Janna silently helped the witch find the reason, and with a humble smile on her pale face, she asked tentatively again:

"Then... when will you be back?"

The cold Xinghui finally left the sky and returned to Janna's eyes, but the awe-inspiring chill hurt the girl's fragile pupils again.

It's just that Janna didn't choose to back down this time. She gritted her teeth and persisted, trying to find what she had lost in the dark depths.

"I should... never go back, Your Highness."

boom--

Janna will never forget that was the first spring thunder that streaked across the sky this year.

Chapter 57 The Six Year Nightmare

The silver light of lightning shone through the gloomy world, and the momentary time and space froze into a pale daze.

Did you hear it wrong?

It should be... After all, there was such a loud thunder just now.

Looking at the unprecedented coldness in the star pupils, the girl's pupils trembled violently amidst the thunder.

The endless buzzing lingered in my ears, I don't know whether it was the echo of the thunder, or a lie in my heart.

"I will not go back, Your Highness."

As if worried that Janna didn't hear clearly, the witch once again stabbed the girl's bleeding wound with her cold voice.

Not in the mood to continue to be afraid, Jana could only stare blankly at the witch's face with her lifeless eyes.

Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and he tried hard to find a place to hide his smile from that piece of ice.

Yes, she must be bullying herself again...

Then when I was sad and crying, he put on a joking smile to tease me, he was really bad as always...

It's just that the tears that were comparing with the raindrops didn't seem to agree with her thoughts, and the tears fell faster and faster and denser.

"May I ask why?"

Trying not to cry in her trembling voice, this is the last strength Janna can maintain in the face of the witch.

With the same problem, Janna was also constantly reviewing herself in her heart.

Today's own performance was indeed poor, and there was a stupid negligence, but this would not make Miss Higrit suddenly become so unfeeling.

Could it be that I accidentally did other things that shouldn't be done?

Is it that I shouldn't be jealous when she's kind to Li?Shouldn't you be sneaking up on her eyelashes when you wake up in the morning?Or should she not eat the best-cooked omelette on her plate?

Neither seems to be.

A mature woman like Miss Higrit will definitely not be angry with herself because of such a small matter.

Then why on earth...why do you treat yourself like this...

Tears, that is the symbol of Janna's cowardice and incompetence, is the sincere emotion that she thought she had exhausted.

At this moment, in front of the witch, he is using it to vent his own weakness without hesitation.

"Your Highness, what are you hiding?"

Enduring the pain of silence, Higrit's words that fell suddenly started a more clear and penetrating torment.

"I... didn't hide anything..."

Looking directly at the depths in the starlight room, enough to penetrate the soul, Jadeite's eyes were suddenly tinged with panic in addition to grievance.

The secret that he tried his best to hide seems to be constantly being unearthed by the other party's sharp eyesight.

"Or, what are you afraid of!"

The heart-pounding question touched the girl's dusty memory, and it seemed that the nightmare that had lingered for six years was about to usher in a real awakening, and that was also the moment when the girl's heart defenses completely collapsed.

"I...I didn't..."

The last perseverance was forcibly broken, and the girl's answer, which was obviously tainted with tears, did not get the witch's sympathy.

Instead, a more brutal interrogation ushered in.

"Why are you holding the sword! Why are you working hard!"

I don't want to continue to listen, and I don't want to continue to face the witch.

In a panic, Janna just wanted to turn around and run away, into the vast rainwater.

However, Higrit grabbed her back by the collar and pulled her back roughly.

In the end, the witch clasped the two thin wrists with her left hand, and her right elbow firmly pressed against the girl's chest. Janna's entire body was firmly pressed against the white stone wall by Higrit.

"look into my eyes!"

While scolding in a deep voice, the witch forcibly lifted the girl's chin with her right finger, so that the pitiful gaze was aimed at herself.

The helpless teardrops could only drip down on that white hand continuously, and the girl could only show her weakness to beg the witch's forgiveness at this moment.

However, the seemingly slender but powerful fingers, not only did not relax the slightest strength because of this, on the contrary, they pinched the girl's wrist bone even more painfully.

The cold words were more like a whip dipped in salt water, lashing hard at the wound in her heart.

"You are not for the country at all! You are not for the subjects! You are just for atonement for yourself! For repentance!"

The pretentious ugly face was exposed roughly, the hidden sins in his heart were exposed in front of his most important person, and the girl's crying had completely drowned out her last reserve.

"Tell me! What happened that day six years ago!"

Even though Janna looked like she was on the verge of collapse, Higrit still didn't stop chasing and questioning her, she just wanted the girl to tell the most painful thing about herself.

