I Like This Dream!

The world will not stop because of someone's absence.
After Count Anna left with the sinner first, the king and the nobles discussed other issues. Given that Richard II was a very opinionated king, most discussions ended with the king's desired outcome. For example, how to deal with the remnants of the rebels. For example, the choice of the new queen.
"Wait, Your Majesty!" Marquis Samuel stood up in shock, then fell back before losing his balance. "My youngest daughter is almost twenty-five years old, and we had an engagement when Earl Edward was alive..."
"That happened many years ago." Richard II said magnanimously. "I know that your youngest daughter is engaged to Qing Sullivan, but she has not been married for so many years. It would be unreasonable to let her waste her years in vain. It would be unreasonable to delay it any longer. .I will make the decision today and declare this engagement invalid!"
"Count Anna happens to owe the king an omega!" Ford joked.
The nobles began to make eye contact again, and most of them never thought that this good luck would fall on Marquis Samuel. Since losing one of his legs and no longer being able to fight on the battlefield, the former Red Flame Wolf has fallen into despair and drank all day long. If his eldest daughter, Jane, was not still fighting on the border of Thebes, the Stewart family, which had an unstable foundation, would have faded out of the upper class society long ago. Could it be that the king was willing to marry the unmarried omega in order to reuse the Stewart family?
Only a few powerful ministers, such as Prime Minister Roland, knew that this was all because of the prophecy about red hair and the throne. "Before the next annual ring grows, under the red hair, a new ruler will be born." The copper-haired usurper disappeared without a trace, and the red-haired new queen died from the beast tide. At this juncture, the king was destined to... Marry the next red-haired queen as soon as possible so that a new king can be born next year.
In Urburg, Margrave Samuel's youngest daughter was the most convenient and suitable choice.
"Your Majesty, my little girl is so naughty that I may not be able to take on the position of queen!" The ignorant warrior just shied away.
"That must be because she is not married yet!" Ford said with a smile, "It means that your majesty will marry and give birth to a prince and princess, and she will naturally become a virtuous and competent queen!"
"That's my daughter, I know better than you!" Marquis Samuel suppressed his anger and glared at Ford.
Wow, this man's anger is really scary. If he were still the Red Flame Wolf on the border of Thebes instead of the pot-bellied lame drunkard he is now, he would really scare Ford! Ford made a look of fear, sighed in his mind, and wrote a note to this stupid warrior.
"Okay, it's settled." Richard II said impatiently, "Get ready quickly. The wedding will be held as soon as the palace is repaired."
So that's how it was settled.
Marquis Samuel hugged his little daughter who was also stunned at the Uburg mansion. Not long after, Jane ran in. The general who was supposed to stick to Thebes rushed towards the teleportation array at the moment he received the news. "Dad, why don't you refuse!" she shouted urgently. Her father, who had the same temperament as hers, immediately shouted back: "I tried! Your Majesty the King insists! What can I do! I..."
Marquis Samuel looked at his little daughter sitting there, his voice choked in his throat, and for the first time he regretted his decadence. If he had carried more weight, at least the king would have considered his opinion.
"I'll go tell His Majesty!" Jane wandered around the room anxiously for several rounds. She was about to run out, but was caught by her father with quick eyes and hands. "Leaving one's post without authorization is a serious crime!" The Marquis glared at her, "You just added to the chaos by running over!"
"Are we going to watch Eve marry an old man?" Jane shouted.
"That's His Majesty the King!"
"He is older than dad! The last queen was killed by him!"
"Shut up! This is just a rumor!"
"Rumor? How true or false is this rumor?" Jane said angrily, "He is famous... Dad, he may be a good king, but he is definitely not a good husband. Eve will be better off if she never gets married. Marry him!"
"That's enough, dad, sister." The only omega in the room said, "Let me be quiet."
Eve stayed in her room all day. The initial shock passed and her mind started to work again. The omega walked to the window, brooding, brooding, without saying a word, until her sister came into the room again.
