Chapter 23 "I'm still a princess!"

The little witch Karin finally released Corotia, and she relieved the "heart burst" placed on Cororia.

Corotia, who regained consciousness, hugged tightly with her brother.

Meggie assured Karin over and over again that she would bring her sister here. The little witch believed him, or it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. No matter how far apart the two sisters are, there is always an expectation between them. Even if there is only that little guarantee, they are willing to try and cherish it.

When leaving the mysterious space, Megji saw Karin sitting dirty on the ground, eating and watching him and laughing.

Somehow, he felt a pain in his heart.

With Corortia, they returned to the thorny land together.

On the way to the hiding places of the fallen knights, Meggie has been silent. And somehow, Krapol and Corotia, the brothers and sisters who were still holding each other tightly just now, also seemed to suddenly become strange, as if there was an invisible crack that suddenly separated them, clearly close to each other, but as far away as the world.

After walking for a while, Meiji stopped and looked at Sophia: "You go first. I want to go to the city."

Sofia thought for a moment and guessed why he wanted to go back to Mogril. She said, "I'll go with you."

Krapor and Corrotia were stunned and didn't know what they were going to do. Especially Krapol, he clearly knew that it was not the time to enter the city at all. The king of the sky had just been assassinated last night, and as a paladin, he happened to escape from prison at the same time. At this time, Moglier must have been in a mess.

What they should do is to find the fallen knights immediately and dive out of Sykes County in the chaos.

"You and Corortia will come back there and wait for us first, and we will be back soon." Sophia looked at Krapol.

Krapol didn't ask much, just nodded.

"And, Corortia," Sophia turned to Corortia, "I want to talk to you alone."

Corotia raised her eyebrows and looked at her doubtfully. But Sophia pulled Meji aside first and whispered something to him, and Meggie also showed a smile that seemed interesting and took something out of the dimensional bag and gave it to Sophia.

Suffia turned around and led Corortia to a secluded Xiaolin. Krapol didn't know what Princess Sofia wanted to say to his sister, so he had to wait there.

Corotia reluctantly followed Sophia, who was also a rose knight and had followed Princess Sophia for a period of time. It was only after knowing that her brother fell in love with Princess Sophia that she unconsciously rejected the princess. The night before yesterday, after seeing Princess Sophia do that kind of shame with the teenager next to her in the room, Corortia was even more disgusted with Princess Sophia.

She couldn't understand how Princess Sofia could refuse her brother, but she was with such a rogue guy. She was sure that when she just woke up with only a bra and underwear, the teenager was clearly peeking at her breasts. If it weren't for Princess Sophia and her brother being beside her, Corrotia would have really wanted to beat him severely.

followed Princess Sophia to the back of Xiao Linzi. She asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Although Corotia's tone was not polite enough, Sophia was not angry. She just smiled: "Corotia, can you tell me how much you like your brother?"

Corotia blushed: "Of course... it's my sister who likes... like my brother..."

"Don't lie to me." Sophia smiled.

The smile on Sophia's face made Corotia feel a little angry. She stared at Sophia fiercely and said coldly, "My brother and I don't need you to take care of it. You just take care of your own little white face. Humph, if my brother knows that you are such a woman..."

"What kind of woman am I?" Sophia said, "A woman who does that kind of thing happily with the person she likes in the pub? Or, just because I'm a princess, I can't shout when doing that kind of thing, I can't make an unelegant posture, let alone have pleasure?

Corotia stayed there. She couldn't understand how this woman could be so shameless that she said such a thing so generously without blushing?

Sofia whispered in her ear, "So, have you ever thought about this? Have you ever thought of letting your brother take off your clothes, hug you, kiss you, and let him touch every inch of your body..."

"He is my brother," Corortia only felt hot all over her body, and she said weakly, "And in his eyes, I'm just a sister..."

"Really?" Sophia's voice was ethereal in her ear, but full of the power of the devil, "If I say that he actually wants to do such a thing to you, do you believe it? In his heart, he also wants to regard you as his woman, not just a sister. Just as you like him, he also likes you, and this kind of love is completely different from that between brothers and sisters, but like lovers. Do you believe it or not?

"No, it's impossible!" Although her heartbeat seemed to collapse, Cororia still felt that Sophia was lying to her.

"Then, give it a try."

"How to try?"

"This," Sophia took out a glass bottle containing a strange** and put it on the palm of Corortia's hand. "On the way back, just say that you are tired, find a completely empty place to rest with Crapol, and then secretly drink it."

"What will happen?" Corotia asked nervously.

"This is a bottle of potion," Princess Sophia smiled. "It will make you put aside all your timidity and scruples and boldly tell your brother what's on your mind. It will make you more attractive and feminine, making you think of yourself as a real woman, not just a clever sister. More importantly, it can verify how long your brother's admiration for you can keep his reason. Believe me, whether you two can be happy or not depends on whether anyone has the courage to take the first step, and I think this person should be you.

