Bai Wu leaned down, put her hands on the edge of the bed, and looked at him with her eyes bent.
Anderson chuckled, the sound mixed with a bit of bitterness and a bit of self-deprecation.
"My plan went so smoothly that I completely ignored the potential dangers."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked into Bai Wu's eyes, his expression gradually becoming complicated.
"Miriel, you are smarter than I thought. I'm sorry, I did take advantage of you, but I couldn't help myself."
"I saw everything the night you and Froze were together. At that moment, I truly understood my own feelings and how painful it felt to be betrayed."
"The moment you were taken away by the assassin, I actually regretted it. I wanted you to come back alive so that we could start over and get along with each other with a new identity -"
Bai Wu's jokes interrupted his words.
Her voice was extremely thin and full of sarcasm.
"Anderson, now that things have come to this, do you still want to put on a sheepskin to beautify yourself? Do you regret it? If you really regret it, you won't let those people take me away. Don't deceive yourself."
Anderson's eyes turned scarlet, and his white fingertips suddenly clasped Bai Wu's hand. His usually calm eyes were finally broken by uneasiness.
"What about you? Aren't you always wearing a mask?"
"Miriel, let's forget those unpleasant things and start over, okay?"
"Look, now that you are back safely, isn't this God's instruction for you and me to be together well?"
Bai Wu's eyes moved down and fell on the hand that was holding her tightly.
She curled her lips and raised her other hand to touch the back of his cold hand.
"Anderson, you are wrong. My return is not the gospel of God, but the funeral song of Satan."
"Everything you have now was given to you by me, and now I want to take it all back."
Anderson knew that his end was coming, so he released his stiffened hands and lowered his eyes.
He looked extremely depressed, and his face turned pale in an instant.
But he still spoke slowly.
"Miriel, from the time we met until now, has there ever been a moment, even a moment, when you had feelings for me?"
He looked at her with great prayer and last extravagant hope.
The girl curled her scarlet lips, put her hands on his neck, and made the most intimate gesture to him in her life.
However, the voice that escaped from those lips was extremely vicious.
"Sorry, never."
"I have neither loved you nor hated you. To me, you are not even as good as a ray of spring breeze or a piece of winter snow."
"So Anderson, stop struggling. Hypocritical people should go to hell wearing hypocritical masks."
Brant IV died.
The news spread and the whole country mourned.
The palace said that Anderson died of a hidden illness and had not recovered from his injuries. In addition, the disappearance and return of Queen Myriel made him extremely sad and overjoyed, and he could not bear it that night.
But rumors like this are circulating among the people——
Brant's regime was built on bloody events. In order to expand his territory, Brant I even went so far as to annihilate an entire race.
Therefore the entire Brandt family is cursed.
Brant I contracted the blood plague and died of the blood plague when he was only forty. His death was extremely horrific.
Brant II fell off his horse and died.
Brant III did live longer, but this was probably related to his policy of inaction.
And now Brant IV has died in his prime in his twenties, which makes people sigh and shudder at the same time.
As a result, the curse about the Brandt family spread throughout the empire, and people were panicked for a while.
At the same time, people also realized something even more terrifying - the Brant royal family had no heirs.
Now the only person who can support the situation of Brant's empire is his new queen Myriel.
Fortunately, the Rhodes family behind Miriel is strong enough and can barely sustain the current situation.
But it is still unclear who will take the throne in the future. Therefore, some small local forces are beginning to make moves.
But on the day Anderson was buried.
When Queen Myriel wore a pure black mourning dress, looking miserable and sad, with pear blossoms and rain, she climbed up to the tower to accept the condolences of everyone.
A group of people suddenly broke in noisily.
The leader was none other than Froze, who had disappeared on the gallows.
Suddenly, the crowd was excited.
Some people cheered that there was a successor to the Brant royal family.
But most of them are insults.
Some even attributed Anderson's death to him.
But Froze didn't notice it at all, he just rode a black horse with an indifferent expression and slowly walked out from the end of the road that people had given way to.
