It's like a dream, everything is so unreal.
The person was in the air, hugging Xiuyi's neck, and Avril looked at Xiuyi stupidly: "Xiuyi, Xiuyi, is it really you?"
"Yes, I'm here, Avril, and as I promised, I've come to see you. Hue whispered in Avril's ear.
The angel's wings flapped powerfully in the air, bringing out a strong wind that blew Avril's head messy.
But at this moment, she only had Xiu Yi in her eyes, and her whole person was fluttering, as if she was in heaven, and her mind was a little confused for a while.
The blazing bird flew from the sky, enveloping the two of them on the left and the right, and chirped happily, as if they were proud, because the blessings of the lovebirds never failed.
Once fantasized that his Prince Charming could come to marry him, but at this moment, the dream came true, Avril looked at the ground under her feet, and everything became so small.
Suddenly, I felt scared.
"Huey...... I'm scared. ”
"With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Huey whispered.
That being said, Huey lowered the height anyway. By this time he had flown out of the palace and landed on the roof of a bell tower.
Avril still grabbed Huey's neck and refused to let go.
She was terrified that it was a dream, and once she let go, the dream would wake up.
Xiui helplessly patted Avril who was hanging on top of her like a koala: "Come down, Avril, I have something to say to you." ”
"No!" the little girl bit her lip and shook her head desperately, staring at Xiui.
"Since I have come to you, I will not leave easily. ”
Sometimes a commitment can go a long way.
Avril finally came down.
She looked at Xiu Yi stupidly, for a long time, and suddenly threw herself into Xiu Yi's arms and cried.
Avril cried loudly, crying hysterically, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered these days. She cried profusely, crying with a large amount of water on Xiuyi's chest, crying indulgent and unreasonable, crying like a coquettish child......
For many days, day and night, I kept thinking about Xiuyi, and I thought about the little girl to the point of going crazy. She had already recognized her own thoughts, she loved Xiuyi, and she couldn't live without him.
"You bastard!" Avril thrashed Huey desperately, "Why?
"You know the answer, right?" said Huey, with a light sigh.
"I want to hear from you. The girl stood her mind.
Looking at Avril's infatuated eyes, Huey finally relented.
Avril cried a little tired, and just lay in Huey's arms. The two of them sat together on the bell tower and looked into the distance.
Hue began to tell the stories of the past, all the vile tricks, intrigues, and intrigues hidden behind the scenes.
If Avril had heard these things before, she might have been indifferent, or she might have shouted loudly that servants should sacrifice their lives for the sake of the nobility.
But now, Avril doesn't think that way anymore.
Those thousands of fables have taught Avril a lot of truths, making her gentle, sensible, and able to understand others.
When Hue spoke of what had happened in the valley, Avril Lavril was bleak and shivered in Huey's arms.
When he talked about using Avril to frame Pie, Avril didn't say a word, but her little hand touched Huey's ribs and pinched and twisted fiercely, and Hue didn't resist, just let her do it.
When he was about to escape from Purgatory Island, Avril looked like this.
All the truth is finally revealed, but Avril is not surprised.
As Xiu Yi said, she had already guessed it, and now she just wanted to hear Xiu Yi confirm it herself.
She sobbed softly and collapsed into Thuy's arms, "I'm sad, Thuy...... Why is this ....... ”
Gently hugging Avril's shoulder, Xiu Yi whispered, "No one can change what has been born." I'm sorry I once deceived you and took advantage of you. I wished I could forget you, and I wish you could forget me......"
"Then why are you still coming to me?"
"Because I'm leaving, I'm going to leave Winrington in a few days. Before leaving, I would like to meet you and have a few words with you, and please bring a few words to your father as well. He said.
Avril looked at Hue in surprise.
"Yes Avril, I'm going to be away for a while...... I need to get stronger. ”
"No, Huey, I won't let you go!" Avril grabbed Huey and refused to let go: "Huey, don't continue to take revenge on my father, okay? I can go and tell my father that he won't arrest you anymore." You can be free!"
Xiui smiled wryly: "Unfortunately, this is not what I need. ”
"What is that? Is it really that there can be no peace? Why can't we sit down and talk about it?"
There is no fairness in negotiations conducted in the context of unequal power. Avril, you should know that. If I want a fair negotiation, I have to show the power of reciprocity. Your father wants to take all the resources and alchemy from me for free, and I intend to make the state admit the sins of the past without paying any price. The gap between our demands on each other is too great for reconciliation to be possible. I believe that what I am asking for is just and fair. But your father doesn't think so. So, it's hard, it's very hard. ”
Avril wanted to cry in despair. She felt like the world was spinning.
She whimpered, "Why is this happening. I hate everything right now. I miss my days on Infernal Island, Xiui, but I know you won't. It was painful for you, even if it was with me, right?"