"Don't remember! I don't remember anything!"

Even though she was firmly pressed against the wall, the girl was still struggling in vain.

She raised her knee with all her strength and tried to forcefully knock the witch away, but Higrit pushed her back violently with her calf.

"Let me go! I really... don't want to remember anymore!"

The secret Janna buried in her heart never told anyone, including her father, King Kastin, and her most trusted teacher, Greya.

Now, she didn't want the witch to know even more.

Just because I want to be with her.

"If you don't say it, then I will say it."

The blurry teary eyes could vaguely see the sneer at the corner of Higrit's mouth.

In a daze, Janna finally understood that the witch had actually seen through the hidden secrets buried in her heart long ago.

All the tenderness she gave herself may be for this moment of slaughter.

This is the consequence of being close to her.

I am like a moth, running towards warmth and light with all my heart, but in the end I can only be burned out.

Thinking of the fleeting light when I looked back in the Tower of Dawn, when the knife was about to fall on my heart, I really couldn't find the calm and fearless courage I once had.

"You have always felt that your cowardice killed your mother and elder brother, and all you did was to atone for the past."

The fingertips hang down weakly, and the tense muscles suddenly relax.

Janna allowed herself to be brutally ravaged by the witch, and her body no longer had the slightest intention of resisting.

"You're avoiding, you're afraid of everything at that time. Including yourself, and the nature that saved you in the crisis."

Criticism is entirely correct.

The light in Jade's eyes widened, and her hollow and desolate look made people feel distressed, but Higrit was still a cruel woman.

"That day when you learned that Cherie had awakened her nature in a desperate situation, her expression instantly became unnatural. I think your sun also awakened under the same circumstances."

It is still an accurate guess.

Sure enough, Miss Higrit is the smartest.

"If my guess is correct, when the Kuroshio broke through the defense line and rushed into the mansion where you lived, your mother and brother hid you and took the initiative to lure away the invading dark creatures, but in the end you were found by monsters .”

Plain words narrate the thrilling experience, which is the nightmare that Janna will never get rid of, and it is also the regret that is rooted in the bottom of her heart.

At that time, she could do nothing but curl up in the narrow cabinet with the doll and cry, praying that her mother and brother would return to accompany her sooner.

She's just a cowardly and incompetent piece of shit.

"And when you were in extreme fear, your body actually awakened the nature of the sun, and released a huge power far beyond common sense, directly burning all the monsters to death, right!"

That's right, that cowardly and incompetent self seems to have won the favor of the world.

Just when the monster's foul-smelling bloody mouth was about to bite her, the terrified vision was suddenly dyed brilliant gold.

When the girl came back to her senses, she found that all the fear had turned into charred corpses all over the place.

When the first ray of dawn outside the window shone into her eyes again, the loud and nervous shouts of the army could be heard in the distance.

Janna knew she was saved.

But her mother and elder brother... neither came back.

I didn't have breakfast with her as usual, I didn't listen to her complain that the fried eggs in the kitchen were too old, I didn't braid her hair carefully, I didn't praise her new dress so beautiful...

nothing left.

They can never come back...

"So, you hate yourself! You feel that your own cowardice is the real murderer who killed your mother and brother."

Yes!

Janna hates why the world only favors her!

If only she wasn't so cowardly and incompetent!If at that time she could bravely stand up first and protect her mother and elder brother behind her!

Then they can all survive!

What a wonderful world that would be...

It was she who killed the person she loved the most with her own cowardly knife.

"So everything you do afterwards is to repent of the sins in your heart, right?"

That's right!

I don't understand anything at all! Before the age of 12, she was just a playful and smug princess who only read boring stories every day!

I don't understand the country, and I don't understand righteousness...

But she knew that those were the great ideals that her brother was constantly chasing, and they were also the gentle but strict expectations of her mother.

So from that day on, Janna stopped living for herself.

She put on a false mask, shouldered this heavy mission, and prepared to go on forever until the last moment of her life.

That's the only way she can atone for herself.

She began to learn knowledge desperately, and trained hard day and night, just to relieve the painful regret in her heart.

It's just such a selfish reason.

"This is also the reason why your solar nature has never been fully liberated, because your inner subconscious has actually been resisting it."

Janna is grateful for her own nature, which helped her escape after all.

Janna hated her own nature, which forced her into an abyss beyond redemption.

"So do you think you've changed now?"

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Janna vaguely felt that the witch's voice suddenly slowed down a lot.

But the heart full of holes has long been unable to recover, and can no longer even carefully disguise herself as before, and calmly perform a superficially strong appearance.
