As if the tears had dried up, the Queen's expression was extremely calm.
After Hei left, there were only Alaya and the queen left in the empty and devastated land.
The ruins of the royal palace were under their feet, and it was still full of broken walls and ruins.
The queen stood up unsteadily, and said softly:
"Whether it's happiness or splendor and prosperity, it's gone in a blink of an eye."
Now she is not as full of girlish air as when she was with Qingyun, nor is she like the image of a graceful and luxurious queen in ordinary times. When Aleya looked at her face, she looked a lot older all of a sudden. The crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are clearly visible, and the hair on the sideburns has become snow-white as if covered with frost and snow.
She stood up, dusted off her clothes, and then walked towards a pile of towering ruins.
As he walked, three feet of white silk fell out of his sleeves, one end was held in his hand, and the other end was dragged on the ground.
Alaiya stood up involuntarily, wanting to keep the queen, but didn't know how to speak.
After much deliberation, he finally said:
"Don't you want to see how Master's sword energy will affect the capital?"
The queen paused, turned her head, smiled and said:
"Don't look. What he did was right. In the future, there will definitely be more than one great swordsman with the tenth level of swordsmanship."
After finishing speaking, she lowered her eyelids and added in a melancholy tone:
"But the one who was willing to stay in the royal capital for me for more than ten years is no longer here... I made an agreement with him that we can't be together in this life, and we will die in the same place. He left before me, and I must hurry up just a little bit... ”
Alayya watched the queen climb up a high ruin, tied the two sections of white silk together, and then tied them to the protruding corners of the ruins. Then she put the white silk around her slender and round neck, and sat on the edge of the ruins.
The wind blew her hair, the queen smiled softly, and jumped down with a happy expression.
Bai Ling tightened, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly.
Her body was swaying in the air, as if breaking the barely maintained balance of the ruins, the whole high platform piled up with broken walls collapsed, and the queen's body was buried in a pile of gold bricks and green tiles. Blood flowed out from the cracks in the ruins, like flowers blooming in the wilderness.
At that moment, Alaya suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
She remembered that when she first started practicing swords, her physical fitness was poor, and she was often out of breath by the young master, and it was difficult to persevere. At that time, the young master would walk up to her with a smile on his face, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly:
—"If someone cuts off my head in the future, and you look helpless on the sidelines. It's probably because you failed to complete the training today and didn't become strong enough... believe it?"
Alaya didn't know why, every time the young master said that, the scene that the young master described would appear in her mind. And once she saw that scene, no matter how exhausted she was, she could grit her teeth and endure the pain for a while longer. She didn't know what that emotion was. The whole point of her practice of swords was to protect the young master. In other words, she gave Lied her entire life and never asked for anything in return.
Does she like the young master? She doesn't know it herself.
Does the young master like her? She didn't know it herself.
Looking at the blood flowing on the ground, Alaya suddenly understood the reason why she didn't try to keep the queen. Because if one day the young master died in front of her, she would leave everything in this world without hesitation and leave with him. A world without a young master is meaningless, and a future without a young master has nothing to do with her.
But for some reason, she felt inexplicably wanting to cry now.
Before, except for the young master, no one had ever shown such cordial concern for her. Yuxi City is very good, but she has never liked talking very much, and she doesn't communicate much with everyone. Although her life is quite happy, no one has ever regarded her as a confidant, and no one has ever persuaded her to actively pursue love.
She really wanted to ask Qingyun and the queen, whether they were satisfied with this ending.
She also wanted to ask them what she should do in the future.
What is the feeling accumulated in this chest, who should I tell this thought that I have never had before.
Is it true that the world is impermanent, the people you really love are doomed not to be together, and even watching each other is just a luxury? If it is really so cruel, then one day in the future, I will probably have to separate from the young master.
For Alaiya, Qingyun and the Queen are the first love story she has fully witnessed. The scene of Qingyun's body turning into powder and the queen committing suicide with a white silk was completely engraved in her mind, and it became a lingering shadow in her heart.
But at this moment, a butterfly flew across the sky and the earth.
Pure white butterflies, about half the size of a palm, passed her eyes with white brilliance, chasing each other, and dancing between the sky and the earth. Alaiya suddenly remembered what the young master once said. He said that unsatisfactory couples in the world will turn into butterflies and fly in pairs in the vast world after death.
Didn't expect to see it.
The two butterflies are so dependent on each other, flying towards the vast sky.
It should be to watch what they can't let go of. Although Alaiya didn't know what they couldn't let go of.
But at this moment, her mood calmed down a lot.
Because she felt the kindness from heaven and earth.
Just as she looked at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief, a strong wind suddenly blew.
The strong wind blinded her eyes, but she couldn't help worrying about the butterfly that had just taken to the sky. As soon as the wind stopped, Alaya immediately looked up to the sky.
Then, it was found that the pair of butterflies flew back from a distance quickly.
They circled around Alayah, their tentacles colliding constantly. Alaiya tried to walk a few steps, but no matter where she went, the two butterflies followed her, and when she stopped, they flew around her, occasionally landing on her shoulders , snuggle together.
She showed her love to Alaiya, who has been single throughout her life so far.
Alaya stared at them blankly for a while, showed a faint smile, and said softly:
"Then follow me... if the young master agrees."
Two butterflies are on her shoulders, never to leave.
…
Although the world is vast, there seems to be nowhere to go.
Accompanied by each other, everywhere is a fairyland on earth.
In contrast, the girl who knows nothing about love and the boy who has not yet revealed his heart, it seems that the journey is full of hardships, which is more worrying, isn't it
Then stay. After all, he is still his half-disciple, so he has to help. In case some coquettish woman wants to compete with Alaya for Lide in the future, and plans to rely on scheming and wrist to step on Alaya's position—
Qingyun and the Queen, who have read all the prosperity in the world, will definitely teach her how to be a human being.
