"Then, why am I called the descendant of the God of War?"
After hearing Violet's question, the priest replied.
"Because the blood of the king flows in your body. It is the blood of the god of war who fought for freedom and won the ultimate glory!"
"They used the price of death in battle and the dedication of their lives to resist the aggression of the war angels, interpreting what belongs to them and pursuing the glory of a lifetime!"
When the priest said this, his expression was already so excited that it almost twisted. On the other hand, Violet, these words did not bring her any good impression, but instead had a deep sense of discomfort.
Following Adele for so many years, and fighting for so many years, Violet has seen too many tragedies, too many lives disappeared in an instant in the artillery fire, and she has also seen Adele trying to save a person's life, And the day and night surgery, I didn't even have time to eat, so I could only find time to drink a bottle of glucose.But the man in front of him described the thing that Aidier pays most attention to, the existence of belief, as the interpretation of glory through death.
"Glory, why do you have to sacrifice your life?"
"What do you take your life for?"
The priest obviously did not expect Violet to ask such a question, because everyone who heard this history was excited and felt honored and proud for the two kings who died for their country and thousands of soldiers, and Violet Especially, this descendant of the king's blood is completely contrary to the beliefs of the past. This is absolutely unforgivable!
"NO!!! How can you say that!!!"
"You are a demigod!!! The demigod of the god of war!!!!!! You should be proud to die in battle!!! You are the same as your grandmother, Queen Sophia!!!!"
Violet didn't speak, but quietly looked at the man who was crazy for the so-called belief in front of her. She didn't have any interest in her past, and her birth and childbearing were weighed against each other, and her talent was the most important thing.Bloodline doesn't matter to Violet, no matter what she was in the past, now she wants to pursue the person who led her to grow up, not those who gave birth to her.
And the belief of the person who led her to grow is her belief.
The conversation broke up badly this time, and Violet still didn't eat the delicious fish and shrimp on the table, even though their cooking techniques were sophisticated enough to rival the royal family.
After the priest and the nun left, Violet felt that there was no need for her to stay here any longer. There were too few records about the angels, and Violet had lost patience, but perhaps thinking about it, she didn’t understand their sad past. , maybe it’s also a good thing, as long as you cherish the present person and live your life in peace, isn’t it pretty good...
But at this moment, Violet is caught in a dilemma again. After the angel falls in love with someone, she will lose her eternal lifespan, and she will live and die with the person who loves her. If she gets old and dies, So will Etil...
Violet, who understood Eddie's thoughts, had a kind of self-doubt. If she fell in love with herself, she would die, so would it be better for her to give up her... After all, she had given up on her for her own happiness. If she was her own, then it would be me now......
Violet thought for a while, and finally denied her own thoughts. Angels are doomed to fall in love with someone. Compared to eternal loneliness, they choose to spend their lives with the one they love. Even if they leave, sooner or later there will be another If a person loves her, then it is necessary to love each other anyway, why can't this person be herself.
Now Violet just feels a kind of honor, a kind of honor to be blessed by an angel, and the sentence that Eddie said before Chen went to bed, I am proud of you, Violet has always remembered it in her heart.She seems to have a better understanding of Etil.
"Let's go see that girl first..."
Thinking in her heart, Violet walked out of the room. At this moment, a nun was standing at the door, as if monitoring her every move. Violet had spotted her a long time ago, so she came out time asked.
"Excuse me, what are you doing here?"
"Protect the safety of the demigod."
It is said to be protection, but it is actually surveillance. The feeling of being under house arrest made Violet very uncomfortable, so she wanted to skip the nun and leave here to find Lacus. She wanted to know what was going on here, why put She is connected with the demigod, why should demigod be imprisoned.
"I don't need protection."
"No, Your Highness the Great Demigod, you cannot leave now."
"Please don't stop me."
Violet's eyes gradually became indifferent. They were eyes that had experienced too many life and death battles. In the past, on the battlefield, human life was like a rabbit to her.There was no viciousness or viciousness in those eyes, but a kind of disregard for life.
Seeing this look, the nun's legs were so frightened that she almost sat on the ground with a thud. Violet ignored her and walked straight to the room where Lux was.
"Probably in this direction."
Every time she arrives at a new place, it is Violet's long-term habit to investigate the terrain. Whether it is the escape route to deal with a sudden disaster, or the general distribution of rooms, where is suitable for detour, where is suitable for guerrilla attack, and where is suitable for escape, she She kept them all quietly in her heart, and she also roughly knew the room where Lacus was.
