【Gillay】Beauty and the Beast

This is a story without a princess, so let's keep it simple.

This story takes place in a distant country, and the royal family of this country is named Goldbaum.

The founding of this country has a long origin.And some started with, the great great giant Rudolph the Great that people sang about.

At that time, the time mentioned here was very, very far away, farther than the time it took for the light of the moon to shine on the sun, and there were existences among humans who could use magic.

But people are different, and that is one of the immutable truths, that there will always be differences between people.Therefore, the types of magic that can be used in different families are not the same, and among all human beings, more than [-]% of them cannot use magic or can only emit weak light through the pear tree.

In this land on which countries and territories are divided piecemeal like a chessboard, men quarrel and fight when they have their own camps and each other's camps.

So on this continent, wars of annexation and division took place like a real chess game.

So our Emperor Rudolph finished dressing up and appeared on the stage in costumes.

When he appeared on the stage, he held the banner that only those who can use magic are truly superior.As for what is a high-level person and what is a low-level person, he probably doesn't know either.

In short, he is stronger than anyone else. God-given powerful magic and iron-blooded judgment made the emperor quickly swallow the whole continent like a snake's mouth.He led the people to unify the entire land full of contradictions and partial contradictions.

People cheered on the land where blood was shed.Then the giant shed more blood on the land.

He announced——Only the noble royal family can use the supreme power of magic.it is known.When a person is on the throne, what he says can become the corresponding thing.

As a result, the emperor's language became a weapon in the hands of soldiers, the words of informers among people became gallows, and executioners became a popular profession.

The emperor firmly believed that as long as the people had no magic and could only use steel and stone, they were no more than obedient house slaves.

Thus, a peace that has lasted for hundreds of years has come, paved with pieces of meat, mourning, and singing and dancing.

One day when the sun was rising as usual, a ten-year-old boy named Siegfried Gilfias bent down in the flower field, carefully removing the insect eggs from the stems of winter roses bit by bit.These fiery red flowers are about to open, and it's a lovely time.

Anyone looking at the appearance of this red-haired child will be amazed at his young age and his patience and seriousness that are completely inconsistent with it.

In the Goldbaum dynasty, the king's child would become king, the chancellor's child would become chancellor, and Ziggy Jr.'s father was a gardener at a huge summer house in the outskirts, so he was destined to continue that profession in this life.

If his masters—the aristocrats of the palace saw Little Zig, they would only praise Rudolf Goldbaum's sagacity, and they could see how these inferior people used them so accurately. Families like Ace are suited to serve flowers for their appreciation.

"you."

Because he heard the movement behind him, Little Zig paused for a moment and then stopped what he was doing. He was so serious that he didn't even notice that someone was approaching the flower field.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

It's winter now, and it's in the mansion of the nobles. Little Zig can't think of anyone who can come in, but basic courtesy is still required.

Maybe the hunter who was hunting in the forest in the outskirts went wrong, he thought.The weather is really cold, and it must be very hard to go hunting in the forest. If he wants to, please sit in the hut in the flower field and eat something.

But when he turned around, he couldn't make a sound.

In front of Chigurh stood a boy about his height.The luxurious golden hair is like the sunlight shining through the leaves in summer, and the beautiful ice-like pupils are staring straight at him.

What a nice view.

Gilfies thought, why is there an angel standing in front of him?

"name?"

It took a while for Gilfies to find his voice.

"...Siegfried Gilfias."

The blond angel pouted, which reminded Zig of pink rose petals swaying in the wind in summer.Then the rhythmic, crystal clear voice said:

"Siegfried or something, what a cheesy name."

"Uh."

"Has anyone ever told you?"

But the other party didn't wait for the red-haired boy to answer: "But Gilfies is a good surname. It's like the wind blowing through the garden. I'll call you Gilfies after I decide."

"Yes."

Seemingly dissatisfied with the answer, the blond angel frowned.Gilfies' blank brain, which has been down since just now, finally realized what he should say, but unfortunately, his current brain can't calculate anything, so he had to say all the things he had planned before. .

"If you like, please go to the hut over there and rest for a while."

After hearing himself say these words, he realized that something was wrong. Of course, the other party could not be a hunter who was also forced to hunt in winter, and he even invited him to the simple gardener's hut... Why would the nobleman do so at this time? What about coming here?

Just when the question came up, the man had already strode towards the hut with interesting strides.

"It's really cold in here."

"Yes, I'm sorry, the fireplace is only available in the mansion."

The red-haired boy shut the door shut, trying to keep the wind and snow out.The blond-haired angel was wearing a plush coat, but her fair little face was still a little red because of the cold.

