While a certain "princess" was performing arrogantly, the real princess was trembling with anger in the audience.
When she woke up, she found that she had been skinned clean like a little white sheep, wrapped only in a cloak and thrown into the stands. If it weren't for the two gray elves on the left and right controlling her, if she wasn't worried
Once the commotion breaks out, it will be out of control. I'm afraid she will start to make a fuss long ago.
She was frustrated that the fake princess was more capable than the real princess and overwhelmed the audience, but the subsequent angel incarnation shocked her to the point of disbelief.
Humans are a very exclusive race, but there is one bloodline that is not only not excluded, but is repeatedly praised.
"Angel."
The first generation of people of order, the messenger of God, the eldest son of God who participated in the creation of the human race, has separated from the mortal race of God.
On church murals and in sacred hymns, praise for this race is indispensable. Regardless of which epic or novel, angels are holy and pure. Their existence itself is the will of the gods, and their
Wherever the sword points, there is the natural enemy of order.
Perhaps, it is impossible for existing angels to appear in the mortal world. This is why humans who believe in the gods of order admire them so much. After all, for a true king, the farther away from the superior divine power, the better.
At that moment, Renee understood what the fake princess was doing and secretly applauded.
"Is she really helping me? Just the bloodline ability of this angel incarnation, the royal family of Lan will not be underestimated, even if the fox pretends to be the tiger, and with those information, as long as we give us time, we will have another chance
Rising hope.”
And when she saw the sword slashing Carter, Renee even waved her fist and cheered. Not to mention that she was disgusted by the gorilla, the grudges she had accumulated over the past few days had made her have no good impression of this country.
But then, Dasos' sudden proposal completely frightened her.
The marriage of the kings of the two countries? Just thinking about it is unbelievable. Whether the man is doing it for the power of blood or to completely annex the Donglan Principality, he has shown his ambition while also showing his sincerity. Undoubtedly, this is a
Very important diplomatic choice.
At that moment, Renee really hesitated. If she sacrificed herself to accept the proposal, her principality might have some breathing time. But then she thought that when the two parties to the merger were too far apart, then it would just be another part of the annexation.
There is a theory. If the current Donglan Principality merges with the Oran Empire, it will only be annexed as one of its provinces.
"Reject. You must refuse, but direct refusal will not only hurt Dasos's face, but also bring shame to the entire Oran Empire. If not, it may directly trigger a war. What should we do?"
Obviously, this was an unprepared emergency, but with the pressure and leverage of the entire empire, Dasos never expected that he would be rejected.
However, what is a desperate situation in the eyes of the real Renee is a piece of cake in the eyes of the fake Renee.
"Sorry, you are a man, but I like women."
Dasos was full of confidence in his proposal, but was rejected mercilessly in person. He wanted to take the opportunity to get angry but didn't know how to do it. In the end, it only became a farce and a source of conversation before dinner.
My proposal partner is a person with special preferences for the same sex. This kind of rejection is probably the most helpless thing, but it is also the most sufficient reason for rejection - how to fall in love with different genders.
While Renee was secretly glad that she and the Donglan Principality had just escaped, she also immediately realized that she was in new trouble. While being rescued, she seemed to have been tricked by the fake Renee. She would probably be trapped in this trap for the rest of her life.
Can't even climb out.
"Wait a minute, if you actually use my face to say this kind of declaration in front of everyone, then I won't be able to clean it up in the future? I won't have to think about getting married in this life?"
Well, the headlines of tomorrow's major newspapers have already confirmed "The emperor's proposal was blocked, Princess Renee revealed her sexual orientation", "The secret history of the emperor's love rival Svenna", "A love triangle that crosses national borders and genders", no doubt, these must be
The hottest topic recently.
As for Renee herself?
Under the witness of the God of Holy Light, there is no need to question the authenticity of her true love vows as a Paladin. Soon, with the spread of intelligence and gossip, it became clear that Her Royal Highness Princess Renee loves beautiful women rather than the country.
