Chapter 10 Do you like me like that?

 Ringer's statement made Saint Shalia startled for a moment, and the movement of stroking the lamb in her arms gradually slowed down. She asked with some hesitation: "Do you mean that the curse on me is disappearing, Ringer?



Ringer shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

He glanced at the girl with confusion in her eyes, and then said: "Besides, did anyone say that your curse must be amnesia? Don't forget, Ovela and the others also lost their memory."

As long as the reincarnated Maiden Queen has lost its memory of the past, it must be gradually restored with the passage of time or the anchor points provided by believers. Before, Saint Xalia always believed that her curse was amnesia, and that was because she

She feels that she has not been reincarnated, and is still the young queen who maintained the balance of the universe in the Temple of Heaven. However, the story told by Feier completely denies this possibility. In this case, amnesia is no longer a curse, but a random event.

It is inevitable that the internal division of the girl's monarchy will occur.

"But," a confused look appeared on Saint Xalia's face: "In that case, what is my curse?"

Why did my memory suddenly recover?

Ringer did not answer her question directly, but instead asked: "What are you going to do next?"

"What?"

"You have listened to Feier's story. Differences in the concept of girl's sovereignty are inevitable, and the Yintian plan of the Witch Association is destined to cause many sacrifices to the world - or in other words, they have already begun to sacrifice, no matter it is

Your own life, or the life of others. Faced with this situation, as a young queen, what are you going to do?"

Lin Ge's straightforward inquiry was like a sharp dagger, piercing through a layer of hazy disguise, exposing the problems that Saint Xalia did not want to face and did not dare to face in the miserable sunlight. The shepherd girl

Her body trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at the blue sky and blue sea in the distance with melancholy eyes. She saw the snow-colored clouds surging in the storm rolled up by the giant whale, and the layers of tides crowded like foam.

It broke into pieces, splashing into crystal waves all over the sky. Her thoughts gradually became empty, her vision lost focus, as if she was stuck in some kind of difficult thinking.

The lamb noticed that the owner's hand suddenly stopped stroking, and it bleated dissatisfiedly. However, this dissatisfaction was obviously not directed at Saint Xalia, but at Ringer. In its simple logic,

, if Linger hadn’t asked questions he shouldn’t have asked, how could his master have become like this? So, it’s all Linger’s fault!

Ringer ignored it. Anyway, the lamb's dissatisfaction was roughly equivalent to Alice's memory and Xie Mi's reliability. They were both things that didn't exist at all. Even if they existed for a while, they would soon disappear without a trace.

He looked at Saint Shalia, waiting for the girl's answer.

After a while, Saint Xalia gradually came back to her senses and realized that Linger was still waiting for her answer. But how should she answer? This question was too profound and too difficult, as if even fate had no control over it.

Choice, so in the end, she slowly shook her head and said the sentence she often talked about: "Sorry, I don't know..."

"So, this is your curse." Lin Ge said calmly.

Facing the doubtful look from the girl, he explained: "Haven't you noticed that you always say this? But every time you say this, it's not because you really don't know, but because you really don't know.

It's because you don't know how to make a choice, so you use it as a reason to escape. In other words, you are always confused, unable to see clearly your future direction, and you don't know where you are going.

A road..."

He paused for a moment, as if he was considering the next sentence, so that it would be more tactful, at least not so harsh: "As a person who guides destiny, he is trapped by his own destiny, always wandering in hesitation and confusion.

...Don’t you think this is a very sad curse?”

Just like [Truth] will be lost in the never-ending darkness, [Freedom] will be trapped in an inescapable prison, and [Eternity] will be trapped in the maze of memory and reincarnation...it's all very sad.

If you can't even choose your own destiny, how can you guide the destiny of others? Therefore, in the past, Saint Charlia searched all over the world for hundreds of years, but could not find even a sister. Until she met Lin Ge, she changed her destiny.

It was only after I handed the road sign into his hands that I finally gained something.

However, Ringer cannot help her make decisions at any time. How can a girl make a choice when there is no Ringer or anyone else around?

After understanding what Lin Ge meant, Sheng Xia Liya had no excuses. In fact, she should have noticed it a long time ago, instead of Lin Ge reminding her. But she was always evading and always confused.

, always saying "I don't know", so I lost the opportunity to face myself calmly. Is it a curse that affects people's minds, or is my character originally so weak? Thinking of this, Sheng Xia

Liya pursed her lips lightly, lowered her head with some disappointment, and looked absently at the wind-swept vegetation on the hill without speaking.

When Lin Ge saw this scene, he seemed to have just remembered that the purpose of coming here was to comfort Saint Xalia, not to make her mood worse. So, he changed the topic a little stiffly: "However, if you really

If you want to relieve your curse, there is no way."

When Saint Xalia heard this, she immediately turned her head. She did not speak, but stared at Linger quietly with her soft and clear golden eyes, but this look seemed to be a silent inquiry, or to say,

The oppression of conscience. Lin Ge sighed silently in his heart, and then said to her: "Your curse is different from Olvera and others. There are ways to overcome it."

Once Oveira falls into the darkness, she will become frightened, have difficulty breathing, and even gradually die; Ieta cannot leave the windmill tower where she lives, otherwise it will bring disaster to the people around her; Leticia cannot resist the influence of the full moon.

Calling, every full moon night, they will lose all their memories in pain... These are not controlled by their own will, so there is no other way except to endure it silently.

However, Saint Shalia is different. Although her curse is also an invisible enemy that is difficult to expel or defeat by force, Saint Shalia can fight it with her own will and gradually defeat it.

"So, there is only one thing you have to do." Lin Ge said to Saint Xalia seriously: "At any time, you must be firm in your choice and make decisions based on your own will. Instead of encountering difficulties.

I just want to escape from everything, always saying I don’t know, and leaving the choices to others. Doing that will just make yourself sink deeper and deeper into the maze of fate.”

Saint Xalia murmured: "In this way, can we get rid of the curse?"

"I'm not sure if I can get rid of the curse, but at least I will be better than you are now."

"..."

Saint Xalia pursed her lips.

The clear wind gurgled among the meadows, making a rustling sound, and flowed to the distant forests and flower fields. The green grass swayed gently in the breeze, and the fragrant fragrance of unknown flowers quietly penetrated along the direction of the wind.

There was a comfortable breath in the noses of the two people. The bright sunshine always shone on this small hill, so that the figures of the two people and the sheep were enveloped in the warm and bright light. The naughty little sheep came from

The owner stuck his head out of his arms, bit into a dog's tail grass that came out from under the stone, and tried to pull it out with slight force.

At this moment, Saint Xalia suddenly spoke: "Would Ringer like it?"

"What?" The young man didn't hear clearly and asked subconsciously.

So, the girl repeated it clearly and word by word: "Would Ringer like me like that?"

The me who can make choices unswervingly.

I won’t always say “I don’t know”.

Compared to the me in the past and the me now, the better me.

……

Ringer, this is your suggestion. So, are you saying this because you like that kind of me and want to see me like that?

The girl didn't know when she put down the lamb in her arms. She put her two hands on the grass and inadvertently used her palms to grab the messy grass blades and a small piece of fragrant soil. Her body leaned forward slightly, her face

As he got closer to Linger, his pair of shining golden eyes looked at Linger unblinkingly, just like the sun in the sky looking at the ground. At a very dangerous distance, the sound of hot breathing was amplified by the heartbeat, and gradually

Clearly audible.
