Act 246: The Mortal Curtain IX(1/2)
The leaves hanging on the branches drooped, and the insects also stopped making noises. In the courtyard of Nuo Da, one could actually hear a needle drop.
Everything happened so fast that the nobles had no time to react. As if in the blink of an eye, their supreme Majesty the Queen was kneeling on the thirty-one steps of the Saint-Contibe Palace. Most of the empire's most powerful men were killed or injured.
The White Rose Garden is in a mess, the Imperial Army is swaying here and there, and the Flame Familiar Knights are unconscious.
The descendant of Sword Master Darus was still standing at the main entrance intact, not even moving a step.
The Silver Queen has ruled the empire powerfully for decades, which may not be satisfactory to the nobles. Although the previous emperor was strong, he always gave the nobles some respect. Her Majesty the Queen treated the nobles like her pet dogs. Nobles
The harmony with the royal family has long since disappeared.
But the opponents had already left the scene, and all those present were the queen's close relatives. For a foreigner to show off his power in the empire, the nobles could not accept it, even if this person was the grandson of Sword Master Darus.
However, the problem is that no one dares to take action. With the strength shown by Brando, what can they use to oppose it?
There was an embarrassing silence for a while.
Until the sound of sheathing the sword broke the silence
Brando put away his sword and walked slowly into the White Rose Garden. After he sneered at the Silver Queen, he didn't even look at the latter and just walked straight towards the mountain girl who was standing there blankly.
Akane looked at him blankly, her expression dull and a little funny. She seemed to be under some kind of magic, and she stood frozen on the spot.
Until Brando walked up to her, reached out and put the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears, and said to her: "I'm sorry, I'm late. Qian."
Hundreds of people watched this scene silently.
The imperial nobles looked at each other in silence.
Medisa's eyes were full of relief and a little bit envious; Ciel and Morpheus both smiled slightly; Faina bit her lower lip; Andrigue looked aside in boredom; Old Nidwin and the Grand Duke Huaye shook their heads.
They shook their heads. They were not like young people who showed their emotions openly, but they felt a little hard to express in their hearts.
On the one hand, they witnessed the birth of a legend, but it was the empire that served as a stepping stone. If this incident had happened in Faenzan, even the two old men would have been able to talk about it for quite some time.
But it happened to be in the empire.
Delphine watched this scene with a complicated expression. Everything she knew seemed to have been completely overturned in the previous moment.
The prime minister's daughter's mind went blank at this moment. She suddenly felt an unspeakable pain in her heart, and even her fingertips turned slightly white.
Qian couldn't see her inner thoughts clearly, but her shyness gradually faded away. After such a long journey, she also matured rapidly. When Brando swept her hair behind her ears,
Feeling the heat coming from the other person's hand, the mountain girl shivered slightly. She lowered her head silently and leaned into the Lord's warm chest.
She burst into tears.
This was completely beyond Brando's expectation. The boldness of the mountain girl hit his heart like a sharp arrow, but he didn't even have time to feel caught off guard, and deep heartache surged into his heart.
He could clearly feel that the girl was so thin and weak in his arms. Her shoulders were trembling slightly, as if countless days and nights of restlessness and sleepless fear were infiltrating his heart.
The helplessness and sorrow of having one's destiny manipulated by others is so profound and heart-wrenching that only those who have experienced it personally can understand it, but those high-ranking figures have no way of understanding it.
At this moment, Brando only thought of the burning Eruin. Their fate at that time was so similar to that of the girl. He and the others, who had lost the support in their hearts, were even more helpless than Akane at the moment.
Silently, he couldn't help but hate the Silver Queen even more in his heart.
But it was at this time that he felt something cold and soft touch his lips. The surprise was extraordinary. Brando's eyes widened, but he found that Qian's arms had already wrapped around his neck.
.She raised her head, her closed eyelashes trembled slightly, and the cute and tiny fluff on her cheeks was clearly visible.
Brando seemed to be under a strange spell, unable to move at all.
Hundreds of imperial nobles watched this scene play out. They looked at the two young men kissing each other and were unable to make a sound.
For the nobles, this is a beautiful scene. The knight saves the princess, which perfectly fits the pursuit of beauty and romance by the upper class of the empire.
But what makes them feel embarrassed is that they don't know how to face this scene. They don't even dare to look at Her Majesty the Queen, lest the other party see the wavering in their hearts.
"Akane is so brave." Medisa sighed softly.
