"Hey! Are you okay?" Regnar was really shocked when he saw No. 1 suddenly spurting blood. At first he thought someone was attacking them, but after a second of observation, he found that there was no one around. So what's the reason? Number One took poison? Could it be that the Assassination Department wanted to kill No. 1 for some reason, and No. 1 hated the Stoker Empire because of this, so he came to help him
So, what No. 1 means is to help her get revenge? Hmm... It's not that he can't consider it. Anyway, the two empires are at war, so even if he avenges No. 1, it's just a matter of convenience.
No. 1 waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. The blood had dyed her veil red, and No. 1 had no choice but to take off her veil.
Regnar couldn't help but be stunned when he saw No. 1's face, not because of how beautiful No. 1's face was. She is very beautiful, but compared with beauties of the level of Irene and Annelotte, she is still a little behind. According to Regnar's beauty standards, she can be on par with Inelise.
Regnar was dull for another reason. Because he discovered that this woman... was somewhat similar to him between her eyebrows!
Regnar himself has a relatively delicate appearance, and he looked a bit androgynous when he was a child. He still remembers that Vera made fun of him several times about this matter. Fortunately, as he grew older, Regnar's appearance gradually took on a masculine aura, so that people would not confuse his gender.
The appearance of No. 1 in front of him was so strange. When Regnar looked at her, he felt as if he was seeing a female version of himself. Her eyebrows are thinner, the bridge of her nose is straighter, and her mouth is smaller. But the overall face shape and expression are very similar to Regnar. If he changes his hair style to his own, Regnar will think he is looking in the mirror if he doesn't look carefully!
"You..." Regnar could only mutter one word as he looked at No. 1's appearance.
"This is the first time in the past few years that I have shown my true face to others." No. 1 sighed and said, "Don't worry, I won't use this appearance to do anything detrimental to you."
"Who are you?" Regnar couldn't help but ask, "Why are you helping me? Why do you look so similar to me? Why do you suddenly vomit blood? What on earth is going on?"
"..." No. 1 listened to what Regner said, but just shook his head.
"Tell me!" Regnar was going crazy.
No. 1 saw that if he didn't say something, Regnar would never give up. So she could only say helplessly: "I will help you because I am originally on your side."
"Are you from the Military Intelligence Agency? No, you're from the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild?!" Regnar's eyes flashed with vigilance.
"No." No. 1 shook his head: "I'm just on your side and have nothing to do with those guilds or anything else. I can't tell you what it is specifically, it's a rule."
“…”
"I look similar to you. This is just my own wish." No. 1 continued: "And how I did it is also a rule and cannot be said."
“…”
"As for why I vomited blood..."
Before No. 1 finished speaking, Regnar answered with all the black threads in his head: "It's also a rule, you still can't say it, right?"
"I can tell you this." No. 1 never seemed to intend for Regnar to figure out his next move. "I vomited blood because I broke the rules," she explained.
"Then can you tell me what the rules are?" Regnar then asked, and he added: "If it will hurt you, forget it."
"No." Number 1 shook her head, and she replied: "I know certain things, certain things that no one should know. This in itself is an offense against the rules... or fate, but it is just 'knowing' This level of offense is not enough for me to be punished. But I cannot say these things out, because once I say them out, something may be rewritten, and the impact will be caused by the person who rewrites it - That is to say, I have to bear it alone. So I was punished, that is, I had to bear the consequences of the impact."
"Oh~~~!" Regnar said as if he suddenly understood: "I didn't understand it at all..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." No. 1 shrugged. She first used magic to treat herself, and then said: "As long as you remember what I just said to you, you will understand it in the future. But I I advise you to hurry up, because time is really running out. He... is already halfway there."
"The founding war?" Regnar thought to himself, what happened at that time? Not only does Malloryt not want to mention this, but No. 1 will be punished inexplicably when he talks about it!
"I understand." Although he is still confused about the current situation, Regnar still plans to agree to the matter first. As for the inside story, it is better to find out slowly!
No. 1 nodded, she looked at Regnar, and then said: "You have to be careful in the Hawke Empire. Remember, sometimes your enemies are not only the Storks, they may be by your side." Appear."
"I will." Regnar looked at No. 1 in surprise, because her tone of voice when she spoke seemed to be very familiar to Regnar. What's even weirder is that this familiarity doesn't make Regna feel surprised or uncomfortable, as if she takes this for granted.
