Chapter 668 65. Two Princesses
Annan's struggle was stopped by this whisper.
"Who are you?"
The being did not speak, and retreated from the edge of the square with Annan in his arms.
Annan quietly activated the magic scroll. With dark vision, he saw a beautiful face without a left eye pressing against him.
"Princess...?"
Annan told the burnt girl not to do anything - she did nothing.
Following the "Prince" back to the darkness, when Annan thought he was going to retreat to the front hall, she led Annan into a side passage, pushed open the trap door behind a statue, and entered the dark secret room.
The "Prince" let him go, Annan observed her appearance, the dark eyes, the missing arms, the white skirt hanging on her body, the long gray hair simply tied with a rope...it was indeed the princess's. appearance.
“What’s going on?”
There is a fake princess in Huadu, and there is also one in Lost City?
"That princess is fake..." the princess said.
At first Annan thought the palace was invaded by a mysterious force, and the princess escaped from the square and hid here. As a result, the princess told her that the princess Annan saw from the beginning was fake...
"You mean I have been feeding..."
"Weird." The princess looked at him quietly. .
Ship in a Bottle exercised Annan's ability to identify falsehoods: "How do you prove what you say?"
"I remember everything in Yiwen City."
Annan doesn't remember, but he knows three things What happened on January 17th, two years ago?
“What happened on the evening of January 17, 998 in the Saint Laurent calendar?”
“In the evening...it was the time for the regular king’s meeting.”
"Who attended the meeting?"
The princess mentioned some names, and the Archbishop of Valencia was among them.
"Why do you remember so clearly?"
"I am not a mortal..."
If Lilith is the tower spirit of the mage tower, then the princess is from Lost City. The city spirit—and it was the gods who answered.
Annan still didn't completely believe her: "The "Prince" in the Circular Square became like this because I lifted the curse on her, what about you?"
"I don't know, it seems that her changes will also appear. In my case..." The princess lowered her head, "This is what I'm worried about...she stole my identity and became a real princess, and everything that happened to her will also happen to me... ”
The marks of being entangled by thorns still exist on the skin of the princess in front of her.
"Do you need it?" Annan raised the ship in a bottle in his arms.
"I am a human being, I don't need weird things..." the princess refused.
Annan really couldn't tell, so he had to say: "I can't tell which of you is real and who is fake...so I will use my own way."
"What?"
< br>...
Da-da-da-
The sound of footsteps echoing from the dark passage made the "Prince Queen" in front of the sealed door raise her head.
Annan, holding the ship in the bottle, emerged from the shadows: "I brought back the last body."
"Thank you..." the princess said softly.
Annan looked at her: "Behind it is a sad story."
"Are you interested in telling it?"
The princess' gentle voice carried a There was a hint of curiosity, but she was not in a hurry to ask Annan to hand over his body to her.
Annan didn't know whether she was disguising or something... Standing in front of the circular square, she told the story of the ship in the bottle and the bird in the cage. "Wenwen City is the place closest to the gods, but it still cannot eliminate the ugliness in the world..." The princess sighed softly. "I want to thank you for being willing to free the citizens who died in vain."
"It's not your fault. When the boy was caught by the nobles, the gods had been out of contact for a long time." Annan looked at Looking at the equally miserable princess, "I just don't understand... why did you lie to me?"
The raised eyes of the princess showed a hint of surprise, and suddenly: "Have you seen... her?"
“You know?”
"The entire Lost City is under my watch, of course I know..."
Annan guessed what would happen next: "Then, do you also want to say that she is fake?"< br>
"No...she is real."
The princess' words made Annan stunned, "I am also real..."
"I don't know if you are innocent. It's clear, but I'm a warlock..." Annan said euphemistically.
"Let me tell you a story..."
The little girl and her mother lived in a cabin in the woods without any restrictions. On this day, her mother said she wanted to go out and never see her again. Didn't come back. The little girl was scared and worried. On this day, a beast appeared outside the hut. It tried to break the glass and broke into the hut. The scared little girl thought that it would be great if she had an older sister...
Then the little girl's older sister appeared to protect her and fought off the beast.
Of course the little girl had no sister... When she woke up, the beast had left and she was covered in bruises.
"It's me..." the princess said.
No wonder what she suffered would be reflected in another princess...
"What can I do for you?" Annan asked.
"It's...no need anymore." The princess's gaze lingered briefly on the boat in the bottle.
Annan thought for a while, and then, like the previous two times, he approached the princess and placed the ship in the bottle in her hand.
"Are you willing to give it to me?" The princess looked up at him in surprise.
"You didn't lie, and she didn't lie. She doesn't need humanity, you need humanity...so there is no conflict between you."
"I thought you would suspect that I am a bad person..."
< br>"I did doubt it, but I thought that it was you who stayed here to resist the weird penetration." Annan said.
The princess showed a smile.
Nothing pleases her more than praising a devotee for the nobility of his devotion.
The damaged ship in the bottle turned to ashes in the hands of the princess. Annan looked at the thorns expectantly, but found that they did not wither, but seemed to come to life, gradually tightening around them.
"Why..."
A terrifying force suddenly broke out on the princess. When it touched Annan, it turned into a gentle push and pushed him out of the circle. shaped square.
The ground began to tremble... Not only the circular square, but also the entire palace and the entire Lost City began to tremble.
"Sorry, I lied to you..."
The thorns pulled the princess off the ground, entangled and tightened tightly, and pierced the princess's skin... No blood flowed out, and her thin outline gradually blurred, as if dissipating, turning into a faint but gradually strengthening light like the morning sun.
"The beast has not been driven away. It is hiding in the room and will rush out at any time..." The princess's whisper echoed in the circular square, carrying endless sadness.
"There is a price to pay for destroying this beast...and that is me."
The light emanating from the princess became more and more brilliant, and the thorns entangled in her were painful in this bright golden light. dissipate.
The brave little girl holds the ax tightly, in the name of her sister.
"That ring...just take it as a gift to you."
"The new king of Lost City."
