Extra Story: The Girl with the White Rose

"Now, please give your blessings to the newlyweds."

The light of the morning light slanted into this hall from the window, and it was filled with the great nobles of the green empire. The candles were flickering, and they were brilliant. Waiting for the arrival of the two emperors.

The hall became very quiet for a while, and many eyes looked at the door, waiting for it to open.

Today is my wedding, and it is also an important ceremony in the empire. In the tradition of the Green Empire, after a man and a woman get married, they will be regarded as a real adult, and they will begin to come into contact with power and enjoy respect, but it also means no longer There are all kinds of privileges when you are a teenager.

'Frocia, you must mature as soon as possible. ’

Before getting married, my mother reminded me of this while sitting in the bedroom.

She took care of my hair slowly with her hands, spread it out in the sun, looked at it carefully, and stroked it slowly, as if she wanted to keep this color firmly in mind.

When I was very young, I was closely watched by adults. Although the Landsworth family is very prominent, and it is normal for the family's direct blood to be watched, my name seems to appear more often than my brothers and sisters. in their mouths.

In the eyes of adults, this is a good thing, because children who are concerned can always get more love. But children don't think the same way as adults, especially in the Landsworth family, which is known for its many etiquette.

Because the ancestors were poets, they preferred literature, painting, and other beautiful things, so they demanded more behaviors and etiquette for children in the family. This tradition has been carried on and spread throughout the Eastern Territory. After all, the Landsworth family is the nobles of the Eastern Territory. The leader of the alliance, everyone will imitate it unconsciously.

Strict etiquette is very suppressive of children's nature, so my brothers and sisters resisted a lot, and of course, they also received a lot of beatings and criticism. It's just that when it's my turn here, it's different.

"Although you are my child, I still feel a kind of surprise and surprise, as if I got the Silmaril of the sun." My mother hugged me and narrated in detail.

I didn't deliberately remember any manners and etiquette. I was born to adapt to this kind of life, like a swallow passing over the water, light and natural.

'The Silmarillion of the Landsworth Family', since then, the nobles of the Eastern Region have begun to call me that. My appearance far surpasses that of a girl of the same age, and I attract attention wherever I go. People are distressed, after all, no one likes a life without privacy, and being paid attention to all the time.

'Since you are the sun, you are destined to be unable to avoid the eyes of others. ’

Once, when I told him about my distress in my father's study, he said this philosophical remark, and it took me a long time to adapt to the eyes of the people around me, and strive to be in literature, poetry, extraordinary skills, Music, dress, behavior, voice, etc. are perfect, and gradually let yourself not show any shortcomings.

But such efforts in turn aggravated the effect of this halo, so much so that my father told me later that many of the great nobles in the imperial capital had heard of my reputation, and the emperor would send envoys to visit me soon.

What this means, for the great nobles in the empire, it is very easy to understand.

After some entreaties, my father finally agreed to me, refused the emperor's proposal, and then sent me to school in Emenas, where the sages are located in a permanent neutral place, even the emperor's authority, in There will also be suppressed.

The knights in the family escorted me through most of the empire to this famous academy deep in the mountains of sighs.

Life in the college is like the warm manor of my hometown. I no longer have all kinds of elders here to visit me, and there are few peers disturbing my life. Everyone seems to be attracted by another classmate in the class.

For the first time, I'm no longer the center of attention, which is a wonderful feeling, allowing me to sit in the audience and watch the silver-haired girl surrounded by everyone.

Her name is Rochelle, and she comes from a country in the west, a country that used to be as famous as Verdant, but seems to have changed owners recently.

This girl has a different beauty from mine. She looks more fragile and lovable. Her light blue eyes are very clear. Although she doesn't talk much and has a quiet personality, she has an amazing charm that makes Ban. My classmates are obsessed, and even I have to admit that this girl does have an otherworldly charm.

Of course, she became the monitor of the class. This is something that everyone discussed in private. I also voted in favor of it, and even a few imperial classmates who were paying attention to me also voted.

As Luo Xier became the class leader, she had to take responsibility. She would whisper to everyone about the recent study arrangements and various activities in the class.

The freshmen are all geniuses and firsts everywhere. It is hard to say that there is no arrogance. In other classes, being the monitor is a chore. Unless you can double-over all your classmates in terms of identity and extraordinary strength, you can gain a little respect.

But Rochelle doesn't seem to have such conditions. According to her own description, she is from a civilian background, and because of her poor health, she occasionally asks for leave, and her fighting strength is average.

Even if the objective conditions are really bad, but everyone likes her, and even thinks that listening to her soft and delicate voice is a kind of happiness, so they all cooperate with the arrangement of the monitor.

Unconsciously, our class has also become the most harmonious group in the grade, and everyone is always happy.

