While a certain 'Princess' was performing arrogantly, the real Princess was trembling in anger below the stage.
When she woke up, she realized that she was stripped clean like a little lamb and was thrown on the stage with only a cloak wrapped around her. If not for the two Gray Elves on her left and right restraining her, if not for the fact that she was worried that things would get out of hand, she might have already started to cause a ruckus.
The fake Princess was able to suppress the entire audience even more than the real Princess, causing her to feel dispirited. However, the Angel Incarnation that followed after shocked her to the point of disbelief.
Humans are a very xenophobic race, but there is a bloodline that is not only not xenophobic, it is even revered repeatedly.
"Angel."
The first generation of Order, the Messenger of God, the Eldest Son of God who participated in the creation of the Human Race, the race of God that has left the mortal world.
On the murals of the Church, in the sacred hymns, there are many praises for this race. Regardless of which epic or novel, Angels are holy and pure. Their existence itself is the will of God and wherever their sword points towards, it is the natural enemy of Order.
Perhaps, it is impossible for the existing Angels to appear in the mortal world. This is also the reason why the humans who worship the Gods of Order revered them so much. After all, to a true King, the further away they are from the high and mighty Gods, the better.
In that instant, Renée understood the actions of the fake Princess and cheered in her heart.
"Could it be that she is really helping me? Just the bloodline ability of this Angel Incarnation is enough for the Mist Royal Family to not be looked down upon. Even if it is just a fox borrowing the tiger's might, with that information, as long as we are given enough time, we will have the hope to rise once again. "
When Reyne saw the man slashing Carter with his sword, she waved her fists and cheered. Not to mention the fact that she was already disgusted by the gorilla, the accumulated resentment over the past few days had made her have no good impression of this country.
But following that, Dasos's sudden proposal completely shocked her.
The marriage of the Emperor of two countries? Just thinking about it is inconceivable. Regardless of whether that man is doing it for the bloodline power or to completely swallow up the Donglan Principality, while he is displaying his ambition, he is also displaying his sincerity. Without a doubt, this is an extremely important diplomatic choice.
In that instant, Reyne really hesitated. If she were to sacrifice herself and accept this marriage proposal, perhaps her dukedom would have some time to catch its breath. However, she then thought of something else. When the difference between the two parties involved in the merger is too great, then, it is just another way of saying that it is an annexation. If the current East Mist Communal Country were to merge with the Auland Empire, it could only be annexed as one of the provinces.
"Reject, I must reject. But directly rejecting will not only hurt Dasos's face, it will also bring shame to the Ottoman Empire. It might even bring up a war. What should I do?"
Obviously, this was an unexpected incident, but with the entire Empire's pressure and bargaining chips, Darsos never expected that he would be rejected.
However, the desperate situation in the eyes of the real Renée is a piece of cake in the eyes of the fake Renée.
"I'm sorry, you are a man, but I like women."
Dasos was full of confidence in his proposal, but in the end, he was rejected mercilessly. He wanted to use this opportunity to vent his anger, but he didn't know how to do so. In the end, he could only become a farce and a topic of conversation before dinner.
The person he proposed to was someone who likes the same sex. This kind of rejection is probably the most helpless, but it is also the most sufficient reason to reject. How can a person of different sex date?
While Renée was secretly glad that she and the Donglan Principality had just escaped a disaster, she immediately realized that she was in trouble. While she was saved, she seemed to have been tricked by the fake Renée. This pit is probably so deep that she will never be able to climb out of it in this lifetime.
Wait, she actually used my face to make such a declaration in public. Then, won't I never be able to clear my name in the future? I won't be able to marry anyone in this lifetime?
Alright, tomorrow, the headlines of all the tabloids have already confirmed that "The Emperor's Proposal Is Rejected, Princess Renée Reveals Her Sexuality", "The Secret History of the Emperor's Love Rival Svina", "A Love Triangle That Transcends Borders and Genders". Without a doubt, these will be the hottest topics recently.
As for Renée herself?
Under the witness of the God of Holy Light, as a Holy Knight, there is no need to doubt the authenticity of her vow of true love. Soon, with the spread of information and gossip, Her Royal Highness Renée's special preference of loving beautiful women and not the country will spread throughout the world.
