Princess' personal painter

Eunika's breathing stopped suddenly, and she instinctively raised her leg to kick a small stone.I saw that the stone shot out quickly hit the orc's arm, causing the opponent's attack to deflect a few inches.

The sharp ax almost grazed Irene's body.

A few strands of hair fell to the ground leisurely.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Eunika shouted, "Are you crazy?"

However, Irene turned her head and said softly, "It seems that you still care about my safety... If you don't want me to die here, please work harder and try to defeat the demons in your heart!"

While speaking, the movement here attracted more orcs to surround them.

Anxious Unica strode forward, and when she was about to grab Irene's body, she was slowed down by a magic barrier released by the girl. At this time, Irene, who was among the orcs, was attacked again.In order to rescue Erin, Eunika had no choice but to attack the orcs beside her.

At this time, Erin had already taken the opportunity to distance herself from her.

Just like this, whenever Eunika wanted to catch Irene, the girl would use various means to escape like playing hide-and-seek with her.As more and more orcs surrounded them, the situation of the two became more and more critical.Eunika's expression turned into a smile for a moment, and she said coldly: "It's just unreasonable."

"Is this kind of anger vented on me?" Erin's voice in the confusion seemed a bit ethereal, "But, this level is not enough...you are not really angry yet."

There was only time to grab a piece of fabric, and Eileen pulled away like an elf, and Eunika couldn't help sarcastically saying: "Since you want to die so much, I will help you."

"Speaking like that, in fact, you won't be able to bear it." I only heard Eileen say with a light smile.

In Eunika's sight, the delicate girl is like a small boat in a stormy sea, which may sink at any time.Under the girl's deliberate resistance, it became more and more difficult for her to rescue her from the surrounding orcs. The only feasible way was to kill as many orcs as possible.

Is this your purpose?

Even in anger, Eunika is very clear about Erin's purpose.After analyzing the current situation, Eunika's body couldn't help shaking.

Why...you forced me to this point?

Chapter 67 Eunika's Awakening and Reunion

It's not that the former Eunika didn't try to break through the demons in the past.

However, after several times of performing special tasks but performing poorly, Eunika finally chose to stay at the princess's side and become Sisyana's full-time maid—that is, let herself hide in the safe haven, It's her own choice.

Whether it was the "adventure" with Sisyana last time, or this time accepting the prime minister's entrustment to come to the south with the princess to assist Lawrence in solving the orc matter, Eunika always had the same thing in her heart. There is a strong sense of anxiety.

Right now, the anxiety was overwhelming her.

However, another emotion called "fear" gradually occupied her mind.

Unica, who is emotionally indifferent and indifferent to most things, has not experienced the feeling of "loss" for a long time.Even she herself didn't know, since when, this unpredictable girl has occupied a very important weight in her heart.

Was it when she rescued him?Or earlier?

In any case, Eunika is aware of the fact that if Irene unfortunately dies at the hands of the orcs, she will never have the chance to repay her life-saving grace.

Thinking of this, a deep bewilderment appeared in Unika's reddish eyes.

No, it's not that simple... It seems that the lost things are much more than imagined?

The girl's smirk just now couldn't help reappearing in her mind, and Eunika noticed that from that moment on, Irene seemed to have absolute control over the situation...Why?

For Eunika, who is accustomed to rational thinking, this kind of thing is completely incomprehensible.

Is it out of absolute trust in me?

...Or again, even if you are in death, you still want to mock me viciously?

Feeling very irritable for a while, Eunika kicked the orcs who rushed forward fiercely, and continued to chase Irene's figure in the gap between the orcs.

The girl was attacked by two orcs and had to use magic to protect herself, but because she couldn't dodge in time, a light bloodstain appeared on her beautiful side face.

Even so embarrassed, the girl still had a confident smile on her face.

... Is she enjoying the process?

how could it be possible!

If you die at this point, you really have nothing!When we met in Insterburg, she really tried her best to survive, how could she die here meaninglessly?

Unika, who still couldn't figure it out, simply gave up thinking.

In the chaotic field of vision, she saw a drop of blood slipping from the girl's cheek, dripping gently on the ground, and she seemed to hear the sound of it falling to the ground clearly.

That's blood!

For some reason, the long-lost sense of fear came like a tide.

The drop of blood was infinitely magnified in the field of vision, and in a daze, Eunika returned to the nightmare she had when she was a child - watching the killing happen, people fell in a pool of blood, but she did nothing.

Me, what can I do?

Sorry, I really can't do anything...

Suddenly, her mind went blank, and Eunika had never thought that her emotions were so fragile. She covered her cheeks with her hands, knelt down helplessly and began to cry.

Erin, Sia... sorry...

I……

……

When reaching the extreme, a certain evil fruit was finally catalyzed.

However, it was probably due to some kind of self-protection mechanism, and she couldn't remember what happened after that.

……

I don't know how long it took.

