Ye Miao white face, eyes wide open.
The surrounding noise and the sound of the battle, in this with a little teasing sigh, are like a tidal wave receded a net. The fierce claws and teeth that grew out of the abyss, badly crushed her remaining trace of luck.
The past memories and occasional doubts in her mind, in this moment, were all torn apart and reorganized.
The mysterious young man Berial, who likes to pamper herself and shares her illness; the monsters who play with her and always pry into her heart; their contempt and disdain for the God of Light; the black-haired, red-eyed "devil's son"; Berial's age and features consistent with those of the late king's son ......
No wonder, no wonder Berial and the monster never appeared in front of her at the same time. Also, as the victim of captivity, Berial is not at all as afraid of the monster as she is ......
Because - from the beginning, they are the same person.
The monster is Berial and Berial is the monster.
In other words, the suspicion she had not long ago was not at all overthought, but was indeed true.
When she was lying on Berial's heart, she clearly heard the heartbeat. In that case, he had already sensed that she was suspicious at that time.
This time every night to meet with her, in the end is a good disguise of how good the evil monster ......
The tips of Ye Miao's fingers were trembling slightly.
She couldn't figure out what she had to offer, to deserve the trouble he went through to play two characters, one light and one dark, to tease her, was it just because of bad taste?
What would happen if she saw through his trick today and ended this long joke?
The absurdity, fear, and the bewilderment and anger after being fooled, hit her heart unceasingly. Ye Miao swallowed her saliva and found that she did not have the courage to look up and ask questions, only to turn around immediately and run away.
The sound of clothes rubbing against her ears, Berial suddenly tightened his hands around her waist and took her whole body into his arms from behind, pressing them together tightly.
The coiled serpent wrapped around its prey, squeezing the air out of its lungs. So much so that the latter can only crane his neck, to sacrifice-like posture to pant hard, to breathe through. And such a posture, just convenient for the predation of the viper.
Her ears were suddenly hot, and she incredibly felt her earlobe fall into a hot, wet mouth, and was rolled by her tongue, as if she was eating jelly, and let out a moist "tsk".
Ye Miao shivered and covered her mouth. The habit of making out over the years has long been imprinted in her body with indelible memories of pleasure, and in a moment, the spikes of resistance collapsed, and the knees were hopelessly weak.
The good thing is, Berial didn't do anything more excessive, soon let go of the poor soft flesh of the grinding, lips as if to leave her ear: "Do not be afraid of me. Ye Miao, I won't hurt you."
As if the devil sent a confusing exhalation, drilled into the ubiquitous hole, so that the listener erected the heart of the defense fell inch by inch.
Originally, he did not intend to let her know his true nature so soon.
There is a human word called "concern is chaos", and there is indeed its truth. As careful as he is, there will be a day when he is confused and reveals his foot.
However, she found out, it is not a big problem.
Anyway, no matter what, she can't escape.
Although it is clear that Berial is not a good type, but, hearing his assurance of "no harm will come to you", Ye Miao cannot help but think of the many traps he encountered after arriving in Franeiden - the frightening night in the library, the sudden attack of the hydra ...... If his breath had not sheltered her, she would certainly have died a long time ago.
Yes, he may lie about anything, but "protect her" this point, without the slightest hint of falsehood. The idea of this, she really is not so scared just now.
Berial smiled faintly and took her injured hand, coldly pecked down and kissed it, and stuck out his tongue and licked along the wound
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services. The first thing you need to do is to take a look, but you'll find that the wound that she made when she cut the rope, healed during the kiss, and even the scar is invisible.
In this world, only the light magic of the elves can heal the wound in an instant. Obviously, Berial did not use it.
Ye Miao was lost in thought for a while.
Where did this vast magic power of his comparable to that of a god come from?
Who the hell was Berial?
"I know you have many curious things." Berial caressed her face, "Don't be anxious, you'll get the answer soon. Come with me."
Ye Miao woke up like a dream and suddenly realized that up to now, no one around had noticed this teenager who appeared out of nowhere. Even she, as if a layer of blinders had been applied, became a transparent person in the eyes of the soldiers, which was really bizarre.
That compartment.
The forces of the Grand Prince's side had taken control of the whole scene. The rebels who had lost their power were put in shackles and escorted to the prison one by one.
As for the chancellor's youngest daughter who intended to attack Ye Miao with a dagger during the melee, she was thrown into a coma after being flung against the wall and still hasn't woken up.
