Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 526 Snowing?
"Huh? Has Your Highness never seen snow before?"

"That's right, because the climate in Asbiro City is very warm all year round, and it never snows."

"Is that so……"

Asuo stared blankly at the young man bouncing around in the snow. It turned out that even the prince had never seen such a thing. He was able to play so happily in the snow that seemed normal to him.

"Hey, look at the trick!"

"Well!"

Just when Asuo was in a daze, suddenly a white snowball flew over and hit her on the head.Snowflakes splashed all over her head, making her shiver subconsciously.Asuo stared blankly at the remaining pile of shattered snowballs on the ground.

"Asuo, no, are you okay?"

The boy noticed something unusual and ran over in a hurry. Looking at Asuo who was standing there dumbfounded, he couldn't help but patted his head and said, "Hey? Isn't that how you play? I'm sorry, does it hurt?"

"No, it's not...it doesn't hurt at all."

Only then did Asuo realize that he was talking about snowball fights.Looking at the young man who was in a hurry to clean the snowflakes from his hair, he said hastily.

"Ah? Then why are you in a daze?"

"Because, because..."

Asuo fiddled with his fingers, faltering and saying: "Me, it's my first time playing too..."

The boy froze for a moment, and then he understood what she meant.You must know that although Asuo has seen snow before, she is hated by all the children. How could anyone be willing to play snowball fights with her.Presumably, when it snowed in the past, she could only huddle alone in the cabin, watching the children playing outside enviously through the window.

"Then, Ah Suo has always seen others play it! You know how to play it, right?"

the boy suddenly asked.

"Huh? Well... I know, I know, but I haven't played it myself..."

"Then let's go, let's find someone else!"

The boy didn't wait for her to finish, he directly took her hand and ran out.

"Hey? Why?"

"Does it need to be said? It takes a lot of people to play snowball fights, and no one here has ever played it, so Asuo, you are responsible for teaching us!"

"Hey? Me, me...Can I do it too?"

Asuo was surprised, asking himself to teach others, can he really do this kind of thing?

It's just that the boy didn't give her a chance to object at all, and forcefully pulled her out of the courtyard.

Then, in a park in the imperial palace, children gathered in twos and threes were talking excitedly. Most of the people here had never been out of the royal city, and it was the first time they saw real snow, so they were naturally very novel.

Afterwards, after hearing what His Highness said, many people who knew Asuo came to ask her about snowball fights, and some even asked about things that should be paid attention to in snowy weather.Asuo is much familiar with this, having spent so many winter days alone, she has considerable experience in how to keep warm.

Although it was shy to be surrounded by so many people suddenly, Asuo still told what he knew intermittently.Slowly, as more and more people came, Ah Suo explained to them time and time again, and he finally spoke more and more smoothly.After she reacted, she realized that she was able to communicate with others normally!

At the end of the day, the children in Wangcheng were playing wildly in the snow. At this moment, the difference in status was forgotten by everyone, and many people came to invite Asuo to play together.Although many children still kept their distance from her, this time, after all, her gloomy and cold image in the hearts of everyone changed a little.

At night, Asuo bid farewell to the crowd, hurriedly looked for His Highness, and finally saw him on a rooftop.

"Well, Your Highness, why did you run to such a place alone? If you want to leave, you have to tell me anyway, really, it made me worry for so long..."

Running to the rooftop in one breath, Asuo couldn't help complaining as he looked at the young man lying leisurely on the ground with his hands behind his head.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just saw you having a good time, and I don't have the heart to disturb you."

The boy laughed casually.

Speaking of this, Asuo was a little embarrassed, she was really happy today, so many people talked to her all of a sudden, and for the first time, she finally stopped watching enviously, but joined in playing with others, So I couldn't help being a little addicted.But she knew very well in her heart that it was all thanks to His Highness.His Highness did this in order to let her make up for the regrets of the past.

Asuo knew, but she wouldn't say it, and she wouldn't thank His Highness, because she knew that His Highness would definitely not like what she said, and there was no need to express gratitude in words between them.

Not just what happened today, all this time, His Highness must have done many things for her silently, both what I knew and what I didn't know.