Furthermore, this will definitely become a model for the fake to become real. If it is proven that she is normal in the future, this incident of deceiving the Ottoman Emperor in public will become an insult to the entire Ottoman Empire. The consequences will be unimaginable. Then, not only will Renée not be able to explain herself, she will also have to work hard to disguise herself as an abnormal woman. She might even have to have multiple wives and concubines.
"Bastard! I will kill you!! How can I face others like this? "
Alright then, if it wasn't for Diana holding her down, Renée, who is only wearing thin undergarments, would have unhesitatingly charged into the ring despite the risk of exposing herself.
After this tragedy was turned into a farce, two hours later, when the tabloids and newspapers couldn't wait to spread the news about what happened in the Royal Family Arena, the real and fake princess returned to the temporary embassy and sat together.
"Roland, you are Roland! You really didn't die. "
"It has been a long time, Big Sister Kelly."
…
Due to the spectacular performance of the princess, the previously unknown East Mist Communal Country suddenly became a hot topic. The temporary embassy that was initially deserted was immediately filled to the brim with visitors. However, it was a pity that the doors were tightly locked, with no intention of receiving visitors.
However, in the guest room on the second floor, it was extremely noisy.
"Bastard, I will fight you to the death. You actually dare to frame me! "
In front of the furious young lady, I, who had reverted to Roland's appearance, leisurely sipped on iced bitter tea. This was a specialty of my hometown, and it had been a long time since I had encountered it. Naturally, I had to taste it more.
"Then, can you think of a better solution? Not only did you not embarrass the Ottoman Empire, you also rejected me. You should thank me, otherwise, you would be in deep trouble now. "
Renée wasn't an unreasonable person, and what I said was the truth. At that moment, Renée fell silent. She had been thinking about it, but not to mention a better solution, she couldn't even think of this solution.
"Who are you? Roland wouldn't call me that. "
After the initial joy, Callie's expression became a little hesitant when she heard how I addressed her.
"The world is big, but I am bigger. Roland would never call anyone big sister or big brother, he …"
In the diary, Kelly was one of the closest people to me in the past. As expected, I couldn't hide it. However, I didn't expect that I would be exposed the moment I opened my mouth. In that case, let's try the second form of address in the diary. Right, there was also a little secret regarding the wood elves.
"Yeah, little Kelly. The star-shaped birthmark on the back of your neck, the moles on your right breast and left buttocks are still there, right? "
Hearing this, Kelly immediately crossed her arms and glared at me with a red face, as if she was guarding against a pervert. Diana, who was traveling with me, also looked at me in astonishment.
"I have indeed forgotten many things. However, short-lived species are able to surpass the limits of their lifespan, so this kind of sacrifice is only natural."
However, Kalebrian shook her head. Even though her instincts told her that the person in front of her was indeed Roland, she still didn't dare to believe it.
This was a matter of great importance, and no amount of caution would be excessive. If she had obtained something that Roland left behind, she might have found out about this as well, but she had a better method of inspection.
A short sword with two dragons coiled around it was placed in front of me. This was the "Lamp of Life" that was connected to my soul.
The moment I got closer, the small white bead emitted a blinding light, proving that this was indeed my Lamp of Life.
"As expected, it's you, little pervert! Just how did you manage to extinguish it, then light it up, then extinguish it again!? "
Before I could even react, Kelly hugged me. Her excited face made me wonder if she was still the calm wood elf from before.
"Heh, it's simple. Die and live again, then die again."
Hearing this, Kelly was stunned. Die and live again, then die again? It was easy for her to say, but anyone who had a slight understanding of the world and souls would know that this was absolutely impossible.
"Alright, it's rare for us to meet again, so let's not talk about these boring matters. Right, is the black and white color of this Lamp of Life the indication that one's soul is inclined towards Order and Chaos? It seems that Cavendish really went all out this time. "
Indeed, there was nothing more inclined towards Chaos than a demon who was the incarnation of Chaos. However, what surprised me was that Kelly shook her head.
