I'm not that kind of orc

I have seen this thing before. It is a spice bag commonly used by elves. It can be placed next to the pillow when sleeping at night. It can calm the nerves and repel mosquitoes. Princess Alisa and Angelica gave it to me when I was in college. Pass.

The cloth bag is stitched together by two kinds of fabrics, obviously made of impromptu material, and the herbal medicine has just been dried, and still has a bit of warmth.

Most likely, Angelica planned to get one for me temporarily, and forced Feilan to help make it.

I silently pocketed the broken spice bag and placed it gently beside my pillow.

But at last, instead of lying in bed, I went back to my chair and sat down, and sat there till morning.

The next morning.

"Come out and come with us." The two knights following Miriam opened the door of the room and said in a business-like tone.

I dragged my sleepless body and walked towards the door.

I didn't lie down on the bed until dawn, because I could predict that even if I fell asleep, I would not be able to sleep peacefully.Rather than tossing and turning in bed, haunted by manic intermittent dreams, I'd rather sit in a chair and wait for dawn.

In the second half of the night, I wanted to use meditation to empty my mind, so that I would not think about Angelica's crying face and Feilan's furious appearance for a while.

But it failed.

Coming out of the room, I saw Miria standing not far away. She was in charge of my resettlement and guarding.

She was staring at me closely with eyes intertwined with unwillingness and grievance, which reminded me of those wargs who were punished and locked in animal cages—the wargs that are still being tamed did something that violated discipline, The wolf tamers would lock them up, and put raw meat outside the cage, so that they could only watch them circling sharply in the cage. In this way, the wolf realized that he had done something wrong.

That's right, Miria's eyes are exactly the same as those worgs who want to eat but can't eat meat.

That collar is still on her neck, thanks to my order yesterday that she must never step into my room, otherwise she will definitely not be safe this night.

I was taken by them outside the palace dug out of the mountain yesterday, and suddenly I saw a large circle of elf guards outside the entrance, and there were faint voices of dispute.

what's going on?

As we approached, the guards noticed Miriah, saluted and made way for her.

And I directly saw what happened inside the human wall by being far taller than these elves.

The figure of the black-haired elf came into view—it was Princess Alyssa, and several elf representatives were surrounding her to persuade her.

"Your Highness, you are acting too nonsense." A somewhat familiar elf female officer shook her head at her, "How could you come here alone without telling Your Majesty?"

Reflecting on it, I recognized the elf, whom I had met twice in the courtrooms of this country—the presiding judge.

"I will report this to His Majesty and arrange for someone to take you back." Tolivia, wearing half a silver mask, said sternly, and turned to the adjutant beside her, "Testa, send someone to go Get the car ready!"

"No... I..." Princess Alyssa, who was flanked, was a little embarrassed. It sounded like she had sneaked out of the palace to come here.

"Everyone... don't hurt your peace." An elf female official dressed as a priest acted as a peacemaker.

"Please wait a moment, let's listen to what His Highness wants to say first." At this moment, Roland spoke, fighting for a chance for Her Highness Alisa to speak.

Only then did the other representatives quiet down.

Princess Alisa put her hands on her chest, calmed down, and said slowly: "I hope...to attend the negotiation meeting."

As soon as this remark came out, the representatives except Roland's eyes widened.

"How can this be done? Those savage orcs keep saying that they want to take you as a hostage!" Tolivia said with a serious expression, "Their army is still gathering near the border, and no one can guarantee that they will not move. What a crooked mind, it's too dangerous for you here, please don't say such willful words!"

"However, at this moment when the country is in crisis, I can't bear to keep hiding behind my back!" The princess suddenly gained momentum, trying hard to put on a tough expression, "The request they made mentioned me, I can't stay out of it. The people of Saidian don't need the royal family who just hide behind the people and tremble. My father, the king, once gave his life for this country. As his daughter, I have the responsibility Face it all yourself!"

Hearing this sentence, I was stunned.

Not only me, but also the presiding elf judge and Tolivia were stunned for a moment.

"Let her attend." After a moment of silence, Roland expressed his opinion.

"Roland! What are you thinking!?" Tolivia frowned.

"At least this garrison area is under our control, not to mention you and I are here at the venue." Roland lightly paused the staff in his hand, looked sideways at Tolivia, "His Royal Highness's request is also Not too much."

Tolivia looked at Roland sharply for a long time, and finally let out a breath from her nose.

"Testa, stay with His Highness for the time being." She looked at her adjutant, "Also, the number of guards at the scene will be doubled!"

"Yes!" Testa took the order.

Then Tolivia turned her face to Princess Alyssa, and said with a blank expression: "No matter what, I must tell Your Majesty that this negotiation is over, and I cannot make any concessions on this point. If she orders you to go back, it will be an offense." You and I will follow His Majesty's orders, please understand."

"I understand." The princess nodded.

Tolivia instructed several of her subordinates to stay behind, and headed to the venue with a group of knights.

Afterwards, the presiding judge and the priestess also confessed a few words to the princess and walked into the entrance.

Princess Alisa breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Roland: "Thank you, Dean Roland."

"I just respect your choice, Your Highness." Roland saluted her. "You are right. What we are facing now is closely related to this country and you. You have the right to witness it with your own eyes."

Princess Alisa smiled, and inadvertently shifted her gaze to the surroundings, and suddenly noticed me: "Ah, Classmate Bullock!"

"Your Highness..." I responded.

The princess was about to walk towards me, but Testa stopped in front of her: "Wait a minute, Your Highness! How could you approach that orc so unsuspectingly?"

"He is my friend in the academy." The princess looked surprised.

