Invincible witch

Because I suddenly understood that there was a certain kind of deep sincerity hidden under his chic and relaxed tone and sloppy expression, which surprised me, and I couldn't help stammering when I answered him.

"Oh... Your Excellency the Marquis! I... I don't know what to say to be worthy of your kindness..."

Probably because my accident and clumsiness were too obvious, I saw Rutger's light blue eyes suddenly flashed in front of me, and some kind of sincere and funny expression appeared in his eyes.He coughed lightly, turned his back to the group of miscellaneous soldiers with suspicious or expressionless faces behind him, and answered me in a serious tone: "Noble and heroic lady, you don't need to be so confused... ...You just need to answer a serious question for me—since you have truly become the Countess of the Unicorn Empire, does that mean I still have a chance?"

Before he finished speaking, the group of miscellaneous soldiers behind him was in an uproar, discussing a lot, as if they had blown up the battalion.

I don't have time to attack why the discipline of his army is loose, because at this moment, my mind is as chaotic as the reaction of the group of miscellaneous soldiers, and my mind is buzzing like 1000 people are arguing loudly at the same time.

My temple throbbed and throbbed, and I could almost imagine the reaction of the entire Unicorn Empire—and the great hero Findan who lived alone in the territory of Irollan on the other side of the border—after this day.

It would just be another disaster.

Not only will my spine be broken by the gossip crowd, but I may also be deep-frozen by Fandan.

In addition, I also have to beware of possible curses, plots, or villains from the girls all over the country who admire the young and promising new Lord Marquis of Freishne, as well as the possibility of the elf heroes on the other side of the border. A palm shot at the young and promising new Marquis Freishien's destructive magic, such as "Inward Explosion" or "Doomsday Judgment".

My head is about to explode.

I felt hot on my face, and I didn't know if I was shy because of this unexpected confession, or because I was caught off guard by this unexpected confession and became angry.I believe that my reaction at this moment is probably the latter, because I have already searched my brains to wonder if there is any oblivion magic in this game, so that I can use it on a large scale on this group of uninvited guests who are listed outside my house. It is to let them-including the playboy Rutger, the instigator! ——Immediately forget what he said just now, so as not to let me fall into this turmoil of rotten peach blossoms!

And this rotten peach blossom is still standing in front of me very coquettishly, ignoring the chaos of the group of gossip soldiers behind him, still waiting for my reply!

I felt the corners of my mouth twitching, probably the smile on my face was close to a sinister grin, I gritted my teeth and squeezed out a few words: "You are so humorous, Your Excellency the Marquis..."

"Humor?!" Rutger raised his eyebrows artificially and surprised, cut off my next vicious words in time, and continued to confess like a lover, "Oh no, brave and beautiful lady, I Never been more sincere than today."

...I thought that without waiting for Fandan to make a move, I would just throw him an "introverted burst" and forget it.

I continued with a twisted laugh: "Your sincerity is amazing..."

"No." Rutger interrupted my insincere words suddenly and slightly rudely.His eyes turned around slightly, and he suddenly took a step forward, and his warm breath blew onto my face.

"You should know that my admiration for you has never changed." He said slowly, as if he didn't care about the group of subordinates behind him who were about to explode with curiosity.The original carefree element in his expression disappeared at some point, and his still handsome face with a hint of wind and frost suddenly became solemn.

My brain buzzed and short-circuited.

"You... don't you blame me for my concealment and... the matter with the little prince!" I couldn't help but took a step back, feeling that all the developments of the situation suddenly became too absurd and beyond imagination. Heart palpitations.

Has he forgotten that I was once a demon?Has he forgotten that he and his loyal guardian Prince Andrei once fell into the hands of me, the devil, and were imprisoned for a long time?Had he forgotten that I had deceived his trust by pretending to be all sorts of good men?Did he forget that I finally defrauded the treasure of the Griffin Empire, the "Griffin Heart", from him with smooth talk, and left it in the Demon Kingdom, Sheogh? ...

I hadn't thought about all this carefully before, but now I couldn't help thinking about it.Thinking carefully about the past, I feel even more that I have done so many despicable things to him. Although there is a reason for everything, if it is worth being forgiven because of that flimsy good intention, there is nothing in this world. What regrets and mistakes will there be?