Jane looked crestfallen, crestfallen and wary, and Eve knew from one look at her that their efforts had been fruitless. Eve smiled reassuringly at her, and Jane felt even more uncomfortable. She hugged her sister and gritted her teeth.
"I'm sorry, Eve..." After saying these words, Jane suddenly raised her head and said eagerly: "How about I send you away? Let someone else pretend to be you and marry the king, and then you can..."
"Then I have to live as someone else for the rest of my life?" Eve asked calmly.
"Then, then," Jane was stuck for a long time and said in frustration, "Isn't there anything you can do?"
"I'm actually very happy, Jane." Eve said, "Neither you nor my father happily married me off for the sake of the position of queen."
"What are you talking about!" Jane's eyes turned red, "What can compare with you? Nothing can be as happy as you, Eve, I promised my mother to take good care of you, you are our most important family member... …”
"I know, I know." Eve hugged her sister and patted her back gently like a child, "We take care of each other, we have always done that."
Whether among nobles or commoners, the Stewart family is a rare close family. Marquis Samuel loved his wife so much that he never renewed his relationship after her death and treated his two daughters equally. They have all kinds of flaws, but they are wonderful parents, daughters, and sisters. Even the most loyal Marquis Samuel would choke with the king over his daughter's marriage (a great thing like marrying the king!), which is unthinkable for any noble family.
"Jane," Eve said suddenly, "do you remember the games we used to play when we were kids?"
"Which one?" Jane didn't react for a moment.
"The one who dressed up as a princess." Eve laughed, "I was still clamoring for a tiara, but you stole my mother's bracelet and twisted it into a tiara for me, and my father chased me and beat me three streets."
"Oh, that." Jane also laughed, "Yes, you really like it..." At this point, she smiled a little reluctantly, "Now you can at least wear the queen's crown."
They remained in this position in silence for a while, and then Eve spoke again.
"But what I want is not a crown or a princess crown, never." She said, "Do you understand, sister?"
Eve could feel her sister in her arms tightening her body after a moment, breaking away from her arms and staring blankly at her face. She looked back quietly, feeling relaxed as she revealed her innermost secrets.
"Are you talking about...?" Jane asked hesitantly, looking at Eve and nodding. She opened her mouth wide and said incoherently: "Are you serious? The only queen in history who succeeded in rebellious government was eventually killed. The king is not the kind of soft-hearted person, and what you want is... this is too, too……"
"Too crazy?" Eve laughed, "Look at Thunder Castle, what did it look like a few years ago? A few years ago someone told us that a prosperous city would appear on the border, and I thought that person was going crazy."
"Indeed, we have seen a lot of 'craziness' recently." Jane picked up her chin and shook her head subconsciously. Eve could understand that it was not a rejection, but an exclamation for her. Jane is a very straightforward person, and therefore, she can easily accept many shocking things.
"On my own, that's just a fantasy." Eve said, "Will you stand by me, sister?"
"Nonsense!" The flames in General Tibbs's eyes burned again, as if he was seeing a new challenge. She hugged her sister tightly and said, "I'll always be by your side!"
At this time, Urburg was busy due to another order from the king.
The main city is being rapidly repaired by superpowers. The Royal Guards and Royal Knights are running around, setting up a dragnet to capture the remnants of the rebels. The traffic arteries and teleportation arrays from the suburbs of Ulburg to major cities were heavily guarded on the second day of the Black Beast Rebellion, and could not be passed without strict review.
The conspirators who were unable to leave that night now had to face an ever-shrinking encirclement.
Cherry sprinted down the alley, her lungs about to burst from the violent gasps, and her feet were weak. The pursuers were not far away, and they were getting closer day by day. Many times Cherry thought she would be caught immediately.
She must not be caught, she would not be caught, she was already an experienced knight. Moreover, the younger Adrian was running in front of her. Even if he sacrificed himself, he could not let Adrian suffer misfortune. Cherry knew very well that it would be worse if the omega fell into the hands of the enemy. They finally escaped, but many people had died for it, Nicholas... Cherry's vision blurred, she wiped away her tears hard, and ordered herself to keep running.