She looked up at Xiui, "So you won't give up any of your requests for me." ”
Huey sighed.
Looking at Avril, Huey said seriously, "You're good, Avril. You used to be rude, willful, and unreasonable, but now, I see a girl who has really grown up. You've become mature and sensible, and I like you a lot. It's a pity that Xiu Yi is no longer the Xiu Yi of the past, and it is impossible to accompany you every day, and it is impossible to please you all the time. The one you like is completely gone, and it doesn't exist in this world. So...... If you were with me, you wouldn't be happy, you would just be disappointed. ”
Avril looked at Hue in a daze.
Is that so?
Yes, it turns out that Huey is no longer the Huey of the past.
Since he left Purgatory Island, he no longer has to survive with humility, he has become strong, assertive, and no longer needs orders from others.
She's a princess, can she adapt to such a change?
Does she like Huey, who always brings her laughter on Purgatory Island, who maintains her self-esteem in the midst of humility and brings her all kinds of interesting shows and stories, or is this Huey, who is now a little stranger and has his own plans, and just wants the empire to bow down to him?
Even she couldn't tell.
Suddenly she didn't want to mention the sad things anymore, so Avril just lay quietly in Huey's arms, looking at the starry sky in the distance, gossiping casually with each other.
"Huey. She shouted softly.
"Huh?"
"The starry sky is beautiful. ”
"Yes. ”
"You said there are Cowherd and Vega in the sky, and which are they?"
"They...... Far away, far away. ”
"Then it should be those two. Avril pointed to the two brightest stars in the distance.
"Perhaps, but they're a long way off. ”
"No matter how far you go, you can always see it once a year, don't you?"
“...... Yes. ”
"What makes them endure not seeing each other for so long?"
"It's expectation, it's love. ”
"I know what love is. Avril whispered, snuggling into Huey's arms.
She closed her eyes and muttered, "Love is beautiful, but not being able to see each other is painful." What's more painful than that...... Even if we meet, we can't be together. ”
Huey lowered his head and didn't speak again.
Today, he is no longer the Siegler of Hell.
He no longer has to shout "Her Royal Highness Princess" in a low voice, he no longer has to go to great lengths to find excuses for everything he does, and he no longer has to worry about any consequences.
In the same way, Avril has grown up and is sensible. She is no longer as rude, human as she used to be, on the contrary, she has become more beautiful, more gentle, and even knows how to love.
The relationship between the two people has become hazy because of this, and the way they used to get along is no longer applicable, so that no one knows how to do it.
"Lies are always good, aren't they?" Avril whispered. Her hand tugged at the corner of Huey's coat.
“...... Yes. ”
"So...... Tell me another story, Huey. I want to hear you tell me stories. ”
"Let me think about it. ”
"Just tell the story of the mermaid. ”
Xiu Yi said: "Haven't you heard of that?"
"I still want to hear it, I want to hear it from you again. Avril looked at Huey and said with certainty.
Xiu Yi thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll tell." Once upon a time......"
The story isn't too long, but it's very moving.
The mermaid princess falls in love with a prince. In order to be with him, she asked the wizard to magically turn her fish body into human legs. But the price of this magic was that she could never speak, and every step she took was as painful as a knife. For the sake of the prince in her mind, the mermaid princess endured all this. But in the end, it turned out that her beloved prince was with another girl. With a broken heart, the mermaid princess returned to the sea.
Hue spoke very seriously, and Avril listened attentively.
In the past few days, Avril has shed tears more than once for the mermaid princess. She always called the prince an idiot and a fool, and even shouted that she would ask her father's soldiers to attack the prince's country and hang the prince.
But now, she finally understood.
This is love, giving may not be rewarded, all the pain and joy only come from their own feelings.
It's like Hue, making her laugh and making her cry.
After the story was told, the two of them were relatively speechless.
Huey hugged Avril like that, feeling the breath between her.
She closed her eyes slightly and whispered, "Xiuy, kiss me." ”
Huey's heart skipped a beat.
Gently, imprint your lips on Avril's delicate lips.
It's cold.
"If love is something that can be done willingly for the other person, then you have never loved me, have you?" Avril spat out cold words as she stood up from Huey's arms, "I'm glad you came to see me today, Huey." But time is running out, so send me back. If you want me to tell me, I'll tell my father. As for the future...... I wish I could forget about you. ”
Looking at Xiuyi, Avril's eyes were extremely determined: "Finally, I will give you a gift, Raschel has a fever addiction." If you want to deal with him, you can think of ways to deal with him in this regard. But even if you win one Raschel, there will still be more Raschel to hunt you down. As you said, I don't think my father has any reason to bow down to you. ”
————————————————
Avril went back.