Special preferences will spread throughout the world.
Moreover, this will inevitably become a typical example of fake play. If it is confirmed that she is normal in the future, I am afraid that this incident of deceiving the Oran Emperor in public will definitely rise to the level of insult to the entire Oran Empire, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Then, in the future, Lei
Not only can Ni not explain it, but she also has to work hard to pretend to be an abnormal woman, and maybe even have three wives and six concubines.
"Damn! I'm going to kill you!! How can I see anyone like this?"
Well, if Diana hadn't held her down, Renee, who was only wearing thin underwear, would have rushed to the ring without hesitation and risked being exposed.
And when this tragedy was completely turned into a farce, more than two hours later, when tabloids and broadsheets were eager to spread everything that happened in the Royal Arena, the real and fake princess returned to the temporary embassy and sat down.
Together.
"Roland, you are Roland! You are indeed not dead."
"Long time no see, Sister Kelly."
----------------
Due to the wonderful performance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the unknown Donglan Principality suddenly became a hot topic. The originally sparse temporary embassy was immediately overcrowded by visitors, but unfortunately the door was locked and there was no intention of receiving it at all.
In the reception room on the second floor, it was very noisy.
"Asshole, I fought with you. How dare you frame me!"
But in front of the uncontrollably angry girl, I, who had returned to Luo Lan, slowly drank iced bitter tea. This is a specialty of my hometown. I haven't encountered it for a long time, so naturally I want to taste more.
"Then can you find a better way? Not to lose face of the Oran Empire, but also refuse to come down. You should thank me, otherwise you will be in big trouble now."
Renee is not an unreasonable person. What I told is the truth. Immediately, Renee fell silent. She had been thinking about it, but let alone a better way. She couldn't even think of this way.
"Who are you? Roland wouldn't call me that."
After the initial joy, Kelly's face became a little more hesitant when she heard my name.
"The world is big and I am bigger. Roland never calls people sister or brother. He..."
In the diary, Kelly was one of the closest people to me in the past. As expected, I couldn’t hide it, but I didn’t expect that it would be revealed as soon as I opened my mouth. Then, try the second name in the diary.
Well, by the way, there are also little secrets about the wood elves.
"Yes. Little Kelly, you still have the star-shaped birthmark on the back of your neck and the mole under your right breast and on your left buttock."
Hearing this, Kelly immediately crossed her arms, blushed with embarrassment, and stared at me with protective eyes, while Diana, who was walking with me, also looked at me in surprise.
"I have indeed forgotten a lot of things, but short-lived species can surpass the limit of life span, so this kind of sacrifice is natural."
Celebrity shook her head. Even though her intuition told her that the person in front of her was indeed Roland, she still wasn't sure.
It's a matter of great importance. You can't be too careful. If you get the things Roland left, you may know this, but she has better testing methods.
The dagger entwined with twin dragons was placed in front of him. It was the "Lamp of Life" linked to the soul.
As soon as I got closer, the small white bead emitted a dazzling light, proving that it was the lamp of my life.
"As expected, it's you little pervert! How on earth did you turn it off and on again, and on and off again!"
Before I could react, Kelly hugged me. Her excited face made people wonder if she was the calm wood elf just now.
"Oh, it's very simple. Just die and live again, live and then die."
Hearing this, Kelly was stunned. Die and live again, live and die again? It's easy to say, but if you have a little understanding of the world and the soul, you will know that this is absolutely impossible.
"Okay, it's a rare reunion, let's not mention these boring things. By the way, does the black and white color of this lamp of life mean that the soul is leaning towards the order side and the chaos side? It seems that Cavins is really dark this time.
.”
Indeed, there is nothing more biased towards Chaos than the devil incarnated by Chaos, but what was surprising was that Kelly shook her head.
"More than one hundred and thirty years ago, your soul pearl was darker than his. Can you tell me, are you it? The nightmare that represents the dark night."
