Can the reincarnated fairy princess be loved?

"It's like a prison..."

"If this is a prison, those who don't have enough to eat on the road are not even counted as 'people'. There must be countless people who want to live here."

Anastasia smiled wryly, not knowing whether she was joking or sarcasm.

I remember that Shenyue also said that although living in Wangcheng is not free, it is much more comfortable than the hard life living in the forest.

"Good morning, Your Royal Highness."

"Welcome Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

The two maids passed by Fia and let them go to the side of the road to salute like ordinary servants. After Fia said goodbye to them with a smile in line with princess etiquette, she asked in a low voice while walking in the wide corridor.

"Since you can't summon others casually, it means that other people can't enter here casually. We came in without prior notice. Didn't the two maids feel puzzled just now?"

"There must be doubts. After all, the last time you came here was two years ago. The maid will only be curious about why you came here, and will not be surprised that you came in without an order. You are the eldest daughter of His Majesty and Queen, and are not within the restrictions."

Speaking of this, Anastasia's voice paused, her sister-like worry was revealed in her clear blue eyes that could be understood at a glance, and she unconsciously moved closer to Fia.

"Although it is really important to visit your biological mother, the subordinates feel that you only need to take a look at Queen Veronica from a distance to be considered polite. Queen Veronica is not worthy of you to do more."

It seems that Anastasia doesn't like Veronica very much.

It was the same when I was with Clark in the carriage. Although Clark did a terrible job at that time and made people hate it, what Anastasia did as a daughter was also awkward.It is true that Anastasia's feelings for herself have surpassed her feelings for her parents, but from the perspective of others, the daughter yelled at her downhearted father and threatened her father to kneel down and apologize by severing the relationship, which always makes people feel that something is wrong .

But things have become like this, and it is impossible for me to order Anastasia to reconcile with her parents. Things like feelings cannot be upgraded with orders. There are various reasons for dislike, but not liking this matter itself is not will change.

In the final analysis, if Clark and Veronica understand that the eldest princess is also innocent and treat themselves better, Anastasia will not hate them.This is not to excuse myself, but it is a matter of one size to one size. In other words, if I am not the eldest princess, and then meet Clark who hysterically curses the eldest princess in the carriage, I will definitely be filled with righteous indignation, and I will go up to teach a lesson as a sensible person He paused to let him understand what is right and wrong.

However, to keep self-aware creatures rational, manage their emotions well and not vent their anger on others, it is remarkable that one person in a hundred can do it. Clark and Veronica are ordinary people, and being strong does not mean that he is smart.It's as if the third princess is the eldest lady from a family, but in the end she is still the same as the little women that can be seen everywhere.

Although it was redundant, Fia asked just in case.

"Then Anastasia doesn't see her? I don't have any feelings for Veronica, and I don't regard her as a real mother. Anastasia doesn't have to be too close to Veronica, it will make me very sad The guilt of being human. Since Veronica likes Anastasia very much, it would be better to meet in secret, right?"

"But she doesn't care about you, she doesn't deserve to be called a mother at all, and she almost threw you out of the window when you were born!"

As if angry at Veronica's behavior, Anastasia raised her eyebrows. Fortunately, there were not many maids in Veronica's palace, so Anastasia's loud voice did not attract the maids' attention.

Fia closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

"I've said that you don't need to care about my feelings. Anastasia is an independent person, not my cat or dog. Besides, even a kitten and puppy will have things they want to do, Anastasia Don't you have any idea of ​​talking to Veronica?"

"No." Anastasia raised her chin slightly as if she was angry, and answered bluntly, "If she can apologize to you, this subordinate should face up to the relationship with her."

"Does Anastasia hate the Elf King? I want to be honest."

Fia raised her ruby-like earnest eyes, and Anastasia couldn't help but hesitate. She couldn't lie to Fia like this.Anastasia wandered her eyes to the floor, muttering reluctantly.

"hatred."

"That's good."

Fia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uh... Why did Your Highness say that?"

"Because I know that Anastasia still has a clear concept of right and wrong? If Anastasia thinks that the Elf King is right, I will be the one who has a headache. Haha, anyway, I understand. Anastasia can disappear if she doesn't want to see her. "

"OK……"

Anastasia's tone revealed obvious doubts, but Fia didn't explain more.

