The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

If we ask ourselves, Triss probably doesn't know why she asked this question out of nowhere.

Perhaps it's because she is about to leave this place that she considers a sea of ​​suffering, which means she will be separated from Prince Edsac forever... But isn't this what she has always longed for?

Why do I ask this? Will I choose to stay when Edsac replies that he is willing?

That's impossible, but why should I be looking forward to Edsac's next answer?

However, no matter what he says, nothing can stop my determination to leave here. I am a man, and even if I become a "witch" now, I will never marry a man!

Triss repeated this idea several times in her heart with great determination.

However, her eyes seemed to have been inadvertently passing over Edsac's face, taking in all the latter's expressions.

…………

Prince Edsac's mood was a little complicated.

Upon hearing Triss's question, which seemed to mean that she finally accepted him and was even willing to marry him, His Highness the Prince's first reaction was to be extremely surprised, and he almost subconsciously wanted to agree.

But in the end, he remembered that he was the king's son.

Many people within the Loen royal family hope that he will marry Miss Audrey of Earl Hall's family, not only to win over the new party, but also to show favor to the "Church of the Goddess of the Night", and the former Edsac did not agree with this.

Not exclusive.

Of course, after meeting Triss, his mind immediately changed.

But love can impress oneself and bring happiness, but it cannot change other people's opinions.

Your Highness, marrying a commoner woman will bring shame to the royal family and cause unimaginable resistance. The privileges of being a prince in the past will all turn into pressure at that moment.

Therefore, it is not that Edsac is unwilling, but simply unable to make a commitment. He has the ability to give Triss love, but he does not have the courage to give Triss marriage.

So, he fell silent.

During the process of thinking, Edsac almost wrote all his emotional changes on his face, and Triss, who had been paying attention to this, naturally saw it clearly.

For some reason, her heart seemed to twitch, maybe it was relief, maybe it was sadness.

She's not sure.

In this rare silence, Triss looked into the distance, seemingly just admiring this beautiful world.

Suddenly, Edsac raised his head, his tone seemed to be trembling a little, and he said:

"Triss, we..."

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps quickly came, and a middle-aged man quickly walked onto the balcony, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"What are you doing?" Edsac's tone was a little unkind. He looked at the familiar servant in front of him and asked in a deep voice:

"What's got you so flustered?"

The middle-aged man's sharp eyes quickly glanced at Triss, then fell softly on Prince Edsac, bowed and replied:

"Your Highness, there is a battle between extraordinary people in the north direction, not far from the manor. The battle seems to be very fierce. I am worried about your safety, Your Highness, so I came here to protect you."

Edsac glanced at Triss, gave her a comforting look, then frowned, turned to the middle-aged man and said:

"In a battle between extraordinary people, who are the two sides? Is it possible that it could spread here?"

"It's not clear yet, Your Highness." The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"Then go and find out." Edsac ordered in a deep voice: "Bring more people with you. If it is an operation by MI9 or the three major churches, then we will provide some assistance depending on the situation."

The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and blurted out:

"But for your safety, Your Highness..."

Edsac waved his hand and interrupted as if impatiently:

"I don't have to worry here. Just go ahead and carry out the order. Backlund has been chaotic enough recently, and it's not enough to make people laugh!"

The middle-aged man seemed to want to refute, but when he saw His Highness the Prince's resolute look, he bowed and walked out. But before leaving, he glanced at Triss emphatically, and the latter just gave him a flat look in return. No words were spoken.

The middle-aged man moved very quickly. It didn't take long for him to gather a small team, mostly the guards of His Royal Highness. They left the Red Rose Manor neatly and galloped in the direction of the spiritual fluctuation.

Edsac and Triss, who witnessed this scene on the balcony on the third floor, were silent for a while. His Royal Highness seemed to have made up his mind and spoke again:

"Triss, we..."

Unfortunately, this time he still couldn't say anything, because Triss made a move that interrupted him for the second time.

Just now she saw that most of the familiar guards had left the manor, Triss had a long-lost heartfelt smile on her face. She turned around and saw Edsac's sincere look, and immediately raised her index finger to her mouth, explain:

"Please wait a moment. Close your eyes first."

Edsac was a little surprised, but he still closed his eyes obediently and asked aloud:

"Triss, what do you want to do?"

"I want to..." Triss paused, and then added after half a second: "Do what I have always wanted to do."

Edsac suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to speak, but his head was groggy and his body quickly became weak. He just sat down softly, with an expression of disbelief on his face. The expression, and the urgency visible to the naked eye...

Triss gently supported His Highness the Prince and placed him on the recliner, feeling a little complicated.

She raised her right hand and gently slid it across Edsac's cheek. She didn't say anything more, but finally sighed inexplicably, with a sense of relief hidden in it.

Then, she deliberately knocked over the exquisite tables, chairs and tea sets, creating a powerful spiritual wave, and then jumped down, her figure becoming transparent in mid-air.

She had time to listen to what Edsac wanted to say, but she didn't choose to listen... There was no unnecessary reason, she just didn't want to hear it.

Soon, the noise caused by Triss attracted the Beyonder guards who stayed inside the manor. When they saw His Highness the Prince, who had fallen asleep, they were shocked. After confirming that His Highness the Prince's life was relatively stable, they were shocked. , then he breathed a sigh of relief, but was unable to pursue Triss.

What Edsac did not say was this:

"Triss, if I am not a prince, I can only be your husband, okay?"

This is also the reason why His Highness the Prince sent away his own bodyguard. Otherwise, normally, he would not have this obligation at all.

Unfortunately, he failed to say it out loud, and Triss did the right thing. She did not let herself hear these words and left here decisively.

To a certain extent, this is also a blessing.