Lifting his long eyes, he looked at the woman on the tower who seemed weak and invincible, but was actually full of evil intentions.
"Sister, how come you have become a widow after not seeing me for a few days?"
Bai Wu: "."
Nima.
She wanted to jump down from here and tear this kid's mouth out.
Biting her lip, Bai Wu spoke in a hoarse voice but with full determination:
"Froze, what do you want to do? I have done my best to you, and His Majesty has passed away. What else do you want? Do you want the entire empire to become ashes in the fire of your hatred?"
After not seeing each other for a few days, not only did his sister turn into a charming widow.
Even his acting skills are even better.
If the situation hadn't been special, he would have really wanted to rush up and give her an unexpected reward kiss.
Smiling, he raised his hand and tightened the white gloves wrapped around the slender knuckles, then slowly took out the polished sword from his waist and played with it on his fingertips.
The young man's clear and cold voice passed through the sea of people and entered the tower.
"Miriel Rhodes, I advise you to be wise and surrender to me as soon as possible. To be honest, your White House has been surrounded by my people, and the Knights have already been under my command."
"You are just a poor woman whose husband has just died."
"If you are willing to crawl at my feet and call me king, I might even find you a good job in the palace."
Hearing these humiliating words, everyone around him blushed with anger.
But what can they do? In fact, just as Froze said, this place has long been surrounded by his people. If any of them dares to act rashly, those sharp spears will definitely turn him into a hornet's nest.
Bai Wu also clenched her fists in shame.
She grimaced and sneered at the man on horseback.
"Froese, you're dreaming."
"From the moment I swore an oath in front of the godfather, my heart and my people have completely belonged to Your Majesty. Even if you betray me and the entire country, I will not surrender to you."
Then she looked up at the gray sky, with crystal tears welling up in her ice-blue eyes.
"Anderson, my husband, my eternal love, I will prove my loyalty to you, and I am here to accompany you."
There were exclamations from the crowd, because they saw the beautiful and noble queen stepping onto the railing heartbroken, and then jumped down without hesitation.
After the loud sound of "Bang——", everything returned to calm.
No one expected this accident, no one thought that their young queen would die for Brant IV.
After the silence, the crowd erupted into angry roars and cries.
However, they were all suppressed one by one by the cold-blooded Froze.
This young man's perseverance and skill completely exceeded their expectations. In less than three days, he successfully controlled the situation, obtained the support of the Archpope in some unknown way, and successfully ascended the throne.
At first, protests continued one after another in the imperial city.
But gradually, these protests gradually died down.
Because although the newly appointed Brandt V is tough-minded, the measures he can take will bear fruit very quickly.
Not only did it make the villages and towns outside the imperial city lively, but even some of the old nobles were well appeased.
In addition, he also held a grand funeral for Queen Myriel.
Although the members of the Rhodes family were heartbroken at the funeral, Duke Resker gave up his military power soon afterwards and took his family to the countryside to spend his old age.
However, this funeral still won a lot of public support for Brant V, and people gradually began to take him seriously and the achievements he made.
As soon as he left the public eye, Froze immediately took off his cold and majestic mask, huddled up and fell onto the magnificent gilded bed.
He raised his knuckled hands to cover his eyes, his exposed jawline was tight, and an arched vein was about to emerge in his neck.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and a graceful woman in a black dress walked in carrying a cup of coffee.
The black hair that is as long as a waterfall is placed on the back of the head in a slightly curly arc, and the woman's equally dark eyes sparkle with a charming luster, making people unable to help but fall into it.
As soon as she put down what she was holding, Froze turned over and attacked her, pressing her down on the bed and holding her hands tightly.
"What a courageous little mouse, who allowed you to sneak out?"
Bai Wu ignored the boy's scarlet eyes and yawned sadly.
"Why, I've been hiding in the attic for so many days, and I finally made it to my funeral. Why don't you let me come out to join in the fun?"
Froze sighed helplessly.
"Sister, when can you let me have some peace of mind?"
That's right, Bai Wu's jumping off the building was just a scene they colluded to perform.
