"Letter to Miss? Master's over there?"
"Yes, the president said that the eldest must tell me in person."
"I see. I have worked hard. Please take a good rest."
After softly soothing her rapid breathing, and successfully sending the news from the front line to the herald of the castle, Grace turned around and walked out of the corridor under the scorching gaze of many soldiers.
With her back to the soldiers who went to rest under the arrangement of the guards, the black-haired maid sighed silently, feeling a headache for what happened in the last six months.
Since the aliens changed their tactics half a year ago and caused the pressure on the human defense line to increase greatly, the coalition army has begun its first major increase in troops. As one of the several large nations of humanity, Rossi has naturally begun to respond.
It was at that time that Bruce, the patriarch of the Sorovia family, made an amazing decision to transfer Charlotte, who was dealing with domestic affairs in the rear, to the front line and directly participate in the battle as a coalition general. This can also be done. Said to be the beginning of everything.
Charlotte Sorovia, whose famous name spread all over the mainland, played a very good lead in the war. Under such an example, there were countless people who joined the army for a time. The students of the country of scholars also responded in groups, which made the United Army The conscription plan was completed beyond expectations, but in fact, everything is not as simple as the surface.
Bruce forced Charlotte to join the army, which seemed to play a leading role, but in fact it was forced to do so for other reasons. Grace, who gets along with Charlotte every day and night, knows this better.
Walking through the long corridor and entering the interior of the castle, the guards in front of the gate bowed their heads convincingly when they saw Grace, and saw that the maid wanted to enter the inner city, the general guarding the gate said nothing. Order directly in advance.
"It's Miss Grace, open the city gate!"
"Thank you, General Todd."
"No, no, no, last time on the battlefield, thanks to the general, you stopped it, otherwise Miss..."
"There is no need for generals or anything, let's call my name outside the battlefield, and the lady was just an accident that time."
"Yes, I was the one who made a mistake, please don't mind."
Looking at the man wearing heavy armor and bowing his head apologizing, Grace's unpleasant expression on her face calmed slightly, and she turned her head and entered the inner city under the salute of everyone.
The black-haired maid and the eldest Sorofia who served, these are the two commanders in Fort Richard, who are also the two source-level 2 masters officially awarded the title of general by the coalition army, but they have to What I'm saying is that the two people feel completely different to everyone.
Although Grace was indifferent, she was supported by everyone in the castle. As for the other top commander, the soldiers were more in awe of her than when she joined the army. Imagine completely different.
"At this time, Miss should be awake..."
Looking out the window at the sky close to noon, the black-haired maid muttered to herself somewhat unconfidently. She hurried up the stairs in the castle, looked at the door of the command room in the upper part of the building, and motioned to the two guards at the door. However, the answer was negative.
"Master Grace, Miss Charlotte is not here."
"... Well, I get it."
After nodding in frustration, the maid turned her head to continue walking into the castle.
By noon, she still didn't go to the headquarters. By virtue of this, Grace had already guessed the situation of her own lady. As a result, there was a lot of haze on the maid's face. She sighed, and she missed the girl from the past in her heart.
Walking quickly to the room where Charlotte was, and waved to the maid at the door to leave, Grace stretched out her hand and gently pushed the door open, but just after opening a gap, a strong alcohol rushed out of the room, above the ground. Several wine bottles of different colors fell randomly on the carpet, and the lids were not tightened.
"..."
Looking at the famous wine that had been thrown around, the black-haired maid had a melancholy look on her face, but after a moment of tangling, she closed the door again and stood at the door with a silent sigh.
In one year, everything has changed so much. Grace in the past never dreamed that her favorite lady would one day become like this.
Love destroys people. This is what many ancient poets once said, but for the present Charlotte Sorovia, this sentence is more appropriate.
One year ago, the Acatel attack was a turning point in Charlotte’s life. The girl before this was almost synonymous with perfection, noble and dignified, gentle and kind, and the beauty of love allowed her to bloom at her best age. The dazzling brilliance, even the princess in the story book cannot match.
However, no one could have imagined that a girl who grew up with love would eventually collapse because of love.
Charlotte was unable to arrive in time for the attack on Acate, who led to Roja’s disappearance a year ago. Although it was later proved that this had little effect on the final result, the girl with brown and red hair could not forgive herself. .
As a fiancée, she didn’t help her lover. This fact makes Charlotte very self-blame, but it’s just that the girl can hold back her worry and wait for Roja to return, but as time goes by and the news from the country of knights, the girl The situation began to change.
At first it was nightmares, followed by anxiety, nervousness, and inability to eat. It was not until half a year later that Roja was announced that his hope of survival was extremely slim. After the official search ceased, Charlotte's situation began to deteriorate sharply and he suffered a suicide. tendency.
After discovering this, Bruce immediately ordered Charlotte to receive treatment. However, the girl's affection was extremely deep, and any psychological counseling was of no effect. Even Master Andrew could not eliminate the grief in the girl's heart.