"130 years ago, your soul bead was even darker than his. Can you tell me, were you him? The nightmare that represented the night. "
The wood elf's voice trembled as she asked. Even though the news that Lord Yongye was Roland had spread among the upper echelons of the various countries, as the first teacher of the Gemini Stars, she was unwilling to believe that the kind and sunny Roland would end up in such a state.
"Un, it was me. Back then, I found out that the destruction of the Mist Country wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface, so I cleansed all of the suspects and accomplices. Heh, it seems that I went a little overboard. "
"Ah …"
"Sister Kelly!! What did you do! Why did Sister Kelly faint? "
Alright, the nightmare that she was most worried about turned into reality. Without saying a word, all sorts of feelings welled up in Kelly's heart and she fainted on the spot.
However, after she fainted, she left the three of us behind and we could only stare at each other. I, who had lost the relevant memories, could only know from the diary that Kelly loved the past me. However, I was unable to comprehend the excessive reaction.
Under Renée's emergency treatment, Kelly had just woken up when she suddenly hugged me and started sobbing softly.
"Wuuuu, it's all because Sister Kelly is useless that you and Cavendish suffered so much."
The person she valued had fallen into darkness. The prince of sunshine had become a demon king. The intense self-blame caused Kelly to sob uncontrollably.
Her tears drenched my back. This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made me unable to move. This feeling of being loved and cared for as a junior, being cared for by an elder, was the first time that I had experienced it. I wasn't used to it and it made me want to run away.
"Looks like I need to find something that can help me recover my memories."
Even though the other party was crying a mess, I didn't feel anything at all. This was the first time that I felt that even the diary was unable to replace my memories. Some things, once lost, were difficult to retrieve.
Alright, after spending a great deal of effort, I finally managed to coax Kelly, who was constantly blaming herself and crying her eyes out, to change the topic back to the main topic.
"… Will you come back?"
The trembling Kelly asked, but I shook my head.
Why would I return? My subjects were still in Sulfur Mountain City. The current Donglan Principality was no longer the original Mist Country. Besides, it would be inappropriate for a ruler who had already abdicated to ascend to the throne once more. My goal was not to limit myself to just a single country.
"However, I will help the Mist Country rise once more. Those documents have already shown a portion of my sincerity. Now, the main event will begin with this sword."
【Roland Sacred Sword, SemiGod Equipment】
【Attack: 22-44 + 11】 (+ 11 is because it is considered a + 11 SemiGod Equipment. Even if the sword is used to deal the lowest damage of the weapon, it will still inflict an additional 11 points of Silver Flame Enchantment damage.)
【Indestructible: Even against a God Equipment, this Sacred Sword will not break.】
【Mist Royalty: The Roland Sacred Sword is the symbol of the royalty of the Mist Royalty. Only those who have obtained the recognition of the King can wield this Sacred Sword. Following the rise of the Mist Country, it is working hard to evolve and become stronger. But at the same time, only the most trusted Knight of the Mist Country can wield this prideful Sacred Sword.】
【Wind of the King: The wielder's Strength + 2, Agility + 2, Stamina + 2, Charm + 6. In a country established by the Mist Bloodline, the wielder's Reputation will be calculated from Respect.】
【There is a string of yellow words on the body of the sword: The Roland Sacred Sword is the sword of the legendary Saint Knight Prince Roland. Only his descendants and successors will be able to obtain the recognition of this Sacred Sword. (Usage requirement: Mist Bloodline)】
The silver Sacred Sword gave off a dazzling radiance. Yet, I was secretly crying. I should have known that the System was up to no good. From the very start, it wasn't something that I could wield.
Become a Knight loyal to the Mist Royalty? That would require a conferment ceremony and land. Putting aside the fact that the current Donglan Principality wasn't able to do that, even if it could, I wasn't willing to become a Knight loyal to someone, even if the person I was loyal to might be my own descendant.
And even if I could wield it, in my hands, it would at most be a godly weapon. Even though such an item was rare, I could still find it. With the guidance of 'history', I felt that it shouldn't be too difficult to find it.
