Princess' personal painter

"About Erica, you don't have to bear it alone." Yaniweier continued, "At the beginning, the three of us agreed to become each other's friends... I always remember that, as long as Irene is like that wish, I will work with you to bring Alikara back."

Erin's eyes widened, and tears welled up again: "Is it really possible?"

"Well, after all, my fate is already connected with you." Yaniweier kissed the tears on Irene's cheek again, and said softly, "I will always follow you."

In this way, after Irene's spirit stabilized, Yaniweier explained to her the current situation of the Principality of Silesia——

Nine days ago, when Lydia took her daughter to visit relatives, Grandpa Rod Aldrich, who had maintained a cooperative relationship with the "Old Sect" for a long time, suddenly announced that the Grand Elder of the Underground Sect would be granted the title of Archbishop of Silesia. The internal institutional structure of the sect and ratify it as the state religion.

At the same time, Broad announced that Silesia had entered a period of war readiness, claiming to support the Sislin Parish in the north, and the two religions shared a common hatred against the invasion of the Holy See Crusaders.

Due to the widespread spread of the Sislin sect in the principality, coupled with the general hatred of the Holy See from historical sources, although the supremacy of the "Old Church" has aroused doubts from some nobles, everything is progressing smoothly as expected.As one of the most important countries in the Bohemia region, Silesia sent troops to Sislin to fight in the name of a country, and it seemed to be a certainty.

It wasn't until this time that the nobles and officials below realized that Grand Duke Brod, who used to act in a low-key manner, had actually been secretly preparing for this matter for a long time.

No one could have imagined that something fatal went wrong after only two days.

Grand Duke Brod was assassinated by an unknown person, and was found dead in the bedroom by the guards.

The "Old Sect" who had just taken over was obviously caught off guard by this change, and the news spread throughout the city of Floz before it was blocked. Many pointed their suspicions directly at the archbishop.

After more than half a day, due to the appearance of the "Holy Maiden", the direction of public opinion has changed, and they began to suspect that the Duchess, who had left during this period, was the murderer behind the scenes.

Calculating from the time, it was also from that time that the "Old Sect" began to send people to hunt down Lydia's mother and daughter. After the hunt failed, they designed such a way to pour sewage on her body, and tried every means to make Lidia Dia is at a disadvantage.

"Why do you want to kill Madam?" Irene asked puzzled.

"Because Sister Nikki is the only heir to the Grand Duke, if she succeeds to the throne, the lady who is the guardian will be the regent." Yaniweier explained, "But it is well known that the lady is the most steadfast believer in the Holy Church , the Grand Duke specially made changes when she left, and this is probably the reason."

"For this reason... killed so many people?"

"The change has only just begun. Once Madam can control the situation, the preparations made by Grand Duke Brod and the old church for so many years will fall short. If it were me, I would also try my best to kill this possibility... at least Just delay the situation."

"Even if you don't hesitate to kill innocent people?"

"In terms of benefits, such a risk is worth taking."

Seeing Yaniweier's serious expression, Irene couldn't help pursing her lips, and asked in a low voice after a long time: "As for the dispute between the two sides, what is your sister's decision now?"

"The princess hasn't decided yet."

Yaniweier said softly: "She is waiting for you to wake up, and said she wants to hear your opinion."

Chapter 40 Each Other Who Differed

A little later, Sisyana also saw Irene who woke up.

Feeling guilty, Sisyana repeated "I'm sorry" to Irene several times, grabbed her and kept asking how she was doing, making Irene's shame well up, she broke away from the other's embrace with flushed cheeks, and spat in a low voice Said: "Xia, don't be like this... I'm not a child."

Sisyana let out a "poof" laugh, slender fingers slid down Irene's chestnut hair, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay to act like a child to me."

My lord sister...maternity attack?

Eileen lowered her head shyly, slandering in her heart.

After the episode, the three began to discuss the serious business.

Irene's original intention of coming to Froz was to fulfill the agreement half a year ago to meet with Qiye Messiah, and to explore the mystery of her own life experience.For her, who was really the Princess of the Old Empire, Elisamina St. Olysses, this was a very important matter.

Unexpectedly, because of escorting Lydia's mother and daughter into the city, she was involved in an unexpected situation.

Whether it is the side of the "old religion" or the side of Lydia's mother and daughter who are the orthodox heirs, they have no direct relationship with them.