I didn't know this at first. I thought Emenas was so beautiful. It wasn't until I chatted with a few older brothers during the holidays that they were talking about various things they encountered in school, and I was surprised at this situation.

I am very grateful to Rochelle, because of her existence, I lived a quiet life for the first time

Leisurely life.

You can sit quietly under the window sill in the classroom, slowly flip through your favorite books, chat with your classmates occasionally, and then, under the leadership of the monitor, everyone plans to go there for dinner tonight and take a walk and play games together.

I like this kind of life very much. It is like a fish in the water, comfortable and comfortable. It has both liveliness and its own quietness, and can choose freely.

Slowly, I also began to get in touch with Rosie, and it was easy to get used to it, and it was not as difficult as I expected.

This is not an empire, and not every girl of the same age is like the eldest Miss Li in the aristocratic circle. She thinks a lot, is cautious and deeply guarded. I warned myself, and then tried to get along with her in the same candid manner.

As I talked with Rochelle more and more, I became more and more curious about her. This girl is not as innocent as I imagined, on the contrary, she seems to be clear and comfortable after understanding many world events.

Facing all kinds of things with peace of mind, neither in a hurry nor in a panic, under the warm and earnest gaze of the light blue pupils, many things were done slowly and unknowingly.

Because of her existence, for the first time, I doubted the teachings of the family. Can birth really decide everything?

It was always a joy to be friends with Rosie, watching her speak softly to the horse when she was learning to ride, rubbing the head and neck of the black horse, and panicking when she was licked by the horse's tongue, riding on the horse's back, Luo Seeer couldn't speed up at first, and she was reluctant to beat the horse she dismounted. I stepped forward to tell her with a smile, in fact, as long as you pinch the belly of the horse and give a signal, most horses who have received training will know to speed up.

During the lunch break, everyone gathered in the quiet hall of the temple, some lightly playing the strings of the violin, and some playing the rhythm on the side, and then Rochelle would stand up a little shyly with everyone's push, close his eyes, and whisper softly. singing.

In Temple College, chant was a must-learn course, and Rochelle was so good at it that the teachers asked her to sing and said it was the best thing they had ever heard.

I don't quite understand how the hymn is judged. I just know that when Rosie sings, even the birds outside the window will be quiet. I am afraid that only the singer in fairy tales can match her.

With the existence of this girl like a silver moon, I finally experienced the way of life of ordinary people in my college life, as well as everyone's ideas and hobbies, which corrected many misconceptions I had developed over the years, and realized the normal standard. how it should be.

If only such a life could exist forever.

Although my father repeatedly refused, the Emperor's will became stronger and stronger, and even I, who was far away from Emenas, gradually noticed the dark tide of the upper layers of the empire.

No longer embarrassing my father and family, I took the initiative to return to my home, and I began to meet the envoys sent by the Emperor, and then, under the escort of the knights, set off for the imperial capital.

Titenia is extremely prosperous, and even in the prosperous Eastern Region, no city can have such a grand atmosphere, lively and colorful.

After meeting a few familiar childhood playmates, they told me the current situation of the imperial capital, and then they were brought into the palace by the red-clothed messengers in the Rose Palace.

After walking through beautiful and elegant palaces, turning around beautifully carved corridors, I finally arrived at this courtyard.

Father and the emperor were sitting in the white round pavilion in the courtyard and talking, while I was sitting under the flower arbor and watching from afar, waiting for their conversation to end.

The afternoon sunlight passed through the flower vines and became fine and mottled. The breeze accompanied the cicadas. I slowly swayed on the swing, looking at the green and white flower vines on the side of my hand, and my thoughts drifted far away.

The marriage is almost certain, and the beautiful campus life is over. In fact, after Rosie gradually stopped coming to school, the school gradually became boring.

Will she marry in the future, and what kind of person will she marry? I began to think about this question, but nothing came of it.

Just when I was in a daze, the maid on the side came to remind me in small steps, and then I stood up, lightly blocking the sunlight above my head with my hand, and looked at the approaching blond prince.

Dauphin, Ansair, the fiancé that the Emperor and my father made for me.

After the first meeting with Ansel that day, life seemed to have changed. The crown prince began to visit frequently, and various discussions began to appear in the imperial capital. They seemed to know before me, I Will definitely marry the prince.

Ans El, the crown prince who is praised by people, seems to be a little dull. I can sense his nervousness when he is talking to me. As the heir of the empire, shouldn't he be a veteran in the social field, so clumsy, when I am When he asked his brother this way, he replied with a helpless expression that wanted to laugh.

"It's not like that, Frothea."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Anseier is indeed a very good person, and I can't compare to him in some aspects. The reason why he is like this in front of you, have you forgotten your own charm."

"Let me tell you what outsiders say about you, my sister."

