Princess' personal painter

Sisyana said lightly: "I'm sorry, I refuse."

The abrupt answer stunned the confident Guidinis for quite a while before he asked unwillingly, "Are you determined to protect the prisoner I'm chasing?"

Sisyana stared at Guidinnis quietly, with disappointment gradually showing in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "What I can't understand is why you have been obsessed with hunting down Miss Irene until now... ...Is it really so important to catch her to save your face?"

Guidinis was stunned for quite a while: "What does this mean?"

"His Royal Highness, don't you understand?" After standing for a long time dragging her overdrawn body, Sisyana's face was already pale, and her physical strength could barely support her standing.However, deeper than physical exhaustion, there is a sense of boredom deep in the soul.

At this moment, Sisyana finally planned to end this meaningless negotiation, and whispered:

"Can't you really feel it? Not long ago, hundreds of thousands of souls died in the ruthless massacre in this Inster city, and the murderer was the prince of your country; since you have already When you came here, why didn’t you stop him, because this matter is irrelevant to you? Even now, I don’t know if the tragedy in the city is still happening. Now that the leader of the mob has left, if you If your conscience is still there, why didn't you go to the city to clean up the mess? I thought that you would only delay here because you cared about my arrival. It turned out not to be that all your thoughts were on catching your prisoner and saving you On your face... I want to know, do you really have the responsibility to be the heir to your kingdom?"

While speaking, I felt the wind blowing softly whimpering in my ears, and the towering tree on the high slope made a rustling sound of weeping. The clear but dusk sky gradually deepened, and the atmosphere was bleak but solemn, as if In silent mourning the hundreds of thousands of residents who lost their lives on this day in Insterburg.

Immersed in sadness for a while, Sisyana's eyes were also stained with sad tears. She sighed faintly: "Your Highness, I can't understand your inaction. Just as you may not be able to understand, Why do I care so much about this matter? Even if the differences between us are really inevitable, one thing I believe is absolutely certain, that is, the mission I carry on me—— As a daughter of the Wakabayashi royal family, I am willing to marry you in a foreign country. I have always believed in 'peace'... But here, I saw the opposite, and... Your indifference and indifference, lack of sympathy and compassion when it comes to this kind of thing."

Guidinis was speechless for a moment, and his face became more and more gloomy following Sisyana's words.

The refreshing wind blew the girl's long azure blue hair, tears were shining in her eyes, she said with a sincere apology, and gently saluted: "So... sorry, this time, I am really I really regretted it! Please give me some time to think about it... I, regret the marriage."

Chapter 70 A Bet You Can't Refuse

Qingyue calendar three hundred and one year, the winter solstice.

Starting from this day, a more violent cold current swept in from the plateau to the east of the mainland, and in the next half month, it almost froze most of the land area in the northeast of the mainland.

It was also on this day that two events that had a profound impact on the situation on the mainland happened at the same time in the Earl of Inster between Anruel and Povis—

During sectarian disputes, the three thousand Sislin followers who went to Insterburg to support them were brutally massacred by Prince Charles of Anruel.Afterwards, the murderer who ordered the massacre of 10,000+ people indiscriminately was only "accounted for" by the Anruel royal family, and the Holy See kept silent about his actions.

This incident completely ignited the anger of the Sislinists. Under the advocacy of some radical believers, the sect ended its long-term low-key behavior and officially launched a religious resistance movement.Compared with the strict teachings of the holy religion, the Sislin sect advocates tolerance and affirms human nature, which is easier to be accepted by the public.Therefore, in just a few years, the Sislin sect and its various branches rapidly expanded their power on the mainland, and the Holy See, who was uneasy about this, finally decided to deal with Bishop Vikoff, who was one of the "Top Ten". The Xislin Diocese launched a crusade, which officially opened the prelude to the religious war.

The second one is that Ruolin's little princess Sisyana Theresia unilaterally proposed to dissolve her engagement with Anruel's Guidinis Ludhivi, which broke the already weak alliance wishes of the two countries.Prompted by a series of erroneous events, the alliance between the two most powerful countries in the old holy empire failed to be reached after all, which allowed the national power in the central region to maintain a balance. Countries have loosened the tight strings.

In the long run, the impact of this incident is even more far-reaching than the previous one.However, many of the causes and effects of the incident have not yet surfaced. From the perspective of others, this incident is more like the chivalrous Princess Ruobayashi who was capricious after witnessing the tragedy in Insterburg. Just lift.