What woke Unika was the slight sound of dripping water.

Then she realized she was sitting on the ground in a humiliating knee-hugging position.

Blinking her eyes laboriously, she raised her head, and saw a patch of "blood" in front of her.

This scene was exactly the same as in her childhood memory, but before her stagnant consciousness had time to digest the fear, the girl at the end of the pool of blood came into view.

Compatible with the sea of ​​blood under her feet, the girl's skirt was also stained with blood.

I saw Irene standing there blankly, and it took a long time to recover from the shock.Then, with fresh blood dripping from the soles of her feet, she walked up to Unika, knelt down and reached out to caress Unika's cheek.

The moist touch made Eunika's body tremble, and she was about to experience fear, but she heard the girl's gentle voice coming from her ears: "If you want to cry, you can cry as much as you want."

What did she say... am I crying?

It took Unika some time to understand the girl's words.

As Eileen said, tears of disappointment were pouring out of her eyes, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances and pains—and this was an emotion she hadn't felt for a long time.

Everything seems to be a lifetime away.

"Sorry, I went too far."

While wiping Eunika's tears, Irene apologized earnestly: "I just wanted you to muster up the courage to fight, but I didn't expect you to do this." As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance behind her The terrifying scene of the bloody sea of ​​stumps made his expression a bit complicated.

What happened just now is self-evident.

Eunika was still in a daze, but Erin's words made her suddenly realize a certain fact, and asked in a murmur, "You mean, I killed those orcs?"

Irene was startled when she heard the words, and found that Unika's helpless expression was so real, she felt a little heartbroken for a moment, and didn't know how to answer.

Am I doing something wrong?

Suddenly, a slight sigh came from nearby: "If this is a wrong step, let me bear it too, after all, I also made the same choice as Irene..."

The gentle voice sounds so familiar.

With a jump in her heart, Eunika suddenly raised her head and called out in disbelief, "Xia?"

The sea-blue long hair is elegant and refreshing, and a beautiful girl is standing not far away, with a sad smile on her face, she said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't stop this from happening just now, because I really want to know, How far can Unika in the desperate situation go?"

Sisyana's appearance quietly seemed to dissolve all of Unika's fear and pain. Her eyes stayed on the girl for a long time, and she whispered, "Xia, so you have always been..."

"Will you blame me?" Sisyana asked.

Clenching her fist unconsciously, Eunika bit her lip: "No!"

"So, can you stand up now?" Sisyana sighed softly with tears in her eyes, "Eunika, you know, even I can't protect you forever You have to learn to rely on yourself... That's why I choose to agree with Irene's approach..."

"I know." Eunika whispered.

"Now, the three of us are all the same... all have the blood of the enemy on our hands."

With a faintly sad tone, Sisyana walked slowly while speaking, stretched out two hands to hold Irene and Unika respectively, and said softly: "I know you are in pain now...but our battle It's not over yet, the following is the end of all this... My closest partner, are you willing to fight with me to the end?"

Chapter 68 The Artifact Buried Underground

After Eunika's spirit recovered, Sisyana checked the physical condition of the two of them again, gave them a little treatment, and the three of them continued to go underground.

During this period, Eunika quietly glared at Irene beside her, and asked, "You have already discovered that Xi Ya is nearby, so you made such a risky move?"

At this time, Eileen was feeling guilty, and answered in a low voice: "Yes."

"The acting is really good." Eunika sneered.

Irene was stunned for a moment, and a bad feeling came to her heart: "You misunderstood, because I think it is the best time to help you overcome your inner demons, so..."

"Have you enjoyed watching my jokes?" Eunika interrupted her.

Erin shook her head quickly: "No, I just..."

Just now, the crying process was seen by the people who cared the most. Even though Eunika knew that the girl's behavior was out of kindness, she still became angry from embarrassment. Before the girl could finish speaking, she asked in a cold voice. Said: "...Just what? What qualifications do you have to manage my affairs?"

The conversation between the two was naturally heard by Sisyana in front of her. She paused slightly and called out in displeasure, "Eunika."

Eunika was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that her accusation was unreasonable, she bit her lip and stopped speaking.

But I heard the girl next to me whisper: "Sorry, I didn't know that things would turn out like that."

The girl who shocked Irene just now, fell into grief and cried helplessly, and slaughtered the enemy with the most desolate gesture, seemed to be just a flash in the pan.When Eunika recovered, she returned to the appearance of protecting herself with a cold exterior—was it right to uncover the scars like before and let her face the cruel reality?

Erin didn't know.

For Unika, a certain indescribable anxiety was growing because of this incident.

For the first time, Eunika realized so clearly that this strange girl beside her would eventually intervene in her life and completely change the trajectory of her life.

What interrupted her thoughts was Sisyana's speech in front of her.

"This area has a suitable climate and can be said to be a natural harbor, but it has always been a sparsely populated area in the history of the kingdom. Do you know why?"
