Chapter 12 "Be careful of the wind!"
Parnqi's death caused the rebels he led to fall apart overnight. Under the leadership of Sophia, the remaining orcs were also expelled from the three northern counties.
Princess Phoenix's reputation is getting higher and higher, and some private armed forces scattered everywhere to resist the orcs also turn to her. At the same time, the situation inland became more and more chaotic, and a large-scale war broke out. In particular, the Marquis of Lianting and Count Einhuly, after tearing their disguises, began to expand their respective territories and eventually triggered a war between the two sides because of the conflict.
In addition, due to dissatisfaction with the imprisonment of the paladin Krapol, more and more knights have run away, and a knight organization called "God's Heart" began to appear. They refused the conscription of the king's sky and carved a cross line representing shame on the badge symbolizing glory to show their "depravity".
It is said that the "heart of God" is led by a red star knight who is only about ten years old.
"If the corrupt royal family and the Holy See still represent justice, we have to degenerate in our own way!" That's what the young man called the Moon Knight said.
Of course, Meiji doesn't care about these things, or he wants to pretend that he doesn't care. But he can't help it. Now he finds that no matter where he goes, he will inevitably hear the name Krapol.
Phoenix Princess Sophia, Paladin Krapol, and Mercenary King Asius, these three names seem to have become legends overnight, and people are talking about them everywhere. Krapoll, who led the royal army to repel the army, was about to be tried for a crime that no one believed at all, which undoubtedly aroused the sympathy of most people.
"I don't understand," Meiji said depressedly. "There are many wronged people in the world. Is it possible for everyone to be angry with that guy? What if he is a paladin? Can't the paladin be wronged? Besides, he may not have been wronged. Maybe he really killed the damn cardinal.
"You are jealous," Wei Feng told him, "because he once proposed to the princess, and His Highness almost agreed, so you can't wait for Krapol to die."
"Who said I was jealous?" Meiji snorted, "A confident man will never doubt the woman who belongs to him, so I will never doubt Sophia, whether that guy is dead or alive is none of my business."
"Is it really none of your business?"
"Well, it's none of my business," Meiji said seriously. "It has nothing to do with me."
"Even if Her Royal Highness intends to save him in person, it has nothing to do with you?"
"That's right, even so... what are you talking about?" Meiji jumped up from the wind, "Sofia is going to save him?"
"Of course," the wind replied, "If Crapol is really executed, it will only aggravate the centrifusis of those knights and soldiers with a sense of justice. At that time, once those knights are completely opposed to the royal family, even the current reputation of the princess may not be able to pull them back. And if Krapol is willing to be loyal to the princess, the princess will be more popular and help to face the upcoming disaster.
"Do you mean..."
"Well, at the meeting in the morning, Her Royal Highness offered to take her * to Shukes County to try to rescue Crapol. Originally, her intention was to persuade the Prince of the Sky to release Krabor in the overall situation, but General Leot thought it was just futile. Instead of persuading the second prince and the Marquis of Liating, it is better to publicly criticize the second prince and the nobles who caused the civil war after rescuing Krapol, refuse to recognize the kingship of the second prince, and draw a line with those rotten and declining guys in a tough manner, which can make... Wait a minute, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Sophia." Meiji jumped out of bed, opened the door and ran out. Sophia is going to save that guy? Are you kidding?
"But..." The wind wanted to stop him, but it was too late, and Meggie had run out.
Before long, the screams of several elf priests sounded, including crimson and blue.
"But," the wind lay on ** and muttered, "At least you should put on your clothes before going out..."
Soon, Meiji ran back with sweat, with several bags on his forehead, which were beaten by crimson and blue. Since returning from Maze, the two elf girls have only caught an excuse to beat him.
After getting dressed, he left again. Those elf women blushed and smiled in the distance, staring at him fiercely, holding two thick sticks in their hands.
He had to smile at them awkwardly.
When she saw Sophia, she was staying in an open space in the wild, quietly combing her feathers. * extinguished his body and fireworks and stood there softly. This horrible creature, which caused great trouble for the fog forest, was tame like a huge hen beside Sophia.
"Here you are." Sophia waved to Meg.
"Hmm." Meiji walked behind her and reached out to hold her. The early spring has passed, and the afternoon sun is hot, which makes Meji feel that Sophia's body is transmitting warmth to him.
Thinking of the tension and eagerness just now, Meji himself felt funny. On the one hand, he said that he was very confident. On the other hand, he was shocked when he heard that Sophia was going to see Krapol. How could he be confident in himself?
He put his hand on Sophia's chest, and the two huge hills made him unable to hold them completely.
"Someone will see it." Sophia leaned on his chest and blushed, but did not refuse the two irregular palms*.
"You seemed to have something on your mind just now?" Meiji asked.
"Well," Sophia whispered, "just thought of Tinuvir again. I have been thinking about her these days. I don't know why, it's incredible to think of the calm before her death.
