Quick Wear: Driving Gods in a Dark Fairy Tale

"I really don't know how someone like you became the crown prince. Was it because you were born early?"

Filina leaned over and pinched the rose on the bones. The gorgeous rose red reached its extreme, from the center of the flower, from dark to light, the outermost petals were almost completely black.

"It's really ugly."

Filina gradually closed her fingers around the rose, and the beautiful rose was instantly crushed in her palm. The thick blood-like flower juice flowed out from between her fingers, flowing down her white fingertips and dripping onto the ground.

"I wanted to ask you if you felt guilty about what happened to Aurora before..."

Filina smiled as she smeared the crushed flower juice on the smooth skull. Her smile was extremely cold. "What a pity! Seeing how you are so obsessed with the beauty of the skin, I know that you are not even worthy of answering this question."

"Those outsiders deserve to die, and people like you who betrayed her deserve to die even more."

"You disgusting people, I won't let any of you go...just die."

Filina's fingers dipped in flower juice stroked the empty eye sockets of the skull. She applied a little force with her fingers, and countless cracks appeared on the milky white bone that looked like jade. The cracks, as fine as spider webs, gradually expanded, and after a clear "crash", it shattered into bone fragments all over the ground.

I don't know when it started to rain heavily outside the window, and the crackling sound of rain was heard one after another. The rose near the window was swaying in the wind and rain, and the petals were torn off one by one by the strong wind and were forcibly dragged into the rain.

The sporadic bright colors caught in the gloomy weather fluttered in the air for a few circles before being quickly knocked down by bean-sized raindrops and buried in the mud.

Filina's gaze fell coldly outside the window, her long eyelashes half-drooped, and the smile on her lips deepened:

"Don't even think about running away."

……

"Hey, have you heard? His Majesty the King is going to marry a new queen. It is said that the new queen is just an orphan girl from a small village in the Orphir Empire."

"I heard it! His Majesty the King fell in love with the orphan girl at first sight, and he wanted to marry her despite the objections of ministers and nobles. It's really pitiful for our former queen, who was deposed just over a month after being married. She was a princess of the Orphir Empire, but she couldn't compare to an orphan girl from her own country."

"Yes, I originally thought that the former queen was the most beautiful person in the world until I saw the new queen that His Majesty is going to marry..."

"She is so beautiful. No wonder His Majesty fell in love with her at first sight. If it were me, I would not be able to resist her beauty either."

"But...but our former queen was also very beautiful. She was Princess Aurora, who was once known as Sleeping Beauty. She was the most beautiful person in the Orphir Empire!"

"It's long gone."

The maid's words fell lightly, mixed in the autumn wind and fallen leaves, swirling in the air and falling into Aylor's ears through the shabby window.

The former queen who was imprisoned in a high tower picked up a dead leaf that floated in from the window. There was no sadness or joy in her deep blue eyes. After a very light sigh, she raised her hand and tucked the dead leaf between the pages of the book.

She is still beautiful, and no one can deny her beauty.

But a face that remains unchanged and gradually ages can never compare to a young, fresh, and more novel beautiful face.

No one is young forever, but there is always someone young.

Beautiful beauties are like fallen leaves in autumn. When they fall, new ones will grow in their place next year.

this is nothing.

That's how it is.

Ai Luo is no longer the little girl who longs for a beautiful love.

Perhaps at the beginning, when Richard promised her that he would love only her and only her as queen for the rest of his life, the girl's heart was moved for a moment.

But it was really too short, so short that as long as Aurora thought about the future, he would not take it seriously.

It turns out that Arlo was right not to take it seriously.

In just three short years, Richard had grown tired of Arlo and was even willing to depose her and imprison her for a strange woman whom he had only met twice.

Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that the Seker Empire is becoming increasingly powerful while the Orphir Empire is gradually declining.

If it had been the time when the Orphir Empire and the Seker Empire were equally powerful, Richard might not have taken action against her so quickly. At least he would have taken into consideration the Orphir Empire behind her.

But now——

Richard believed that he had the confidence to crush the Orphir Empire, so of course he would not take her, the queen he already disliked, seriously.

Aurora didn't mind moving from the cold palace to the dilapidated tower.

The only thing she was worried about was whether Richard would take action like the now declining Orphir Empire.

With the current military strength of the Sekel Empire, if it takes action, the Orphir Empire will definitely not gain any benefit, and may even be annexed by the Sekel Empire.

Once the war starts, it means rivers of blood.

Regardless of who wins or loses, those innocent people will be implicated and forced to flee.

This was not what Arlo wanted to see.

But what she can do is really limited. She can only hope that the carrier pigeon will fly to the person who should be entrusted with her wishes.

As time passed, the first ripe fruit of autumn fell to the ground in the continuous drizzle.

The struggling carrier pigeon fell from the sky, the splashing mud and water stained its white wings, and it finally drowned silently in the puddle.