The two came to a garden with a strange shape within a short time. The reason why it is so strange is that it is a birdcage-shaped building with a height of more than 20 meters and is composed of golden fences. The material is covered, so people outside can clearly see the scene inside the birdcage - flowers and plants are planted everywhere, there are flowing water and things like waterfalls, and even tables and chairs for people to rest and pure white stone pavilions can be seen.

Veronica's palace is a "back"-shaped building, and the empty courtyard in the center is used to place this birdcage. The birdcage does not imprison Veronica, but is purely for thermal insulation and aesthetic considerations.

Because Veronica was weak and sick, she couldn't go out casually, so Yeledo specially transplanted many plants in the empire here. Many temperate plants could not stand the cold of Blossom, so houses with greenhouse effects were particularly important.

Through the gaps between the creeper-like plants, a woman with pale skin and blue blood vessels under the skin appeared in Fia's field of vision. The woman was sitting in the pure white stone pavilion at the corner of the birdcage weaving clothes, and beside her was a guard. The gray-haired old maid, the sunlight shines on the woman through the transparent dome of the greenhouse, making the woman in the white dress seem like she will become a fairy at any time, and the body reflects the transparent light.

Although she is a beautiful woman, her appearance is lacking in vitality. Anyone who sees her will think of such words as poor-fated woman and unfortunate person.

Veranika Alexia Usher, who seems to be 27 and [-] years old, is completely unimaginable that she is already a mother.

Veronica didn't notice anyone coming, and Fia stopped through the birdcage. She felt that Anastasia was right. Looking at Veronica from a distance, he has fulfilled his duty.

Of course, this refers to being a daughter. From a third-party point of view, Veronica is the victim, and she should find a way to help her escape—in other words, Clark told the werewolf woman named Qianchun He wanted to rescue Veronica, but he hadn't heard anything until now, and he didn't know whether he didn't take any action or was caught by the Imperial Guard before the action even started.

If caught by the imperial guards, the end will definitely be death, but this has nothing to do with him, Clark's attitude makes it difficult for people to have a good impression of him, at most he can only fish out Qianchun, because Qianchun is a sensible person.

From a certain point of view, Clark, like Prince Shane, chose the wrong path. If Clark had been sincere and cooperative at the beginning, I would have helped him bring Veronica out. Unfortunately, as I said at the beginning, no Everyone can keep calm all the time.

Fia, who was standing under the shadow of the eaves, looked at Veronica for a few minutes, then shook her head. Veronica was immersed in knitting clothes, so it's not bad if it goes on like this.She really didn't want to be caught by Veronica and say hysterically like she was accused by Clark before. She could still get angry with Clark and punch her upper body, but she obviously couldn't do that with Veronica.

"Anastasia, let's go."

"Yes."

Fia and Anastasia turned around, but before the two could take a few steps, a young maid hurriedly ran out of the birdcage. Fia guessed that the maid was covered by a bush, which caused her death. I didn't see it myself.

"Please wait! Your Highness Anastasia!"

Her Highness Anastasia?

It was the first time that Fia heard someone address Anastasia by His Royal Highness. She turned her head curiously and saw an elf maid with an anxious face running towards her.

"Ha, ha... Your Highness Anastasia... Lady Veronica, please sit in the greenhouse."

"Anastasia please?"

The maid didn't talk about herself, so it's definitely not that she forgot. It's not surprising that Veronica did this on purpose, but it made people feel relieved. Fia didn't want to be invited in as an air at all.

Fiya turned her head to look at Anastasia, who had a very complicated look on her face, Fiya said with a smile.

"I'll wait for you here, you go in."

"But……"

"It's nothing, I said don't care about me."

"...Your subordinate understands." Anastasia took a deep breath and turned to look at the maid, "Take me there."

"Yes!"

Anastasia quickly walked into the giant birdcage. Through the gaps in the leaves, Fia could vaguely see the communication between Anastasia and Veronica. Veronica was obviously very happy, not only stood up and took Anastasia Ya's hand, and took out many knitted clothes from the storage props to Anastasia, but Anastasia was reluctant, and the two kept talking.

As a result, Anastasia's expression gradually calmed down, along with a little surprise, as if Veronica had said something rare.

It was not until a full quarter of an hour passed that Veronica stood up and watched Anastasia leave. The latter's expression when she left the birdcage was more subtle than when she went to the birdcage just now.