Furthermore, because Lydia's family is the royal family of Norov in the east, although the Norov Kingdom has little contact with Wakabayashi, it is indeed Wakabayashi's biggest competitor in the central and eastern regions of the mainland.On the other hand, Lydia herself has a pure holy faith, and has deep-rooted prejudices against both the old religion and the Sislin sect. In the long run, her superior position is quite unfavorable to Sisyana.

Coupled with Irene's close relationship with the Old Sect, it would be more beneficial to help the Old Sect—if the incident when entering the city hadn't happened.

"Our relationship with the Holy See in the future is very likely to be hostile." Taking this opportunity, Sisyana also directly expressed her views.

Although she has the title of "Saint of Blue", the separation of Archbishop Bovis and the Holy See who pardoned her is well known.On the other hand, whether it is Sisyana's own attitude towards the Holy See, or the people who are excluded by the Holy See gathered in her identity, it is impossible for her to stand on the same side as the Holy See.

"The enemy of my enemy is my ally" applies exactly to the current situation.

Yaniweier said: "Judging from the situation, giving up Mrs. Lydia is the right choice."

"Indeed, because of the Holy See, we have no reason to be hostile to the old religion." Sisyana nodded, her blue eyes turned towards Irene, "But I want to hear what Irene thinks?"

Erin asked hesitantly, "My thoughts?"

"Well, in other words, I want to leave the decision to you."

"Why... let me decide?"

"The things here have the most to do with you. After all, you have been sleeping in the underground palace here for 300 years." Sisyana said softly, "Also, Qiye was in distress in Irene. I saved you when I was there, and that girl named Erika who seems to be a 'Saint' is also someone who is very close to you? Wei Er has already told me..."

Irene said in a low voice: "But, the hatred between me and her can no longer be resolved."

Sisyana shook her head: "I believe that there is no unresolvable hatred in this world. Erin, when you were in a coma these days, you kept calling the name 'Erica'. I can feel your pain and Confused, I can also feel that your mood does not contain 'hate'... I was also very sorry to see her kill so many people that day, but since she is the person Irene cares about, I choose to believe that her nature is not Such."

Unexpectedly, Sisyana would say such a thing, Erin raised her head and asked fearfully: "Even such a sin, can it be forgiven?"

"Irene, Wei'er...we are the same, with blood on our hands. Even though we uphold the self-righteous 'justice', in fact, we do not have the right to judge others." After a pause, Sisya Na continued with a sigh, "And, if I really choose that path in the future, when I walk through the thorns, I may also pay the blood of countless innocent people."

In the process of assuming the Ruolin throne, death and sacrifice are almost inevitable. Sisyana has a very clear understanding of this.

Erin asked uneasily: "This is Xiya... what do you think?"

"Yes, during the past few days when Irene was in a coma, I thought a lot. In order to avoid something like this time, I have been thinking about how to make our future better... sorry, I It has become selfish." Sisyana said with a wry smile.

"But, Xi Ya." Irene bit her lips, "In my heart, you are not only a gentle elder sister who is gentle to those around you, but also the same kindness to everyone, and you will go to Her Royal Highness, the princess who saved the entire city of Insterburg..."

"I did do a lot of willful things before..."

"It was because of my sister's willfulness that I was saved by you."

"In this matter, my thoughts are not important." Sisyana's eyes revealed a bit of worry, "I just hope that you will not be disturbed by my thoughts, so..."

"My sis wants me to support the side of the old religion and reconcile with Erica?" Unknowingly, Irene used a questioning tone, "I'm sorry... I really can't approve of Erica like that, just like that Forgiving her as if nothing had happened is really too weird, I can't do it..."

"Saving Erica, isn't this your wish?" Sisyana was taken aback for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Besides, you want to explore the mystery of when you woke up two years ago. The most convenient path... Erin, what are you stubborn about?"

Irene became a little angry: "Where are Madam and Sister Nicky?"

"Send Madam back to Norov to prevent her from being persecuted. As for Sister Nikki, as long as she does not oppose the reform and becomes the Grand Duchess, people from the Old Church will not do anything to her."

"As a puppet?"

"When she grows up, she will slowly regain her power."

"Sister, don't you care about those innocent victims?"

"If there is a civil war in Silesia, there will be more innocent victims."

Hearing these answers, Irene felt an unspeakable discomfort in her heart. She bit her lip and stood up, staring straight at Sisyana: "Is this politics?"

