Amidst the sound of wind, oars, and gentle swaying, Theresia, the last bloodline of the White Iris Dynasty, with short and messy hair, slowly woke up in the soft silk quilt; it was like I had an extremely long dream; I was so sleepy that I didn’t even want to open my eyes.
After all, she had not slept on such a comfortable and comfortable bed for a long time. However, when Theresia moved slightly, she felt bruises that instantly affected her whole body, and unspeakable emotions broke out in the swelling and bruises. The soreness and pain she described made her moan uncontrollably.
At this time, she felt that there was nothing else on her body. This result made her feel a little frightened and panicked. Afterwards, she checked her body and found that there was no discomfort; even the trauma left before was gone. Cleaned and applied cool ointment.
Theresia was finally convinced that she had not fallen to death on the rocks of the rolling tide; instead, she had really survived. However, the next moment she got into the quilt again, covering her head and hugging her legs and curling up. , sobbing and choking silently under the gently fluttering quilt.
Once upon a time, she was born in one of the most prominent and noble palaces in the world; both her father and mother came from the blood of the ancient and noble kingdom. As symbols of the highest power, she was surrounded by luxuriously dressed ministers and nobles all day long, and her every move All have received much attention.
Therefore, since she can remember, she has been following her mother, participating in court balls and public events one after another; she is always surrounded by cautious court ladies, maids and servants every hour of the day; everyone is humble. He spoke beautiful words to her.
After she became a little more sensible, peers from ministers and noble families appeared in front of her one after another; they introduced their family and their names in childish voices with stammering or embarrassment; just for the sake of having fun. Opportunity to become one of the playmates who accompany the princess as she grows up.
Everything was so beautiful and logical; it was like she had it all as a matter of course after she came to this world. But I don’t know when the smile on her father’s face, who was still kind to her, became less and less forced. , but the sadness and wrinkles are increasing day by day.
As for my mother, who always dressed up gorgeously, her daily banquets and social activities gradually stopped, and she began to put on less "conspicuous" clothes. As a young girl, she was raped several times in her sleep by people from the city. Awakened by the loud noise, he found that the royal guards were setting up defenses.
Every time my father went out, he would come back with disappointment and anger. Then he would hide in the empty and huge study and stay there for a long time. My mother even began to pack her bags secretly and hide the royal jewels. Summon the courtiers secretly.
In the end, riots spread throughout the city; even when she was playing in the garden, she could see the fireworks rising in the city. According to the whispers of the frightened maids, it was the nobles and ministers who were loyal to the royal family, and the city. The rioters kept fighting.
The battle lasted for several days and nights. Although it was not known which side would win, it was not long before everyone was forced to move from Ganquan Palace, where the royal family lived, to Wangyou Palace in Youyuan. Then my father had to fight hard. Spirit, began to meet some ragged representatives of public opinion.
But after each interview, he would lock himself in his study and angrily smash everything around him; but he would pick himself up again the next day and continue to meet with representatives from all walks of life; while his mother became introverted and reclusive.
, secretly and constantly communicating with the outside world.
She would even personally take her female officers and maids to comfort the royal guards; she would also practice horseback riding in private and try on hunting clothes that were easy to ride. After this temporary peace of mind lasted for several months, she
I was woken up at night and got into a carriage in a daze.
When she woke up again, she was already in a huge motorcade far away from the capital. Then, her mother told her with a long-lost joyful expression that this time she might have a chance to see her grandfather, who had never been masked before. But
The large number of salutes carried by the convoy seriously affected the speed of travel.
Just two days later, the team was intercepted by a simple checkpoint set up on the road. Although there was only a small group of militiamen armed with wooden spears and pitchforks, they did not hesitate to call in more troops.
Companions with scanty clothing gathered all over the mountains and plains to watch the convoy.
Immediately afterwards, the Capital National Guard dispatched by the Charter Conference composed of nobles and property owners in the capital also chased after them; they invited the royal family and their entourage back to the Seine City. However, this time the royal family was unable to return to the Palace of Forgetfulness.
And was placed in the most cramped Hezhou Old Palace.
Most of the buildings here are in disrepair, and a considerable part of them are used as prisons for the royal family; and many of the people who follow and serve the royal family have been ruthlessly deprived and dismissed, leaving only the most basic retinues and guards.
, acting as the king’s last bit of dignity.
Accompanied by a maid who was crying privately, she was still ignorant and had to live in a tower full of musty smell and moisture. It was not until a long time later that she learned a little about the situation at that time. Rumors spread throughout the boiling city that the king had fled.
Want to use local troops to massacre the royal capital.
There are even rumors that the queen sold her rights to foreign countries in exchange for a large number of intervention troops, ready to eliminate all dissidents in the country at any time. Therefore, at the impromptu charter meeting, even the new aristocrats who insisted on preserving the royal family had to agree to further deprivation
and limit royal power.
