"Now, please give your blessings to the newlyweds."
The light of morning rays slanted into this hall from the windows. It was filled with the nobles of the green empire. The candlelight was swaying and it was resplendent. Under the auspices of the ceremonial officer wearing a tall hat, everyone stood up slowly and blessed in unison, and then
Waiting for the arrival of the two emperors.
The hall became very quiet for a while, and many eyes looked at the door, waiting for it to open.
Today is my wedding, and it is also an important ceremony in the empire. In the tradition of the Green Empire, a man and a woman will be regarded as a real adult only after they get married, and will begin to have contact with power and enjoy respect, but it also means no longer
There are all kinds of preferential treatment for teenagers and girls.
'Frocia, you must mature as soon as possible.'
Before I got married, my mother reminded me like this while sitting in the bedroom.
She slowly combed my hair with her hands, spread it out in the sun, looked at it carefully, and stroked it slowly, as if she wanted to remember this color firmly.
When I was very young, I was closely watched by adults. Although the Landsworth family is extremely prominent and it is normal for the direct bloodline in the family to receive attention, my name seems to appear more often than that of my brothers and sisters.
in their mouths.
In the eyes of adults, this is a good thing, because children who receive attention can always get more love. However, children do not think the same as adults, especially in the Landsworth family, which is known for its many etiquette.
Because our ancestors were poets and preferred literature, painting, and other beautiful things, they required more etiquette for their children. This tradition has continued and spread throughout the East. After all, the Landsworth family is one of the nobles of the East.
If you are a leader, everyone will imitate you unconsciously.
Strict etiquette can suppress children's nature, so my brothers and sisters resisted a lot. Of course, they also received a lot of beatings and criticisms. But when it was my turn, it was different.
"Although you are my child, I still feel a sense of surprise and surprise, as if I have received the diamond of the sun." My mother hugged me and recounted in detail.
I didn't deliberately remember any manners or etiquette. I was born to adapt to this kind of life, just like a swallow flying across the water, light and natural.
'The Sun Diamond of the Landsworths', that's what the nobles in the East began to call me from that time on. My appearance far beyond that of a girl of my age attracts attention wherever I go. This is a good thing, and it's also impressive.
What worries people, after all, no one likes to live a life without privacy and be watched all the time.
'Since you are the sun, you are destined to be unable to avoid the eyes of others.'
Once, when I was telling my father about my troubles in his study, he said these philosophical words, and it took me a long time to adapt to the eyes of the people around me, and strive to excel in literature, poetry, and extraordinary skills.
Music, clothing, behavior, voice, etc. are perfected and gradually no longer reveal any shortcomings.
But such efforts in turn intensified the effect of this halo, so that my father later told me that many nobles in the imperial capital had heard of my reputation, and the emperor would send envoys to visit me soon.
What this means is easy to understand for the great nobles in the empire.
After my pleading, my father finally agreed to me, refused the emperor's proposal of marriage, and then sent me to school in Emenas, which is the permanent neutral place where the Sages are located. Even the authority of the emperor has no influence on me.
There will also be suppression.
The knights in my family escorted me through most of the empire to this famous academy deep in the Sighing Mountains.
Life in the college is like the warm manor in my hometown. There are no longer various elders coming to visit me, and few peers disturb my life. Everyone seems to be attracted by another classmate in the class.
For the first time, I was no longer the center of everyone's attention. This feeling was really wonderful. It allowed me to sit in the audience and look carefully at the silver-haired girl surrounded by everyone.
Her name is Luo Xier, and she comes from the country in the west, a country that was once as famous as green, but it seems to have changed its owner recently.
This girl has a different beauty than me. She looks more fragile and lovable. Her light blue eyes are very clear. Although she doesn't talk much and has a quiet personality, she has an amazing charm that makes Ban
My classmates were obsessed with her, and even I had to admit that this girl did have otherworldly charm.
Of course, she became the monitor of the class. This was something everyone had discussed privately. I also secretly voted in favor, along with several of my classmates from the Imperial nobility who were paying attention to me.
When Luo Xier became the class president, she had to take on responsibilities. She would whisper to everyone about the recent study arrangements and various activities in the class.
The freshmen are all geniuses and number one in various places. It is hard to say that they are not arrogant. In other classes, being the class president is a hard job. Unless you can crush all the classmates in terms of status and extraordinary strength, you can gain a little respect.
But Luo Xier didn't seem to have such conditions. According to her own description, she was born as a civilian, and because of her poor health, she occasionally asked for leave, and her fighting ability was average.
Even though the objective conditions are indeed not good, everyone can't help but like her. They even think that listening to her soft and delicate voice is a kind of happiness, so they all cooperate with the monitor's arrangements.
Unconsciously, our class has become the most harmonious group in the grade, and everyone is always happy.
