In the sound of my prayers, Yanan loosened the collar a bit, it was still a little tight but it was not so uncomfortable, then she hooked the ring in the middle of the collar and pulled my head upwards to force it to the highest point.

"I said that I want you to think that you are mine every time you take a breath." Immediately afterwards, she leaned down and kissed my lips, and there was no rubbing movement, just a gentle touch.

After a while, she straightened up, wiped away some water stains from the corners of my eyes due to suffocation, and sighed: "It's so tempting."

In fact, during the more than a year when I was locked up with Yanan, she did not often have some physical relationship with me, including kisses, which can be counted on one hand.

She let go of me, then took out a delicate rope from the wooden box, passed it through the key, and hung it around her neck.

The lock is around my neck and the key is around her neck.

"Rest early." After fastening the key around his neck, Yanan said this and left.

After Yanan left, I lay down on the table, and my eyes met the shell again, thinking that I gave up on her so completely, and now she humiliated me so thoroughly, the good times between us will really be gone. As I thought, won't I be exhausted by the continuous pain and struggle in the future?

After we made up our minds, the following days were very sweet, even if we took on extremely difficult missions together, the two of us enjoyed it.And the turning point of the story between us occurred when I went back to China to visit relatives later.

At that time, my father wrote to me saying that my mother was sick and asked me to go back to visit, but the special team formed by me and Yanan was very helpful to the empire. The empire must be worried about me going back to visit alone, that Liubo The prince summoned us and arranged for Yanan to go back to the country with me on the spot, and the meaning revealed in the words obviously knew the relationship between Yanan and me. He probably thought that I would not be able to easily find excuses to stay. refused to come back in his own country.

In fact, I never thought about staying in my country and not coming back. After all, Yanan and I get along very well now, and now I can get exercise in working in the empire, so the empire arranged for Yanan to go back with me Things, I'm still very happy, after all, it's two people on vacation together.

After I went back, I found that my mother was really seriously ill, but this time they asked me to go back to China, and more importantly, they wanted to tell me a secret and their decision after struggling for a long time. They felt that the time was ripe.

At that time, I was sitting by my mother's bed, and he told me with a solemn expression that the statue in our country's temple originally held a scepter in its hand, and that scepter was later stolen by the empire.

That day, my mother pulled me to sit in front of the hospital bed, and my father stood aside with a solemn expression.

"Qinghe, you know the current situation of our country. It's just that we were able to save ourselves from becoming a vassal of other powerful countries. It's a pity that we lost that magic scepter."

I don't quite understand what my mother said, because they didn't tell me about these things about the country since they were young, just because they can always understand a little bit in such an atmosphere, and I am actually quite an ignorant princess.

"Do you remember the right hand of the statue in our temple?"

"I remember, when I was a child, I always asked other people that there should be something in the empty hand of the statue, but everyone, including you, has always ignored my question."

"The god statue originally had a magic staff in its hand, but it was stolen by the empire at that time long before the Zimu Spring dried up. If it weren't for the temple and the statue, it couldn't be moved. The one who left must have been gone long ago.”

"Why did the empire take our scepter?"

"It's been too long, and we don't know it very well. It's just that in the royal records, the temple is a symbol of our country. All the blessings are given to us by the god enshrined in the temple, including being able to protect ourselves. The reason why our country is named Fukasawa is also because of the deep blessings that our gods have given us. The empire was still a small country at that time. According to our inference, it may have stolen the divine power of the legendary god statue. Staff."

After hearing what my mother said, I really wanted to complain about the empire at the beginning. How could it be such shameless acts?

"But the person who stole the scepter didn't know that the scepter would have very little effect without the statue in our temple, and if our statue loses the scepter, it also loses the power of the god of war that can protect the country. It is said that after knowing that the scepter was stolen by the empire, there was a negotiation between the two. We explained to the empire the fact that the scepter is useless without the statue, and we wanted to take out a treasure with it. However, the empire refused to admit that it had stolen the scepter. Even though both parties knew that our envoy had seen the scepter there, the empire could still pretend that it had not stolen the scepter. This will happen, and I think the empire at that time held the heart that even if we didn't get it, we couldn't return this powerful God of War power to us."

I suddenly thought of Yanan, and I had a bad premonition in my heart. What did my father and mother mean when they told me this matter?I looked at my mother a little uneasy.

"Our country has reached a dying state. We must take back the magic scepter in order to save our country and our nation." Mother looked at me with a resolute expression and looked at me who was running around trying to avoid it, and then said: " Save... your brother."