However, if the current generation's Crown Prince Knight Princess were to find the Roland Sacred Sword, the symbol of the Mist Royalty, then it would be fate. In this era where royal authority and divine authority were intertwined, the recovery of a lost object of royal authority would greatly increase the cohesiveness of the entire country. Those citizens who were lost due to war would also consider returning to their homeland.
At the very least, the reputation of Renée who found the Roland Sacred Sword would skyrocket. With the royal authority and godly weapon as a bargaining chip, she could even attempt to merge with the other two small countries established by the citizens of the Mist Country. This way, with territory and people, there would be hope for the Mist Country to rise again.
"The Roland Sacred Sword! Is this the legendary Roland Sacred Sword? "
The cheering Renée had just touched the Sacred Sword when she was sent flying. However, judging from the fact that she wasn't burned by the Sacred Flames, she did indeed meet the requirements to wield it. It was just that she was still too weak, so weak that the Sacred Sword couldn't even acknowledge her.
However, looking at this persevering princess, I was also thinking of ways to make her stronger.
"Why is Renée so weak? Is there no one to teach her? "
"Renée's talent in swordsmanship is still alright, but it is only alright. With so many miscellaneous matters weighing down on her, how could she have the time to slowly practice her swordsmanship? She doesn't have any talent in Divine Arts, so the path of a Holy Knight and a Priest has been severed. Even though she is smart, the path of a Wizard requires a large amount of time, which she doesn't have. Thus, the most she can do is to practice her swordsmanship and train her body. Don't use you and Cavendish as a standard to compare. The Mist Royal Family has only produced the two of you in several thousand years. This is unfair to the other members of the royal family. "
I nodded my head. I pretty much knew what to do.
"I do have a new job here, a Justice Knight. Even though he is a Knight of the God of Law, he is the same as a Holy Knight. He doesn't need to be completely loyal to the Church, and he doesn't need the Willpower attribute that Divine Arts require. What he needs is intelligence and the understanding and analysis of Law …"
"Perhaps, the Donglan Principality can come into contact with the Church of the God of Law. If it is able to make it the national religion, many things will be different …"
"Right, there is also the training of the Aurora Knight. We have to start now, or else it will be too late when winter comes …"
It didn't take long for us to get down to business. After all, it was just me talking and they listening. It wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time. However, there was a personal matter that I really wanted to ask about.
"Right, Kelly, whose descendant are Renée and the others? Is it mine or Cavendish's? "
An ugly daughter-in-law would have to meet her in-laws eventually. Filled with unease, it wasn't a good idea to keep this doubt in my heart. In the end, I still asked about it.
"You actually don't know?"
Alright, it was natural for Kelly to be surprised. However, I could only shake my head helplessly and point at my own head, indicating that I couldn't remember it.
Suddenly, Kelly revealed a heartbroken expression. Then, she lowered her head and complained angrily with tears in her eyes.
"It is enough for you to forget about me! You actually forgot about our child! "
"Our child!" "Our child!" "Our child!" "Our child!" These five words echoed in my mind and the room at the same time.
"Kacha!" "Kacha!" "Kacha!" My and Diana's cups fell to the ground. Our mouths were wide open, unable to close.
"Clang." It was Renée who dropped her sword on the ground. She stared blankly at the big sister who had raised her up. Could it be that her ancestors were actually her children? Should she call her Grandma?
"You must be joking!!"
I was at a complete loss. The scariest thing about losing one's memory was not knowing what one had forgotten. Could it be that I had unknowingly forgotten about my wife and child?
"Un, I am joking. I haven't married anyone yet. "
Kelly stuck out her tongue and made a face. Even though she was 700 years old, she could only be considered a young woman among the long-lived Wood Elves. The Wood Elves were famous for being emotional and optimistic.
"Kacha!" This time, even the plate holding the cup fell to the ground.
I clutched my chest and slumped on the chair. This shock wasn't good for my heart.
I finally understood why the records regarding Kelly in the journal were so contradictory:
"Although she is as gentle as Big Sister and Mother, she loves to joke too much. Sometimes, those can be fatal. Don't ever give her a chance, otherwise, you will regret it. Definitely!" I even marked this part of the record with an asterisk.
"I almost believed it. Can you not joke about such things! "Alright, I admit that I completely believed it.
