"Go away! Dirty beggar!"
Someone pushed her hard, but she didn't move. Instead, she watched the other side stumble back two steps.
The arrogant look suddenly disappeared from his face, and after glaring at her, the other party left in a daze.
Unmoved, she continued to move into the crowd. Seeing this woman in tattered clothes, most people frowned to avoid it. In this way, she slowly moved to the inner city gate of the Royal Capital of Greycastle.
It is already crowded here. Although there are no traditional walls and gates in the inner city, a symbolic gate made of wooden slats and garlands was erected here. On either side of the door stood neatly a row of warriors in full-body armor, the delicate armor reflecting a dazzling sheen in the sunlight. The eagle-shaped hollow armor with wings ready to fly on the shoulders and the iris flower decoration hanging on the chest, matched with the handsome faces of the warriors, made a group of wealthy women shout.
The uniform red fluffy cloaks behind the warriors dragged all the way to the ground, looking like a red partition wall from a distance. It was these handsome and mighty warriors who divided the crowd, leaving a road several feet wide behind the gate.
The flags were fluttering beside the road, and many long strips of golden flags hung down from the top of the flagpole, which gave a very solemn feeling. The flag is embroidered with many different patterns, the most common of which is the tower spear. She knew that this pattern represented the Graycastle royal family and was the organizer of today's ceremony.
Today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the Fifth Princess Tilly Wimbledon.
As early as a week ago, this incident had been publicized and the whole city knew it. In addition to the local nobles in Greycastle, many envoys from other kingdoms also came. They carry gifts and marriage contracts, hoping to be favored by the five princesses.
The church will also send a bishop to preside over the ceremony for her, which will be held in the Plaza of Dawn in the center of the city. At that time, the royal family will distribute meat porridge and thick soup, which is also the reason for attracting so many people.
But she didn't come for the food.
Her target is the Archbishop.
Presumably killing an archbishop in the public eye of the royal capital will definitely bring shame to the church and damage its majesty. This sweet taste of revenge always excited her. She touched her chest, and there was a stolen short knife hidden there. Although it was of poor quality, it was enough to kill a mortal.
At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd, interrupting her thoughts. She looked into the inner city, and the Kingdom Knights lined up slowly and slowly. The knights walking in the front were dressed brightly, and behind them raised their cloaks with red bottoms and gold edges, like clusters of dancing flames.
Behind the knight is a carriage pulled by four horses in parallel. The emblem of the Royal Family of Greycastle is engraved on the wall of the carriage, and the wheels and frame are plated with gold. A bright red pennant was flying on the roof, and silk satin embroidered with gold threads hung from the four corners of the carriage. At first glance, the entire team seemed to be a moving golden ocean.
The flow of people accompanied the motorcade to the Dawning Square, and she was also mixed in the crowd. After entering the outer circle of the square, the inner circle was isolated by the guards. Only the nobles could watch the ceremony up close. She estimated that it only took a few breaths to rush over. As long as the archbishop climbed to the square, it would be impossible to escape from her hands.
The royal children jumped out of the carriage one after another. It was probably the five children of Wimbledon III who walked slowly to the central stage.
Among these people, she saw the fifth princess, Tilly Wimbledon.
There is no doubt that the five princesses are the protagonists of today. Her eyes are bright and transparent like gems; the simple parted bangs are matched with refreshing gray long hair without any embellishments; Among them, it is particularly outstanding; the dress patterns on her body are not complicated, and it is perfectly matched with her temperament. And the most incredible thing is that she actually cast her gaze beyond the layers of the crowd and directly on herself. Then, she nodded slightly as if to say hello, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
This is definitely not an illusion. In an instant, she has the same feeling. This feeling is very intimate, like friends who have known each other for many years, soft and sweet. It does not come from the identification of blood, identity or status, but from the resonance of... magic.
Unconsciously, she let go of the grip of the knife, and quietly watched the woman on the stage.
After the ceremony, two guards found her and wanted to bring her into the palace.
As long as there is a desire to refuse, the guards cannot stop her. But she didn't ask anything, followed the two into the inner city, and finally entered the magnificent palace from a side path.
In a secret room in the palace, she stood in front of the five princesses.
… I see.
What an unfortunate story, it turns out that you ended up in Greycastle like this.
Don't worry, you don't have to wander anymore, just stay with me.
I'll give you a good make-up and make sure they won't recognize you again.
I inquired, the monastery was destroyed by fire and all the children were missing. The entire building is left in ruins and ash.
Did you have a name before
If that's the case, I'll call you Ashes.
…
Ashes opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Maisie's face.
The other party first blinked, then hugged him, "You finally woke up!"
She tried to move her fingers, but she didn't experience the expected weakness or numbness, and there was no severe pain in her waist.
"How long have I been in a coma?"
"One afternoon," Maisie said, "Nana said that as long as you're cured, you can wake up at any time. But at this time, your body will be very tired, so let's take a rest for a while. It's much better for your energy recovery if you wake up."
Ashes patted Maisie on the head, slowly sat up from the bed, opened her clothes, and found that her abdomen was intact. The huge wound is like a nightmare, and it disappears after waking up.
"How did she... treat me?"
"I guess you don't want to know," Maisie curled her lips and said after seeing Ash's persistent eyes, "they scattered you... er, collected some of it, filled it into your stomach, and then Nana used magic to put it back together. They came back to their original shape. Lightning said that the more parts she collected, the faster she healed. If the limb was completely missing, she couldn't get it back."
Ash felt goosebumps popping up, "The dirt and grass clippings on it also..."
"After the wound healed, the dirt was expelled outside, and her ability seemed to be able to tell what was useful and what was not."
She breathed a sigh of relief, rolled over and got out of bed, trying to feel the strength of her body. As a result, as Nana said, when she woke up, not only did she not feel weak, but she felt stronger than ever.
Ash put on a black robe, looked at the sky outside the window, and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Maisie asked.
"Seeing His Royal Highness." She said without looking back. (.)