"Your Highness, Queen Veronica invites you in."

"Please me?"

Fiya, who was about to turn around and leave, was stunned.

Anastasia thought deeply.

"She seems to be different from before... She started to ask some things about you. She never asked these things before. Maybe she changed her mind. In short, you will know when you see it yourself."

"Then I'll go take a look."

According to the mother, it is enough to have Ulinsa's mother, and even if Veranika changes her mind, it is difficult for herself to have the same feelings for her as she has for Ulinsa's mother.

Thinking of such a thing in her heart, Fia came to the greenhouse full of greenery.Just like its name, the greenhouse is very warm. The outdoor temperature is only about 4-5°C, but the indoor temperature is at least 21°C. Fia can clearly feel the strong fire and earth elements inside, and the strong warmth makes people feel warm. Want to take off a piece of clothing right away.

Another thing to say is that the maid in the birdcage has been kicked out by Veronica, leaving only herself and Veronica in the birdcage.

"You came."

A gentle female voice came from the white stone pavilion, and as Veronica raised her head, Fia was able to see Veronica's face.

Her lips are thin and thin, her face lacks blood, and her eyes are the same as her own, showing magnificent red pupils, so her skin looks paler in contrast. If the long golden hair turns white, it will make people think it is The albino patient revealed a sense of weakness in his light and ethereal tone.

The stone bench opposite Veronica was empty, apparently signaling for herself to sit on it. After Fia took the seat, Veronica smiled on her face as pale as a burnt candle.

"Can you pour me a glass of water, please?"

Inexplicable beginning.

Not knowing what Veronica was going to do, Fia thought that Veronica was the eldest princess's biological mother, so she picked up the kettle on the table and poured water for Veronica. The smile on Veronica's face remained unchanged. , but there was a trace of bitterness and sadness in those magnificent red eyes.

"The behavior is still the same as before, but the eyes have changed obviously. You really lost your memory... Even though you would do the same when I said this before, you can't see the feeling of an elf in your expression."

"So you invited me here just to see if I have lost my memory?"

"...Not all of them." Veronica lowered her head and looked at her face in the water glass, "...Looking at you, you should have heard from other people that I treated you badly in the past—— It can no longer be described as bad, it is worse than a stranger. I invite you here today, neither to repent, nor to hope that you will forgive me, I just want to tell you that I am sorry for you in the past. "

"..."

Because she has no feelings for Veronica, and has never regarded Veronica as her mother, Fia's sudden confession of Veronica's mistake made no waves, and she just acted as an audience silently.

Veronica continued with her teacup in both hands.

"I have always hated your birth and regarded you as an extension of Yeledo. Not only did I ignore you, but I also wanted to kill you in this world. I have thought so for nearly a hundred years, until I heard you The news that he was hit hard by the Holy Nation and lost his memory..."

As if considering her feelings, Veronica's water glass shook and rippled.

"There seems to be a piece missing in my heart, and I always feel empty... I want to be happy about your loss of memory, and feel that my dream has finally come true. Jerido will be furious and disappointed. I will be happy, but the truth is that I I can’t be happy, I actually started to worry about your safety, I hope you can come back alive.”

"It wasn't until then that I realized that, in fact, I knew in my heart that you have nothing to do with Jeledo, you are you, he is him, no matter what I do to you, it can't change the fact that you are my flesh and blood, we have been together for a long time , Even if it is a piece of wood, I will be reluctant to give it up, not to mention that you are still my daughter... If you want to say that you are different from Anastasia, only Anastasia was born with love, But I only have hatred for you. In fact, until now, I can't erase the faint hatred for you in my heart. This feeling has been engraved in my heart. As long as I see your face, I will remember it. Even if I Reason knows it's wrong."

Veronica seemed to feel a lot more relaxed after saying these words. Veronica's pale face turned rosy, and Fia wanted to answer, but Veronica pointed her palm towards Fia, signaling Fia not to speak.

"I don't ask you to forgive me, and I don't want you to forgive me. It's good for us to maintain the current relationship of ignoring each other. I just want to admit to you that I did something wrong and I am not a qualified mother."