"Her death is not your fault."
"I know," Sophia shook her head. "I'm not sad about her death, and I don't feel guilty. Whether Hancicada kills her or you or I kill her, there is no difference. And I think Tinuville should have known that there would be such an end. From the time she decided to follow Pane, she knew that her death was inevitable.
"What are you thinking?"
"Guess!"
"Let me guess?" Meiji asked in surprise. Sophia will let him guess, which proves that what she is thinking is not only related to Tinuville and Panqi, but also to him. In fact, if you calm down and think about it, you will find that his relationship with Sophia is indeed somewhat similar to that of Panqi and Tinuvir, but he just lost his position. Tinuvir stayed on the battlefield for Panqi, and he stayed for Sophia. Just as Tinuville wants Panqi to take her to the ends of the earth that no one knows about them, deep in his heart, he also hopes that Sophia can leave with him now and go to the fog forest to spend the rest of their lives.
Since Sophia couldn't leave, Meji had to stay and protect her until she could go with him.
"If you are worried that you will kill me like Panke killed Tinuvir," Megy sighed, "then you think too much. As I said, I only do what I want to do. Even if you want to drive me away, I won't leave."
In his heart, Sophia is always different from others. Although he also has other women around him, only Sophia... Only Sophia is different...
"I'm really a little scared," Sophia folded her hand on the back of Meggie's hand. "I know it's much better for Alice and Anna to let you go back to the Fog Girl Forest, so that they won't worry about you all day long. But I can't do it. During your trip to New Asia, I really want to leave everything behind and come to you. And now, it is because I know that you are by my side that I feel at ease.
"I will always be with you."
"But it's not fair to Alina," Sophia said. "She's already pregnant with your child."
"Sofia..."
"Meggie, I'm really jealous!" Sophia closed her eyes and said, "When you know that Alina is pregnant, you will never understand how painful my heart was at that time. I always thought that I would be the first woman to help you give birth..."
"Don't think too much." Meiji hugged her heartbrokenly. Although he did joke more than once that Sophia gave birth to a bunch of crowing children, he really didn't know that she would care so much about it.
"Meggie, stay with me, okay?" Sophia said painfully, "When I was burned by fire in the royal city, you came to me. When I became crippled and ugly, you were always with me. When I couldn't see hope in the war, it was also you who accompanied me to the fog girl forest to find*. If you leave at this time, I don't know if I still have the courage to stay here. Although this is very unfair to Alina, and it is also unfair to the child in her belly..."
"I said, really don't think so much." Meiji sighed, "Sofia, you didn't think so much before. As long as it is something that must be done, you will make up your mind to do it. That's your personality.
"Is it?" Sophia calmed down and slowly calmed down. Then she turned around and looked at Meiji, "I think it may be because my dream has become different, right?"
"Dream?"
"In the past, I just wanted to be a princess needed by everyone and the person who saved the kingdom in Mr. Uno's prophecy. It doesn't matter if I die." Sophia said, "But now, I just want to leave with you one day, no matter where I go. In order to fulfill this dream, I need to survive. Even on the most dangerous battlefield, I must survive. But for this reason, I began to be afraid that I couldn't do it..."
"It will be done." Meiji took her hand and said, "Of course we will live well and leave here after everything is over. Didn't you say that in the dead old man... Well, in Mr. Uno's prophecy, you will leave with the person you like after saving the kingdom..."
"No," Sophia smiled bitterly. "I have figured out Mr. Uno's prediction."
"What do you understand?" Meggy looked at her puzzledly.
"Mr. Uno is lying," a faint sneer flashed on Sophia's face. "From the beginning, he has been lying to me."
"Ah?!" Meggie felt that she didn't understand.
"Prophism can never predict the actions of undead creatures," Sophia said calmly. "If our biggest crisis is from the dead Bayer and his dead, even Mr. Uno will not know what will happen in the future. And once I figured this out, I would have figured out some previous doubts.
Meggie still doesn't understand what she means, but he knows the natural antagonism between prophecy and the dead. Prophecy has never been absolutely correct, and immortal creatures are the biggest obstacle to prophecy. It is also because of this that the wind has deep doubts and fears about Emma. No matter how Megji guarantees Emma, he can't calm her down.
"That's right," he remembered the reason why he ran here. "The wind said you were going to Sykes County?"
"Well," Sophia nodded, "I'm going to let you and Emma go with me... Didn't the wind tell you?"
"No, she only said that you were going to save Krapol. I thought you were the only one going." Meiji giggled. Obviously, the wind is deliberately scaring him. Since he will always be with Sophia, are you afraid that Krapol will take advantage of it?
"Meggie." Sophia looked at Meji, and her expression suddenly became extremely serious.
"What's wrong?" Meiji was stunned. Sophia had never shown such a serious expression in front of him, which surprised him a little.
He saw Sophia slowly approaching his body and whispered in his ear, "Be careful of the wind!"
