Genshin Impact: I, the Prince of Winter, rule over the world

In the warm room, the little match seller danced happily. For a child, there is nothing happier than seeing the birds return.

"Blind sister, come out and take a look. The birds are back."

"Really?" The pretty woman sitting quietly by the stove responded softly.

She wore a blindfold, held her chin in her hands, and had a faint smile on her lips.

Fortunately, she rarely appears in public, otherwise the little girl would not be able to get along with her as easily and harmoniously as she does now if she knew that she was the third [Girl] Columbia among the executive officers of the Fools.

Colombia likes this feeling of getting along with ordinary people.

Only when the other party didn't know her true identity was she willing to tell the truth, and could she hear many interesting stories or information that could not be heard in the silent Winter Palace. Of course, Su Yu told her to pay more attention to people's sentiments and understand people's livelihood, which also prompted her to often An important reason for being mixed among the people.

It was only last week that I met the little girl’s family.

At that time, she discovered that the little girl was selling matches to foreigners on the street at a high price——

Although it did not violate the laws of the Solstice Kingdom, she did not support this immoral practice, so she pretended to be a refugee and fainted in front of the little girl's home.

Naturally, she did this for fishing. She wanted to test whether the little girl's family was worth saving.

She is quite experienced in fishing.

Last time, she overheard people talking on the street about an architect who often abused his wife, so she decided to give him some punishment.

When the architect found her lying in the snow, his first thought was not to rescue her, let alone report the crime. Instead, he reached into his coat pocket to look for something valuable.

She activated the power of ice to freeze the architect's hands and feet.

The architect screamed for help in panic, and the patrolling police officer heard the news and came.

She recounted what had just happened. Under severe questioning from the magistrate, the architect confessed on the spot and was eventually arrested and imprisoned for committing the crime of theft.

She tested the little girl in the same way, but the little girl called her grandfather, who immediately carried her back to the house to keep warm. She also invited a doctor to come to the house for consultation, which almost spent all her income from selling matches in the past few days.

Feeling the kindness of the little girl's family, she found an excuse to live there. Every night while the little girl and the old man were asleep, she secretly removed the cancer cells from the old man's body...

The kind-hearted people of Solstice Kingdom are always worth helping.

The little match seller suddenly realized that her elder sister was blind. After apologizing quickly, she took her hand and came to the window.

"Blind sister, do you hear the singing of birds? There are so many kinds of birds."

"Hmm...it sounds nice. Do you like the sound of birdsong or the singing of fairies?"

"The song of the fairies." The little girl answered without thinking.

Columbia asked: "The songs of the fairies are lonely and cold, and the same songs come and go. After listening to them for so many years, won't you feel bored?"

The old man stared: "What you hear is different from what we hear, girl. What I hear is joy, happiness, and optimism, and it is definitely not comparable to the sound of birdsong. Even if birds return to the city in the future, the sound of birdsong will not be the same." It cannot replace the singing of the fairies at night.”

The little girl praised: "Grandpa said it well."

Columbia smiled contentedly.

Then she put away her smile and looked at the roof of the tall building at the intersection. Every move of Xiaogong and her assistant appeared in her eyes, and she resented in her heart: "Huh, this Miss Xiaogong is beautiful and kind-hearted. My pyrotechnics skills have reached the pinnacle, and I will be a pyrotechnics master in the future. No wonder I am so valued by His Highness."

During the day today, the little girl sold matches to Xiao Gong. It was a fishing operation she designed.

In the morning, she told the little girl that she heard the voices of foreigners on the street outside. The little girl knew that her hearing was amazing, so she immediately went downstairs and walked around the street. Sure enough, she found Xiao Gong and her assistant, so she took the initiative to come up. Pre-sales.

As a result, the other party bought not just one box, but all of them!

"Blind sister, I lied to that overseas sister, and I feel so bad because she didn't lie to me. She said she would see flying birds tonight, and it really came true. The person setting off the fireworks must be that sister, alas."

The little match seller recalled the strange behavior of Xiaogong looking at the sky during the day, and now she realized that she was observing the airflow to prepare for the fireworks at night.

"Well, the fireworks she made are beautiful."

While the two were talking, the fireworks exploded in the air again.

This time, a snowflake pattern formed.

The snowflake pattern has special meaning in the winter and is the symbol of the country. Some people also tattoo the snowflake pattern on their bodies to show their love and loyalty to the country.

The wonderful fireworks show once again aroused cheers from the people. There is no doubt that this amazing fireworks show will be the news in Solstice Kingdom tomorrow.

