Early in the early winter morning, mother called Rousey and Snig to bed.
"I may not be able to spend the next winter solstice with you guys," her voice was so weak that she could hardly hear clearly, "I will go to your father soon, and after I leave, you will rely on each other, It’s hard to be the same.”
Rosey took her mother's hand and put her arms around her sister's shoulders: "Well, we will be together forever."
Sniger also said with red eyes: "As long as we live, we will be together forever."
The mother smiled weakly: "No, actually...you will leave each other one day. You always have your own life, so this kind of parting is not sad. Even if you go on different paths, you will always be close relatives connected by blood .”
When the first snow fell, mother left them forever. The siblings buried her under her favorite poplar tree.
During the winter solstice, Rosey was going to perform tricks at the festival at Silver Falcon Castle. People were intoxicated in the celebration, but he had no intention of enjoying himself, so he could only force himself to smile.
Sniger looked at her brother enviously: "It would be great if I also have this kind of talent. I also want to conjure a glowing golden tree. If I can help, you will be much more relaxed, Rosie."
During the days when it was snowing heavily, the brothers and sisters did not go out. Rosey tried to teach Snig the tricks she had mastered, tried to make her listen to the noise of many elements in the air... But Snig couldn't learn it anyway.
From winter to spring, and year after year in Luoyue Mountains, Luo Sai's tricks continued to improve. A few years later, he was able not only to perform illusions, but also to use this occult technique in hunting. He silenced the sound of his footsteps, secretly hypnotized the prey from a distance, and then walked over to kill it with ease.
One evening in early summer, Rosey met an old man with brown skin on the mountain road. The nearby mountain people know that people with this appearance come from the other side of the mountain range. Sago's geography refers to them as people from the Western Desert, and ordinary people simply call them barbarians.
The barbarian old man speaks the Common Tongue fluently. He said that there was a natural disaster on the other side of the mountain, and the prey was really scarce, so he ventured over the ridge like a moat, and came here to hunt to try his luck. He has been paying attention to Rosey for a long time, because Rosey is just like him—the power that can control elements flows from his body.
The old man said, in fact, you are more talented as a warlock than me. I just have a little more experience than you. After I teach you the trick of controlling power, you will be able to move forward by yourself in the future.
In this way, the old man became Rousey's temporary mentor. Luo Sai's progress could be described as rapid, and after just a few months, his spellcasting ability almost surpassed the old man's. Before winter, the old man bid farewell to the young warlock and returned to the other side of the mountains.
Hearing that this winter will be extremely cold, Rosie and Sine hoarded a lot of dried meat and vegetables in the cellar to reduce the number of times they went out in winter.
One night, the brothers and sisters were awakened by a hasty knock on the door. People outside shouted: "Please help me! I am a knight of Silver Falcon Castle, not a bad guy!"
Opening the door, there was a knight standing outside. He was tall and handsome, with light blond hair reflecting the moonlight, and thin snowflakes on his shoulder armor.
The brother and sister asked the knight to come in to keep warm, and the three chatted around the stove. The knight told them about his experience: he and his comrades were on a routine patrol, and the time to return to the team was delayed because of the heavy snow. It was getting darker and darker. By chance, they walked into the depths of the forest and encountered a brown bear with cubs ... In the chaos, he and his teammates were separated. If he hadn't seen the fire in the hut, he might have frozen to death in the forest.
Early the next morning, the knights left their home. Rousey acted as his guide and sent him safely back to the road.
A few days later, the knight came back again, this time he didn't get lost, and he came here specially to thank the siblings. His subordinates pulled a mule cart, and the cart was full of gifts: warm clothes with silk lining, colorful woven blankets, fruits that were very rare in this season...all things that ordinary farmers and hunters could not afford. In addition, he also brought a few things that made Sniger happy: skin care balm, petal soap, gemstone brooch and necklace, rose-colored dress... everything is very delicate, Sniger I just don't know which one to look at first.
The knight did not ignore Rosey, he gave Rosey a set of exquisite bows and arrows, and a pair of soft sheepskin gloves. He said to Rose: "I heard that you are a hunter, so you should be able to use bows and arrows. As for gloves... I found that your hands are very beautiful, even more delicate and slender than your sister's hands. Such hands should not be used for hunting. And exposed to severe cold."
Rosey didn't take the bow and arrow, but happily put on the soft leather gloves. Trimmed with thin silver lines, it's cut from soft black leather that's cut to hug your hands so it's thin and warm without compromising finger movement.
He told the knight that he didn't know how to wield a sword at all, and that hunting depended on other skills. It was a fine day, so Rousey took the knight to the nearby woods and showed him his talent.
The knight was amazed. He had learned about sorcerers in his school days, but he did not expect to meet one here. He immediately invited Rosai to Silver Falcon Castle, maybe the lord would need the help of a spellcaster. Rosey did not agree to him, only agreed to think about it slowly.
In fact, Rosey really wanted to go with the knight. He yearns for a prosperous city, and hopes that he can assist this handsome knight...
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the new way of life, and he promised his mother to take good care of Snig.
Since then, the knight has often come to visit the siblings, staying for a period of time every time, ranging from a few hours to a night, and bringing gifts every time. When spring comes, the knight will go hunting in the mountains with Rosey, and Snig will cook a table of delicacies with the prey they hunt; in midsummer, the three of them will sit on the stone by the stream together, dipping their feet in the cool water …
There were many flowers growing in the hedge in front of the cottage, the most beautiful of which were roses. The white roses are as pure and dazzling as the first snow, and the red roses are as delicate and charming as the vermilion lips of a beauty... The knight couldn't help sighing to his brother and sister: the red rose is the color of your hair, and the white rose is like your kind heart.
