Team villains except me

I dismantle my memories into weapons to cope with the war-like life we ​​live now. Those happy laughters, those moments of love, are like a sword piercing my heart.

I walk continually under the shadow of death. I am a prisoner in chains.

——Duang

-

"Duang! How much money do we have left?"

Du Ang raised her head, she looked up alertly at the person speaking in front of her, then froze in silence.

After a long time, she looked at Lansjia and raised the corners of her mouth.

It turned out to be a dream.

Only in dreams can she see her deceased teammate, Lanska.

She hadn't dreamed of Lanska for a long time. In the team, she and Lanska had the least interactions. Although they grew up together, Lanska felt that she was too lazy and hadn't made any progress in the past few years. Lanska didn't like her.

But Lansgar's last words were addressed to her.

Lansgar said, Duang, be strong.

This one sentence is not a consolation or an instruction, but a request.

Du Ang opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.

She began to gasp for breath, holding her heart, and almost suffocated in the darkness.

"...dream about them again?"

A faint voice came from the other side of the room. Duang did not answer. After a moment, a cold hand touched her forehead.

It was her teammate Lilore.

Duang said nothing. Lilore sighed softly and sat on Duang's bed, holding her face.

"Why don't they come to my dreams? How biased! Am I not the youngest sister? Everyone should love me the most."

Duang raised his head to look at Lilore. Facing the moonlight, Lilore's face was pale, like a ghost trapped in the world.

"Because you can't sleep at night. You don't dream."

Duang spoke the truth.

Lilore patted Duang's quilt angrily.

"Why are you so speechless? I can't help it. I changed the medicine, but I just can't sleep."

Duang's throat tightened.

"...I'm sorry. I forced you to stay with me."

"What's the word?"

Liloer pulled her long-sleeved nightgown tightly together, carefully covering the dense scars on her body.

She smiled a smile that made her look even more ghostly.

"I want to live. Duang, if I die again, you will have no friends. Yue Jiang has been in a coma and I don't know when he will wake up. I must at least wait until Yue Jiang wakes up and sees you and Yue Jiang get married before I die. Maybe by then the two who fell into the abyss will be able to come back."

Duang said nothing. She saw no hope.

Lilore wanted to say something else, but she didn't have the energy. She lay exhausted on Duang's bed, looking at him quietly, her eyes expressionless.

"Duang, perhaps this is fate. We should have died back then, but you saved us. I always feel that all those years since then were stolen from us by you. Duang, you are a peerless thief, did you know that?"

Duang's lips trembled. She didn't know.

"I don't know. I'm not a thief."

Lilore turned away, not wanting Duong to see her tears, but her words were damp with emotion.

"Oh, of course. I was the thief back then."

then.

Duang's tears dripped onto the quilt.

She wanted to go back to the past.

-

Duang's hometown is a traditional small country in the southern continent.

In the southern continent, where most areas belong to manufacturers, small countries are fighting fiercely for a little bit of resources.

Duang's home is on the border of this small country. Her parents died in the war, as did Yuejiang.

She and Yue Jiang were neighbors. Yue Jiang was two years older than her and always considered himself her brother, smooth and sophisticated, like those wealthy manufacturers.

Lilore is a thief.

Liloer was an orphan from a neighboring country. She came here without knowing why and often stole food. Then one day, she stole into the homes of Duang and Yuejiang.

Duang looked at Liloor, who was acting coquettishly and obediently, but when she finally realized she couldn't fool him, she started to threaten him with a cold face.

In fact, no one was better off. The three of them just relied on each other to survive.

Later, life got better thanks to a philanthropist from the western continent who funded the construction of a very good school on the border of the country, allowing only displaced orphans to attend the school.

But the school was really well built, and the teachers were all top students from good colleges. The education that such a school could provide was better than the royal education that the princes and princesses in the country could receive.

So, the royal family members forced their way into school. The philanthropist from the western continent was furious, and she said that unless the royal family members could help the common people, she would withdraw the teachers she hired.

That’s how Duang met her other teammates.

There was Prince Dos from her country, Prince Monte from the neighboring country and his niece Jacqueline who was the same age as her.

Separated by national hatred and family feuds, they were not harmonious at first. But they spoke the same language and had the same cultural background. In the isolated school of war, they gradually began to understand each other.

Later, they became friends, but Duang knew that their friendship would not last forever. Dos and his friends knew even better that they were members of the royal family and did not need a group of commoner friends.

It's just that sometimes, feelings can't be forced, can't be controlled, and can't be easily taken back.

