Princess' personal painter

"Sister Xingtong's old friend?" Irene asked suspiciously.

Pursing her lips into a smile, Xingtong stretched out her white jade hand to invite: "My sister met him face-to-face the day before yesterday, come with me."

……

According to common sense, Irene should not agree to Xingtong's proposal.

But this fox girl sister has a natural charming temperament, and Irene happens to be the type who lacks resistance to "female sex", so she ran out with her in such a daft way.

But...she shouldn't be hostile, shouldn't it matter?

When Aileen came back to her senses, Xingtong had already led her into a cave.

Although the fox girl sister beside her cast magic to illuminate the surrounding cave walls, the deep road ahead still made Irene feel doubt and uneasiness.

"Did my sister just think of being wary of me at this time?" Realizing this, Xingtong let out a chuckle like a silver bell, "Don't worry, I've always kept my word and I won't do anything to you."

Irene was taken aback for a moment, and quickly explained: "I, no..."

"Or, what is my sister looking forward to?"

This clearly had a coquettish tone, and Irene panicked in her heart.

Hey, young lady, you are enough...

Fortunately, the cave was not very deep, and the two of them came to an end while talking.

I saw a huge tiger orc lying on the edge of the campfire, as if sleeping.Beside him, another "cat demon" found the two intruders, and immediately its hair stood up, and it lay down on the ground and let out a sharp cry, which woke up the tiger orcs.

It was the Tiger Clan orcs and "cat monsters" who had fought with Erin and his party the day before yesterday.

Xingtong walked forward slowly, looked at the tiger orc who was seriously injured on the ground, looked at him for quite a while, and said lightly: "I never thought that you would fall into this situation, and you were so vulnerable Human beings are defeated, doesn't it feel bad?"

The body of the tiger orcs struggled and yelled at her in the language of the orcs.

"It's ridiculous, from the time your 'emperor' ordered to hunt down my sister, from the time you turned your back on me, I no longer consider myself as your kindred." Xing Tong shook his head and said, "In the final analysis, The ancestors of the fox clan migrated from the east and have nothing to do with your orc clan."

The tiger clan orcs seemed to fall silent, and said something again.

"That's right, I'm here to take your life. Even if you don't need me to do it, you will be searched out by humans soon, but I still need to do this kind of thing with my own hands. Your betrayal at that time caused my parents to die. I was murdered, now it's time to repay the debt." After the judgment was issued, Xingtong took out two short knives from behind and held them in his hands, staring at the other party condescendingly.

A sharp cry suddenly sounded, and a swift figure rushed towards Xingtong.

The bonfire shook suddenly, and the gushing blood immediately covered one side of the cave wall. The petite body of the "cat demon" was seen rolling on the ground, whimpering in pain.

Glancing at the "cat demon" who was about to die with a complicated look, Xingtong sighed: "It's a sad creature to still stick to you at this time..."

The tiger clan orcs stared straight and let out a mournful roar.

"With this kind of thing, your soul is becoming more and more ignorant."

As Xingtong said, the dagger in his hand touched the opponent's heart: "It's a pity that I can't beat you with my own hands, but this is enough..."

In the next moment, she mercilessly ended his life.

It wasn't until she was taken out of the cave by the fox girl that Irene recovered from the shock and asked in a low voice, "Why did you call me for this kind of thing?"

As if what happened just now had never happened, after she put away her weapon, Xingtong resumed the posture of fascinating all sentient beings, took her hand and said with a smile, "That's because I need a witness..."

"witness?"

Xingtong nodded, and directly stated the purpose: "If my sister and I need to survive in human society, what we need most now is to win the trust of your princess."

Irene wanted to ask about Xingtong's original relationship with that tiger orc, but she didn't know how to ask.After a while, I heard Elder Fox Girl whisper softly: "Besides, your eyes are too pure now, even if you go to the battlefield like this, you won't be able to make up your mind to kill the enemy. I'm doing it for you." demonstration."

Eileen was taken aback.

Eh, that...is that so?