Perhaps, only Sisyana knows that the decision to renege on the marriage includes her careful consideration in many aspects, and also includes what she has gained during the journey of several months, not only for herself, but also for the world. The perception... It was this rare experience and perception that made her magic power have an essential leap in a few months.

During the journey, gradually changed from the role protected by Eunika and Wenjiesi to a person who can truly stand alone, and the title of "Saint of Blue" conferred by the Kingdom of Bovis, although in terms of position It was quite embarrassing, but it was indeed a recognition of her.

As for Irene who met on the way, of course it was also an important factor that prompted her to make a decision.However, if I hadn't met her or communicated with her, would I still have made this decision?How much weight did her existence play in this decision?

I do not know……

Thinking of this, Sisyana couldn't help turning around, and looked at the mysterious girl, who was looking over gratefully, with tears shining in her eyes, with a look of knowing that she was safe. He was so happy that he wanted to cry, but he was biting his lip and holding back, which was quite pitiful.

However, Guidinis Ludhivi on the other side obviously couldn't accept this fact. After quite a while, he asked angrily: "Did I hear you right? In order to protect that prisoner, you will not hesitate to fight with him." I regret the marriage?"

"I've made it very clear." Sisyana shook her head and said lightly, "There is only one person who made me make this decision...that is you, Your Royal Highness. If you still want to promote the relationship between us If you want to marry, you can continue to propose it through diplomatic letters, maybe next time, you can find a suitable reason to make me change my opinion of you. "

This kind of invisible ridicule made Guidinis' face turn blue and then pale. He looked at Sisyana's expression full of determination, and couldn't find any reason to refute for a while.

The dusk was getting deeper and deeper, and Guidinis' face gradually became darker and darker as the sky darkened.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Guidinis finally accepted the fact that the marriage was repented by the person he liked.After his face was cloudy and uncertain, a signature smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "Very well, please hand over the fugitives from our country, so that I can let you go!"

"Since our marriage ceases to exist, it means the alliance is broken. We are no longer on the same side." The blue-haired, blue-eyed girl shook her head and replied with a diplomatic smile. "The enemy of your country may be our ally. I can't think of any reason to hand her over to you!"

"Don't forget, who is in the hands of the current situation!" Guidinis' tone was full of threats.

Indeed, due to the release of the forbidden spell just now, Sisyana's mental strength was overdrawn, and now she has no fighting power. Only Wenjiesi and Eunika are almost completely unable to fight against the more than 100 subordinates of Guidinis , not to mention that there is also a magic swordsman who looks quite powerful.

If Guidinis is interested, he can completely wipe out the few people here.

However, Sisyana was obviously not worried about such things at all, but asked lightly: "What do you mean, do you plan to use force against me? If your Excellency insists on humiliating Princess Ruolin, does this mean that your country Are you ready for war?"

After being silent for a while, Guidinnis suddenly let out a nervous "hahaha" laugh, but he quickly stopped laughing, took a deep look at Sisyana and Irene, and said, "As expected of 'Qing' Holy Maiden, thank you so much for letting me see the consequences of underestimating women... You should be thankful that I am not a lunatic like my uncle, so I won't do anything to you here... However, I know you are still here Think about something else!"

I saw Guidinnis took off the gloves on his hands, looked at Sisyana who was frowning silently, and said to her coldly: "I know you still care about the lives of those ants in the city, if you leave like this , you must have a bad conscience. In that case, how about we make a bet?"

Having been punctured at the bottom of her heart, Sisyana narrowed her eyes for a moment: "How to bet?"

Guidinis pointed to Wentiers next to her, and said to her: "The knight beside the princess must also have good martial arts... Let me compete with him! No matter whether you win or lose, you can Leave on your own, and I will follow your ideas to help the residents of the city. However, if I win, Miss Irene Auerbach must be handed over to me, how about it?"

Sisyana was taken aback for a moment, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Irene, only to see that the girl's expression suddenly became quite pale.

Guidinis showed a sneering expression, and continued to force her: "Holy and innocent princess, if you want to save more people, then, are you willing to add enough weight to the bet?" Said Come on, Guidinis threw the white glove on the ground and issued an invitation to a duel.

Obviously, this was a bet she couldn't refuse.