She will keep these things in her heart little by little, and they will become her best memories.She always remembers what His Highness said: In this palace, whoever treats you well will return double the rewards, and whoever bullies you will return double the rewards.That's it, the kindness His Highness treated her, she can only repay it twice with actions.

Asuo smiled, and sat quietly next to the boy.

"Your Highness, don't you want to play? The snow may melt tomorrow. Your Highness, it seems that you haven't played much this day, right?"

Asuo fiddled with a lock of long hair on his chest, and asked seemingly unintentionally.Although she was surrounded by many people today, she was a little far away from His Highness, but even when she was talking to other people, she had been quietly watching His Highness in the distance.It turned out that although His Highness played with other children again, it was only at the beginning, and then he seemed to lose interest, and stood alone more often, and even left silently in the end.This made Asuo feel a little strange, does His Highness have something on his mind?

"Obviously, today is the carnival day for the children of the entire imperial capital, why is His Highness unhappy?"

Asuo couldn't help but asked directly: "Is Your Highness worried about something? Can... tell me?"

The prince glanced at Asuo, heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "I was thinking, today is indeed a carnival in the royal city, not only the palace, but also the people in the city are enjoying the rare heavy snow this time, and even Some people are looking forward to the snow for a few more days. But... is this really good?"

The boy got up from the ground, sat side by side with Asuo, shook his head and said: "I don't think so, the climate has been constantly abnormal in recent years, and the severe cold in winter is getting longer and longer, and in the east of the blood clan territory and In the south, there are tribes of trolls and orcs. They all rely on food stored in autumn for the winter, but once the winter is too long, their food is exhausted, and they can't hunt prey in the forest. They will choose to go to the forest to survive. Looting the villages on our border. The scattered defenders on the border alone can't hold it at all. When you are lucky, you only lose some food and warm clothes. , there are always unreasonable people, some not only want to burn, kill and loot, but even take women and children in the village as captives, this situation has happened more and more frequently due to climate change in recent years..."

The young man sighed, shook his head and said, "So, it's a carnival for those of us, but for the tribesmen on the border, I'm afraid that when they see snow, they will be afraid that their village will be destroyed in the next moment." Hungry orcs and trolls break through."

"Your Highness..."

Asuo looked at the young man in a daze, but he didn't know how to persuade him. She didn't understand this kind of thing, not to mention the fact that the problem of race and territory has been around for a long time, and there is no perfect solution at all. It will be dragging on for so many years.

Only now did she deeply feel that it is not easy to be a member of the royal family. His Highness is obviously only a child, yet he has to think so deeply about the next snow.It's really not something ordinary people can do.

"I must desperately become stronger and stronger, and then in the future, I will build my own army..."

The boy suddenly spoke, drawing Asuo's attention.

"...Build the most powerful army to drive all the orcs and trolls back to their hometowns, so that the tribe no longer has to worry about their own safety. Even if it snows, the children on the border can think Just like the children in Wangcheng, they can play to their heart's content without worrying about the enemy's invasion. This is my dream!"

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight filled the earth.It was under such a moonlit night that the young man looked at the giant disc in the sky with pure eyes, and slowly uttered the shining dream that he had kept in his heart all along.

Asuo stared blankly at the boy beside him, feeling that he was so shining at the moment.So attractive.

Even though he is still a young boy, this kind of shining brilliance will definitely attract people to follow.

The so-called king, that's it.

"Okay, that's awesome..."

Asuo couldn't help mumbling, and finally couldn't help putting his hands on his chest, and sincerely praised: "It's really amazing!"

Her eyes seemed to be able to see in that courtyard again, His Highness had been waving the wooden sword and practicing basic movements for several years, no matter how hard or tired he was, he never stopped.At that time, was it this dream that had been supporting him to persevere?

"No...it's not that powerful..."

Noticing Asuo's appearance on the side, the boy smiled a little embarrassedly.Then he asked again: "Then, Asuo, what about your dream?"

"I?"

"Yeah, what is your dream?"

Asuo was stunned, and couldn't help lowering his head to think for a while, finally shook his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know...hehe, I probably don't have a dream..."

"Ah? How is that possible? Everyone has dreams!"