Chapter 52 Lawrence's commission

The bloody memory first happened when Irene had just left the unnamed town and went north with Yannis to Dresberg. At that time, she ran into the scene of the murder in a small alley.

Then came the case of Karenin's "Champagne Garden", and the subsequent series of tragic battles when he fled with the Chamber of Commerce, and was almost involved in the massacre in Insterburg - constantly seeing people die around, In the end, there was almost a numbness to killing.

Even though he is currently under the protection of the princess, he has personally participated in several battles.

As far as these experiences are concerned, Irene definitely does not lack the experience of seeing blood, but the fox girl Xingtong still thinks that she has no will to fight, which inevitably makes her feel confused about herself.

I saw Xingtong shook his head, and said: "On the surface, our side is stronger than the other side, but when it comes to the battlefield, the outcome is not determined by pure strength."

"What else?"

"Strategy, formation and other factors... But the most influential thing is the will to fight. The orcs headed by the high priest have already experienced countless battles. When retreating, you will have to fight with your back; while your soldiers are fighting in the mainland, although they have had several small-scale battles with the orcs before, but with the support of the strong among you, they have not suffered a big loss."

After a pause, Xingtong explained with concern: "That is to say, most soldiers only have the consciousness of 'victory' and are not prepared for failure. At that time, the strong may be dragged down by ordinary soldiers."

Irene thought for a while, then asked: "Since Sister Xingtong thinks so, why didn't she bring it up at the meeting last night?"

Xingtong asked back: "What do you think will be the consequences of saying these things in my capacity?"

"I understand." Erin nodded, "I will do what I can."

……

On the eve of the war, the soldiers were recharging their batteries for tomorrow's war, so there was a strange tranquility in the camp, and the day passed away quietly in such an atmosphere.

At dusk, Irene couldn't restrain her inner curiosity, and went to find Luo Luo, the younger sister of the two fox girls, to get in touch with each other.But found that she was lying in Sisyana's arms and sleeping peacefully, her immature face was full of peace, and the blue-haired girl holding her was slightly closing her eyes, showing a focused expression - this warm picture The picture made Erin freeze on the spot.

Realizing that it was Irene, Sisyana smiled and made a booing gesture to her.

Only then did Sisyana put one hand on the girl's shoulder, and the turquoise luster faintly appeared, as if she was using magic to treat Lolo.Even so, Erin still felt a strange emotion in her heart, and exited the tent sullenly.

I really want to be hugged by my sister like that...

Bah, no, no, I really want to hug the cute little fox girl like that!

When I returned to the tent, I found that Eunika was not here, but the dinner had already been distributed.

Erin waited in the tent for a while before Eunika came in from the outside, but she picked up the dinner and walked out without even looking at her.

Erin quickly took her share and caught up with Eunika: "Let me eat with you."

"Whatever you want." Eunika said without looking back.

Eunika's pace was fast, and Irene was a little out of breath after chasing her for a while, and when the maid girl stopped, she almost bumped her head into the opponent's back.

Because of the close proximity, Irene clearly smelled the scent of sweat on the girl's body, and then realized that Eunika had sweated all over before, and this eye-catching maid outfit was soaked in sweat. The skin on the back is faintly exposed, and the color of the underwear tie is clearly visible.

As if sensing Erin's gaze, Unika turned around abruptly.

Erin took a step back in a panic: "I didn't see anything..." But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted her refraining from confessing, and blushed for a while and dared not look at Unica.

Unika didn't get entangled in this matter, and sat down on a rock to start eating dinner. After hesitating for a while, Irene chose to sit next to the maid girl, but deliberately kept a certain distance.

She didn't know how to start a conversation.

During the silence, Irene's attention was attracted by the sound of metal strikes in front of her, and only then did she realize that on the field in front of her, Wenjiesi was fighting with Lawrence with swords.

Compared with Wen Jiesi, this Prince Ruobayashi's martial arts is obviously inferior.

However, Wenjiesi maintained a defensive posture most of the time, and occasionally attacked with spare power, which made the scene look evenly matched.

The two gestured for a while, then Lawrence took the initiative to step aside, shook his head and smiled wryly, "You bastard, you really don't give me a chance, stop fighting!"

