Awakening of Rebirth

After dinner, Baozi found a relatively secluded rockery by himself, hugged his knees and curled up in a ball, staring at the clouds in the sky and stared blankly.

Before he knew it, he had spent four nights inside the high wall the dwarf had built.

The night slowly fell in this comfortable and quiet garden. After more than a year of eating and sleeping, the already tired body and mind did not get any relaxation here.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to sneak away, but he didn't know whether it was because of Irene's escape a few days ago, or because he was being targeted by Mr. Angus from unknown sources. a lot.People from the outside will definitely not be able to get in, and it will be difficult for people inside to get out.

I don't know how everyone is doing now, whether they are also worried about him.

Baozi was preoccupied when he heard light footsteps in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw little Irene's double "claws" attacking him, and the volume of "Yahah" in a low voice was extremely astonishing. Prepared, but still frightened him to shiver uncontrollably.

Irene frowned and giggled a few times, and took a few steps forward with her skirt in hand, and sat next to him: "Why are you hiding here?"

Baozi thought for a while and said, "Clean."

"Whoever quarreled with you, I'll teach him a lesson!" Irene stretched out her fist, frowning.

Since the day Baozi left home to study, he has been looked down upon by others and has been bullied all the year round. Except for Chang Sheng and the others, no one has ever defended him verbally. To him, there was also an inexplicable warmth.

Or maybe it's more than just warmth... He felt a slight heat in his ears, and subconsciously turned his head to look away: "It's for no reason, why are you being so nice to me?"

"What do you mean by no reason?" Irene patted Baozi's shoulder and said, "We are in trouble together, we can be regarded as life and death friends!"

"That's it... then it's called adversity, and then we can be friends of life and death?" Baozi couldn't laugh or cry, trusting others so easily, should I say she is naive or stupid?

"Otherwise?" Irene asked back, "Does it count if one of them dies?"

Irene looked at Baozi with pure eyes. After all, she is a pampered princess, and it is easy to think things too simply. Baozi just shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Not really."

He thought of those partners along the way, and said earnestly: "We have experienced many things together, we trust each other, and we are even willing to sacrifice our lives at critical moments, and firmly believe that even if I am gone, they will take the unfinished road for me Done, do what you haven't done. This is the friendship between life and death."

"Live well, why do you think about such complicated things." Irene shook her head, pouted, and looked at the dim moon in the sky.

This time, Baozi didn't speak.Because not everyone is doing well.

After being quiet for an unknown amount of time, Irene suddenly raised her hand and stretched her waist, then turned to look at Baozi: "What's your name? Where are you from?"

"Huh?" Baozi didn't react for a while.

"What's your name and where are you from?" Irene asked again patiently.

"My name is Bao..." Baozi was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly realized something, shook his head in self-disgust, and said again: "Call me Yousen, Yousen Field. My home is in Anota, Far East Longde A small village in the town."

"What? Did you say a fake name?" Irene asked again.

Baozi was stunned, looked up at Irene, felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, then turned his head and said: "Baozi, a nickname given by a friend."

"Why?"

Why... was expelled from the academy back then, and didn't want to go home in despair, and lived like a beggar. He was really hungry and dizzy, and his hands snatched two buns from Changsheng, and he got this nickname from then on, so much so that he almost forgot My real name... Don't tell this kind of thing to a little girl I've only known for a few days.

"Stop talking again, you look so mysterious." Irene rubbed the corner of her skirt in dissatisfaction, and before Baozi could respond, she said again: "You look very worried... The queen mother said that if you tell yourself what's on your mind If you trust someone, then the burden can be shared by two people.”

"..." Not all worries can be shared.

"I also have something on my mind, how about we share it with each other?" Irene said, stretched out her delicate little finger, and shook it in front of Baozi's eyes: "Lagou, never tell anyone."

"..." There are some things that he must keep secret.

"I am very concerned about the answer to a question, what is it like to like someone." Irene didn't care whether Baozi agreed or not, so she said on her own: "It is said that if two people like each other, they will become husband and wife, and then Together forever. But... I don't feel like this."

A child who is under sixteen, no matter what thoughts he has in his heart, it is difficult to get attention. After all, the most favorite sentence of an adult is: "You are still young, what do you know?" When you are young, you really don't know much, but you are still sad , These are the most real feelings in my heart, do they also need to be sensible or not to distinguish true from false?

Eileen felt that her mother was not happy since she was a child.

The queen mother was the first woman of the king's father. Although she was not the only one, she was also the only queen of Eggert for decades. Even after his death, the king's father did not make another queen.

But Irene knew that every time the queen mother looked at her father, her eyes were as indifferent as if she was looking at a complete stranger. She had no feelings for her father, otherwise she would not have been with her father for decades, and only gave birth to lost her daughter.