Duong was incapable of flattery, unconcerned with the situation, and always spoke directly. She never changed, and Jacqueline, fanning her, warned her, "Duong, if you learn those flattering ways, I won't like you anymore." Dos and Monte also said that they were princes and would be kings in the future, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Duang didn't take it seriously. These words were spoken when the mood was good, but the nobles were fickle and would take back their words and pretend they had never said anything.

Things took a turn for the better when she awakened her magic.

It was summer vacation at that time, and they followed Doss to visit the estate of Doss's cousin Lansjia.

Duang wasn't good with polite words, and Lansgar disliked her. Lansgar also disliked the princes and noble ladies of neighboring kingdoms. She preferred Lilore because she was the youngest and spoke sweetly. A former thief, Lilore was incredibly perceptive. Whenever tensions arose, she was always the first to intervene and defuse the situation. Everyone, including Duang, loved Lilore.

Jacqueline had always suspected that Duong was jealous of Lilore, and one day, Jacqueline pointed it out. Jacqueline said, "Duong, I don't believe you aren't jealous of Lilore at all. Everyone likes her, and she's loved by everyone."

Duang shook his head.

Jacqueline said she was a fool, pinched her face again, and when it turned red, she let go, rubbed her face and said she would take care of her for the rest of her life.

Lanska also said this to Lilore. Lanska liked Lilore very much.

When they went to the mountains to play, Lanska only let Lilore hold the hilt of her sword. Lanska was a royal knight, and her sword was a heirloom left to her by her parents, and even her cousin Dos was not allowed to touch it.

The accident happened on the mountain.

Duong didn't understand what it was at the time, she didn't know it was magic. She just couldn't move forward.

She looked at her friends and held them close.

"Landslide. It's dangerous. You'll all die."

Her words are never pleasant to hear.

Yue Jiang looked at her and thought she was scared, so he tried to smooth things over and said he would stay with her.

Duang did not take back her words. She grabbed Lilore and Jacqueline's sleeves tightly to prevent them from going any further.

Lansjia didn't like her, but as the oldest member present, she thought about it for a while and then made a decision quickly.

"Then we won't go to the mountains to play today."

But it was too late.

The mountains shook and the earth trembled, and they fell from the mountains and were scattered to different places.

Du Ang was held in Yue Jiang's arms, unharmed. But Yue Jiang was unconscious, and Meng De was slammed into the mud. Du Ang was stunned for a moment, then she stood up and dragged Yue Jiang to safety. Then she went to find the others. Meng De was too heavy for her to carry.

It's just that Monte thought he was going to be abandoned.

"Duang, I... I really consider you a friend. I can't decide my own background, but Duang, I have thought about your future, your future with Lilore and Yuejiang. Jacqueline, Dos, and I have considered you. We... we are friends, right?"

Monte was horrified.

Duang looked at him and nodded.

"I won't abandon you. Monte, we are friends. Yuejiang is here too. I can't drag you. I need to find the others, so don't move. If I can't find them, I'll be back soon and figure out a solution."

Monte responded eagerly, feeling a little ashamed. He really thought Duong would abandon him; he had a very despicable opinion of Duong.

"I'm sorry, Duang."

"It's ok."

Duang really didn't think it mattered. She already had a lot going for her, and she was indeed protected. She had heard how Monte and the others had defended her at school, but she couldn't express her gratitude. She could only keep her head down and do the little things that were insignificant.

So she dragged the unconscious Dos back little by little, and found the conscious Lansgar, and together with her, she found Lilore and Jacqueline.

When she finished all these things, her body was all worn out and bloody, there was not a single piece of good skin on her hands, and in some places you could see the white bones.

Jacqueline cried while watching this.

Lansgar pursed her lips and together with Lilore pulled Monte out of the mud.

That night, when Duang was unconscious due to a high fever, the few people who were awake took turns to look after her. Duang didn't know that it was Lansgar who prayed the most to the gods, it was Lilore who knelt beside her and was willing to exchange her life for hers, it was Monte who said he would protect her for the rest of her life, and it was Jacqueline who stayed by her side to keep her cool.

At this time, there were still five days before they were rescued.

Dos and Yue Jiang woke up the next day. When they woke up, Lilore and Jacqueline fell down.

The strong desire to survive prevailed over everything. They no longer had the vigilance and hostility of the past, nor did they have class differences between nobles and commoners. They were just a group of people who wanted to live.

They are friends who depend on each other for life and death.

Duang was the center of their collective protection, and he could tell where there was food to eat and where there was danger.

Duang was their hope of getting out alive. Everyone except Lansjia had quietly asked Duang if they would die.

In fact, Duang didn't know. But Duang said calmly, no.

Because Duang said no, they believed that the situation was not hopeless. They were indeed rescued under Duang's leadership, and no one died in the disaster.