"But even I have to admit," Charles replied: "This is the reward that the lord deserves. This miracle is worth a kiss. It is really hard for me to tell which one is more valuable between the two.
"
"Mr. Charles, please be careful what you say." Medissa glanced at this unattractive wizard Mr. Angrily.
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret in front of Miss Roman, but I think she probably won't care much." Charles replied with a wink.
Even Medisa could not say anything now, because her face was also red.
The old prime minister Niedwin did not express his position. He seemed to be more rigid when he was young. The late emperor also liked his stability, but he was still tolerant and tolerant towards young people. However, Grand Duke Huaye chuckled, as if remembering his youth.
At that time, he was romantic and uninhibited. He gently patted his daughter on the shoulder: "He is a good young man."
"Father," Faina snorted fiercely, "I'm going to run away from home."
"Are you running away from home again?" Grand Duke Huaye couldn't help laughing.
The girl rolled her blue eyes. It was difficult to explain clearly what she was thinking.
The Silver Queen also looked at this scene
"He is completely different from his grandfather..." At this moment, Her Majesty the Queen had such a strange idea in her heart, and even the frustration and pain of failure dissipated mostly.
She knelt on the cold marble floor, and the shiny floor could almost reflect her beautiful face. It was a face that was not eroded by time. From that face, she saw herself as a princess.
What a time it was...
It's a pity that I almost can't remember it.
When did things start to change?
She thought silently.
It was a dark and deep corridor. On both sides of the corridor were arched windows one after another. Many memories of the past were reflected in the arched windows. She saw the surrounding fields, the bright spring scenery, and the beautiful spring scenery.
Going to the sunny courtyard, I saw myself with my sisters. I saw my elder brother, and I saw my father, Emperor Grantu.
It seemed to be something that happened in another dream, hazy, like a mirror, a flower in the water, a moon in the water.
She saw countless banners. The glory of the empire had just begun. Her father passed the throne to her, and she passed the throne to her brother's first son. She saw the glorious palace, with all the nations coming to court. The territory of the empire,
Under her gaze, it expanded in all directions, and then war broke out, and the knights heroically launched an attack on the undead army.
In the decades since then, she has grown old and her face is covered with wrinkles, but the empire has grown stronger day by day. She has gradually been unable to remember what happened when she was young, but there is still a fire burning in her heart.
I did not violate my father's instructions after all.
She stood in the darkness and saw everything that happened in her dream. She stepped on the cold floor with her bare feet and looked at her old self. She was dressed in white and was young forever. But there was no
I feel like I have been abandoned by the whole world.
Why?
Why is this happening?
She looked at her hands, which were slender and slender. Decades of time had not carved a single texture on them, but they were as pale as ghosts.
Pat. A drop of ice-cold liquid fell on her palm, and Constance found that she actually cried.
How many years ago was it when you last shed tears?
She couldn't remember clearly.
This dream shattered like an exploding mirror.
The shining fragments cut her skin, and blood flowed out, shining with golden light, but she was completely unaware of it.
She finally remembered everything in that distant dream.
At the end of the corridor, she saw the mysterious altar, which was exactly the same as it was sixty years ago. Even the surrounding furnishings had not changed at all.
She saw her sixteen-year-old self, saw the Dragon Queen Gwendolyn, and saw that tall and handsome figure.
Three men fell down beside the altar.
On top of the altar is a baby girl, with picturesque features and perfect features, as if she were the work of the Creator.
"Your Highness Princess, you can't do this!"
"Mr. Darus, this is the trouble I caused, and I must take responsibility for it. Do you want to watch the whole world being buried with us?"
"Miss Gwendolyn, you must stop Her Royal Highness!"
"Gwendolen, you are the court warlock. You are responsible for the survival of the empire. Come and help me complete this ritual."
"But... Your Highness the Princess..."
"Gwendolyn, there are many princesses in the empire, but there is only one Wander."
"Your Highness..."
"I have made up my mind. If I can protect the empire and protect this land that I love deeply, it is also the biggest wish in my heart."
The Silver Queen stared blankly at her sixteen-year-old self, and at the Silver Princess of the Empire, tears could not stop falling from her eyes.
The memory became so vivid and profound that all the fragments of the past that had been abandoned by her for decades seemed to come back to life at this moment.
She finally remembered that was the beginning of everything and the end of everything.
And the picture in front of me began to change.
That's a scene from countless ages ago
To be continued...
