Chapter 88:
"Warrior Princess" (5)
On the day the princess returned to the city, the hero triumphed.
Starting from the small border town, where the princess guards passed by, the alleys were empty, flowers and fruits were thrown empty, and the roads greeted each other. The human race chanted the thrills and strangeness of this dragon slaying journey, and sighed at the feat of dragon slaying completed by Her Royal Highness.
Those who died in the Dragon City in the past have been forgotten, only those who succeeded and survived became legends among the brave; but in the past, the shadows and nightmares that would be shrouded in the territories of the evil dragon, today are only the glory of the dragon slaying hero crowned Add a touch of magnificent color.
But "Legend" himself is depressed.
On the way from the border to the royal city, Gu Nian didn't even get off the princess sedan chair.
With only the last part of the journey to the royal city, the princess's guard of honor rested between the two cities, and the members of the guard team gathered to chat.
"When we leave, we still ride horses with us. How come we slaughter the dragon triumphantly, instead of taking the princess sedan chair?"
"Perhaps it was injured?"
"Don't speak arrogantly! Your Highness, a wise martial artist, a hero who slays the dragon, how could he get hurt?"
"Yes, it must be just tired."
"But I heard that after his highness woke up, he went to the tiankeng where the dragon territory collapsed and collapsed, and his eyes were red when he came back."
"This, this... Maybe it's been too many years to be afflicted by the evil dragon, and finally succeeded, your Highness is too excited?"
"possible."
"His Royal Highness is concerned about the common people, really, your Excellency Xiu, why did you come out yourself!?"
One of the members of the guard squad suddenly exclaimed after raising his head, and the others were so frightened that they quickly got up from the stone.
Several people hurriedly arranged the armor and helmet heads, and the gold and the iron intertwined, making a heavy and clear sound.
The lord of the guards was standing by. He was dressed in an undefended cloth, with long hair hanging down, and his expression was gentle, completely like a noble boy without the strength of a chicken.
Even so, none of the guards holding the sharp spears dared to despise him, or even dared to look at the long-haired beauty.
That fear comes from the bottom of my heart, without knowing the reason.
But not knowing the reason is even more daunting.
The long-haired beauty turned a blind eye to their awe, and smiled gently and asked, "Have you not come out yet?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then I will go and see."
"This……"
The guard squad member at the head wanted to stop, but as soon as he uttered a word, he met the gentle look of the long-haired beauty.
He clicked, his voice suffocated in his throat, and he lowered his head hurriedly without being able to say the second word.
Xiu calmly and gently retracted his gaze, turned and walked towards the princess sedan chair. When he got outside the princess sedan chair, he saw the maid coming out of it sadly.
The maid looked up and saw the long-haired Xiu, her expression hesitated: "Your Excellency?"
"I came to see the princess."
"Your Royal Highness is not feeling well, it may not be convenient to see you," the maid lowered her gaze and motioned to what she was holding. "The meal prepared at noon today, Your Royal Highness let me take it out without taking a few bites."
"..."
Xiu glanced across the tray.
Soon he raised his gaze and reached out his hand: "Give it to me."
"Do not……"
The maid wanted to refuse, but as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the man slowly approaching, her eyes seemed to carry some kind of irresistible and irreversible pressure, she almost instinctively raised her hands. The tray is brought forward.
When she returned to her senses, the maid awakened and turned around. It was already time to see the last corner of the beautiful woman's dress in the outer curtain of the princess sedan chair.
The maid was in a cold sweat.
She started trying to remember what happened just a moment ago, but she couldn't remember any details. The only thing left in her memory was a pair...
A pair of golden pupils appeared slightly.
The maid panicked and took a step towards the princess sedan: "Your Highness, you" "It's okay, you can go back and rest."
"..."
There was a female voice in the princess sedan chair, light and tired, a tone that the maid couldn't understand better.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left as if fleeing.
After Gu Nian finished answering, she returned to her sight.
In the princess sedan chair is a small sparrow with complete internal organs, and a long-haired beauty sitting across from a delicate low table is opposite her.
The things on the dinner plate that she hadn't touched were put back one by one by the slender and beautiful fingers. Perhaps the hand was beautifully made, and she forgot to stop the process of serving the food that made her appetite.