I was taken aback for a moment and then asked worriedly, "What's wrong, brother?"

My father and mother took me to see my elder brother, he lay lifeless on the bed and did not move. My parents told me that if there was no magic wand, he might lie like this forever and never get up again.Only the return of the scepter and the power of protection on my body can save him.And only I, who has the power of protection, have the chance to successfully get back the scepter from the empire.

Yanan is a lover who is very good to me, and my brother is the best person to me since I was a child. I helped him once when I was young, but in the days to come, it is all because of his kindness to me. Maintenance, let me live like a real princess.Yes, I am actually just a child adopted by my parents, but no one knows this secret.

I was adopted by my parents since I was a child, and grew up as a princess of Fukasawa, but it is better to say that I was adopted by my elder brother than by my father and mother. My elder brother gave me the warmth and love that all relatives should give me, father My mother can't say it's bad for me, but what my brother gave me is really too much and too good.

My brother and I met near the temple in Fukasawa. He didn’t know why he appeared there by himself that day, and he sprained his feet, sitting there with a depressed face, and I happened to be a wanderer. I saw him and helped him up with difficulty. Back then, I was less than five years old at that time, and it was very difficult to support a little brother who was several years older than me. I was panting all the way, but I refused to accept his suggestion to ask someone to give up helping him by myself.

"There are a lot of bad people who bully people here. If you are hurt, I can't let you here alone." When I was young, I had the innocence and stubbornness unique to children.

I remember my brother smiled when he heard this sentence, he was so beautiful and warm, and he gently rubbed my hair, and when I helped him to the front of the temple, there was a smile A few people suddenly appeared and filed up, took him from my hand, and asked him carefully about his injuries, while I was isolated outside the encirclement, I was left alone for a while and felt that I was quite redundant, He trotted to go away.

After only two steps, I heard my little brother's anxious voice calling me: "Little girl, little girl!"

Hearing his cry, I scurried back to him again, "Brother, did you call me?"

"Well, you see that the body you helped me is covered in dust, go back with me to wash and change your clothes before going back, or your parents will scold you."

"Oh, that's how it is!" I said foolishly, "No need, I don't have parents and the clothes didn't help you to get dirty. Is it right, if there is nothing wrong with the little brother, I will leave first, or I will not be able to line up for the dry food distribution line if it is too late."

"Dry food team?" the little brother asked suspiciously. Before I could say anything, the people around the little brother told him: "It's a stall that distributes relief food to refugees."

"Refugees." The little brother repeated it blankly, and the people around him said: "This little girl is probably an orphan, how pitiful."

"Little brother, I'm leaving first." Being pitifully pitiful in front of someone made me feel very sad when I was young, but my heart was slightly sour, but I still pretended to say goodbye to my little brother and wanted to leave immediately.

"Wait a minute, little girl, my brother has something to ask for your help and I want to discuss it with you."

"But..." I wanted to say that it was really too late for me to line up to get the food, and I would starve, but looking at such a good-looking brother who made people warm, I couldn't say it.

"Don't worry, my brother has a package of dim sum here, so it's compensation for delaying your food delivery." So my brother took out what he said was a pack of dim sum, but in fact there were only three of them. The most delicious thing I have eaten in the first half of my life, I listened to my brother while eating.

"Little girl, my brother lives alone in a big house, but there is no one to accompany my brother. My brother feels very lonely and you are alone, so my brother wants to invite you to accompany me as a thank you. In the future, my brother will prepare for you. Lots and lots of delicious food."

I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it as delicious as these snacks?"

"Of course, there are many more delicious things than these snacks."

"More delicious?" I felt that my eyes must have shone brightly at that time.

"Yes, there are a lot of delicious food, do you want to come?" The brother at the time said and made an exaggerated big movement with his hands.

"Then, is there anything fun to do?" The nature of young children is not only greedy for food but also playful.

"Yes, there are a lot of fun, just as much as delicious food."

"Okay, then I'll accompany you!"

In this way, I became my brother's playmate, and I became a princess half a year later. After I was taken back by my brother, my parents didn't show any displeasure. I don't agree with the behavior of the children, but the royal family doesn't have many of me, and I don't lack my rations, and it's rare that my brother likes me, so they don't say much.

