messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 14 People Can't Always Think About Work
The news of the fall of Plann King City quickly spread throughout the entire continent. People were discussing the desolation of Plann, the Lionheart Queen, the brutal and domineering Reinhard kingship, and the future direction of the continent.

In any case, they always have something to discuss. After all, most people are good at one thing, which is to make "professional" remarks about things that they don't know much about themselves.

Among countless conspiracy theories, royal power theories, and critical theories, there is one person who surprisingly attracts a lot of attention.

She is a person without a past, because people don't know her past, only know that she appeared out of nowhere, killed Plann's space sage Hubert, and quickly won the war for Reinhardt.

Eventually, she became known as the Dark Knight.

According to legend, she was dressed in pitch-black armor and killed brutally, with a scarlet eye.Some people even said that she would not die, even if her head was beheaded, she would still continue to kill with her head in hand.

The dark knight seems to have become a new taboo legend.

After staying in Plann for about a month, Hillman brought the army back to Reinhardt.

Whether she is satisfied, or whether she wants to start another war, no one knows, except herself and Chu.

And to celebrate the victory, on the first day she returned to Reinhardt, a message was sent from the palace.

A banquet will be held in Wangcheng to celebrate the soldiers' triumphant return.

Countless drinks and ingredients were transported into Reinhardt's royal city, and this will be a grand banquet shared by the whole city.

Unlike other countries on the mainland, there is no haze in the sky of Reinhardt, only stars, moon and sunshine.

······
The noon sun was just right.

At this time, the black knight called Taboo by the mainland was standing awkwardly in front of a mirror.

It's just that she wasn't wearing that full body armor at this time, but a black men's dress.

The close-fitting dress made her figure well outlined, slender, tall, and straight, but her chest was a little flat, with only some subtle curves, but men's dresses don't need to pay attention to these.

The design of the dress is very ingenious, making her look like an elegant gentleman, handsome without losing her demeanor, even the scar on her face is no longer so scary.

Chu Chu stood stiffly, letting the people behind him put the bow tie on her slender neck.

"Your Majesty, if it's clothing, I can prepare it myself."

She lowered her head uncomfortably and looked at her clothes.

This was prepared by Hillman for her. In Hillman's words, if she wanted to attend a banquet, she would not be able to wear that armor.

But in fact, no matter what kind of clothing it is, you can use the evil on your body to transform it.

"It's nice to try on real clothes once in a while, isn't it?"

Behind Chu, Hillman tied the bow tie around Chu's neck while talking.Putting down his hands, he walked from behind Chu to her side, and carefully looked at Chu's appearance in the mirror.

Looking at the person in the mirror, Hillman also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes as he praised.

"Suitable for you."

But at the beginning, I was still not used to it. There was still a difference between real clothes and her evil. It can be said that evil is a part of her body, but clothes are not.

But since it was the summoner's request, Chu had no choice but to accept it.

"Your Majesty, must I go to the banquet?"

Standing beside Hillman, Chu asked.

She doesn't like that kind of crowded occasion, because in her impression, quantity is the representative of chaos, and she doesn't like chaos.

"Of course." Hillman said with a smile, raised his hand gracefully, and adjusted his neckline again.

"I still want to invite you to dance. If you don't go, I will be alone."

Dance······
Chu's expression paused, she inexplicably had a bad premonition, and asked hesitantly.

"Your Majesty means..."

"Isn't it exciting that the hero of the war dances with the Queen?"

Hillman said with a smile.

At the beginning, I only felt a little pain in my head. If I want to say what kind of pain it is, it is probably the kind of pain shot into the brain by a bow and arrow.

"Your Majesty, I can't dance."

She still wanted to make some resistance, but Hillman obviously wouldn't give her a chance to refuse.

I saw Hillman lightly holding Chu's hand, and then approaching Chu's side, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"So, am I not going to teach you now?"

For the first time, Chu felt that the faint smile on Hillman's face was a little scary.

······
Sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and falls into the hall on the top floor of the castle. The marble floor reflects the shadow of the window and the two people.

Hillman was wearing a long red dress, which made her skin look fairer, and her long golden hair seemed to be shining.With an elegant smile on her charming face, she raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.

Chu put his arms around Hillman's waist awkwardly, and stood with Hillman, with his head bowed.

"Raise your head." Hillman looked at Chu and said, "When dancing, you need to look into the other person's eyes, so that you can understand the other person's movements, and the dance will be beautiful."

Chu raised his eyes helplessly.

In the corner of the hall, the phonograph began to play music.

The melodious voice came from the phonograph and echoed in the empty hall.

"First step, step out with your left foot."

Hillman put his hands on Chu's shoulders, looked into Chu's eyes, and said softly.

She started to move, and Chu followed her movements a little at a loss. From the shadow of the hall, the two walked to the sunlight in front of the window.

The person with brilliance in the sun and the person in shadow leaned together, their warm bodies embraced their cold bodies, and they danced.

At first, the movements of the two were still a little stiff, but gradually they became smoother and then graceful.

In the end, they stepped on one dance step after another perfectly, the red long skirt and black dress turned and hugged each other softly.

There was no one around, and the two stood together in front of the window at the highest point in Wangcheng.

Hillman rested her chin on Chu's shoulder, and lightly touched the side of Chu's face with her forehead. Chu's cheeks were cold and had no warmth at all, but she could hear Chu's breathing, and Chu was the same.

Their shadows slowly dragged out, overlapping in the music and in the pale golden light.

The top floor of the castle is still empty, but it should no longer be so lonely.

I don't know how long it took.

The music stopped quietly, and the two of them also stopped slowly.

Hillman loosened Chu's waist and stood in front of Chu.

They looked at each other for a while, and a smile appeared on Hillman's face.

"At the end, just end the dance with a smile. Can you smile? I've never seen you smile before."

After all, it usually looks like a robot at first glance, acting according to the set program, and will not do any superfluous things.

Sometimes it is unavoidable to make people feel that she has never had emotions, so naturally she can't laugh.

Chu was stunned for a moment, she seemed to have just remembered something, let go of Hillman's hand, and slowly lowered her head and replied.

"I do not know."

Her voice was calm, without sadness, joy, or fluctuation.

Of course, it's not that she can't imitate that expression, she just forgot what kind of emotion she needs to hold in order to show a real smile.

During the long, long time in the Apostle Wasteland, she had forgotten too many things, made her emotions indifferent, and made her heart stop beating. That silent heart reminded her all the time that she was not a human being. There are too many differences with people.

She is not a human being, so she does not belong here, she belongs to the Apostle Wasteland and her mission.

However, after a while, Hillman's voice came from in front of Chu.

"It's okay, I can teach you together."

For a moment, and it should only be for a moment, Chu felt her heart, which hadn't been beating for a long time, seemed to be beating.