So Gilfies poured rough hot tea for him with apology, and he also took out the sandwich his mother had prepared for him and handed it to the other party.

"it's not your fault."

"Eh?"

"Whether it's cold here or something else, it's not your fault, Gilfies doesn't need to apologize."

The icy blue eyes looked at the sandwich with shriveled vegetables and dried ham, took off the leather glove on his hand, and tore it in half: "My name is Reinhard von Mujer, Gilfies, I'm going to share this sandwich with you."

The blond angel stretched out his hand, and Gilfies immediately wanted to step forward, and then he found that he was still wearing dirty gloves, so he took them off immediately, and at this moment, his not-so-fine hands were warmed covered up.

The golden light that looked like a firefly or a star floated slowly from the beautiful fingertips, wrapping Gilfies' hands working in the cold.

Gilfies looked at those shining eyes like ice, and shook him back softly and firmly.

"Let's be friends, Gilfies."

Gilfies couldn't think of a reason for rejecting the angel's call.

So, on a winter day when the sun still rises, in a corner of the suburbs that no one knows, a little down-and-out nobleman and a gardener's son whose clothes are covered in mud hold hands tightly and make an oath.In the running of the world, a brand new gear started to turn.

In the days that followed, the Gilfies family knew the origin of the new owner of the mansion.The Mujells were knights of the Empire, in other words, the lower floors of the country's highest building.

Originally, Muzier's head still had an official position in the State Department, and even though his blood in the royal family was already quite weak, he could still possess a certain degree of magic.But since his wife's misfortune, he has been depressed, and the high-ranking nobles couldn't see his bad luck, so they sent him to the suburbs to manage an endless forest and collect small taxes.

To put it simply, this family was abandoned like a football in the mansion where only one gardener was taking care of it this winter.

The little Gilpheys couldn't quite understand, since there are both commoners and nobles, why is there a gap between the nobles?But he only knew that even though it was unfortunate for Reinhardt, he was still grateful from the bottom of his heart for meeting Reinhardt.

"Gilfies, I don't belong here."

While helping the red-haired boy to tidy up the soil, judging whether the thickness of the snow would hurt the seeds under the soil, and keeping warm for the tough flowers that were about to bloom in the severe cold, Reinhardt was in the bare loess field. Li said.

Gilfies didn't answer. He had been with Reinhardt for a while and knew the character of the other party, so he waited for his companion to continue talking with patience and a heart far beyond his original age.

He knew that there were originally four families living together in Mujere's house before the unfortunate accident, but there were only two people who came here with the winter wind and silence.

"One day, I will go to the palace and rescue my sister, Gilfies."

Gilfies nodded sincerely. He didn't know whether Reinhardt belonged to the glorious palace, but he hoped from his soul that he could walk on all the paths he wanted.

Reinhardt smiled back at his friend, his already audacious ambition, so far known only to the little red-haired boy.Then he looked at the other party's movements, and asked with some doubts:

"Why did you cut off this rose, Gilfies?"

"Yes, it's a pity, but this child can't hold on anymore, Lord Reinhardt."

Gilfies lowered the corners of his eyes, his jade-like blue eyes exuded a gentle light: "Cut off the upper part now, maybe new branches will grow after spring."

"Is that so, Gilfies is very gentle..."

The little boy with blond hair bowed down, he spread his palms, and the golden particles spread out.Some haggard buds seemed to feel something, swayed gently, and then bloomed like smiling faces, stretching out their layered petals.

"Since we have come to this point, it is better to bloom."

Reinhard smiled slightly, imitating what Gilfies had done before, and cut off the stalks obliquely. The golden light particles smoothed out the spikes, and Reinhard inserted the blooming flowers in Jillfies. Faez's breast pocket.

"It's as beautiful as your hair color, Gilfies."

"...Thank you so much, Reinhard-sama."

Gilfies didn't react a little, but felt that the rose was burning his chest like a flame.He sighed in a panic: "Magic is really... very convenient."

"Ah, indeed."

Reinhard restrained his smile, and he pursed his lips and said, "Do you think this is wrong, Gilfies?"

"wrong?"

"Magic is very convenient, of course. As long as there is magic, even a rebel army gathered by tens of millions of people can laugh it off. Just wave your hand, and a castle can rise from the ground. Gilphia, as long as there is enough Powerful, magic can even completely isolate an area, ignoring changes in time, and exist forever.

"But it's not right that only the royal family can have magic, don't you think so, Gilfies?"

"Lord Reinhardt!"