The Little White Queen once resurrected her husband as a vampire, causing his soul to dissipate completely without rest.But her starting point can't be regarded as completely wrong. She just upholds a good wish and wants to get her beloved husband back for herself and their young and heroic king for the Griffin Empire, isn't it?

...But this matter cannot be forgiven because of good intentions.

Just like when I was arrogant and underestimated Biara's strength and conspiracy, which indirectly led to the recapture of little Prince Andre and the loss of the treasure "Heart of the Griffon".

My intentions are always good.But I still lied to him.

I can't say that I expect to be forgiven by him very much, because before this day, I didn't care much about how he likes and dislikes me.I used him, and I really wanted to help him. I wanted to do my best to do everything myself without breaking his trust, but how did it end?That's not what I or he could have imagined.

But when everything was over, and the shadow of the demons that once enveloped the entire world of Ashan disappeared, I realized how rashly I had treated a person who was sincerely good to me.

I think my face must have changed, because I suddenly heard a loud "boom", like the sound of a fist falling heavily on the wooden table, which suddenly interrupted my memory.

I looked up in surprise and panic, and I saw that Fandan's face had completely darkened.His face was taut, with serious and rigid lines, and his face was full of storms that were about to come, but could not be caused.

I stammered and asked, "What... what's wrong? Fandan?"

He didn't answer me, but just fixed his gaze on my face, and scanned it back and forth a few times like a death ray. His eyes seemed to be able to directly launch the "deep freeze" magic, killing me on the spot.

I felt uneasy for a while.

Although I haven't done anything wrong, I also believe that the new Marquis of Freishien should not pose a crisis between us, but this does not mean that I will pass the test easily this time - after all, Rutger was the He was talking nonsense in front of a large group of miscellaneous soldiers under him. If those eyeliners or spies of Irollan hadn't lost their functions, then everything he said would quickly reach Findan's ears-maybe this is exactly the explanation Why would he come back to this cabin today.If I remember correctly, before leaving yesterday, he said that he would stay in Danrad for four or five days to focus on the important matters accumulated recently in Celistara, the capital of the elves.

...And since I didn't throw the door in his face as soon as I saw Rutger yesterday to chase away customers, I followed him and stood outside the door in full view and talked for so long, and I felt guilty Ask him, doesn't he blame me for deceiving him and designing him back then, taking away his freedom, using his trust, and defrauding such a treasure as the "Griffin Heart"!

I felt my temples throbbing, and I had a terrible headache and forced myself to speak: "Uh...you know, I...I was just too...too surprised...after all, I always thought he was joking with me, you know Yeah, he's the kind of guy who probably has all those fancy words for every girl..."

"It seems that his gorgeous rhetoric is really useful." Findan snorted coldly, and I noticed that the parchment on the table on which he was writing was crumpled by him and crumpled in an ugly way.

I hastily declared my loyalty loudly.

"It's useless! It can't be useful! I can't listen to his playboy's strange talk. I just... just can't help but think about the past, and feel... feel a little guilty. After all, the 'Heart of the Griffin' was indeed from me It was lost, and I arrested him and little Prince Andre before and placed him under house arrest..." The more I spoke, the lower my voice became.

Sure enough, everything can be done in a hurry during the war, and it is easier for my conscience to forgive my actions; but after the war, when the world is peaceful and people are idle, even memories seem to become a kind of liquidation , The guilt that has been hidden for a long time will suddenly jump out from an unknown corner from time to time, and hit me on the head.

This hard-won peace is what we sacrificed so much trust and loyalty, how much love and innocence, how many young lives that should not end, in exchange for it.

Not everyone who died in this war was as lucky as me, able to escape from death and start over from the file.

I didn't realize until now that I'm not actually cannon fodder.I'm the one with the aura of the protagonist.

In the end, the little white queen and Leilage had to separate, and her only son, the demon Messiah, was still waiting for the man who loved her to subdue him.

Faleida accidentally won the high crown, but her father, Duke Godric, and her uncle Lord Caldwell, who was killed by her own hands, could never come back; and the man she chose was not so good Reliable, despite numerous setbacks and hardships, the flamboyant, sarcastic, and unreliable playboy style is still deeply hidden in his character. Deeply illustrates this point.

