The night was deep, but the celebrations in Tozes City continued, and the people were recklessly roaring in the square, enjoying the joy of this moment.
On the other side of the ruling government, on the balcony on the opposite side of the open-air platform with the people, a small figure stood quietly here.
The tall buildings blocked the celebratory noise in the square, making it much quieter than the other side.
The little girl stood on the balcony, her slightly curled fluffy hair fell on her palm-sized face. She was still very young, but her face could not see much innocence that belonged to a child, and even vaguely revealed that it was similar to her age. Totally inappropriate gloomy color.
She was lying on the balcony, looking down at the inner courtyard of the ruling government below, but her eyes were in a trance, and she didn't know what to think.
She lay quietly on the stone fence, and the noise of the celebration behind her seemed out of tune with her.
I don't know how long it took, a light footstep sounded behind her, walking towards her from far to near.
A familiar voice came from behind her.
"Princess, why are you staying here?"
Awakened from her trance by this sound, Emma turned her head and saw that Vinier was behind her without any accident.
She laughed at herself: "I want to know, only you will come to me."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked into the distance, with a confused look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that something was wrong with Emma, Vinier asked.
"Vinelle, I know, neither you nor others, actually don't like my character. Some people say behind my back that I have a naughty nature, I know that."
Vinier was stunned for a moment, subconsciously wanting to say something to explain, but seeing Emma's calm expression, she was a little surprised.
She has watched Emma grow up since she was a child, and she knows the character of this child very well. If it were the previous Emma, she would definitely be angry when she heard this, and she would not be as calm as she is now.
"I know, the reason why you are still with me who is so self-willed is because I am a princess and my mother's only daughter."
With her hands on the stone fence, Emma looked at the pitch-black sky.
The wind blowing from the night sky picked up her long fluffy hair.
"I don't like this. I don't like that people only look at me with the eyes of the 'Princess', because my mother is around me. So, I deliberately do those willful things... It's childish, isn't it?"
Thinking of the nightmarish days when she was caught by the pirates, Emma smiled wryly.
"I used to stubbornly believed that the status of a 'princess' was a constraint on me. No matter how hard I worked and how well I did, everyone took it for granted. The shadow of my mother was unbearable for me... But after that After the incident, I realized how ridiculous my idea was."
she says,
"Without the status of 'Queen', I am nothing at all, nothing."
"I didn't do anything for Elson, but I had a lot."
"And everything I got, can be willful and willful, and can live a prosperous life, including you who are by my side... All because I am a 'Queen' and my mother's daughter."
Having said that, she paused, turned her head and smiled lightly at Vinier.
"I used to think he was the same as me."
"He is the prince of Aaron Landis, and his brother is the world-renowned King Camos, so I think he must understand my mood."
"But I know now, it's different."
She shook her head gently and said softly.
"I'm completely different from him."
"If I lose my status as a 'princess', I'm nothing. But so many people... everyone admires him, they support him and regard him as their faith, not because his brother is King Camos. "
"Even if he loses his identity as Prince Aaron Landis, I know that many people will still follow him willingly."
The little princess stared at the wall in front of her.
But her eyes seemed to penetrate the thick wall and looked at the person on the opposite side of the wall.
She said, "Just because he is Garland."
Elson's little princess whispered, "Vinelle, I envy him, I really want to be like him."
She looked at Vinier and asked, "What do I have to do to be like him?"
Looking at the confused little girl with gentle eyes, Vinier's mood was very complicated.
The princess has begun to grow, which makes her feel a little distressed at the same time.
No matter how mature she is, the princess is only a child in her teens.
She thought about it, opened her mouth, and planned to say something.
However, just before she had time to speak, there was a sudden movement not far away, General Elson's face changed, and she looked sharply at the place where the sound was made.
"Who? Come out!"
she shouted loudly.
Following her shout, a burly figure came out from the dark shadow in the corner.
This middle-aged man, who was once a slave, is now wearing dark leather armor, and he can no longer see the shadow of a slave, but the surging and fierce blood has not changed in the slightest.
He glanced at the two of them, bowed his head, and bowed.
"Because the two have been away for too long, the prince was a little worried, afraid that the two would be in danger, so he ordered us to come out and look for them."
The man lowered his head slightly, and there was no expression on his seemingly simple and honest face.
He said, "Since the two of you are safe, then I will go and reply to Your Highness."
"Wait! Did you hear everything just now?"
Emma stopped him angrily.
It's enough to confide this embarrassing voice to Vinier, who has watched her grow up since she was a child, and she doesn't want others to hear it at all.
"... I'm sorry, the two of you were talking when I came, and it's really inconvenient for me to interrupt."
The little princess' face instantly flushed red, both angry and embarrassed.
That those humiliating words were heard by this humble slave was simply—
She gritted her teeth and stared at Teva angrily.
"If you think I'm being rude, I can give you an answer as my apology."