After this mess, she will definitely not be able to be the Grand Prince Consort. However, she is not the main culprit, for the sake of the Chancellor, the Grand Prince will not really want her life, only to order people to carry her down, first to find a physician to heal the injuries, and then to follow up on the crime.
The queen was assisted to the inner hall and took the antidote in time to relieve the pain in her abdomen. Despite the fact that she had not yet recovered her strength, she came out with the help of her maids.
Seeing the tables and chairs overturned, the wrecked room, and the second prince kneeling on the floor with his head hanging in dismay, the queen's expression was sad and complicated, and changed several times overnight.
Although she has different degrees of preference for the two children out of selfishness, but the second prince is ultimately her own flesh and blood, it is impossible to say that there is no feeling at all. The conflict between the two sons is so big that they have to meet each other and make a mess. One of them even went so far as to poison her in order to fight for power - such a blow to a mother must have been enormous.
With the rebels escorted away, the bedchamber was much emptier, and the second prince was the only one left as a prisoner.
Perhaps because he was concerned about the second prince's involvement with dark magic, lest he take the opportunity to escape after going down, the grand prince ordered in a deep voice: "After escorting him down, search him immediately and have the priest of the Holy See watch. After that, put him in solitary confinement, and no matter who wants to see him except me, he will not be released. Don't believe anything he says, and don't take it lightly."
The soldier's officer nodded, "Yes! Your Highness."
The two soldiers walked toward the Second Prince, ready to twist and escort him away as they had been told. But before they could get close, the second prince straightened up and reluctantly yelled, "Wait!"
The first prince sneered, "What is it, my brother? Save your sophistry for later."
"This time, I am the one who is not as skilled as you and underestimated you, success will make you a king, defeat will make you a prisoner, there is nothing to defend." The second prince paused and his beady gaze burst out at the queen who was not far away, "But before that, I still want to hear your answer, mother - what is it about me that is inferior to my brother that makes you despise me so much?"
The queen looked at him with pathos, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just turned her head away in embarrassment and did not say anything.
"Mother, answer my question!" The chains on the second prince's wrists clanged, his expression tinged with a bit of hysteria, gritting his teeth and saying, "Say it! What exactly do you have against me? This question has been bothering me for more than ten years, and at the last moment, I am not even qualified to know the answer?
Just as he finished yelling, a strange teenage voice with a smile suddenly came from a corner of the room: "She is not unhappy with you, but because of the difference in weight between you and your brother's father in her mind."
The crowd looked at the voice and realized that a black-robed teenager had appeared in the room at some point. The princess of Kadam was sticking close to him.
Blindfold is a trick of the devil. When he does not want to be seen by you, even if he stands right in front of you, you will see him as nothing.
The big prince's hand pressed the sword at his waist and said alertly, "What are you?"
Berial took Ye Miao's hand and stepped out from under the shadows.
With each step, the lamp on the candle leapt a little, becoming dimmer and dimmer. The hall, where many soldiers were standing a moment ago, was eaten up inch by inch by the darkness of the borders, and the idle people all quietly disappeared. In addition to him and Ye Miao, present, only the queen, the first prince, and the second prince was tied up.
Needless to say, this must be Berial's handiwork. When she was in the forbidden land, she had seen him easily create illusions and twist the long corridor into a prison cell.
But the first and second princes had obviously never seen this kind of ghostly scene before, and they were dumbfounded together in the same place.
The stars in the night sky swirled as Berial paced under the moon. Silver light diffused over his collarbone, spilling all the way until his perfect face was revealed.
The queen's eyes suddenly widened, red blood rooted out, extreme shock and trance pupil bottom intertwined. She muttered: "...... you ...... you actually resurrected ......"
Berial raised an eyebrow: "It seems that Your Majesty still remembers who I am."
The eldest prince reached out to support the queen and said in confusion, "Mother, who are you saying is resurrected? Do you know him?"
"It doesn't matter who he is. What is important is that I want to know what the words just said mean." The second prince clenched his fist: "What do you mean there is a difference in the weight of our father?"
"Literally. How can there be no difference in attitude when one child's father is his beloved, and the other is the product of a political union."
The queen was shaken. Even the eldest prince, who was not too concerned about why his mother was biased, heard this and his face changed.
It was well known that the Queen's first husband was an unnamed nobleman who died early. He was very mysterious, his age, name and appearance were never announced to the public. In this world, only those who were closest to him knew who he was.
But in fact, about the identity of his father, even the Grand Prince himself, is also unknown. When he was very young, he went to ask the queen and never got an answer. This is also one of the major reasons that made him rebel since childhood and centrifugal with the Queen.