I didn't know this at first, thinking that Emenas was just so beautiful. It wasn't until I chatted with a few brothers during the holidays, and they talked about various things they encountered in school, that I was surprised by this current situation.
I am very grateful to Luo Xier, because of her existence, I can live a quiet and leisurely life for the first time.
You can sit quietly under the window sill of the classroom, slowly read your favorite books, and occasionally chat with your classmates. Then, under the leadership of the monitor, everyone plans to have dinner there tonight and walk and play games together.
I like this kind of life very much, just like a fish swimming in the water, free and comfortable, with both excitement and tranquility, and I can choose freely.
Slowly, I began to get in touch with Luo Xier, and I became familiar with it easily. It was not as difficult as I had expected.
This is not an empire, and not every girl of the same age is like the eldest lady in the aristocratic circle. She thinks a lot, is cautious, and is very guarded. I warned myself, and then tried to get along with her in the same candid manner.
As I talked more with Luo Xier, I became more and more curious about her. This girl was not as innocent as a blank sheet of paper as I imagined. On the contrary, she seemed to be clear and comfortable after understanding many things in the world.
Face all kinds of things with peace of mind, without being anxious or panicking. Under the warm and serious gaze of those light blue eyes, many things are done slowly and unconsciously.
Because of her existence, I doubted the teachings at home for the first time. Can one's family background really determine everything?
It is always a joy to be friends with Luo Xier. Watching her whisper to the horse when she is learning to ride a horse, touching the head and neck of the black horse, and panicking when being licked by the horse's tongue. Riding on the horse, Luo Xier
Xi'er didn't know how to speed up at first, and she was reluctant to hit the horse underneath her. I stepped forward with a smile and told her that in fact, as long as I pinched the horse's belly and gave a signal, most of the trained horses would know to speed up.
During the lunch break, everyone gathered in the quiet temple hall, some played the strings lightly, and some kept time aside. Then, driven by everyone, Luo Xier would stand up a little shyly, close her eyes, and whisper softly.
singing.
In the Temple Academy, hymns are a required course, and Rochiel was very good at it, so much so that the teachers asked her to be the cantor and said it was the best they had ever heard.
I don’t know much about the criteria by which hymns are judged. I just know that when Luo Xier sings, even the birds outside the window will become quiet. I am afraid that only the singers in fairy tales can compare with her.
With the existence of this girl like a silver moon, I finally experienced the lifestyle of ordinary people, as well as everyone's thoughts and hobbies in college life. This corrected many misconceptions I had developed over the years and recognized normal standards.
How it should be.
It would be great if this kind of life could always exist.
Although my father repeatedly refused, the emperor's will became stronger and stronger. Even far away in Emenas, I slowly became aware of the undercurrents in the upper echelons of the empire.
No longer embarrassing my father and family, I took the initiative to return home, met with the envoys sent by the emperor, and then, escorted by the knights, set off for the imperial capital.
Titania is extremely prosperous. Even in the rich Eastern Region, no city can be so majestic, lively and colorful.
After meeting a few familiar childhood friends, they told me the current situation of the imperial capital, and then they were admitted to the palace by the red envoys from the Rose Palace.
After walking through beautiful and elegant palaces one after another, turning around exquisitely carved corridors, we finally arrived at this courtyard.
My father and the emperor were sitting in the white round pavilion in the courtyard talking, while I sat under the flower trellis and watched from a distance, waiting for their conversation to end.
The afternoon sunshine passed through the flower vines and became thin and mottled. The breeze was accompanied by the chirping of cicadas. I slowly swung on the swing and looked at the green and white flower vines on my side, while my thoughts drifted to a far away place.
Marriage was almost certain, and the beautiful campus life was over. In fact, after Luo Xier gradually stopped coming to school, the school gradually became boring.
Will she get married in the future, and what kind of person will she marry? I started to think about this question, but there was no result.
Just when I was in a daze, the maid on the side walked over to remind me. Then I stood up, gently blocked the sunlight above my head with my hand, and looked at the blond prince who was approaching.
Crown Prince, Ansel, the fiancé chosen by the emperor and my father for me.
After meeting Ans El for the first time that day, life seemed to have changed. The crown prince began to visit frequently, and various discussions began to occur in the imperial capital. They seemed to know before me that I
I will definitely marry this crown prince.
Ans Ayr, the crown prince that people praise, seems a bit dull. I can feel his nervousness when he is talking to me. As the heir of the empire, shouldn't he be a veteran in the social field? He is so clumsy. When I
When he asked his brother this question, he answered with a look of laughter but helplessness.
"That's not so, Frocia."
"Although I really don't want to admit it, Ans Aier is indeed a very good person. I can't compare with him in some aspects. The reason why he behaves like this in front of you is that you have forgotten your own charm."
"Let me tell you what outsiders say about you, my sister."