Emma was startled.
"Answer?"
she asked suspiciously.
"Regarding what you just asked, what do you have to do to become like Your Highness."
Tewa looked up and looked directly at the little princess.
"I can answer you, you can never be like your Highness."
"you-"
"If His Highness's mind is as broad as the sea, then, with all due respect, your breath is at most the size of a pond."
Emma was furious.
"Why do you say that? What can you, a slave, understand!"
"Your Highness, what you said at the beginning was actually quite right. I came here with the intention of clinging to His Highness, hoping to obtain a broader path from His Highness. I used to be a slave, so I will only try my best to let myself live. It’s better, whether it’s clinging to the powerful or chasing the power, as long as it’s useful, I’ll do it. For a slave like me who can fight beasts to the death for a bite of food, the integrity and dignity in your mouth are simply garbage.”
"I know, you look down on me like this."
Tewa paused for a moment and continued.
"However, His Highness accepted me like this."
"With his broad mind, even I am willing to accept this ugly mind, and I am willing to believe in my loyalty to him."
He looked directly at Emma and said in a deep voice, "And you can't do it. Lady Princess, you are always suspicious of the loyalty of the people around you, suspicious of them, and unwilling to believe them."
"… "
Emma opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
Tewa's words were so sharp that she couldn't refute them.
"Indeed, I came to the prince with the intention of clinging, but that doesn't mean my loyalty is a lie."
He says,
"You may not believe it, but for me, even if this useless body is shattered, my loyalty to His Highness will always exist."
After saying this, Tewa bowed to Emma again.
Then he turned away, the steady, rhythmic sound of footsteps drifting away as he went.
There was silence for a while, and after a while, Vinier came back to her senses.
She quickly comforted Emma and said, "This person is too rude, princess, I will teach you a lesson for you later."
Emma shook her head.
"no need."
She said softly, "I seem to understand something..."
She seemed to understand a little.
That young prince, obviously not strong, but the reason why so many people, even the world-renowned powerhouses, are willing to follow...
…
On the second day, at the port of Tozes City, Elson's largest battleship was moored at the mouth of the sea, waiting quietly.
Garlan came to see off the departed Princess Elson and the female warriors.
He saw obvious dark circles under the little princess' big eyes.
"What's wrong?" He touched Emma's head and asked with a smile, "Didn't sleep well yesterday?"
Is it because the celebration is too late
Because of a lot of things she couldn't figure out, the little princess who had been tossing and turning all night and couldn't sleep raised her head.
Long golden hair fell in front of her eyes, and she looked into the eyes of the boy in front of her.
When he smiled, the slightly curved golden eyes were extremely translucent, as if the bright sunlight fell into them.
When looking at those eyes, the darkness in her heart seemed to be swept away.
Suddenly, she grinned.
She smiled at Garlan, a bright, bright smile like a real child.
"Brother Garlan, bend over."
"Um?"
"Bend down." The little princess tugged at Garlan's arm coquettishly, "I have a private message to tell you."
Garlan followed her strength, bent over, and lowered his head.
The corner of the little princess' lips raised a successful smile.
Taking advantage of the fact that Garlan, who had just lowered her head, was not paying attention, she raised her head and leaned in to kiss Garlan's face with a kiss.
I have to leave a stamp.
Emma thought so proudly.
Just when her pink lips were about to touch Garlan's face—
A hand suddenly stretched out from the slanted ground.
The hand was so large that it covered the entire lower half of Garlan's face with a single slap, revealing only his two dazed eyes.
So, the little princess kissed the back of the hand, which was covered with snow-white bandages.
She froze all over.
Raising her head crunchly, she met the golden red eyes that were looking down at her.
A burst of anger arose, and the little princess glared at her with wide eyes.
Heimos covered the lower half of Garlan's face with one hand, and looked down coldly at the stinky brat who wanted to take advantage of his Garlan, his face gloomy.
Garlan, whose mouth was covered, was still a little stunned, but suddenly the hand covering his face pulled him up and fell into a familiar chest.
He glanced sideways, and saw Heimos' profile, with sharp lips and eyes staring straight ahead.
He rolled his eyes and looked in the direction of Heimos's gaze, and saw that the angry little princess stared at Heimos with wide eyes.
So, the situation at the scene is, a big man and a little girl, one has sharp eyes, the other has angry eyes, and the two of them just stared at each other.
In Garlan's mind, a picture of a big black wolf and a small wolf cub fighting each other for a piece of meat and bones suddenly appeared...
…
No, wait, is he comparing himself to flesh and bone
Garlan pouted twice in the bottom of his heart, deleted the weird picture in his mind, then raised his hand and touched the bandaged hand, signaling Heimos to loosen it.
Heimos shifted his gaze and landed on his face before letting go.
Garlan rolled his eyes and smiled at him, and Heimos's stinky face softened, and his sharp eyes softened.
