Scene 84 Past Balls V
"Nimesis wuwu..." Brando covered His Highness the Prince's mouth calmly, and turned back to look at the woman under the carriage: the long ebony hair set off the snow-dazzling skin, dotted with rubies. She had the same angular lips, a smile at the corners of her mouth, her pupils were as black as ink, black and white distinct, and the wizard's leather armor that wrapped her perfect figure was as red as fire.
That very unique warm smile was so familiar in Brando's eyes, as if it had surfaced from some dusty memory, making ripples, and that kind face reappeared in front of him.
Brando was almost in tears.
"What's your ID? Is this your first time playing a game?"
"Join my team, Sophie."
"It's so cute. He uses his real name in the game."
"My name is Bai Jia, and I am your senior. Haha, I didn't expect there to be such a cute little boy in our college."
Brando's heart was like a huge whirlpool, with turbulent waves rising, but he took a gentle breath to calm down his turbulent mood. "I am Viscount Cardel, who are you?" He could almost feel his hands shaking slightly. He knew clearly that the memories in front of him were past memories that had long since turned into smoke, but he still couldn't help but want to ask about the other person's current situation.
Even if it's just a word. The seniors in that world can no longer meet each other.
"Hello, Mr. Viscount, we are the mercenary group 'Crimson Travelers'. You should have heard of our name. Today we are responsible for the security work outside Menjinteng Palace. You can call me Bai Jia." Bai Jia. Smiling slightly, he introduced himself.
But the past time has long passed, and everything he sees now has happened long ago. The senior at that time still remained optimistic. The crimson traveler originally symbolized the person who is always moving towards the sunset. We had agreed to go through the Black Forest. Discover what's on the other side of the world.
But the fate of everyone is ultimately closely linked to the sorrow of this kingdom.
That night, the warm lights of Menstros's houses were the same as today. At that time, he and Senior Bai Jia were still standing in front of this door. But here we are. Only the senior sister was left in his memory. From then on, all that was left of Menstros in his memory was a palace burning in a sea of fire, and the team that was once his home also fell apart.
Brando nodded to Bai Jia: "I know you. You are travelers."
Although adventurers also exist among the aborigines, NPCs often refer to players as travelers. This title is very insightful, because after all, the players are just passers-by of Warnd. Although they participate, everything that happens in this world ultimately has nothing to do with them.
"Ah, this NPC is a bit interesting, Sister Bai Jia." A voice interrupted. A girl with wheat-colored skin, short hair, wearing dragon scale armor and carrying a big sword ran over from nowhere, looked at Brando curiously and said.
Players have no inhibitions. But at some point, he was also called an NPC, and Brando couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Ah - I'm sorry. I know. It's so rude of me to say that, Senior Baijia. I apologize to him first. Mr. Viscount, I'm really sorry." The girl replied carelessly: "But maybe I will say this again next time. .I can’t always remember, I’m sorry.”
"You're welcome, I know your character, Miss Black Tea." Brando smiled slightly - he felt very interesting talking to the companion in his memory.
Hongcha was stunned and widened her beautiful eyes: "Wow, so I am so famous?" She turned around and grabbed Bai Jia beside her, and said with some surprise: "Senior sister, have you seen that I am also famous? You’re a celebrity now! After two months of building up your reputation, it’s really not in vain!”
Brando shook his head. Hongcha is the second in command of the brigade, but he is a real action person. Of course, this is a euphemism. To put it bluntly, he does things without thinking.
Bai Jia smiled slightly: "Okay.
Her Royal Highness the Princess has been waiting for a long time, Mr. Viscount. "
"your Highness?"
"And Miss Bedis, Her Royal Highness the Princess has prepared a special private banquet for you. I will ask Hongcha to take you there directly." Bai Jia replied.
Brando knew that Princess Griffin would not know Viscount Cardel and Bedis, because Viscount Cardel should have been dead long ago, and the assassination of Princess Griffin would not occur until the end of the first era. At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess would naturally not have anything to do with this Mr. Viscount. The only possibility is that Kader's dream overlapped with his again. There are always coincidences in history, which means that Mr. Viscount may have experienced almost the same scene.
