She Is Not a Witch Chapter 304: Princess Mononoke’s Choice


After discussing the matter with Aitexi, Lorraine Hill also felt a little sleepy. During this time, he has been exploring the remote and dark seabed. Not long ago, he was swallowed by a big whale, and later he ran around collecting information and intelligence. , Although the process was not dangerous, it also accumulated a lot of fatigue.

After the end, she and Tehua returned to the residence to rest.

In the polar night of the Northern Continent, you don't have to worry about the sun shining into the house, and you can sleep as long as you want.

Put on light-colored pajamas, lying on the soft quilt, this sage girl fell asleep very quickly, and even had a very long dream.

In the dream, she seemed to be a child, playing with Bu Mansha and Vimiya, and later went fishing together, and then a big whale popped out of the river and swallowed her.

In the haze, it seemed that many familiar faces walked by again, and then the consciousness fell into a blur again.

When the girl woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, or the time on the pocket watch showed that it was afternoon.

"Are you up?" Tehua was already awake at this moment, she was sitting at the table not far from the bed, as if she was flipping through a booklet.

"Wake up." Lorraine Hill rubbed his eyes, looked out of the window in his slippers, feeling that he hadn't slept for a few months, and then sat back at the table.

"Sleep late again." The girl whispered, as if she was a little dissatisfied with being so lazy.

"You are already very diligent, Lorraine." Tehua comforted softly.

After the two had lunch in the mansion, Lorraine Hill said that he was going to find a friend first, and then went out alone.

Since they parted ways at Scarlandi that day, the two hadn't seen each other for a while, and Lorraine Hill could vaguely sense that Yixue was in the capital of the ice elves.

In the night sky full of stars, Lorraine Hill gradually floated up, facing the cold night wind, until it reached a place overlooking the entire Beiyaohan Mountain.

Then she opened her hand, and the slightest breeze began to blow, washing every corner of the city and bringing her a lot of information.

"Where is it, Yixue?"

Lorraine Hill, who closed his eyes, perceived it quietly.

——————

In the depths of the palace, Yishegelin sat on a throne that had not been used for a long time.

In the huge hall, besides her, there was only one other figure standing quietly in front of her.

The ice calendula princess supported her head with one arm, leaned on the throne a little lazily, and talked with the person in front of her. The ice-blue flowers on the skirt are layered upon layer upon layer, refracting a dazzling array of light spots.

"I didn't expect you to be alive, Archibald." Yi Xue turned her face to the side, looking at the tall window sill not far away.

"Yes, Your Highness, this subject is still alive." The ghost, which was as blue as ice liquid, barely formed a human form, and replied with an old voice.

"It's a pity that you no longer have a body. If it were me in the past, the first thing I would do when I return to the courtyard of the Ice Palace would be to kill you." Yi Xue seemed to have a slight dislike for this old man.

"It is my honor, because it means that His Highness has grown up."

"Hmph." Yi Xue had long had an impression of this old man who didn't care about others and was extremely difficult to deal with.

After the death of the previous Ice Elf King, she was supposed to succeed her, but because she was young and had no experience in handling government affairs, the affairs and power of the Ice Palace Court were almost all handled by the three controlled by the duke.

Afterwards, under the coercion of public opinion and the situation, she, the princess, had to go to the battlefield herself, which eventually led to her death in that distant foreign country.

"The responsibility for the accident at the beginning was entirely on the subject and a few old friends. After learning the news of His Highness's death, I regretted it and was heartbroken."

"Then the war collapsed like a mountain, and we had no choice but to lead the rest of the tribe to leave the mainland and migrate here to avoid disaster in order to survive."

This old official explained what happened back then with an extremely sincere voice. If it wasn't for Yixue Gelin, who is now a high-ranking existence in the Necromancer Sequence, knowing that his emotions are true and not lying, I am afraid that he would have been tortured and beheaded a long time ago. killed.

"What's the use of talking about it now." Yi Xue shook her head.

