"Are you crazy?"
After hearing Daphne's request, Xiaya was stunned and silent for a while, and then immediately shouted without hesitation, staring at Daphne with sharp eyes: "... Or, you just want to Begging for death? If you want to die easily, you don’t need to go back to the capital so troublesome, I’ll just pull a rope for you, and you can strangle yourself to death at any time!”
When he said this, his tone was a bit vicious. Daphne was lying on the bed, his slender body flinched slightly. The woman has already sat up, her hands are holding her knees, her head is on her knees, those charming eyes are looking at Xia Ya without blinking.
Daphne didn't speak, and Xiaya's anger was like a punch in the air.
He gasped angrily, then took a deep look at Daphne and took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's your rudeness."
"At this time, Xia Ya, are you still telling me about the number of monarchs and ministers?" Daphne finally spoke, his tone was soft and still desolate.
"... You already know." Xia narrowed his eyes: "You know, the person who poisoned you was... "
"I see." Daphne's face was pale, and even her rosy lips looked a little bloodless. She bit her lip and whispered, "I see, he wants me to die!"
"Then you want to go back?" Xia Ya said in a lost voice.
"Xia Ya, you don't understand." Daphne stared at Xia Ya, word by word, his voice was very soft, but his tone was very dignified: "Behind me, after all, there is a family! There is also a family called 'Mi Nas' noble surname!"
Shaya didn't speak.
"I am the queen, and also a member of the Minas family! He wants me to die, I can die! But I can't die outside the imperial capital! As the queen, I must die in the imperial capital, even if it is a poor excuse, But I must die in the imperial capital, in the palace, or 'die of illness' or 'accidentally fall to death', then even if I die, I will still be the queen, and I can still bring my family, my surname Glory! However, if I die out of nowhere, without even... even a clear statement... Char, do you understand how this will affect my family? This will make my surname unrecognizable. shame!!"
To be honest, although Char can understand the meaning of Daphne's words - but he can't really understand.
After all, things like the so-called family glory are still a little far from our native turtles. He is just alone, with no heavy family halo or title behind him, and no one wants him to bear the responsibility of winning glory for any family... Of course, except for the Tulip family that founded the country, although it can be confirmed now, Ninety percent of the dead old alcoholics were descendants of the Tulip family, but Xi Ya did not intend to "inherit the father's business" to restore the glory of the Tulip family.
In fact, he even suspected that even the old alcoholic himself might not be too impressed with this so-called mission.
He has never been burdened or bound by any family or anything like that. Perhaps, when he becomes famous, he may create a great and glorious family, but, at least for now, the turtle is very fortunate that he does not have to carry such a heavy burden.
"...So you're going back, you're going back to Osgilia, and then back to the palace, and quietly waiting for that rabbit to kill you?"
In addition to being annoyed, Xiaya even said the word "rabbit" in his mouth without any scruples.
"I will accept these, this is my destiny." When Daphne said this, his heart seemed ashes.
"Fuck your mother's fate!" Xia suddenly yelled at Daphne: "I tell you! Woman! In this world, I can trust everything, but there are only a few things, but I have always put my trust in it. They treat them like bullshit! First, God! Second, what bullshit fate you said! Never, never, never!! There is never any destiny! It's just a cowardly poor bastard, just an excuse for himself!"
Xia Ya was extremely annoyed, like an angry lion, walking back and forth in the room a few times, waiting for Daphne on the bed, and said viciously: "Don't think about it! Don't even think about it!! You are Lao Tzu's guest, I Sending you out to die, what kind of person has I become?! Besides, you are Adeline's friend. If I send you to die helplessly, that woman won't fight for me! If you die, she'll probably kill me. My eyes are crying blind!! You want to die cowardly, but I don’t want to be laughed at! If I throw you out to die, what will others think of me?!”
"My life or death has nothing to do with you!!" Daphne suddenly didn't know where the courage came from, and shouted out to Xia Ya. She clenched her fists and looked at Xia Ya without fear.