"The Silmaril of the Landsworth family, the pearl in the crown of Titania, the golden hair like the sun, the eyes as clear and moving as lake water, the beautiful and alluring maiden, the future White Rose Queen of the Empire, Her Royal Highness Frothea."

"Okay, okay, don't say it anymore, the long-lost feeling came to my mind again, so gorgeous, but so suffocating, there was no dead angle to hide." I shook my head.

After knowing the reason, I no longer despised the crown prince, but started talking to him slowly, and gradually I was also moved by this prince. Maybe not the perfect marriage partner in my mind, but at least it wasn't bad. choose.

If he becomes emperor, can I

Guide him to slowly change the country and make it a little better, so that he can invite Rochelle to the palace with peace of mind in the future.

If I become the queen of a tyrannical king, I'm afraid I won't have the face to be friends with Rochelle in the future.

Regarding the beautiful world she told, I yearn for it. Although it is far away, I also want to get closer, so that she will not blame me for marrying me so obediently.

Feeling the little glass bottle hanging on my chest, I feel a little guilty for leaving school early, not being able to accompany her more, and I don't know if her body is really getting better. The fainting at the winter festival party was really frightening. to me.

The thoughts flowed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the official marriage came.

When I walked into the hall, I had a sudden feeling that it seemed a little unreal, but with the assistance of the priests and ceremonies, I followed the process step by step.

Finally, the closed door opened, but it was not the father and the emperor that I expected, but another prince who entered.

The battle had begun, and although Anseir did not flinch and bravely faced the scene of the betrayal, the outcome remained unchanged.

Looking at the blood slowly flowing on the ground, and the face in peace, I understand that the fantasy scene in the past hesitation has been completely shattered, and the empire is destined to embark on the road of iron and blood.

The glass bottle was shattered, and the water droplets in it reflected the colors of the rainbow in the air, and the stars fell into my forehead. A cool and clear feeling emerged in my heart.

The flow of the wind, the vibration of the air, and everything around me began to appear. An inexplicable intuition led me to retreat, avoiding the eyes of everyone in the hall, and gradually disappearing into the candle-lit hall during the chaos.

Wearing enamel high-heeled shoes with golden flowers on a white background, I ran fast. I was amazed that I was able to be so stable, never fell, and every time I just staggered the gazes of others and the guards, and avoided the search with a wonderful luck. Leaving the Rose Palace.

During the war in Titania, I hid in an uninhabited house. The owner of this place should have recently gone on vacation to the south. The things inside are very perfect.

After going through the most dangerous time like this, I looked at the brilliant crown that was outlined in the sky, and a familiar feeling loomed again. There seemed to be an angel in the sky, and even though I couldn't see the face of the angel, he still could. Rochelle's face always appeared unconsciously.

Thanks to the gentle silver moon that occasionally appeared in my life, I was able to spend a quiet time and sort out everything about myself.

It had been a few months since I returned to the Landsworth house. At that time, no one was notified, only my father knew.

"Just come back." He stroked my hair with a kind of joy that was lost and found.

"It's all my fault for forcing you, Frozia, you are always so smart and understand the difficulties of the family, but since fate is fortunate to free you this time, then you can freely choose your future life."

"It's to go back to the Landsworth family, continue to be the eldest lady that everyone admires, then get married and enjoy the glory and honor."

"Still no longer appear in the eyes of the world, live an incognito life, and gain the freedom and freedom of life."

My father recited the words in the poem and asked me softly what I thought, and I chose the latter not surprisingly.

"Sure enough, it is the child of the Landsworth family." The father smiled after hearing this, and then continued.

"Several generations of ancestors of our Landsworth family are like this. They yearn for a life of freedom and no pressure, but as an heir, they can't let go of everything."

"Then, be brave and do what you yearn for. Don't pay attention to all kinds of responsibilities. Regarding your mission, you have completed it well, and you don't owe your family anything, and we will no longer interfere with your choice."

Avoiding the eyes of the world, I lived in seclusion in the corner of the Emerald Forest and spent the truly fulfilling time of my life.

Here I learned things that I wanted to do before and didn’t have time to do, things that I liked but got tired of being asked for, things I’m interested in but don’t want to be judged by others, and so on.

In my life, whether it is planting flowers, farming, traveling, walking, painting, writing poetry, etc., I have tried all the things that Rochelle mentioned.

I have to say, she really brightened the trajectory of my life.

Years and years have passed until a letter is delivered to me.

The Empire is once again at the crossroads of choosing its future.

So, what I didn't accomplish last time, I'll do it myself this time.

——I would like to use this poem to miss my old friend, Rosie.

A pure white unicorn flag with a blue background, I put on the armor that covered my face, clenched the lance in my hand, and started to move forward, composing the poem in my heart.