"Fortunately, thousands of years have passed, and the ice elves have survived. They did not perish under the world tree like the silver elves."

There was a brief silence in the hall.

Afterwards, Yixue spoke again and asked about this ancient ghost, who was one of the three Duke families, the ancestor of the Lukad family.

"Besides you, where are the other two old guys."

"Since you can survive, they should do the same thing. Although you have united in the past, you can't say that you have absolute trust in each other. I don't believe it. They will let you live alone."

"They..." The old blurred figure twisted and sighed slightly.

"They're gone."

"Fisild melted into snow water more than 500 years ago, and Elans dissipated like smoke more than 100 years ago. Now I am left. If it takes a few more decades, I am afraid that His Highness will even see me." It's gone."

"This kind of transformation secret technique is not the right way after all, and it is almost reaching its limit now."

"That's really good, this way I don't need to do it myself, hum." Yi Xue glanced lightly.

Even after so many years have passed, after recovering her memory, those old events still make her feel hard to calm down.

"Although my time is short, I have no regrets to see His Highness come back to life." , I'm afraid I'm already in tears.

"My resurrection can only be said to be an accident, which was not in your plan back then."

"If you didn't deliberately suppress and suppress me at that time, how could those things happen later."

"I was immature at the time, and I was fooled and deceived by you for many things. Later, I died outside because of your aggressive generals. Can you say that I did nothing wrong back then?"

"Back then, alas..." the old man sighed again.

"The few of us did make a wrong judgment at the time, but it was not our intention to let Her Royal Highness fall outside."

"Perhaps you don't know, when you set off, we secretly added many insurance measures to your team, so that you can survive with a high probability even if you are on the battlefield."

"But what I didn't expect is..." He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"But I didn't expect that the Mercury Dynasty would have such a ruthless decision. They directly sent 4 witches and 5 Sequence 9s to attack them directly across thousands of miles, and let me die at the foot of the Sighing Mountains, never to return Homeland."

"Say yes, Archibald." Yishe Gelin turned her face and looked at this old figure coldly.

"Yes, Your Highness." His voice was extremely dry and full of remorse.

"You are always like this, thinking that you have calculated everything, turning others around, making the court of the ice palace unpredictable, so that everyone dare not easily refute your authority."

"It seems that in this way, some unnecessary explanations can be avoided, and even if the goal is not achieved, it will not make a fool of myself, so as to maintain its own authority and status."

"I didn't understand then, and now I understand, it's just disgusting."

"Your Highness is scolding." He couldn't refute.

"Hmph." Yi Xue took a deep breath, as if she didn't want to talk to this old official anymore.

"You go down."

"Yes, Your Highness..." After agreeing, the figure twisted and hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to speak.

"From now on, will His Highness stay here?"

"Are you afraid that I will take away your power? Don't worry, I don't care about this anymore, and I will leave by myself after a while." Yi Xue looked at her fingers on the armrest, thinking that she was already dead Don't get too involved with the past anymore.

"No, no, I sincerely hope that Your Highness can stay and lead the ice elves to glory again." The blue figure begged again.

"Glory, what else is there to be brilliant? The first era of the elves has ended for thousands of years. Do you still want to counterattack and go back?"

"It's not a counterattack, I just hope that you can reintegrate the ice elves and change the old and dead appearance."

"Heh, isn't this created by you? You keep suppressing all kinds of emerging new forces and ideas, and try to maintain the traditions and customs of the past."

"We, we have to do this only as a last resort." Archibald explained with an old voice.

"Since the bloodline of the royal family was cut off, the family has been unable to choose a legitimate elf king. Although our three duke families have a prominent status, they were only vassal families serving the royal family in the past, and did not have the prestige and strength. Unify the whole family."

"However, the system and order still have to be maintained. If we don't suppress those emerging new forces and ideas, within a few hundred years, the ice elves will split into several pieces because of their different ideas or forces. I can't gather anymore."

"When the time comes, it will be like a mess, internal fighting will become inevitable, and the number of ice elves is not much. One mistake, it is very likely that the entire race will become weak and extinct."