Passing a marble fountain in the garden, Violet looked around. The statue of Venus, the goddess of beauty, stood quietly in the center of the pool, and the sweet spring flowed at the feet of the statue, just like the goddess of beauty dancing on the water. , surrounded by beautiful flowers, because this is a closed greenhouse, even in this late autumn, the flowers did not wither, but rushed to open.Because of the existence of the fountain here, it will not be stuffy here, but full of refreshing floral fragrance and comfortable cool breath.
The place where Lux is located is the room behind the statue of Venus, but there are no nuns standing at the door of her room. Those people seem to never worry about her escaping, or think that she will never escape. .
"Miss Lacus, may I come in?"
Violet standing in front of the door knocked lightly, but she didn't get any response, she must have been taken somewhere, this is the result of Violet subconsciously telling her.
Walking in this huge birdcage building, Violet felt the breath of strangers around her. Having experienced war, she was extremely sensitive to the anger of living people, especially when she was investigating unknown places. Saved her life again.
"At this."
As the aura of strangers gradually increased, Violet came to a place like a sanctuary. At this time, there were countless congregants and nuns kneeling under the sanctuary, and Lux was standing under the cross in the middle, It seems that some kind of ceremony is going on.
Utopia
"Praise God, praise grace."
"Praise the Gospel that came from the gods, the messenger of the gods, the great demigod."
"May the god of beauty bring blessings to the world, and let love and beauty grace the earth."
Violet stood quietly outside the door, watching the ceremony inside. It looked like a pilgrimage, but more like a prayer.
No...maybe begging a little more.
Violet has seen many of the three major denominations of Christianity, Catholicism, Orthodox and Protestantism. Their pursuit of faith is not as crazy and extreme as theirs. Everyone kneels in front of Lacus and regards her as the one who came to the world Messenger of God, worship her.
"Does she like this feeling..."
Violet knows that everyone has their own way of life. If Lux likes to live in this gorgeous cage under house arrest, with rich clothes and fine food every day, being worshiped by others, but losing her freedom , then she will leave quietly by herself.
Looking in, Violet found that Lacus's expression didn't show the joy of being respected or arrogance. For some reason, Violet saw an indescribable emotion in the girl's eyes. strangeness.
She couldn't see what the other party was thinking.
"At least I was involuntarily imprisoned here...if this girl was taken from there too..."
"Maybe I can try to save her..."
After the pilgrimage was over, Lacus was taken to the place where she was under house arrest, while the other nuns had been searching for Violet. No one knew where she was, at least they would not know that she was hiding in the place where Lacus was under house arrest. in the room.
Even under house arrest, the nuns respected demigods very much, and it was absolutely impossible to enter her room without permission, and Violet took advantage of this.
"Miss Lacus Sibila, we meet again."
Violet's voice came from the dark, which startled Lacus. After all, she was only a 14-year-old child. She was so scared that she backed away again and again, almost sitting on the grilled pork chops on the dining table.Violet stretched out her hand to her, and when she staggered to get up while grabbing that strong hand, she accidentally knocked over the drink on the table, spilling it all over her skirt.
Although she is a very beautiful and clean girl, she gives people the impression that she is a bit reckless. It is difficult to define the standard for a girl. At least Violet was already an elite of the special forces when she was 14 years old. A soldier, but the girl in front of her seemed a little clumsy and not very smart.
"......"
Violet squatted down elegantly, holding a handkerchief and slowly wiping the stains on Lacus's skirt. The girl looked at Violet, and there was no timidity in her eyes anymore, but she relaxed, maybe it's been too long. I have seen children who are under house arrest like myself, and this sense of belonging to find the same kind has a strong influence on Lux's thoughts.
"I want to know why they imprisoned you here, what their purpose is, and..."
Violet said solemnly.
"Are you kidnapped by them from your parents? Is someone outside looking for you?"
Violet's voice was very low, but Lux didn't care about these details, and said the first sentence loudly.
"I'm... um...!"
Before the words came out of her mouth, Violet quickly covered her mouth. Violet put her index finger between her lips and made a booing gesture.This place was already terrifyingly quiet, except for the sound of running water in the clear spring, there was no sound, so if she spoke loudly, it was likely to attract the people who were watching her.
After a while, Violet let go of the hand covering Lax, and the free girl breathed heavily, and said to Violet in a voice lower than that of a mosquito.
"I was picked up by them."
Lux quietly led Violet to her bed, hid her in the curtain there, and whispered to her.
"Run away, get out of here, or you will die."
Hearing this, Violet immediately became vigilant, but Lux patted her on the head, clumsily trying to comfort her, and signaled that she was safe now.
"The church here believes in gods and is divided into two major sects, but they have one thing they believe in in common, that is, demigods."