Chapter 71 Closing and restarting

Facing Guidinis' bet, Sisyana fell silent for a moment.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dusk that sank to the horizon dragged long and narrow shadows on the ground.The princess who came from afar glanced forward, and saw the more than 100 subordinates behind Guidinis staring at this side, which fully demonstrated the weakness of her own side in the comparison.

The conditions offered by Guidinis were quite superior, and there was almost no room for rejection, but she still hesitated—not because she lacked confidence in Wentiers, but because she was not used to betting others on the balance of bets, especially The girl who had only promised to protect not so long ago.

And the one who broke the silence was Irene who was the person involved. Seeing that her face had regained her composure, she nodded to Sisyana and said, "Sister, agree to this bet, I'm fine."

Sisyana turned to Erin, her expression complicated and inexplicable for a while, but she remained silent.

It was the tiredness and uneasiness that could not be concealed on the princess's face, which made Irene feel a little distressed, and she said softly: "It is my luck to be rescued, but there are more people in the city who are also here. Waiting for your salvation... This is your belief, and it is also something I must undertake, and of course I have no complaints."

Sisyana sighed slightly in her heart, but she didn't say anything, but turned to Guidinis again, and said solemnly: "Okay, I promise you."

Both sides of the duel, Anruel's heir, Guidinis Ludhivi, and the knight beside the princess, Windies Caroline, came to the central field, and after each swore the oath of the bet, they drew out their swords from each other— Thus, this duel related to whether Irene can escape from birth officially began.

Guidinis was the first to attack. He sprinted directly in front of Wenjiesi, and the wide-edged sword in his hand swung out sideways, slashing an imposing sweep towards the opponent.

The strong wind stirred up a gust of wind and sand in the field, causing Eileen to squint her eyes subconsciously. She felt a suspension in her heart and quietly clenched her fists.

Hearing the "bang" when the blades met, Wenjiesi held the one-handed sword and took the opponent's attack steadily.Of course, the opponent's offensive will not stop there. Guidinis's wide-edged sword quickly passed around Wenjiesi. Avoiding it, only when it is absolutely necessary, will the sword be used for defense.

This duel must be won without any mistakes, and at the same time, the heir of Anruel must be avoided. For this reason, Wenjiesi is using a defensive posture to confirm the opponent's strength.

And Guidinis seemed to know what he was thinking, and launched an attack without any scruples.There were even obvious flaws a few times, exposing the vital parts to the opponent, and I also seemed unconscious, I don't know if I was selling the flaws unintentionally or on purpose.

Between the dazzling offense and defense, Guidinnis shouted loudly, and the broad blade in his hand changed the direction of the attack, pointing at Wenjiesi's foot.At the same time, his messy attack style became more violent, and the substantial sword glow loomed along with his attack.

Wenjiesi's expression froze, this is the "sword skill" only possessed by high-ranking warriors.

The raised sand and stones almost covered the two figures in the duel, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong was heard all the time. Unlike Guidinis' wide-open and wide-open moves, Windies held a nimble knight sword and defended himself entirely in a defensive manner. , cautiously received all the opponent's sword moves.

All the fierce offensives were taken over, and Guidinis' momentum was exhausted for a while, and he planned to retreat and regroup.At this time, Wenjiesi, who had already guessed the strength of His Highness, keenly saw through this point, and took advantage of the fleeting opportunity to launch a counterattack.

If it was three months ago, Wenjiesi would have to spend some effort to defeat Guidinis.

Now, just one trick is enough.

The knight's sword, which symbolizes protection and justice, was firmly attached to the wide-edged sword in Wenjiesi's hand, and when he pressed down, it disrupted Guidinis's retreat, making him have to adjust his pace to resist the sword's upward movement. The strength to come.Wenjiesi caught up with one step, easily opened the opponent's defense, and the knight's sword pointed at Guidinis' chest.

Under the suppression of skill and strength, this seemingly light sword is unavoidable.

Seeing that Guidinis was about to fall, there was a hint of cruelty in the eyes of His Royal Highness.

Wenjiesi's face changed, and he saw an abnormal black-purple object in the corner of his eye, which shot towards him rapidly.Right now, although his sword moves had some power left, the speed of the unknown hidden weapon was beyond his imagination, and it was too late to return to defense.