"But these right and wrong have nothing to do with Anna. I am very grateful to you for bringing her back from the exiled land, and I am also very grateful that you bring Anna with you every time you come. I don't know why you bring Anna here now, but I know that you came here in the past just to allow me to meet Anna... Thinking about it this way, I owe you too much. What Anna said just now is right, both me and Clark are idiots who can't see the situation clearly, but Even so, I hope you can continue to treat Anna kindly, she treats you..."

Speaking of this, Veronica pursed her lips, her expression darkened.

"This is my retribution..."

"You don't need to tell me that I will treat Anastasia kindly. She is special to me."

This time Fiya found a chance to speak, and said it expressionlessly.

The bitterness on Veranika's face became even stronger.

"Special...hehehe, so be it, as long as Anna thinks it's okay. If I interfere, I'm repeating what my father did. This is retribution, retribution. Phew, gossip is all about , selfishly pulling you to listen to my apology, as an apology, I want to tell you some secrets that have lost your memory, this is something that only Yeledo and I know."

Speaking of this, Veronica's expression became more positive. This is the first time that Fia felt the power of a princess from Veronica. level.

She said it word by word.

"I know you have seen Princess No.17 who restored the dance of the holy tree, and also made the holy tree that withered for thousands of years sprout again, but it is best to stop here, whether it is to let the holy tree sprout again , or the dance of restoring the sacred tree, it’s all here, don’t go on.”

"why?"

Fia asked a natural question.

"Don't you think the loss of the Dance of the Sacred Tree and the Witch is strange? If something so important to the elves is lost, it will be lost. Besides, since you have seen Princess No.17, you must have seen Princess No.17 restore the sacred tree The appearance of the dance of the holy tree, the dance of the holy tree is a ritual to manipulate other people's minds, my affinity for the holy tree is not much worse than that of Princess No.17, I also tried to restore the dance of the holy tree when I was young, but the result was the holy tree The dance gave me a bad feeling. I felt as if I was being deliberately led to go somewhere. My soul was pulled by an unspeakable force. Since then, I have never tried to recover. The Dance of the Sacred Tree. I think there is a deep secret in it, but it is so old that I can’t find any information about it.”

"I don't know how you let the withered holy tree germinate, but the withering of the holy tree and the disappearance of the witch happened at the same time. They must be related. Even if it is for your own safety, the current life can last for a day. , don't interfere."

What Veranika wants to express is that even if the sacred tree will die completely in the future, as long as it does not come to an end while she is alive, she should not touch the sacred tree. It is too dangerous—mainly dangerous to the witch.

"I see."

Fiya thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

You can listen to Veronica's words, but not all of them. In case Veronica's current confession is hypocritical and she gives up the dance of restoring the sacred tree, she will fall into Veronica's trick.Veronica hated the eldest princess for nearly a hundred years. She said that if she changed her attitude, she would change her attitude. It would be too easy to believe it directly. Compared with this, she said that she had a strong dislike for the entire elves, and she hoped that the elves would sooner. The possibility of death may be even greater.

Of course, you still have to verify the facts yourself. The verification method is very simple. Since both Veronica and Shenyue can try the dance of the sacred tree, why don't you try it yourself?Whether it is dangerous or not, you will know once you try it.

For the sake of Veronica's vigilance, Fia also kindly responded with some information.

"I met Clark on the way back to the capital."

slap.

There was a sudden sound of something breaking in the silent birdcage - Fia was sure that it was the sound of Veronica squeezing the cup out of cracks.

"He's still alive? Where?!"

Veranika's shoulders trembled, and her pale face suddenly turned rosy.

Since the water in the cup did not leak out, Fia pretended not to see it and said calmly.

"Maybe in the capital now, he said he would come to rescue you."

"He's finally here..." Veranika's face showed a strong joy, and then, as if she remembered something, she suddenly reached out to Fia, her red eyes stared straight at Fia, as if she was going to put Fiya swallowed it alive, "What about you? What did you do to him?!"

"He had a quarrel with Anastasia, and then we separated. You don't need to put on such an expression, I didn't do anything to him. After all, I am not the same as you, and we don't owe each other, so I didn't do anything. Necessary. Although Yeledo is my father, if you do something wrong, you are wrong, and I will not help evildoers."

"That's good..." Veronica sat back in her seat, but her breath was obviously much more disordered, "Thank you for telling me this, I will be ready, did he tell you when he will come?"

"No. How could he tell me this kind of thing? I just turned a blind eye. I won't help Yeledo or you."