In the autumn of the second year of their acquaintance, Rosey was finally persuaded by the knight and followed him to Silver Falcon Castle. Only then did Rose know that this knight was not an ordinary soldier at all, he was the eldest son of the current lord and the nephew of King Sargo.
Another winter solstice festival is approaching, and Luo Sai sadly leaves the city. Originally he got a small official position, but he hasn't lived in the crowd for too long, and he is always out of tune with everything. At the beginning, people liked him quite a bit, after all, he had a pretty face and his conversation was fresh and interesting, but as time passed, conflicts would always erupt.
The nobles and land knights grew to loathe him, and began to question his purpose in coming here. They doubted Rosey's identity, thought he appeared suspicious, and accused him of having other plans for the lord's family... Those people rejected him more and more, and he couldn't bear Silver Falcon Castle more and more.
After returning home, he saw his sister's red eye circles from crying because of missing her. Rose hugged her heartbroken and said, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you. We want to be together forever.
When the flowers were in full bloom in mid-spring, the lord's son came to the cottage again. This time he took off his armor and wore fine clothes, with only a few personal attendants.
The siblings thought that this old friend was going to give a generous gift again, but today... the gift was a little different. Today's gift is specially for Sniger.
The maid presented her with a pure white dress inlaid with pearls and crystals, and a small suede jewelry box. Sniger opened the box, and the brilliance of the diamonds on the platinum ring caught her eyes.
Rose stood by the door in a daze, watching her sister throw herself into the arms of the lord's son. Tears of happiness shone from the corners of her eyes, more beautiful than pearls in her gown.
Soon, a grand wedding ceremony was held in Silver Falcon Castle. Despite her humble origins, the wife of the lord's son conquered all who met her with her stunning beauty.
The bride's brother was not present at the wedding. Rosey was willing to go, but the lord's son told him: You'd better not show up. As compensation, we can drink two more glasses in private... because the nobles and the knights hate "that neurotic warlock", if they know Snig is the warlock's younger sister, and they will definitely oppose and question her.
The lord's son and cronies took some time to forge a perfect parentage for Snig. Now she has a new surname, from a family of heroic knights long lost. There were two old priestesses who could attest that she was indeed an orphan of the family.
"Rosey, from now on, you can no longer claim to be Snigg's brother. The lord's wife must have a decent status, and an orphan is better than a warlock's sister. At least the orphan has a clean background and can attract sympathy... You can only be a Her distant relatives... or, better yet, just fellow countrymen."
Rosey agreed.
Another few years passed, and the "knight" had become a real lord. With the new king of Sargo on the throne, the new lord is now also known as Prince Ranto.
Whenever there was a disturbance in the mountains, or disputes and turmoil at the border of the territory, Rosey would rush back to the prince. After the incident is perfectly resolved, the lonely and weird warlock will disappear into the mountains and forests again.
Sniger hasn't been back to the forest for a long time. Now she is the beloved prince and princess, and she is pregnant. Maybe... she won't come back in the future either. No one knew that the princess had an older brother, and no one thought the prince would consider the warlock a close friend.
The roses outside the hut will still be in full bloom, but no one will be by Rosie's side in the winter night.
Another year of early snow. A celebration was held at Silver Falcon Castle to celebrate the birth of the princess' first son.
In the hut in the forest, the stove was extinguished in the middle of the night, and Rosey used magic to light the fire again, but the air was still as cold as when his mother died.
"we will be together forever."
"As long as we live, we will be together forever."
But until now, you have all left me and betrayed me.
The ones I dare not love, the ones I swore to love... have abandoned me.
========================
"Are you okay?" Norad was worried, and snapped his fingers in front of the person in his arms, "Are you awake? Strange... what's going on here."
Under the advice of his father and the mage, Norad returned to the city with a team of knights. The fog in the city is also very thick, but there will always be a little more security in the city.
As the eldest son of the prince, Norad cannot act timidly. Even if he retreated into the city, he still had to act like the eldest son. He rearranged the knights and asked them to patrol the city in groups, so that the residents would be appeased and the knights would not feel that he had come back for refuge.
Followed by a team of knights, Norad also went to the streets to participate in the inspection. As he passed by an alley, he faintly heard sobbing.
A red-haired figure curled up in the alley, his thin shoulders trembling slightly. Norad walked over to pick him up and was secretly taken aback—this turned out to be a young man with an extremely delicate and beautiful face! His morning-glow red hair was stained with dirt, his blurred eyes were filled with crystal tears, and his pale face was covered with distressing scratches,...
Anyway, he looked sick, maybe frightened by something, maybe because of this horrible fog... How could he be so haggard and sad? How could he fall in a dark alley in coarse clothes? A little beauty like him... should be lying on a velvet bed in a silk dress!
The more Norad thought about it, the more distressed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more turbulent he became. He picked up the beautiful boy himself, ordered the knights to call for a carriage, and rushed back to the lord's mansion in the name of helping the wounded.
The author has something to say:
Oh, by the way, I announced the last answer. This episode has two stalks adapted from fairy tales.
One is known to everyone before, the part between Tarina and Shire, the candy house,
One is the part of Luo Sai's past, which is Bai Xue and Hong Mei, which may not be easy to see...
The original work of Bai Xue and Hong Mei is actually quite happy, not like this, but there is also a small place that is slightly sunken, it may be just a personal feeling, so I won’t go into details~
=========
This time it’s a bit of a transition, without Burris and the others on stage... But I quite like the content this time hehe
Next time it will be the home court of mages and maharajas...