Why, as a son also do not know the secret, this suddenly appeared strange teenager but know everything?
Ye Miao also listened to some confusion, do not understand Berial's intention to pull the topic to the Queen's two husbands. However, he is not someone who talks nonsense for no reason, and this definitely involves a secret she has been curious about for a long time.
The Grand Prince's breathing increased and he stared at him closely, "What exactly are you trying to say? Do you know who my father is?"
Berial raised his index finger, placed it on his lips, let out a light laugh, and glanced at the queen: "Your Majesty, I think it would be more appropriate for you to satisfy their curiosity personally instead of letting me sing a one-man show alone."
The crowd turned to the queen.
The queen's face was ashen, as if her life force had been instantly siphoned off. She collapsed softly in her chair, and after a long time, squeezed out an extremely bitter smile: "In fact, I have long had a premonition. What happened back then, sooner or later, there will be a day when it can't be hidden. I will be punished by God's wrath sooner or later for the ugly and evil things I have done. Today, I have to witness my offspring killing each other, that's retribution."
The Grand Prince twitched his eyebrows and did not speak.
"You've grown up, and it's time to tell you the secret I've been hiding for so many years." The queen gave him a feeble look and hung her head, dragged by memories into a long-ago whirlpool: "According to what is said to the public nowadays, I grew up in the King's manor outside of Flan Eaton until I was twelve. That was not the case. Back then, my mother's maid had been bought by a traitor and secretly replaced the healthy child with a dead one when my mother was in labor and everyone had their hands full. The real little princess, that is, me, was sent away overnight to a distant place to become a spinner's child. It was not until I was twelve years old that my father, who had inadvertently learned the truth and was enraged, sent someone to take me back to Flan Eden."
Ye Miao was secretly amazed.
It turned out that the queen had a period of exile. For the royal family who loved to save face, the harem struggle and the lost princess were not honorable things after all, no wonder they were not announced to the outside world.
But what does this have to do with the Queen's two husbands?
"I will never forget that it was autumn when I was picked up, and the hills were filled with golden ears of wheat. Out of the carriage came a handsome and dazzling blond boy." The queen's voice lightened: "This boy and I both fell in love at first sight with each other. On the way back, we fell in love."
The Great Prince said excitedly, "This man, is my father?"
Ye Miao also heard the meaning of this layer.
Strange, the fallen princess and the noble boy who greeted her fell in love, is not a very ordinary encounter? Why should the queen be tight-lipped about the identity of this husband, and refuse to reveal even her own son?
Unless - this noble boy, is not the identity that can be combined with her in an open and honest way.
Ye Miao's heart moved, suddenly had a ridiculous speculation, can not help but quietly glance at the side of Berial. He was calm.
"At that time, my mother consort has long passed away, and the traitor who instructed the maid to trap her has not yet been uncovered. To avoid complications, no one but my father knew that I was still alive. When the attendants picked me up, they only told me that I was the stray child of a nobleman from Fram Eaton. Naturally, this teenager did not know what I was beforehand, and was only acting on orders to take me back on the way." The queen pulled out a smile that was worse than crying: "After returning to Fram Eaton, I regained my identity as a princess. At the same time, also found out that I could never be with that boy. Because - he is my half-brother."
The Grand Prince's expression instantly turned ironic.
"To us, this truth was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. We endured the pain and separated immediately. But in those years after that, we still couldn't avoid coupling up and accidentally had a child ......," the queen raised her eyes and looked at the eldest prince: "I wanted to have this child very much. The paper can not cover the fire, at that time I was neither engaged to marry, nor have a close relationship with a man, in order not to let people find out that I am pregnant, I can only hide in the suburbs of the manor, lying and a nameless nobleman had a short marriage, which is justified - the birth of you."
Great Prince he, is actually the Queen and the late King's ......
Ye Miao has been shocked to the point of being completely speechless.
This relationship is also too confusing, right?
However, pushing back - the eldest prince extraordinarily playful like the queen's face, the queen's first marriage's nameless mysterious husband, her secrecy about the past, the late king, and the very different attitudes towards her two sons, at the moment when the truth emerges, their causal vein is also nothing to hide.
In the continent of Ripass more than a hundred years ago, many kingdoms have a tradition of inbreeding, such as cousins married to cousins, nieces married to uncles, as a means of maintaining the so-called purity of the royal lineage.
However, it turns out that this does not bring them a large number of excellent heirs, but rather the birth of an endless number of mentally incompetent, born defective babies.