In order to prevent the girl from committing suicide, the Sorovia family had to put Charlotte under house arrest, but this was not a long-term solution. After the discussion, Bruce decided to transfer the girl to the front line and reactivated her with another negative factor. The heart of stagnant water.
That is hatred.
Roja’s death not only made Charlotte heartbroken, but also inevitably left a seed of hatred in her heart. Fog of the [six plagues] represented by the hatred of the [six plagues], while aliens obviously belong to the former.
Using hatred as a kind of fire may be able to relight Charlotte's heart. On the other hand, killing can indeed play a role in venting, and it may be helpful to psychological problems. Such considerations made Bruce do this. A gambling decision, and the facts proved that his choice was correct.
After coming to the front line, Charlotte’s symptoms were greatly alleviated. The girl who lost her lover hated the alien creatures of the savior’s camp. Revenge became the pillar of the girl. In the constant battle, Charlotte Te's own combat abilities have finally exploded, reaching Source Level 2 in just one year and becoming one of the new stars of humanity on the battlefield.
However, such hatred has also caused some problems. For example, Charlotte is often aggressive on the battlefield, causing the soldiers to fail to keep up with the rhythm. At this time, only Grace can persuade her, and therefore the soldiers in the castle. Great respect for Grace, and another more serious problem is alcoholism.
After coming to the front line, Charlotte did not have the thought of committing suicide for the time being, but revenge for the one he loved is actually a strengthening behavior of the past feelings to some extent. In fact, in her free time, Ge Lace often sees Charlotte looking at the ring in her hand with pain on her face.
In order to suppress the grief in her heart, the girl chose to use alcohol to numb herself. Grace was opposed to this, but she knew there was no other way, because for Charlotte, it was from the moment Roja left. , I am afraid that this world is already worse than death to her.
Grace stood quietly outside the door thinking in this way, and soon there was a slight noise in the room. The lady maid knocked on the door lightly when she saw this, and entered the room amidst Charlotte's answer.
"Good morning, Miss."
"... ... Um."
After greeted softly, the maid who entered the room opened the heavy curtains, the sun shone into the house, and the opened windows allowed the air in the room to circulate, and the wine wafting in the room slightly dissipated.
Half a bottle of famous wine spilled on the ground was shining in the sun, and the girl sitting up on the bed was silent. Compared with a year ago, Charlotte now has a pale face and a lot of weight loss. Health, nobility and elegance are different. Girls at this time have a sickly beauty.
Just like the weak princess in the story, or the noble daughter who has experienced catastrophes, Charlotte at this time is full of pity and temperament that people can’t help but want to protect. Only outwardly, it is with the past. It's hard to decide which one is better, but the emerald eye pupils are very different from the past.
Cold, indifferent, shining with reason, but without the slightest expectation or enthusiasm, this is Charlotte's current pupils, and every time she sees it, Grace feels a pain in her heart.
"Miss, breakfast..."
"I have no appetite, sorry."
"..."
Hearing Charlotte's soft reply, Grace couldn't help but darken her expression. In recent months, Charlotte could hardly eat anything except to numb her own wine. If it weren't for Source Level 2's body to absorb magic elements and operate, The girl is probably already dead.
Grace's task as a maid is to take care of Charlotte's daily life. However, since her love left, the girl actually has no life anymore. All that is left is pain and revenge.
"Grace, it was a bit noisy this morning, is there something wrong?"
"Ah, yes, miss, this is an urgent letter from the master, saying that you must personally open it..."
"Open it, just read it to me."
"... ... I see."
Hearing Charlotte's request, Grace hesitated for a moment and then took Charlotte's lacquered ring. After unwrapping the curse, he followed the order and opened the envelope, and a short letter appeared in front of her since then.
"To Charlotte, today, the Holy See sent an emergency contact. It is a letter written by Lord John of the Holy See. According to him, he has received the latest news from Roya Akat, and he is judged to be in the southeast of the Tucker Plain. Deep down, the Holy See is ready to organize rescue... Big, eldest!?"
"Snapped!"
Halfway through the letter, Grace couldn't help but raised her head excitedly, and in front of her, the brown-red haired girl froze in place, the cup full of water in her hand fell to the ground and broke.
"You, what did you say?"
"Miss! Lord Roja is still alive!"
"!"
Hearing Grace’s confirmation exclaim, Charlotte, who was pale, stumbled over. Ignoring the broken glass on the ground, she rushed to the maid’s face, and then slammed the letter and scanned it. A moment later, her body Began to tremble violently.
"...It's him, definitely him! Only he can activate this skill, it's really still alive...Woo!"
"Miss!"
Looking at the brown-haired girl who was soft and sobbed while she said so, Grace was deeply moved for a while. She pulled the chair and hugged Charlotte to it, and then relieved and helped to wipe it off. Tears.
"It's great, Miss, it's great, Lord Roja is still alive, so that everything can be done again..."
Recalling Charlotte’s pain in the last year, the black-haired maid couldn’t help but choked up, until a long time later, the brown-red-haired girl wiped her tears, forced herself to calm down, and read the letter in her hand again. , And his face gradually became serious.