Wen Jiesi put away his sword and said: "His Highness's sword skills are already very superb, but he lacks some experience."

"Let me compete with my brother." A voice suddenly interjected.

After the words fell, Irene only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and a slender figure walked into the venue.

It turned out that Unika had already finished eating before Erin didn't notice.

Looking at the younger sister who came up, Wenjiesi frowned and said, "Eunika, you have sparred with me many times just now. I think you should take a good rest..."

Eunika's voice was slightly hoarse, and she said lightly: "It's okay, come again."

After saying that, she took out the dagger from her cuff and launched an offensive.

Eunika, who holds a short weapon, has a light and graceful figure, which is almost the opposite of her brother, and her sword moves are fast and full of aggressiveness.In just a few breaths, the two had dozens of moves to fight.

The violent attack didn't stop, and it didn't take long before the clear sound of panting came from the field.

Unika's situation is indeed a bit abnormal...

Erin's gaze was on the silver-haired girl without blinking, but a male voice came from the side: "Are you worried about her too?"

Irene turned her head and found that Lawrence was standing beside her asking questions, she quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness."

"Eileen Auerbach, I have heard about you from Sister Wang." Lawrence nodded, "I haven't had a chance to apologize to you for yesterday's accident, so let's make up for it now."

With that said, Lawrence put one hand on his chest and bent slightly.

Irene was taken aback for a moment before realizing what the other party was referring to.

She had already adapted to the concept of superiority and inferiority in this world. She never expected that His Highness would apologize to her, and she didn't know how to respond.But Lawrence turned around indifferently, looked at the Unica brothers and sisters who were discussing each other, and recalled: "Unika's talent is outstanding, it should be said that she is much better than her brother, the very young At that time, he relied on the power inherited from the Caroline family to amaze everyone, and the halo on his body was once more dazzling than that of Wang Mei, and he was considered to be the youngest 'sword master' in the history of the kingdom."

Irene had never heard of this kind of thing before. Hearing Lawrence's talk at this time, she couldn't help feeling like getting to know Unica again, and sighed: "So she is so powerful."

Lawrence went on to say: "When I was a child, Eunika had been secretly cultivated by the royal family, so not many people knew about it, and Sister Wang only knew a little bit about it. According to her growth rate, I thought the birth of a female swordsman was just around the corner, but However, Unica has been stuck in a bottleneck for some reason since she was 12 years old, and her martial arts skills have not even advanced but retreated. It has been four years now, and it still looks like this..."

Thinking of Eunika's performance today, Irene asked, "Is it also because of knots?"

"Sister Wang told me that she was able to break through the bottleneck and reach the current level of magic attainment, which has a deep relationship with you." Although Lawrence turned his back to Irene, his tone was very serious, "And, she can Prompting Sister Wang to make her own choice, Miss Irene must have some qualities that ordinary people don't have. If there is an opportunity, can you try to help Eunika to untie the knot, can you?"

Such a solemn commission made Irene a little dazed: "I will try..."

Lawrence nodded, took two steps but remembered another matter, and added with a wry smile: "Besides, with regard to Jacqueline in the future, I probably can only entrust you to take care of her more..."

Entrusting two girls to me all at once... Cough cough, this strange feeling...

"I will work hard!" When Lawrence walked away, Irene quietly raised her fist and said to herself.

Chapter 53 The Long Night Before the Battle

In the middle of the night, Ruolin's heir, Lawrence, ordered the troops to be assembled, and then led [-] soldiers to set off quietly, marching towards the orc base camp whose location had been found.

At this time, the stars were dimmed, which just covered the advance of the troops.

Lawrence, a court magician under his command, and the three throne knights are at the forefront of the team, preparing for possible battles; including Irene, Sisyana's group is in the middle of the team , so that it can be coordinated at any time.

Along the way, the court magician placed faint light spots on both sides of the road to guide the entire team's progress.

Under the instructions of Lawrence in advance, the whole team held their breaths and kept the utmost silence as they advanced, only the slight sound of footsteps stepping across the grass could be heard.