I stayed with my brother all the time during those six months, playing together was like his little tail, once I sneaked into the temple to play, ignorant, I was full of curiosity about the statue, so I crawled over the enclosure He climbed up, but accidentally slipped while climbing, and caught the statue's right forearm dangerously.But the arm of the statue was very smooth and my hand was too small to grasp it completely, and it slid down a little bit, but just when I was thinking that it was over this time, my brother yelled My name rushed under the statue, and the final result was that I fell on my brother. Fortunately, the distance from the statue was not particularly high. In the end, nothing happened to me, but my brother's right arm was injured by me.

I hurt my brother, and I could clearly feel that my parents were very unhappy, but my brother was protecting me, so they reprimanded me a little bit, and didn't say anything too serious.But looking at my brother's pained expression, I feel guilty.So I secretly ran to my parents to apologize and admit my mistakes, but I actually didn’t know that my brother didn’t tell the truth to my parents. My brother also knew that the gods in the temple were inviolable. He was injured, and these two reasons put together made my brother afraid that even he would not be able to fully protect me, worried that I would be taken away from him.

When I confessed my mistake to my parents, they asked me in amazement, "You said you climbed the statue?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I hurt my brother."

"How did you climb up? How did you fall? Did you get hurt?" The series of questions my parents asked seemed to be very concerned about me.

"I'm not hurt." I wondered if I was fine. Didn't my brother, my father, and my mother know who was hurt?But I still honestly answered the questions raised by the two of them, "I just climbed up like that. The arm of the statue is too thick. I didn't hold it, and it slipped off if I didn't pay attention..." I stated the facts to them very guilty. .

"You said you held the arm of the statue?" Mom and Dad confirmed with me with obvious surprises on their faces.

"Here, it's an arm, right?" I gestured and shook the position a little above my wrist.

I remember that after getting my confirmed answer, my mother even shed tears, and the father next to her patted her on the back and comforted her and said: "This is our son's blessing. We have been looking for it for so long but we didn't expect it to happen by chance." brought it back."

I don't understand what they mean. I only know that the next day I will become the Princess Her Majesty as everyone calls me, with my own independent room. Be respectful, I have become a real little princess in everyone's mouth.

It wasn't until I was 16 years old that I got the power of the gods bestowed by the statue in the temple that I finally knew the reason. My parents have been looking for children who are suitable to bear the power of the gods in the crowd and cultivated them. The children found can at most touch the feet of the statue, and no higher.But I was able to climb onto the statue, grab the head of the statue and hold the hand of the statue. To them, I was like an unexpected surprise.Although there is a purpose, but after I became a princess, as parents, they can’t say that they are not good to me. I have everything as a princess, and sometimes it seems that I have more than my brother. I have my own glory. , but in my heart, I have always felt that the huge glory I got for nothing must have to pay at least an equal responsibility or price, right?

Because of my childhood experience and the responsibilities I was sure I would have but not very clear about, I became a person who likes to suppress myself and look weak and cowardly, but even if I suppressed me, I was not a puppet, nor was I. There are still ordinary people's emotions, but they are no longer as extreme and pure as when they first entered the imperial city.

But after going to the Empire, I was able to let go of the unknown pressure in my heart for a while, and the things I experienced afterwards also made me more agile. I met Yanan and many comrades in arms there, and everyone worked hard to complete it. Every task made me re-experience all kinds of extreme emotions, and made me, who was habitually depressed, give birth to rebellious signs in my heart. I no longer willingly return to the original arrangement, but I don’t know in life.

So when Yanan confessed, under the background of that wonderful atmosphere, before my brain had time to carefully think about what accepting means what I will face in the future, and I didn't sort out and arrange my own way out, I chose to be with you. When Yanan was together, I always thought that there would be no big deal, so now I have to face such a situation.

It is impossible for me to watch my brother lie on the bed quietly, motionless and lifeless for a lifetime.

But asking me to steal the imperial scepter is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Yanan. When our affection is strong, asking me to choose to stand on the opposite side with her is really a big blow to me. How do I make a decision?

My mother saw my hesitation and she didn't force me, but just said: "Think about it yourself." Then she and my father left my brother's room, leaving me there alone.I was really entangled, so I walked all the way to the temple. I stayed for a while passing by the place where my brother had sprained his feet when he was a child, and then continued to walk to the temple. I stared at the lifelike statue inside, a majestic statue.

It was my elder brother who changed my life, and this idol changed my life again. I seem to have seen the anxious and worried look on my elder brother’s face when I was about to fall from the idol that day. look.