After a while, Sisyana nodded and said, "This is politics."

The stiff atmosphere spread between each other, and Irene shook her drowsy head vigorously, and said with difficulty: "Sorry, I'm a little confused now... Please leave me alone!"

"Eileen?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." After that, Irene, who was in a mess of thoughts, quickly fled the room regardless of Sisyana's call behind her.

Chapter 41 Each Heart

After Irene escaped from the room, Yaniweier stopped Sisyana who got up and wanted to catch up, and said to her: "It's okay, let Irene stay alone for a while."

Sisyana stood there in a daze, with confusion in her eyes, she murmured, "Did I say something wrong?"

"I just know that you seem to have missed the point."

"Misunderstanding the point?"

"Think about it differently. If it were you, seeing Erin suddenly become so unnatural in order to support your actions, you would definitely be angry, right?"

Sisyana hesitated to speak: "But..."

"Irene, she just sees this, so she will feel uncomfortable." Yaniweier, who is an outsider, has a more thorough understanding of the relationship between the two, and reminded her, "Knowing that everything you do is worthless." It's for her own good, but I can't be angry with you... After all, she doesn't want you to wrong yourself so much."

Sisyana said in a low voice: "I know Irene too well. If I didn't say that, she would definitely support my choice unconditionally... I don't want to see her look sad and regretful."

"But, Erin cares so much about Erica, won't you be angry?"

After a little hesitation, Sisyana still showed her heart in front of this "rival in love", and said through gritted teeth: "Of course I will be angry! Only when I heard her calling Erica's name while she was asleep, did I know that there was still something hidden in her heart." At that time, I was so angry... But there is no way, who made Eileen such a sentimental person, otherwise she would not have asked me to take you back from Miss Stuart's hands It's..."

"Regarding this, I will always remember the princess' kindness."

"Irene is too gentle. As long as she has been with people before, she will treat others wholeheartedly. For example, Unica... obviously didn't like her so much before, but when Unika was in crisis, Eileen also put in all her strength to save her, and almost put herself on it..."

After a pause, Sisyana's tone became terrified: "At that time, I was only focused on saving more soldiers, and I was unaware of their distress. I almost lost two close relatives... that kind of fear , I really don’t want to repeat it any more.”

"Is that your reason?"

"Irene's arrival is the greatest surprise bestowed upon me by the gods. However, sometimes I feel that all of this is too unreal. I don't know when she will suddenly leave me..." When confiding, Sisyana's submissive expression was filled with concern for someone, "I want to keep her forever, so I would rather she become selfish and ask me for more... Sorry, Probably my thoughts are the most selfish."

Speaking of contradictory words, Sisyana's eyes showed a hint of fragility, but Yaniweier beside her laughed softly: "Irene may have the same thoughts as you. "

Sisyana hesitated and said, "Same as me?"

"The two of you are actually the same kind of people in essence." Yaniweier nodded, "Pay too much attention to each other's thoughts, but ignore your own position in each other's mind. Sometimes too strong love is a It's a burden...better to have an open and honest conversation."

Hearing such a proposal, Sisyana fell silent for a while.

Yaniweier continued: "The princess has such a heart, and Irene's side is the same. If you don't want to embarrass her, you don't need to go around in circles from the beginning."

After a long time, Sisyana, who finally figured it out, let out a soft breath and said, "Wei Er, thank you."

Yaniweier said lightly, "You're welcome. With your relationship, it doesn't matter if I remind you or not."

Sensing the resentment in the girl's tone, Sisyana repeated: "I still have to thank you, Wei'er... Also, don't call me princess anymore, just call me Xiya like Irene."

Yaniweier raised her eyes and stared at the girl for a while, then shook her head: "Forget it, if I really called it that way, Irene would be jealous, and I have no intention of embarrassing her..."

Slightly taken aback, Sisyana asked softly, "Wei Er, what is your pursuit?"

"Pursuit? It doesn't exist." Yaniweier replied calmly, "I'm satisfied with the current situation... Don't worry, I won't rob Irene from you."

"I'm a little curious about one thing, 'Excessively strong love is sometimes a burden'-have you ever had that experience?"

Yaniweier's complexion changed, she turned her eyes away in an evasive manner, and said lightly, "Princess, please forget about this matter, and don't mention it to Irene, please..."

"Sometimes, I really can't understand your thoughts."

Sisyana sighed to herself.