"But," Coronia said, "in case of failure, in case... in case my brother really just treats me as a sister..."

"So what?" Sophia looked at her, "It's nothing more than going back to the past. You continue to be your sister, and at worst, you shift the blame to me and say that after drinking the potion I gave you, you don't know what you have done. Does Crapole dare to come and scold me?"

Corotia has completely shaken.

"Don't worry," Sophia touched her head. "No matter how powerful your brother is, he is just a man. Unless he doesn't like you at all, he absolutely can't stand your **. The more depressed his heart is, the heavier the impulse to break the taboo will be.

"But brother, he is a paladin..."

"What can the paladin do?" Sophia said lightly, "I'm still a princess!"

Corotia opened her eyes wide.

*

After separating from the Krabor brothers and sisters, Sophia and Meji walked together on their way to the city of Mogril.

She would help Corotia in that way, which made Sophia herself feel a little funny. In the past, she couldn't do this kind of thing anyway, but now, she seems to have looked away a lot overnight. She only feels that all the moral constraints are just a joke. There is nothing in the world that can't be done.

If you can even murder your own brother, what else can't you do? Her heart suddenly hurt.

Big brother Fengyan was killed by the sky. Since she fled from the royal city, she has been unable to forgive the second brother Cangqiong, which is vicious and cruel that even her relatives can be put to death without hesitation. But what about now? Didn't she do the same thing?

If this is a strange circle mocked by fate, in whose hands will she die?

"Suffia, don't think too much." Meiji was beside her, holding her hand worriedly.

"I'm fine." She smiled with a far-fetched smile and shook her head.

Meggie thought that she chose Emma to assassinate the sky purely to save Krapol, but in fact it was not just that.

She thought a lot.

Time has become more and more urgent. If the civil strife of the kingdom does not end as soon as possible, when the immortal Bayer and his necromancer appear, everyone will be easily swept away like fallen leaves. If ambitious nobles such as the Marquis of Liiting or Einhuly continue to fight, the result will be unimaginable.

Now, it's time for her to stand up.

However, as long as the sky is still alive, people like Krapol, who are bound by the rules of knights, can't support her. As a princess, Sophia is deeply aware of the importance and influence of the knight class. Chivalry has been passed down in this country for hundreds of years. No matter how stupid and ridiculous they are in her eyes, it is undeniable that these knights with loyalty and faith represent the strongest power of the kingdom.

And this power is being torn apart by the people's disappointment in the sky, or running away, or being used by ambitious people who regard the sky as puppets.

She can't let this situation continue.

However, although there is a reason to protect this country, it cannot wash away her blood. Even if there are 10,000 reasons for being forgiven, the crime of murdering her brother still burns her soul like a flame. The body can follow * in the fire, but a person's soul will only follow the superimposed sins and fall into the eternal hell.

She has fallen into hell... she knows.

When will it take to end all this terrible things?

My heart is so painful that it seems to crack. She covered her chest tightly with her right hand, stopped and gasped vigorously.

Meggie still took her other hand and didn't say anything. The strong pain and guilt in Sophia's heart passed along the invisible silk thread to his heart. He could not comfort her, so he could only stand here, hold her hand and bear it with her silently.

This is the only thing he can do.

But is this enough?

Mage also knew that if Krabol or anyone else remained here, Sophia would never show her weakness and pain. Just because he is around, or because only he is around, Sophia can hide her pain and tears.

However, he doesn't want to prove his importance to Sophia in this way. He doesn't want to be such a bystander who can only stand aside and watch her crushed by the heavy load.

He wants to be a man who can bring her a smile and make her sad again!

When I entered Mogril's Dream Moon Tavern, it was already evening. The streets and alleys are full of guards. Yesterday it was a very lively pub, but today there are only a few empty people. The depressing atmosphere covered the city with the sunset, and even the footsteps of passers-by on the street seemed heavy and cloudy.

Because he didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble, Meiji put an illusion on himself and Sophia, making them completely different from last night in the eyes of others.

Although Sophia wanted to order two cups of dwarf spirits, Meggie only asked for juice for her. In fact, for Sophia, it is no different whether she drinks spirits or water. She is almost immune to alcohol, and spirits can't change her mood much. It's just that Meggie still doesn't like to see her keep drinking with wine.

Knowing that she drinks juice will more or less reassure Meggie himself, although he also knows how bad the juice in this place is.

A whole glass of juice was quickly emptied by Sophia, and she wanted it again.

Meggie had to smile bitterly and secretly cast a spell when no one noticed, and poured water into Sophia's cup.

Sofia stared at him.

He simply put his hands together to hold his chin, his eyes wide open, and tried to puff his cheeks to see if he could reveal his dimples.

Maybe his appearance really shaded Sophia, but it was more likely that he disgusted Sophia. Anyway, Sophia almost choked as soon as she took a sip of the water in the cup. She coughed desperately and finally took a breath.

