The Amber Sword - 1361. Chapter 1361
The night before winter always fell very early, Brando and others traveled south of Martaha for three or four hours, and the sky went dark.
The winter night in Tauchik is extremely humid and cold. Although the Inner Sea area of the Dead Moon will not freeze at night in this month, the ground will become cold and hard; the swamp is filled with heavy fog, there is almost no wind, and the sound of insects is also very loud. Little, almost weirdly quiet, occasionally there will be a sound of water in the dark.
The bonfire was peeling and burning, and occasionally one or two sparks jumped out. The bright yellow light penetrated the fog very strongly, and it could illuminate far away, but it would also cause unnecessary trouble. In addition to the wild beasts and the ghouls in the swamp, there are also mosquitoes in groups-even at this time, there are still a large number of mosquitoes in the Tauchik area-mosquitoes come by the light, even if they are already prepared to drive them away. Insect medicine, but not very useful.
Brando drives away mosquitoes with his hands, using the power of law from time to time. Delphine air-dried fish and mushrooms by the campfire. These ingredients were all locally sourced. The craftsmanship of the prime minister’s daughter was beyond imagination. After more or less of a taste, everyone present expressed their praises. As the emperor, Huang Huo only took a symbolic bite. Her diet has strict standards, and she maintains the same self-discipline when she goes out.
However, she suggested to prepare more in case of emergencies. After all, thinking of the weird recipe of the Goathead Cultist at the time of Martaha, everyone agreed with it.
The Red Moon Moya has risen from the west horizon, Fang Qi still hasn’t appeared, it seems that he will not show up until the appointed time.
Delphine took a smoked fish from the grill, and then handed it to Brando, squeezing his jaw in a direction in the darkness. Brando understood what she meant, but he was a little surprised and glanced at her.
“Why, who do you think I, a vicious woman full of calculations, are calculating again?” The prime minister’s daughter smiled slightly and asked in a joking tone.
“Is that little girl worth your calculations?” Brando was not polite at all to the prime minister’s daughter. Although the two had had skin-to-skin relations, what happened on the boat that day kept Brando’s heart in mind. There is a barrier.
To be precise, there is no love between him and Delphine, only desire, and since then, due to his deliberately keeping a distance, even this connection between the two has weakened a lot. Brando doesn’t know how Delphine thinks about this. Maybe she doesn’t care at all, but he cares very much. When facing the prime minister’s daughter, he always feels distorted.
His bluntness is also to cover up embarrassment.
Delphine smiled slightly, as if he didn’t care, and handed over the wooden sign in her hand: “From town to here, she hasn’t eaten anything yet.”
“Delphine,” Brando said suddenly: “Now the condition of the Cruz empire is unknown. We don’t even know if your father and grandfather are still alive. Let me tell you the truth. In fact, I can’t see the war with the Twilight Dragon. What the future is like, all I can do is to protect Eruin and the people around me as much as possible, and to fulfill the promise to Queen Madara. You should have seen it already. I can’t give you too much. I promise that I will not be able to become the King of Vaughan and rebuild the empire.”
There was a bonfire between the two. Mr. Liu was on guard outside the camp. Huang Huo had already entered his tent to rest. Magdal needed to practice the magic of meditation and communication. For a while, there were only two people talking in the camp.
“Then, what do you want to say?”
“I want to say, in fact, you don’t have to be like this,” Brando sighed: “You know what I am. If you want something, you can speak as straight as possible. Even though you have caused me a lot of trouble, Your efforts in the past two months and Metisa are also in our eyes. Let the grievances between us become the past. If you are willing to give up the past, I can help you like a friend. I mean, I will do my best within my abilities.”
“My lord means, I don’t have to tie myself to you, and smile at you every day. I should pursue the path I want, right?”
“I didn’t mean that, Delphine.”
“No, my lord, you mean that, I know, you are pitying me,” Delphine replied with a smile: “Is your lord thinking that playing cat and mouse with me like this is too tired and I don’t want to continue anymore? Have you gone on playing?”
“Well, I admit that you are right, but Delphine, the grudge between us originated from a misunderstanding-I said, I will not apologize to you for the death of your fiancé, because it was not about me. Matter. But I can apologize to you for the damage caused to your body and mind after that. Maybe when the firs led us to take a step back, the situation will not become the way it is now.”