"It's okay, it's okay, Gilfies, I'm only telling you, there are only us and Qiangwei here."

Reinhard smiled and said: "Obviously the nobles didn't do anything, just because they have Goldbaum's blood, they can enjoy some, which is unreasonable. It's just that this kind of unreasonableness has been around for too long, and people are used to it." That's all."

"Now that I think about it, before Rudolph, there were many people who were neither royal nor noble, and could use magic. The days when only 'those people' could use magic didn't exist from the beginning, Gilfies——

"Could it be that what Rudolph can do, I can't do?"

The golden-haired angel surrounded by golden particles, what a, what an unforgettable sight.

"Who else is there but you?"

Gilfies responded eagerly:

"Please let me accompany you."

"Of course, Gilfies, we are close friends, and we will not be separated."

For Gilfies, there is nothing more wonderful than having the same dream as the blond angel.

The red-haired boy felt joy from the bottom of his heart to be by Reinhardt's side.And for him, if not as a close friend, even in any other capacity, as long as he can embark on the same path as Reinhardt, he will be very happy.But what kind of identity should he stay with Reinhardt, this matter has not been really considered for himself until the end.

When the spring melted the snow, the two boys set out from the house by the forest to join the army of the kingdom.

At this time, Gilfies and Reinhardt were both 11 years old.

The days that followed became fast.In the army under the protection of no one, the two can only grow up by relying on their own excellent qualities and Reinhardt's shabby noble status.

For the two of them, no matter what, they can only use what they can to the extreme.

In the third year of entering the army, they began to be sent to various regions:

Sometimes the frontier, to scout out new lands for nobles to conquer.

For this they had set foot on a land covered in ice blue, lighter than Reinhardt's eyes.Here, even at a depth of tens of meters, the sea is still as clear as a mirror, so even a single fish cannot survive under such beauty.As long as they stand on the ice field, they will soon lose the feeling of their fingertips; for this reason, they have stepped on a piece of orange-yellow soil, where as long as they step on it, it will be like being wrapped in a toothless mouth.Here, just standing in the daylight for a while, the skin curls like flower petals; for this they have set foot on a black continent, where the hot earth bubbles and stares like eyeballs. watching them.

Later, it was more to suppress rebellions between territories.

The desperate resistance of the people is usually snuffed out at the beginning, usually the protest of nobles with their own noble magic order to break away from the royal family.

It's going to be a little more tricky.

This is usually the case, but according to Reinhardt, "It's just a group of mediocre people who know a little bit of magic, and it's not as difficult to solve as ice on the Valley of Silver."

Gilfies will always be the one to appease Reinhard. For Gilfies, who is not eager to fight, he would rather Reinhard's enemies will always be the arrogance that makes Reinhard unable to cheer up crazy people.

The best news is that thanks to these megalomaniacs who took turns going to the underworld, Reinhard's official position gradually rose, and they finally had the opportunity to meet the eldest daughter of the Mujell family who had been trapped in the palace. —Countess Griewards now.

Things are getting better, life is getting better, dreams are coming true.

Gilfies felt so from the bottom of his heart, sometimes at night, he often felt that all this was very incredible.Their ambitions seem so far away, but now they really want to pick off those stars.

"It's very beautiful."

Like music, like flowing water, like the rhythm of the galaxy, it is Reinhardt's voice.

"Oh?"

"Really, sister, the rose grove of Gilfies is really very beautiful, the palace is simply not comparable."

"Then I have a chance to go and have a look."

"where."

Gilfies finally blinked his eyes, which was rare, he was stunned.The first thing that came back to his sight was the hot almond cake and coffee.Then there are two siblings who are like angels.They are drinking afternoon tea in the picturesque courtyard.

It was a really... very pleasant moment.

"I haven't taken care of them for a long time. My parents are taking care of them."

Reinhardt smiled. Compared with the smile just now, there is still a taste of looking forward to the future. He said with determination: "There must be a chance, sister."

Anne Luojie responded with a warm smile to her younger brother who had sharp eyes. Her voice was also beautiful and gentler: "Tomorrow you are leaving again."

"It's okay, sister, please don't worry."

Gilfies also reassured: "Yes, Ms. Anne Roger. Although the area where the rebellion was launched this time is as far as the area of ​​Huo Xing, there are no nobles in it. Although the leader is called a 'magician', there are also some That is to say, they are not orthodox magic users."

"I trust you, Reinhardt, Ziggy, but please don't take it lightly."

"Okay, sister."

And Reinhard, who obediently agreed to his sister at this moment, has never tasted the slightest taste of defeat.