When I recovered, the small table in front of me was full again, and Gu Nian frowned to speak.
"What are you looking at?" The gentle voice raised his eyes, preemptively.
Gu Nian lowered her head and hesitated for a few seconds with what was in her hand. She slowly lifted her hand from under the table and put it on the table.
The folded fingers slowly opened and stretched out.
A jewel-like scale appeared in her white palm.
Xiu didn't seem to be surprised. He glanced at that piece of inverse scales with a gentle and meaningless expression, then raised his gaze to the princess without any nostalgia: "Your Royal Highness likes it?"
"..."
Gu Nian pursed her lips and didn't answer.
She didn't speak, she just endured it, because she knew she would say too much when she opened her mouth. She didn't like the attitude towards it. The dragon scale in his eyes was like a gift.
One, a gift stained with its blood.
There is nothing wrong with this. If the source of this dragon scale is announced, all the races in the world will cheer for it, and it is not a pity that the dragon died in their eyes.
She originally came for this too. But if this dragon scale belongs to the half-demon boy, if it doesn’t want to be evil, if it threatens the borders of the kingdom again and again during the rare days of waking up, but it can’t speak, just wants to ask for a few things from her, like that It’s like a vanity mirror. It’s a big mistake that it should be killed?
But whether it has it or not, it is dead.
Even Ni Lin was torn off, the painful dragon roar that she heard before she passed out, and the blood rain...
Gu Nian closed her eyes tightly, her fingers closed again, and the hard edges and corners of the scales were almost wedged into her palm. It still hurt before, but now she is only numb.
"...I know it."
After a long time, Gu Nian heard herself speak slowly in a very low and light voice.
"I just don't know, I know it."
Xiu's eyes moved.
He slowly raised his eyes, his brown eyes suppressed a certain dark emotion that needed to be earned, and he gently lowered his eyes: "Your Highness is not willing?"
Gu Nian was silent for a long time, and said softly, "I just regret it."
"What do you regret?"
"Regret... Maybe I should keep it by my side at that time, at least teach it how to communicate with the human race, how to make demands."
"Requirement?" Xiu's eyes dropped, but the corners of his lips slightly raised. "What's the requirement?"
"No matter what the requirements are, if the Human Race can meet it and have the hope or possibility of not being threatened by it, then the Human Race will not fight it desperately."
"Any request?" "..."
Gu Nian squeezed the scales tightly, and the cold touch kept cold in her heart. She felt sad and wanted to cry.
But she is the hero of the human race and the warrior of slaying dragons. She shouldn't cry for a dragon in triumph.
Gu Nian's voice was low and dumb: "Any request is fine."
Xiu smiled swiftly: "Even though, does the evil dragon want you?"
Gu Nian was startled.
That dragon chant, and the vanity mirror that fell in front of her in the rain of blood, the sound and the picture were returned to her.
Gu Nian's eyes were shuddered by the blood-red rain, and she clenched the scales tighter and tighter, and her thin skin finally failed to hold the sharp edges.
A trace of blood slowly dips into the jewel-like scales, and then meets.
Gu Nian didn't notice, her voice trembled slightly: "If you can foresee the ending, then I'm willing to choose another path."
""
Xiu's eyes flickered, looking at the palm of Gu Nian's hand if he was aware. He saw the only difference in the flowing blood under the scales.
When Gu Nian returned to God, Xiu was still looking at Ni Lin in her hand. Gu Nian looked down for a while and asked, "It must be painful when it is torn off."
Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, after a moment he lowered his eyes and smiled: "It doesn't hurt."
Gu Nian looked up blankly.
Xiu's voice was gentle: "This piece of inverse scale was dedicated to His Highness voluntarily."
"..."
Gu Nian froze for two seconds, turned her head down, laughed at herself: "But I went to kill it. If it knows, it should hate me."
"No." The voice was gentle, like a promise, "It has been in love with His Highness many years ago. No matter what His Highness does to him, the dragon will not change his heart."
"...?"
Gu Nian was startled.
When she recovered, she subconsciously raised her head to ask something, but the voice of the maid was already outside the princess sedan chair: "Your Majesty, the palace sends a letter. Your Majesty urges us to return to the palace as soon as possible."
"I see," Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing his emotions, "pass the order and leave the camp."