The wood elf's question was trembling. Even though the news that Lord Yongye was Roland had spread among the top leaders of various countries, as the first teacher of Gemini, she had always been unwilling to believe where the originally kind and sunny Roland would go.
step.
"Well, it's me. I found out that the fall of the Land of Arashi was not as simple as it seemed, so I simply purged all the suspects and accomplices. Ha, it seems that I went a little too far later."
"ah……"
"Sister Kelly!! What did you do! Why did Sister Kelly faint?"
Well, the most worrying nightmare came true. Kelly didn't say anything, she had mixed feelings and resentment on the spot, and she fainted and fell to the ground.
But she fainted, leaving the remaining three people present. All they could do was stare at each other. I lost the relevant memory. I could only know from the diary that Kelly loved me in the past, but I couldn't understand this excessiveness.
reflection.
But after Renee's first aid, Kelly just woke up and suddenly hugged me and started sobbing softly.
"Wow, it's all because of Sister Kelly's incompetence that you and Cavins suffered so much."
The person who values has fallen into darkness, the prince of sunshine has become the devil, and the strong self-blame makes Celebrían burst into tears.
Tears wet my back, but this familiar yet unfamiliar touch makes me unable to move. This feeling of being loved and cared for by an elder is the first time I have encountered it. It makes me so uncomfortable and makes me want to hurry up.
escape.
"It seems that I am looking for something that can help restore my memory."
It was obvious that others were crying but I felt nothing. For the first time, I felt that a log could not replace memory. Once something is lost, it is difficult to get it back.
Well, it took a lot of effort to persuade Kelly, who was already blaming herself and crying, to change the topic to the main topic.
"...will you come back?"
A trembling Kelly asked, but I shook my head.
What are you going to do when you go back? My subjects are still in the Sulfur Mountain City. The current Donglan Principality is no longer the original Lan Kingdom. Besides, how can the abdicated king ascend the throne again? My goals also make it impossible for me to limit myself to just one.
country.
"However, I will help the Land of Arashi rise again. Those materials have shown part of my sincerity. And the next highlight begins with this sword."
[Roland's Holy Sword, sub-artifact]
[Attack power: 22-44+11] (+11 means that it is regarded as a +11 level sub-artifact. Even if the lower limit damage of the weapon is used, 11 points of irreducible silver flame enchantment damage will be added)
[Never Broken: Even if faced with an artifact, this holy sword will not break. 】
[The Royal Power of Lan: The Holy Sword of Roland is the symbol of the royal power of the Royal Family of Lan. Only with the approval of the king can you use this holy sword. With the rise of the Kingdom of Lan again, it is working hard to evolve to become stronger. But
At the same time, this proud holy sword can only be used by the knights trusted by the king of Arashi Kingdom.】
[Wind of the King: The holder has strength +2, agility +2, physical strength +2, and charm +6. In a country formed by the blood of Lan, reputation is calculated starting from respect. 】
[There is a string of yellow characters on the sword body: The Holy Sword of Roland is the sword of the legendary paladin prince Roland. Only his descendants and successors of will can be recognized by this holy sword. (Conditions for use: Bloodline of Arashi)]
The silver holy sword exuded dazzling brilliance, but I was crying secretly. I should have known that the system had no good intentions, and it was not something I could use from the beginning.
Become a knight loyal to the royal family? That requires a canonization ceremony and a fiefdom. The current Donglan Principality simply cannot do it. Even if I can do it, I am not willing to become a knight loyal to someone, even if the object of loyalty is likely to be
My own descendants.
And even if I can use it, in my hands, this is at best a magic weapon. Although such a thing is rare, I can still find it. With the guidance of "history", I think it shouldn't be too difficult.
But if the Crown Prince Knight Princess of this generation recovers the Holy Sword of Roland, the symbol of royal power, it is simply destiny. In this era where royal power and divine power are intertwined, the recovery of the lost royal power will greatly increase the cohesion of the entire country.
