Blue Sword

The door was slammed hard.

Ask's mouth was half open, looking at everyone in the room.

Emperor Otto was in a state of despair, the Acid Dragon looked indifferent, the Fantasy Dragon covered his face and sighed, Otto had a complicated look on his face, his brother Ludwig shook his head, and the Duke of Bavaria felt extremely guilty.

The six people with six expressions made Asik dumbfounded, thinking that this annual bloody drama is nothing more than that, right?

Then he remembered something and said quickly:

"I'll go get her back."

"Please." The Duke of Bavaria said quickly.

Even the word "you" was used, which shows how distraught the Duke was at this time.

But if you think about it carefully, asking her two "fathers", the Duke of Bavaria or Emperor Otto to persuade her, will definitely be counterproductive; instead, Aske is like this, who has a better relationship with her, but has nothing to do with her complicated family relationship. , is a more suitable guide.

So after speaking to everyone, Aske hurriedly left the room.

"Excuse me, have you seen a tall blonde girl?" He called to the hotel waiter passing by in the corridor.

"Oh, she seems to have gone to the stairwell." The waiter said as he showed him the way.

Ask rushed to the stairwell, and there were two roads ahead: up and down.

Suddenly, for no reason, he recalled in his mind the scene of Eleanor sneaking out from the family banquet to see him that night at Weisbach Palace.

She should... choose to go to the rooftop, right?

More importantly, if she chooses to go down and leave the hotel from the lobby on the first floor, it will be difficult to find her. But he firmly believed that Eleanor didn't want to escape once and for all - she just wanted to find a place to be quiet.

Going up the stairs to the rooftop and walking out of the stairwell, Asik saw that there was no one on the rooftop except for a few pigeons perched on the railing.

Oh, did you guess wrong?

He sighed in frustration, and was about to turn back and go downstairs to continue searching, when he heard a voice from behind:

"Captain...you really came to see me."

"Eleanor?" Ask turned his head and saw Eleanor leaning against the wall next to the door, gently supporting her body with her hands behind her, with a sad face.

"You are here." Asker breathed a sigh of relief, "Eleanor..."

"No," Eleanor said softly, "I know what you want to say."

"Then tell me what I want to say?" Ask smiled.

"Strong people don't have such troubles, so they have to become stronger." Eleanor whispered.

"Hey, am I becoming a strong monster?" Asik complained excitedly.

"What is a strong monster?" Eleanor asked.

"It's a kind of monster that keeps telling you, 'You have to become stronger'." Asik joked casually.

"Oh." Eleanor lowered her head, her expression a little uncomfortable and frustrated, "Asker, you don't need to enlighten me, actually I have figured it out."

"Have you figured it out?"

"You see, one can never choose one's origin." Eleanor showed a forced smile, "But she can choose what kind of person she becomes."

This was quite accurate and insightful, so Asik knew that she was not trying to get into trouble, but was just feeling depressed.

"It's good if you can figure it out." Ask nodded, "Actually, in the long run..."

"In the long run, becoming the daughter of an emperor will undoubtedly make it easier to realize one's political ambitions than being the daughter of a duke." Eleanor said in a low voice, "What's more, I can have both identities at the same time."

"Eleanor, you..." Ask hesitated. Because Eleanor's expression when she said this was too calm, so calm that she almost didn't look like herself - not like the knight Aske knew before.

"Dirty," Eleanor said suddenly.

Asker:?

"I feel dirty for having such thoughts." Eleanor said with disgust.

Ask breathed a sigh of relief. You see, so this hasn’t changed...

"I don't think so." Ask tried to enlighten her, "It's normal to have such thoughts."

"Is it normal?" Eleanor shook her head in disgust, "If it was me before... I would hate people who have such thoughts."

"There are a lot of things that kids hate." Ask laughed and said, "Slowly, everything becomes 'really delicious'."

"It smells so good...what do you mean?" Eleanor was a little confused.

"That's a classic story." Asker explained, "A long time ago, someone started a project to allow children from rich families to experience the life of poor people..."

He told the story of Zhenxiang vividly, which made Eleanor laugh and even shed tears:

"Really, how can you arrange people like this..."

After laughing, she gradually became relieved and said with relief:

"Actually, I understand what you mean, Ask. People always like to dwell on past situations, so they are at a loss in new environments. Some people choose to resist, blame themselves, or even deceive themselves... But life must move forward after all. You can see it, right?”

Asker:? ? ?

Wait, is this what I meant? I do not know how?

"It's just like the child you mentioned. When I first experienced the food of poor people, I just felt disgusting and difficult to eat, but it didn't take long to adapt." Eleanor sighed, "And me? I'm just a Is it so hard to accept that I am just an imperial princess? Am I so pretentious that I am not even as good as a child?"

Ask:………………

"Uh..." He was still trying to say something, but Eleanor had wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Captain. Whether it is Eleanor of Weisbach or Princess Eleanor of the Empire, they are all part of my identity - I will not change."

"Well, you just have to figure it out." Asik thought to himself, what else can I say? You have said everything that can be said...

"However, if she is an imperial princess, how should I calculate the account for assassinating the emperor earlier?" Eleanor became distressed again.

"I think Your Majesty shouldn't mind this matter." Ask said truthfully, "otherwise he wouldn't come to you."

"That's not what you said." Eleanor immediately said stubbornly, "After all, he was at fault that time, of course I had to stop him... I mean, since I am his daughter, then I won't Instead of assassination, they should be discouraged first.”

Didn't you dissuade me before the assassination? Ask thought for a moment and asked:

"What if he doesn't listen to you?"

"Then I will use my status as a princess to poach him, destroy his plot, and stop his atrocities." Eleanor replied, "Unless he plans to sever the father-daughter relationship with me, that's fine, I can use my real violent means."

Ask:………………

So you are not obsessed with assassinating your father, you just think you should be polite before fighting!

However, today's Eleanor is indeed much more mature than the "innocent Princess Sophie" in the game, although her temper is still exactly the same.
