Princess' personal painter

This group of nuns observed Irene's every move, not letting go of any details, even if Irene was just distracted because she was too bored while reading a book; She blushes because of missing her period; she even bit her lip and frowned because she felt unwell because of the coming of menstruation—no matter what Irene showed, it could cause heated discussions among the nuns in private.

... Miss sister, you are so fanatical, I am very panicked!

Since the "essence" of the World Tree will take a while to dissipate, Erin has been showing people the personality image of a "nun" during this time. The purpose of coming to this ascetic monastery is actually "refuge".

After all, during the day, Irene only took a few hours to make all the maids in the castle look at themselves with the eyes of stars, and even Sisyana, who was supposed to be the most sensible, began to feel uneasy. She showed a resentful expression undisguised, and at the back, even the princess Dai'er and the innocent and young Luo Luo hugged her arms from left to right, and began to act coquettishly.

Irene, who was surrounded by many girls and was almost obsessed with ghosts, finally woke up and made a difficult but extremely correct decision before her terrible physique caused even greater turmoil.

After coming to this monastery, although Irene tried her best to avoid contact with the nuns here, she made these nuns who lacked concentration become "victims".Fortunately, they grew up in the monastery and were very devout to the gods, with simple thoughts, and did not think of going to other places.

Infused with the holy atmosphere here, most of the "essence" in my body should have dissipated, but I noticed the more and more adoring eyes of these nuns.Eileen suspected that if her "spiritual energy" was stronger, she might become the object of unrequited love and bitter love for young ladies.

In another two or three days, it should be fine, right?

Thoughts were wandering, Irene's fingers turned another page, but she didn't want to read any more.

In the case of the "nun" personality, things related to the Holy Light, such as the "Holy Code", are indeed the items that make Irene feel the most intimate, but after all, she is not the candidate who was determined to serve God wholeheartedly Saintess, so after staying in the monastery for a long time, you will eventually feel boring.

Just as she was distracted, she saw a young nun standing in front of her and timidly called out "Your Highness the Princess". When Irene looked up, she spoke softly, lest she would disturb this perfect girl : "Someone came to see you again. We said that His Highness hasn't seen you for a while, but she still refuses to leave."

"No." Erin shook her head helplessly.

The girls in the castle are already closely related to me. Leaving Sisyana aside, the relationship between Unika and her is complicated. If the fox sisters are born by nature, then the elf girl Yingxin is the real one. Showed a bit of infatuation.In addition, Irene was also a little afraid of having a bad relationship with Del Palin... Thinking of how she had been entangled with so many girls unknowingly, Irene felt dizzy for a while.

With such a dangerous physique, in order to avoid the sadness of her elder sister, Irene still decided to hide out of sight, lest she accidentally make any mistakes.

Irene sighed softly, but heard the nun in front of her say again: "But, she has been standing outside the house all morning, saying that you won't leave unless you go out."

"Huh?" Erin was a little taken aback.

She was able to hide in the monastery for so long, and of course she got Sisyana's acquiescence.

During this period of time, all the girls in the castle, including Eunika, have come to look for Irene, but only Sisyana has not. She must have seen some clues from this and chose to trust Irene In this way, silently enduring the pain of lovesickness after finally reuniting and temporarily parting.

Sisyana was naturally excluded. Irene was a little curious about who was waiting outside, and felt guilty and flustered because of this, when she heard the nun hesitantly say: "The girl said she was here I want to say goodbye to you, so I have to meet with you. Also, I just saw... her eyes were red, as if she had been crying..."

"Farewell?" Erin stood up in a panic when she heard the words.

With a soft heart by nature, she would never see a girl cry, not to mention the word "farewell" has already become something that scares her.The two classmates who met in Karenin's studio at the beginning, Erika Jacob and Yaniweier Xueluo, and Irene's two reunions and sudden separations were mixed with more and more heavy feelings. The entanglement of grievances and grievances has already left deeper and deeper scars in her heart.

What Irene will never forget is that when she accepted the saint's inheritance from Erica, looked down on Yaniweier as a "savior", and announced the pardon of the other party's sin of blasphemy, the vampire girl That unbelievable look at that time, as if he had lost his soul.

That meant that the fetters that had been built up between the two were irretrievably severed.

A different method, but the same result as the original Erica was obtained.