The poor and civil strata of the entire city were also incited by others and wandered all night long on the other side of the ruined palace on the river island; they spontaneously monitored and threatened the king's family, which had already become estranged from their relatives; there was even a group of people who
A member of the royal branch, swore to join the civilian faction.
But it was these days of being trapped in the city that left Theresia with the last beautiful memories. Because the family members who usually have social activities and are busy and rarely have time to get together, now they are together.
Get a lot of quiet time together under house arrest;
Her mother even began to learn from the maids around her how to cut and sew dresses into the size she needed; while her father found a sealed crafting table and made some gadgets for her with his own hands; she even
I hope this period of isolation from the world will continue.
However, one day suddenly, the calmness in this dilemma was broken. As the guards rushed in in panic and covered in blood, they reported that someone had secretly opened the passage and door to the Hezhou Abandoned Palace for the mob on the other side;
The guards, who were left with only sabers and swords, could not resist.
Next, there was a desperate escape in the abandoned palace, as well as the buildings and fires that were constantly being set alight and the noise of people. It was a severely missing memory; I only remember that the attendants and servants were killed and quartered in the abandoned palace, and the female officials and
The maids were also torn to pieces and knocked down, disappearing into the crowd.
In the end, Theresia didn't know how she escaped. When she regained consciousness, she was already on a cruise ship on the Seine River. The direction of the ruined palace on the river bank had been completely engulfed in flames.
Behind them, riots continued to occur in the city.
The person who saved her was a certain uncle, the Marquis de Montier, the husband of the king's cousin; one of the royalist leaders wanted by the Charter Conference. However, he always kept secret about this process, and emphasized over and over again that Tracy
Ya’s mission and responsibility as the last bloodline of the royal family;
Then, she spent a full ten years in the castles and manors controlled by the royal party; here, as the spiritual symbol of the royal party, she received various educations, and even met the teacher of Seris descent.
With his strong entreaty, he secretly taught women self-defense techniques and skills.
However, with the establishment of the Burgundian dynasty in the north and the rise of heretics and rebels in the Free Army in the south, the Marquis of Montier actually died in battle with the Burgundian army. The underground royal court he established also collapsed.
Separation, and even internal strife broke out under the inducement of the Northern Dynasty.
Theresa, whose value had been greatly reduced, was passed into the hands of the church faction of the old royal party. The rest of her time was spent in constant tossing and dodging. Most of the time, she disguised herself as a nun and evaded.
During various investigations, I also saw all kinds of suffering and misery with my own eyes.
Until she was sent to Mount Saint-Michel after suffering a lot of displacement. Here, she was moved by the sacred and pious atmosphere, secretly determined to devote herself to the glory of God, and finally spent the rest of her life here as a nun.
Those around her suddenly decided to silence her.
At least, Theresia was not without gains during her exile. In addition to the fighting skills she had secretly honed under extreme insecurity, she also learned several languages in private;
This also includes the old Latin used by the Guardians.
This was to erase and distinguish the last influence from the Frankish Kingdom; Saint Laurent ordered the priests to accompany the army to reorganize and unify the standardized language. Therefore, in the crisis of life and death, she did not hesitate to sneak attack on the opponent, and then followed the
Escape through the abandoned underground passage.
At least, as a member of the White Iris royal family, even if she ends her own life in desperation, she should not continue to be humiliated in the hands of these people before her death. And her experiences over the years have also made her understand to some extent that as the only surviving member of the former royal family,
The greatest value possessed by female members.
It is to give birth to a number of male descendants with the right to claim the throne for those ambitious ministers or nobles; and then "die" in the historical records. If it is just to continue the bloodline, she is not particularly resistant to this fate, but she must
It's her own choice.
Therefore, driven by this idea, she even climbed out of the dangerous cliff to escape the pursuit of the guardians. Until a sudden loud cry frightened the seabirds and knocked her down from her hiding place.
...But how did she survive? Her memory was lost again.
At this time, the boat she was on suddenly stopped; then several female soldiers in blue military uniforms poured into the cabin and spread around to be on guard. Then a small group of maids in white long skirts also rushed in slowly.
He came forward and began to dress Theresia without any explanation.
And looking at the huge Sirius standing mirror on one side, from the scarred body to the well-combed lace and pink satin dress; and after the dyeing was washed away, it turned into a silver-white bun again.
Theresa had some old memories coming back to her like a dream.
And this hidden doubt and suppressed emotion finally broke out the moment she was surrounded on the deck. "Teresa..." On the shore where the big ship was docked, stood a man wearing a gray
The woman in the cloak made a familiar voice that haunted her.
Damn, after the kitten, I was also infected, most likely it was influenza A