"Aha! You're angry?" Xia laughed angrily: "Yes! That's right! Okay! It's such a look, such a temper!! It's such a courage! You should put this kind of courage in peace. On top of that shitty struggle of fate you said! Instead of staring at me here, with your saviour!"
"You don't understand! Xia Ya, you don't understand at all!!"
Daphne suddenly seemed to have collapsed!
Tears filled her eyes quickly, and then she burst into tears, her crying voice was desolate, and her voice was even shrill.
"You don't understand! Char! You don't understand!!" Daphne's voice trembled, his voice choked: "Who am I? I'm Daphne Minas!! I'm the daughter of Duke Minas! I Born into the most noble family in the world! I am an aristocrat who is envied by everyone. Since I was thirteen years old, all the men who see me will show desire and greed in the eyes of me!! Some of them are greedy for me Beauty, some are greedy for my family background! I eat and use the most luxurious and exquisite things! I can get the most expensive jewelry in the world! The carriage I ride can be reached by a wheel of a medium-sized family All the income of a year of hard work! A piece of my jewelry can buy a half-block house in the imperial capital! I attend the most high-end banquets and the most high-end places, and everyone's eyes will be on me, I was born It's as if someone has put on a halo! Everyone will say, look! Look! That's Miss Daphne! The daughter of Duke Minas! The most noble girl in the entire Imperial City! The most beautiful woman in the entire Imperial City !! I have everything!! Yes, everything! Char, do you understand! Everything!! Men love me, women are jealous of me! Everything I want, as long as I speak, someone will immediately hold me in front of me !! Char, can you imagine such a life? Can you imagine such a scene? You are envious, aren’t you? Hahahaha…”
The woman began to laugh softly, with a bit of nervousness in her laughter.
Xia Ya took a deep breath, he didn't speak, he just quietly looked at the tears on the woman's face.
"Yes! Anything, as long as I want, someone will bring it to me. When I'm not happy, someone will try to please me in every way, you know? The chef who is dedicated to serving me is only responsible for giving me. There are six of me who make desserts! The salary of each of them is even higher than that of a mid-level officer in the army! The tailor who is responsible for making my dresses has a team! Char, you can imagine what it is like life?!"
Xia Ya still didn't speak, just looked at Daphne's eyes, which had gradually softened a lot, showing a bit of pity.
"Before I was fifteen, I was very happy! I thought I was the happiest person in the world! I could get everything I wanted! But soon I found out that I thought Everything, how ridiculous!"
"I am very beautiful, and almost all men who see me will compliment my appearance! The maids, servants, my teachers, my personal maids, they will compliment my appearance almost every day! The men I meet will use that Look at me like that! I used to fantasize about my future like an ordinary young girl! Yes! I fantasized, I fantasized about it! I also fantasized about a man in my bedroom late at night In the garden outside the window, he sang to me with roses in his mouth! I also imagined that at a grand banquet, a man danced with me and stared at me with affectionate eyes! I also imagined that when he went on an expedition, he would use He embraced me with strong arms and told me that he would come back alive for me! I also imagined that in a grand triumphal ceremony, my man would gather all the glory of the world, and then declare to the world that I am in his heart My love!!"
When he heard the last sentence, Tu Turtle suddenly blushed.
"But all the fantasies were broken when I was fifteen!!" Daphne's voice suddenly dropped from excited to low, as if she was still smiling softly, her cheeks still hanging With tears in her eyes, she said softly: "When I was fifteen years old, I was like an ordinary girl, and I had a longing for love. At that time, I met a man. At a banquet, he was a child of a middle-class aristocrat in the south. , he is very gentle and polite, he never speaks as flamboyantly as other young nobles, and when he looks at me, he never shows naked desire, he writes to me, writes about himself The love poems I created... Yes, I am tempted, I have really been tempted, I think, every young girl in this world, at that age, has had some objects that made their hearts go."
Speaking of which, Daphne suddenly paused, and she took a deep breath: "Then, it was my dear father who broke my fantasies with his own hands!"