Facing this romantic beauty, Columbia silently returned to the stove.

Tonight's fireworks show was very successful. Xiao Gong will become famous tomorrow because of it. Su Yu handed over the exclusive agency rights of black gunpowder to such a talented woman. It would be difficult for her to use the excuse that Su Yu just admired Xiao Gong's talent. understand.

Thinking of those sweet words Su Yu held her hand and said, she felt inexplicably disappointed.

The old man suddenly said excitedly: "Girl, it's a pity that you don't come to see the show. The finale is coming, I'm really looking forward to it. It's coming, it's coming -"

The grandfather and grandson looked very excited and looked out the window intently.

A firework blooms in the night sky, scatters, reorganizes, and gathers, eventually forming a giant six-winged pattern.

The little girl discovered something special: "It's so beautiful. Hey, why does it look like the hair accessory on the head of the blind sister?"

"Girl, come and see, are the fireworks outside imitating your hair accessories?"

Columbia looked out the window.

He was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly again.

She instantly understood that this fireworks display must have been ordered by Su Yu.

Not only for the whole winter, but also for her alone.

Su Yu once said, you are a firework in the world.

Just like tonight.

Chapter 162 Fireworks Show

[Girl] Columbia once again came to stand in front of the ice-covered window, her long eyelashes swaying slightly, as if she was about to open her eyes.

The special "gift" Su Yu prepared for her was of great significance. The fireworks of the six-winged hair ornament symbolized something self-evident, which was equivalent to revealing his love for her.

I believe that starting tonight, many people in Winter Kingdom will understand who is the woman that His Royal Highness cares about most.

"I'm sorry, blind sister. Grandpa and I have forgotten that you can't see. Let me describe it to you." The little girl held Columbia's arm and apologized.

Columbia came back to her senses and hurriedly controlled her emotions——

You must not open your eyes. This is what Su Yu specifically warned before leaving.

The old man joked: "Granddaughter, your sister doesn't look like a blind person at all. From the stove to here, there are two benches, one big and one small. Her feet are as if she has eyes and can see. She avoids all the people. Obstacles. And yesterday, the old cat was sleeping at her door. I thought she would step on the cat's tail when she went out, but she was able to step over it smoothly."

Columbia replied: "The eyes cannot see, but the heart is not blind. Old man, you have observed me quite carefully."

"I only have one granddaughter. I don't have to be cautious when strangers come to my house. Under His Highness's rule over the past few years, the public security of our Winter Kingdom has been much better than before. Take my granddaughter as an example. At least she dares to In the past, I wouldn't have been worried about selling matches alone, but there are still a lot of bad guys out there, so I have to be on guard."

"Old man, do you think I am a good person or a bad person?"

"If you were a bad person, we, my grandfather and my grandson, would have suffered a long time ago. You would stay up late at night every day, and would come to my room and sit on the bedside. There were several times when I thought you were trying to make money or kill someone, which really hurt me. I was on tenterhooks. I found out later that you were treating an old man like me."

The little girl hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, are you sick? Is it serious?"

The old man smiled and said: "It's not serious, your blind sister helped me cure it."

The little girl was dubious. She clearly heard her grandfather coughing violently in the morning. She asked Columbia: "Sister, is what grandpa said true?"

"Of course it's true, don't worry." Columbia had to cooperate with the old man and lied. In fact, the old man's cancer had reached an advanced stage. All she could do was prolong his life and alleviate his pain.

Cancer is an incurable disease that even gods cannot save.

"Girl, you are a good person. I am proud that our Zhidong Kingdom has His Highness the Prince and a kind-hearted executive like you. We, Zhidong, will definitely be able to overturn the laws of nature and achieve our grand goals in the future."

The old man revealed her identity.

In the eyes of the children, this fireworks show was just a wonderful fireworks show. As an older person, he naturally saw other things.

Such a grand and solemn performance can be enjoyed by Her Majesty the Queen in the Winter Palace, and can also be seen by civil and military officials. It can be said that it is attracting everyone's attention. And the fireworks pattern as the finale is actually the same as the hair accessory of the blind girl she saved. He then guessed that she might be a big shot in Winter Kingdom, and her status was absolutely extraordinary.

He had heard a rumor before that among the eleven executive officers of Solstice, there was a female executive officer who seemed to be blind, and he speculated that she might be that executive officer.

If they were executive officers, it would make sense. They were so powerful that even if they didn't use their eyes, they had special skills that allowed them to see everything in the outside world.