Xiui sent her to the gate of the palace, then hid in the shadows and watched her leave.
Today is an unforgettable day for Huey.
In the battle of Clear Water Street, Xiuyi's hole cards were exhausted, but in the end, he was attacked by Hampton, and he was hit until he flew high in the air and couldn't come down.
He knew in his heart that although this world had not yet reached the point where one person's strength could sweep the world, the real strong man could still play a key role in turning things around on many occasions.
Although he himself has benefited from the thinking of the past and has a great grasp of human nature, he is also limited to the thinking of the past.
In the past, organizing power was the only way to be powerful, but in the world of magic, the strength of a few strong people was sometimes equivalent to the strength of an army.
Although he understands this truth, many of the truths are not enough to be understood. His habit of thinking is still stuck on the earth, and he still lacks understanding and action to seriously display his own strength. Therefore, in the year that he has been away from Purgatory Island, his own strength growth has always been limited.
Today's events have made Xiu Yi completely realize that in this magical world, he still needs more powerful strength to support himself.
It was for this reason that he finally decided to meet Avril.
He knew he had broken Avril's heart, but he had no choice.
The blazing birds in the sky circled and flew down.
Asahi jumped off Hong's body, and he threw himself into Xiuyi's arms, noticing a tear in Xiuyi's eyes: "Are you sad? ”
"It's just in the sand. ”
"Is it the little princess who makes you sad?"
"No, in fact I'm hurting her. ”
"I don't understand why you're doing that. ”
"Because it's better for her. Xiu Yi replied lightly: "It can make her die, and she doesn't have to waste herself in fantasy and waiting." ”
Asahi shook his little head curiously: "I don't understand, why love is so strange. Red, green, is this love?"
Red and Green screamed twice.
Then Asahi said to Xiui, "They say that their love is not that complicated. ”
Xiui smiled bitterly: "Yes, so red and green are happy." The trouble of human beings is that they always like to ask for their own hardships. ”
"Why is that?"
"Maybe it's because ......** makes us lost, wisdom makes us greedy, and emotions make us cowardly...... Xiu Yi replied in a low voice: "Asahi has human creativity and intelligence, then one day, you will understand." Remember what your father gave you: learn to cherish and love the people you love. ”
"So are you cherishing and loving her by doing this?"
Xiu Yi hesitated: "Maybe it is, maybe not." Because if I can't get Avril to die for me, then I won't be able to force the Reims Empire to do what I want. If I can't continue to use all kinds of means to achieve my ends, then everything I do will be meaningless. What have I done in the year since I left Purgatory Island...... will become worthless. ”
But as you said, the greatest flaw of human beings is that they don't know what to give up and what not to give up. It is clear that you are making decisions that are about preserving the right things in the past and giving up the happiness of the future. Are you really right to do that?"
Xiu Yi was stunned.
After thinking about it, he said: "There is too much gap between me and her, even if we are really together, we may not be happy, after all, I am no longer the Xiu Yiglare of the past, and the Xiu Yiglare she likes is the one who is obedient to her and always coaxes her to follow her." ”
The blazing birds shouted in unison.
Xu immediately said: "Red said: Love is for both parties to face the test together. Since Avril loves you, you should let her face the problem together. Midori said: The woman you love must protect yourself. Even if you're no longer the Tyui you used to be, it doesn't mean you won't love her anymore. It's just that the love in the past has a different purpose, and the love in the future is from the heart. ”
They also say that you don't need a reason to love someone, and you don't need a reason to give up someone. So, all your reasons are invalid. You're just deceiving yourself, because you're afraid that your love for her will make you unable to deal with your enemies. ”
They concluded by saying that their blessings never worked. You and the little princess are destined not to be separated, believe in the power of magic and blessings, silly father. ”
Xiu Yi looked at Asahi and the Blazing Bird in a daze, and couldn't say anything for a while.
Is that so?
Love is the dedication of both parties, and it also needs to be tested.
There is no reason to refuse to love, because love is inherently tested and it also requires faith.
Huey was stunned.
The communication crystal in his arms suddenly sounded, and Xiu Yi opened the crystal to see that it was Chakle.
"There's something very important to talk to you about, Huey. Chakra looked solemn.
"If you want an antidote, don't worry, with your ability, you can suppress it for a while. I must first go to the Palace, and Buckler has sent a message for us all to return to the Royal Gardens, which is a joint order issued by the Royal and the Judicial Administration, which must be obeyed. ”
"Not for the cure, Huey. Before you go to the palace, you'd better come to me, I'm going to introduce you to a friend who might help you in your current situation, and who can give you what you need. ”
"Who is it?"
Chakra whispered a name, and Xiui was immediately stunned.
After thinking about it, he said, "I'll come here." ”