In that scene, the noble Queen Myriel fell silent, but lived in people's hearts forever.
And Bai Wu was finally reborn with her true face.
She cut off her head of bright blond hair and turned it black using a potion specially found by Froze.
The blue eyes also turned black using a special technique.
Now she is no longer the Queen Miriel Rhodes who is admired by thousands of people.
She was a mysterious beauty who came from the far east and was hidden in the White House by Froze.
Froze also didn't expect that Bai Wu, with black hair and black eyes, would be so beautiful.
Like the Queen of the Night awakening from the rose bushes, black and red are the only colors on her body.
She walked on thorns and roses, but there was no trace of scars.
There was no light in her body, not even a trace of emotion, but she became his only light.
Froze fell into her misty eyes, and he couldn't help but kiss her.
With a "pop" sound, Bai Wu's slap fell on his face.
Froze was stunned, and immediately covered his face and looked at the person below him with tears in his eyes.
"Sister, what's wrong? Why did you hit me?"
Bai Wu sneered.
"Who mocked me for being a widow and kept asking me to surrender to him?"
Froze: "."
He felt even more aggrieved.
"Sister, isn't that acting? It's been so long, why are you so vindictive?"
Bai Wu smiled: "Do you know that I hold grudges only now?"
Froze: "."
He immediately softened his attitude and buried his head in her neck.
"I'm sorry, sister. You taught me all the tricks in acting. Frozer is just learning and applying them."
"Besides, how can you be a widow? I'm not dead yet."
Bai Wu pushed the person in her arms away, straightened her clothes, and sat dignifiedly on the side of the bed.
"Oh, really? But I haven't admitted that you are my lover."
"There is an old saying in the East that men and women cannot be intimate, so go wherever you like and don't be annoying in front of me."
Froze pursed his lips and made a gesture to step forward.
"Sister, I don't want it. I want to stay by your side and stick to you all my life."
"Leave far away."
"don't want."
"you"
Bai Wu couldn't curse anymore, because Octopus now hugged her waist tightly, making her unable to breathe at all.
"Sister." Froze called her several times, as if to make sure she was still around.
Then he took her hand, knelt on one knee piously by the bed, and looked up at her with his shining eyes.
"I don't need you to surrender to me, because I am your best minister, my Queen."
"I will dedicate my life to you. Even if my body decays, my soul will still belong to you."
"It will span the eternity of time, find you again and again in the vast universe, and attach itself to you."
"Because you are its only light."
The young man's voice was hoarse and low, but it carried some inexplicable firmness that made people feel particularly reassured.
Seeing the gradually soothed emotion in Bai Wu's eyes, Froze raised the corners of his lips, then straightened up and kissed his only light.
This time, Bai Wu didn't resist, and allowed him to sacrifice her city, allowing him to overturn her universe.
The Brent Empire welcomed the only oriental queen in their history.
But they didn't protest.
Because the queen named Bai Wu looks so much like their favorite muse Miriel.
They couldn't express their anger at her or accuse her.
In this way, the people of Brant, who had been silent for a cold winter, finally ushered in their spring and summer night carnival.
After the carnival, the entire empire also ushered in a more prosperous scene.
Brant V and his queen also left a mark in the history books.
They worked diligently and loved the people, worked hard to govern, and directly pushed the empire back to a prosperous dynasty.
Froze, who has entered middle age, looks at Bai Nu, who is still bright and charming beside him, and falls into a vortex called "time".
He seemed to have seen countless of their past and present lives - constantly entangled, constantly falling in love, and then constantly dying.
He was scared, but at the same time he was looking forward to it.
"Sister." He murmured, "Tell me, can we really meet again in the next life?"
Bai Wu's eyes moved back from the birds outside. She lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something, then raised her head and smiled sweetly at him.
"Yes, after all, your body and soul already belong to me. Even if it spans the entire universe, I will find it and put it into my pocket."
After all, she can't afford to suffer at all, right?

There was a bit more written about this plane, but I wanted to finish the story and write it more satisfactorily, so I didn’t consider deleting it.