Yanan actually followed me when I was in a daze, she patted me on the shoulder lightly, I turned around and saw it was her and gave her a smile back.

"What's the matter? It seems that something is wrong with you? I have been following you since just now."

"It's okay, I suddenly recalled something from my childhood."

"I see you just looked at this idol for a long time."

I suddenly got excited and couldn't help but want to tell Yanan the story about this statue.

"Do you know that my power of protection comes from this statue, it is the power it bestows on me, and he chose me to inherit the power of protection when I was 16 years old."

"It turns out that this is how your power of protection came about. I have heard some stories about this temple and statue in your country." Yanan responded to me softly.

"Then do you know about the divine rod?" I asked her anxiously, but she was silent when she saw my hasty expression, so I continued: "This statue originally held a divine rod in its hand. But now this divine scepter is in your empire’s treasury, I heard that if it wasn’t because of this statue that it couldn’t be moved, it would probably be in your empire’s treasury now.”

Yanan simply said: "I heard some rumors in the chat, it was a long time ago." She didn't say anything more, presumably she didn't want to involve the relationship between the two of us. These long-standing national hatreds and family hatreds are gone.

"Go back early, I think your complexion is not very good."

Today, I was really depressed and uncomfortable. I heard Yanan’s words but didn’t respond to her. I just wanted to find someone to confide in, so I went on to say: “I’m actually not the biological daughter of my father and queen mother, I’m just theirs. Adopted adopted daughter, it’s just that no one knows about it.” Seeing Yanan’s surprised eyes, I continued: “I used to be just a wandering orphan, after I met my elder brother by chance, I was adopted by my parents by chance. Since then, I have never been homeless or hungry in my life, and I still enjoy the care and love from my parents and elder brothers.”

I also feel that it is a very strange thing for me to tell my happy and lucky past in a sad way. Even I can detect my abnormality, let alone a smart person like Yanan, but she has nothing Said it was just a gentle pat on my back.

"Even though I later saw many adopted little girls around my age in the imperial city, I learned from the sidelines that my father and mother adopted me not simply because my elder brother loved me, but because they had other purposes. But it still doesn’t stop me from respecting and loving them, and it doesn’t stop us from being a family, because my brother is really good to me, so good. So good that I can ignore everything and continue to be my innocent little princess.” By the end I was crying silently.

I remembered more and more clearly the many things my brother had done for me since I was a child, and then I thought of how he was lying on the bed without making a sound. Although the pain was about to go crazy, I finally made up my mind that the magic scepter must be stolen!I can't just watch my brother lie on the bed lifelessly for the rest of his life. I want to see his warm smile, pampering and tolerant expression, and I want to see his vivid appearance again.

Tears flowed even more, maybe because after knowing this decision, Yanan and I will never be the same again. It is impossible for me to tell her that I want to steal the scepter. The Scepter is loyalty and righteousness, but for Yanan, it is a past that is not clear about right and wrong. She may not help me, because she is really good to me, but she is such a one-hearted person. The imperial general of the empire, she never does anything to harm the empire, she is my lover but she is also the general of the empire, help me or not, keep silent or confess me, I don't want to change the loyalty and love mixed with our emotions Cheng chooses to place in front of her eyes.

Yanan hugged me who was crying and gently comforted me, but I cried more and more fiercely. When I finally calmed down, Yanan said softly: "Go back, I have to believe that your brother will be fine."

Hearing Yanan's words, I stiffened and asked her: "You know?" After all, this is a secret, and I was told by my parents just now. Before that, I always thought that my brother was just ordered to go out.

When I went to find you, your parents had just separated from you. They happened to be talking about your brother. I didn’t mean to listen. I happened to walk outside the wall and heard their words. I saw you walking away with a strange expression. I was worried about what happened to you. It was an accident, so I chased after him. Originally, I just heard them say that your brother is not good. Now you are crying like this, so I can guess the general idea. I didn't want to mention it, but I couldn't help but want to encourage you.

Hearing what Yanan said, my heart was relieved. I really don't know what to do if she hears the key words.

"Let's go, let's go back." I nodded in response and left the temple with Yanan.

"Go back and wash your face and take a good rest. Your eyes are swollen from crying." Yanan said while pinching my face with a little affection, but her action reminded me of my brother and me. Having made up my mind, I simply hummed as a response, and because of the guilt that gradually rose in my heart, she was one step ahead. At this moment, I dare not and I don't have the courage to look directly into her eyes that are still full of love.