In Irene's memory, every time the father came here, it was an excuse to see his daughter, but his eyes lingered on the back of the mother, and finally left with a sigh.At that time, she was extremely curious, and repeatedly asked the senior servants repeatedly, but no one told her why, they just shook their heads.

Only once, when the queen mother had a quarrel with the king father, Irene heard some words.

——You know that he gave it to me, why...why did you use it to hurt him?

— because I don't want him to come back!You promised me, you should have broken it long ago!

——I can't break my heart.

——for so many years.

——Well, for so many years, you have kept me like this by your side, is it interesting?

——I'm used to it, but it's okay.

That night, after the father left, the queen mother cried very sadly. It had been a long time since she was so excited. The young Irene was so scared that she cried with her until she fell asleep.

Later, when the queen mother passed away due to illness, she murmured a name that Irene had heard a long time ago when she was unconscious.

—Laki, take me away... take me away...

Only then did Irene understand the meaning of what the queen mother said that night.It turned out that the queen mother's heart had been given to someone else, so she couldn't pretend to be the king father anymore.

"Laki..." Baozi was extremely sensitive to this name.

Erin nodded: "Yes..."

It was this name that made her understand many things.

Lackey Nelson, few people in Eggert will be unfamiliar, and even many storytellers still love to mention his stories.

He is the only son of the Nelson family, a rare mage among the dwarves, a powerful celebrity who used to be around the king, and a weirdo who never cared about other people's eyes.

By the way, he also has a list of names that are so long that it is a headache, and every time he introduces himself, no one is allowed to interrupt him.

It is said that it was proof of his youthful rebellion.

At that time, his elders asked him to memorize a long and cumbersome family tree. If he could not recite it, he would starve. He stuffed all the names of his ancestors into his own name as a prank, and introduced himself loudly everywhere. He has been educated countless times, but each time he accepts it humbly and refuses to change it. Finally, the elders in the family give up one after another, and they no longer dare to give him other harsh discipline.

The Nelson family has been loyal to the Eggert royal family for generations, and Lackey has been very close to the king who was a prince since he was a child. When he returned from school, the king had just registered, and he specially hosted a banquet to welcome him in person, which is incomparable envious.

But no one expected that overnight, the Nelson family would be convicted of "betrayal of the royal family and attempting to seek power and usurp the throne". arrested.After three months of rigorous trial, more than 200 heads of the Nelson family fell to the ground, and only Lackey was pardoned.

In the eyes of the world, Lackey knew nothing about the conspiracy of the Nelson family. The king thought that he had never had a heart of betrayal, and he was his best friend, so he gave him an amnesty, hoping that he could stay and replace him. The Nelsons remain loyal to the crown.But the family was unfaithful first, and he deserved it when he fell to this point, but it is absolutely impossible for him to bear this disloyal surname and continue to be loyal to his exterminating enemy.

Ultimately, Lackey decided to leave Statar.

The king has always appreciated him very much, and gave him a dagger as a token before he left, saying that if one day he changes his mind, he can come back at any time, and all the power once owned by the Nelson family can be returned to him.Lackey didn't stay, and he didn't come back after leaving. Since then, he has completely disappeared in Eggert.

Because no one knew that the king fell in love with the same woman as his brother, but that woman did not have him in her heart.

Jealousy makes one's heart terrible, just as someone in Nelson's family suddenly made an attack, the king finally made up his mind to kill them all, so the woman had to stand up, and she exchanged her life's freedom for her lover's life.

And the dagger given to Lagi by the king at the end was formally cast and enchanted by Lagi himself, and it was used as a token of love for the woman.

……

"Later, the servant who has been with my mother since I was a child told me that the place my mother wanted to go most in her life was Cosmon, which was her hometown. Lord Lagi once promised her that she would resign and retire when she was old, and She went back together to live a simple and ordinary life. The king father was really wrong, he deprived the queen mother of all the happiness in this life, but he couldn't be happy..." Irene said, her eyelashes drooping slightly, she was silent After a few seconds, he muttered in a low voice, "So, I've always wanted to... I want to go back to Cosmon for my mother, see her hometown, and live the simple life she yearns for..."

This child is really naive and sensitive... Born in such a place with little freedom, it is a rare courage to persist in those unrealistic thoughts in his heart.

Baozi couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Irene's hair, wanting to comfort him but didn't know where to start, so he had to recall what Irene said in his heart, but suddenly a strange feeling flashed in his mind... ...That incident back then seemed a bit strange!

"Do you know why the Nelson family suddenly betrayed your father?"

Erin rubbed her eyes and said, "I don't know."

"I don't know..."

He retracted his hand calmly and touched the dagger hidden in his waist.

Unexpectedly, that Lagi had such an identity, so this thing might really allow him to enter and leave the Jakaron Palace freely... It's just that it must attract the attention of the king.