The flash of blood pierced the drowsy evening. Among the two separated under the canopy, Wentiers was seen standing staggeringly with his hands on his shoulders, seemingly seriously injured, while Guidi Ness let out a laugh of pleasure that sounded so harsh.

In the silence, Irene couldn't help feeling a sense of fate, and closed her eyes resignedly.

"You lost." It was Wenjiesi who said this.

Guidinis's laughter stopped abruptly, and a chill hit him. He lowered his head in a daze, only to realize that the clothes on his body had been twisted into shreds and were peeling off in pieces in the wind.On the gradually exposed chest, he saw a shallow bloodstain suddenly appearing at the position of the heart.

If the wound had been two inches deeper, he would have been dead.

Neither the expensive body protection materials nor the life-saving props hidden on his body could defend against the power of that sword just now.Guidinis looked up at the knight who was still standing there, as if he was silently despising him, and realized that the hidden weapon made by a top alchemist just now and used only once could not be given to him. cause fatal injury.

Guidinis's face darkened, but he didn't want to look this way any more, he turned around without saying anything, and walked into the city.

Nearly a hundred people under his command looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, and then followed behind him and retreated together.

Not long after, in the vast field outside the city of Insterburg, there were only four of our own people left.

Eunika stepped forward to support Wenjiesi who was walking back precariously, checked his injury, and found that it was not serious, so she was a little relieved.

Facing the soft evening breeze, Eileen, who has not yet recovered, feels as if she has passed away.

Is this the end?

A warm touch came from her hand, she turned her head and found the blue-haired and blue-eyed princess holding her hand, and said softly: "It's safe now, will you stay by my side in the future?"

There are so many emotions, it is difficult to express them for a while.

Eileen nodded, and responded softly: "Yes."

Miss Makinama's "First Encounter"

The southern border of Insterburg.

On the way to escape, she was hunted down by a person holding a bloody sword. During a short rest, she dreamed of the scene when she first met that girl——

Standing at the door, thinking about the mission given to her by her brother, and at the same time reminding herself that she must not lose face to the Jacobs family, Erica took a deep breath and walked slowly into the private studio.

The reputation of Theo Lessiter was so widely circulated among the noble ladies that even Erica could not help but dream about this talented young man, but when she approached the room, it was the first thing that attracted her The one who paid attention was not the young artist who was painting, but a girl with chestnut hair sitting facing the door.

The pair of pure eyes followed her into the room, and looked at her without blinking. The eyes showed surprise and curiosity. Erica and her looked at each other for a moment, and the girl realized her impoliteness. Quietly lowered his head, not daring to look over for a while.

The girl's timid appearance made Erica feel a long-lost superiority—that was the age she just remembered when she was a child, and when she played with girls of the same age, she felt a certain invisible superiority.

Of course, the current Erica has no pride in her status.After saying hello to Teacher Laceite, she went straight to the girl and said hello, "Hello, my name is Erica Jacobs. It's my first time meeting you. Nice to meet you!"

The attitude is friendly and the tone is soft.

But in fact, every time she deals with civilians, she always has the same attitude.No matter how poor her family is, she always has the pride of a noble lady, and when she is forced to get close to others, it is more like a kind of "charity", in a direct way, using the most perfect young lady's Demeanor, condescending to break the defenses of others, is invincible.

But this time, Erica watched the girl quietly, and saw that there was a lot of cuteness in her delicate face, but her clothes were quite simple, so she should be just the daughter of a wealthy family.For this reason, Erica couldn't help but imagine that she would raise her head later and answer the question submissively.

However, the person who answered Erica was not the girl, but a figure walking from the side. The plain tone was quite rude: "Irene Auerbach, that's her name."

Erica looked up at the man.

Blue-gray short hair, delicate face, too fair skin and lifeless gray pupils - she realized that the girl in front of her was the target of her observation "Mia Stefan", and she was on guard for a moment The highest value is mentioned.

It seems that this Mia Stefan is quite a difficult person, as rumored.

It is said that many aristocrats and rich people have taken a fancy to her beauty and rich property, and pursued her, but they all failed after being touched by a bad nose. Even the famous playboy who has been harassing Erica, Yue Rick has been thwarted by her hands.In this regard, Erica has developed a subtle affection for her, but she can't forget what her brother Lucas said - she may be a very dangerous person!

Mia glanced at this side, and said lightly: "Irene probably saw such a beautiful person as you, and she hasn't returned to God all of a sudden!"