"Wait, the letter says that he is in the depths of Tucker Plain and needs rescue..."
"...There is the base of the aliens, why did Lord Roja suddenly appear there? But this is troublesome now. Our strength was a bit severely damaged in the previous battle."
Recalling the content of the letter, worry appeared on the face of the black-haired maid. If you want to rescue Roja, high-end combat power is naturally necessary, but it is also essential to hold the aliens’ forces, but this is now. The most lacking aspect of Rose.
In the previous wars, Roussé's army was attrition severely, and now he can only defend. Once offensive, there will be a shortage of manpower.
"Miss, what shall we do?"
After estimating the required force, the black-haired maid looked worried, but the brown-red-haired girl was very calm. She put away the letter, raised her head and said lightly:
"What to do? It's very simple... Send someone back to the country immediately to contact the kings of the southern countries."
"Southern countries? You mean..."
"...Buy me all the troops in the east of the country south of Rosse!"
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
On the east front line, the girl with brown-red hair cried with joy at the news of the young man, while in the depths of the Tucker Plain, Roja watched the cursive power of the princess in the sky silently.
At this time, on the plain in front of Roja, a hundred-person alien scout team was riding a horse to flee towards the distance, and behind them was the death god who stretched its wings and harvested life.
Not long ago, Roja and Noelle were spotted by monsters in the sky. This can be said to be an accident, but after realizing this, Miss Angel immediately launched an attack and wiped out all the monsters with one blow. .
The monster died, but after some consideration, Noelle did not take Roja to transfer immediately, but instead left and pursued the owner of these monsters.
Although due to the long distance, these aliens did not find Roja and others, and did not even know the fact that the monster was dead in the investigation, but the death of the monster will eventually leave flaws and arouse suspicion. In order to buy more time for the teenager, The blond angel decided not to keep one and wiped everyone's existence.
After more than ten minutes of searching, Noelle found this reconnaissance unit. The enemy clearly felt Noelle's strength and directly began to flee in the direction of the main force. Unfortunately, the speed was far lower than Miss Angel's flight.
The galloping golden light headed away, and soon succeeded in stopping the enemy. In order to suppress the response of the curse and avoid being perceived by the nearby strong, Noelle did not choose a massive attack, but landed on the ground to end himself. In hand-to-hand combat, monsters fell to the ground and died in the shadow of the sword, and the desperate roar continued.
Although for the girl who has reached Source Level 2, these enemies are as weak as children, but it took nearly half an hour to solve all of them. When Noelle returned to the alien outpost where Roja was located, time was already It's sunset.
After dark, because of Noelle's light wings, the two were easily spotted flying in the sky, so they couldn't move fast anymore. As for running overnight, considering Roja's body, this kind of sleepless day and night is not realistic.
In desperation, the two could only rest at night, and the outpost for aliens became the best choice on this vast plain.
"Welcome back, are you finished?"
"Well, it's all solved. With the ability of [Angel King], their bodies are almost completely disintegrated."
"That's it, your bloodline ability can already do this level?"
"Well, over the past year or so, I have improved a lot. Maybe I am better than you now?"
"Hahaha."
It's really possible.
Looking at Noelle who said this, the black-haired boy smiled with a guilty conscience. Although the power of the king clan is almost unmatched at the same level, the Son of Destiny like Noelle is an exception, such as the last two. People are the duel in source level 3, and Roja desperately tried to wake her up.
"Anyway, hard work, thanks to you, otherwise our position will be completely exposed."
"It's not hard work, after all, this is also to protect myself.
"Indeed, although it is a projection, the damage will be returned to the body, right"
"Well, and other than that... I did this so that I wouldn't be disturbed for a while."
"Hey?"
Roja, who was about to go back to look at the food cooked in the house, was stunned when he heard Noelle's words like this. He turned around and found that Miss Angel had squinted his eyes for some time, and a familiar happy smile appeared on his face.
Um? and many more! This expression...
After fighting wits and courage for many years, the resistance went deep into his bones. Roja, who had reached the conditioned reflex level, retreated subconsciously after seeing Noelle's smile, but was blocked when he just started.
"Where are you going?"
The blonde girl said so and spurred her curse power suddenly, and suddenly pulled the chains that emerged in the air. The defenseless Roja was dragged down in one breath under this surprise attack, and then fell into Noelle. In the arms.
"In the face of the lord who has returned from victory, you want to escape, is this your way of the ruler? Acting Marquis Loya?"
Looking at the black-haired boy with twitching cheeks, the princess held the golden chain in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth with such a mockery. Seeing Noelle like this, Roja looked helpless, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:
"His Royal Highness, this is a misunderstanding. I just want to see the pot in the house. After all, it is a rare supply. I think preparing food is the best reward I can do now."
"Food? So that's it...that's really good."
Hearing Roja’s excuse, the blonde girl couldn't help smiling. She looked at the black-haired boy and nodded deeply, then narrowed her eyes and said softly:
"I will accept your kindness and eat everything up."