Therefore, when I suddenly heard the taboo word "farewell", a strong sense of fear invaded my consciousness in an instant.Irene barely thought about it, and ran out of the retreat room under the surprised eyes of the little nun.

Chapter 12 The Only Reason I Like You

The girl waiting outside was wearing a large black robe.

With a fair complexion, a pair of blue eyes, that slender figure and a charming demeanor, there is no doubt that the person who is waiting for Irene is Yingxin.

Seeing Irene's appearance, the elf girl's expression showed obvious joy, but then this joy was replaced by a sad temperament.She bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Master Irene, I'm going back, so I'm here to bid you farewell."

This determination must have been brewing for a long time before it was said when they met.

The words were out of her mouth, as if she had finally let go of something, the elf girl's eyebrows showed a little relief, she stared deeply at Irene, took a step back and said: "In order to thank Lord Irene for taking care of me, I will give you some help in the room." I left a gift, if you like it, don't dislike it..."

Irene stood there at a loss, and it took a long time before she said, "Why did you leave?"

"Although Lord Irene hasn't said it all the time, I can feel it. If I continue to stay with Lord Irene, I will only become a burden to you." As she spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of Yingxin's mouth, "Love Lady Lin is very gentle, and she never said that she wanted to drive me away, but I know that this is not acceptable... Sure enough, only if I say goodbye, will I not embarrass Lady Irene..."

"Wait, I don't think so..." Irene stared blankly at the other party, some kind of inexplicable sadness came to her heart, and unconsciously said something to keep her, "The purpose of your coming to the human world , obviously haven’t achieved it yet? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?”

"The reason why I followed my lord out of the elf enchantment was because I wanted to experience the outside world and to acquire more knowledge beyond the elves. That's exactly what I said at the beginning." Yingxin shook her head lightly, "... ...I lied, it was just an excuse. The real reason is that I want to follow Lord Irene, that's all."

Although the elf girl has not expressed her emotions verbally since her first confession was rejected by Irene, the slightly heavy feelings at this time were still accurately captured by Irene.She couldn't speak out in a daze, and her "nun" personality at this time also made her instinctively want to escape from emotional matters.She lowered her head and held the cross around her neck with one hand, but she didn't know that she was making an "escape" gesture.

Seeing this, Yingxin forced a smile and said: "Master Irene must have some special intentions for practicing here during this time, so I will leave without disturbing you..." After finishing speaking, she suppressed her sadness. Mood, turned his back, and there was no movement behind him at this time.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to take a step—

step.

... Are you still looking forward to something?

two steps.

...It's okay, just treat this as a sweet dream.

Three steps.

...Being treated tenderly all the time, I am obviously very happy, am I not?

Looking up, the overly blue sky in winter seems to have the ability to cleanse the soul, and it makes the sight wet unconsciously.

Just as she was about to walk out the gate, she heard "Please wait" from behind, Yingxin almost thought it was her hallucination.However, the sound of "Firefly Heart" immediately made the elf girl's body tremble, she stopped in a daze, and responded in a low voice: "Master Irene...do you have any orders?"

Accompanied by the sound of small footsteps, Irene has come behind Yingxin.

Yingxin didn't turn around, she closed her eyes, waiting for Irene's opening, she was already ready to refuse the girl to keep her.However, she waited for a long time, but the other party remained silent. During this period, her defenses were gradually defeated.When I finally heard Erin's voice, I heard a question that caught people off guard——

"Why do you like me? I'm obviously not a person worth liking..."

Yingxin's first reaction was that this obviously too cunning human girl, whom she once considered a follower, was mocking herself, and she deliberately played with her emotions even at the last moment.But then, she thought that "Lord Irene" would be unbelievably stupid occasionally, and this kind of question might be something she really wanted to know... Thinking of this, her mood calmed down.

"Master Irene, why did you fall in love with that princess in the first place?"

The person Yingxin was referring to was naturally Sisyana Theresia, who was Erin's current lover.Although the relationship between the two is still very secretive, for people around them, especially those who also like Irene, their intimacy can actually be seen.

Yingxin then asked: "Can Master Irene tell you the real reason for liking someone?"

Erin was speechless for a while, and stood there in a daze.