"So, you all know that this is an extremely damaged shelf, but you still refuse to change it, and try your best to support it, right?" Yi Xue's voice was full of sarcasm.

"It's really easy for you to justify and find reasonable reasons for your actions."

"Now I feel that I can't hold on any longer, and I want to support me again, and transfer the pressure that may eventually collapse to me again."

"What's the difference between this and what happened back then, it's really ridiculous."

"Your Highness, what you said is indeed true, but the situation is completely different now than it was back then."

"At that time, we may still have our own selfishness to hold some power, and we don't want to entrust everything to you who is immature."

"But now, we have no way out. The older generation has long passed away. Even if we can transform into such ghosts, they will just continue to linger in deep sleep."

"Many of the new generation of ice elves have never seen the outside world. Even if there are outstanding ones among them, they lack exercise and cannot bear heavy responsibilities."

"Now the only one who can easily unite the whole clan together again and lead them to take another step is your Highness. Besides, after this long time, you have become mature and calm, and you are no longer the one you used to be. The young princess is fully capable of becoming the king of the elves."

"We have no other choice. If you are willing to take the throne, you can punish your subordinates in any way, and even directly announce the truth of the past events of the whole family, clean up us old officials, and then do things conveniently."

"You are determined to say these words easily, but now your descendants, will they be willing?"

"It's too naive to listen to a ghost of a princess who has never been seen in the past, hand over all her powers, and let me be a mermaid."

"I am no longer the naive girl I was back then, and you don't need those deceptive words to guide me."

"I know that they may be unwilling, and may have some dark thoughts, but!" The old minister spoke again, and his voice suddenly became sharper.

"However, as long as Your Highness is willing, I am willing to go forward for you and wipe out these rebellious juniors."

After finishing speaking, the hall fell into silence.

From the old man's point of view, with Yishegelin's current strength and the assistance of the old people like them, it would be a breeze to clean up the upper echelons of the ice elves. And what if those juniors don't want to, they can't stop the return of the princess.

"I'm tired, let's talk about this later."

In the end, Yishe Gelin didn't answer the old minister, but asked him to retreat, and stayed alone in the lonely and deep inner court of the palace.

.

.

.

Looking at the carved ancient drawings on the ceiling, Yishegelin fell into deep thought.

In fact, she also has conflicts in her heart. On the one hand, because of her past memories and her background as a princess, she cannot completely let go of the current ice elves.

But on the other hand, she hates the court and political affairs, and doesn't want to get involved in these complicated human calculations. If possible, she would rather live in the isolated lake and flower sea in the Mountains of Sighs, and be alone. Sleeping quietly at the bottom of the lake, occasionally chatting with Lorraine, and then taking a walk in the sea of ​​flowers, living a simple life like this.

"In the final analysis, I am the same."

After a long time, the Princess Mononoke sighed.

She used to say that Lorraine Hill was always too kind and weak to reject others, but when it came to her own choice, she found that she would not behave better.

There are always some things that cannot be let go. Even after sleeping in that cold ice coffin for so many years, when those memories come to my heart again, they are still so hot and difficult to calm down.

She regretted her own weakness back then~IndoMTL.com~ hated those vassals and nobles who lied to her, but she couldn't cut off all of them.

The beautiful flower-like life when I was young, flawless and pure, under the peaceful courtyard of the World Tree, all the seniors came to visit me, looking forward to it, and the fairies played around me, giving all kinds of blessings and blessings.

All these things raised her, and constituted her first memory and everything, and kept a quiet and serene soil in her heart, surrounded by faint concerns and longings.

What should I do? Do I still have to embark on this road?

As she was thinking, a flower made of ice and snow twirled gently between her fingers.

Finally, she sighed quietly, leaned back on this lonely throne, put the calendula on her forehead, covered her eyes, and prepared to take a quiet nap or recall for a while.

Shortly after, in the empty hall, a silver-haired figure descended quietly, walking towards the hesitating Princess Mononoke.