"What!?" Testa's eyes widened, "What are you thinking? Don't you understand? That orc might be a spy who broke into our place under the guise of a prisoner of war! If you approach rashly, Maybe he will hold you here—"

"Please don't say such baseless words! Take back this kind of remarks and step back!" The princess suddenly frowned when she heard the words, exuding a strong aura similar to that of the elf queen, making Tess The tower was silent.

"If you suspect others, you need to produce evidence! I have been with Bullock for a while, and I know what kind of person he is better than you! What's more, he has stood up for this country. I can't tolerate you in my So slandering him in front of you!" The princess looked into Testa's eyes seriously, "Now, step back!"

"Yes... I made a slip of the tongue, I'm sorry." Dista was completely overwhelmed by her momentum, and retreated tremblingly.

I suddenly found that this guy is really pitiful, every time he makes a slight move, he will be beaten up by different people...

The princess was able to walk in front of me. With Tista as a warning, none of Miriah's subordinates who escorted me did anything to stop me.

"Student Bullock, why are you here?" The princess looked up at me.

"for this I……"

"He was sent here as a prisoner of war who was scheduled to be returned." Roland walked slowly towards this side and answered for me, "The six major tribes of the orcs have asked us to return him."

"Student Bullock... are you leaving!?" Princess Alisa widened her eyes in surprise when she heard the answer.

"As for the reservation, he has to decide by himself today." Roland said quietly, and answered for me again.Then, she cast her eyes on me, "But just look at your useless face now... It seems that the night I fought for you was in vain."

I can't speak.

"Have you told Angelika and Feilan about this?" Princess Alisa asked another question.

I suddenly recalled yesterday's scene, and replied vaguely: "They already know...they were brought here by Arsena."

"But you didn't tell them when you met them." Roland interjected, "It was Her Highness Arsena who told them."

"Yesterday, those two children came to the door and had a big fight with him because of this matter." Mi Ruiya added coldly from the side.

Sure enough, this guy has been staring at my house all night...

"Classmate Bullock..." Classmate Alyssa looked at me with helplessness and blame, "It's too much for you to say nothing about such an important matter...it's not surprising to be slapped, Angeli Classmate Ka values ​​you so much, and Classmate Feilan should also care a little bit, don't you care about them at all, are you just planning to leave without saying goodbye?"

"..." Thinking of the spice bag those two girls made for me, I was so choked that I couldn't speak.

"Student Bullock, what are your plans?" the princess asked.

"Your Highness, you should go to the venue first." At this moment, Roland stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder lightly.

"But……"

"Even if you ask him now, you won't be able to find anything. But anyway, before today's negotiation meeting, he has to give the result on the spot. You should go to the venue and wait." Roland said calmly.

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Princess Alyssa nodded, gave me a simple salute, and then left under the escort of Testa and several elf knights.

"You haven't decided yet." Roland sighed at me.

"Sorry..." I scratched my head, "Obviously you bought me time on purpose."

"It's not like the usual you at all. Do you still remember the time when Arsena's magic sword caused trouble, when you went to meet me on the roof? At that time, you were so stubborn that you couldn't help it Ah." Roland said with some nostalgia, "But now you are hesitating like this."

"I don't know what it is." I shook my head and answered honestly, "I just feel very confused."

In my eyes, things should only be divided into dos and don'ts.

But this time, for the first time, I found that I couldn't grasp what was the right thing to do.

"Seeing Her Royal Highness Alisa sneaking over and insisting on attending the negotiation meeting despite so many people's objections, I somehow remembered you at that time." Roland said slowly.

"Me?" I was a little surprised.

"She knows what to face, and you should really learn from her now." Roland turned around after finishing speaking, "It's time to go to the venue, the representatives of the six major tribes should have arrived, no matter how much you hesitate , now is the time to make a decision.”

Escorted by Miriah's knights, I walked mechanically and followed behind Roland.

"... It is my responsibility to face all of this myself." Princess Alisa's words echoed in my head.

What should I face?

As Roland said, when we stepped into the scene, representatives of the six major tribes had already arrived. Except for Igna and the two orcs who appeared here yesterday, there were three more dressed-up orcs on the scene. Various representatives of the orcs, just like yesterday, they did not bring any guards - to some extent, this was not just out of courage, but more like a kind of contempt, like insisting not to take Same as weapons.

Arsena was also sitting in yesterday's position, and when she saw me, she stood up excitedly and was about to ask something, but Wikas behind her held her shoulder.After exchanging glances with her teacher, Arsena was finally more or less aware of the surrounding situation, sat down obediently, and swallowed her words at the same time.

"It seems that everyone is here." Igna glanced around after seeing me, "Oh, no, it seems that there is one more." Princess Alisa narrowed her eyes slightly, "This... I seem to have an impression."

"I am Princess Alyssa of Saidian, the heir to the throne of this country." Princess Alyssa did not flinch, and bravely met the other party's sight.

"Well, I remember, they are the hostages who are scheduled to be handed over to us." Igna's voice was calm, "What? You have already figured it out before the negotiation even started?"

"No, I'm here to participate in the negotiation. After all, the request you made is related to me. I have to confirm it myself to see if you have any personal grievances against me." Princess Alyssa said neither humble nor overbearing.

Hearing these half-joking words, Igna raised her eyebrows: "I have to admit, you are very brave, Your Highness, I salute you. To be honest, I quite like you."

"Thank you." The princess replied calmly.

"But unfortunately, what we have to deal with is an issue between countries, and you will be involved, purely because of your identity."

"Isn't it because of your savage nature that you like to rob others?" Tolivia suddenly interjected, making the atmosphere slightly tense.

"If you want to spit at each other, let's wait until after the negotiation meeting starts. Now let's solve some other issues." Igna did not accept her provocation, and turned to me and Roland, who had just been seated, "Then according to yesterday's agreement, Bullock." She fixed my eyes, "You should make a decision."