"They will look for children who are very similar to the gods recorded in the book to complete their extreme beliefs."
"I was picked up by them."
Lacus continued.
"The war took away my parents, and I jumped into the icy river to escape the soldiers' chasing and interception. In this way, I was picked up by the church, and they kept me here for almost five years. "
"I am worshiped by them every day, just like other children who are called demigods."
It seems that she regards herself as the master, and Violet is a guest. After all, this is Lux's room. The girl ran to her dining table and brought Violet a cup of tea. Seems a little impolite there.
After receiving the steaming tea, Violet still didn't drink it, she just wanted to continue listening to the truth of the existence here.
"The leader, priest, and believers here believe that demigods can bring people's beliefs and wishes to the true God of heaven, Allah, so..."
"When the demigods reach adulthood, the people here will kill the demigods. They believe that only in this way can the demigods get rid of their mortal bodies, return to the God Realm, and tell the true God what they have worshiped and prayed for all these years. Come and listen. This is the truth of what exists here."
"When I came here, there were five demigods here. We became friends and lived happily in this artificially created utopian world without war. We knew each other and depended on each other, but in the end...all of them died Now, it's just me."
Speaking of this, Lux's expression was meaningful, she looked at Violet, and said sincerely.
"I can't adapt to the outside world anymore, I've had enough of the brutal war, so I can only stay here, and I would like to stay here, but you are different."
"You have wings of freedom spread out on your body. You shouldn't stay here and be imprisoned by them until you die."
"So, Miss Violet, run away, take advantage of the present!!!"
outside world
"What about you?"
Violet asked.
"I......"
Lacus raised her head, her lavender eyes were full of disappointment and confusion about this world, as if the years had brought too much injustice and blow to her, making her unable to believe in this world anymore.
"I'm afraid of war, it has cost me so much."
"I can't go back to the outside world anymore. I don't want to go back to the cruel time full of war. At least there are people here who treat me well, even if they imprison me here. And, even if I really go outside How can I survive in a world where I don’t know anything.”
After hearing what Lacus said, Violet said with concern.
"Miss Lacus, the war is over."
Lux was stunned when she heard this sentence, she thought the war would never end, it took away everything from her.How could the war end? It is obvious that everyone has paid such a painful price, and it is obvious how much damage this war has brought to people.
"My officer once told me."
Violet said.
"The war is over, but it will not be forgotten. All we can do is to remember this history and live in awe."
"Maybe you should go and see the outside world, it's beautiful there now, but if you stay here, in a short time, you will..."
Lux hesitated, Violet couldn't bear to see such a petite child who hadn't experienced happiness and freedom just die here without meaning, Lux could see this emotion.But once the frog at the bottom of the well goes to the outside world, can it really survive?Live freely and happily?After going to that world, where is her shelter? If not here, what can she do?
"But I don't know anything."
"I'm in pain."
"Do you feel pain, Violet?"
After hearing what Lux said, Violet replied without thinking.
"Yes."
"Because of the pain, I remember what I have experienced, what I have committed, what I yearn for, and what I rely on."
Lacus asked again.
"Then how long will this pain last? Or, will it not be painful when you go to the outside world?"
"Always, Miss Lux."
"Always..."
After Violet finished speaking, she wanted to leave alone. She had been here for too long. She originally thought that this place would allow her to understand her love better, but the legend was too long ago, so she did not continue to explore here. As for Lacus, she respected her choice and did not force it.
"If I stayed here forever like you, I might make the same choice as you, but since I have seen the outside world, I can't stay here. Suffocate. I don't want to imprison my soul, even in this magnificent cage."
"I used to be the same as you, no, I was even more ignorant than you. I was a prop that didn't even deserve to be called a human being. I was an existence without basic humanity. The war also made me lose everything. I don't even remember my own loved ones. I also hurt the people who love me time and time again."
"But I met someone, an angel."
After Violet finished speaking, she walked slowly towards the door, leaving Lux alone in the room. At the last moment of going away, Violet turned and looked back, and then disappeared into the Lacus. In Si's line of sight, after a while, there was only the sound of a grenade exploding, and a big hole was blown in the glass cover around the birdcage. The sound echoed continuously in this already closed environment, which also alarmed everyone. Originally, there were only a few congregants looking for Violet together, but now under the deafening explosion, all the congregants mobilized.
This gorgeous birdcage was blasted open a gap.
But this also seriously provoked the authority of the church here.
"The demigod has escaped!!! The messenger of the God of War has escaped!!! Capture it!!!!"
"Catch it back!!!!!! Catch it back!!!!!!"