Perhaps he was once a confidant of a princess in Eruin's previous dynasty, or a confidant of a princess in a principality in the surrounding area. He was assassinated for delivering some information related to the safety of the princess. , perhaps his regret comes from the failure of the mission.
Brando spread his imagination: But what does this have to do with his fiancée? Why did he choose Haruze as the completer of this dream? There are better candidates in the team.
With anticipation for the next private banquet, Brando walked through the Jinten Palace in Menstros under the leadership of Black Tea. Princess Griffin's residence is near a garden deep in the Jinten Palace. After Leque returned to Corcovado, she has been living here alone.
Jinteng Palace has long been deserted after the civil war. There are not many people in Nuoda's palace, only a few female officials occasionally pass by in a hurry. Black Tea was chattering along the way, and Brando chatted with her every now and then, without seeming deserted. He had a good relationship with Hongcha in his previous life, and he deliberately spoke according to the other person's temperament, which made the latter sigh that there were NPC characters who understood the player so well.
The private banquet was held in the garden, and the three of them soon arrived in the garden. Hongcha was naturally not qualified to participate in this level of NPC secret meeting, so she said goodbye and left. Brando saw that she had received the task and gained experience, and couldn't help but sigh that he had been one of them once upon a time.
But this dream seemed so real, and all the details came from his heart.
Brando then took the little prince towards the garden. He walked around a fence of dwarf roses and saw a figure in the pavilion not far away.
When Brando saw that figure, his heart couldn't help but move slightly.
This is the 22nd year of Her Royal Highness's reign. The eldest princess of this year has long lost her youthfulness as a girl, and has gained the nobility and elegance of a superior. Princess Griffin stood there like an ice-carved rose. Her slightly raised pointed chin symbolized some kind of royal pride. Her originally bright eyes became slender, and the determination inside turned into mystery and mystery. Wisdom, what remains unchanged is her long silver curly hair, which is still spread over her favorite silver dress.
She was much taller than the little princess Brando had seen. Her forehead could almost reach the tip of his nose, and she no longer had to raise her head to look at him.
If Princess Griffin was still a young girl in the first Black Rose War, she is now a charming mature woman. She exudes a majestic beauty, aloof, demure and composed.
Before noticing Brando and Haruze, the eldest princess - to be precise, the half-queen of Eruin - was thinking about something alone. Her most confidant female officer stood behind her and motioned Brando and Haruze to stop with her eyes.
Only then did Princess Griffin raise her head.
One thing about her has not changed, and that is the bright and sharp look in her eyes, which represents her firm or what outsiders call stubborn determination. Even to the end of her life, she never changed.
Glancing at this glance, Haruze, who originally put his hand on Brando's, couldn't help but nervously grasped his hand. The 'little princess' lowered her head in fear and mumbled subconsciously: "Sister, sister..."
It was like an instinct in the blood. Even though Princess Griffin had changed a lot, Haruze still recognized at a glance that the strange and familiar person in front of him was his sister. Although he didn't understand why his sister became like this. It was as if many years had passed at once, and her eyes became even more so that he did not dare to look at her.
As soon as Brando heard Haruze's voice, he broke into a cold sweat. He thought that His Highness the Prince had become at least a little braver, but he didn't expect that his true colors would be revealed as soon as he saw his old sister.
"Sister, Mr. Viscount, you are here." But what he didn't expect was that Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded slightly to them and then said this. The voice was very soft, like the distant song of an elf.
Brando was almost stunned for a moment before he reacted. ‘The person who lost his name relied on similar scenes in other people’s dreams to recall his own unbearable past bit by bit. ’ In this dream, Bedis is Princess Griffin’s sister, which means that Viscount Cardel’s fiancée may really be a princess - the Viscount gradually recovered some fragments of his memory.
No wonder he chose Haruze. The relationship between Haruze and Princess Griffin in his dream is indeed the one that best fits his memory.
"But doesn't this guy have a concept of men and women?" Brando couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
"Mr. Viscount, today I took the risk of asking you to come to Bedis. You should know what I mean, right?" Princess Griffith had already spoken again.
"Um?"
Brando looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess strangely, and her words confused him. Fortunately, he knew that this was not entirely his memory. The person leading this dream was Viscount Cardel, which meant that this dream might be both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
With such mental preparation, Brando calmed down a lot.
"Grand Duke Anlek will also come tonight -"
