messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 16 Pride from the Lionheart

After the dancing of the queen and the knights, the feast officially begins.People enjoy food, sunshine, music, and this beautiful day.

Children fill their pockets with sweets, men fill their glasses with wine, and women keep flowers in their hair.

The bold boy invites the girl he likes to dance together, the shy gentleman is still hesitating how to express his love to the lady of the family, and a couple of old people are already hugging each other, leaning on each other's shoulders, shaking slowly on the dance floor.

The entire royal city is immersed in the feast, immersed in laughter, immersed in the fairy-tale world composed of wine and food, sunshine and breeze, poetry and dance.

A poet passed out drunk beside a wine barrel on the street, sitting on the ground, regardless of the dust on his clothes, just hugged his own violin, played it, and sang.

"Have you been to Reinhardt?
Lion, sword, knight, and shield.

Did you think that was the only thing out there?
If I have time, I would like to take you there to have a look.

Have you ever been to Reinhardt?

Wine, girls, ribbons, and singing and dancing.

Have you ever seen any of these?

If you have time, I would like you to stop and have a look.

There are the most fragrant wines, and there are the most beautiful girls.

The golden and red ribbons fly into the sky, and the streets are filled with singing and dancing.

Have you ever been to Rheinhardt?

It is the most beautiful place on the continent..."

The poet sang and fell into a deep sleep.He's traveled all over the continent, and he promises, this is the most beautiful city he's ever seen.Not just because of the feast, but because of the people here, and the smiles on their faces.

Chu walked alone in the central square where people were coming and going. After the dance, Hillman returned to the castle. Chu originally wanted to go back together, but Hillman asked her to stay and play by herself for a while.

She said that it would be a pity if Chu did not enjoy this banquet at all.

To be honest, I didn't really know how to enjoy it at first, so it became like this.Walking aimlessly in the square, looking at the people around.

The square is the busiest place in the city right now, and there is a joyous atmosphere everywhere, and everyone who walks by Chu is full of smiles.

This made Chu seem a bit out of place, but after all, she is not from this world, is she?
In her world, people have never been so gentle and friendly with each other as they are now.

Walking to a dining table, Chu casually picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth.

Then she didn't stop again, and not long after, all the snacks on the table were fed into her stomach, and the children on the side almost cried out of fright.

After eating the last piece of snack, Chu licked her fingers and mouth with satisfaction. She must admit that this kind of food with a subtle sweet taste has an irresistible temptation for her.

Is this enjoyment?

With this kind of understanding that I don't know if there is a mistake, Chu Chu began to look for the next table.

Unfortunately, before she could find anything, a voice interrupted her.

"early."

The voice came from the side. Chu followed the voice and saw that it was an acquaintance.

In this world, besides Hillman, Chu hardly knew anyone, but at least she had spoken to this person in front of her, so she should be considered an acquaintance.

Roland, she was called this name in memory.

Roland came from the crowd, she was wearing a dark blue tuxedo.A white shirt was lined inside, and a square scarf was folded in the chest pocket. The slightly brown skin was not fair, but it also had a different charm.

The silver men's short hair was combed evenly, making her look even more handsome.

Although she is a woman, she is more attractive than men in some aspects. Many ladies and ladies present secretly looked at this female sword saint from time to time.

Of course, there were still some eyes that fell on Chu Shu.

This was the first time Roland saw Chu's helmet, and she was a little surprised at the beginning. If it wasn't for Chu's aura, she wouldn't even be sure of Chu's identity.

But her purpose of calling Chu Chu this time is not about these.

"Are you okay?" Chu looked at Roland warily and said.

I remember very clearly at the beginning that Roland showed his murderous intent unabashedly when they met last time.

Roland's strength as a warrior is good, and he is naturally very sensitive to people's emotions and movements. She saw the initial vigilance and paused, but then continued to walk forward.

She walked up to Chu, holding a glass of wine in her hand, raised the glass to Chu, and said in a somewhat unfamiliar tone.

"You dance very well."

It can be seen that she is trying her best to express her kindness, but she is not good at praising others.

He glanced at the wine glass in Roland's hand for the first time, and nodded slightly after a while.

"Ah."

If it was a normal lady, she would be delighted to receive compliments, but she is not a normal person at first.

The atmosphere was silent.

Neither of them were good at communicating, so they stood there and looked at each other silently for a while.

"So." Maybe because the atmosphere was too weird, Chu Chu broke the silence: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Hmm." Roland put down the wine glass he was holding. She hadn't taken a sip of the wine in the glass. She didn't like to drink with this kind of goblet.

After a long pause, she finally spoke.

"I'm here to apologize. I shouldn't have been so rude to you before. It turns out that you are an excellent fighter."

She had witnessed Chu's battle on the previous battlefield of Plainn. Although she didn't know why Chu's head was beheaded and he still didn't die, in her eyes, Chu's battle was heroic and fearless, worthy of respect.

Therefore, she has been trying to find an opportunity to apologize during this time. As a knight, she will definitely be responsible for her actions.

Didn't wait for an answer.

Roland put the wine glass in his hand on the table, looked at Chu seriously and said.

"Next time I have the opportunity, I will apologize more formally."

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

She walked to the barrels piled up on the side of the street, took a wooden wine glass, poured a large glass of beer and drank it in big gulps.

Obviously, although she is wearing a dress, she prefers a bolder way of drinking to the nobleman's elegant way of drinking.

She should have finally uttered what she had been holding back for a long time, and she drank very happily.

However, Roland's behavior was seen by some people who didn't know the truth.

From their point of view, it happened like this. Roland hesitated to find Chu, and seemed to say something, but Chu was unmoved. Then Roland walked to the side of the street with a depressed face and drank heavily.

Coupled with the previous reverie about the relationship between Chu and Hillman, there were some special rumors afterwards.

There is a story about, two kingdoms knights and queens.

······
By the time I first returned to the castle, it was already evening, and the feast was not over yet, and the feast would last until the dawn of tomorrow.

Chu entered the uppermost room of the castle.

He found that Hillman was standing by the window, looking at the entire royal city through the window.

The sunset at dusk dyed the streets red, crowds gathered in the streets under the sunset, the music of the feast seemed to spread into the sky, and the clouds in the sky were retained, staying there, refusing to leave.

There was a smile on Hillman's face, a proud smile. Her pride came from her country and her people.

She didn't know how long she watched it.

Facing the crimson sunset, she opened her hands and said to Chu behind her.

"In the beginning, I wanted to bring this feast to the entire continent."

She wants to bring this prosperity to the entire continent.

This world is cruel, so the weak cannot survive, which was entrusted to her by her father and king since she was a child.

But Hillman didn't want to admit this. She wanted to overthrow this cruel world and build a new world, a world where weak and gentle people could survive.

So before that, she will face the cruelty of the whole world alone.

Can she face it?

She could, she never doubted.

For she is the Queen, the Queen of Lionheart.

She is Reinhard von Hillmann.