An Wen, who stayed in Celistara, the capital of Iroland, and Lady Maeve, who stayed in Talengard, the capital of the Unicorn Empire, also only reaped the vain glory of battle achievements and reputation.The person they secretly admired was standing in front of me at this moment, and there was only a poor wooden table that was already crumbling and seemed to be smashed to pieces between me, blowing his beard and staring at me.

I think my expression softened involuntarily, because I felt the corners of my lips uncontrollably raised slightly.My heart is still full of uneasiness and guilt of stepping on the flesh and blood of countless people and even the lives to achieve today's perfect customs clearance. It is conceivable that in the days to come, I may still be tortured by these troubles of conscience. Very strong nerves——

But that didn't stop me from running towards the man in front of me.I can't stop my desire to break through all the difficulties and obstacles on the road, finally reach the bottom of his heart, and stay there forever.

I leaned over to him suddenly, with my upper body completely leaning over the entire table, holding Fandan's tense and stern face with both hands, staring at him, and said softly: "His words really make me feel guilty, and remind me of many things I have committed in the past. Mistakes... But whether I do more good things or make more mistakes, even in hell, I will always remember that someone once said to me: If we go together, we have nothing to fear."

I felt the body of Fandan under me tremble slightly.The tiny tremor spread from his body to my palm along our close skin.He seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, there was a loud knock on the door, accompanied by the roar of his loyal subordinate, the man with flowery tattoos, Garland, who always appeared at the wrong time.

"Master Fandan! Please go to Denrad immediately! The Selistara Congress has just sent news today that Lady Maeve of the Unicorn Empire will lead a mission to the border and sign an alliance oath with our country!..."

I was taken aback. "What?!"

How did I not hear anything beforehand?Could it be that this love rival, who can only sit in a prison, leads people to cross the border from Deepwood, and doesn't need me, a local snake, to greet him, send him there, and receive him?Or did she find it annoying to see me, so she just passed the border and went straight to the big elf forest?

Hearing the news, Findan didn't seem surprised.I immediately realized that he must have received the news.Presumably he planned to stay in Dan Ladd for a while, part of the reason was also to prepare for this matter.

It's just that he didn't tell me that it was Lady Maeve who led the team.Humph, this kind of precaution is really annoying.

I glared at him hard.He didn't evade the control of my claws either, those dark blue eyes stared at me seriously, the expression on his face was extremely flat, no inner changes could be seen.

The room was very quiet for a while, only the breathing of the two of us could be heard.

Then I suddenly heard Findan shouting in a deep voice: "The time and space gate of the town!"

I raised my head in astonishment, "What...?!"

It's a pity that I raised my head a bit slowly, only to see a white light flashing in front of me, and Fandan's figure disappeared immediately!

I was so angry.

snort!I want to see what alliance oath was signed this time, whether it was signed in Dipperwood or Dan Lard!

No matter where the contract is signed, I will treat the diplomatic mission from the capital well!I would not be Sheogh's banshee if Lady Maeve did not leave a memorable and lasting memory of my stay in Deepwood, my fief, and Dinlad, where I first came to prosper! !

The author has something to say: Update on September 5:

I'm so sorry and ashamed. . .

Originally, it could have been changed a little earlier, but after having an extra baby, life will never be able to keep up with the changes.

At the beginning of April, I took on a bunch of projects, and I wanted to take a break from the busy schedule to write an article, but after two weeks of busy work, the nanny at home suddenly ran away. . .Moreover, during the few days when she ran away, my breeder was not in Beijing on a business trip. . .I was the only one in the house struggling with my young master who didn't understand the situation at all and was still making a fuss with excess energy. . .

Finally, at the end of the month, I feel that I can finally spare time to sort out the manuscripts I wrote before. Let’s update it. The computer is pumped, and the documents are useless. . .Had to start again. . . T_T

To this day, I really don't have the face to ask for everyone's understanding. . .

Let’s make a preview of the new chapter first~~

The next chapter (it is expected to be updated on the [-]th or so, because that period of time is the anniversary, hehe~~): Extra episode from Fandan’s perspective~~:)

Then. . .After a small wave, we can head towards the finale~~

In addition, the new article under planning is tentatively titled "Princess of the Tower"~~

It is still the text of Seaman's feeling, with only a little bit of fantasy. . .

I hope you can like it too~~

that's all.