Intellectually, Irene can cite many reasons for liking Sisyana, such as the princess's beauty, talent, gentleness, etc., but obviously these reasons are a bit far-fetched.There is only one real reason. Sisyana appeared in front of Eileen when she first came to this world, and that's all.

It can't be called love at first sight, but Sisyana's perfect posture at that time did leave an indelible mark on Irene's heart.

Feeling Irene's silence, Yingxin changed her words and said: "I am only 17 years old this year. Because I have read a lot of books, I will be assigned to help take care of the books in the clan. There will be a clansman born, so my age is almost the youngest, and in the eyes of those "brothers and sisters", I am just a 'child', I wonder if Lady Irene has thought of this?"

"I feel that you... are quite mature." Irene said hesitantly.

Ying Xin still turned her back to the girl, and said faintly: "Everyone in the clan will praise me like this, even Her Majesty the Queen, saying that I never play tricks, which is very reassuring. I don't know why I am so precocious, I couldn't gain interest in art fields such as sculpture or music like other tribesmen, and even tailoring was only reluctant to learn in order not to make myself look too different. As I got to know the world, I gradually realized that It is definitely a terrible thing to mature too early in the world of elves, because I will live the same life for the next few hundred years, slowly growing old in almost eternal repetition, exhausting my natural lifespan until Dying... I am very scared, because I have no idea what the meaning of living is. From the books, I learned that human beings are all like me, they are a very precocious race, and a few decades of life can forge To achieve an achievement that is difficult for the elves to achieve in their lifetime, that's why I especially yearn for the world outside the elves, which is changing every moment."

Irene looked at the back of the elf girl: "The meaning of living...have you found it?"

"When Her Majesty the Queen brought Lady Irene to me, I thought I had found it. When Her Majesty the Queen instructed me to be close to Lady Irene, I thought I had found it. After Lady Irene agreed to bring me to the human race When I was in the world, I also thought I found it..." Yingxin said, covering her aching chest with her hand, and confessed for the last time, "When I was feeling scared and wanted to find the answer, Lady Irene just happened to Appeared in front of my eyes, this is the only reason why I like you so much..."

Chapter 13 A date with "Her Royal Highness"?

After pursuing Sisyana and becoming a lover with her, Eileen had never imagined that one day she would take the initiative to ask for a date with another girl.Even though she had determined in her mind that this was just a formal date, she still felt a sense of guilt.

Of course, this guilt has been experienced several times not long ago.

In terms of subjective emotions, Irene didn't want to see this elf girl who was sincerely in love with her leave sadly, so she said "Can you stay with me for a day?"And exactly as she thought, Yingxin's inner world is not strong enough to refuse this long-awaited thing, and even more unable to resist the gesture of Irene's request, she still hesitated and agreed.

Because of Irene's special physical condition, it is not suitable for wandering in the city, so she simply led Yingxin to the outside of the city, and took a walk under the white city wall.

On the other side of the city wall was the surface of the thawing lake. The mirror reflecting colorful glare reflected all the mountains in the distance at their feet.Walking here, the mind seems to be much clearer.Irene showed a look of nostalgia, and said softly: "The city of Bailinburg was actually designed after another city... That city was called Elise, but it has already been destroyed."

Yingxin stared into the distance: "What kind of city is Miss Irene thinking about?"

"That city is made of clean marble. Looking down from the highest point, it's like looking at the 'City in the Sky' I've dreamed about before. Whenever the sun rises or sets, The orange-red glow instantly dyed the whole city, it is a unique scene in the world..." As she spoke, Irene couldn't help showing a bit of melancholy, "It would be great if it could be rebuilt."

"Master Irene's wish will definitely come true." Yingxin said seriously.

"Thank you." Erin replied softly.She didn't explain that this was actually Sisyana's wish. Although Elise City was of great significance to her, it was only to the extent of nostalgia and sadness.

Next, savoring the quiet atmosphere here, without saying a word, I walked along the frozen lake for a long way, and gradually approached the neat bungalows surrounded by fences in front.In Eileen's memory, this place turned out to be a large lakeside grassland, so she couldn't help but stop, staring at the scene in front of her in a daze.

"Lord Irene? What's the matter?" Yingxin asked curiously.

On the outside of the fence, Irene saw a group of soldiers in armor patrolling from a distance, showing some understanding, and said to herself: "Is this... a newly built military camp?"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of arrows piercing through the air suddenly came.