Therefore, even if reality becomes like hell overnight, you must never give up.
The prince became the conspirator who brought the alien beasts into the city and framed them. The leader was arrested on charges, the adjutant died in the battle, Nicholas sacrificed his life to save Cherry, and many comrades who had managed to survive the claws of the alien beasts were killed. The guards caught him and executed him on the spot. Cherry didn't know how many others or, besides Adrian, she was separated from. She prayed with all her heart that everyone could escape.
The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer.
Adrian stopped suddenly and Cherry bumped into him, only to realize that there was no road ahead.
"Will we die?" Adrian murmured to himself, "I don't want to die..."
Who wants to die? Didn’t everyone who died that night want to live? Cherry bit her lip and drew blood. She searched around desperately, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Look there!" she shouted in a low voice, "the window! Let's climb in!"
Adrian nodded vigorously, and they grabbed the raised bricks on the wall and climbed into the window three times. Are you saved? When Cherry fell to the ground, she heard a cry of surprise and saw dozens of people in white robes standing in front of her.
The Holy One.
The shadow of despair enveloped Cherry's heart. Her hometown was Alinggu, and she knew all too well about this group of terrifying monsters that could not change. The person who has always been most disgusted with the Knights of the Wind, besides hating the alpha warriors of the other two genders, is this group of defenders in robes, and she and Adrian are also wearing the badges of the Knights of the Wind!
The shouts and curses of the pursuers came from the window, and it was only a matter of time before they entered the monastery. Cherry and Adrian, who was about to cry, looked at each other. They still had the last penis left for them.
Suddenly something fell on them.
Not weapons, but two sets of white robes. "We mean no harm," said a holy man, "please put it on as soon as possible!"
They were still stunned when two saints came over and quickly covered them in white robes, covering them tightly from head to toe. A few saints pulled up the gauze and wiped away the footprints on the windowsill. Others hurried out and came in quickly, carrying the statue under the window sill and placing it where it could be illuminated by the light. Then they took the familiar position and knelt down, surrounding Adrian and Cherry in the middle.
Within two minutes of their kneeling, the royal guards arrived.
The leading guard kicked open the door and got stuck in the door frame. He saw the statues of gods shrouded in the light, the candles everywhere emitting incense, and the black clouds... no, it was white flowers and ghosts in white robes. Following the noise he made, they all turned around and fell silent. looked at him.
When the Holy See was at its strongest, anyone who interrupted the collective prayers of saints would be executed. Even now, they can still do this in Alinggu. The leader heard the guards behind him take a breath and all took a step back. He swallowed and said sternly: "What are you afraid of? This is Uburg! We have been ordered by the king to capture fugitives!"
A holy person stood up from the kneeling people. He (or she) stood in front of the leader, with the holy symbol representing Alinggu's birth shining silver on his chest.
The leader couldn't help but take a small step back.
"Lord Holy One," he softened his tone, "We are here to capture the fugitive. Have you seen anyone suspicious?"
The holy man made a series of gestures, and no one in this group of royal guards knew what they meant.
Damn Alinggu Holy One, the leader cursed, damn you for not speaking human words. He had no choice but to smile apologetically and said: "Sorry, none of us can understand... Can you let us go in and search?"
The Holy One stopped gesturing. After a while, a soft voice rang out: "After interrupting our prayers, do you still want to search the place where the Holy One will step into the Holy One's prayers with unclean feet?"
The team leader's heart skipped a beat. From what Guimao said, the other party was obviously an old-school saint - the old-school plus Alinggu, roughly equal to a fanatical believer who would regard purification as a daily activity and have the ability to do it.
"Of course, of course the saints will not protect fugitives!" He sneered a few times and ran away.
Shortly after the guards left, two men in white robes quickly broke free from the white gauze. Cherry and Adrian gasped with fear, looking at these saints in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds. The leading saint wearing a holy emblem came over and actually took off the white gauze, revealing a very young face.
"Good day, knights of the Knights of the Wind." The brown-eyed girl smiled, "Nice to meet you, I am the Holy Esther."
