Puberty Cinderella

Ella shuttled through the sea of ​​clouds again, but this time, instead of being hung in the air by the collar held by Dragon Claw, Ella was riding on Aukheim's neck.She had to admit that it was much more comfortable flying this way.

But Oakheim doesn't think so.Since setting off, she has asked "Are you there?" every few minutes.After getting a negative answer for the first time, she grumbled impatiently from her throat, constantly complaining about why the elves built the city in such a remote place.

"It should be here soon, fly a little lower and have a look." Ella said.

Oakheim plunged headlong into the clouds, and the wind rolled up by its wings tore a gap in the cumulus clouds, exposing the winding peaks of the Frozen Ridge unreservedly before their eyes.

Ella hugged Oakheim's neck, poked her head out and looked down, searching for a point of a different color on the tundra.Oakheim found the kingdom of elves one step ahead of her, and swooped straight down.The first thing that catches the eye is a sea of ​​colorful roofs, and the snow-white spiers of the Winter Palace point to the sky like a row of thorns.Tiny black dots were swimming in the street, unaware of the huge thing overhead.

"Where is it parked?" Oakheim asked.

Aila remembered what Niyaf told her to do earlier, so she said, "Fly lower, I can't see clearly."

Aukheim muttered and fell another distance, almost skimming over the roof.Several elves noticed them and raised their heads to point.

"Here?" Oakheim said, flying from one end of the city to the other, "or here?"

"A little further north, I remember a clearing somewhere," Ella said. "No, I guess I misremembered. It should be south."

They walked around the city several times in this way, until everyone came out of the house, looking at the sky and discussing.Oakheim growled impatiently and threatened to throw her down.

"Okay, okay, this is the square. Be careful not to step on anyone." Ella said.

Oakheim stretched out his claws, and deftly landed in the center of the square.Ella thanked her by patting her on the neck, and jumped to the ground, immediately surrounded by curious elves.

"I recognize her!" A person in the crowd yelled, "She is the human knight who was captured by the dragon for trial some time ago!"

"Why? What crime did she commit?" asked another.

"She killed my son!" Oakheim growled.

The elves fell silent for a moment, but soon became noisy again.

"A little girl killed a dragon?" "Really?" "Why is she still alive?" "What happened, tell us!"

"It's true," Ella said. "They tried to convict me of killing a dragon on purpose, but it was difficult to judge, so they finally decided to fight Oakheim one-on-one. Is that right, Oakheim?"

"Yes."

"But the duel didn't come to fruition, so I'm coming back, isn't it?"

"Yes." Oakheim said, "although in fact..."

"Thank you for sending me," Ella said, "see you soon."

"I don't want to see you again," Oakheim said.She spread her wings, flew back into the sky with a whoosh, and disappeared into the distance.

As soon as Oakheim left, the elves crowded even tighter, scrambling to see her true face.

"How did you kill the dragon?" "What did the Inquisitor look like?" "Why didn't you get hurt at all?"

"It's a long story..."

At this time, the crowd suddenly fell silent, split into two halves in front of her, spread out in all directions, and automatically made way for one.

Cleared by a group of guards holding spears, the Elf Queen walked out of the Winter Palace in her long skirt and stood on the steps of the palace.She has a solemn expression, the crown of thorns shines silver on her forehead, her clasped hands and elegant posture show the unquestionable royal authority.

"What's the matter?" Niyaf asked, "Why are you making such a fuss here?"

Ella stood her sword on the ground, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "Ella, a knight in Lower Florida, dares to propose to His Majesty."

The elves, more amazed than they had been at the sight of the dragon, murmured under their breath.

This morning, as they lay side by side in the shade, Niyaf told her: "People expect me to marry an Omega male of noble birth, and you don't fit any of these. If you want to challenge ordinary standards , there must be something extraordinary beyond ordinary people, so maybe they will be lenient..."

Holding the sword, Ella secretly raised her eyes to look at Niyaf, but the expression on her face did not fluctuate.If it weren't for the knowledge that this was all a disguise she was putting on to pull off a ruse, Ella would be backing off by now.

"Then," Niyaf said, "you should first win the championship at the May Day tournament."

With that, she turned and went back into the palace, with the guards closing the door behind her.The crowd gathered around again and asked her questions in a hurry.

"Wait a minute, our warrior must be tired and hungry, why don't we take her to the tavern to rest?" said a kind elf.

So, surrounded by the elves, Ella lived in the most luxurious room in the tavern, and repeated her reserved adventure stories to them over and over again in the next few days.The story was passed on from ten to ten, and each narrator added a little new detail, until all the elves in the country heard about it: there was a unparalleled warrior named Ella, who once defeated the entire team that was raging in Fora alone. In the dragon's trial court, she killed the evil dragon who dared to duel with her with only one hand, and enslaved another female dragon who obeyed her.She rode a dragon to the kingdom of elves, and fell in love with the queen at first sight, and now the queen promised her that if she could win the championship in the May Day festival, she would marry her.