, those survivors who were lost due to the war will also consider returning to their homeland.
At least, the reputation of Renee who has recovered Roland's Holy Sword will skyrocket. With the Royal Divine Weapon as a weight, she can even try to negotiate a merger with the other two small countries established by the survivors of the Land of Arashi. In this way, with the territory and people, the Land of Arashi can
Only when the country rises again can there be hope
"Roland's Holy Sword! Is this the legendary Roland's Holy Sword?"
The cheering Renee had just touched the Holy Sword, but was directly thrown away. However, judging from the fact that she had not been burned by the Holy Flame, she was indeed fully qualified for use, but she was still too weak, so weak that even the Holy Sword could not admit it.
arrive.
However, looking at this persevering princess, I am also thinking about ways to make her stronger.
"Why is Renee so weak? Has no one taught her?"
"Renee's swordsmanship talent is okay, but it's just okay. There are many trivial chores on her, so she has time to slowly practice swordsmanship. She has no talent for divine magic, so the path to Paladin and Priest is cut off. Although
She is very smart, but she does not have a lot of time required to become a mage, so the most she can do is practice swordsmanship and exercise. Don’t use you and Cavens as a standard comparison. The royal family of Lan has only produced two of you in thousands of years.
This would be unfair to other royal children."
I nodded, I almost knew what to do.
"I have a new professional Justice Knight here. Although he is a knight of the God of Law, he actually does not need to be completely loyal to the church like the Paladin. He does not need the willpower attribute required for divine magic. He needs
What is needed is intelligence, what is needed is the understanding and analysis of the law..."
"Perhaps, Donglan Principality can get in touch with the Church of the God of Law. If it can become the state religion, many things will be different..."
"By the way, the training of Aurora Knights must start now. It will be too late when winter comes..."
It didn't take long to talk about the real thing. After all, it was just me talking and they listened. It didn't take long for them to finally make up their minds. But there is something private that I really want to ask.
"By the way, whose descendants are Kelly, Renee and the others? Mine or Cavins's."
An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law, and she is full of ups and downs. This doubt is not a thing in my heart, so I finally asked about it.
"You don't know it yourself?"
Well, Kelly's surprise was natural, but I could only shake my head helplessly and pointed at my head, indicating that I couldn't remember.
Suddenly, Kelly showed a heartbroken expression, then lowered her head and complained angrily with tears.
"That's enough for you to forget me! You actually forgot our child!"
"Our children!", "Our children!", "Our children!" Five words echoed in my mind and the room at the same time.
"Click!", "Click!" Diana and I both dropped our cups to the floor. Our grown mouths could not be closed.
"Bang." That was Renee who threw her sword to the ground. She also looked dumbly at the sister who raised her. Could it be that her ancestors were actually her children? Should she call her grandma?
“You’re kidding!!”
I am completely at a loss. The most terrifying thing about losing my memory is that I have no idea what I have forgotten. Did I forget my wife and children without knowing it?
"Yeah, I'm just kidding. I'm not married yet."
Kelly stuck out her tongue and made a face, even though she was already 700 years old. Among the long-lived wood elves, she could only be considered a young woman, and wood elves were famous for their emotional optimism.
"Crack!" This time even the plate holding the cup fell.
I clutched my chest and collapsed on the chair. This sudden shock was really not good for my heart.
I finally understand why the records about Kelly in the diary are so contradictory:
"Although she is as gentle as a sister and a mother, she loves to joke too much. Sometimes those can be fatal. Don't give her a chance, otherwise you will regret it, absolutely!" I also marked this record with an asterisk.
.
"I almost believed it. Please don't joke about this kind of thing!" Okay. I admit that I completely believed it.
"Actually, I don't know. The war was raging at that time. I went back to Melody Forest. When I met him again, the person from back then had changed beyond recognition. But he should be a descendant of you or Cavins, but anyway, they are all
For descendants of Lan, hundreds of years have passed and their bloodline has naturally become thinner. Is there any difference?"
