"Your Highness." Blour struggled to get up from his bed. He turned to Irina with surprise and concern in his eyes. "Why are you here?"
"I came to pick you up." Irina walked into the room, and her brows furrowed at the sight of Blour's pale face. A small brocade box appeared in her hand, and she opened it to reveal a golden pill. She handed it to Blour, and said, "Eat this."
"This is a life pill?" Blour looked at the golden pill in the brocade box in shock. He opened the lid, and rich life force energy wafted toward him. It was far more abundant than the water of life. He hurriedly shook his head, and said, "This is too precious. You shouldn't waste it on me."
"It's just a pill; what's so precious about it?" Irina pinched Blour's mouth, and stuffed the pill into his mouth before feeding him a mouthful of water of life.
"Your injuries are too severe, and there are too many guards outside. Helena will be able to detect my presence if I attack you. If you want to leave, you have to at least be able to walk on your own."
Blour didn't say anything else upon hearing that. He sat down on the bed with his legs crossed, and began to draw upon the rich life force energy to heal his body.
His body had been severely wounded by a 10th-tier great magic caster's attack, but it was quickly healing under the nourishment of this powerful life force energy.
He was very touched that the princess would use something as precious as the life pill to heal his injuries.
One had to realize that the queen had expended a large amount of Milk of Life to refine these pills. There were only nine of them in total, and all of them were holy healing pills that could enhance one's cultivation.
Sally closed the door and returned to her room. She looked at Irina, and her lips moved, but she chose to remain silent in the end.
"You don't have to feel sorry for me. This isn't something that you can change." Irina looked at Sally with a smile, and said, "I've been eating at Amy's a lot recently, and Amy and the others often mention you. If you have the chance in the future, you can go back and visit them."
"Mm-hm." Sally's nasal voice became a little heavier as she looked at Irina with a smile.
"So everyone … still hasn't forgotten about her." Tears welled up in Sally's eyes as memories of her time at Amy's flashed through her mind. A simple life, loving family, and delicious food … That was probably the happiest period of her life.
However, she was now shouldering too many things, and she was afraid that there would be even more in the future.
Even if she wanted to abandon everything and leave, she could no longer do so.
"But why did you save him?" Irina looked into Sally's eyes and asked. No matter how she looked at it, she shouldn't have done it.
"Maybe … we're all doing the same thing." Sally also looked at Irina, and her clear eyes lit up.
Irina's eyes also lit up. She nodded and said, "Then we will definitely succeed."
About three minutes later, Blour opened his eyes, got out of bed, and put on his shoes.
"Thank you." Blour extended a deep bow toward Sally.
"You're welcome." Sally nodded.
"Let's go." Irina turned and walked toward the door.
"Do you have a message for them?" Blour asked Sally.
Sally was silent for a moment before shaking her head.
"Take care." Blour turned and left with Irina.
Sally stood at the door for a while before closing it with a forlorn expression. From that day forth, she would be the only one left in this forest.
"You're so good at switching between men's and women's clothes." Irina teased Blour as they easily evaded the guards outside the princess' palace.
"It's just a hobby …" Blour replied in a slightly awkward manner. He stole a glance at Irina, worried that the princess would think that he was a pervert.
Irina looked back at Blour with a serious expression, and said, "I still like you in women's clothes."
Blour raised an eyebrow. He pondered for a moment before nodding. "I'll change back when I get back."
"Anna, that lass, seems to like you a lot. She doesn't look too happy when she doesn't see you back," Irina said casually as she continued walking.
"Anna." Blour clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of guilt welled up in his heart. He had thought that she would be happy to be with Amy and the others, but now, it seemed that she was going to be very happy.
"I'm very sorry about what happened to your father. I should be the one to avenge him, but you have to risk your life here." Irina stopped by the wall and turned to look at Blour with an apologetic expression.
Blour shook his head. "Father died in battle for the elven race. You don't have to blame yourself or apologize. However, as his son, I should bear this grudge."
"Then let's get some interest back today." Irina reached out and pulled off the blood-stained bandage around Blour's waist. Then, she used her fingers as a knife to cut it into five pieces. She wrote two lines of words on each piece.
"Thank you for your help. I'll repay you a hundredfold in the future!"
"I'll repay you for your kindness today!"
…
Blour looked at the different words on each piece of cloth and looked at Irina in confusion.
"When we leave later, I'll throw them into the territories of Morris, Gibson … and those few families. Hasn't Helena been very strict recently? Even if they don't die, they'll be skinned alive first." Irina smiled. After seeing the patrolling elves leave, she brought Blour into the dense forest at the side.
In the distance, Blour had already noticed the huge beast in the forest, as well as the man sitting on its back.
That was the man who won the favor of the princess. That was the man who won the admiration of the entire world. That was the man who had once saved the Night Elves and accompanied the princess to release all the elven slaves.
He had to admit that only such a man was worthy of the best princess.
"Let's go." Irina appeared beside Meg in a flash.
Blour stood in front of the purple-striped griffin and bowed slightly to Meg to express his gratitude.
Meg sized Blour up. It seemed like his injuries were better than he had imagined since he was able to walk here on his own. Irina must have already treated him.
"Come on up," Meg said in a low voice.
Blour didn't hesitate. He tapped lightly on the tree at the side and landed lightly on the griffin's back.
"Let's go back." Meg patted Ah Zi's back gently. Ah Zi flapped its wings and rose silently into the sky again, piercing through the darkness like an arrow.
When the purple-striped griffin rose to a sufficient height, Irina let go of the cloth strips, and the five strips of cloth fell in five different directions.
"Let's see who's the lucky one who can pick up these treasures," Irina said with a smile.