At least there is a little truth in this story.

On the day before May Day, knights from all over the world crowded every tavern, and tents were set up in the open space in front of the arena.The arena here is only a quarter of the arena in the Tara Plain, but after being ingeniously decorated by the elves, it is also spectacular.Dozens of colored ribbons hang above the arena, one end is tied to the stone pillar on the second floor of the ladder, and the other end is gathered on the tip of the sword held high by the central god statue, forming a huge maystyle umbrella.The garland on the head of the god is made of fresh blue butterfly iris, hyacinth, violet, cornflower and pansy. It is a popular style this year. Every lady and little girl wears a crown on her head. .

Ella was in the break room wiping a mud spot on her greaves with a cloth.This was delivered to her room in the tavern by a patron who did not want to be named a few days ago, along with a whole set of armor, a helmet with a dragon statue on it, and a white horse.

The horn sounded in the arena, and the knights mounted their horses one after another, and filed out from the slowly opened gate.An attendant put down his horn and loudly announced the name and background of each knight. After each one was reported, there was a burst of applause from the audience.The audience applauded even harder when he reported to "Defender of Fora, Survivor of the Inquisition, Ella the Dragon Rider."Amidst thunderous applause, Ella stopped before the royal seats, took off her helmet to pay tribute to the queen and her distinguished guests.From a distance, she saw Niyaf winking at her with a solemn smile still on her face.

The participating knights are divided into two teams, which are arranged at both ends of the field.With the flags representing their respective powers planted on their horsebacks, round shields tied to their left arms, and blunt spears held in their right hands, they lined up in two rows facing each other.The horn sounded, and the knights put down their spears and rode their horses towards their opponents.

Ella stared at the knight approaching her from the front right, and as she came into range, she lowered her body to avoid the opponent's spear and poked him in the belly of the horse at the same time.She didn't look back, ran all the way to the bottom line and turned the horse's head, and saw that the man had been thrown to the ground by the horse and lost the qualification for the race.

The knights who remained on horseback after the first confrontation ran to the opposite side again.A knight who fell from his horse lingered on the field and refused to go down. He tried his best to block the knight who knocked him down, chopped his feet and cursed him.Several guards rushed up and dragged him and his horse away, but it was too late, and the hapless knight was unable to dodge in time, and fell on his back.

After five rounds, Ella's team was left with only her, and the opponent had two left.In order to outflank her left and right, the knights on one side had to use their unusual left hand to hold their spears.When they were about to meet, she suddenly speeded up, tilted the tip of the spear to pick away the spear of the knight on the right, let go of the reins with her left hand, grabbed the spear of the knight on the left, and stabbed the knight on the right just as she passed by. dismounted.The knight who lost his spear voluntarily surrendered, and the referee announced that Ella's team won, and the audience who supported the team cheered.

The advanced teams then divided into two teams to compete again, and Ella's team won again, and this was repeated several times.Every time she leads the team to victory, the crowd's cheers grow louder.She noticed that several times she was almost hit by the spear, but passed by the armor at the last moment, as if an invisible wind had blown the spear away.She guessed that it was the spell Niyaf cast on the armor to help her win the championship.

In the final, there were only two knights left on the field.That knight wasn't very skilled in martial arts, but just because he was lucky to be in a group with her every time and made it all the way to the finals.Ella beat him with ease, and the crowd chanted Ella's name in unison, waiting for the referee to announce the final result.

Just at this moment, a dark and masked knight entered the arena on a black horse without taking off his helmet even when he was in front of the queen.He rode up to Ella and announced that he would challenge her.

"Honorable opponent," Ella said, "I accept your challenge. But can you take off the mask and let me know who I am facing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's take it!"

The black knight swung his spear and struck her on the head, and she had to fight with her shield.The man's spear-holding posture was very amateurish, and he didn't seem to have received formal training, but his move speed was very fast, and the protective magic on the armor had no effect on him.Ella was dazzled by the random beating of the black knight, and suffered several sap hits on her body.But when she thought of her purpose of competing, Niyaf's soft and charming voice seemed to ring in her ears.

If Niyaf was by her side, she would definitely tell her not to worry, an excellent fighter should remain sober and calm at all times.

So Ayla rode at a distance from her opponent and carefully observed his movements.Sure enough, although his swiftness was astonishing, his moves were full of flaws.Ella took aim at a weak spot in his neck and hurled the spear there with all her might.The black knight fell to the ground in response, and the mask flew aside, revealing the face of the chief wizard Owen.He picked up the mask, led the horse and ran away, as if he was afraid that more people would see him.

The audience chanted Ella's name again, took off the decorations on her body and the wreath on her head and threw them at her.But she rode straight to the royal seat, turned off the horse, stepped over the guardrail, picked off a silver rose hanging on her chest, and dedicated it to Niyaf who smiled sincerely at her.
