Chapter 220: An Unexpected Guest
Akali didn't care about managing the captives at this time, and after she handed everything over to Caterina, the first thing she did was to enter the cathedral in Orleans and visit Reinhardt and Sherlock, who were still lying in bed.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
When Akali walked into the room where the two were resting, they were both recuperating and seemed to be talking about something, but when the door opened, the conversation between the two stopped, Sherlock stared at Akali with a slightly red face, and Reinhardt was also panicked and was about to get up to greet Akali.
"Uh, it looks like I'm not here at the right time, you go ahead ......"
Akali suddenly felt that the atmosphere at the scene was extremely awkward, and said that she was about to leave.
"Princess Akali, please stay. Sherlock glared at Reinhardt and continued, "Thank you for destroying the 120,000 troops besieging Orleans, saving this land, and with all the soldiers of our Maasai rebel army, we Marseille rebel army are all willing to follow in your footsteps and become a member of the sacred Lucas Kingdom!"
"You're welcome, Sherlock, what would I have been able to do if it weren't for your desperate resistance to Trist's tyranny?" "The warriors of the Marseille rebels are all battle-hardened elites, and with you to join us, I believe that Trist will soon be completely destroyed!"
"Your Highness Princess, I have not disappointed you, I have finally completed the task you have given me......" Reinhardt whispered.
"I know that you have worked hard for all your efforts to win today, and here, please accept my respect. ”
As she spoke, Akali suddenly took off her helmet and bowed deeply to Reinhardt, who was lying on the hospital bed, to the surprise of the two **.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is not possible...... Get up!" Reinhardt was startled and struggled to get up, but was stopped by Akali.
"This is not my personal gratitude to you, but to all the people of Europe, including me, for sacrificing your life to save Orleans from falling, and we will all remember your heroic deeds and sing them down from generation to generation. ”
"I ......" Reinhardt, who has always been bad at words, looked at Akali in a daze, completely unsure of what to say.
"You deserve such glory, so don't be polite. Sherlock reminded quietly.
“...... Thank you, Her Royal Highness the Princess, for your compliment. Reinhardt was still embarrassed to see Sherlock say this, but he accepted the compliment.
"Well, looks like your personal problems have been solved......"
"Uh, this ......"
Reinhardt and Sherlock blushed at the same time and fell silent.
"Well, that's ......," Akali couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. "Then, Sherlock, I think you choose to take off your nun's dress and return to your normal identity, I said a long time ago, you don't really want to be a clergyman, don't do it, you still don't listen......"
"Isn't that okay?" Sherlock hesitated. "The impact of my actions on the whole church is so bad......"
"Sherlock, don't do that, we're finally back to the way we were......" Reinhardt snapped.
"But—"
"Nothing, Sherlock. Akali smiled slightly, and taught like an elder: "Love, is originally an inherent emotion of human beings, God gave human beings the ability to love when they created human beings, since Adam and Eve, love has been passed down from generation to generation with human civilization, so you don't deny the true thoughts in your heart, for a negative example, Reinhardt was forced by the world at that time to deny his love, what was the result?" Sherlock, I hope you can have the courage to love resolutely, just like me, although the person I love has reaped his own happiness, but I know that even so I still love him, so, I have never given up, and I hope you can do the same. ”
"Is that so......" Sherlock muttered.
"And, look who's coming. ”
With that, Akaalilo stepped out of the way, and at the gate, the old figure of Archbishop Severus appeared in front of the two men.
"Lord Severus, why are you ......" Sherlock was taken aback, she didn't expect her mentor to be here in person, and was about to get up to greet her, but she couldn't raise the strength at all.
"Child, Princess Akali is right, God has never intended to destroy human emotions, and the strength of faith does not depend on whether you are wearing this black nun dress, so I, as the Archbishop of Notre Dame, is now exempting you from the status of a priestess, child, now you are a free person, you can be free to be with your lover, but everyone at Notre Dame Cathedral, including me, will not forget you, and you are welcome to come back from time to time. ”
“...... Thank you, Lord Severus, and I will cherish this hard-won fate. ”
Sherlock and Reinhardt looked at each other and smiled, their hands clasped tightly together.
Soon, under Eve's careful treatment, Reinhardt and Sherlock were able to heal from their injuries, and the two were married at Notre Dame Cathedral under the auiring of Severus.