The difference is huge! It affects whether I am a senior magician for more than three hundred years!
Well, to say this is to expose my own ugliness. It also reveals that I have not made any progress in my love life in the past three hundred years. I am not that stupid.
"It should be Cavins, after all, that kid is better than you..."
Needless to say the rest, I know Cavins is much more popular than me, but please don't rub salt in the wound.
But then, the familiar body fragrance came closer, and Sister Kelly hugged me again.
"If the good memories are gone, just make them again. Kelly, I like the cute little Roland the most..."
Just after we reunited, I was hugged three times. At the same time, I also understood the meaning of the note next to it: "Be careful not to be used as a pillow."
"Sister Kelly, I am not a child anymore."
Although I was a little touched by the excessive enthusiasm, I was mostly at a loss. After all, half of the beauties I had come into contact with before were yelling at me, and the other half were smiling at me with hidden knives. Such kindness
It's unprecedented for a beautiful woman to fall into my arms, but I don't know how to deal with it.
Suddenly, Kelly in her arms smiled evilly, came closer, stuck out the tip of her tongue, and gently licked my ear.
I felt the soft touch on the tip of my ear. For a moment, I felt a shiver all over my body, then I felt dizzy and quickly backed away.
"You...what did you do."
Even without looking in the mirror, I know that my face must be very red, and now, my bottom is completely exposed.
"The reaction is exactly the same as in the past. He said he is not a child. After so many years, it seems that little Roland's love life is still blank. I have also seen the sage's ring of time distortion. We wood elves are the most sensitive to natural life.
Elf, detecting the age of ancient trees through contact is our most basic racial talent. Judging from the smell just now, your real age is far different from your appearance. Do you need me to guess your current real age?
"
I clasped my hands together and raised my hands in surrender. In the past, I was the only one who deceived people. Today, I have finally met someone who can completely deceive me. Is this the experience of an older person? But it was obviously very easy for me to deceive the Banshee King.
"Huh, don't underestimate people. I've watched you grow up, and all your tricks are of no use to me."
It seems that it is not only the age and experience gap, but more importantly her understanding of me, while my understanding of her is limited to information and books.
Suddenly, as if she was dissatisfied with my defensive gaze, she hugged me again.
When I looked warily at this woman who liked to grab people, a whimpering sound came from behind my ears. On my shoulder, Kelly sobbed and cried.
"It's too much, stinky Lanlan, you actually forgot about me. I'm still thinking about you and worrying about you. You only talk to me about business matters and don't even know how to care about others. Let me hug you, just for a moment, ugh
Woohoo, bastard Lanlan."
I felt the crying behind me and I couldn't move any more. My five senses were mixed and all five flavors were mixed, but I really didn't know what to do.
I am now sure that the woman who is both my teacher and my mother is definitely my nemesis. I would rather fight the dragon alone than guess what she is going to do next. In the end, I can only helplessly let her do whatever she wants.
Once I hugged him, I held him for at least ten minutes.
"Little Roland has also reached the age of turning into an adult. If it is Roland, it is okay."
Even after finally letting go, the casual and ambiguous jokes still leave people wondering whether they are true or false.
But looking at the green-haired elf in front of me, whose pupils were swollen from crying but still smiling from the bottom of his heart, I felt that I had another reason for my efforts.
Ten minutes later, a fire suddenly attacked the temporary embassy of the Donglan Principality. It seemed to be caused by radicals who were dissatisfied with the knight princess's rejection of Dasos' proposal. Twenty minutes later, under the escort of a small team of Donglan Royal Knights,
Next, the princess and her palace teacher found a new residence - a three-story bungalow.
"Welcome to the location of the Mercenary Group's Alliance of Absolute Gentlemen. We will provide the most reliable security and the most considerate room service." (To be continued...)
