I am a bargaining chip, and if I say that it sounds good, it is a hostage, and if it is ugly, it is a sacrifice.

'You will be safe,' is the empty evidence that King Lilbourne himself did not say to me.

Sophia didn't know what the demon would do to her, but she could think that it would never be a good treatment, there was no guarantee of life, no freedom, and maybe not even thoughts.

What should Sophia do about this tragic reality?

Lamenting the coldness of human affection, unwilling to accept the cruelty of reality, lamenting the injustice of fate?

No, it's not. Sophia does not feel miserable, she was born as a princess, using the privileges that come with her title and enjoying the respect that comes with her status. Wouldn't it make sense to end up losing her life in order to fulfill her responsibilities as a princess?

This is a truth that Sophia has understood since she was a child, and she has never doubted that she can do it, but now it .......

Sophia looked down at the ruins beneath her feet, and her gaze involuntarily tinted with gentle colors.

Although the main house has been destroyed beyond recognition, the original interior decoration can still be vaguely recognized, looking at these things that no longer exist, and the days of living with Lucia seem to have passed by Sophia as if they had come to life.

"Hehe~. ”

This period of time really made Sophia encounter too many things that she had never encountered before, strange, frightened, happy, sad, and all these kinds of things finally solidified into happy memories, and this memory will never fade in the most important position in Sophia's heart.

Will that child be sad about his loss, maybe it will or may not, Sophia can't guess.

The heart is as empty and sour as if an important piece is missing, like a green fruit, although it is not sweet enough, but it cannot be parted.

Reluctance, regret, nostalgia, and if you can, you want to be with Lucia for longer...... Longer ....... That's the only feeling Sophia has in her heart right now.

Silently on the ruins, Sophia recalled the bits and pieces of living with Lucia in her heart, and then exhaled a long breath as if she wanted to let go, and when she raised her head again, Sophia only had determination left in her eyes.

"Let's go. ”

Glancing at her father in front of her, and slowly speaking what might be the last words, Sophia took a step without the slightest confusion and did not look back.

"Let Princess Sophia Lilbourne fulfill her final duties. ”

King Lilburne's gaze followed his daughter's all the time, his face covered in shadows with a slightly lowered head, and it was impossible to discern what kind of expression was on his face, the only certainty was that when the majestic king of the north spoke again, his voice was hoarse and dry as if he had swallowed a whole handful of sand.

"One man for the city, bring Sophia over. ”

After saying this, the one-man city containing King Lilbourne inside collapsed like a clay figure that had lost its stable form.

One of them bowed to the departed King of Lilbourne, and then hurried to follow Princess Sophia.

Sophia walked out of the courtyard door with a heavy heart, and the "Moon in the Sea Belly", which originally shrouded the entire mansion, dispersed without waiting for Sophia to get close, revealing the scene outside the door.

The city guards had been sent away, but in their place were a group of royal guards and the palace attendants.

When the royal guards and attendants saw Sophia, they immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Sophia.

"Your Highness the Princess. ”

Sophia looked at the group of guards and attendants in front of her, there was no surprise or joy on their faces, only a faint sadness and unswerving firmness.

"Looks like you already know the inside story. ”

There is no need to question, no need to explain, Sophia believes that these people know what they are talking about.

No one raised their heads, but such an attitude was tantamount to acquiescence.

Sophia waved them up, probably because she didn't expect that she would be the last to learn the truth, and she felt that the faces in front of her suddenly became unfamiliar.

The guards and attendants saw Sophia waving, but they didn't get up, not because they wanted to challenge Sophia's position, but because they couldn't get up yet.

Sophia didn't know what these people were trying to do, so she didn't continue to do anything, but waited.

After a while, the Guards officer raised his head first, knelt down on his knees, and looked at Sophia with determined eyes.

"The lower official swears to you that even if he steps into destruction, the lower official will live and die with the country. ”

The movements of the Guards officers were like signals, and the others did the same.

"We will swear to live and die with the country. ”

- Are you trying to comfort me?" Sophia thought.

It's hard to make a conclusion about the future of the country, and Sophia doesn't know if the destruction they mean by war, or if they were surrounded by all mankind because of their alliance with the demons, or if they were betrayed by the demons after the victory, but no matter what they are, these people have already made enough consciousness.

It's not just yourself who is sad, it's not just yourself who suffers, and it's not just yourself who thinks about the country. Knowing that this was enough, Sophia was relieved, so she nodded to everyone.

"I trust you, please do your best for this country. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Sophia's mouth, but it quickly disappeared again.

Sure enough, even so, the passing years in her heart still made Sophia feel regretful.

At this moment, there was a sound of 'stomping, stomping, stomping' in the distance, and the sound of the horse's hooves was easy to recognize, but I didn't know how strong the horse was, and the sound of the horse's hooves could resound through the night.

Stampede, stomp, stomp.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and soon approached Sophia's location.

At first, Sophia thought it was someone else who had come to greet her, but when she saw that everyone was a little confused, she knew that she was wrong.

"Slow down! Julius Caesar!"

Jonathan, who was so tired that he was about to collapse his eardrums and suffered, was about to cry, and don't think that he was frozen and didn't know that this beast didn't make any noise when he pulled the cart for Lucia.

Jonathan knew from the beginning that this beast horse looked down on him, which was simply the same virtue as Einstein, who created it, so Jonathan resisted riding this beast horse so much, because he was afraid that this beast with strong appearance and strong ability would bully him.

Jonathan proved to be prescient.

As soon as the beast and horse that behaved like a baby toy in front of Lucia left Lucia's sight, it instantly turned back into a fierce monster, running fast, not to mention running towards the rugged road, and running like a crazy yak on a rampage, poor Jonathan did not dare to relax for a moment and grabbed the mane of the beast horse so that he did not die in a traffic accident.

When he finally got there, as soon as the beast stopped, Jonathan jumped off the horse as fast as he could, he didn't want to stay in this bullying beast for a second.

He sat down on the ground and took a hard breath of air, and for the first time he felt that the cold air of Khiva was so delicious. Without waiting for Jonathan to take a breath, he just raised his head slightly, and Jonathan managed to almost let himself die of breath.

It's not that Jonathan is stupid enough to really gasp and kill himself, but he's frightened by what he sees.

The original luxurious main house was in ruins, and the princess who was originally looking for stood at the door, and the door, which was supposed to be empty, was surrounded by all kinds of people who were difficult to provoke at first sight.

Could it be that the princess was finally dissatisfied with Einstein's rule and united with other brothers who had been bullied by Einstein to prepare for revenge?

I have to say that Jonathan was really scared, not to mention that the plot made up in his brain was unreasonable, and there was not much logic.

While Jonathan was stunned, Sophia also felt quite helpless, I am afraid that such an unfolding was not even expected by one person for the city.

However, unlike Jonathan, Sophia was obviously much calmer, and she said a word to the city without looking back.

"He's Lucia's servant, and you don't want to do much, do you?"

The implication is not to make extraneous branches, the consequences of angering Lucia will not be so good-looking, as long as a person does not have a problem with the city brain because of the death of a person, then he should know how to cook the best.

As she spoke, Sophia clenched her fists quietly, and the moment she saw Jonathan, she faltered.

Even if she knows her responsibilities and wants to fulfill her responsibilities, Sophia can't deceive her heart, she longs to continue to be with Lucia, so she wants someone to deny what she did, and she wants someone to tie up the self who wants to sacrifice for the country.

However, it is clear that his hopes cannot be realized, and the spark of hope named Jonathan Joestar is so small that it will not burn the shackles on his body at all.