He frowned and thought about it, and then he was disappointed to find that his memory really didn't contain any information about No. 1. He even never remembers that he knew a person of the opposite sex who looked similar to him. Was it in childhood? Maybe you can only know this by asking the old man, but the old man is already dead.
Forget it, I can’t think clearly, I still don’t want to think about it anymore. Regnar lowered his head and looked at Shasha, who was still sleeping not far away, and then prepared to wake her up.
"Leave this child to me!" Number 1 said: "I will be responsible for sending her home."
"Are you so kind?" Regnar still didn't dare to completely trust No. 1.
"You can think that I'm jealous of her. I don't want her to stick to you anymore." Number 1 said as he walked over.
"..." Regnar was speechless.
No. 1 picked up Shasha and carried her on his back. Regnar looked at Shasha. Although the little girl had her eyes closed, she was breathing evenly and seemed to be really not too nervous. Do you trust yourself? Or did No. 1 use some soothing magic
Regnar couldn't judge, and he didn't want to judge. He just took out a small bag of coins from his space pocket and stuffed it into Shasha's pocket.
"Don't steal the money, I gave it to her." Regnar whispered.
"So I am so inferior in your eyes?" No. 1 said, pretending to be unhappy. It has to be said that temperaments do differ between people. Although the facial structure is similar, No. 1 looks very charming once he feigns anger. And if it were Regnar, he would probably look mean.
"I just don't want my help to go to waste." Regnar shrugged. He looked at Shasha and then said, "Just think of this as my salvation."
"You are less than twenty years old and you have killed so many people. Do you think you can be redeemed?" Number 1 asked in return.
"I don't care about the result, but I will do it." Regnar replied: "If I don't do this, I will feel even more uncomfortable. If I don't do this, I will no longer be the person in their hearts."
"Actually, I have also considered assassinating the three women around you." Number 1 suddenly said quietly.
"If you do this, you will definitely face my endless pursuit." Regnar turned his head and said in a serious and cold tone: "This is not a threat, it is just a statement. I will definitely do what I say. .”
"..." When No. 1 heard Regna's words, an imperceptible sadness flashed in her eyes. She looked at Regna and then nodded: "I knew you would do that, so I didn't do that. "
"As long as you understand." Regnar's tone slowed down.
"Then, goodbye." No. 1 carried Shasha on his back, then turned and left.
"Hey!" Regnar couldn't help shouting again, because he didn't know when he would see No. 1 again, so he thought it would be better to finish asking the question.
"What's wrong?" No. 1 stopped and turned around.
"Are you my sister?" Regnar hesitated and asked. After thinking for a long time, only the setting of sister was the most suitable for Number One.
After all, she had betrayed the country's norms for the person she had just met, and she had the same face as she imagined. Thinking about it this way, it would make sense if she was Regnar's biological sister. For example, due to some changes, the siblings were separated. One ran away to Melinder, and the other wandered in the thousand-year-old capital. And because of his age, No. 1, who had childhood memories, knew Regnar's identity, but Regner didn't know the existence of No. 1...
Regnar's imagination was so wild that he imagined a bloody romantic drama. He was even ready to accept such a sudden sister.
But No. 1 suddenly laughed: "Of course not."
"Really?" Regnar didn't believe it.
"It's really not!" No. 1 said with great certainty, and Regna could see it in her eyes. Either she wasn't lying, or she had acting skills that were even better than the best kabuki. But Regner didn't think it would be the latter.
"Well, take care of yourself." Regnar had no choice but to give up. He finally added: "If you can, help me take care of Sasha. I owe her this."
"I will." Number 1 had already continued walking at this time, and she did not look back when she answered.
Because of this, Regner didn't see No. 1's expression at this time at all. He could never imagine that No. 1, who had turned his back, suddenly started to cry. The woman who had always looked very cunning and whom Regnar had always been unable to figure out was now shedding silent tears.
"Really... it has completely disappeared. So should I continue chasing?" No. 1 thought silently in her heart, but after recalling the figure she once had, she still cheered up and walked firmly. Go down.
Even if this person is no longer you, even if this person is just a legacy of yours, I will continue to protect him. Because this is the only proof of your existence in this world...
