Chapter 488: Unaware of Pain
Chapter 489 Unaware of Pain
Isabel's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She snorted softly and slowly woke up from the slight shaking.
...What happened just now?
The memory of the last second was still stuck in the conversation with Aiwas.
Then she vaguely felt that the whole world was shaking and wrinkling. It was like a sudden shaking earthquake that shattered everything, and it was like a fragile and thin paper box was washed away by a flood. She vaguely heard the terrible hurricane roaring, as if she was in a battlefield and listening to the earth-shaking roar.
She shuddered and felt great fear. It was as if the house she lived in was about to be destroyed by a tornado. The sense of crisis made her feel as if she would wake up in the next moment, but she heard a sigh again.
A dry and hoarse voice like sand grinding her throat sounded: "Go to sleep."
So she fell into a deep sleep again.
When she woke up again, the things that remained were like a dream, hazy and unpredictable.
...But she was already in a dream.
Will people in dreams still dream?
Isabel fell into a brief confusion.
"Isabel, Your Highness."
As if she heard a voice, Shafiya's voice came from outside the house.
So Isabel woke up immediately, and her expression returned to calm.
She tried to lift the quilt and turn over to get up. At this time, she finally realized that it was not that she felt dizzy, but that the "house" itself was shaking.
——This is a boat.
Although she had never been on a boat, she still instinctively realized what it was.
Why was she with Aiwas just now, and the next moment she was on the boat?
...Did I lose my memory for a period of time?
An idea came to Isabel's mind, and she looked up at Shafiya with a somewhat melancholy look.
"Is it because you can't sleep well, Your Highness?"
Shafiya whispered: "Do you want to go outside to blow the sea breeze?"
"I just... thought of Aiwas."
Isabel shook her head slightly, and she was about to cry.
This is of course also a performance.
——Compared to waking up in a daze, so she felt "confused" and "doubted".
It would be relatively reasonable to suddenly feel depressed and sad at night. Not to mention, Isabel can barely be regarded as a princess of a fallen country now, so it is normal for her to be unable to sleep and have wild thoughts.
Sure enough, Shafiya did not doubt that there was anything wrong with Isabel.
She comforted: "Nothing will happen to Aiwass. Isn't Sherlock with him?"
"But, I have been away for so long..."
Isabel's voice was full of emotion, and tears suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes: "I want to see him! I want to see him now-"
Seeing that this princess, who was always autistic, now showed such strong emotions and rarely became willful, Shafiya just smiled bitterly, but felt a little happy in her heart.
It was the first time she saw Isabel have such clear likes and dislikes.
Before this, Isabel always did not make a clear statement about her attitude. When asked if she was okay, she would nod gently and would not express any opinions. No matter what was given, she would accept it, and no matter what was fed, she would eat it.
She never refused, but she seemed to never be very happy.
Meg is tough and free-spirited, and is naturally optimistic. She never cares much about the emotional problems of such children, and can't understand them at all; George doesn't understand girls' thoughts at all. For him, there is no difference between princesses and princes.
But as a half-elf, Shafiya can empathize with Isabel. Feel sorry for this most vulnerable little princess.
As a half-elf, Shafiya Morgan's blood purity is quite high.
Generally, the blood of half-elves is one-half, one-quarter or even less... and her blood is at least more than 80%. Because almost every generation of her ancestors would choose elves as their partners.
They worship their ancestor Morgan so much that they don't even change their surnames.
According to the tradition of Avalon, after the ancestors become apostles, the descendants often change their surnames. Through this ceremony, they express that they have no intention of holding on to the glory of their ancestors, and will survive on their own in the future, and will never cause trouble to their ancestors or ask for help from their ancestors when they encounter troubles-completely opposite to Xingti's idea of "always remembering and inheriting the glory of their ancestors".
The Morgan family is an exception.
Perhaps it is because she did not become a knight of the Silver Crown Dragon, but became a fairy on the path of love and chose to follow Shadow Tiansi. Her descendants did not hide this surname - they inherited the name Morgan openly. Trying to purify the bloodline through this method and restore the long lifespan and powerful talents of the elves.
In this case, Shafiya received a very strict education since childhood. Not only did she have to learn the language of Avalon, but also the language, common sense and understanding of the Theocracy, as if she was not a human, but a pure-blooded elf born in Avalon.
The elders in the family have a long lifespan, and even the great-grandfather is still alive and healthy. They have high expectations for Shafiya... because she has a beautiful face, elegant temperament, and very obvious elf characteristics. She also knows complete elf etiquette, and her accent is the same as the elves of the Theocracy.
Even the elves of the Theocracy cannot tell whether she is human or not. If she gives birth to offspring with the elves again, she can be regarded as an elf.
Shafiya used to be like a puppet, listening to the education of her family and obeying the orders of her family.
Delicate, cold and silent - silent, like a bird in a cage.
This is somewhat similar to Isabel, but also different. She is not like Isabel, who is suppressed by the shadow of death and blocks her heart. It is because she saw everything clearly at a young age and knew that she had no possibility of resistance, so she might as well accept the reality.
If she did not resist, she would not feel pain.
If you obey orders from the bottom of your heart, you will not be unhappy; if you are dissatisfied, try your best to change the reality... When everything is settled, you have missed the original vision. Just like the toys you wanted when you were a child, you no longer like them when you grow up. Is there any point in buying toys after making money in the future?
Obviously, no.
So Shafiya chose another way.
"I don't like that thing anymore," she told herself. If you can't change the reality, then change yourself.
She kept repeating this, constantly rewriting her heart. Because of this, she reached the fourth energy level at a young age and came into contact with the fifth energy level of the path of authority... and thus stood beside Queen Sofia, who had just ascended the throne.
"Livestock are not domesticated because they are stupid, but because they are too smart."
The young queen's words, seemingly unintentional, deeply hurt her heart.
- In the end, she chose to rebel.
She married an ordinary human.
That was her subordinate, an arbitrator in his thirties.
The other party did not have any special talents, nor did he have the apostle blood of the founder's family. Not to mention the elves he had always thought of. It was just because the other party loved him wholeheartedly from the bottom of his heart - not because of the name "Morgan" or the blood of the elves, but only because of himself.
"- From now on, I am no longer Morgan!"
After blocking the assassin hired by her family for her husband for the third time, Shafiya angrily broke off relations with the Morgan family.
Now, she looked at Isabel. It was like looking at her past self.
The depressed, silent, painless Isabel is just like Shafiya when she was a child;
And now Isabel is fully awakened, with her own will and likes and dislikes...
Just like Shafiya who has learned her fate and rebelled against the fate of her bloodline.
The queen taught her this experience in the past.
And now I want to give it back to her granddaughter.