He said, "Pay attention, that little guy is fine."
He said in an instructive tone: "And she is a woman no matter how young. Men and women should keep a distance, otherwise it will be easy to be misunderstood."
Garland: "..."
He wanted to give Heimos a roll of eyes.
You said that men and women don't have sex, so you can stick to me if you are a man, right
The little princess was obviously outraged by what Heimos said, and her cheeks were puffed up.
"I don't care about being misunderstood!"
She said, turning to look at Garland.
"Brother Garlan, you wait for me, and I will come to you when I am an adult."
She said aloud unceremoniously,
"I have decided, I must give birth to your child! Let her be the next Queen Elson!"
Garland: "..."
Looking at the ten-year-old little princess who aggressively announced that she was going to give birth to his child, the corner of his mouth twitched twice.
He said he didn't want to say anything.
…
…
Elson's warships moored in the harbor of Tozes set sail, and the sea breeze blew hard, swelling the huge white sails.
Led by the largest warships, they sailed towards the depths of the endless blue ocean.
Emma stood on the side of the ship, looking at the coastline that was gradually receding from her. The whistling sea breeze lifted her long fluffy hair and made it fly in the air.
General Vinier stood by her side to accompany her, and also looked at the coast with a little pity in her eyes.
In the past few days, she has used various means to get a child from the knight of the scorching sun, but the knight has completely lived up to his reputation. But it gave her no chance to take advantage of it, so she failed to succeed until the end.
... After all, she couldn't beat him, and she couldn't use strength.
Sighing regretfully, Vinier turned her gaze to the little princess beside her.
She asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Emma laughed.
At this moment, her eyes seemed to be less sullen and more calm and calm.
This made the light in her eyes seem to be a little brighter.
"Vinelle, I'm just thinking, although I'm a lot worse than brother Garland... As that person said, I can't become like him."
"But even if you can't become like him, it's good to be able to approach him little by little, isn't it?"
She said that her brightened eyes looked towards the boundless sea with yearning for the future.
"I want to be an Elson female warrior stronger than my mother."
"I want to be the queen that Elsons truly love."
"I want you, Vinier, and others, not because of my mother, but because of me, willing to follow me."
she said with a smile,
"Whether I can do it in the future or not, but, at least, I want to do it in this direction."
Vinier laughed too.
"If you can think so, it means that you have taken the first step."
She showed a very emotional and gratified look.
"Princess, you have begun to grow."
Having said that, Emma's eyes rolled.
"Ah, I almost forgot, I have another very important wish."
She said, raising her hand to the already extremely distant coastline, as if swearing.
"No matter what, I must give birth to brother Garlan's child and make her the next Queen Elson!"
Vinier's eyeballs followed, and then she nodded in agreement.
"It's a good idea to make the future child of King Aaron Landis Queen of Elson."
"Not bad, right? Brother Garlan's child must be beautiful."
"Well, very good, as the king of Aaron Landis, he will definitely take care of his children."
"However, I always feel that he seems to treat me like a child..."
"It doesn't matter, princess, you will grow up soon."
"Well, in short, you have to become stronger first... Otherwise, there are so many people guarding Brother Garlan, and if he is not strong enough, it will be really difficult to grab him from those people..."
The shredded words fell into the white waves that the battleship set off as it moved.
On the traces of the white waves on the sea, countless Elson's battleships sailed into the depths of the sea facing the sun.
…
Thousands of years are enough to bury countless traces of history.
The mysterious Elson Island, and the legendary Elson female warriors, the traces of their existence have been annihilated under the long river of time.
No one knows whether they left or merged with other races. This mysterious race left no material and disappeared without a trace in history.
In later generations, the records about Elson's female warriors can only be glimpsed from the historical materials of Aaron Landis.
It is recorded in the history books that the ninth queen of Elson at that time was influenced by the 'wise king' of Aaron Landis, and made changes in Elson, who was closed to the country.
During her reign, the originally poor Elson country gradually became rich, and the living conditions of the Elson people were greatly improved.
Moreover, in the battle for hegemony on the continent at that time, she led the female warrior Elson to follow Aaron Landis to the north and south. In that world of great competition, among all the famous heroes and generals in the world, she was the only one. A woman listed among them for her valour and good combat skills.
There is also a record in the history.
The Queen Elson has been reluctant to have offspring for a long time... It was not until the age of thirty-six that she gave birth to a daughter, the tenth Queen Elson.
According to historical records.
During that period, the reign of the wise king made Aaron Landis's national power grow rapidly, and then its military force became stronger and stronger. united the entire continent.
At this point, Aaron Landis became a great empire.
This is also the origin of this continent, which is also called the continent of Aaron Landis.
And when this great empire, which caught the attention of the whole world, reigned on this continent, only two small nations were allowed to continue to be their own on this land.
One is Tasda on the ice and snow plateau in the north, and the other is Elson, an island country in the south.