"What the hell do you look like?" Sophia asked angrily.

"Is it cute?"

"Love your head!" Sophia almost wanted to beat him.

"Then I'll change it." He is going to try another expression.

"Forget it," Sophia sighed softly, "I'm fine."

"I can't see it."

"It's really okay." Sophia shook her head and calmed down for a while before asking again, "Am I useless? Obviously, he has decided to take responsibility even if he falls into hell, but he is still so fragile.

If even you are fragile, is there any strong woman in the world? Meiji thought. But he didn't say anything more. He just stretched out his hand and silently folded it on the back of Sophia's hand.

Sofia also fell silent.

At this time, Meji saw Neo coming in.

Neo wore a simple leather armor with a sword more like a decorative sword around his waist. He walked to Sophia and Meiji and smiled faintly: "Are you waiting for me?"

It's not surprising that Meggie's illusion on herself can be seen through so easily by him. At least this guy has been a paladin. If he doesn't even have this ability, he really doesn't have to fool around.

Meji pulled his hand back and sat next to them after watching Neo make a simple and unnoticed etiquette to Sophia.

Meggie is indeed waiting for him.

He has too many things to ask this guy, of course, mainly to find out why Su Li's sister appeared here and became a witch? In some of the clues he had obtained before, Sully's mother, Mary Sullen Ewell, should have taken her little daughter to Solinta, while Neo, a paladin, followed them and disappeared.

Mary's body was finally sent back to the royal city by the magician of Solita, but the question is, why did Karin and Neo appear here? Many people in this pub know Neo. Obviously, Neo has been in this city for more than a year or two, but those people don't know that he was originally a paladin.

"Have you just come out of that thorn?" Neo looked at them, "Have you seen Karin?"

"You already know, what else do you ask?" Meiji said coldly.

At this time, Sophia's mood also calmed down. She looked at the paladin Neo: "What the hell are you hiding from us?"

"I said that I have never given up my duties," Neo replied with a blank face. "I'm just carrying out the task your father gave me."

"But Mary is dead..."

"I don't believe it," said Neo, "I don't believe that Mary will die so simply. She has mastered too many evil secrets, and it is not difficult to get a corpse to send back to the king. I have reason to believe that she is not only alive, but also will come back here sooner or later.

Mage and Sophia looked at each other in consternment.

Is Bloody Mary still alive?

Since Mary Sulen Eviell escaped from the royal city, Sophia was only a little girl in her teens. To a large extent, she only heard about it and didn't really know it, and Meiji certainly didn't know what happened in the royal city. Therefore, they can't make too many judgments about Neo's belief that Mary is still alive.

"However, someone did recognize her body," Sophia hesitated. "There are also some magicians and priests who have confirmed the authenticity of the body. Even Mary can't hide it from so many people..."

Neo asked, "Did Mr. Urenos also see her body?"

"I don't think so," Sophia shook her head. "I remember that at that time, Mr. Uno had been removed from the palace magician by my father and driven out of the royal city. However, Cardinal Sarai also saw Mary's body with his own eyes.

"I believe it is indeed Mary's body, but I still don't believe she is dead." Neo said.

Suffia and Meji don't understand what he means.

"Believe me, Mary will come back here to find her little daughter sooner or later." Neo's eyes reflected a cold light, "I know her better than anyone else. She advocates darkness, cruelty and ruthlessness. She can abandon her husband and daughter without hesitation, or spread blood all over the earth with a smile. She will never die so easily, and I have no doubt about it.

"But," Meggie doesn't understand. "If she is a person who can easily abandon her daughter, how can you be sure that she will come back here to find Karin?"

"Because she thirsts for power, she is peeping at the power of the witches that originally belonged to this land." Neo explained, "Have you seen a woman in Karin? A woman with scars all over her body? Her name is Blair, the former witch of this land.

"It's impossible," Meiji looked at him in surprise. "The power of the witch is constant, and it will only be automatically transferred to her after the death of the last witch. Since Karin has inherited the power of the witch, it means..."

"But she is not dead." Neo whispered, "To be honest, I don't know anything about it. All I know is that Mary used some means to leave her little daughter with Blair and went to Sorinta by herself. Blair did have the idea of making Karin her heir, but her nature is strange, and she has been abusing Karin. But after a few years, she suddenly found that her magic began to shift inexplicably and ran into Karin's body. Mary must have done something to her little daughter so that Karin could automatically absorb the mysterious power.

"So, do you think she will come back here one day and take this power away from Karin?" Meiji looked at him disbelief, "But it's just your suspicion!"

Neo didn't say anything, but silently knocked on the table with his finger.

Meggie and Sophia looked at each other again and said nothing more.

Whether the speculation that Bloody Mary is still alive is true or not, it seems that Neo will always be here. This reminded Sophia of the rumor that the paladin Neo had a relationship with Mary Sulen Eviere. Or, Neo just doesn't want to accept the fact that Mary is dead.