"Now, the bride and groom, please enter ......"
The large Notre Dame Cathedral auditorium was packed with people, not only the Knights of the Dawn came to attend the wedding, but also the priests and nuns of Notre Dame Cathedral, as well as representatives from the Royal Academy of Magic, while Akali, Yunhai, and Fluttershy sat far away at the back of the coffin, and even Severus couldn't hear Severus's speech.
"I think the last wedding between Elena and Wallace was more interesting, but now I can't see anything......" Fluttershy is bored and begins to think about it.
"Let's not go up and mix this time, just leave it to them to have a good time. "Akali is very leisurely and enjoying the rare tranquility. "Yesterday I got the news that Madrid has been breached, Chris is leading his troops to pacify that land, and we should prepare for the last battle. ”
But at this moment, an unexpected guest appeared at Notre Dame Cathedral, an assassin-like woman, wearing a black leather coat that did not fit in with the wedding scene.
"Sister Kelly, why are you here?" Akali jumped up instantly.
"I have returned to deliver orders from His Majesty Lucas, Your Highness the Princess. Kelly bowed deeply and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go out and talk about it." ”
"Then you wait for me, and I'll come when I go. Akali apologizes to Clouds and Fluttershy, and sneaks out the back door of the auditorium.
Kelly Hamuel, the younger sister of the Marquis of Hamuel, is a famous assassin and scout in the kingdom of Lucas, in the kingdom, she is the fastest in action, flying better than the running of horses, she has always been used as a herald of Lucas I, and this time Lucas I actually sent her back to Europe, there must be important news to be announced.
"Sister Kelly, what urgent matter actually requires you to run back to Europe in person?" Akali had already guessed what was going on. "Could it be that you have found signs of an Asura invasion?"
"That's right. Kelly gave Akali a brief answer. "Half a month ago, the people of the Tenshod Sect first discovered that there was a strange man with four arms at the end of the Arctic Ocean, and they immediately notified all the forces of Shenzhou, and the gang of Dongyingmen also stopped fighting against the Orthodox Sect and the Garan Temple, His Majesty Lucas ordered to defend the Yumen Pass as soon as possible, preparing to resist the first wave of Asura impact here, and let me come back, so that Her Royal Highness the princess can return to help as quickly as possible, without bringing troops, just come back with a few backbones. ”
"That's going to be tough...... Akali tilted her head. "Sister Kelly, you've heard about it, Trist usurped the throne, I spent so much effort to finally eliminate most of his strength, if I can't make a final decision, it's hard to guarantee that he will make a comeback......"
"I've heard about it, but His Majesty Lucas doesn't know what this time is, so I'll let you go back immediately. ”
"Well, how about I launch an offensive against Trist as soon as possible, destroy their strength as quickly as possible, and then immediately march east to support my father?" said Akali after thinking for a moment. "Apologize to my father, I'm afraid this is the first time I've broken his orders, but I'm sure he'll understand. ”
"Well, I'm sure Your Majesty will understand your painstaking efforts. Kelly immediately agreed. "In that case, I'm going back to Shenzhou, and Your Majesty still needs me. ”
"Why don't you stay and have a meal, you also saw that there is a wedding today, and a lot of things have happened during this time, why don't you listen and leave?"
"Let's talk about it later, after all, the war is urgent. Kelly smiled and declined. "Now my sister is still leading the team to stop the speed of the Asura in the Endless Wasteland, although with the cooperation of the Ten Thousand Snake Hall and the Dongying Gate, but the strength of the Asura is indeed too strong, ordinary soldiers are powerless to fight, the effect is not significant, Prince Lane's son Fenrir has also been killed in battle, so I also hope that you must end the war in Europe as soon as possible. ”
Akali couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, that Fenrir was actually dead?
"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you. Although her heart was already happy, Akali's expression still maintained a trace of sadness.
"Well, Your Highness Princess, take care, I look forward to seeing you again. With that, Kelly summoned wings of light and soared into the air, flying to the east.
"It's time to come, is it coming after all?" Akali muttered as she looked at Kelly as she disappeared into the sky.
Back in the hall, Akali finds that the main part of the wedding is over, with Clouds and Fluttershy not knowing what to say, while White and Caterina, as bridesmaids and groomsmen, are having fun with the people at Notre Dame.