It is also because of this experience that they can completely open their hearts and become friends closer than family.

Monte and Dos, as princes of two nations, made a promise. No matter how the situation between their two countries changed, they would not attack their friend. As princes, they were sworn enemies, but as friends, they must forget their identities.

It was difficult, but they did it well. They grew up in a peaceful and ordinary way, playing and fighting.

When Duang was about to come of age, she was recommended by her school teacher to study in Mehdi.

Only Duang awakened his magic. She never thought that she could continue to be with her friends, even if it meant crossing the river, she said her goodbyes seriously.

Lilore's health is poor, and she'll get sick if her environment changes too much. Jacqueline is marrying age and is already choosing her fiancé. Dos and Monte are princes of the kingdom. Dos is busy fighting with his brother, while Monte is involved in the affairs of state.

As for Lansgaard, Lansgaard didn't like her, and Lansgaard was more than ten years older than them.

Duang felt the pain of parting, but her friends didn't cry. Only she felt a little sad. She wasn't the most important one among her friends. Maybe she wasn't important at all.

But as she walked with her luggage to the dormitory of Mehndi College, she saw her friends who were supposed to be in the southern continent.

"You want to escape from us? Impossible, Duang, you can't escape from my clutches."

"I'm worried about you coming here alone. Duang, I'm your fiancé, I'll be worried about you."

"Dos and I have already made arrangements. Being a prince is somewhat useful. Surprise? Unexpected? Dos and I have been watching Lilore these past few days, keeping her quiet to prevent her from losing her secrets."

……

Finally, Duang looked at Lansgaard.

"Thank you for coming. When will you be leaving?"

Lansjia choked.

"Why go back? Didn't you do your homework before coming to Mehdi? A team needs seven people, and I'm just enough. You haven't made any new friends in all these years, and you haven't adapted to others. It will be difficult to get along with others again."

Lanska said again.

"Don't think I'm here for you, Duang. I'm here for everyone."

Of course Duang knew. After all, Lanska had always disliked her. But she couldn't help but feel happy. She had been with her friends. She was also worried about the new environment and many things, but when everyone was around, she felt less afraid.

She could not have imagined the tragedy that would follow, and her ability to predict the future could not save her friends again.

Disputes between nations are inevitable. Dos and Monte will always have arguments, and when they grow up, they are bound to become enemies.

The first person to get into trouble was Yue Jiang. Yue Jiang found the murderer who killed his parents. When Yue Jiang went to seek revenge, he was hit on the head and never woke up again.

Because of crossing the river, Doss and Monte broke up.

After that, it was endless war.

Lansgar was a royal knight who met Monte on the battlefield. Both she and Monte died.

Duang was taking an exam at the time. After the exam, the first person she saw was Lansjia.

Lansgar waited a long time, not leaving until he had finished talking to her. Then Duong went to find Monte again.

Monte was already unconscious at the time, but when he saw her, he smiled subconsciously and asked her anxiously if she had any money. If not, he had put a lot of money under her pillow in the dormitory so that they could go out and play together during the holidays.

It has always been Du Ang who has been in charge of the funds for their outings. Everyone feels at ease when the money is in Du Ang's hands.

The war does not stop after death.

Doss and Jacqueline want to stop this. The deaths of Monte and Lansgar are enough to wake them up. However, they are missing.

Duang used all his tricks to find the location of Dos and Jacqueline. They were in the abyss.

But they disappeared in the southern continent, so how could they suddenly end up in the abyss? No one except Lilore believed Duang, and no one could help her.

These blows nearly cost Lilore her life. If Yuejiang hadn't been unconscious and Duang was the only one left, Lilore would have given up trying to hold on any longer.

Sometimes Duang didn't know why she was living. When she felt she couldn't hold on any longer, Monte and Lanska would appear in her dreams. Just like just now.

Lilore lay in her bed, her voice disembodied.

"Duang, sometimes I can't even feel pain. So, if you can still feel pain, that's a good thing."

"Ah."

Duang responded in a low voice.

It's almost dawn outside.

The wind is knocking on the window, it looks like it will snow today.

Just as Duang was about to speak, he saw Lilore falling asleep tiredly.

Duang lowered his head and murmured silently.

"Lilor, tell me, will you survive? Will Yuejiang wake up? Will Dos and Jacqueline come back from the abyss? Can I... hold on until then?"

The next second, she uncontrollably got the answers to these questions.

"Yes, yes, yes, I can."

The power of prophecy gave her the answer.

Duang's eyes were wet.

If her ability to predict the future saved her teammates back then, then her ability saved her now.

She knew what she was living for.

She will wait in pain and try to live until that day comes.
