll regret it, but I'll do it anyway. Either way, it's my fate. Christina pulled her legs and walked outside, but at the door, she was stopped by another woman.
It was Edward's sister, Princess Evina of Caledonia.
"Are you crazy, witch?" Evina, who was taller than Christina, looked condescendingly at Christina's face with pity in her eyes.
"You don't have to worry about it, you can just get out of the way for me. Christina said coldly.
"You ......" Ivina was about to say something, but was interrupted by his brother, Edward.
"Evena, let him go!" Edward's expression was complicated, but he still ordered his sister.
"Hmph. Evina cursed under her breath and got out of the way.
"Thank you for your understanding. Although she didn't look back, Christina replied anyway.
"Then please come back alive and accept my punishment. Edward looked directly at Christina's back, "Christine, I think you should understand the will of a king, and there is no room for disobedience. ”
"But I am not your subordinate. But......" Christina was silent for a moment and asked, "I don't know yet, how do you want to punish me?"
"I don't know, but I have a lifetime to think about it. Edward replied without hesitation.
Christina laughed out loud at this moment: "I can grant your request. ”
At the same time, she also said to herself in her heart: "However, after I come back, I may not be at your mercy, I will suffer a thousand cuts, even if I enter the monastery, it will be my freedom!"
In just a few breaths, she drifted away from the building, leaving only a beautiful shadow for the Edward siblings.
"This witch doesn't know how to lift!" Ivina snorted, "I wasted a piece of my kindness!"
"Alright, Evina!" Edward shook his head, "Let her go, I don't know what made her obsessed with ruining her own family, but ......"
"You don't have to go on, brother. The sparks between the two of you, can't I see it?" Ivina yawned, then sat down in the place where Christina had just done.
“...... Are you feeling better?" asked Edward, changing the subject at the right time.
"Leave me alone, take a good look at your text. Ivina waved her hand casually.
