Alessia looked at Scarlett. In those familiar eyes, full of pride, indifference and contempt, what she saw was an extremely complicated look.
It's hard for Alessia to describe what such a look is, but she can be sure that it is definitely not the look of someone who killed Fred, captured her, and made her feel humiliated. Nor is it just seeing someone.
The look in the eyes of a benefactor who saved his life.
If I had to describe it, it would be a look that is somewhat fearful, somewhat wanting to get closer, and also has a strong possessive look.
Just like in her memory, during a royal hunting trip when she was a child, she saw a little devil lion captured alive.
The cuteness of the little magic lion conquered Scarlett. However, her reckless approach made her pay the price of injury. However, Scarlett did not give up. For a long time after that, she struggled with this
It's just a little devil struggling. She doesn't even allow others to step in and help.
It wasn't until a year later that Scarlett conquered this little devil lion, which had grown to be particularly majestic.
But just a month later, she watched it die in the Colosseum.
Scarlett is very possessive.
Alicia has known this since she was a child. As children, no matter what the two sisters fell in love with at the same time, Scarlett would eventually get it.
At the same time, Scarlett also has a strong desire to conquer.
She has never liked her status as a princess. She would rather be a boy, conquering the whole world with strength and making all proud beings surrender to her knees. Growing up, the only person she admired was her cousin.
Augustus was alone. She ignored everyone else.
No matter how powerful the existence is, to her, it is like that little demon lion. What she enjoys is the process of conquest, but once she obtains it, she will soon get tired of it.
You may even be disgusted by the other person's surrender.
But... Alicia thought, the guy in front of Scarlett was not the demon lion.
Her heart began to beat faster and faster. An inexplicable emotion that began to grow as soon as she heard the name Leo Ferdinand spread like wildfire.
There are surprises, expectations, but also confusion and doubts...
Not long ago, Alessia learned from the personal confirmation of her father, Edward I, that Roy was still alive. Now, his alias was Leo Ferdinand. He was the one who made trouble in Munich and killed
Barno Jr. and Fred, the guys who captured Scarlett.
Therefore, when they heard the name just now, she and Susan couldn't believe their ears.
You know, when they came to the south this time, in addition to dealing with the demon invasion, they also had another purpose, which was to meet this Leo and confirm that he was really Roy. However, due to time constraints, this idea was only
Hidden in my heart, it’s just too late to realize it.
What they didn't expect was that Leo actually fell into the abyss and was the hero who saved the empire.
It's just that... the face in front of her was completely different from the Roy in her memory. So much so that she couldn't connect the two people at all, and she didn't know whether her father's words were a white comfort lie or the truth.
But what Alicia can be sure of is that regardless of whether this young man is Roy or not, Scarlett is playing with fire.
This young man is ten thousand times more dangerous than that demon lion. If Scarlett still has that mentality, then she will pay a price that she cannot imagine.
After thanking him, Scarlett hugged Roy like everyone else.
"I want to say sorry for what happened before." Scarlett whispered, "Although it is a bit unpleasant, I know that you were just forced to fight back. Besides, no matter what you did, at least you saved the life this time.
If you kill me, can I say that we are even?"
Roy was a little surprised. Scarlett's meekness made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He had a half-smile on his face, nodded and said, "Okay."
Scarlett's lowered eyes flashed with a cunning light of surprise. When she raised her head, her eyes became extremely soft. There was even some admiration and awe.
She bit her lip and said, "So, can we be friends?"
friend?
Roy looked at Scarlett with a playful smile on his lips.
He has not forgotten that this noble and proud princess is still his slave girl in name.
Although it was a bit naughty, Roy had to admit that every time he thought about this, he felt very happy. He even imagined Scarlett wearing a thin white cotton skirt, leading the way with a candlestick, and holding breakfast in the sunshine.
Early in the morning, he walked into the room with a low eyebrow.
Based on my understanding of this woman, becoming friends with her may be the worst choice in the world. Besides, given their personalities, even friends will fall out soon, right?
Thinking silently in his mind, the expression on Roy's face did not change at all.
"Of course." Roy said, "Many friends are better than many enemies."
"Then," Scarlett smiled like a flower, "it's a deal."
"It's a deal." Roy also smiled brightly.
After talking to Scarlett, Roy turned around and looked.
At this time, the entire valley was silent. Countless people's eyes were focused on him. Everything that happened in the abyss was spreading in all directions with the lords and nobles as the center. More and more soldiers knew,
This black-haired young man was the hero who saved this battle and everyone.
I don’t know when the applause started again.
First there were a few scattered people, and then it spread quickly. Finally, the applause swept across the entire valley, tens of thousands of soldiers, and merged into a raging sea wave that resounded throughout the world.
The cheers were deafening.
If before, everyone thought that this victory came out of nowhere, and even the cheers were a bit lacking in confidence, then now, the suppressed emotions have finally been released most completely.
The cheers this time were far more enthusiastic than the moment Landero walked out of the blood sacrifice passage.
At this moment, everyone is not only happy, but also proud!
Yes, they won.
Won a great victory destined to be engraved in history.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of mercenaries fought two wars at the same time, inside and outside the abyss, invisible to each other. In the end, they defeated the devil under the leadership of Adolf and this black-haired young man. This glory belongs to mankind,
It belongs to the Saint Solan Empire and even more to Lullian.
They won this war without the help of other empires. They saved the entire continent with their lives and blood. This was a miracle, and the existence of the black-haired young man allowed them to proudly tell everyone that this
Miracles are created by them together.
The demons did not retreat out of nowhere. They were defeated!
A Lurian soldier fell to his knees and cried bitterly.
His younger brother, a soldier like him, died in this war. At this moment, he was kneeling in the bloodstains that shared the same blood with him, with tears streaming down his face.
In his hand, he held his brother's helmet.
He leaned down and kissed the land dyed red. He was sad and proud.
"We won." He murmured.
He believed that his younger brother, who was still floating over this land, would be able to hear it.
Beside him, Niels patted his shoulder gently, and at the same time hugged every companion who came up, covered in injuries and smelling of sweat and blood.
Nils knows that he is lucky.
Everyone alive here is lucky.
They were lucky enough to participate in this war, and lucky enough to survive in the end. Soon after, they will see their parents, their wives and children, at the dinner table with flickering candlelight, in the quiet and warm bedroom bed, in
In a busy tavern one afternoon, I told everyone I knew about today.
"Thanks!"
Niels' eyes did not leave the face of the black-haired young man. He was in a good position and wanted to engrave this face deeply in the deepest part of his memory and never erase it.
This mercenary named Leo not only saved himself, but also saved his family.