"Yes, Your Highness."
?
The princess slayed the dragon triumphantly, and she celebrated for three days in the palace, and her voice was endless.
Legends of heroes are often accompanied by gossips, and this time is no exception. The celebration is not over yet, a rumor has spread among the maids in the palace
It was said that the princess went to Dragon City, not only slaughtered the evil dragon and destroyed the territory of the evil dragon, but also brought back from there a beauty who was as beautiful as a monster.
And not to avoid suspicion, the great beauty lived in the hall next to her sleeping hall after returning to the palace with the princess, and the two met in secret in the hall every day, without even leaving the hall door.
"I happened to pass by outside the princess's bedroom that day, and I saw it with my own eyes, what a beauty!"
"How beautiful is it?"
"I heard that it is the male version of your Majesty the Queen. It is not inferior, so I always say that he is not a human."
"Not Human?"
"It shouldn't be. I went to the princess's bedroom to deliver things before and walked past the person. Although it is indeed beautiful, the breath is very clean, without the disgusting smell of those monster races."
"It's not a monster, so how come you were brought back on the way to conquer the evil dragon?"
"Wow, is it the spoils of your Royal Highness's return from the leader of the dragon?"
"Yes, yes, I've heard this statement, and it is said that His Highness saved it on the road."
"..."
Rumors like this spread quickly in the palace, and the queen, who has always been good-tempered, got cold face when she heard it, and severely punished the palace servant who had spread the rumor.
This rumor also spread to the princess's bedroom.
When Gu Nian heard it, she was playing chess with the rumored beauty.
The little maid in her palace stammered and said, looking at the beauty in white robe and long hair, it took a long time to finally finish.
The personal maid was annoyed when she heard it, she rolled up her sleeves to teach the palace people who chewed their tongues, but was stopped by Gu Nian.
"Don't worry about them."
After returning from Longcheng, the princess became lazier than before. In the past, she used to go to the back garden to bask in the sun, but now the teenager waiting to repay her gratitude is no longer there, and she doesn't even bother to go to the back garden.
Gu Nianxian dialed the chess piece, then dropped his hand back into the rocking chair.
The personal maid ran back: "His Royal Highness, do you really care about them?"
"Ok."
"Your Excellency Ko Xiu is the chief guard of the princess appointed by His Majesty the King, but they spread such excessive rumors not only to slander your clean name, but also Your Excellency Xiu can't tolerate them, right?"
"It doesn't matter to me," Gu Nian asked casually, "Xiu, do you mind?"
The maid looked opposite.
The long-haired and white-robed beauty closed her sleeves, and said gently without raising her eyes as she settled down, "It's an honor I can't ask for to be involved in rumors with Your Highness."
maid︰"…………?"
Gu Nian was stunned to hear, and then laughed: "I think after returning to the palace, you will learn from them when you speak, and you will become more and more provocative and pleasant."
Xiu lowered the chess piece, raised his eyes, gentle and serious: "It's just that I didn't know how to express it before."
Gu Nian joked: "So it's the truth?"
"Yes."
Gu Nian smiled and she didn't know if she believed it or not.
The maid looked helplessly next to her: "His Royal Highness, even if you don't want to worry about it, your Majesty will not let it go easily."
Gu Nian nodded indifferently: "Then let her care, anyway, I don't need to work hard."
"Your Majesty, if your Majesty the Queen really wants to care, you can't get rid of the relationship."
"?"
Gu Nian put down the oranges in her hand, and looked up blankly and innocently: "The rumors they spread, what does this have to do with me?"
"Your Majesty the Queen should let you..." The maid glanced scrupulously at the long-haired beauty who was facing down.
Gu Nian waved her hand and looked back: "No, they didn't care about me in the past."
"His Royal Highness, this time is different."
"Where is it different?"
"Have you not heard of your highness?"
"What did you hear?"
"..."
Seeing no movement, Gu Nian looked back blankly.
The maid hesitated for a few seconds, leaned over her ears, and whispered: "The guard of honour, where the neighboring king's son came to beg, has already arrived outside the royal city."
""
On the opposite side of the chess table, the beauty with long hair stopped suddenly.
After a while, he raised his eyes faintly, his gentle smile still remained, but his eyes were as cold as a frozen lake.