"Actually, I don't know either. During the war, I directly returned to the Melody Forest. When I met her again, the person from back then had already changed beyond recognition. However, she should be a descendant of you or Cavendish. However, since she is a descendant of the Mist and a few hundred years have passed, the bloodline would naturally thin out. Is there any difference?"
There was a huge difference! This was related to whether or not I was an experienced mage with over three hundred years of experience!
Alright, saying it like that was basically exposing my ugly side. It was also exposing that in these three hundred years, I didn't make any progress in my love life. I wasn't that foolish.
"It should be Cavendish. After all, that child is more …"
I don't need to say the rest. I know that Cavendish is much more popular than me, but please don't pour salt on my wounds.
But after that, that familiar body fragrance approached me again. Big Sister Kelly hugged me again.
"If the beautiful memories are gone, it's fine to just make them again. Kelly, I love the cute little Roland the most … "
We just reunited and I was hugged three times. At the same time, I also understood what the words' Be careful of being used as a pillow 'meant.
"Big Sister Kelly, I'm not a child anymore."
Although Kelly's excessive passion moved me slightly, I didn't know what to do. After all, out of all the beautiful women I had met in the past, half of them wanted to kill me, while the other half had hidden daggers behind their smiles. It was unprecedented for a beautiful woman to throw herself into my arms with such kindness. I didn't know how to deal with it.
Suddenly, Kelly revealed an evil smile as she came closer to me. She stuck out the tip of her tongue and lightly licked my earlobe.
Feeling the soft touch on my earlobe, I instantly felt my entire body tremble. I then felt dizzy and hurriedly backed away.
"What … what did you do?"
Even without looking in a mirror, I knew that my face was definitely red to the point of being unbearably red. This time, I was completely exposed.
"Your reaction is exactly the same as before. And you still say that you're not a child? It seems that little Roland's love life is still a blank after so many years. I've also seen the Saint's Time Distortion Ring before. We wood elves are the elves who are the most sensitive to natural life. It's our most basic racial talent to determine the age of an ancient tree through contact. Judging from your scent just now, your true age is far from what you appear to be. Do you need me to guess the true age of your physical body? "
I clasped my hands together in surrender. In the past, I was the only one who tricked others. Today, I finally met someone who could completely trick me. Was this the experience of an elder? However, it was so easy for me to trick the Queen of Banshees.
"Hmph, don't look down on me. I watched you grow up. Those tricks of yours are useless against me. "
It seemed that it wasn't just the difference in age and experience. More importantly, it was her understanding of me, while my understanding of her was only limited to information and books.
Suddenly, as if she was dissatisfied with my guarded gaze, she hugged me again.
Just as I looked at this woman who liked to tease me with my guard up, I heard a sobbing sound behind my ear. On my shoulder, Kelly started sobbing.
"You're too much, you stinky Lanlan. You actually forgot about me. To think that I've been thinking about you and worried about you. You actually only talked to me about work. You didn't even ask about me. Let me hug you, just for a moment. Wahhh, you bastard Lanlan. "
Feeling the sobbing behind me, I couldn't move at all. My five senses were intertwined and all sorts of tastes were present, but I really didn't know what to do.
I was now certain that this woman who was both a teacher and a mother was the bane of my existence. I would rather fight an evil dragon alone than guess what she would do next. In the end, I could only helplessly let her do as she pleased. I hugged her for at least ten minutes.
"Little Roland has also reached the age to become an adult. If it's Roland, it's fine."
Even though she finally let go of me, I still couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not.
But looking at the green-haired elf before me whose eyes were swollen from crying, yet she was still smiling from the bottom of her heart, I felt that I had another reason to work hard.
Ten minutes later, a huge fire suddenly engulfed the temporary embassy of the Donglan Principality. It seemed to be the work of a radical who was dissatisfied with the Knight Princess's rejection of Dasos's marriage proposal. Twenty minutes later, under the escort of a small squadron of Donglan Royal Knight, the princess and her royal teacher found a new residence — a three-story villa.
"Welcome to the base of the Absolute Gentlemen Alliance. We will provide the most reliable security and the most considerate room service."