Seeing that Columbia's expression remained unchanged, the old man further confirmed his suspicion that she was the executive officer. He took his granddaughter aside and bowed respectfully: "Sir, I want to ask you something."

"Say it." Columbia sighed softly. She didn't like the feeling of being complimented. She was more comfortable with the previous equal relationship with the old man's family.

"In the future when I am gone, can you allow my granddaughter to go to Hearth House. I heard that the children there have free food and accommodation, and they also have the opportunity to listen to His Royal Highness's lectures, which is beneficial to the child's growth. I have nothing to repay you. , if you don’t mind, please take away the title deed of this old house.”

His old house is located in the core area of ​​Solstice City. It used to be a slum nearby. In the past three years, it has been transformed into a commercial street through large-scale development. As a result, housing prices have been rising. Several neighbors have sold their houses and made a lot of money. .

He has never been willing to sell it. Firstly, he has lived in the house for a long time and has feelings for it, and he would not be able to adapt to a different place. Secondly, he plans to leave the house to his granddaughter as a future dowry.

He is currently worrying about what arrangements will be made for his granddaughter after his death. Since the person in front of him is the executive officer, it is definitely not a bad idea to exchange this house for an opportunity to go to the Hearth House.

Columbia did not agree at the first time, but said: "The physical training at Hearth House is very difficult. When you go there, you have to learn fighting, fighting and various physical skills. People who can't endure hardship and are not strong-willed enough will have to wait for a few days. There will be a psychological breakdown.”

The old man explained: "Sir, I know all this. I just want to find a home for my granddaughter. I heard that His Royal Highness likes every child there, and I believe he can take good care of my granddaughter. I'm afraid I can't wait. It’s the day when the laws of nature are overthrown in winter, but my granddaughter will definitely be able to do her part!”

"I promise you."

For Columbia, this little thing is just a matter of convenience.

"Thank you, sir. This is the title deed of the old house. Please accept it."

Columbia accepted the land deed and said quietly: "No need to thank me, thank you for your integrity. Most people have guessed my identity and will not expose it to my face like you. Instead, they will try their best to please me in the following days and try every means to please me. Me, try your best to get benefits from me."

"Sir, the fireworks show outside is over. I'll give you a treat."

The old man felt like a mirror in his heart. He knew that from the moment her identity was revealed, it would be impossible to get along with her under the same roof as before.

"Blind sister..."

The little girl cried in confusion.

When Columbia left, she left some money. It was not a large amount, but it could guarantee their normal life for the next six months. The little girl no longer had to go to the street to sell matches in the wind and snow every day.

The reason why she only stayed for half a year was because she had a premonition that the old man would only have half a year left at most.

Coming outside, Columbia didn't know where to go.

Go back to your deserted executive mansion?

just forget it.

Every time she went back, she would think of the time she spent with Su Yu. The pain of lovesickness was like a heart-gnawing poisonous insect, torturing her tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

She was thinking about finding another place to "fish" when the sound of boots on the snow came from not far away.

After the grand fireworks show ended, the city returned to silence, and the footsteps became particularly clear.

"It's not easy to finally find you."

Colombia frowned and asked, "Arecino, what do you want from me?"

[Servant] Arecino licked the snowflakes that fell on his lips: "Let's watch the fireworks prepared by His Highness. I want to know, if I hurt you, will he hate me forever?"

Faced with Arecino's provocation, Colombia did not retreat at all.

"You madman, do you want to fight? I'll accompany you!"

Chapter 163 Wish

There was another blizzard at night, and the Winter City was in a mess.

But outside the city, two strong figures were wrestling with each other.

Fortunately, the two executives did not use elemental power, but only used physical skills to fight. Otherwise, the violent movement would trigger an avalanche in the distance and attract the attention of the patrols in the city.

At their level, it would be difficult to tell the winner unless they used elemental combat skills.

It wasn't until they were tired from beating that the two stopped and found a pine tree weighed down by heavy snow to rest.

"and many more."

[Servant] Arecino took out his weapon, flattened the branches on the pine tree trunk, and then the two of them sat cross-legged on it.

Columbia asked: "Have you had enough?"

"There's no showdown, it's not fun."

"Then continue?"

This time it was Arecino's turn to give in. She waved her hand: "Forget it, I am no match for you. Using elemental power, Dadalia and I can't beat you together. Your Highness the Prince is really treating you." Okay. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the fireworks show at Xiao Palace is for you alone.”

"Do you like His Highness?"