She continued to cry, shedding tears as she spoke with a smile: "My father found something, and he had a conversation with me, and he warned me that these things had to stop immediately, and then be over. He told me that I had no right to be myself. Choose these things! He told me that he had already decided my future destiny for me, and he had decided for me who my husband should be. My husband will be the crown prince, the future emperor of the empire! The Minas family must be the same as the royal family. Marriage! Yes, that's what he said to me at the time, he said 'the Minas family must marry the royal family'!! Yes, family! It's family! But it's my own love, my own Marriage! Why let the 'family' decide my own affairs?! At that time I didn't understand, I didn't understand, I even tried to resist. But soon I found out, I understood, everything is impossible at all Yes! The man I once fell in love with, disappeared very quickly. He was warned by his father or someone else. His family was afraid, and he himself was afraid, and soon disappeared from my sight completely. , I don't even know where he went. It wasn't until a few years later when I became a queen that I saw his shadow at an accidental banquet. The eyes he looked at me were no longer the ones that once moved my heart things, but with panic, even with fear!!”
"Since I was fifteen years old, my father warned me, and then soon, an important thing was announced to the outside world. The Minas family and the royal family were married, and I will be the future wife of the crown prince! Yes! Look! The imperial capital is the most noble. The noble girl, the most beautiful girl, will marry the most powerful man in the empire! Marry the future emperor of the empire!! Sounds like a beautiful thing! But I had never seen mine at that time. A future husband! I only heard all the bad rumors about him... No one asked me if I was willing, no one cared about my will! Since then, my love has died before it was born Now! No man has ever shown admiration for me anymore, and all looked at me with awe... oh yes, and some pity and mockery! Yeah! So what's noble! So what's beautiful! They are laughing at me, laughing at the most noble and beautiful woman in the imperial capital, but marrying a man who only likes men!! I cried, fought, struggled, resisted... But my powerful father, he wiped it out All my will! The maid who was willing to help me escape from home was found by my father and ordered to be caned to death! If I went on hunger strike, he ordered the chef to be punished! He sent an etiquette teacher to teach me court etiquette and teach me Everything that a queen should know in the future! How do I talk, how to walk, how to sit, and even how to eat! And all of this is because... because 'the family needs me to do this'! Xiaya, do you understand! !"
"I seem to have all the auras of this world, rich, noble, beautiful... But I have no love! I am a woman! I have no lover of my own! Even my maid can be with the groom at home she loves. Tryst, get married, have kids! I don't, I don't have that kind of power! I'm like a commodity with a label that warns everyone to stay away from me because I'm already 'sold'!"
"Yes, I found out I was so naive! Everything I have is just for the fancy packaging of my product! All my beautiful clothes, my expensive jewelry, my food, my food , are the best, just to package me into a gorgeous commodity, and finally sell it to the royal family! My father, I thought he loved me! But he sold me with his own hands! His biological daughter, the only daughter, was sold as a commodity! Sell me for the glory of the family!!"
"He warned me, scolded me, and finally even pulled off the shelf to beg me! He said he had no other way, he had no choice! He had to sacrifice me for the sake of the family, and he tried to make me understand, so that I could Understand his difficulties, let me accept all this! He told me that my sacrifice can be exchanged for the long-term peace of the family! My sacrifice can be exchanged for the future of my brother Roddy! My sacrifice can make Minas this The surname will continue to maintain the halo of the empire's first-class giants! Family! Everything is for the family!!"
Everything is for the family...
Xia Ya recited this sentence silently in her heart.
"I have already accepted my fate, I can't resist all this, I can only accept it silently! Since I'm already doomed to be a tragedy anyway, then I can only exchange my sacrifice for greater value. I want to consider my family, if I If I must die, then let my blood cast the last halo on the title of the family! Because... this is my destiny at all!"
Xia was shocked.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Xia Ya was completely shocked.
For a long time, in Xiaya's eyes, this woman named Daphne was beautiful, noble, and her words and deeds carried the elegance, generosity, and restraint of the wealthy and extravagant... It even made people feel a little awe-inspiring.