Seeing a few cold lights approaching rapidly in the field of vision, Irene was startled, and quickly grabbed the hand of the elf girl beside her, raising her other hand to prepare for defense.

Hearing only a few "rustles", the incoming arrows pierced deeply into the soil a few meters in front of the two of them.

The thawed dew on the tip of the grass shook vigorously and splashed all over the ground.

Although the other party's archery skills are superb, this is only to convey the meaning of warning, and Irene still has a sullen mood in her heart.She raised her eyes and looked at several knights who were flying not far away, and was surprised to find that they were riding a creature that she had only seen in picture books before.

This creature is brown and red, with a strong body and limbs like a lion, but with the head and wings of an eagle. Irene quickly remembered that this creature was called a "griffin".Although Irene has seen all kinds of monsters over the past year, orcs, elves, vampires and other alien races, and even the legendary demon army, these few fell to the ground. In front of him, the griffon who was glaring at the two of them still made Irene excited.

"The important place of the military camp, idlers are not allowed to approach."

Irene was in a daze, and the warning sound from in front of her interrupted her thoughts.She looked at the people dressed as knights sitting on the griffin, and asked curiously, "How did you make the griffin so obedient?"

The leading knight was obviously taken aback for a moment, and warned in a deep voice: "This is not a place for you naive ladies to play games. If you don't retreat, don't blame me for being rude."

At this time, Irene was wearing the robe of an ordinary nun, and Yingxin was wearing a wide robe in order to cover the ears of the elves, so it was normal for people to be unable to recognize her identity.The tone of the other party's scolding obviously made Yingxin feel a little uneasy, and she asked nervously, "Master Irene?"

However, Irene narrowed her eyes and looked straight at the several knights in front of her.

Perhaps it was because she had been suppressed for too long in the clean monastery. At this time, even the personality of a "nun" could not suppress Irene's mischievous thoughts.Gradually, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "I am the princess who replaces you and came to inspect... Can I borrow your mount?"

The knights froze for a moment, then looked at each other.

So, 10 minutes later, when Irene revealed her identity and successfully "borrowed" a griffin from the knight, and sat on it with Yingxin, the elf girl was obviously still in a state of confusion, her pretty face flushed. It turned red, and asked in a low voice: "Master Irene...is this really okay?"

Irene reached out and tapped the elf girl's head: "Hey, did you make a mistake? I am the immediate superior of these soldiers. Of course I have the right to do such things." Although the usual performance is very weak , but if she is really looked down upon by a girl, she will still feel dissatisfied.

"That's not what I meant!" Yingxin shook her head vigorously, and asked in a low voice, "If the princess finds out about this kind of thing, she will be angry, right?"

"Angry?" Irene buried her head between the elf girl's hair, took a deep breath, and said excitedly, "Don't worry, I'm just being capricious occasionally, Xi Ya will forgive me. I have long wanted to try the feeling of riding a monster to fly into the sky... Are you ready, it is about to take off."

Yingxin made a flustered voice: "Please, please wait!"

At this time, both of them were riding on the back of the griffin, with Yingxin in front and Irene behind.In order to stabilize Yingxin in front of her, Irene and the girl's body were very close, almost close to each other. One of her hands hugged the girl's slender waist, and the other hand was restless. Swim over the opponent's thigh.

The simple-minded Yingxin couldn't understand why the "Master Irene" who was respectful to her just a moment ago turned into an idiot-like existence, completely ignoring the few dedicated griffins not far away. The knight began to frivolously thin his body.

"No, oh, I can't wait."

Although the tone that came from the ear was undoubtedly Erin's, the tone suddenly changed.Yingxin couldn't help thinking of a certain experience of being humiliated by Irene in the elf secret realm, her body trembled, and at the same time a strong fear surged in her heart, she also faintly felt a sense of expectation.

"Lovely Miss Elf, your biggest mistake is that you didn't slip away before Bengong 'wakes up'. It's not Bengong's fault that you've let you go in the trap last time. "

If Yingxin looked back at this time, she would find that the holy cross hanging around Irene's neck had disappeared, and instead, a silver hairpin with the imperial emblem appeared in the girl's flowing hair. Glittering in the winter sun.