“Then Miss Romance? You do not resent me for what I did to Miss Romance?” Delphine asked softly.
“You don’t have to irritate me, because I once wished to kill you about Roman, and I wished to give you an equally unforgettable lesson, but after that, too many things I could not think of happened,” Brando shook his head: ” To be honest, I don’t know what to do to face you. On the one hand, you are my enemy, Miss Delphine, but on the other hand, I also hurt you.”
“My lord really thinks he hurt me?”
Brando nodded without shy.
“You are really an honest but innocent person,” Delphine replied, “but you still don’t understand, what kind of path do you want me to pursue? Leaving you, going back to the conspiracy and intrigue of the past, Is that the life you think I should live?”
She shook her head: “Why do you think I am making a strong face and laughing? Actually, these days are the easiest and truest life for me. When we return to the empire, I don’t know what choice I will make, but at least Here, I feel real and happy.”
Brando was stunned.
The prime minister’s daughter suddenly sighed quietly. She put the smoked fish back on the grill, then stood up, picked up her backpack by the campfire, took out a blanket from it, walked over, and handed it to Bran. Many hands.
Brando was taken aback when he saw the blanket. He remembered that he had used this blanket to cover the prime minister’s daughter when he was north of Rosalind. At that time, he thought she was asleep, but he did not expect the prime minister. The daughter is just pretending to sleep.
He looked at the blanket in his hand. Delphine kept the blanket very well, even in the swamp environment, the blanket was very dry and tidy, and it was folded very neatly, each side was finely aligned.
“Sorry, my unrealistic dream should indeed wake up. In that long dream in the elemental realm, the terrible things I saw made me weak.” Delphine replied quietly: “These days, I have abandoned myself, so that ridiculous things happened. I am sorry for my fiancé and my lord. I thought the error would pass away with time, but I was wrong. I am still me. I cannot escape. Change reality…”
“Miss Delphine.”
Delphine shook his head: “My lord does not have to persuade me. You are right. When I return to Eruin, I will find my own way. You and Miss Medissa are both upright people, but this is not the case. It doesn’t belong to me. I shouldn’t impose my thoughts on others. Although I use all kinds of despicable means to force you to agree, it’s a pity that if it’s not your heart, it doesn’t make any sense…I, Del Finn, Niedervan’s daughter, doesn’t need to rely on other people’s charity to succeed.”
Delphine put down his luggage, then picked up the smoked fish from the grill again, and replied: “My lord, thank you for not holding me to fault. I will do my best to help you get the Nature Orb. This is my last Once by your side to help you, because this is the apology in my heart, I must make up for my mistakes—”
“But I know this is far from enough. If the adults still want my life, I will never mind,” she replied, pointing to her white neck. “My head is here, ready for the adults at any time. ”
“Miss Delphine, you know what I meant.”
The prime minister’s daughter smiled bitterly: “Could it be that my lord has trampled on my last dignity as the eldest daughter of the Niederven family?”
Brando had to shut up. He looked at the noble daughter, with some emotion in his heart. Perhaps even if the other party showed his true feelings, he still couldn’t believe it completely, because it might be another time of wanting to get caught.
However, even if he knew in his heart that this might be the disguise of the other party, when Delphine said those words, he still felt a little stunned.
However, Delphine did not explain anymore, and handed the grilled fish in his hand to his hand, saying: “No matter how self-willed and scheming woman, she will have compassion. She has not dripped in from noon until now, and her pockets are bulging. It’s all stones.”
“Stone?”
Brando was taken aback.
“That’s a spine little girl, you won’t understand her, but I understand, because I have seen myself in her,” Delphine replied softly, “But I am much happier than her, I At least there are relatives.”
“There is one thing you are wrong, Miss Delphine,” Brando replied in a low voice, “She also has relatives. I think she has at least one sister or younger sister, and their mothers should be alive too—perhaps. .”
“Do you know her?” Delphine suddenly showed a clear look: “It has something to do with Miss Medissa?”
Brando nodded, he had already seen the head of the prime minister’s daughter, so he was not surprised by her reaction. However, he did not continue to explain, because he could not be completely sure of the guess of the other party’s identity.