But at this moment, this woman was right in front of him, crying unbridled, complaining bitterly, the original noble and reserved temperament was gone. Daphne in front of him is just a woman.
Very simple, at this moment, she is just a woman, a helpless, sad, painful, weak, helpless woman!
After a little hesitation, Xia Ya sighed, took out a silk scarf, walked to the bed, and gently handed it over.
The silk scarf was handed in front of Daphne, but Daphne didn't take it. She raised her eyelids and glanced at the powerful arm that was stretched out. She suddenly seemed to be a helpless person who fell into the water and suddenly hugged her hands fiercely. He grabbed Xia Ya's arm, hugged the arm tightly in his arms, hugged it tightly, and then the whole person's weight rested on Xia Ya's arm, and finally, Daphne began to howl cry!
She cried so loudly, so sadly, and so desperately, as if she wanted to vent all the pain she had accumulated in her heart over the years at this moment.
She hugged Xia Ya's arm so tightly that even Xia Ya could feel the young woman's soft chest against the skin of her arm...
But at this moment, Xia Ya didn't have any evil thoughts in her eyes, she just looked at this woman very seriously, and there was a kind of sincere pity in her eyes.
He slowly stretched out the other hand and slowly landed on Daphne's hair, gently stroking and comforting.
I don't know how long Daphne has been crying. Even Xiaya is surprised. She is surprised that women can have so many tears...
Finally, the crying gradually weakened, Daphne's voice became smaller and smaller, she was extremely tired, and her movements gradually weakened.
"Okay, okay, take a rest." Xia said softly in his softest voice as much as possible: "Everything will pass, soon."
"Please, Xiaya, please... Please..." Daphne was probably too tired, her voice was a little vague.
Char originally thought that Daphne would say something like "please help me".
But Daphne's next words were: "Please, send me back, send me back to Osgilia... make my sacrifice worthwhile... please..."
Finally, the young woman was tired, she was so tired. Such a huge vent just now made her physically and mentally exhausted, all her energy had been exhausted, and all her spirit had dried up.
Xia Ya sighed, the hand stroking back and forth on her hair, slowly fell to the back of Daphne's neck, and then pressed it secretly and gently in one place.
The girl finally fell silent. Her body fell down softly, and she crooked into Xia Ya's arms, and then her breathing began to calm down.
Xiaya sighed and laid Daphne flat on the bed, and even carefully spread her hair beside the pillow, fearing that she would not sleep comfortably, and finally pulled up the quilt to cover her.
Seeing that the girl had fallen into sleep, tears were hanging on her face, and her eyes were all red. There was still a tight frown in the eyebrows, faintly with the sadness of waking up.
"Get a good night's sleep."
Xia Ya stood up, stood by the bed, looked at the sleeping girl, and said slowly in a very calm but serious tone.
"I promise you, everything you said... won't happen again! It won't!"
Saying that, Xia Ya was about to turn around and leave, but when he moved, he suddenly found his hand...
Daphne, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to be still like a helpless child, holding Xia Ya's wrist tightly with one hand, as if someone who fell into the water was holding the last straw. Even when he fell asleep, his fingers never loosened.
Xia Ya tried to pull out her hand, but the girl's grip was too tight, and Xia Ya was afraid that if she forcibly broke it apart, Daphne, who had just fallen asleep quietly, would wake up again.
The Turtle hesitated for a while, finally gave a wry smile, twisted half of his body, then pulled a chair from the side of the bed, and sat on the side of the bed like this, his arms still keeping the same posture.
Not long after Xi Ya sat down, Daphne, who was sleeping, seemed to sense something... Probably he could feel the breath of Xi Ya when he was sleeping.
She actually turned over, moved her body towards the bedside, and tried to get as close as possible to Xia Ya who was sitting beside the bed, still holding Xia Ya's wrist, but when she turned over, the soft hair was already scattered around her. On the delicate face, there were some hairs that were tickled on Xia Ya's arms.
Charya smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked the hair that was scattered on Daphne's face.
"Well, it won't happen again."