"The Sun Diamond of the Landsworth family, the pearl in Titania's crown, the golden hair like the sun, the eyes as clear and moving as the lake, the beautiful and alluring girl, the future White Rose Queen of the Empire,
Your Highness Frocia."
"Okay, okay, don't say any more. The long-lost feeling came to my heart again, so gorgeous, but so suffocating, with no blind spots to hide." I shook my head.
After knowing the reason, I no longer looked down upon the crown prince, but slowly started talking to him. Gradually, I was also moved by this prince. Maybe he was not the perfect marriage partner in my mind, but at least he was not a bad one.
choose.
If he becomes the emperor, can I guide him to slowly change this country and make it a little better, so that in the future he can feel at ease to invite Rocher to the palace as a guest.
If I become the queen of a cruel king, I'm afraid I won't have the face to be friends with Luo Xier anymore.
I yearn for the beautiful world she talked about. Although it is far away, I also want to be closer, so that she will not blame me for marrying so obediently.
Touching the small glass bottle hanging on my chest, I felt a little guilty for leaving school early and not being able to spend more time with her. I didn't know if her health was really getting better. The fainting at the winter festival party was really scary.
It's my turn.
My thoughts slowly flowed, and in a blink of an eye, the official wedding day came.
When I walked into the hall, I had a sudden feeling, which seemed a bit unreal. I just followed the process step by step with the help of the priests and ceremonial officers.
Finally, the closed door opened, but what came in was not the father and emperor I expected, but another prince.
The battle began, and although Ansel did not flinch and faced this rebellious scene bravely, the outcome remained unchanged.
Looking at the blood slowly flowing on the ground, and the face that fell into rest, I understood that the fantasy scenes in the past hesitations had been completely shattered, and the empire was destined to follow the path of iron and blood.
The glass bottle shattered, and the water droplets in it reflected the colors of the rainbow in the air, and fell into my forehead. A cool and clear feeling emerged in my heart.
The flow of the wind, the vibration of the air, and everything around me began to appear. An inexplicable intuition guided me to retreat, avoid the eyes of everyone in the hall, and gradually disappear into the candlelight-lit hall during the chaos.
Running fast in enamel high heels with white background and gold flowers, I was surprised that I could be so stable. I didn't fall once, and every time I just missed the eyes of others and the guards, and avoided the search with a kind of wonderful luck.
Left the Rose Palace.
During the war in Titania, I hid in an uninhabited house. The owner of the house must have gone to the south for vacation recently, and the things inside were very complete.
After spending the most dangerous time in this way, I looked at the glorious crown rising in the sky, and a familiar feeling vaguely emerged again. There seemed to be an angel emerging in the sky, and even though I couldn't see clearly the appearance of that angel,
Luo Xier's face always appeared unconsciously.
Thanks to the gentle silver moon that accidentally appeared in my life, I was able to spend a quiet time and sort out everything about myself.
It was several months before we returned to the Landsworth house. No one else was informed at that time, only my father knew.
"It'll be nice if you come back." He touched my hair, feeling happy that it had been lost.
"It's all my fault for forcing you, Frocia. You are always so smart and understand the family's difficulties. But since fate is lucky enough to free you this time, you can freely choose your future life."
"I want to go back to the Landsworth family, continue to be the eldest lady that everyone admires, and then get married and enjoy the glory and honor."
"It's better not to appear in the eyes of the world anymore, live an anonymous life, and gain the freedom and freedom of life."
My father recited the words in the poem and asked me in a low voice what I thought. Not surprisingly, I chose the latter.
"As expected, he is a child of the Landsworth family." The father smiled after hearing this, and then continued.
"Several generations of our Landsworth family ancestors have been like this. They yearn for a free and stress-free life, but as heirs, they cannot give up everything."
"Then, be brave and do what you want. Don't worry about all the responsibilities anymore. Your mission has been completed. You don't owe the family anything, and we will no longer interfere with your choices."
Away from the eyes of the world, I lived in seclusion in the corner of the emerald forest and spent the truly fulfilling time of my life.
Here I learned things that I wanted to do before but didn’t have time for, things that I originally liked but got tired of being asked to do, things that I was interested in but didn’t want to be judged by, etc.
In life, whether it is planting flowers, breeding, traveling, walking, painting, writing poetry, etc., I have tried all the things that Luo Xier once mentioned.
I have to say, she really illuminates the trajectory of my life.
Years passed like this, until a letter was delivered to my hands.
The empire once again reached the crossroads of choosing its future.
So, what I didn't finish last time, I will do it with my own hands this time.
——I would like to write this poem in memory of my past friend, Luo Xier.
With a pure white unicorn flag on a blue background, I put on the armor that obscured my face, gripped the lance in my hand, and began to move forward, composing the poem in my heart.
